LB. probably inside.


got to get Matthews back outside. too bad Ragland will be long gone b/c that's a guy they could use there.

[TwoStep2888]

an ILB would be nice, Clay back outdside where he belongs

Eagles should go OL or simply just BPA. None of these QBs are worth taking in the top 15.

[Lee3691]

Anyone with a guess on where Zeke Elliott will go? Just about every scouting report states he is the best blocking tailback to come into the league in a long time, along with being a superior rusher and pass catcher.

[dmbmuskie]

Zeke looks like a second round pick to me.

Only for those "Never take a RB in the first rounder" Lance Zierlein has him as the #4 player in the draft: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...2016-nfl-draft

[Speilmen230]

Just depends on who needs an impact RB and is willing to spring first round money on him.

In the top 10: Titans, Cowboys, Giants all could benefit from taking him.

In the later half, Houston could be a prime team to take him at 22. Foster is made of glass, Blue is who he is, and Polk isn't a viable starter.

[dmbmuskie]

RB is obviously a position I'd never draft if any other impact player at any position is on the board.

Zeke is so good that I think it will actually shorten his career. Ideally, he's getting 400 touches per year and taking on hundreds of other collisions as a blocker. You just cannot do that.

[Lee3691]

and Tennessee is on the clock....

[jrkarger]

Couldn't decide to put this here or in the other thread. But since it deals with 2016 I picked here. Anyway, lots of at number 10

enough to know Derrick Henry is a freak of nature.



and Marshall from UGA has serious quicks. always liked him; if he ever stayed healthy... man oh man.



this is the best draft for RB's in a long damn time. No way I'd burn a 1st on someone like Elliott with Booker, Marshall, Drake, Henry, Dixon, Collins, Ervin,


I'll go on record on this Feb 2016 date saying I'm a huge fan of Dixon and Collins. I like Dixon more than any other RB this year. Even Henry.

Go Stillers!

Derrick Henry is great, interested to see where all the RBs go in this draft

Hoping the WRs were slow enough to convict indy not to draft one in the first round

I think Will Fuller ran himself into the 1st round.

[pearljammer]

Derrick Henry is an absolute FREAK! I remember when he signed with Bama all the other schools were telling him he'd be better at LB and that Bama would eventually move him to defense. He still needs to work on his pad level, though. He runs way too high for the NFL.

[emu513]

Wouldn't touch Fuller in the first. One trick pony.

[Speilmen230]

Interested to see where the Bengals go at 24. I'd love to have Corey Coleman opposite AJ Green.

My gut tells me secondary though. Safety or DB.

Agree.. I'm sure he will still beast though.

very much agree. weak WR class. Outside of Treadwell, not sure i'd take one of these WR's in the top 50.

I don't like Coleman at all. He's small & doesn't like to be bumped.

[Speilmen230]

After watching some highlight film, he didn't really impress me all that much. Often he was wide the fuck open because Big 12 defense.

Josh Doctson seems to be the guy that has really caught their eye after the combine. He his highlight footage was similar, lots of blown coverage, but he also had some fantastic physical in traffic catches as well. Something I rarely if ever saw from Coleman.

Tredwell and Doctson are by far 1/2 in this draft.


everyone pooping on Tredwell for being slow gets a slow like Jeffrey or slow like Nuk?

[YouNeverKnow25]

predictions for doctson have been scattershot. if he somehow lasted to 30 (don't think he will), the panthers would have a tough decision to make.

still think they're taking a lineman even in that situation though

McShay likes Ogbah for the Panthers at 30. That said, I don't put much stock into McShay.

[YouNeverKnow25]

that far down in the order is essentially impossible to predict.

i don't want doctson for the panthers.. in this draft I'd like to get a WR rd 2 or 3.

Ogbah is a good player and I wouldn't be mad but I don't think i'd want them to get an edge rusher in round 1. I think they'd benefit more from an OL or Safety more. Somehow our safeties "work" but I plain and simple don't trust the trio of Roman Harper, Tre Boston, and Kirk Coleman. The releasing of Johnson today, does give them a bit of a need at DE now tho.

If Derrick Henry is available at that spot I'd like him too.

[DMBZeppelin]

March 9th is the start of free agency. My biggest hope is Matt Forte doesn't sign with a team I hate.

[YouNeverKnow25]

I can assure that gettleman will not make the mistake of drafting a running back in the first round

[CrushB610]

Yeah I'm not huge on drafting RBs high but they are picking at 30.. And I don't like Artis Payne as a spell guy as much as I thought I would. Stew is as fragile as they come at the position and could see Henry being a smooth transition for the future while providing a durable back up.

Definitely couple lineman I like at 30, even tho could be reaching a bit - spriggs from IU comes to mind as a nice fit at RT.
