2019 Draft Prospects To Keep An Eye On

[Steve]

Lawrence is a lot better than Malcom Brown, someone the Patriots drafted at the end of the first round.

Great. A former Charger, who was released is their best DL. Any more salt to rub into that wound.

JAG ?
Just Another Guy.

Player development.
Scheme fit.
Position coaches.
It's that vital.

wonder if Greg Gaines could end up being John Parellaesque/good for us ??

So that was Greg Gaines next to Vea last year? I liked him alot watching Vea. I thought they had another real good D tackle waiting in the wings.

[Steve]

Gaines range and penetration is so limited, he might have to move to OL. He stands up and loses any ability to control his man. He is very stout and can stay on the line, but he doesn't have any footwork to give him a chance to make plays.

FINAL FINAL MOCK
Went back to my notes on team needs, contracts, player ages, draft capital spent on position recently, and pundit mock/big board prospect rankings to finalize.

28) JEFFERY SIMMONS (DT) MSST

JR. 6'4'', 301#, 10 1/4'' HANDS, 34 1/2'' ARMS. Jeff is a physically gifted yet hard working dominant interior man child, exceptional length/power/strength/leverage/motor, possesses 4 quality PR moves, wins with power/speed/and motor, possesses explosion at the snap, hand use/placement is outstanding, stacks/sheds/throws blockers, can play anywhere along the line, tough to uproot -extends his natural leverage advantage, fights through constant double/triple team blocks, finishes with SACKS/TFL, has to be accounted for on EVERY PLAY, needs to play with consistent pad level, reco of run blocking schemes needs developing. MCL injury in Feb 2019. HS assault against female, defending sister, took responsibility. ELITE CALIBER PROSPECT.

Why? Top prospect on my board by a decent margin. Without injury/HS incident would be a top 5 pick. Makes our defensive front that much more devastating.


60) JUAN THORNHILL (FS) UVA

SR. 6', 205#, 8 3/4'' HANDS, 31 1/8'' ARMS, 40YD - 4.42, 10YS - 1.52, VJ - 44'', BJ - 141'', 3CONE - 6.86, 20S - 4.20, 60S - . Juan is a naturally gifted, instinctual, fast, explosive, ballhawk that has CB skills and is relentless. He has great feet, excellent flexibility, loose hips, natural movement skills, uncanny ball separation skills, makes BIG plays in BIG games, played all DB positions (CB/FS/SS), HUGE production - 13 INTs/26 PBUs/208 tackles, tremendous mirror skills, overaggressive at times/susceptible to double moves, eyes always have him near the ball, sees and goes on run fills, takes excellent angles, solid wrap up tackler but not a thumper, hand strikes in press are accurate/forceful, disrupts routes at LOS, can be a half tick off as high safety but has the physical tools so can still make the range - very coachable and will speed up with reps at position. Juan's value as a backend chess piece and our FS. His range as our FS is from far hash 2 sideline, can cover any WR/RB/TE M2M, coverage disguise/flexibility, enhance Derwin's impact, eliminate explosive plays, and generate TOs. IMPACT STARTER w/ELITE TRAITS.

Why? The Addae experiment is over. We need a rangy, quality tackling, PLAYMAKER, with speed/instincts/ballskills. I give you MR. THORNHILL!


91) ISAIAH JOHNSON (CB) UH

RSR. 6' 2'', 205#, 8 3/4'' hands, 33 1/8'' arms, 78 5/8'' wingspan, 40YD - 4.40, 10YS - 1.55, BP , VJ - 36.5'', BJ - 133'', 3CONE - 6.81, 20S - 4.06, 60S - . Isaiah is an explosive athlete who is just now growing into the CB role. He is a converted WR 2 seasons ago, very raw, explosive closing burst, + athlete, ideal frame/speed/length/athleticism, technique issues in hip opening/drive on inside breaking routes/feet transition on double moves/punch placement-accuracy, excellent contact balance, has feet/skillset to be a press-man disruptor, best in off zone, great vision in zone, tremendous ball separation skills, willing tackler but needs technique/form improvement. Isaiah has the skillset, frame, feet, body control, and vision to be a shutdown outside corner. STARTING CALIBER PROSPECT W/ ELITE TRAITS.

Why? Corner is a sneaky position of need with the current depth, contract, talent. Isaiah is the perfect match of prospect, scheme, depth/time to develop, and physical traits.


130) ISAIAH PRINCE (OT) OSU

SR. 6' 6'', 305#, 10 1/8'' HANDS, 35 1/2'' ARMS, 40YD - 5.09, 10YS - 1.77, BP 23 REPS @ 225, VJ - 27'', BJ - 115'', 3CONE - 7.9, 20S - 5.02, 60S - . Isaiah was a 3+ yr starter who improved on his craft each year. He made an incredible improvement in his senior year in passpro technique/mechanics. Prince possesses incredible straight ahead power, devastating down/drive blocker, NASTY FINISHER MENTALITY, able to impose his will physically, moves to 2nd level and gets out for screens with power/intent, able to adjust to mobile targets on move, gets immediate and sustained movement at POA, decent feet with his kickslide, when base narrows loss of leverage/inside pressure result, powerful hand strikes jar defenders, hand placement still being refined, ideal frame/size, gets to 2nd level easily limited on 3rd lvl threat to pick up safeties/DBs, plays big in big games. STARTING CALIBER PROSPECT.

Why? We need to add talent, depth, competition, and nasty to the OLINE. Mr. Prince fits that bill with the physical strength, body type, and length to excell.


166) KAHALE WARRING (TE) SDST

RJR. 6' 5'', 252#, 9 3/4'' HANDS, 32 3/4'' ARMS, 40YD - 4.67, 10YS - 1.61, BP - 19 REPS @ 255, VJ - 36.5'', BJ - 122'', 3CONE - 7.21, 20S - 4.25, 60S - 11.72. A raw, inexperienced, uber-athlete who is just learning to play ball. Ideal frame, length, height/weight prospect, physical at POA, blocking technique is raw and in developmental stages, good route tree already, excellent footwork in/out breaks, uses body position to shield defender from ball, tremendous movement skills, natural pass catcher with excellent hands, very raw but high ceiling. Will be developing prospect for 1-2 years but worth the investment here. STARTING CALIBER PROSPECT W/ IMPACT TRAITS.

Why? HH has been healthy in 2 years and is his final contract year. We need to diversify offense with both power run and pass sets being run out of the same personnel packages to dictate games.


200) CORTEZ BROUGHTON (DT) UC

RSR. 6' 2'', 293#, 9 3/4'' hands, 32 3/4'' arms, 79 3/4'' wingspan, 40YD - 4.98, 10YS - 1.75, BP 24 REPS @ 225, VJ - 33 1/2'', BJ - 113'', 3CONE - 7.65, 20S -4.57, 60S - . Cortez is an explosive upfield penetrating disruptor, good lateral movement skills, wins with BURST/speed/leverage/power/bend, heavy powerful hands, placement inconsistent but very active, hot motor, when he is focused he can wreck games, played out of position earlier in career, plays with outstanding leverage, hold/spits against doubles, able to stack and disengage. Starting/impact skillset but inconsistent performance/effort. Strong senior season (still a few letdown games), junior year let down playing mostly 5tech, quality soph season. injury freshmen/redshirted. STARTING CALIBER PROSPECT W/IMPACT TRAITS.


Why? We only have 3 DTs on the roster. Simmons is going to miss 75% of this season BCS. Cortez is a steal here with his skill and upside as an interior passrusher who is also a quality run defender.

242) ALEXANDER MATTISON (RB) BSU

JR. 5' 10 1/2'', 221#, 9 1/8'' HANDS, 31'' ARMS, 40YD - 4.67, 10YS - 1.51, VJ - 35'', BJ - 127'', 22 REPS @ 225, 3CONE - 7.13, 20S - 4.29, 60S - 11.69. Alex is a versatile big back with power, agility, PP chops, and receiving ability. He runs decisively, solid low pad level, breaks initial contact, tremendous contact balance, burst to get corner (10ys - 1.51), a little wiggle, smart kid with chip on shoulder, flexibility allows for 90 degree cuts, runs through arms tackles, delivers jarring contact, excellent vision/instincts, defenders glance off contact, hard/tough/gritty runner, protects the football, good hands, will need to work on PP base and route execution. A complete steal this late in the draft. A 3-down back with power, tremendous vision, 90-degree cutting ability, and receiving skills. STARTING CALIBER PROSPECT.

Why? MGIII cannot stay healthy, last year of his contract, our entire offense suffered without a big complete back, I give you a late round steal in Alex who will do those things for us.

LOL...in my final mock, as yet to be published, I was tossing the Simmons idea around...you stole my thunder. Still...likely best available. But not 100% convinced the staff isn't a little snake bit with injuries. Verret, Lamp, Perryman, Bosa, Mike Williams...even though there has been some great production from some, and still bright playing futures there....there is also a lot of down time from some serious draft capitol in that group. Gotta figure our guys are sick of watching their selections riding the pine, and might steer towards healthy prospects.

[blueman]

Simmons = reverse engineering. A healthy top D player for the playoffs??

If the first two are on the board when we pick and that happened, that would be a great haul for us. The rest I believe will be there. I'd be real happy with that draft. Still would like a WR but with that I'd be fine with it

Last night in inserted Broughton in my mock as well as I wasn't satisfied with my last pick and looking for better value.
I have him in the 7th though. But it really don't matter if he is a 6th or 7th but I like Cam Smith there in the 6th if he is there. I feel like the last couple months has been a cram session for me as I'm catching up on many prospects. I'm video taped out. Bring on the draft!

Almost put Austin Bryant in there but in the 5th and just think he won't be there but i do believe some players are gonna fall and I like him. He does need some work on his rush skills though so who knows.

Cortez is really disruptive. His is somewhat of a 1 year wonder with production but I love his skillset.

I'd even go 4th but I'm bent on a WR lol, and I like A. Johnson.
My second WR pick in the middle rounds is Gary Jennings Jr but don't know if he would be there in the 5th if we picked Bryant in the 4th. So I just didn't put him in. Don't want to be unrealistic but you just never know how it's going to go.

Rashan Gary has a torn labrum, reported by Rappaport.
i don't know why he wouldn't get it fixed, it wasn't going to affect his draft stock. Now it might. He won't last a whole season with it.

He is but they were playing him at DE and he flourished as a DT

I still have reservations the Chargers will pick Simmons when he won't play but I'd still be ok with it. I'll love it in 2020 when we play in the new stadium.
