Welcome our 2nd Round Pick: Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware

Explains his 40 time.

Right? I would be ecstatic if we just drafted nothing but O line to finish out the draft!

Whatever happens from here on out is just sprinkles on the sundae.

TBH I think Lone Bolt might have been right...status quo @ Oline for LAC.

He needs better taste in his choice of decals. Although, the last guy we drafted on Day 2, that had a pic with Raiders paraphernalia, turned out okay.

That would not be a wet blanket on this draft but it would be more like a wet washcloth. I hope we get something, anything to compete at Right Tackle though.

I liked Thornhill a bit more, and I am a total Rapp homer...but Adderley was right there with them in my esteem...mostly for his ball skills and playmaking ability...good range...getting him here in the second, very good value...Adderley is a good pick.

Agreed...SMH.

For years I have obsessed on Oline replenishment, and been deflated.

Since I can tell you exactly when-- the day Dielman retired.

I read that Rapp was projected to be more suited as a SS in the NFL.

TT seems to be very good in the draft but maybe evaluating O line is his kryptonite so he just avoids it to a certain degree.

Best scheme fit might be a better way of putting it.

The one thing I don't like about our defensive scheme is that the FS spot is very hard to fill. Getting Adderley gives us a guy who fits the position nicely. Ideal fit as a single high FS, who has great range. He fills the run nicely. He can cover deep and underneath. He does take some bad angles sometimes but makes up for it by having good speed and catching up. I really like that he is a wrap-up tackler and not one of these guys who wildly throws his body around and is a shitty tackler (Raider guy Abrams is one like that). He can play down in the box some, so we can move James around a bit to get mismatches. He can also matchup man to man in blitz coverages. He seems like the perfect compliment to James.

The big knock on his is the consistency of his reads, and that goes back to him only playing S for one season. He spent most of his time as a LCB, and can probably play that in a zone heavy scheme like ours. But his best position should be FS, and I think he is going to need some time to keep learning the position and get up to speed in the NFL, but he should hold the position for years, and be the ideal complement to DJ.

I'm pretty sure the Raiturds were his coaching staff for SR Bowl and they gave out those stickers for good plays. He has a few on that helmet
