You’d think a team would have more success with recent generally solid 1st round picks like this.

5	Brandon Scherff	G	Iowa
22	Josh Doctson	WR	TCU
17	Jonathan Allen	DT	Alabama
13	Daron Payne	DT
15	Dwayne Haskins	QB	Ohio State
26	Montez Sweat	DE	Mississippi State	[ap]

Shows how important a franchise QB is.

Ha! What's not to love about Jordan Davis...? I love that whole Georgia defense.

Yeah. Davis would look nice in powder blue. DT1 in my book, over Leal. Which is crazy because I’m not even sure Davis the best DT on his own team. That could very well be Jalen Carter, who’s not eligible till ‘23.

Leal is a DE not a DT. He plays on the edge about 75% of his reps.

Correct.

Probably shouldn’t label him as either DT or DE, just DL.

Depending on scheme, he could play either position in the NFL, as well.

My focus is usually on the Chargers, so he would be a down lineman in Staley’s front.

I think a 4T/5T is his best NFL position.
I haven’t done any work on his 2021 tape yet.
TAMU’s entire front 4/5 are draftable prospects and add multiple DB, multiple offensive playmakers, and 1 big time OL prospect.

I would too. I just have a hard time picking a NT in the 1st round.
Do you think TT/Staley might go after Sebastian Joseph-Day in free agency?

I think that would make sense. I see TT targeting DT, CB, and G in FA.

But not drafting Davis if he falls to us would be a mistake. He’s too rare a player.

[Fleet 1]

Micah McFadden is a stud. Dont even see him ranked on a bunch of guys top 150. I think he could end up flying up boards. Just watch the way he plays. Mid round guy at this point but i think hes comfortably in the 3rd at this point. The motor and want to is off the charts. High IQ dude. Probably wont time fast. Just a baller.

[Classic]

CB just moved up the list of needs. Not that you can't ever have too many but I worry about Samuel staying healthy with his small frame. This Eagles game showed we might have a need at 3rd CB and that Ryan Smith is a overrated DB that this coaching staff hyped up all year.

McFadden has just skyrocketed to the edge of Top 100 per The Draft Network. Good scout's eye. Round three.LB depth with Kyzir, Tranq, Niemann. K-9 to EDGE.

Another prospect I like for us is Georgia Bulldog EDGE Travon Walker. He has desired length and explosion.

Furthermore, this guy carries his 6'5" 275# frame. I see someone who can even add 5-10# and kick inside on passing downs. Round 2.

There is versatility in roles. EDGE. 5Tech. 3Tech. Exactly what we need. Then get a Fattie 1Tech with one of our many 6's.

It is all about ORT and Front Seven.

We’ve been saying it for quite some time: Chris Harris Jr. is running on fumes. It’s his last year. Starting outside corners in 2022 will be Davis, Asante, and Campbell at slot.

It’s a thin set, and I’m not sure Campbell is the nickel starter if someone falls to us in the draft. Asante’s health/slight frame is another valid point.

Here’s a thought…

‘22 Free Agent pickups:
Sebastian Joseph-Day, DT
Wyatt Teller, OG

’22 Draft:
R1: Trent McDuffie, CB - inside/outside versatility. Great speed and sure tackling ability.

R2: Zion Tupuola-Fetui, EDGE - Great compliment to Bosa. Tremendous pass rusher. Can drop into coverage.

R3: Max Mitchell, RT - Natural RT. Technician with great arm length and agility.

R4: Best RB available. Looking at Zamir White or Brian Robinson Jr. to compliment Ekeler.

Remaining picks to add depth.
