4/27/22: Woods was a solid safety for the Bears over the past two seasons and played well as a senior with 57 tackles, six interceptions and two passes defended. He has quality height, but he could himself by filling out his frame to tackle in the NFL.

JT Woods S, BAYLOR


Height: 6-2, Weight: 195

Explosive, playmaking safety. Doesn't transition well out of his backpedal than needs work. Once he gets out of it, he flies. Tackling reliability isn't great. Boom-or-bust player that can be star as free safety with Derwin James. (Chris Trapasso)

Great....another bad tackler on the defense. Don't we have enough of those?
Granted, don't expect Woods to see the field very often, except Teams( nice to know TT thinks we're so good we can draft Teams fodder in R3)

His nickname at Baylor was "The Heartbreak Kid", because he creates a lot of turnovers. Incredibly rangy, can free Derwin up to play all over the place. Someone compared him to Earl Thomas. Gives Staley a lot of flexibility in calling defenses.

A 3rd rounder is going to have flaws. If hes coachable we have a guy to grow into the role as clearly he has the range and ballhawk skills. I dont know if hes starting immediately but a good addition where we did need help.

Intriguing pick:
Give Staley benefit of the doubt. Allows Derwin to move into the box or slot. JT can also play CB, ST with that speed.
Nassir is a FA next year.

While I was hoping for an OT in the third round, this pick has Staley's fingerprints all over it. A good bit of his listed weaknesses are coachable and some time in the weight room will help.

Ill fix this thread. lol Looks like we have 30 comments on a post instead of 30 posts.

[Bolt-O]

yeah, just copied from the day 2 thread, maybe too late.

[Fleet 1]

Yeah you cant merge posts from a thread into another. You cant merge anything. Its broken. Just check the boxes of the posts you want to move. And "MOVE" them to a thread. Its the "Move to an existing thread" option. Then you paste the thread link in that box. Sucks i know but TPB insides are all whack. lol

I am gonna try real hard to like this pick....but for right now, I just can't get past Travis Jones being within very cheap reach of us, and we sat tight so we could draft this guy and hang on to a lousey 6th round pick...I really can't see the sense in that, but I guess I don't really know what this team needs....

Exactly.

Guys are in the 3rd round for a reason — even the "steals" that knuckleheads on the board fall in love with.

Welcome, The Heartbreak Kid

Haven’t had such a ballhawk in forever.
