2019 Draft Prospects To Keep An Eye On

[beachcomber]

would gladly take Coney as our good/great value, round five backup ILB/SAM/OTTO.... no thank you to Tranquill's two ACL surgeries, albeit have been intrigued by his intangibles.... would be interested in him as an UDFA only.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n697253[/ATTACH] rarely loses ground to RBs in the hole, brings the THUMP!, tremendous coverage ability, able to manup TEs & RBs, good understanding of route concepts in zone, creates TURNOVERS, a tough hard nosed football player that has all-pro potential.

ninja, Dane Brugler posted his rankings of DTs today.
He has your guy Jeffery Simmons just a notch below Quinnen.

The ACL will drop Simmons 15-30 spots says Brugler.
That puts him in play, possibly, at 28.

Most of Simmons high grade comes from elite strength and athleticism.
There are some technique and refinement issues...very high ceiling.

Simmons has been an Academic All American for a while now.
He has great remorse, saying he lost it in defending his family.

Hmmm, Mebane or whoever on a one year deal + Simmons at 28 ?
How about Simmons at 60 ?

The Most Skilled linebacker in the upcoming draft is Drue Tranquill. A safety turned LB was dominant in coverage at Notre Dame. He is an excellent all-around player with great ability to diagnose keys and is always around the ball.

2 torn ACL has him pretty much off my draft board though.

His teammate Tevon Coney might be a better prospect for us because he is a true Mike LB, although his lack of natural coverage traits makes him look less and less like and every down player.

I do see us getting a Day 3 LB in the draft. Even if we get one earlier.

I can't get behind drafting a player coming off an injury like an ACL given our problems with injured players.

Solid thinking.
At what point might you consider top 5 overall talent
at 60 or even 28?
Simmons is #1 overall on ninja's big board.

If Simmons is there for our second pick ya gotta take em.Still wish we woulda grabbed Hurst.

I loved Hurst. He was my #7 overall and mocked to us in round 1. He had a solid rook season for the rattruds.
Simmons is a fucking monster!
He is more physically gifted than either Fletcher Cox or Chris Jones coming out. All MSST alumni. His has some technique/fundamentals that are minor issues but very coachable.

Redshirt season. He will be in my round uno cluster but if bypassed then and still on the board at 60.....sprint to the podium and the draft is gravy from round 3-7.

No previous injury history.

Id take Simmons at 60. I would never have taken him in the 1st, not with the assault he pulled.
