Draft Day 3 Thread

[glutton4Bolts]

I still want Mack Wilson...DeAndre Walker OLB, Jordan Brown CB, Daylon Mack DT(Square replacement)

I have not spent a lot of time at all this season on the draft... why has Mack Wilson fallen so far? I thought he had a 1st round grade.

Hmm, I'd rather have the more talented guyK as long asahe isi100% and hasn't had any other knee issues.
Keenan had two ACL tears too.

It's kinda like Tommy John surgery. You come back stronger in the area when it heals. Don't have a ligament to tear again. They replace it with something stronger. Wanna say a tendon but not sure.

Tranquill is a recovery machine. If he fails due to injuries, it's because of genetics and not for lack of trying. See the article I posted in the other thread (the welcome one).

I think you are reading that wrong. He is small but has athleticism.

• Doesn't have the athletic traits to consistently recover from missteps
• Lacks speed and length to prevent runners from outpacing his pursuit to the corner
• Stat sheets filled with too many missed tackles over last couple of seasons
• Slow to turn and find football and allows tight ends to separate from him out of breaks
• Man coverage more inconsistent than expected for a former safety

these were the things i read from Tranquil's profile. It is one man's opinion of course, but not encouraging.

Tranquill is a MIKE. Green Dot helmet.

that would make more sense....he's a backup to Perryman (who is often injured). I'd be fine with that. He's a strong dude...that much we know.

The breakdown I saw said Tranquil is undersized and slow.... I don't get this selection at all.... I love the 1st two picks... the Sammy Small School 3rd has potential... but seemed a bit like a hit-or-miss dart throw. I am not at all happy with the 4th rounder.

Reading more about him, we probably picked him because he's a leader and a student of the game (apparently played three different positions on the defense). He also tested decently enough at the combine, and will probably be on ST only this season unless something happens.

Maybe he can show Perryman all his recovery tricks.

i'm starting to warm up to this pick!

Mack Wilson to the Browns

[Topcat]

I'm thinking we go CB or RB...preferably a big, bruising, between the tackles RB...

We don't need a 5th RB. We do need another CB.

Drue is an explosive athlete. He had a couple knee surgeries but who hasn't. He could play all 3 LB spots. Let the coaches figure out where he fits best and we get a ST demon during the transition.

Our LB CORPS is fast, athletic, instinctive, PHYSICAL, position flexible, and can process information very quickly.
