Let's go get Delpit
Yeah. This is the first time in years I've looked at the draft day depth chart and have no idea who many of them are.
Best case is 8-8 behind a fun high power offense and mercurial defense.
Diggs falling to us here is probably best case scenario. Day 1 starter at CB, we need it.
The general consensus seems to be that Brown is a fine player, but a giant, run stuffing nose tackle with unproven pass rushing isn't what you usually take at 7, and it's not what the Panthers need.
I still don't mind it though. We weren't going to be competitive this year, so I'm fine stowing away someone who seems like a sure thing for better days. And like someone mentioned earlier, we have by far the slowest QB's for any division in the league, for at least a little while longer.
I assume this means we're mostly going to be in a 4-3. I haven't seen enough confirmation of that. Not sure what that means for Burns and the other drafted LBs who seem more geared toward a 3-4. No idea if the plan is still to move Shaq inside to replace Luke. Ideally, Burns learns to put a hand down and can be a great pass rusher.
Auburn played such a tough schedule last year that I got to see him on a regular basis. He may not have big sack numbers, but I think he's more than just a 2 down run stuffer. He fucks up a lot of plays. I'd rate him as a maybe better version of Haloti Ngata, who was 1 of my favorite players. Really smart kid too.
He seems to have the tools and size. Even if he's at DE, we need another one, hopefully in the 3rd or 4th after we get a DB or two.
We might take one here in the 2nd round...
Sort of like how we were going to trade back to take Hendeson who was drafted 9th ?
That was indeed the plan, if they traded back.
So the plan was to trade back from #7 to #8 to draft the guy who was going to get picked at #9 ?
Didn't take Simmons because Luke is coming back in 2021. One can hope right....
