2016 NFL Draft Discussion Thread [No Spoilers]

No excuses with secondary no more. Something must be wrong with billings

 

I read he is better in coverage than bell. for what that is worth. I am happy

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

duh

 

HAHAHA now New England has two straight picks and has all of our favorites on the board. **** us

Edit, they traded out.

 

And our front 7 sucks balls

They're building a house of cards

 

Davis should fit right in...

drat profile weaknesses At times, was disastrous in man coverage. Dinged for 614 yards receiving against him. Slow, upright backpedal and clunky when turning to run. Seemed to be too big and lacking in foot quickness needed to play cornerback. Flagged for four pass interferences, a late hit and a personal foul this year. Charged with ten touchdowns allowed over last two seasons. Missed tackle numbers are troubling with 40 over last three years. Allows too much separation and can’t click and close on throws.

 

hating this draft right now. Then again, I loved the 1980 and 2008 drafts at the time, so...

 

why? who in the hell will keep him off the field

 

How was he at safety?

 

YES WE ARE! Had a feeling it would be Davis. Would have liked Billings, too much value to pass up.

 

Golden and Mitchell I would think. You don't think they'll start 2 rookies do you?

 

Both Burns and Davis have poor coverage grades by PFF, tape is not necessarily their friend. What are they thinking here, guys?

 

I like the pick. The kid is fast, strong and can jump. Yes, he showed that he isn't a CB, but I don't think the Steelers are drafting him to be a CB. He can tackle and force fumbles.

 

I don't see why they cant start 1. burns wont start I don't think. gay and golson will imo

 

What? Our depth is a little shaky but our front 7 is pretty damn good. Top 5 in rushing and 3rd in sacks. I mean what more do you want out of a front 7.

 

CBS draft tracker gave them an A+ for the pick, if that means anything

 

I'm stunned.

 

Maybe it our new draft strategy? We draft guys we like one round early from now on to ensure we never get disappointed? We call it the "Reach for the Stars" strategy.

 

Here is what Jeremiah had to say about him.


"Davis played corner last season, but safety previously. Height, weight, speed ... he checks all those boxes. He rose up late in the draft process. He's very raw, but the upside is tremendous." -- Daniel Jeremiah

 

I

Well Billings did play for Baylor, and they have a lot of players getting in trouble.

 

our new young DB's might not start but we are getting some fast big athletes for our special teams

 

Not according to the NFL draft profile.
