Who DONT you want them to draft Rd 1

Who is on your list of guys you don't want? Specifically Rd 1 but can fall under, don't want him at all.

Im worried the Steelers will call Derek Rivers name tomorrow. I don't want him at all but especially at 30. They've showed a lot of interest in him, have a feeling he will be a day 1 or 2 pick. Stiff hips and no bend is a poor recipe for an NFL edge rusher. They should learn from Jarvis and just say no to Rivers.

Im not sold on Lawson either but day 2, I could live with but prefer others.

Ive heard McCaffery mentioned as a rd 1, no freaking way, don't want that at all. Love the player and if he miraculously fell to the 3rd rd, scoop him up. No sooner than that. He's going first rd though, just better not be to us.

Any WR or Oline rd 1.

 

Any QB - tv will be broken
David Njoku - tv will be shut off
Jarrad Davis - obscenities ensue
Zack Cunningham - see above
Carl Lawson - lots of head scratxhing

The Davis one is unnerving because we met with him so many times. From what I'm reading he could be long gone though. Let's hope.

I just don't see Lawson as a Round d 1 talent.

I know I keep seeing Rivers name but I can't believe he is in play at #30. I know we've spent alot of time with him but I think that's because we like him in round 2, if not 3. I don't even know if Rivers will be ready to make an impact this year.

Give me a S, CB or ready to go OLB.

 

We are of VERY similar mind. You saved me the trouble of typing.

 

Ray Fittipald has been mocking him to us. Had this to say about him:

I honestly havent looked a lot at this player, going by what he said and if accurate, I wouldn't hate the pick. You know who I prefer though at CB.

 

Ha! I forgot about the McCaffery discussions a few months ago. He seems solidified as a Top 20 pick, maybe Top 10 (I have him at #8 to the Panthers). I will admit I only watched a couple of his games, but he is a top talent, and I'm not sure if you pass on that kind of talent if he slides to #30.

Like SC NB says, Rivers has to be in consideration for Day 2. There's no way we take him at #30. God, I hope not....

 

The knock on him is that he's a terrible tackler. I watched 3 or 4 of his games, and I can say that I agree that his tackling wasn't all that hot, but I don't think it was any worse than I saw with Eli Apple last year. What he does do really well is press man coverage, and he can do it out of the slot or outside. If we do take him, he's an instant significant upgrade over Gay in the slot if we want to use man coverage. He'll stick to an Edelman or Hogan like glue.

 

I put White and Awuzie in the same category. Round 2 talent nickel corners. They are talented. I'm just not sure I want to burn a 1st round pick on a pure nickel corner. Then again, with Conley likely not being selected tomorrow, Adoree and the 2 Nickel guys could get pushed up.

Don't sleep on Cordrea Tankersley at #30. Eerily similar to Artie Burns. Would kind of have that surprise factor like Burns last year.

 

There's games of Rivers to be found but I don't find it great film in order to break down. My usual complaint with small school sleepers.

So I have to go on his production and Senior Bowl footage where he more or less dominated. I have reservations and I wold be more comfortable taking him in the 3rd round, but not sure he lasts that long.

 

Because Mike Mayock made me do it:

Add Jordan Willis to the list.

 

[

Yeah... that was silly as all hell. Take Willis, leave Peppers.

 

I still have respect for Mayock, but I felt he use to be better at what he does. Seems to be trying to sell excitement like so many others.

 

My issue with White is that he is a high floor, low ceiling player. He's a solid player. But I want to add a special player to our defense. White would make our defense better but wouldn't make it a championship calibre defense.

 

I think Peppers is a special player. I think Obi is a special athlete. I think either guy could help transform our defense into something special.

Unfortunately, I have issues with most of the edge rushers whether it's consistency, production, medical or character flaws. Not a guy I'm completely sold on at #30.

As I said White would be a solid nickel corner but I would rather a guy like Budda Baker. He can play FS or nickel corner and seems to make alot more impact in games than White.
