Official 2018 Draft Day Thread (NO SPOILERS!)

I guess it could be worse we could have taken a LS only to cut him.......

 

Equanimeous, Hercules or a NT next and I'm happy

 

So many strong safeties lmao

 

Oh... I see.


Ouch then.

 

As recently as late Feb, some mocks had us taking him in the 1st. To get him in the 5th is a steal

 

They should just have Edmunds gain 10 pounds, since they ignored the position.

 

The Steelers could be a natural fit; Pittsburgh needs safety depth, Allen has a long-standing relationship with general manager Kevin Colbert, and the Maryland native visited with his childhood team last week. Depending on what they do in the first round, Allen would also fit with the Seahawks, Panthers and Chargers.

 

Daggnapit, Browns drafted my guy Avery.

 

Cleveland takes Genard Avery

 

Which is exactly what it needed!

 

I actually like Marcus Allen. He, Ronnie Harrison, Kylie White, and Terrell Edmunds were all in the same group of guys I liked as strong safety prospects in the 3rd or later.

Hopefully we draft a free safety at some point. Damon Webb from Ohio St or maybe Quenton Meeks out of Stanford

 

probably another safety

 

A retired 58 year old is going to replace Bell?

 

Considering I had insufficient knowledge of Avery's injury, I retract my statement.


Marcus Allen is definitley a box safety who will likely see the field in conjunction with Edmunds; Edmunds playing the second linebacker as a sub while Allen is the Strong Safety.



Very good pick indeed. He was a late third round grade for me. Great value here.

 

Some guys I like that are still available:

ILB Micah Kiser

DT Tim Settle

WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling

WR Equanimious St. Brown

ILB Foye Oluokun

CB Dane Cruikshank

DE Hercules Mata'afa

WR Allen Lazard

DE Zach Seiler

 

I'm starting to think this may be the plan

 

yeah and upgrading it to in my opinion. I am excited to see what Edmunds can do. allen is solid too from what I see

 

After reading this I feel a little better, good vs the run I think we need some of that...

Bradley just called Allen fundamentally sound. Again reoccurring themes throughout the draft and free agency.

 

are people really complaining about taking 2 safeties?lol did you see our back end last year

 

Kiser gone right before us

 

It's not like he's much smaller than Shazier was when we picked him. I guess the question is can Jerry O and Joey P coach him up enough to transition.

 

How many box safeties do they need? They could use a single high type safety.
