2017 Draft Prospects

Wasn't last year the first time Morgan got hurt other than his rookie year? It's football. Sometimes guys get hurt.

I'm all for adding another pass rusher because I think our two starters are above average, but Morgan's injuries don't bother me.

 

You could throw Josh Malone in that category too. He'd need a big year to come out early, but the talent is there.

Too bad Butch has made Dobbs into the third-best RB on the team instead of letting him throw the ball.

 

wow, Fry said something nice about Morgan after 5 years of service

youve finally come around

 

Yeah and he missed a game or two here in 2011 and 2013. I understand they get hurt but still 20 games in five years. Most occurring over 2 yrs but it's still a reason for caution. Orakpo's pec will always scare me.

I'm still not gonna pass on Myles Garrett if he's there just because it might not be a position of need.

 

Lol.

Apparently above average is a compliment these days.

 

I got bored last night and started to watch some of the 2017 prospects. I'll take an early ride on the Jake Butt bandwagon.

 

The name alone....He will fail lol...Jk

 

I like Jake, but we have a bigger needs at several positions...CB, ILB, OLB, for starters.

How are you rating Desmond King, Tabor, Adoree' Jackson, Peppers (you see him as a CB?), Humphrey, and Tradavious White?

How about EDGE players like Garrett, Lawson, Tim Williams, Fields, Barnett, and Anderson?

ILB's? Reeves-Maybin, Beckwith, McMillan, Davis, and Foster?

Man, it's frustrating to look at how LOADED RB is gonna be next year. I will be unhappy if Henry doesn't look like the next EG!!!

 

I haven't gotten to DBs in any sort of depth yet. I do like Peppers in the Polamalu role the same way I liked Ramsey though.

Myles Garrett has a special first step. Fields looks like Von Miller, but those off-field issues... Barnett needs to play stouter against the run. I watched him against Northwestern and he was absolutely engulfed in the running game. Great hustle though.

I haven't studied any of them yet, but I do watch a decent amount of UT football and Reeves-Maybin does nothing but pop off the screen.

I feel your pain, although I have cooled on Royce Freeman. He doesn't have much burst or long speed and seems to play at one speed. 3rd round pick.

 

The Butt Wagon, eh?
