Re: Jer’zhan Newton

Great input..started watching and reading some stuff on him.

I’ve seen a lot of drafts having him go after 25…I see a much better player on tape. Aaron Donald, no. That said, he could be a poor man’s Donald and I’d be happy with that. Especially when you factor in what we can get in a trade down.

Jer’zhan Newton

I saw he had his pro day yesterday and Bears were in attendance. From the outside looking in, he looks like a perfect fit for our defense. 6-2, 300lbs of solid muscle, crazy twitch and explosion. That said, I have not really watched much on him. From the mocks I’ve seen, I’m seeing him go late 1, th...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

I went back and looked and Verse was considered a lock to go top 10 and in some cases, top 7. Top 5…probably not lol

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

I like verse a lot, more so than Latu because he hasn’t medically retired from football recently. Plus I think you can trade down into the 12-15 range, get an extra bite or two, and still get him. The question becomes though, why is Verse the same age as Latu? Latu missed two years of football beca...

Welcome to the Verse bandwagon…

If Poles is sitting there and think Turner has the mental makeup to hit his potential, I’m on board. That said, I feel like Verses floor is pretty high.

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

Verse is 23, when he turns 24 other rookies will be 22..It matters, but how much might be exaggerated.

Also, look at his 2022 tape. If he came out last year he probably would have been a top 5 pick. Drafting him now, could be viewed as him being even more prepared to start and contribute immediately

Re: Draft Prospects: WR

IMO, there’s Nabors and MHJ then everyone else. I think Rome, Conky, and others are getting overvalued in large part, because of the depth at WR in this years draft.

Don’t be shocked if really good WRs are on the board into the late 3rd …Pearsal, Conkey, and maybe even Coleman

Most of my draft ideas have been (as of late) trading down from #9 to get Latu - So fully on board there.

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

Agreed on Turner..I see flashes where he reminds me of Suggs but then I see a red flag with his instincts Love Verse but is he special or good I don’t know about Latu…love his pass rush moves but I think once OTs get their hands on him he’s gonna be toast at the next level Nabors or Harrison for me..
