With how replaceable the majority, vast majority, of our roster is a players scheme shouldn't even be looked at. Expecally with out coaching staff in the air.
If you want Green, you probably have to take him at #8 and go from there
I believe Zion Johnson has stated his intention to stay.
Zion Johnson is on the Senior Bowl National team's roster.
You may be confusing Johnson with OT Zion Nelson , who is returning to Miami.
I'm liking Kenyon Green too - has played up and down the line except for C:-
I am appreciating Jeremiah's comments on these guys - when you get the time, do yourself a favor and read through the list. Only takes about 20 minutes.
Also, clicking the link in the prospects name takes you to Lance Zierlein's write up. Here's the link for Aidan Hutchinson.
How many writeups has LZ done.
It's not linked yet. I've heard him say that he's not finished. I would assume prior to the combine.
thedraftnetwork.com
Lance's highest rated prospect in the 2022 draft is Kyle Hamilton (6.88). Hamilton's ranking would land him as the #7 prospect in Zierlein's 2021 rankings.
Also, having #3 and #4 overall gives Caserio the luxury of back to back picks and he can take the best QB in the draft with one of them.
He is a monster especially in run game but could be a very good pass blocker also. I would give Howard the opportunity at LT but IF Ekwonu drafted, he would be amazing LG who be LT if Howard not what I think. He and Salyer would bring a lot to this line.
yes but would ask but not hold out long for 2023 round 1 also.
I would attempt trade to Panthers #3 for 1.6 and Brian Burns who I have rated at 1.31 600 points. 1.4 Hamilton 1.6 Okwonu and I roll another season with Mills.
not for me. HC should not have much to do with next draft IMO mostly Caserio and probably Lovie and Pep if both still here.
I thought about that, but the idea of jettisoning Watson and be done with this for some high valuable picks in this rebuild would be ideal.
nah.. Zac Wilson is a disaster, Jets could say no to another round one but not end negotiations. They will know other teams will want DW. Caserio is either a good poker player or not and it's time to find out. It would not be a bluff against the table just trying to pump up the jam. You ask and then play your gut when to take the offer. Heck NYJ could say no to another round one but we will give you a round 2. I don't think Nick has a rep for being greedy so other teams will know he is trying to get a good offer. None should be offended.
In a heartbeat
My perfect RD1 with your parameters would be,
Agreed about fixing the offense. However this draft is much stronger on the defensive side of he ball. IMHO
As OT said, trade Derrick for picks. See above.
Assuming that we don’t trade back, I agree with you that’ll be edge or Hamilton. Although there’s chatter going around about Thib dropping out of the top 5, I don’t know if I believe it.
If it was me, I fix the OL early in the draft and start looking at guys like Malone and Jesse Luketa as pass rushers later in the draft. My pick at #3 is either Neal or Ekwonu. Both of those guys are badazzez and have higher upsides with less injury issues then either Hutch or Thibs. In fact I like Jermaine Johnson as much as I do Thibs or Hutch.
Draft either Ekwonu or Neal in Rd.1 and Salyer in rd.2 and this will change.
Sincere McCormick from UTSA
I like him as a later rd pick. Like the 6th. He's in a group of Chandler/Ingram/Corbin/McCormick for me. These guys are all talented and one of them should be available.
Thanks HOF'er Alex Gibbs. RIP
If Lovie can get Rod Marinelli to Houston I expect Greenard and maybe another DL not on the team yet (or possibly Martin) will be 10+ sack/season players.
Either Winfrey or Jones would help stock up our interior and improve our run defense.
The latest mock draft on ESPN has the Jags drafting Neal, but it is the Jags, they'll probably screw it up.
In your opinion. I'm not a fan of Scharping, and not a big fan of Britt either. With a full conversion to the ZBS, I can see Morrissey becoming a long time starter at Center. I would still bring in Tyler Linderbaum to compete with him though. Bring in Cordell Volson to compete at one of the OG spots, and Penning to compete at one of the OT spots, and I think our line is fixed. All of that is even with trading Duane Brown, I mean Laremy Tunsil, for more picks. The fewer picks we have to dedicate to rebuilding the whole OLine, the more we can use on other needed positions.
Don't spend anymore $ on Martin. He's a pipe dream. Martin got 61% of the snaps and could only generate 4 sacks. Mercilus got 3 sacks in 11 fewer games.
My opinion is based on the last 2 years of OL play including a 2.0 yds per carry and struggling in pass pro.
Give me Ekwonu or a trade down then
Like I said before....Neal doesn't fit in my plan. Kenyon Green doesn't really fit either. I like Green, but he is more a fit for what you want. If we stay with the same offense we've been running for the last few years, Neal and Green would be good fits. However, you would need 3 or 4 Greens to replace the whole interior Oline. By a complete switch to a ZBS, we don't need the big bruisers that you want. Linderbaum wouldn't fit in that scheme either, but he would fit with what I want to do.
I just did a Mock featuring the Tunsil trade exclusively to the Bengals. I’d be moving Howard to LT for the 2022 season. I’d be drafting LG- Zion Johnson in RD2, RT- Andrew Stueber in RD3, and RG- Cade Mays in RD4. All 3 guys are road-graders who play their respective spots with a nasty streak and a desire to finish the job.
I don't see McCray and Taylor coming back.
McCray is under contract in 2022 and Taylor is an UFA in 2022.
I'm actually expecting an injury settlement for McCray.
That’s if we’re able to trade DW for an additional 1st this year. Although for the right guy, I’d consider trading away a future 1st and 37.
