Read it again.

I think I heard it on a podcast actually.

Brown in the 2nd round would make me go nuclear.   Guy is a 3rd and would be a serious reach there.  Karomah at 12 would be even worse.  That draft would be pretty bad. If we’re gonna draft a LB in the 1st.  It’s gonna be Parsons.  

To each their own.

You mistyped and wrote Smith again when you meant Pitts.

Sharing what you read, but you think you heard it on a podcast that Smith is a lock at 6.  Uhhh.   Ok.  🙃

Yeah, you've really got me backed into a corner now. 

When DeVonta goes at 6, you'll realize I wasn't "throwing things out there".

Pick a fight with someone else. You can't go a day in the blog without getting into an argument with someone.

And if you read the blog instead of just posting nonsense, you would have read that the Dolphins are probably not going to draft a player who opted out of the 2020 season in the first round.

Nothing wrong with voicing your opinion with conviction.

😂  Little sensitive are you?   I just call out nonsense when I see it.  You should be willing to defend your claim.  There are no "locks”.  
 

If I read the Blog.   That’s cute.  Again, how are you so sure of what the Dolphins are going to do?   Just admit you jumped the gun.  Sure they might be "targeting” him per the link you provided.   But "lock”?   Come on.   I’ll be willing to pump air back in your tires on draft night if they do pick him at 6.  If it’ll make you feel better.  

Dude, again, read. I never said it was a lock.

That is only 16 games.  No 17 games this season?

Looks like a 10 win season for phins , maybe 11

I think we are looking at one of Lance/Slater/Waddle/Surtain/Parsons/Paye/Rousseau at 12.

Devonta Smith has an outside chance of falling...not going for the 40 after weighing in at 170 is a huge red flag for the top 10.

Not that long ago, the Eagles would have rushed to the podium to draft Kwity Paye.  A senior DE with a big motor, smallish frame, good burst of the LOS, and great attitude is what they would dream about at night.

Does Kwity Paye have a smallish frame at 6 foot 4 272 pounds.  His 4.52 40 and 36 bench reps were impressive.

Paye has the height I think Gannon wants, not sure he's top 20 material.

I think Gannon wants to move toward the longer DL with the reach to get their hands up and disrupt underneath throws.

Only measured in at 6’2”, was listed at 6’4”

Those aren’t his actual measurements.

He seems to be a d-line player than can move across the line. Listening to a inside the birds podcast about what Gannon may do with the line is a lot of stunts and twists. I'm guessing, but I would think that fits Paye better than the strict D-ends in Gregory and Jalean. I'd be completely fine with Paye at 12. 

If a  team has the luxury of working with  , Oweh , and working him in slowly , he could be the steal of the draft  , he needs to go to a team who doesn’t need him to play max snaps right away .

just seeing Paye's 6-2  262 weigh in. That's..... Disappointing

Why are they strict edge guys ? Both have size and ability to move inside on passing downs

Collins is bigger than Paye , Collins is the best cover backer who can also  rush the passer , 34 olb written all over him

6’3 260

Penei Sewell has one full season playing LT at Oregon, sat out 2020 and everyone claims he's a can't miss, sure thing player.  Rousseau put up 15 sacks and some 19 TFL in 2019 and like Kyle Pitts, he's an athletic freak at 6-7 265.  Now that we are in the middle of round 1, I'm more than willing to take a chance on that.  

Chase Young as a senior had 16.5 sacks and all of the arguments were he had big games against bad teams.  6-5, 265 lb DE who had a freakish combine.  If Rousseau tests anywhere near what Young did I'm on board.

Today is March 26, I'm retiring my Kyle Pitts defense and starting up the Greg Rousseau talk.  I want weapons for Hurts.  I'd love Waddle.  I'm not touching Smith.  We could possibly even trade down 3-5 more slots and get Rousseau.

Once BG is done, We could have the steady Eddy in Derek Barnett and a freak in Rousseau with Sweat rotating in and another young guy to be added.  It's time for our defense to have legit playmakers and guys you need to account for.

 

The issue with Rousseau (in addition to the limited tape) is that he is extremely raw, too. He tends to speed rush at all times and doesn't have a lot of technique. You can get away with it in college, you aren't going to in the NFL. He sometimes struggles with the run for a guy that size.

He certainly has the tools. He's an athletic monster, but he's also extremely raw and needs to seriously work on his technique. The potential is there, but he's more of a project. He also needs to fill out more. Too risky at 12, but a second trade down in the first and then grabbing him? I'd be fine with it.

Yeah, I think there will be plenty of good players with high upside that are less risky than Rousseau at 12. Every player has risk in their profile, but his is a little too high. 

Reagor/Waddle outside, JJAW transitioning to the slot and competing there with Watkins.  There would be growing pains, but that fits the mold the NFL wants.

From your list, I would like any of the above to become Eagles next month (Tremble assuming Ertz is traded).

Other non-R1 prospects I like for the Eagles:-

LB Jamin Davis, Jabril Cox
DB Trill Williams,
DL Dayvion Nixon,
WR/Returner Jaelon Darden,
OL Royce Newman, D'Ante Smith, 
RB Rhamondre Stevenson

Howie did a nice job with the talent distribution of the draft, give him that.

#6 was likely to be the first pick after the drop-off.  Pitts/Chase/Smith...those are not talents you should feel good about drafting at #6.

#12?  If any of those 3 fall, Waddle, if Lance falls, maybe even Surtain/Rousseau/Parsons....you can feel good about that kind of talent at 12.

Nobody knows where talent drops off , it’s speculation 

Every year you have prospects come out of nowhere, and more often than not , the so called top talent , flops

With the Kwitty Paye talk starting up I'm beginning to see 2010 all over again.

Paye, coincidentally, played at UM and is almost identical physically to BG when he came out. at 6-2 260. 

BG was the safe, conventional DE pick in the draft.  Steady player who you knew what you were getting.

Jason Pierre-Paul was the 6-5 270 lb freak athlete who was a gamble but his upside was tremendous.  

Looking at their careers it's easy to argue that JPP is the more dominant DE and bigger threat as a pass rusher.  No denying what BG has brought to the team as a player/teammate/leader and of course the strip sack.

However, in 6 less games, JPP has nearly 100 more tackles, almost 40 more QB hits and 30 more sacks than BG.  I want that kind of production and I think Rousseau has that potential.
