6. Pitts, Sewell, Chase 18. Parsons, Paye, Smith, Waddle, Harris 36. Harris, Etienne, Toney, Bateman, J. Williams, R. Moore 50. J. Williams, R. Moore Those are the players I really like us to draft. My preference/wish probably would be Pitts, Parsons/Paye, Harris, Moore but I would be fine with most combinations you can form out of the names above.
6. Chase, Pitts or Parsons 18. Zaven Collins/Jason Oweh(assuming we go WR/TE) 36. Etienne 50. Humphrey
Yeah, he’s a stud and it would be great if we could get him in 3. I love Collins size, athleticism and that he’s good in coverage and getting to the QB. Bottom line is we need to do a better job guarding TE’s, especially with the moves NE made this off-season
1a Chase, Pitts (because of his poor blocking), Parsons. 1b. Darrisaw, J Phillips, Paye 2a. Moehrig, T Marshall, Javonte Williams 2b. Besham, C Humphrey, E Moore
I think we definitely need an upgrade at S. Both of them graded in the bottom quartile of all starting safeties. Has anyone seen/heard/said anything about Noah I moving to S?
Not that sure that Flores' scheme really prioritizes the safety position, and as such it's dubious that we spend a high pick on one. Hopefully Brandon Jones can improve along with the rest of our young core. Worth noting as well that Byron Jones has played safety, and well. However, that's a BIG contract for a safety, but maybe he will kind of play a hybrid role. #6: Chase/Pitts (though we absolutely cannot discount the Bama guys) #18: Najee. If he's off the board, maybe Jason Oweh or Joseph Ossai or Zaven Collins. #36: Creed Humphrey #50: Another WR, probably complimentary to our pick at 6. If we took a bigger guy like Chase/Pitts, then a Moore/Atwell/Eskridge. If we take a smaller guy like the Bama 2, then a bigger WR like Terrance Marshall.
Something has to be done at safety if they decide to cut McCain. They could be planning to switch Justin Coleman to safety or have Coleman play snaps at slot and safety. Flores likes versatility with his DB’s and Coleman may have been signed with this in mind. Needham was excellent in slot man coverage by the end of last year and should be used there a lot.
