Cyrus Kouandijo, Tre Mason, and Will Sutton. Wouldn't complain. I hope we sign an FA LT. Then we can get either a TE if available or another DT like Aaron Donald.

 

Good lord. He has 3 UF cornerbacks in the first 3 rounds? Or is that a typo and one of them is from FSU or something? That's insane

 

I'd sign up for that.

 

All three are from Florida. Florida's defense was never really the problem. It was always the offense mostly. I can't believe they didn't have Dominique Easley in the first three rounds. Wow

 

They're all pretty solid, Loucheiz Purifoy, Marcus Roberson, and Jaylen Watkins. I charted all the way through Purifoy and he actually had some really positive stats between burn rate, passes defensed - better than I expected. I don't know much about Watkins, but a lot of people were talking about him at the Senior Bowl.

I think Vernon Hargreaves III who was a true freshman this year at UF was/is better than all of them.

Edit: In other words I have no clue how to spell "Loucheiz" consistently

 

From where I've seen Purifoy mocked in drafts Early 2nd mostly,I have him as overrated, I think he's gonna get worked at the next level for big plays, doesn't have the strength or physicality to match up well with #1 and 2's, special teams play may jump his stock a bit but I wouldn't trust the guy in coverage or to take NFL receivers to the ground..he's no Brandon flowers comin out of v tech.

 

I wouldn't be quite this hard on Purifoy. He wasn't always a great tackler, but he did always seem to be a willing tackler. His best attribute which scouts love is his recovery speed. He was always making a ton of plays on special teams and made some plays on defense. I wouldn't want the Dolphins to draft him but there worst prospects to draft.

 

I saw the scouts talking about him too. I honestly just think he is average-slightly above average corner who got hurt a lot at Florida. I personally wouldn't be a fan of this pick. I think Purifoy and Roberson both are solid. They both have different strengths and weaknesses.


I agree on VH3

 

I think this phenomenon in and of itself is a red flag though. When you have four corners producing good numbers on the same defense then there's something systemic going on that is helping them. The chances are very slim that they have four NFL starters in one cornerback unit, and the fact that we can distinguish via tape study that Hargreaves is the most talented of the four also tells us that there may be something systemic affecting the charts of the other three.

 

I agree with this completely. I don't know a ton about Sutton, so I can't really comment, but Kouandijo seems like a solid pick at 19, and Mason would be great with our 2nd pick. I too would like to see them sign a LT in FA though, so they don't need to take one in the 1st round. Even if they do, they still could take Kouandijo and play him at RT potentially.

I'd love a TE like Ebron or Amaro; or Donald at 19 though.

 

Have read that Koundajiao has lots of holes in his game, and from a physical talent standpoint, is this a case of "OL sucked=Take a Flawed OL w/a #1 pick to on paper fill one hole?"

 

Skeet you yourself is saying that he's slightly above average, and you wouldn't want to draft him but your telling me I'm being to hard on him saying he's overrated relative to predraft projections which is about mid 2nd round.?

The guy doesn't have a lot of core strength, that's not gonna cut it at the next level..he also has other flaws..he's got strange reactionary instincts, He almost prefers to give his man a cushion using that recovery speed you mention waaaay to often..I don't like his game..but I'm pretty sure he do well at the combine in his drills..hopefully some one takes him before our 2nd round pick, which I think is to high for the player.

 

I was referring to Jaylen Watkins when I said slightly above average. I don't want the Dolphins to draft a CB in the 1st if we can resign Grimes. I still think you being hard on him but you don't sound like someone giving him a mid 2nd round grade.

 

I'm not giving him a mid 2nd round grade,thats where I see him projected most by the pundits.

 

Well I disagree with your assessment.

 

right on skeeter, where do you think his talent deserves to go in this draft?

 

I would say 2nd round - Early 3rd round.
