NFL: 2018 NFL draft prospects thread

[Gene Parmesan]

They were mentioning on the commentary that Vea was consistently taking on two to three offensive linemen at a time and that they would also use him at defensive end to rush the quarterback as well. I really hope that Vea ends up in Washington. He and Jonathan Allen could be a lot of fun.

He's not a pass rusher at all so I'd put that out of your mind. I think Harrison Phillips is a better fit for what Washington likes to do. Taven Bryan as well.

Lorenzo Carter with a 4.46 at 6'4" 252.

Shaquiem Griffin with a 4.38. Ridiculous.

So impressive.

Some of these LBs are really moving out there.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

This is probably the best group of off ball linebackers in years.

These dudes are moving.

The 40 times are nice but the movement drills matter more.

How does this work with Griffin in the NFL? Does he get to use a prosthetic hand?

He'll probably do what he did in college and just tape the hand up. What a performance at the combine though. Griffin has been fabulous. I have to think that he has at least got himself into the day 2 conversation of where he can go.

Mike Mayock talking about the schedule is great

I didn't think he looked as smooth in the first two drills but apparently he was cramping up a bit. He looked good moving around in the last one though.

Al Davis commences rolling over in his grave.

Except Al drafted athletes not just straight line speed guys.

Evolution of the position given the increase in pass catching TE. These LBs today have to be able to cover TE and RB when they split out wide.

He's a good athlete. Could carve out a Dakoda Watson role.

Or instead of being running backs and tight ends, they'd rather play LB.

 

[InjuredChoker]

chubb really disappointed in the agility drills.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I don't think it'll hurt Chubb because he's always been a technique over athleticism type but you'd like to see better 3 cones and shuttle times.

I want Shaquem Griffin on the Rams.

People need to pump the brakes on Griffin a bit. He has a future as a situational pass rusher and special teamer. I wouldn't pick him until day 3.

I would agree. He's showing amazing at the combine and has heart, which is what team's covet. But, he's a Day 3 draft pick since he would be a special teams and situational player. Day 1 & 2 picks are expected to be contributors right away and get in more than half of the snaps.

Well let's be real. His missing hand is a big issue in coverage and in the run game.

Harold Landry..be a 49er. Him or Tremaine Edmunds.

Something doesn’t seem right about drafting D-Line in 4 straight first rounds.

Well, your loss. Tape doesn't lie. If he had a second hand, he'd be a guaranteed first round pick.
