NFL: 2018 NFL draft prospects thread

[Voight]

Sources: Rosen prefers Giants over Browns

Right when it seems Eli's time is done with them, they have the 2004 draft all over again.

Browns might have two top five picks this year. I feel like we've said this before but it'd hard for even them to screw this up.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

And if the 49ers win they might end up out of the top 10. Quenton Nelson or Harold Landry or Jaire Alexander please.

Shot at the Browns?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Nah. I just don't think he cares where he gets drafted. Josh Rosen is an interesting cat.

So if Rosen pulls a Tony Dorsett on the Browns and no other QBs raise their stock enough do they lay up and pick Darnold or is the pressure to pick a QB too intense for them to even wait until #4? I don't see any reason for the Giants to deal.

Doomsday scenario: Rosen holds out and Darnold stays in school.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Darnold is most likely staying in school.

Texas Tech WR Keke Coutee declares. Had a monster year. Tyreek Hill type.

He had a huge bowl game against USF. I know bowl game performances are overrated, but a lot of people tend to judge bowl game performances like they're the end of the world.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He was great all year. Auden Tate is another receiver who will be a steal. 6'5" 225 with strong hands. If he puts up + marks in athleticism, he'll rise.

If Rosen is the top guy on the Browns board then they should just take him.

I'll be very disappointed if Barkley ends up going to Cleveland. Also, I wonder if anyone will pick up McSorley in the draft.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

McSorley is a junior and probably a UDFA type.

Josh Allen should go to the Senior Bowl. He'd finally get a chance to play with better talent and even if he hurt his stock there, he's going to get a boost at the combine.

I know that this shouldn't matter as much as it should, but NFL people love QBs that play in "pro style offenses". I'm pretty sure that Wyoming didn't run a spread offense. I think there's enough good tape on Allen that he doesn't need the Senior Bowl. It's not his fault that the talent around him wasn't as good as the other top QBs.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Draft media is higher on Allen than actual NFL personnel guys. He's a day 3 project like Logan Thomas or Cardale Jones. His tape is pretty ugly and he's an awkward athlete.

I didn't watch much of Wyoming. How many of his picks were forced throws? Or how many were due to his receivers not being very good? He did take a step back this year from last, but that's probably due to Wyoming losing a lot from last year. But still, even with those guys, his numbers last year weren't that great. But I can see why the media likes him.

Personally, I think he's a huge wild card, but I think he has a lot of upside.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He had one of the lowest drop rates in college football at 4.8%. The lowest among draft eligible QB's. He has over 600 attempts and is under 57% completion percentage. That's Kyle Boller and Ryan Linsley category. He can make plays out of structure but struggles with processing, accuracy and pocket movement. If he manages to hit, he'd be a major outlier.

I don't get Darnold hype

He certainly is not a guy I would invest a top 5 pick which is when I expect Browns will select him

Ohio State DE Hubbard to enter NFL draft

 

[GKJ]

The thing about Darnold is that someone in his braintrust has to be wondering about him pulling a Matt Barkley.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Darnold is so young that he needs another year.

 

[MMC]

Any chance the Browns might trade up with the Houston pick to 2 or 3?

 

[MMC]

@Gene Parmesan who is your #1 for 2019?

 

[HoseEmDown]

Any chance the Browns might trade up with the Houston pick to 2 or 3?

For who? I think they should trade back from 4. Take the best QB you rate a 1 then move from 4 to 6-8 and get Ridley, need someone to make plays especially when you can't trust Gordon.
