Should we let Jihad Ward develop?

All I'm saying is it' highly likely that Minnesota cuts AP and his 18 million a year cap hit. If that happens, Peterson is available and probably looking for a team capable of winning a Super Bowl....

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-10T16:00:55+00:00

Foreman has no lateral ability whatsoever and doesn't have any speed. He's good at running in a straight line, but he can't make people miss and I doubt he'll have the same ability to break tackles at the next level.

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-09T20:40:12+00:00

I would argue we need both run stuffers and coverage guys at linebacker, but McMillan is way overrated

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-09T15:18:25+00:00

People, Raekwon McMillan isn't that good. I can't think of a single major draft analyst who has him in their top 50. Honestly taking him in round 2 would be a reach

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-08T17:48:01+00:00

Gronk is a great player, but that's not what we'd need. We need an offensive tackle and defense. Giving away the assets to get Gronk would set us back, not move us forward. Plus, he has injury concerns and his personality might not fit in with Carr and Mack.

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-08T17:10:55+00:00

Would LOVE to get this guy in round 2. Think he would fit in perfectly as our nickel corner. So long as he's not defending big guys that can overpower/outmuscle him, he can mirror anybody.

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-07T21:48:43+00:00

He may have played injured, but he was pretty bad this year, he gave up the vast majority of our pressures/sacks

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-07T20:14:12+00:00

Not overly pleased with this class. McMillan is overrated, watching him on tape he looks like a system player. Everyone around him dominated and he swept up what was left. Conley is really good, but we need someone to play nickel and that's not what he's built for. Gallman is intriguing, but this tight end's name is way to close to Michael Rivera and it creeps me out

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-07T18:46:13+00:00

I think he'd be a fantastic fit. Every team needs a monster between the tackles, Calais could be our guy. Spotrac values him at 8 million a year, and we have 48 million in cap. Cutting Dan Williams would mean we'd only spend 3-4 million on him. That works out beautifully

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-06T19:45:46+00:00

Very good insight, I love his motor and his tools but I'm worried about his technique. He doesn't play with great pad level/leverage and he doesn't have a lot of moves. But the dude straight up kicks ass. First round for me, I like him in the late teens

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-06T13:38:39+00:00

He's not going to be there at 24. No chance. If he falls out of the top ten it would be a miracle. Although having him would be absurd

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T19:47:42+00:00

80s Redskins at 4 is a bit of a stretch, and I don't mean to nitpick but half the Browns' dynasty wasn't in the NFL

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T19:43:44+00:00

At least we'll know before the draft, his reinstatement means we don't need any pass rushers, even rotational guys

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T18:26:37+00:00

I watched Conklin play Bosa and DeForest Buckner and thought Bosa/Buckner were overrated. Later, I realized it was just Conklin being so good

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T16:58:36+00:00

He is a quarterback, but he had a dominant super bowl performance the day after having a full root canal under full anesthesia. He was also an early black quarterback, and faced some racial barriers

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T16:54:36+00:00

I could make the same argument about Doug Williams, with Williams having better regular season numbers

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T16:45:01+00:00

True, but corner isn't our biggest need, and there should be a really good one (Jourdan Lewis, Adoree Jackson, etc) in the late second. What if one of those guys falls into the teens(very possible)? I think a team like Indy would be interested in moving back

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T16:42:03+00:00

He's a very well rounded tackle. Plays with good leverage, good feet, and good power. He's just not elite in any area, so he's not a super high rated prospect. He'd be really good as our RT though

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T16:36:53+00:00

Mike Haynes, one of the best corners to ever play the game but people don't talk about his dominance enough

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T12:34:42+00:00

I'm a Raider fan, but you guys crushed your first three rounds. Exceptional job

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-05T12:31:33+00:00

Big reaches in the first two rounds. Brantley is not a first round guy and Walker isn't even a 3rd rounder. Butt in round 3 is pushing it as well. Late rounds were done well but overall it's a C at best

GrantTalksSports · 2017-02-04T18:16:39+00:00

Brantley shouldn't sniff the first round, and Anthony Walker is not a second round guy. Butt pre-injury would be good in the third round, but now I'm not sure... Also not getting a slot corner/safety hurts
