Poll up. Running until tomorrow morningish at latest. Get those picks in!

I can't believe there's no love for malik lol. I got shot down for saying 3T wasn't a huge need and now one of my top 15 prospects is sitting at 33 and no one's going crazy

Not nominating anyone. Just throwing out a couple names of players who are available and will likely go in this range. The tough part of these kind of drafts is keeping track of who is available and who has been taken.

TJ Watt
Charles Harris
Jordon Willis
Caleb Brantley
Sydney Jones

I nominate Caleb Brantley. Surprised that he is still available...

Taco Charlton is also still there...

This draft is as rich with defensive talent from every position as I have ever seen and with all our picks I hope we take advantage of it ... JMHO

I'm all for loading up on DBs

Question CHS as we have so many picks what do you guys think about a trade up? We have 2 late 2nds, extra picks later and I'm not certain the safety we need will be there(the poll looks like we are going cb now at 33).

White.

I think at safety, from the options left we have:

Melifonwu
King
Williams
Maye

I like the first 3 over Maye. However looking at other players still available:

DT Brantley, Adams, McDowell
OL Feeney - I know we invested in free agency but he's going to be good
OL Dawkins - we've shown interest
WR Jones, Kupp, Schuster
LB Watt, Jarrad Davis
CB Quincy Wilson, Awuzie, Tabor and Sidney Jones

That's just off the top of my head. Lots of talent left. Take BPA.

White- I feel like he could come in a start and provide some of that LSU swagger/attitude to go along w/ Gregg Williams tone

Brantley- Not sure if reaching here but I would really want to add a 3-tech to round out the front 7

Williams- Center field FS that imo is flying under the radar

Obi- long defender with speed that can cover RBs, WRs & TE, doesn't hit with the pop I like but doesn't miss a bunch of tackles either
for me though its his ability to cover different positions that is his calling card

tabor might be an option too

My other thought is truly if you would have asked me three weeks ago I would say the most talented player left is clearly Malik McDowell.

We're not privy to what actually happened at the combine and how is interviews went but the rumors and the talk suggests that does something off the field with him.

I have no idea if that's correct or not could be a hundred percent true could be or could be 100% false.

So being that we don't know or I don't know at least I'm not going to hold that against him and go with what I see on film and based on that film McDowell to me is the highest rated player on the board.

But the next question is scheme fit his profile is that of the Prototype five technique. But comma I've always thought that if you are a good coordinator then you find a place in your defense for a good player. So I've been bouncing around in my mind different ways that you could use McDowell with in a 4-3 and different things that Greg Williams has done as far as playing a bigger base defensive end and using a player like Myles Garrett or old but as a pass-rushing outside linebacker. But then I just realized that I don't have to figure it out I just have to provide the player as a GM.

Sorry for the stream-of-consciousness Rambo I'm using voice to text

Oh also do we mirror real transaction?

nfl.com:

Philadelphia has acquired defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan and the No. 99 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft from Baltimore in exchange for the draft's No. 74 overall selection, the two teams announced Tuesday.

i woulda traded for jernigan

Guys I had a typo in my trade information. The pick Miami sent to the Jets in he talks third round was 104 (acquire some from KC in my first trade down), not 107. The Jets already owned 107. THe Jets should be in possession of both 104 and 107.

Sorry. Too late to fix it.

Second Round is on the way.

The Vikings are looking to move up.

The Bears have selected Marcus Williams, FS Utah with the 36th pick. He was a targeted player before the draft commenced. Admittedly a "need" pick but also very close to BPA. TJ Watt was also seriously considered for this pick...

I also considered Watt. But went with Taco.

Because everyone loves tacos.

I assume this can be sorted? Not sure if the reply immediately after was to this or not

With the 34th pick in the 2017 Dawgtalkers Mock Draft,

The Miami Dolphins select Malik McDowell, Defensive Tackle, Michigan State



The Dolphins were abysmal against the run last year and are looking to get better up front. Early in the season, McDowell showed the ability to penetrate and stop the run. Pro Football Focus credited him with 11 run stops in his first four games this season, to go along with 18 pressures in that same span. Questions about his effort and attitude have resulted in this fall, but the potential is there.

With the 37th pick in the 2017 Dawgtalkers Mock Draft,

The Los Angeles Rams select Antonio Garcia, Offensive Line, Troy



The Rams have been unable to field a decent offensive line for more than a decade, but it hasn't been for lack of trying. Once again, they've committed significant resources to the OL, signing 34 year old Andrew Whitworth to a three year deal worth eight figures annually. Here, they add Garcia, the small school left tackle out of Troy.

In one game, a dominant performance against a ferocious Clemson defense, Antonio Garcia proved he had the skills to play with the big boys, displaying true left tackle feet and a sturdy base. The Rams envision their draftee as a left guard year one, then swapping places with the aging Whitworth once he shows signs of slowing down.

This is an easy fix... just change the owner on the google sheet of pick 104 from Miami to the Jets. Everything else is correct.

Solid pick. One of the best S in the draft imo.

Any comment?

What say the mob?

This going through. I just haven't updated the spreadsheet yet. Real life trades should mirror this to the best of our ability.

Adams, SS in the 1st and Williams, FS in the 2nd along with 2 CB's signed in FA, has hopefully addressed the Bears porous secondary from 2016...

wow, yeah that's a big commitment to the secondary

When you've got Aaron Rodgers in your division. Need to upgrade the pass rush (not too bad currently), but can't fix everything in one go...

Is this the new trend - 3 safties on the field at the same time?

New Orleans now has SS Vaccaro, FS Bell, and FS Baker and now Chicago has S Amos, SS Adams, and FS Williams plus S Quinton Demps and 2 guys they drafted last year.

good point

Can someone update the sheet to reflect the Jets own 104 please? Thanks!

drobs, if it doesn't get updated soon I'll re-trade it to you for an authentic game-worn Geno Smith jersey.

(Actually they drafted 3 DB's last year, but 3rd day picks with limited potential). Demps is a keeper but a major upgrade in talent was required thus the acquisition of FA CB's Cooper and Amukamara and the drafting of 2 Safeties. The Bears should have a stout secondary...

Miami has their pick ready pending responses from two trades solicited by other teams.

I don't know if its new.

Redskins used to do this back when they had Blache/Gregg Williams.

They used a "big nickel" package of 3 Safeties and called it Cobra. I know the Giants used it sometimes also. This was around 2012.

I envision Jabril Peppers in that spot

I was just talking about the Safties. They drafted Deon Bush in the 4th rnd and DeAndre Houston-Carson in the 6th rnd last year to go along with the recently signed Demps and Adrian Amos their 5th rnd pick from 2015 who has developed into a real good player.

In case he is still on the board, and with back-to-back picks coming up, I would again like to nominate Obi-wu (Kenobi ). (I really like the kid)
