DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2019 NFL Season 2019 NFL Draft Your pick and how do we get there.

If Collins gets his release and I think he will, the cap savings would help in the pursuit of Richardson. The PD article by Jake Buns says that his production was in the neighborhood of Grady Jarett. He should cost less than Jarett. I'd like that addition to the roster.

I feel we need more help on the D side than O. I don't know who will be there at # 17 because of trades, surprise picks by other teams etc. I don't know how our needs will change because we don't know who we will sign in FA. However, if I was making the decisions I would strengthen the D first. The more time Baker is on the field the better it is for us. He knows what he is doing, can certainly run the O and has good weapons. If we can get him a better O-lineman to protect or another good weapon at WR I'm all for it. We already got one at RB with KH but I would make the D a priority.

CB would that be Byron Murphy not Mullen? He is fast. But Greedy is going to come off first I think just as fast and 6'2" making him rare. 2nd season with off season conditioning will add some muscle to Greedy and get him thicker and maybe faster.

Yeah, my bad....Byron Murphy, guess I had Trayvon Mullen on the brain too lol

Agree 100%.

If Devin White is on the board at #17 run the card to the Commissioner as fast as you can ...

He's a freak. Moves like a guided missile, going sideline to sideline, with instincts to match. Somehow, the great defenses always have that super-human LB with a motor that won't quit. Looks like a good start for the Browns but I feel like we would definitely have to move up.

Certainly reads like a transcendent pick at Walter Football...

Devin White*, ILB, LSU
Height: 6-2. Weight: 236.
Projected 40 Time: 4.64.
Projected Round (2019): Top-16.

2/16/19: White is your quintessential linebacker who is a physical force against the run, covers ground in pass defense, and is a team leader who sets the tone for a violent, intimidating defense. White is worthy of being a top-16 pick in any draft class because he looks like a future difference-maker as a three-down starter in the NFL. He is a good fit for either a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense. White should be a starter quickly in his NFL career and could be a Pro Bowler early on.

White totaled 123 tackles with 12 for a loss, six passes broken up, three sacks and three forced fumbles in 2018. The junior was rock solid for LSU, showing excellent run-defense skills with the ability to contribute in coverage. White is also effective at generating pass pressure when blitzing. He is extremely instinctive and has a big-time presence.

8/29/18: White had an excellent 2017 season, totaling 133 tackles with 14 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, three passes broken up and one interception. White didn't get the attention of other SEC linebackers like Roquan Smith and Rashaan Evans, first-round picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, but that could easily change this fall. Here is how one of the National scouts summarized White.

"This kid could end up being similar to Ray Lewis. I'd take White over any of the linebackers this year. He's unbelievable. Unless he gets hurt or completely shuts it down to protect himself, he'll be the first linebacker drafted next year. He's the complete package. Great character. He's the signal-caller of the defense with a super football IQ. He's big, sturdy, and stout enough for Mike - middle linebacker; swift enough for Will - weakside linebacker -, great athlete and coverage instincts. Stacks up the stat boxes, all of them. He's fast, an explosive tackler, and [has] elite reactionary quickness.

"Right now, he's among the best, and maybe the best, I've scouted. Better athlete and versatility than [Dont'a] Hightower. More explosive, violent, and bigger than C.J. Mosley; same level of instincts. Better than Jerod Mayo at Tennessee. Bigger than Jonathan Vilma while being more violent and instinctive than D.J. Williams, same kind of freak athlete explosiveness-wise. [A] thumper like Sean Weatherspoon. Basically, he's a bigger version of Roquan Smith in the 240-250-pound range. He's FUN to watch. Unbelievable stamina and motor. He could be the best linebacker ever to come out of LSU."

My top 5 guys for pick 17:

1. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
2. Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
3. Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson
4. Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson
5. DK Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss

If none of these guys are on the board, then I think we should trade down, if we can.

My Top 10 at #17:

1. Devan White LB LSU
2. Dexter Lawrence DT Clemson
3. DK Metcalf WR Ole Miss.
4. Greedy Williams CB LSU
5. DeAndre Baker CB UGA
6. Christian Wilkins DT Clemson
7. Byron Murphy CB Washington
8. Dremont Jones DT OSU
9. Devan Bush LB Michigan
10. T.J. Hockenson TE IOWA

I like this list Pastor...

Except Metcalf wouldn't be on it, nor any receiver for that matter unless we sign a stud front 7 player in FA.

He's my #1 pick. All in.

Devin White is that one player I would trade up in the 1st round to draft. If I were drafting, and White was still on the board after 10, I would be burning up the phone lines.

How much do u know about the DE/DLman in this draft that may drop to around the 10 slot? ... just curious how much u know about them for comparision’s sake? ... CB’s also ....

Ty sir ..

I'm afraid the Bengals will take him, but they have a lot of needs so if White does make it to #17 run to the commissioner ...

Also we haven't had what I would call a great All Pro LB since Chip Banks ...

Dorsey is so good, that I don't even find watching tape that fun anymore. What's the point in me doing a job he can do? Farmer and Lombardi on the other hand...

I'm still watching a bit because it's football, it's fun and it helps me in fantasy football, but I'm not doing a deep dive like years past.

Ty sir ....

Draft prep is not as fun when your team is actually good. It's no fun finding ancillary pieces. It's fun to try and find the guy that will turn the team around. We finally just get to sit back and relax like many others do.

I fear that Devin White may go to the Raiders at 4. If he is there at 17 I would be knocking guys over trying to get to the podium.

I see Buffalo as a willing trade partner at #9. A 1st round pick swap that may include other help. They're expected to draft OL at #9 and only one other team (Denver) is expected to do the same before #17.

Duke? Harrison? 2nd round pick?

If the Browns see what they believe is a transcendent player, they may pull the trigger. I would expect that to mean White or top tier DL. There's a very good chance Cincy could be eyeballing the same player right behind Buffalo at #10.

Yep. Thanks, sorry, Cincy is at #11.

If White falls to the Browns where will he play? He's mostly lined up as the Mike LB. Any ideas?

That's for the gurus on this board (and the Browns) to figure out. I just know he's a tremendous talent that most say would translate to a 4-3 or 3-4.

White is good, but I'm not sure his instincts are good enough to replace either Schobert or Kirksey.

Schobert and White on the field. Kirksey to the bench.

One of the reasons I brought up White early on this year was because not only is he a ferocious tackler and run stopper, but he is also very adept in the passing game.

If we are in a traditional 3 LBer set, I think he could easily replace Collins as the Sam.

If we are in our nickel defense, I see him and Joe S. on the field.

This may be out there a bit, but I would not be too surprised if both Collins and Kirksey are no longer on the team this upcoming year.

With all that said, the chances of us drafting White are probably remote. Preston Smith [should he become available] would be a great fit at OLB. Also, I know he got picked on against the Rams, but Anthony Barr is a very good OLB.

Personally, I would like to see us move on from Collins and Kirksey. The latter is a great guy, but he struggled this year, even when healthy.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I think Collins will be cut and there is a good chance Kirksey is traded.

My dream is that we sign Dee Ford and draft White ......

Sure neither guy will probably be available to us ..... but man, that could be fun.

I want DT, but I have feeling we may take a run at Suh from the Rams in free agency.

With Simmons injury and history taking him out of consideration, White would be the best case scenario, but he's generally ranked between 7th and 11th for non-qb's.

As much as I'd like a future of White and Schobert as the every down 'backers and possibly Avery as the rotating third 'backer, it's hard to imagine Cleveland being willing to trade up when we already have (rather expensive) guys in place like Collins and Kirksey.

Still a long way to go, but we will see.

With that contract?
