Any idea why Wirfs is at RT while Alaric Jackson protects Stanley's blindside? Can Wirfs play on the left side? Also I've read where some are projecting Wirfs as an OG in the NFL due to an arm-length issue. Heard anything along these lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard anything along these lines? Nope.. Lamar was told to play WR.. Both Alaric Jackson & Wirf came to Iowa at same season.. I read, Alaric Jackson is the Tackle that Ferentz could only fit at Left & not Right side of line..Walt at Walterfootball has some concerns that looks to me Ferentz has coached out of him.(Worse tape/Walt Michigan, have not looked yet). I have not seen Wirfs arm lenght numbers.. but from what i could tell from last night. Rarely was Wirfs arms a issue in pass pro.. they were locked straight forward to defenders inside chest plate & rarely given a real fight to get released.. Now, I would like to see Iowa's DE AJ Epenesa vs Wirf practice tapes 👀 though..  it's still draft early but.. Wirf imho, projects as a starter anywhere after Bitonio.. https://goiowaawesome.com/iowa-hawkeyes-football/2019/12/4429/tristan-wirfs-named-big-ten-offensive-lineman-of-the-year    1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a nice pick Saturday night but I though overall he was quiet.  I think most Browns fan think a coaching change solves the defense.  I disagree we could use a pass rusher, a run stuffing backer most of all a field general at the Safety position-  IMO all three of these are needs. I see maybe two Off Tackles worthy of #10 overall pick after that we are reaching.  So I think best player available not at QB, RB or WR is the way to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibleedbrown Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Kinda curious what some of you think about JK Dobbins? I can’t help but like him. Gritty player with some speed and moves, but l wonder if he’s considered undersized and l’m not sure he’s got the hands you want for a 3rd down back. Never fumbled at OSU. That’s something.

Better than some speed... One site I use puts his 40 time in 4.30-4.88 better than a tenth faster than Clemson's Etienne. Well see what's what at The Combine. I like JK as well. He's not undersized. At 5'9 and 217 he's right in there with compact backs all over the NFL like OAK's Jacobs (5'10, 220), CHI's Singletary (5'8, 203)... problem is that he got a lot of his yards in straight line bursts that are fewer and father between in the NFL. That said... I don't see a R1 player... I see more R3/4. A couple decades ago he's probably a R2 talent. One or two RBs in round 1 is pretty much the max now. Two years ago we saw 3 go, but that's an anomaly and while Saquon went early the other two went very late. You have to go back to 2008 to find more than three-R1 RBs in a draft.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every report was that the surgery went well so I expect he'll be medically cleared by most teams. So for me the question becomes, "How many 'can't pass' players are there in this draft?" At first take starting with Burrow that looks like 8-10 to me, so those in front of us are less likely to trade back due to FOMO.

RT.... but I go back and read up after you mention him, and you really have to LIKE the kid, plus, he has really been pass blocking at a very high level. I read where Wirfs' feet were just a bit questionable, but not Wills'. Now, his draft stock is rising fast. Just can't go into next season with Robinson at LT. Maybe Rt... eh...

He looks good!  At 10 I don’t want a solid guy he looks like he could be elite.  Very athletic for a big dude.  Actually looks a lot like Wirfs.   Tua may or may not drop.  But the fact remains there are a ton of teams in the Top 12 that seemingly have their QB spot accounted for - I don’t know how this fact would contribute to a sellers market.  The Raiders spot at 12 could be a hot spot if a QB falls because you have a host of teams just behind them that could use a QB.  The Chargers are a great spot for Tua they could convince Rivers to stay for one year and they have pretty good roster that they can take a chance on a guy.  Unless they elect to go Fouts 2.0 with Herbert.  and then I see guys like Jerry Jeudy and cedee lamb as top 10 guys- Sorry but these guys aren’t WR1 types.  I think there are a few diamonds but for the most part Burrow and Young are ahead in this class then you have a few diamonds and bunch of good with a solid floor types in the first round  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I would keep an eye on the Clemson - LSU game to see the two safeties from each team, Simmons and Delpit. I've seen more of Delpit and he is a hitter/sure tackler with CB speed/abilities. I like him because he is always around the ball. The OT's may be gone by then and I think he may still be there as BPA in a need position for the Browns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With outstanding athletic skills. The next defensive CO would dearly love to have a weapon like him. I already have picked him in the first round for the Browns in my dumb three round mock, that won't change. He is the read deal, imho. I can't imagine picking any other player in the first round if he's even there. https://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/2019/05/isaiah-simmons/ Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons is a freak athlete, Better take notes NFL scouts transitioned to lb from safety - could start at safety in the pros, I think. https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/21/2020-nfl-mock-draft-denver-broncos-select-clemson-isaiah-simmons/ In his latest three-round 2020 NFL mock draft for Draft Wire, Luke Easterling has the Denver Broncos selecting Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons with the 10th overall pick in the first round. Here is Easterling’s commentary with the selection: This defense needs a three-down playmaker at the second level, and this pick would be the perfect fit. Simmons is a rare athlete and a versatile defender who can matchup with the best player on any offense, making him the kind of guy opposing offenses have to scheme for on a weekly basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
