[quote=CarolinaRedskin;1162669]Foxsports.com mock draft

[I]DeShaun Watson - QB - Clemson

This totally depends on how contract negotiations go with Kirk Cousin, obviously, but if Cousins is franchise tagged for a second year or signs elsewhere, Watson, who showed a lot of guts in the National Championship Game, would be a great fit here.

(Washington could also go with Jabrill Peppers in this spot — there are few teams that could assimilate him easily, and Jay Gruden’s team is one of them.)

Needs: Safety, linebacker, defensive line, running back[/I]


Thoughts?[/quote]

If we let Cousins go and Watson is there at 17 we have to take him. He's underrated if you ask me. He's a winner. Winners are good for the QB position.

For our sake, I like that mock.
But then RG!!! starts for Cleveland next year?

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1162689]I'm a FSU fan, I've seen a lot of Cook. He's a freaking game changer. Best player in the draft if you ask me. He doesn't have fumbling problems. Just YouTube the Orange Bowl and watch him turn 3rd and 21 into a 71 yard run and 1 inch away from a TD. If we have Cousins locked up and he's there at 17 I'd cry if we didn't get him. And it's not like it's not a position of need. We need another back.[/quote]


Cook is a beast. No doubt about that and I believe he could boost our running game. He has a great attitude and plays hard every down but in my opinion, there so much rich defensive talent in the first round and I don't see how we can afford not to take a defensive talent in the first round. I think the defensive line and secondary has to be our two biggest needs to fill in the first two or three rounds.

Kinda similar to what I said responding to your Cook comment. I think we should be thinking defense but if we don't have Cousins' then that might change the whole mind set of what we will need in the first round.

There are definitely arguments to going defense at 17. But if either of those guys are there they'd be the BPA at that point.

FWIW reportedly Alabama OLB/DE Tim Williams failed several drug tests..... his stock is dropping.

Yet he played in the NCAA championship game

Re: 2017 Draft Prospects
 

Solomon Thomas should be the pick....unless you have to trade up to get him

Re: 2017 Draft Prospects
 

My dream scenario - Dalvin Cook

What I'd be happy with - whoever the best player available on defense is, based on SM'S scouting reports. It could literally be any player at any position.

Re: 2017 Draft Prospects
 

Joe Mixon is another guy I would look at starting in round 2

Re: 2017 Draft Prospects
 

What is all this RB in the first round garbage? We ain't draftin' no stinkin' RB in Round 1 and, if we did, it wouldn't be a fumbler like Cook.

I still have my shuler jersey[/quote]

Man that just brings bac terrible memories. There was not one thing Shuler did well. The pro game was way too fast for him. At least Griffin has 2012, Shuler never did anything except throw the ball to the other team and complete 50 percent of his passes.

That's a pass for me. I don't think we have the roster that would be able to help a guy with character concerns like that. He may have learned his lesson from hitting that girl but I think it's a bad look for us.
