2017 Draft Prospects

[SirLK26]

I paid very little attention to college football this year so I just wanna know what you more knowledgeable folks know. Who are the best players coming out, who are the players you want the Skins to draft?

[Evilgrin]

Demarcus Walker is my favorite, but Solomon Thomas is pretty good also. I think both should be available around the time they pick, Thomas is getting more attention now though.

[Alvin Walton]

Yea he is starting to get some attention but at pick 17 I dont think Solomon Thomas will be there.

He looks fairly monstrous in this video.

Excellent answer, Thomas had 1 sack, several hurries, and 9 tackles in his bowl game. Before the game it appeared he would be available at # 17. It looks like a decent D line class, so a good one should be available.

The mock drafts are all over the place. And the combine has a big impact on picks, so it is still early.

Also will the new coach play a 4-3 ? Are they looking to replace Baker, or play next to him ? or a DE to replace Smith ?

Here is a good list;

They better decide on whether or not the 3-4 stays soon. If it is kept, you will need a couple LBs to be acquired in the offseason along with a bona fide NT, along with the obvious DTs that should be the top priority. IF they go to the 4-3 Kerrigan can go back being a DE and possibly become a real beast again. Draft any defensive line stud there is!!!!! We will have a nice unit if a couple seasons. I just hope Kirk doesn't get too greedy and lets us just give him a longer deal so we can keep a decent amount of cap space to get a solid team setup for a change.

Manusky already said he's sticking with the 3-4. He wants a big NT, but didn't say they had to draft one. I'm not sure there is a current stud NT out there, but with Tomsula on board, he may be able to coach some guy up.

Either way, we can always find room for a stud DE (Chris Baker needs re-signed), so we actually still need 2 DE's right now. Trent Murphy may be asked to move to DE again this year, but Galette is no guarantee to return either.

Going to a 3-4 is a big mistake. They have no NT and no natural OLBs..... Kerrigan, Smith, and Murphy are not good OLBs. And to small as 3-4 DT/DEs. What are they going to do, play 5 LBs with two down lineman in passing situations ?

Hopefully this is a smokescreen by Manusky and they plan to play a 4-3, like they did a significant amount last year.

Taco Charlton MICH, thats who I want in the 1st.

Montravious Adams is my 2nd option so far

I would agree with Charlton. He is an animal. What I like is he actually has more than one pass rush move! He looks like a pure 4-3 end.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Jamal Adams.

[sdskinsfan2001]

I like all the players everyone else above mentioned. I'd take any of them. Although, is Adams more of a SS type? If so we might not need him if Cravens is moving there. Or can he play FS too?

North Carolina Tar Heels QB Mitch Trubisky declares for NFL draft

Watched a little of him against FSU and was not impressed. People are saying he could go first overall? I dont see it. Switzer though from UNC.. guy's a baller

[Irrefutable]

here is a possible solution to the QB problem with pick #17

NFL Draft - 2017 NFL Draft Prospects - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

although winning the Power Ball lottery is more likely

[CarolinaRedskin]

Watching Foster, Allen, and Williams played last night has me impressive with the Alabama defensive prospects. I really like both Foster and Allen.

I guess my dream top 5 right now are:

Foster
Thomas
Allen
Adams
Williams
