The Game I saw Delvon Randall in I was impressed. Especially his tackling. But, again that was against UCONN. Yeah, I've seen prob (3) games, and while he's missed a couple (god, I hate missed tackles), he generally seems to be reliable in that area, and has laid the wood on occasion.

If this kid falls later in the Draft, 6th or 7th I really hope we think about him. Saw his games last year and this year I always liked him. Kid runs angry, like a small Lynch. Also hands ball to Ref. always a plus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkrt6LkE-xo

I just could not remember who he was or what team he played for. I did not mention him back then because at 5-9, 200 pounds, I would have to see how well he can block in the back field.

He's projects to be a brute on 1st and 2nd down, but isn't yet much of a factor on 3rd/obvious passing downs. With that said, NE is such a situational team that they may like the idea of having him plug the middle on early downs, then kicking players like Flowers inside to do their damage in 3rd down. He's definitely an intriguing player, and I'll be curious to see what if any impact his PED suspension has on his draft status.

Been watching him since his Freshman Year, saw his workout before he got to Clemson. Unreal, hardly any Fat, and fast as hell for his size. Here's the problem, that worries me. Not consistent. Plays Lazy, seems plays when he wants. Doesn't play angry enough for me. Thought the world of him, not anymore.

With DMC hinting at a possible retirement, if NE's wins the SB, I think that would further heighten their need to add a true FS... and Nasir Adderley would be the perfect fit if he's there at pick #32.

Also, on the topic of safeties... one of my favorite things to do around Senior Bowl time is to scour the rosters for players that I'm not familiar with. It's easier around this time of year, as there's usually more tape, and their weigh-ins give us a clear picture of their true measurables, which generally play a big factor in NE. During yesterday's search, I stumbled up on the name "Khari Willis", the S from Michigan State... and he was listed at 5107- 213, with big hands (9 7/8), which seems close to ideal for their SS position, and is quite close to Chung at the same stage (5-11 212), so I decided to give him a look.
And I was pretty stoked with what I found/saw. Not the most decorated player on the field, as he was Honorable Mention All-Big Ten the past few years, but was nominated as a captain this past season and was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten. He was also "the keynote player speaker at the 2018 Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon in Chicago and delivered an inspirational speech calling on his fellow Big Ten players to make a difference in their communities (some I've been him do in other videos; he received a standing ovation and video of his speech went viral across social media.", which shows the kind of leader and person he is off the field. On the field, he was a (4) year contributor, playing in (46) games, while starting (30), and while I was only able to find tape from 2017, he looks to be everything that I like in a safety/defensive back. He's instinctive and dependable, plays with a ton of energy and physicality, and he flies around the field, seemingly in on any play. And he tackles... and tackles well, which is a must for me. And while I still want to see some 2018 tape, he wasn't selected to play in the Senior Bowl for no reason, and he appears to have been rate highly by PFF (Per PFF on 10/17/18: Willis certainly gets the nod for Mr. Dependable here. He’s hauled in six total plays on the ball (2 INT, 4 PBU) and recorded 10 defense stops while missing just three tackles on 38 total attempts. Since Week 4, Willis has not put forth a game grade lower than 73.2 and made our Big Ten Team of the Week three times.), so it sure appears that he had a good year.
Look, I'll be blunt... this is a player that I really want, and I don't know why he's not getting more press (though maybe that's tied to the lack of 2018 tape out there). He looks like a very good football player with solid personal and football character and just strikes me as the kind of player that BB/NC might gush over. I'd be a buyer on Day 2, but honestly don't care how high they take him... just get him to Foxboro.

Throwing darts depending on the board falls out: 31: R1P31 CB DEANDRE BAKER(5'11, 185) GEORGIA - Another CB, NE is collecting backend talent. 56: R2P24 WR DEEBO SAMUEL (6'0", 210) SOUTH CAROLINA - really impressed with route running and hands, waiting to see his speed and 3c 63: R2P31 DL CHARLES OMENIHU (6'6", 276) TEXAS - great length and size, looked good at the Senior bowl; maybe NE can get him the 3rd 73: R3P9 RB ELIJAH HOLYFIELD (5'11, 216) GEORGIA - see MB's post 97: R3P33 TE KADEN SMITH (6'5", 250) STANFORD - I like D Allen, but $ matter maybe he extends. Izzo did not look bad; Smith will need some seasoning to be a blocker, but has all the tools for pass catching. 101: R3P37 DL OLIVE SAGAPOLU (6'2", 350) WISCONSIN - probably will go later, but I like him, not as dynamic as D. Lawrence, but seems more than Shelton, has the size to for double teams on running downs; good motor, stout at POA, can push the pocket, 2 down DT 133: R4P31 QB RYAN FINLEY (6'4", 210) NC STATE - NE will select a QB to develop, pick one... nice report on Finley www.cover1.net/2019-nfl-draft-ryan-finley/ 175: R5P36 LB LEO LEWIS (6'2"235) MISSISSIPPI STATE - 4 Star recruit as the best ILB in HS when he came out; heard NE tracks these guys that have the tools, but appear not to get the coaching 241: R7P25 OT JACKSON BARTON (6'7", 313) UTAH - Dept OT that could be a RT; has great length and solid athleticism for the position. He also has the technique to match up with more athletic pass rushers. 247: R7P31 LB/S DRUE TRANQUILL (6'1", 230) NOTRE DAME - S convert; athletic to the ball; should be able to cover TEs; sideline to sideine, but does have the strength as an edge rusher. Speed, intelligence, versatility, and leadership will get him drafted. 252: R7P36 WR KEESEAN JOHNSON (6'2", 200) FRESNO STATE - double dip WR. *sleeper alert* with natural hands and excellent body control, will not beat you with speed, but with smarts. Balance and toughness after the catch stands out.

What happens when T. Brown signs elsewhere and Wynn is not ready. I think NE will seriously look at T at the draft or lower cost T in FA. I think Tony Adams, Dan Skipper and Ryker Matthews are on the roster, but.... Best scenario for OT is to sign Brown, maybe a higher priority than Trey Flowers. Of course all this will change as it always does Used a Matt Miller Big Board: 31: R1P31 OT JAWAAN TAYLOR (6'5", 344) FLORIDA 56: R2P24 S CHAUNCEY GARDNER-JOHNSON (6'0", 207) FLORIDA 63: R2P31 WR DEEBO SAMUELS (6'0", 210) SOUTH CAROLINA 73: R3P9 EDGE CHARLES OMENIHU (6'6", 276) TEXAS 97: R3P33 DL KHALEN SAUNDERS (6'0", 320) WESTERN ILLINOIS 101: R3P37 LB GERMAINE PRATT (6'3", 245) NC STATE 133: R4P31 TE ZACH GENTRY (6'7", 250) MICHIGAN 175: R5P36 CB MARK GILBERT (6'1", 175) DUKE 241: R7P25 QB KYLE SHURMUR (6'4", 225) VANDERBILT 247: R7P31 RB JORDAN ELLIS (5'10, 225) VIRGINIA 252: R7P36 DL GREG GAINES (6'1", 315) WASHINGTON

He sure seems like an alpha on and off the field, and is easily of the top 3-5 options for me on Rd 1. Heck, he might end up #1 on my boards as he doesnt really have a true weakness.
