Drafttek just put out their latest mock. It's pretty amazing for NE. 32) Byron Murphy CB UW 56) Irv Smith Jr TE Bama 64) Deebo Samuel WR S. Car 73) TJ Edwards LB Wisconsin They don't include Comp Picks until they are official. What an amazing haul that would be! I would not know if these players are good, bad or indifferent, but a CB in RD 1 seems to me a reach?? JC Jackson, Crossen and Dawson all 2nd year players. Gilmore going nowhere. Seemingly would like to have Jones and JMC back. I would think DL needs top be addressed?

That would be one heck of a draft. My only nitpick would be I'd rather trade 32 out top of round 2 and grab one of the safeties there like Rapp. I guess it also depends on what they do with a few of their current corners. Either way I"d be good.

Either way I"d be good. Yes agreed with this. Safety in rd 1 or slight trade down and keep the rest as is and that’d be a great early haul. Perhaps CB becomes a need early in the 2020 draft but don’t see it as a need at all going into this year...if all CBS that ended this year on the roster return next season.

Seemingly would like to have Jones and JMC back. I would think DL needs top be addressed? Very fair point. I'd say Safety is a much bigger need than CB, too. However, in the 1st Rnd I think NE likes to draft BPA. if they feel that a guy like Murphy is the best on the board, it's a good pick. If NE doesn't resign JMC, CB is in play, even though I do agree with you. I like our young depth. DL would be great as well. I do trust BB to find D-Linemen late in the draft or undrafted, though. I swear BB could take a group of UDFA Rookies and have them ready to perform at a formidable level by Week 1. Lol.

La. Tech's Jaylon Ferguson disinvited to scouting combine
Print
NFL.com
Published: Feb. 13, 2019 at 05:12 p.m. Updated: Feb. 13, 2019 at 05:18 p.m. 0 Likes | 0 Comments
The NFL has rescinded Louisiana Tech pass rusher Jaylon Ferguson's invitation to the scouting combine after a background check turned up an off-field issue that made him ineligible under the league's policy, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Ferguson, the NCAA's all-time sack leader, was convicted of simple battery his freshman year at Tech following a fight at a McDonald's. As per the rules, that's enough to take away a combine invitation. The NFL told clubs last month players would be barred from the combine "if a background check reveals a conviction of a felony or misdemeanor involving violence."
Ferguson also received a public intoxication charge while in college. A potential first-round selection, teams have already begun reaching out to schedule visits. Those will increase with him not going to the combine.
Two other players -- Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and Colorado State receiver Preston Williams -- weren't invited to the combine because they were also ineligible under the policy. Their past incidents were public knowledge and had been reported in the media.
The case involving Ferguson had not been made public, though NFL teams were aware of the incidents. All players accepting combine invites agree to background checks, and Ferguson's turned up the battery charge.
Ferguson isn't the first player to have an invitation rescinded under the policy. Two years ago, Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly's was rescinded because of incidents in his past.

I didn't know much about Marshall S Malik Gant prior today, but read about him a bit in an article about the safeties in this year's class, and decided to give him a look, and I really like what I saw. In fact, he's exactly the kind of high-effort, downhill banger that I like to see at the position. I also like that he can handle man coverage responsibilities, and if he's around 5-11+ 205+, then I think he's in the conversation as another potential Chung successor. Really like this player, and you also have to like that he's a self-made former walk-on, that earned a scholarship.

Of the names listed in that article, Gerald Willis seems laughable to me... also surprised that not a single TE was projected... unless you count McShay's listing of Fant. I also don't see Dre'Mont Jones as a fit, as despite his athleticism and ability to penetrate, he's been a liability against the run at times. And with Tillery, as an ND guy, he has all the size and talent that one could want, but there are questions around whether or not football is the most important thing to him (he's a bright dude, with a lot of interests), which makes me question how much interest BB will have. Now if they meet and he's able to show that it's his top priority, then yeah I think he goes in the Top 40 or so. Love Samuel, Wilkins, Metcalf and Murray, and I'll need to watch some Murphy tape. I haven't to this point as he generally seems to be going Top 20 or so in mocks.

PFF also listed him as the #62 player in the country, with the following write-up: "Named as our Best Box Safety, Gant was an absolute force against opposing offenses. He recorded 46 total defensive stops, leading all safeties and was a number good enough that would have ranked in the top half of all FBS linebackers this year."

Remember back in the day when people view Jerry Rice as some sort of cyborg because he returned from injury so quickly? Seemed the narrative was that he just worked harder than everyone else to get back, which is kinda laughable now. Not saying he didn't work hard, but he had a little help from science. haha.

I wonder what it would like if the NFL just said, take whatever you want...no more testing. Personally, I think guys who are going to do it to gain an edge are doing it now. You might have a very small percentage that do it if the NFL lifted the ban. The stuff they are making now in labs is lightyears ahead of the horse steroids and HGH they took back in the day where you'd grow another forehead and hair on your feet. They can engineer PEDs tailored specifically to your body chemistry and what your individual body needs. Kind of alike a PED multi-vitamin. They also do it with sports nutrition bars.

I want no part of him, mostly due to his freakish size. That body looks like it’s full of strained tendons/ligaments. He looks like a blown acl waiting to happen. Plus I doubt his movement skills are sustainable. Hard pass for me.

So, with the all-star games in the books, and the Combine starting in 10+ days, I think it's a good time to get a pulse of who everyone wants at the end of Rd 1. For the sake of this exercise, they will be making the pick.
With the 32nd pick, in the 2019 NFL draft, the New England Patriots select... {give your top 3 options}

And just in case we don't do that..I'll take in no particular order - Irv Smith Jr. (TE - Bama) - Greg Little (OT - Ole Miss) - Deebo Samuel (WR - SCarolina)
