Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

[quote=skinsy;1143067]I like the picks so far. A little off topic, ok not really, what would our starting d-line look like if the season started today?
Baker, Paea, T-Murph, Reyes (nickel)
Baker, Paea, Reyes (3-4)
Bench: Ricky J Francois, Ziggy Hood, Golston

Besides needing a nose tackle, we probably aren't nearly as bad there as we think. The additions of Hood, Reyes, and T-Murphs move are solid additions.[/quote]

Thats what I'm thinking. I think they'll go for a big 2 gapping nt late, like round 6 or 7 to be on the field the 30 or 40% of the time we're in base 3-4, the rest of the time baker, kerrigan, smith, paea, murphy and gallette will alternate as required. Any high pick dl is gonna take snaps away from those guys.. I think scot sees it that way and wants those guys on the field as much as possible to get after qbs.

Id expect a rb, ilb and nt in some sort of order.. I'd guess we're gonna roll with lich and mcrib for another year, don't anticipate a 5 or 6th round center being able to step in and start.

Im hoping theres a gem left in the trenches on either side in our draft future

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

You always here about is BPA really true or not, for us, seems like its legit, everyone knows we need a DL, 3 picks in, haven't picked one. If it was need based, seems like we'd have at least 1 of 3.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

Id consider trading up in the 4th for Billings. higher than a 4th round talent. also like the idea of Tyler Matakevich in the 4th.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1143058]pot roast went to NE[/quote]

I stand corrected.

Then sign Henry Melton, or Randy Starks. Reyes cannot start he was one of the lowest ranked DL in the league. And Paea was mediocre at best last year.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

Pass defense: 1st. Run defense: 33rd. :D

Seriously though, it's so refreshing to see us truly taking the BPA. Being real, I'm like, "WHEN ARE WE GONNA' TAKE A DT?!" but something about Billings must have given them serious pause. The good news is that suddenly our secondary should be a strength.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

With the addition of Norman, Cravens and Fuller, our secondary is a position of strength and depth. I propose a "nickname" is needed for this secondary, "The Iron Dome", like the Israeli anti missile defense system.

Let's wait until they earn it. I am greatly encouraged, though.

I like it. I was thinking the same thing about our receiving corps- something thats never been done before like...the Fun Bunch or the Smurfs!

Oh my!!!

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

So for rounds 4 5 and 6, I'm guessing rb, ilb, and a run stuffing nt.
Probably in that order unless billings is still there, then maybe they grab him with the 4th.. Kinda doubt it tho.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

The problem I am having is what are we gong to do when Zeke Elliot comes charging thru our defensive line averaging over 150 yards rushing per game against us. We do not seem to seriously understand how big a difference Elliot is going to make to the Cowboys. They are going to pound the ball on us with Elliot running behind that offensive line. So I am not thrilled with our drafting so far. If we want to beat Dallas, we are going to have to stop the run. Right now I do not see that happening.

Was reading an article about the Skins run defense last year. They said that they surrendered a ton of yards but...in short down situations the Skins were spectacular in stopping them. They also allowed very few runs of 20 or more though. They gave up a shitload of runs for 7-10 yards. That is on the ilb and db's, not really the dline. Im going to try and find the article.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

I get Scott wants more pics but why not take billings...in the 4th!

Re: 2016 NFL Draft (2nd and 3rd round) Day 2
 

Did you see how many TD runs of 40 or more yards Elliot had last year? That is his specialty -- driving thru a short yardage situation at the line of scrimmage and then either running over or blazing past the CB's and Safties.

guys in the nfl are faster, and they tend to take better angles than college kids. it happens a lot less.
