Miami’s Defense in the NFL Draft

[MumbleRap]

Bryce is a first rounder. He has the highest ceiling of any DB UM has had since Rolle and KP.

He could be NFL all pro

Ugh dude Lightfoot 5th? You hurt my feelings.

Who the **** drafts a 26 year old who has been in school going on 8 years and he’s not even that good.

Dolphins or Browns

 

[OBLIVION]

Rd1 pick 1

You made one key mistake. Bailey goes #1 overall, then JoJo.

 

[AUcane]

Wilson Scott & Moten will all be higher.

Not based on this year so far. Right now they are playing like day 2-3 picks.

NFL drafts on potential/body type more so than anything.

This thread is about 7.9 on the Dave Portnoy Porsting scale.

Sure but when they're not producing, that plays a part. I don't think our guys are some sort of athletic unicorns where they get drafted mostly on upside.

Agree to disagree. Have a good one brother.

That's generous. A lot of these comments are just salty fans throwing out baseless predictions

Thanks Mel Kiper.

Well it’s not a New Haven porst.

The scale is measuring the stupidity. 10/10 would be epically stupid. Like hall of fame dumb. I thought 7.9 was a fair score. What would you score it?

Before getting into the projections, LB HAS to change. It starts in the film room. Hopefully Chase Smith and Mohamed Toure can flip the switch, play smarter, diagnose plays quicker and become the leaders this defense NEEDS them to be.

That includes Heatherman too. We need better play and better leadership from that entire LB room. There’s too much talent on this defense for LB to be the weak link. NEED them.

Here’s my NFL Draft projection for the starters:

Damon Wilson II — 3rd–5th round
Justin Scott — 2nd round
Ahmad Moten Sr. — 2nd–3rd round
Marquise Lightfoot — 2nd–4th round
Chase Smith — 7th round / UDFA
Mohamed Toure — 6th round / UDFA
Damari Brown — UDFA
Xavier Lucas — 1st–2nd round (TBD)
Omar Thornton — UDFA
Bryce Fitzgerald — 1st–2nd round
Zechariah Poyser — 2nd–4th round

And that’s just the starters.

If Pruitt and Wiley eventually took over at LB, I think we're potentially looking at top 3–4 round talent at both spots. Obviously WAY too early to say that without seeing them actually do it, but I think their ceilings are higher.

Then you have JJ Dunnigan, who I think is eventually a 1st-round pick, and I didn't even mention OJ Frederique, who I could easily see being a top-3-round guy.

This is my list after three games and I’m grading these guys HARD. No benefit of the doubt. Just what I’ve seen on film so far.

But if we really want to win the Natty, Mohamed Toure and Chase Smith HAVE to flip a switch. Something has to click. Whether it’s diagnosing plays faster, being more physical, communicating better or taking control of the defense, we NEED those two.

There’s way too much NFL talent everywhere else on this defense for LB to hold this team back.

What’s y’all’s thoughts?

What has either Pruitt or Wiley shown on the field to say they are a middle round guy? Or is this a madden style draft your doing ?
