Miami’s Defense in the NFL Draft

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

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

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 ?

After thinking about it, I take back my statement. In terms of stupidity, this thread is about the level of Guardia Pizza. So you were spot on with the high 7

What I think they could be if they had the opp

Wiley first 2 games was reading and finding the ball better then ive seen #1 and #9 this year

#1 had a pick 6 vs wake forest but his ball iq is in the dam negatives and cant lift his head up
 
Moten needs to start dominating consistently like he did in the playoffs last year

He had 1st round tape but through the first 3 games this year he has not

He’s a first rounder if he can be consistent

Wiley is a freak of nature, my hope is he can get some meaningful reps this weekend. His trigger doesn’t match his athletic gifts as of yet. Hope he lives in the film room to get more comfortable

Pruitt is a Romeo finely/ gilbert clone. Not sure he’ll ever be big enough for LB or quick enough for safety let alone full time starter


Marcelin popped on film before he got hurt, his trigger and diagnosis ability is elite. Excited to get him back
 
Smith and Toure are worse than Wes and Wes didn’t even make the chiefs. They’re also pushing 30… No disrespect to them I hope they improve and have a great season, but in what world are they even close to draft able prospects
