OT: Cant-miss player in the NFL draft

Minus injury I would be surprised if any of these don't become top players:

Solomon Thomas
Malik Hooker
John Ross
Forrest Lamp
O.J. Howard
Marshon Lattimore
Christian McCaffrey

Depends on the definition. I think Jamal Adams is a good solid player who will be in the league for a long time but his highlight clips vastly overstate his overall level, and he often was protected based on the immense talent level of the front seven. I'd see him beaten clean in coverage but the ball never arrived since the quarterback was wiped out before delivery.

Gad, that ESPN video package on Myles Garrett today was absolutely brutal. Loaf after loaf, giving credence to Warren Sapp's version. The runner would be feet away yet Garrett tippy toed and made no attempt, like he was intentionally trying to stay away from contact. Then Mark May idiotically tried to dismiss everything, saying Sapp was not relevant. Sure, a Hall of Fame defensive tackle can't source a valid opinion, apparently because he screwed up and got booted from a TV gig.

what's your opinion on jonathan allen from bama? I've seen his highlights he didnt have the best testing numbers but has good production but just doesnt look twitchy off the snap to me. I keep seeing him mocked to my bears at #3 which is worrisome.
 
Adoree Jackson. Worst case scenerio you get a game breaking return man. Kid will contribute in some way.

Guys I really like in this draft:

QB - Mahomes, Watson
RB - Mixon, McCaffrey, Cook, Gallman
WR - Mike Williams, Chris Godwin, Cooper Kupp, Chad Hansen, Stacy Coley, Josh Reynolds
TE - David Njoku, George Kittle, Gerald Everett
OL - Forrest Lamp, Taylor Moton, Julie'n Davenport, Isaac Asiata

DL - McDowell, Tanoh, Jaleel Johnson, Ogunjobi, Dalvin Tomlinson, Eddie Vanderdoes, Tanzel Smart
EDGE - Soloman Thomas, Jordan Willis, TJ Watt, Daeshon Hall, Tyus Bowser, Trey Hendrickson, AQM
LB - Haason Reddick, Zach Cunningham, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Jayon Brown, Blair Brown
CB - Tre' White, Sidney Jones, Adoree Jackson, Ahkello Witherspoon, Chidobe Awuzie, Corn Elder
S - Hooker, Adams, Melifonwu, Marcus Williams, Budda Baker, Josh Jones, Rayshawn Jenkins.
 
Dalvin Cuck unless the injury bug bites him. Njoku will ball in the right system. I also think Elder and Coley will be solid players.

I completely agree on Peppers. Kid had like one pick. He's good at a lot of things. But doesn't seem elite to me. And he has a tweeter size. Kind of a big safety or a small backer. I just don't see it with him.

I also agree on Garrett. Kid wasn't super dominant. At least Clowney was dominant and yeah he put up very similar numbers at DE.

I think Cook too. He shows good hands out of the backfield, elite game speed. He may not have run an amazing time, but **** her runs by LBs like its elite. If he doesn't get hurt, and works hard he could be a legit 3 down back.

Njoku is the easy pick. I actually think he has a lot of work to do. He plays a lot more like a big wr than a TE. That may hurt him if the wrong team drafts him. He looked great for us because we used the **** out of him. How will he dow with only 3-5 opportunities a game. Will he drop some? I think there are some legit question marks with his game. But talent wise he is a freak.

I think Corn will be the draft day steal for someone. He will go later and he will be productive. He's the sleeper/solid career guy.

Jamal Adams, Dalvin Cook and Reuben Foster.
Also, although CB is probably the hardest position to transition, the Lattimore kid from OSU is disgusting.
 
Jabril Peppers only had 1 interception bc he was playing a hybrid Linebacker position majority of his cfb career. I think he has the most upside of any Safety in the draft. I would draft him as a FS and pop a bottle to celebrate.
