2019 Draft Prospects Thread

It's possible but it's also worth mentioning that a LT isnt a huge issue with Baker. It's more important to have that G-C-G locked down. Short QBs dont deal well with pressure in their face.

Tall QB's don't do well with pressure in their face either to be fair.

I'm old enough to remember when Myles Garrett getting most of his sacks against non SEC opponents was a thing. Remember that?

Such odd wording in this tweet...

I recall similar statements about Garrett and his SEC to non-SEC sacks.

And Aaron Donald's current career trajectory is the best defensive tackle to play the game. I'm not sure what this guys point is.

Scharping has legit LT size. I'm tuning in just for him.

Never saw him play before today, but #9 from Texas is a boss.

Yeah, Colin Johnson's great. I really love this years receiving class.

Georgia running backs and the jump cut go together like PB and J.

De’Andre Swift out there looking like Sony and Chubb

Hot take, but this is why you take a QB over a RB atop the draft.

While I agree with your overall point, Allbright is making a really, really stupid take.

That's not why. Barkley was a sure thing. Lindsay was undrafted for a reason. No one knew if he'd pan out or not.

That said, the reason you don't draft a RB that high is because it's a terrible use of a great asset for a position that is easy to fill with quality players. Almost every team in the league has at least one good RB, and you can find guys who are almost as guaranteed to pan out as Barkley (Guice, Chubb, and Michel were three of those guys this year, with Michel's only real question mark being the knee) at the end of the first, in the second, and often even later. Drafting a RB in the top ten instantly makes them a top ten RB in salary, which is the issue here. You're not saving any money by drafting a RB high, and thus it's a waste of a draft pick because the best part about draft picks is that you get them on cheap deals for four to five years, which helps the team plug holes without paying a premium to do it. You're much better off drafting a more valuable position that high so you actually save some money on an elite player for his first several years.
