Those would make absolutely perfect sense. Which is why we're about to see something completely opposite guaranteed.

I'm glad Gary's gone. Just wouldn't have been crazy about him at 13 at all.

The time has come! Haskins? A D-lineman?

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:46 pm

Okay, I'm cool with it. Sweat would've been good too but at least they didn't go brain dead like they usually do.

by HalCHorn Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:47 pm

No problem with taking Wilkins, he fits in either a 4-3 or a 3-4. Would have liked extra picks, but no problem with the player.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:47 pm

YES!!! WILKINS!!!! Love it...and that's who I had them taking in my mock!

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:47 pm

Most mocks I saw had the Fins taking Wilkins here and liked the pick BTW.

Sometimes it's best to go quality over quantity. Just ask Sashi Brown. Ultimately it's all about getting the best players possible.

Perfect for multiple fronts - can play anywhere on the line. Super smart, strong, athletic. Hell yeah - this guy can transform the defense. Get a pass rusher and off we go!!!

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:49 pm

I do kinda wish the Fins could somehow find a way to nab that other Clemson DT though. No way he falls to their next pick.

I've seen Brian Burns compared to JT. Seriously. Armando said he got a text from the Fins' FO downplaying that comparison, to put it politely.

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:52 pm

Skins could get Haskins without moving up. He'll be a bust at QB but from a tactical standpoint it at least looks like a smart move on paper.

by JEGnj Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:53 pm

I want a QB but a big man to bust up the middle against the AFC QBs is nice.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:53 pm

I don't like Burns...too weak. He's a project - needs to add muscle and learn some pass rush moves. Can't just run around guys in the NFL.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:54 pm

Yeah seems like a slam dunk that Haskins will go to the Skins.

I'm sure the same things were being said about JT in '97. Just relaying what I've been seeing people say about him. And he's already bulked up and has that mesomorph V-shaped upper torso to add even more.

What other pass rusher would you prefer?

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:56 pm

BTW is it just me or has this draft been zooming by the last 10 picks or so?

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:57 pm

BTW I will post this year's SACKSEER article (same metrics that predicted Harris would be a bust) sometime later.

Wilkins great pick.

Clearly, teams don’t like Haskins. Except Skins and they are not good

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:59 pm

So far it's 3 for 3 with obvious QB picks.

No way Haskins actually pans out though, but better the Skins than the Fins cheers

JT was drafted in round 3 though...I don't want a project in round one. Montez Sweat all day over Burns. There's some quality pass rushers that will go tomorrow too that I'd take over Burns - Jaylon Ferguson, Zach Allen, etc. And don't sleep on Oshane Ximines from Old Dominion...could be a steal in the 3rd or 4th round.

I'm glad people other than the usual night shift are showing up Very Happy

Buckeyes QBs have an NFL pedigree that's beyond horrible BTW. Like, if Haskins even becomes an average backup he'll still be the best drafted one ever.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 25, 2019 10:02 pm

Man, loving the Wilkins pick. Imagine the Phins having an intelligent, enthusiastic player that's good in the locker room! Been a long time...hopefully we've seen the end of the emotionless robots that Philbin and Gase collected.

No way Sweat will be available to this team without a MAJOR trade up, which is why I'm not even considering him.

The SACKSEER article covers Allen and Ximines, but not Ferguson for some reason.

And it's all moot anyway because Burns just went off the board Shocked

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 25, 2019 10:04 pm

Okay, either the Panthers and I are right, or Jmp is. There can be no middle ground. I still say Burns could be the next JT.

Could be...depends how much he wants it.

Sweat's heart condition must be a real concern...can't believe he's still on the board.
