Just started my draft stuff.
DE, DT, DB, FS, QB, RB.
I'll probably end up writing about 80 guys. Top 15 or so for everything, but FS.

Almost done with DE. Kind of intrigued by Buckner who more teams say could move to a DE spot, or DT. Have him 1a & 1b with Bosa. Think I'd chose Bosa due to better athleticism.
But my steals at DE would be Noah Spence from Eastern Kentucky. Has gotten into a lot of trouble, got banned from Big Ten. But think he may be just as good as Shaq Lawson. Has really been accountable for his mistakes. Projected as a late first, early second. I think he'd be picked somewhere between 10-20 without the off-field substance abuse. If teams keep passing on him in the first 2 rounds because of it. Picking him in Round 3 would be a steal.
Also very intrigued by Stephen Weatherly of Vanderbilt. Plays DE, but seen as an OLB in 3-4. But is near the top with DEs in 40yd, 20yd, bench reps, arm length and hand length. Projected as 5-6 Round Pick. Honestly think he's good enough to get picked in Mid 3rd round. But in the late rounds, think he's a really high upside guy.

Joey Bosa- Good strength. Very flexible. Explosive off the line that gives advantage over OT. Great Upper Body Strength, good hand technique. Good tackler. Keeps his balance. Lateral quickness to sidestep blockers. Stays low and gets initial push. With heavy good hands, can push blockers off balance. Disciplined, doesn't lose contain.
Rarely fooled, keeps eyes on backfield. Doesn't take himself out of plays by always hustling.
Weakness- Not as quick as elite edge rushers. Not quick rusher, more reactionary than action. Can leave too much of a gap trying to hold contain. When he is fooled, he crashes too far into backfield, and give RB easy lane to get to second level. When he makes a mistake, he overcompensates on the next play, leading to another mistake. Jared Allen comp.

Still needs to learn how to set up pass rush, and how to lull OL into counter moves. Sometimes sacrifices edge thinking he can always get in backfield. Still learning how to use hands, can't consistently turn speed to power. More reactionary on pass rush. Tackling is inconsistent when moving, gets off balance making a good wrap up difficult.

Great upper body strength. Legs move fluidily to drive OL back, and quickly change directions. Can leverage blocks on the edge. Uses his flecibility to get where he wants to go, and beat single blocks. Can set edge, play contain Able to work off blocks, and finish outside.
Weakness- Average athlete at End. Doesn't keep his pads low, and loses leverage quickly. Gets fatigued as game goes on. Can get lazy when play isn't run to his side. Has plays where his goal is to punish blockers rather than read the play, and can keep him from getting in position. Production based on effort decreases in NFL, needs to be a better and more skilled pass rusher. May have to move to 3-4 OLB if he has trouble producing. Seen more as a 3-4 edge setter to many scouts.

Sack in 16 of last 21 games. 17.5 tackles for loss. An end, but can move inside.
Weakness- Can be stiff in hips. Not an elite athlete. Has moments of great awareness, and then plays where he looks lost. Can react quickly, but then lose awareness of the developing play. After winning point of attack, can get swallowed up when he turns shoulders to disengage. Small stride hurts upfield burst. One speed pass rusher. Unable to burn the edge quickly. Trouble disengaging quickly on bull rush. Needs to find 2nd & 3rd gear on motor. Also needs to be willing to not quit on pursuit.

Doesn't take adavantage of length with effective punch. Stays glued too blocks for too long. Development prospect, needs work and time to be better at pass rush and off the edge.

I don't think I want anything to do with Myles Jack. I like him as a player but I'm not sold on him being able to stay on the field every week.
Thinking about hitting up the Steelers game or finally heading out to Green Bay this year.

How much of a ceiling do you think Buckner has? I know that's hard to predict but even with my lack of knowledge I think he seems raw. Fine tune him and he'll be kicking ***.
Is there anyway of him excelling in our scheme, anyway?

All depends. If you focus him on 1 position, the better. If you jerk him around too much, and don't let him get his foot into a spot, then you make it so much harder for him.
I think Bosa produces better Day 1 (Remember this is all guess work anyway).
Long term, probably Buckner is ahead of Bosa.
1a & 1b for me.
But Jalen Ramsey way ahead of both of them.

Ramsey to Dallas looks like the pick if they like him as much as the fans do I'm glad the Eagles gave away the next three drafts, even if Wentz turned out to be Flacco (my projected ceiling for him) that team will be in cap hell his first 5-7 years because they have to field a team through free agency
