Hot take: Veach should draft a DT in the first 2 rds

[RunKC]

This is the best DT class in years. DT and RB are easily the best positions in this draft and we should capitalize on them.

Derrick Harmon
Walter Nolen
Darius Alexander
TJ Sanders
Josh Farmer
Ty Robinson
Omar Norman-Lott

This isn’t even counting a lot of other talented guys that I don’t have listed here like Tyleik Williams or Alfred Collins. Hell there’s guys in rd 3 and 4 that I like too. Vernon Broughton, Shemar Turner or CJ West.

**** me. Might just have to double the **** up gents

Man, I really think Grant or Williams are perfect fits at #31. There are a couple of guys in the 2nd that are possibilities, too.

We don't really need a 3 tech, you have Jones. What you need is a NT to complement him. You've got guys that can rush inside in Danna and Omenihu. You NEED a NT.

Yup. Your ranked DT’s as of today that are realistic.

[smithandrew051]

Nolen
Harmon
Grant
Williams
Collins
Norman-Lott
Alexander

Something like that. I really don’t get how PFF is so high on Alexander. They had him as a top 25 prospect. That makes little sense to me.

Anyone like Deone Walker?

That’s a massive human.

Lot of potential, but sounds like he's largely been getting by...by being so large.

His Relative Athletic Score is awful

With that size, he’d be a sure first round pick if he were more athletic.

If you can grab him late, then maybe you can do something with him.

Has to be late though. Too many better prospects in this draft.

Probably something like this right now. I haven't put much thought into pure ranking yet...

01. Mason Graham, Michigan
02. Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
03. Derrick Harmon, Oregon
**** Realistic Cutoff ****
04. Tyleik Williams, Ohio State
05. Kenneth Grant, Michigan
06. T.J. Sanders, South Carolina
07. Alfred Collins, Texas
08. Elijah Roberts, SMU
09. Joshua Farmer, Florida State
10. Darius Alexander, Toledo
11. Ty Robinson, Nebraska
12. Omarr Norman-Lott, Tennessee
13. Shemar Turner, Texas A&M
14. Ty Hamilton, Ohio State
15. Deone Walker, Kentucky
16. J.J. Pegues, Ole Miss
17. Jordan Phillips, Maryland
18. C.J. West, Indiana
19. Vernon Broughton, Texas
20. Sai'Vion Jones, LSU

Kenneth Grant pro day. Woah

• Pro Day: Bench press: 27 reps, 40-yard dash : 5.07, Vertical jump: 31″, Broad jump: 8-9 1/2, 3-Cone drill: 7.65, 20-yard shuttle: 4.76

That's the guy I want, right there.

He and Jones would wreck souls together. Perfect complimentary players.

Would be a great pick at 63 or 66

Changing this a bit but still like the players:

Tier 1

1. Derrick Harmon
2. Walter Nolan
3. Kenneth Grant

Tier 2
4. Josh Farmer
5. TJ Sanders
6. Shemar Stewart

Tier 3
7. Darius Alexander (age is dropping him. 25 year old rookie)
8. Vernon Broughton
9. Ty Robinson
10. Omar Norman-Lott

I took out Alfred Collins and Tyleik Willaims bc I want guys who will be a force rushing the passer and I don’t think those 2 provide enough pass rush.

I don’t have him here but Elijah Roberts is technically a DE but I would draft him to play inside bc of his season measurables and elite athleticism/power. Would put him in tier 2 if he was strictly a DT.

I like Deone Walker out of Kentucky in tier 2 also. He is a 1 tech that has pass rushing chops and would be a great fit next to Chris jones. His negatives coming out are very similar to what was talked about with Chris Jones that made him fall into round 2. I think we did an excellent job with Chris and could do the same here. Especially with Chris leadership on the DL. I also think we have a top level DL coach in Joe Cullen. He could be worked in slowly behind Mike Penell. Conditioning, effort, and technique are his big knocks, and like I said very similar to Chris. But he is mountain strong and has really good movement. And his length plays well to get into pass lanes.
