Which players considered @ #11 would be a disappointment for you?

Mine-

Marlon Humphrey CB- all the Saints buzz about him scares me. I see too much Dee Milliner flop potential. I don't like reading things like "Raw, needs development" for an 11.

McCaffery- I love him as a player like many. I just don't see the value. Reggie was not a flop but didn't perform up to #2 production expectation. He would have been a fantastic 2nd Rd pick. McCaffery exactly the same for me. I cannot imagine him being utilized much more than Reggie.

Any Quarterback- none of them measure up to #11 IMO. If we are drafting an heir apparent I would like a guy I could be all in for a lot more than any in this class.

Not a disappointment but I would have a little angst about Jonathan Allen. He has the shoulder questions and I wonder how much some of the Bama players are bumped up by the overall team D performance. He's also not a perfect fit that they will have to find a way to scheme in.

Also not a disappointment but worry would be Haason Reddick for me. I wonder about these lighter weight speed guys that win with athleticism. I question if he can have enough bulk to hold the edge. I'd call it the Mingo-Dion Jordan-Jarvis Jones fear.

Humphrey. Bama CBs are tapped out and this dude sucks at finding the ball. I'm sick of DBs that look lost with the ball in the air. Too many penalties.

taco would be a bit of a disappointment. Most other edge guys, i'd be willing to at least try to be optimistic about. I like barnett, think its a fairly safe pick, i just question his ceiling.

Reddick is actually pretty strong for his size. But Taco Charlton at 11 would have me like meh. And OL at 11 too. Or QB.

Milliners issue was health. Maybe he would've been a talent bust, but he didn't have a chance because he couldn't stay healthy, my concerns with Humphrey are strictly technique related--and specifically his body position at the catch point. Guy can be an all world player if he can fix that, he does everything else well--that's just a hard thing to fix

Nonetheless I agree he would be a worrisome pick. Agree on QB and RB, disagree on the last two. 4 former Bama defenders were all pros last season, it's time to put that myth to bed

OJ Howard
Humphery
A QB


Taco/Burrito or whatever his name is.

Corey Davis or really any WR to be honest... maybe Mike Williams though.

I agreee except for Reddick. Jarvis Jones ran a 4.9 at the combine and Reddick ran a 4.52 lol. Jones' problem is that he's slow as shite and can't cover. I don't think Reddick is comparable to Mingo or Jordan at all they are 6'4 and 6'6 Reddick is 6'1 which should allow him to play more of an OLB role who can come off the edge or drop back in coverage.

I don't think they use Reddick as a edge rusher only though. he actually has real LB skill and can cover. This is why I prefer him to take the ellerbee spot and rush as a situational player.

Reddick should excel in standup, he walked on at temple as a corner back

I might prefer another player over Howard but I could see him being a clear cut BPA. I couldn't go disappointment over a guy that has potential to be the best TE in the NFL. Not seeing it in the forecast but wouldn't be bummed.

Lots of defensive talent so I would only have a sad over a offensive pick.

Agree with the no offense point of view. I feel like taking OJ Howard would be kind of a waste because the saints probably won't want to pay him in 5 years like they probably didn't want to pay cooks. Just my 2 cents.

Neither would be awful but neither lives up to #11

I honestly would be disappointed if we took Foster. He may be talented but talent don't mean jack when you can't get on the field due to being in trouble/suspended. Ask the Browns about that with Josh Gordon.

I wouldn't want Humphrey either. There are plenty of talented cornerbacks in this draft where we shouldn't have to worry about taking one that can't find the ball.
