Yahoo: Grant Delpit's NFL draft stock is falling
One of the players whose standing among NFL scouts has slowly slipped throughout the year has been LSU safety Grant Delpit. Coming into the season, Delpit was seen as a potential top 10 pick. Like LSU’s defense as a whole, there have been some concerns about Delpit’s game that have popped up throughout the year. The most notable of those issues is tackling.
In Yahoo Sports’ article on which players’ draft stock is rising and falling, Delpit winds up in the latter category due mostly to his high number of missed tackles. Eric Edholm of Yahoo points out that Pro Football Focus has calculated 19 missed tackles on the season for Delpit, which is the 10th most in the country. Against the Alabama Crimson Tide, Delpit missed four tackles. While he can make some great plays in coverage, Delpit just hasn’t been able to get opponents to the ground on a consistent basis. Because of that, Edholm compares Delpit to another safety who was recently take in the middle of the first round.
Could be a situation similar to Greedy Williams.

If he fell to the end of the first, that would be a great pickup. I even say this knowing he hasnt taken that next step this year. His potential is there though.

His tackling issues are extremely worrisome, especially as a safety.

Hell no.
He looks terrible and we already have great Safeties.

Vonn Bell, Marcus Williams. Who are you replacing?

They've been there for two years too. This isn't a fluke down year in that category. He just isn't a good tackler and never really has been

He went to lsu so he's def better than anything we have now

Marcus Williams and Vonn Bell are one of the top safety tandems in the league this year. I don't see where there's a need for another high pick at either safety position.

Honestly, no.
Im a huge LSU fan. Delpit cant tackle.
I think he's too light and needs to add about 15 lbs.
I honestly wouldnt draft him. Hurts to say it, but last year looks like a flash in the pan. He's not good.

No. OL help. WR help, at some point.

Nope
Posted on 11/19/19 at 4:57 pm to brewdrees
We need OL and WR talent
Posted on 11/19/19 at 5:00 pm to brewdrees
Go WR in the first unless there’s a QB you feel is there for the taking you like, unless teddy is the future. I like the WR route personally. We need help desperately there.

I’d rather Fulton

I'd rather Justin Jefferson if he rises to he a late first/2nd rounder
Posted on 11/19/19 at 6:36 pm to brewdrees
No. We have absolutely no need for a safety and he's been legit bad this year
