DRAFT THEME 2020: Get big and fat as all get-out
Roster Imperatives
1) CB – Obviously our biggest need. Compounded by needing more than one. Specifically, an outside player with speed and athleticism to offset slow cagey Peterson.
2) C – A violent burly mammoth who uses mass and power to win battles, not just a user of leverage and a shuffler of feet; just once I'd like to have someone better at standing their ground than squirting out and pestering LBs.
3) CB – Versatile outside /inside player to push Sullivan and keep Dantzler off the field tweeting.
Roster Needs (current, not down the road)
NT – A powerful blubberous immovable one-dimensional run stuffer for short yardage, goal line.
S – Rangy free safety to compete with Bynum, give us a chance to move on from Smith, sooner than later.
TE – Big and heavy with big and heavy hands for the red zone / short yardage, and to bump 6'7" punter-bodied Davidson off the roster.
WR – What we don’t have is a hefty (not skinny) big bodied WR with some physicality, catch radius and vertical.
ILB – Beefy tone setting blocker-stacker to back-up our small ILBs and skinny back-ups
Nice job on bolding certain attributes. But I think Kwesi likes svelte. He love svelte. Wishes it were basketball. He sees big and heavy as undisciplined, even a heathen lifestyle. He got rid of our ONLY blubberous player (Pierce). Phillips, the initial signed heavy, is a compact sort. ACL Taylor has a mystery weight. Hicks looks trim at ILB. Sullivan could use a steak dinner. On offense, Mundt is a bit light in the pants. And the OL guys are certainly not big city fire hydrants.
- Davis at 12 to platoon with Tomlinson initially or a top CB. Read Sauce has been known to allow "slivers of sunshine" between himself and the receiver [;)]
- At least one of the second tier CBs might be around in the 2nd, food for thought.
- Center, agree on mass. Birk was 320 lbs a generation ago, let's move the needle a touch to 330.
Good point on WR.
Some article said Smith's contract is structured to suggest this is his last year in Minny. Don't know if that's valid, but if so S could end up being at the top of all-time 'Most Barren Position'.
Tough guy WR is Drake London, who will probably be available in late 1st ( I know nothing). Has also been described as a basketballer type which is Kwesi's kale jam.
But freaking Tredwell (and Nkeal Harry) ruined me on that approach.
I've seen mocks where we trade back, pick london with our 1st, and then cb and iol our two 2nds...i'd go with that....
That would meet a lot of needs for sure. London dominated Pac 12 d's before his injury, but I'm not sure what that means anymore. (Thanks, Larry Scott) Not sure if he has the requisite speed for NFL. Put the floor at maybe 4.4s for the 40?
It's moot though if Sauce is there at 12.
