Holy shit, I just realized who Damarious Randall is:
View: https://twitter.com/OldPlayerTweets/status/972261782646673408
and we move back 13 spots for both picks
Randle has been really inconsistent but he has moments of being elite. He also, potentially, could become a safety in the very near future. He is has been very good as a ball hawk.
This is what nfl.com has for his draft grade.
PICK ANALYSIS:
- SELECTED BY: Packers
- ROUND: 1
- PICK (OVERALL): 30 (30)
"Randall is what today's free safety is all about. He is by far the best cover safety in this draft. Randall can play man-to-man; he has cornerback-level cover skills. You give up some physicality, but his coverage ability is where the NFL is going. Remember Jimmie Ward was a first-rounder last year (to the 49ers) with a similar skill set." -- Mike Mayock

That sure as hell makes #4 interesting. I've been set on Minkah for awhile now.Wow. That really makes you wonder if the Browns might actually plan to convert him.....

That would also explain why G.B. was willing to move him. Ha-Ha Clinton Dix is both the most amazing name in the NFL, but also a top three free safety. If Randall is an average starting outside corner but an above average free safety who is out of position, that trade is a win-win for everybody.
And how bad was Brett Hundley last year to make Kizer look like a clear upgrade?
Rumor has it that G-Will is working on a new defensive package dubbed The Hellfire Angel where the angel lines up, as expected, 25-45 yards back, but the wrinkle here is that in this package, there's another player behind him, often beginning the play outside of the back of the endzone.
In fact I was able to go to a practice session and get an inside look at some of the most unique blitzes that Gregg is going to try this year, including an especially aggressive look out of our base 4-3-2-1-1 the Hellfire Angel package. This is the game changer: we just say fuck it and all line up in a straight line over center. The theory is that if the Hellfire Angel (the last dude) times it right, he pushes into the Angel, who then runs into the next dude, and so on, and if everyone else times it right, we can create a lot of force to eventually drive into Shelton just as the ball is snapped. The center doesn't stand a chance at this point, it's physics.
