@AZ_ what are your thoughts on Antoine Brooks, Brandon Jones and Isaiah Simmons as potential first round picks for us? If we operate out of the assumption that Delpit will be gone and we still want to go for a Safety in the first round do you recken any of Those guys could be worth a pick?
Sorry I missed this!
Antoine Brooks:
I liked Savage quite a bit more than him, and I had Savage as a mid-first because of how much of an athlete he is as well as his versatility. Prove it year, but he doesn't quite flash the same athletic chops.
I'd put him in the third round range right now, but he's a playmaker who has every bit the versatility of Savage, but is pretty much their best defensive player so it will be tough for him to ball out with Savage gone.
Brandon Jones:
Angle-taking is a concern for me, as is tackling. This new scheme seems to prefer more athletic safeties, so with some improvement I'd imagine he'll be in the bucket of guys the Browns are looking at. He's a stud athletically, though struggles translating that to technique, results in some meh games.
Solid player, but isn't more than a mid-round pick for me right now.
Isaiah Simmons:
This is the guy I think could vault himself into a top prospect. Led a deep Clemson team in tackles and pass breakups, but beyond that he's 225 and well over 6' and could project at multiple positions.
He's not a true safety, he's not a true LB. But if he tests well he should be highly sought after by this team who could move him all over the board because of how good their corners and Randall are.
They claim he's a 4.3 guy, I'll believe that when I see it.
