NFL Draft Thread Rounds 4-7

Looks like a pick to pacify Pegula with his Pitts connection?

Im glad we took a qb. Hell, I dont mind if we take Chdd undrafted. We need 10 qbs here til we find our future franchise qb

How about Bucky Hodges?

[Albany,n.y.]

Cincy just took S Mike Tyson. Sammy better watch his ears after the catch when we play the Bengals.

ESPN was showing Iron Mike highlights. I loved it.

Wasnt sure about what Pegs Pitts connection. Thanks

I wouldn't mind DE, LB, S, or RB depth with the last pick. Maybe move down a bit for one or two more picks before the end of the draft if someone wants to move up.

Part of me wants the Dolphins to draft Chad Kelly, just to **** with Bills fans

[YardRat]

LA took OT Sam Tevi...I would have liked to get him.

[feldspar]

Cardale Jones is a waste of time, ask me.

Need to move on from him...

[YardRat]

**** me, and there goes S Xavier Woods to Dallas.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Xavier Woods gone. I guarantee there's some disappointment in the front office right now.

[Mike13]

Hodges is still on the board for whatever reason

[YardRat]

And our last pick in the 2017 draft is...

[YardRat]

...another commercial...

LBer Tanner Vallejo

[Scumbag College]

Seems like Milano and Vallejo are depth LBs that should probably be considered special teamers. High effort and character guys. I don't know too much about them to be honest, but they needed LBs that fit this system and maybe one of them pans out.

Tanner Vallejo:

Strengths

Team-first player who played through severe wrist pain for almost the entire season. Sophomore season proved how productive he could be when allowed to play in the middle. Instinctive and quick to anticipate play flow. Takes aggressive contain angle when needed. Has a good feel for most efficient path to the ball. Maintains run fits and looks to spill the ball wide whenever possible. Plays with reactive athleticism to break down and quickly redirect his weight into runners trying to cut back. Shows a willingness to take on lead blockers with a leveraged shoulder. Good play speed with range to chase from sideline to sideline. Athletic enough to handle deep Cover-2 drops if called on.

Weaknesses

Angular frame with very short arms and may not be able to carry much more functional mass. Has never matched production total from two seasons ago. Below average play strength. Will struggle to unlock from a strong punch and fight back into the play. Could have issues leveraging his gap in the NFL. Can be washed away if he doesn't trigger downhill and stay one step ahead of blockers. Lacks thud behind his pads as a hitter. Has had issues sliding off of tackles. Has had to deal with injuries over the last two seasons and had to shut it down this season due to worsening of his wrist injury suffered in September.

Draft Projection Round 7-PFA

Sources Tell Us "You might as well throw out this year because the guy was in a ton of pain all year long. It was obvious that something was wrong early in the year. I hate going all the way back to his sophomore year but I think you have to at least look at that tape to get a feel for who he might be able to become." -- NFC regional scout
NFL Comparison Dominique Alexander

Bottom Line

Vallejo's outstanding production his sophomore season is one of the things keeping him alive in scouting circles. From a physical standpoint, he's an undersized inside linebacker who lacks the long levers needed to keep offensive linemen off of him. His instincts and third-down ability are plusses, but he'll need to find the right 3-4 fit or attempt to move to an outside linebacker role in a 4-3. Vallejo has NFL backup potential.

ST aces that fit the hybrid SS/OLB role I talked about previously. McDermott just stated they see Milano in that role of OLB.

Knew down deep they were looking for this type of player. Tweeners that can really run and are productive. They will sign more of this ilk over the next 24 hours. Only a couple D's in the NFL use these types like McDermott.

Ah ok...I didn't listen to anything McD has said today.
