EJW Mock Draft "after" Rob Ryan Hiring
We aren't trading Harper, we will restructure his contract. Ivory we may get a 5th at best. I think we go corner in the first with Rhodes or Banks.
I have a draft for that happening.
The reason i went with that is because Roman doesn't fit as a SS in Ryans scheme. It may seem like it but the safeties in Ryan's scheme are supposed to be interchangeable.
Roman is strictly an in the box safety and fits better in the 4-3 role than the 3-4. U need a playmaker @ SS in the 3-4 and Roman isn't that. I also didn't go that route because having the worst safety tandem in the league is no small order. U have to put 2 new guys back there....u have too...but here is my draft for if we keep Roman
1st Xavier Rhodes - CB
2nd Tavarres King -WR
3rd Brandon Williams -NT
4th Zavier Gooden - WILB
4th David Bass - DE/OLB - Animal. I compare him to T-sizzle. HEs got good bend, good hand usage, creates turnovers. And can stand up or put his hand in the dirt. Giving us a 3/4 to 4/3 look instantly
5th Terron Armstead - LT - The only guy who held my 4th round choice David Bass in check@ the east west shrine game
5th Kyle Juszczyk TE/FB/
6th Cooper Taylor-SS
This is if we decide to keep the same safety tandem.
FS Jenkins/IAQ
SS Harper/Taylor
The only thing i don't like about this is its the Same safety tandem that has been not too good for the last 3 years. Do u want to give them yet another chance..when the back end on this defense is much more important?
