Willie young and Thurmond and Dakota Watson all visiting tomorrow

Quote:As said, gimme a OG that played well despite playing behind a bad QB. Thats the smarter move. 

If the guard is playing behind the quarterback, it probably says a lot about why the QB's struggling.

Willie Young is someone I would expect. Won't break the bank but could be an effective rusher.

I am happy about Young and Thurmond

Thurmond would be a nice add, Watson has potential, Young I'm not so thrilled about.

Anyone have insight on Watson? Not familiar with him.

From Ourlads:

 

2010 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about DEKODA WATSON: Florida State, 6013 240 4.58. Three-year starter. Very good athletic ability and competitiveness. Good initial read and react. Good technique for the most part, but struggles to use his hands as he tends to get locked up by blockers. He has some explosiveness and pop taking on a block, he just lacks the bulk to hold up. Quick off the edge and could close. Has some wasted movement in reactions but is quick downhill. Has a burst in pursuit. Covers a lot of ground in both coverage and in pursuit. Excellent range. Plays well in man cover drills. Decent in zone drops and quick to break and drive on the throw. Recovers well when out of position. Good closing speed. Overall an undersized player that might have a chance as a situational and special teams guy. Has the athletic ability you look for. May project to a weakside linebacker in a 4-3 scheme. Active and motivated in his play. Over career had 184 tackles, 32 1/2 for loss, 11 1/2 sacks, and 8 passes broken up. Had a 10-11 1/2 broad jump, 40 inch vertical jump, and 1.56/10 at the Combine. OSR:1/19. Fourth/fifth round. (A- 32 3/4, H-8 3/4, BP-24, SS-4.12).

WOOOOOOOT!

Sounds legit on Thurmond. Nice signing.

Getlin might have "inbound for a visit" confused with "signed".  He's reporting all the guys that we've heard have a visit as already signed.

Three Sen Derrick Marks level signings. 

 

(not saying they will END up as good, but when he signed - these are of that level) 

 

Not much to see here. 

 

Depth kinda talent. 

Are these actual signings being reported, or just visits? Maybe I'm just too used to being a Jaguars fan, but it seems unusual to be signing 3-4 guys on the first day.

<p class="">Clarification on Walter Thurmond and Willie Young: The two are visiting Jacksonville.

<p class=""> 

<p class="">Yea, he jumped the gun.  They're just visiting for now.

#SocialMediaProblems

OK TMD....

 

Now I will agree that we overpaid for our new OG, esp after seeing this contract

<p style="font-size:14px;">The #Ravens and OT Eugene Monroe’s deal is officially done, per source. Five year, $37.5M.

<p style="font-size:14px;"> 

<p style="font-size:14px;"> 

<p style="font-size:14px;">P.S. - But with the money we have to spare I am still happy about signing him.
