Full Version: What are your 3 safety net players?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
With Myles Jack free falling, and Leonard Floyd sky rocketing my 3 players are:


Ramsey

Tunsil

Floyd
Why would you want a left tackle at #5 after we got a veteran for that job in free agency? Leremy Tunsil is going to be a Week 1 starter somewhere - probably San Diego.

 

DeForest Buckner has always been regarded as a top 10 pick. Leonard Floyd is just beginning to hear that hype. Obviously Floyd is not the safer pick.

Ramsey

Bosa

Trade (Floyd or Lawson)

#1.) Jalen Ramsey, Florida State, DB

 

http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000650550

He was ranked as the most explosive players by Chad Reuter from NFL.com

 

He wrote the following;

 

Few defensive back prospects in recent years have come out of college with <a>Ramsey</a>'s combination of aggressive play and pure athleticism. Sure, he looked like quite the explosive athlete at the combine with a 41-1/2 inch vertical and a crazy-good 11-3 broad jump. But his tape shows a tenacity and ultra-confident nature that is necessary to succeed in the NFL. Scouts often refer to defensive linemen converting speed to power when rushing the passer, but it seems like <a>Ramsey</a> does that when lining up a receiver on a screen play or down the sideline. Whether his new team lines him up at corner or safety, <a>Ramsey</a> will certainly make an impact.

 

He doesn't come with off field problems or questions like you might have with Tunsil or Bosa.  You don't have to worry about whether or not he'll be ready to play by week 1 or suffer another serious re-injury like Myles Jack.

He seems to me to be the safest pick in the draft, especially when you look at the fact that he killed it at the combine.  He's potential hasn't been reached, an NFL Hands coach will work with him.. he'll be special!


Bucs QB Winston said he would be willing to take a pay cut if the Bucs would draft him, that says a lot right there...

#2.) Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State, RB

 

I have him at number 2 not because he's a need, because he clearly isn't with Chris Ivory, TJ Yeldon, and shoelace on the roster.  That being said he might be the best blocking HB in the NFL on week 1 & he can run too.  He also is very passionate about winning, and getting as much carries as possible to help his team acheive that.  He is a running back that can take a lot of snaps, and every down back.  He is the only RB worthy of the 1st round but worthy of a Top 10 pick.  Heck he might even been the closest player to Skittles..

#3.) Joey Bosa, Ohio State, DE


I know he didn't run great at the combine, and many see him as a product of great coaching masked by surrounding talent.  They say he's all effort and less natural skill, that he wont have much potential to improve upon, and that his last year was a slump.  When you watch the film on him, you can't help but to think man this guy would be great at LE for the Jaguars...
But what about the number of interceptions? I want a ball hawk.

Deion Sanders said "one of the baddest boys coming out in the draft" -referring to Jalen Ramsey....
What do we mean by saftey net players?
I think the OP meant 3 players that you feel will be great no matter what...

Great wherever they go or just for the Jags?

Do what you want.. no rules here!

Tweet from Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) - Nutty draft, but I think it starts:

1 Goff

2 Wentz

3 Stanley

4 Elliott

Miami mourns. Jax tries to deal.

This isn't the first time I've seen someone say we try to trade if Ramsey is on the board. I mean we have a choice of Bosa/Ramsey or Jack if they're not worried about injury. Trading down seems odd.
For the draft as a whole, not just the Jags, the safety net players for me are...

 

1. Ramsey

2. Tunsil

3. Elliott

 

Note, this is not what best suits the Jags.

Nailed it!  My top 3 safety players all went in the Top 5... guess I wasn't the only one who rated them high!

Notice my ranking, the Chargers passed on the best guy in the draft.. wow still shocked!

Almost everyone that posted on here had Ramsey on their list..
