Call me crazy but Mims would have helped our run game more than Dobbins would have. Just the threat of his speed would clear out defenders and he was probably the best blocking WR in this class. I don’t think the Ravens had him high on their board or he would have been the pick at 55. Really confusing to pick Dobbins that high. People are going to justify picking him that high because he’s going to produce, but our scheme is going to be the reason not entirely him.

That is one giant backyard, Eric walks out of the house and keeps walking, walking, walking, walking and finally is at his fence.
Also... we now need Harbaugh's Dog vs Bill Belichick's Dog next year.

Madubuike was literally dominant vs LSU. However everyone around him sucked the whole game. But LSU had problems blocking him all day.
and that's against 2 of the best interior OL from this draft class too and one of the best tackles also

Nope.Curious to know if some of the older folks here ever gave an A grade to Yamon Figurs or Devard Darling.
Might put things in perspective

The more I read you guys on this forum and listen to PFF guys in podcasts, the less I trust PFF. They may go to hell lol

The theme of the last several posts has been around Madubuike. This pick has the potential to be the biggest pleasant surprise of our draft.
This team has not been able to generate a pass rush up the middle in seemingly forever. Neither Williams nor Pierce have been effective in that part of their game. If Madubuike can bring that it takes this defense to the next level.
The additions at DE will also improve our overall ability to get to the QB. I think you will see our edge improve their ability to get pressure based on teams concerns about our front 3. Throw in Queen and his ability as a blitzer and no significant changes in the secondary and this D will be vastly improved in 2021

haha if you'd seen me in the draft threads going feral about madubuike it wouldnt have been a surprise lol - he's been my "guy" since very early on in the process and I had a 1st round grade on him

Wasnt Queens most involved game but he had some solid flashes. Did a good job blowing up a screen and making a sure tackle before the line to gain. Was a very effective blitzer and QB spy. Forced 2 throw away 1 of which was intentional grounding. Was great in coverage per usual. Was awarded a sack on the stat sheet but I must've missed it. I didnt see it and I watched the whole game
Watching Utah St film now and I think this is the game where it all starts coming together for him. Hes fast and instinctive in this game. Flies all around the field and had multiple stops and TFLs thanks to his range

Watching him now myself and I can see why. One of the best DTs in the SEC and hes always mentioned as such by commentators and other coaches when asked who they're worried about. Teams scheme around him. That says a lot
he's borderline unblockable in the passing game when you leave him 1v1 - especially when he's lined up over the center - often he's mostly winning the snap by the time they even get into their stance because he's so quick off the snap - he's really good at getting into half a man, and then getting hands off him and shedding
to me, outside of some consistency issues, the only real negative to him is his lack of length which means that he can get occasionally locked out by really long IOL but it's not over when that happens either - when he does get locked out, i love the effort and fight to get himself back in the down
but more often than not he's too fast and too physical for OL to get hands on in any effective way

Ya I think hes gonna be really good for us on passing downs coming in for Wolfe. I'm really starting to like our Dline rotation now. We have some of everything and he can develop into a real monster. Could end up being what Jernigan could have been had he been better with coaches and more consistent. I'm really excited about him

I can say that I probably wouldn’t have. Yamon figurs was like a John hightower type, he never looked like a receiverCurious to know if some of the older folks here ever gave an A grade to Yamon Figurs or Devard Darling.
