I’m into RB3 in on day 3. Not that Corum will slide that far.
That Ravens in the second prediction does seem like something that could happen.
Bah, this fumbling thing of Warren’s is a phase. Never had a problem with it in college or high school. Corum’s been excellent too though, definitely a strength.
Yeah I’d say 3rd round on Sainristil too. And 2nd is more likely than 4th imo.
The conditions did suck last weekend but it was like a guy trying to hold the soap in a prison scene of a comedy flick.
Yeah but everyone was fumbling. Najee fumbled a couple of times too. Just nasty conditions.
I think both are going to go in the backend of round 2. I’m presuming that Mikey will run as fast as he plays though.
I worry more about his size than his speed. The measurements will be important.
To the Chargers to replace ekeler
I also don’t think Warren has Corum’s power. Not that Warren is a push over but you have to tackle Blake with purpose. There’s a little Jamal Anderson in there. Not quite as heavy but even lower to the ground.
Mikey? That could be but I think a trump card of a lot of offenses is speed in the slot and it only takes one contender thinking that’s the need their defense needs to address.
Mikey will be viewed striclty as a nickel…could see a round drop just like Branch.
Jourdan Lewis went pick #92
Amazing if we could get him at our pick #91 …fitting as he would replace former 3rd rounder Will Harris as the dime back here.

If we don’t spend the first two picks on the trenches, I’ll eat my Dan Campbell jersey. I swear it!
The value of the nickel continues to rise. He may make it to round 3 for sure. I think a contender may pop him back of round 2.
And honestly I think he’s every bit the player that Branch is at Nickel. Now there skills are different and as you mentioned you don’t get the versatility.
Mike may struggle some with size and Branch with speed but I think both are going to be high end options to defending the slot for quite a while.

agree, you nailed it
Maybe a little bit it’s a strength for both
I don’t think he has Branch’s preternatural instincts, but it’s certainly not a weakness for him. And I think he’s a far better athlete.
I’m talking the thunder thighs not upper body strength. Corum’s build is cartoonish and the play supports it.

I’m so very happy with Branch IMO he does have the issue that my Bama Buddy pointed to. Teams are going have some success when they match him up with speed and force him to open up. Branch is smart and knows this IMO which is why I’m he gets so physical at the stem on crossers. I think the majority of his holds have been on those plays.
My main hope for Branch is that the tackling reverts to his special Alabama levels. 6 missed tackles would be acceptable for many but I don know if he missed 6 in his entire Alabama career.
I agree, lots of wear and tear and is closer to a Mike Hart behind a dominant OL IMO. Curious to see how Edwards does with more touches next year!
