Who is our next first rounder?

If Dorsett could go round 1, Jeff Thomas can definitely go round 1 with a good season

I like the comparison, but I feel PD had better straight line speed and improved his route running and pass catching as he entered the draft. We’ll see if jt4 has the same work ethic.

With our most recent first rounders, David Njoku, Artie Burns and Eric Flowers off to the NFL with varying degrees of success, who can we look to and assume has a great chance to be our next first rounder? Who could we see having the requisite freak talent and mega production to warrant that next first pick?

JT4 is there talent wise but he just doesn't have the weight numbers yet. And even with a Belitnikoff type year its hard to see him being a first rounder after one big year.

The LBs have the tenure and good production, but I don't see any of them being a Bush, White or even a Mark Barron type athleticism.

I could see the TEs making it if the Enos offense is as advertised and our QBs flourished. Not a promise but encouraging pace to that conclusion.

if Pope pops this year he has the talent and the kind of offense to build a great resume. Same for Rousseau and Harvey.

I would have to think our best bets over the next few years would be:

2019 - Willis. The little bit of possibility and chatter could see him go to Patriots at 32 or a trade up candidate. 2/10
2020 - JT4 needs a 2000 yard season IMO and awards, probably team success too. 2/10
2020 - Finley. Yep super long shot. But hes got the athleticism and one big year........but very unlikely. 1/10
2021 - Garvin. Contingent on him staying through his Sr year and building on two very solid years, I think he would have a great shot at round 1. 5/10
2021 - If Jon Ford has really put it together, shows the production with his size and power, I could see him sneak in ala GWillis - 2/10
2021 - I think Mallory is the surer thing based on athleticism, but Jordan has the total package eve n if he lacks a little athletically. 6/10
2022 - This is the year I see a big punchline of possibilities - Pope, Lingard, Phillips, Harvey, a QB?, A safety? A llot of things can happen here, but Im feeling too lazy to keep going.

What do you think gents?

I think you have too much free time and there are more worthwhile things to do than project possible draft picks years in advance. Suggest you do some intensive exercise so you will be too exhausted to write another foolish post.

JT4 has 10 times the hands that Phillip Dorset did. They will test about the same 40 time. It’s jus that JT4 gets tired quicker so PD looks faster. But look at how JT4 always be wide open on his deep routes. That’s bc he’s stupid fast

Greg is going to be a 1st rounder, just wait on it. Brevin I think is a day 1 guy. Very possible for JT to be a first round guy with a solid year and run a sub 4.3 at the combine, speed kills.

Thomas isnt going to run a sub 4.3. He’s explosive, but not a true track speed guy.

He’s got great separation too. Dorsett only knew how to go deep. If Miami had a qb the last two years, Thomas has 1000 yards and 10 tds easily maybe more.

1 of these 3 will be our next first rounder... Gerald Willis, Joe Jackson, or Mike Jackson

JT4 is similiar to Brown from Ok, so its not far fetched with a good season he's a 1st rounder. He could have dominated last season if we had half a QB under center.
