Piggy Kiper looks for a SAFE space

Oinks Everyone!  Yeah…I know there are still some good Running Backs left, but honestly I started to think about how important this draft is for us and I kind of got cold trotters…I need a safe space now….

So what a perfect time to talk about Safeties!  It’s not a great year for safeties but when you start getting past day 1 some very good talent is there.  So I decided to take a look at 10 names to keep in mind.  This isn’t a ranking.  This is just 10 names.  So without further crisping of the bacon here are ten names at safety to keep an eye on.

10.  Xavier McKinney, Alabama.  The Top Dog

McKinney is the highest rated safety in this draft by most draft “experts”  So why do I have him at “10”?  Because I am a maniac who’s been trapped in his own apartment for three weeks – that’s why!!!  You really can’t go wrong with McKinney.  He does a little bit of everything.  There is this trend in most recent mocks where the Dolphins select McKinney at 18.  Usually that scenario involves the top 4 Offensive Tackles going off the board before 18 and the Dolphins deciding to wait until 26 to address the OL.  McKinney would be a great player, but can you imagine taking an Alabama Safety with the pick we traded our previous first round Alabama Safety for?  Maybe this one won’t be an ass!

9.   Julian Blackmon, Utah.  The Swiss Army Knife

I don’t expect Blackmon to go in day 1 or 2, so if we find ourselves into day 3 and we haven’t selected a safety, names like Blackmon pop up.  Utah also has two pretty good safeties.  But, calling Blackmon a safety is selling him a little short.  He’s a little more versatile than most safeties mentioned. here.  He played CB early in his career.  He might be able to do at the next level.  If you end up selecting Blackmon on Day 3 and he ends up being a rotational dime package sort of player, it’s a pretty good pick.

8.  Terrell Burgess, Utah.  The Clone of the Swiss Army Knife

You didn’t have to wait long for the second Utah Safety.  Where is our buddy DRG to tell us all about these two.  Well…I guess you will have to settle for Piggy Kiper’s observations unless he shows up.  Burgess is, like Blackmon, a versatile safety.  Not too long ago, I would have had Burgess pegged as a day 3 pick as well.  But he’s one of those prospects who’s stock is rising at the right time.  What do the scouts like about Burgess – you guessed it: VERSATILTY!  He lined up at Utah at both safety positions, CB and nickel.  He can be physical in the box and has pretty good coverage skills.  Will he break into Day 2 of the draft?  Maybe not…Burgess is a bit undersized.

7.  Ashtyn Davis, Cal.  The Speedster

This is one of the safeties that really caught my attention recently.  What is the one thing that stands out about Davis….SPEED.  So the story with Davis is that he went to Cal on a track scholarship and then walked on to the football team.  Plain and simple:  Davis can move.  So how fast did Davis run the 40 yard dash at the combine….well…he didn’t run…sorry to psyche you up for that.  Anyway, trust me he’s fast.  Probably the 2nd best safety on the list in terms of the amount of field he can cover.  And don’t think because he’s new to football and a track guy, he’s not physical.  His technique is probably not where it should be, but Davis can be very physical and doesn’t shy away from contact.

6.  Brandon Jones, Texas.  The Hitter

This isn’t really a name you are hearing a lot about.  But he is probably worth talking about.  Jones is a physical safety who will probably be limited to string safety type and play around the line of scrimmage in the NFL.  He’s not really known for his coverage skills.  I think Jones is a day 3 pick.  But he’s good at what he does: finishing tackles all over the field and punishing ball carriers.  Jones’ ball skills are lacking, so he’s best when the action is in front of him…as we all are…

5.  Grant Delpit, LSU. The Elite Talent

Oh Grant…what has happened in 2020?  Prior to the 2020 season people were saying that Delpit might be the best DB LSU has produced, better than Eric Reid, better than Patrick Peterson, better than Jamal Adams and better than Honey Badger.   People were ready to guaranty his top 5 status.  What happened?  Well – he tackles like he’s wrestling jello.  Delpit is the worst tackler on this list.  That said – I love Grant Delpit, and even though his sloppy tackling drops his stock, I still think he’s first round talent.  It’s eveything else he does that warrants a first round pick.  He’s a tall 6-3 and very rangy.  He is the probably the best safety in coverage in this draft. Delpit will shut down your tight end and blitz and pick off your QB.  He’s really an outstanding talent….who happens to be a bad tackler. But poor tackling skills aside, Delpit is the kind of playmaker who can take a defense to the next level.  I would love to see him in Aqua….In fact, I would even accept him in color-rush orange.  Sometimes great talents have notable flaws.

4.  Kyle Dugger, Lenoir-Rhyne.  The Athlete

That’s not a typo and I don’t know where Lenoir-Rhyne is either.  For all I care, their mascot might be a petri dish.  What’s important is that Dugger was a man among boys when he was there.  I have no idea how he ended up there.  He’s not what you expect from a small school prospect.  In fact, he’s an athletic freak with a rare combination of size, speed and strength.  I don’t know how he ended up anywhere other than the SEC, but when you are an athletic freak who plays for the Petri Dishes, you play defense, offense and special teams and Dugger did just that.  You might be completely unsurprised to learn that Dugger won All South Atlantic Conference for a few years in a row.  No kidding?  The second team will be selling insurance in a year.  I am honestly more surprised to find out there is a South Atlantic Conference.  Dugger is obviously a big fish in a small bowl.  We are about to find out how he performs in a big tank.  But this guy may be one of the true gems of this draft and will probably be off the board by the time Day 2 ends.

3.  Jeremy Chinn.   Southern Illinois. The Underrated

Want to stick with the small school theme?  I do.  Chinn is a heck of a prospect.  His career numbers at Southern Illinois are hard to ignore:  243 tackles, 13 interceptions and 6 forced fumbles.  He was very productive in college.  Chinn is a tall 6-3 and  221 pounds. He has excellent ball-hawking skills.  Chinn’s vertical jump was an eye opening 41 inches at the combine.  Some scouts think Chinn might be more of a coverage linebacker in the NFL, but given his top notch man coverage skills, I’m not so sure about that.  Chinn like Dugger, has to make a big jump from small school to the NFL.  But Chinn, did impress at the Senior Bowl when he played with the other big school prospects.

2.  Tanner Muse.  Clemson.  The Overachiever.

Make no mistake about it, Tanner Muse is not a top 10 safety prospect in this upcoming draft.  He doesn’t have the athletic ability to go very high.  Muse, probably went unnoticed by many while playing on the same field as Isiah Simmons, but Muse did a lot of important things for a very good Clemson team.  Like Chinn, Muse projects as coverage linebacker as well, but in his case, it may be more likely.  at 6-2, 227 pounds, he has the size.  When you get late into day 3 and you are collecting DBs like quarantainee collects toilet paper, Muse is a name you should keep in mind.  This is a solid hard working prospect, who at a minimum can cover tight ends for you and play special teams.  I happen to like Tanner Muse because I tend to like Clemson DBs, and he’s a hard worker that went unoticed by many as Isiah Simmons caught everyone’s attention.  I was happy to see despite his repuation as not being physically gifted, he ran a 4.41 at the combine.  That’s not to say that the experts are wrong about his lack of physical skills, but he does have that overachieving thing going for him.

  1.  Antoine Winfield, Jr., Minnesota.  The NFL Ready

Truth be told, I do not think the disparity between the top rated safeties in this draft is that great.  The expectation is that McKinney will be the #1 safety off the board, unless Delpit somehow unseats him, despite his tackling deficiencies….but Winfield might be the best safety in this draft.  If the name sounds familiar to you, that’s because his dad played for the Vikings.  Winfield’s father won the Thorpe Award in college, but oddly enough, junior wasn’t really highly recruited when he left high school. Having the pedigree to play in the NFL has panned out for countless other stars.  Why?  Maybe because coming from an NFL family prepares you to play in the NFL.  Winfield plays smart. He makes smart plays, game changing clutch smart plays.  The interception at the right time is as valuable as prompt amazon delivery.  He’s also scrappy he’s got a stout solid build but he can move very fast.  He’s tough.  More importantly though it’s obvious that Winfield has great instincts.  It’s like he was born to play the position and sometimes that happens when Papa played in the NFL.  Winfield probably won’t be the top safety picked in the draft, but this little Piggy thinks he should be.

    Though, it is a shame that Moses got arrested on Easter morning. He is under the alias Allen, Robert Wayne. I guess it is a bigger shame that Moses was on probation to begin with. LOL

    • The Flying Pig says:

      Was he building a boat illegally?

      • bailbondmike says:

        Not quite, LOL. He was driving on a suspended license, DUI, and leaving scene of accident. He was on bond with us for this back in 2017. He got only 12 months probation but they gave him a technical violation due to failure to complete DUI school, unpaid fines and court costs. This warrant has been active for almost 2 years.

        There’s several LTs that we can take in the 1st that should start for the next 5 years, why do we need to trade up and take the best one?

        I’d prefer Andrew Thomas to all the others, but we don’t need him. If we draft Tua my RT of choice would be the Georgia RT.

  7. The Flying Pig says:

    Steve

    I like Thomas too. I don’t know why he isn’t the consensus – 1 but he’s not

    Wirfs is my 2nd
    Then Wills
    Then Becton

    I actually don’t think the difference between becton and Jackson or Jones is that great, unless you really like big OTs

    Damn Easter bunny better bring me a QB

  12. rich0322 says:

    We don’t need to trade up, but I could see Miami being aggressive just like in FA. I think they could and should go and get the guys they think best fits the team. Whether it’s trading up or drafting someone that we have rated a bit lower, I don’t care. I’m not sure why some people are so against trading up. We collected all this draft capital, so that if we need to move up we can.

    As for the tackles, Jones and Jackson both have high ceilings, but they also need a good amount of work to get there. Not sure either one starts day 1 without a good amount of growing pains. The top guys in this draft are more ready to start immediately. IMO, the LT is the one position I don’t want to screw with. Just try and get the best guy possible and then move on to the other positions along the line and develop if need be.

    Obviously if we draft Tua, then RT becomes a top priority. …And yes I do like Wilson from Georgia. I’m a big fan of both Georgia tackles.

    Of course this my opinion, but so is every other post about the draft in here.

    If Miami does draft Tua, does that mean they sacrifice a roster spot for Rosen?

    • Tim Knight says:

      Good one but #70 is too much Safety. We already have 4 before Delpit.

      • New Age says:

        That reinforces what a good free agency Grier had this offseason. We went from the least talented roster in the NFL to a team that really doesn’t need to double down except at OT and RB. That’s pretty impressive.

      • rich0322 says:

        I agree on how FA allows us to go in many directions.

      • rich0322 says:

        Yea, the 3rd round may be a little early to double up on safety, but Dugger does sound like one of those versatile guys we like. While SS may be his primary position, there is talk he can be used at linebacker in subpackages too or even as a weak side LB. Plus, he seems like he’ll be a very good special teamer. I haven’t seen him play, so just going by what I’ve been reading about him.

  18. bailbondmike says:

    I traded down with Jax and like the way it turned out! I was going to take Love at #26 but Pats took him at #23.

      I’ve never done one of these mocks, but it seems like players are talked about here, then you guys draft them, and a lot of the players are from the same group. Most of the guys after rd 4 I’ve never heard of.

      Curious as to how you guys draft, do you just put in players at positions of need, based on some big board, or do you really know something about them?

      I’m not trying to be a dick, just trying to evaluate these drafts a little better, because I really don’t have a clue after the top few guys (I do however watch game tape of them).

    Here’s some info on the conversation we were having the other day

  20. D says:

    Saw something where they said that the government (not Trump saying this before that debate starts again) was still planning on a May 1st resume work, and i was like WTF, the number are still climbing pretty fast. Hell just today, in the past 16 hours, it went up another 20k. WTF are they smoking.

    • steveccnv says:

      It’s about the % of new cases and deaths, not the numbers. In New York, a while back, they were saying the curve is starts to trend down when it takes the deaths/new cases more than 2-4 days to double.

  21. D says:

    Hope everyone had a great Easter btw.

  22. wyoming85 says:

  23. steveccnv says:

    Breeland against Auburn looked great blocking was 4 for 4 on passes thrown to him. Looks very fluid catching the ball, not sure why they didn’t target him more, other than short passes.

    ———————————————–
    Yeah i have been tracking that and the rate dropped down quite a bit, but recently it picked back up again, so yeah thats what im basing my statement off of, the % of new cases, not numbers as a whole.

    • steveccnv says:

      I don’t know how you do your math, but that’s not what I’ve seen in the last week. For example over the weekend the cases went up 6% and the deaths went up 9%, earlier in the week 7th-8th cases were up 8% and deaths 15%, and looking at my numbers back to 4/1 I get 12% and 21%, so I don’t agree with your findings.

    —————————————————–
    To be honest, we kinda talk about all of them at some point lol, so its not hard to have everyones mocks contain people we have talked about. I can guarantee you there are little to no potential 1st round prospects we havent discussed. Probably few 2 and 3 rounders too.

    • steveccnv says:

      I’m talking about 5+ rounds, how are they drafted?.

      • wyoming85 says:

        I watched Oregon twice last year, and Breeland made game changing plays in both!
        He showed up enough to get me to watch his other tape and decide I liked him better than the other TE’s.
        Although there isn’t really a complete TE this year?

    • wyoming85 says:

      After round #4 for me it’s about who I watched that impressed me during the year.

    ————————————————————-
    The way im looking at them is based on rate of new cases over a 24 hours period, so its roughly the same data as yours i just represent it differently. We at one point, probably in your high percentage markers, were going up at a scary rate of almost 4k an hour, like almost 100k a day. we dropped to about 50k and then 30k, and then we dipped down below 20K for a while i think even got as low as 15k, then it started going back up and like i said recently it wen up like 30k in the last 24 hour block.

    Percentage of new cases you have to be sure how your doing your percentages, if you are doing percentage of cases as a whole, your percentages will be smaller because your dividing by a cumulative number which gets bigger and bigger. you have to do you percentages off of some time factor, like 24 hour period and say ok well i was here at 1030 today, i was here at 1030 yesterday, so i saw a %change of X. Either way our data and represnetation should show the same deal, my patterns actually map pretty close to yours except your looking at dates and % so far back your aren’t looking at the curve and its flattening as a product of com pared to yesterday which is the only way you can truly look at this, if its higher than yesterday the curve isn’t flattening its going getting steeper.

    I agree with you that overall, we are in a much better place than we were, but as a compared to yesterday , we are about where we were, which compared to the day before was about the same and compared to the day before was a slight increase, which compared to that days before was an increase. So right now we are holding the curve, not flattening, and previous days before that we were steepening it. You have to look to your last data marker to see flattening or steepening, instead of comparing it to the overall highest percentage climb.

    • steveccnv says:

      Your numbers aren’t accurate, at no point have we had 100k new cases in a day. My numbers are based on those that come out at 4pm EDT daily.

      I’ve been keeping numbers since 3/27 and the % have been going down.

      I’ve seen you work numbers before with salary caps, please don’t tell me how I should use numbers, I’m a numbers guy.

      • D says:

        Wasn’t meant that way Steve i respect your numbers and your gathering and analysis but somewhere we are disconnecting. You didn’t say how you were getting them so i was more questioning through a declarative for you to clarify. i still hold to my numbers, i get them from John Hopkins University web site, same time ever day but im seeing either a straight incline, the past few days, no drop off on the % increase day to day.

  28. Mike E. says:

    4 QB’s in the first 10-12 picks could happen in this draft. You know 3 are going probably top 5 (Burrow, Tua and Herbert) and then it’s just one team to get desperate to take Love and there you have it.

    • D says:

      I think probably 4 in the first, maybe 5. I dont know about top 10, because i dont think anyone who watched Love’s tape really should think he’s a 1st rounder. Eason would be more likely to be taken in the first IMO and he has a weak personality that i cant see didnt come out in team meetings.

    If there was ever a chance to break the two party system apart, it would be this year. Too bad there doesn’t seem to be any viable third party candidates.
    —————————————————–
    There are always viable 3rd party candidates, just have to have them break affiliation with the current two. Just like Trump was threatening to do in the last election, if the GOP didn’t back him, he was going to run as a third party. Any candidate that see running in the party as a lost cause could run as a third party, and its possible they could grab more votes that way. Lets say Bernie ran as a third party, ya know the socialist party that he truly represents, he was popular enough that he would at least have split the democrat vote, could he gotten over a third of the overall votes to pulled it from Trump, probably not, but one day that could happen, but it takes a candidate alienating their current party to do so, so its not likely.

    Also the American public if high percentage of U100’s to take a term from Steve. That means they are very influence-able and they also tend to stick to the rhetoric they are already brainwashed to believe, so its unlikely that the American public is truly able to get behind any independent, no matter the popularity or quality of the candidate.

    • pheloniusphish says:

      By viable, I mean a candidate that could pull enough votes from both parties to win. Sanders isn’t viable because he would pull from the extremes of the Democratic Party, but wouldn’t pull from the republicans.

      • D says:

        I get that, i even said that in my post about Bernie, it was just an example of a way a third party could begin to become more viable, they have to be a strong candidate in an election, that splits off from his or her party, ultimately for that year, destroying that parties candidates but securing that many votes as a thrid party, even in an eventual loss strengthens the case for a third party and maybe breaks with the tradition of 2 parties. Its highly unlikely, i also said that, but thats how ya get there is ya really want it to happen.

    I’m talking about 5+ rounds, how are they drafted?.

    Breeland, who I like, is an example of someone mentioning him here, now everyone has him in their mock. So do you guys actually know something about him?
    —————————————————————-
    I dunno, thats not really how i roll, but i think what really happens is someone mentions a guy, a lot of people go look at the tape, they see what that other person saw and then maybe its fresh in their minds and they start mocking them. Its human nature but doesn’t really mean its herd mentality, its just fresh in their mind. My opinion on Breeland is he is a decent TE prospect, in other drafts, he wouldn’t be but a day 3 guy, but the shallowness of this draft has he and the guy i like, Pickney, in consideration for much higher, neither are worthy of were they ultimately will be drafted because they are benefiting from a shallow TE pool.

        Thats exactly what my numbers said too man, we have the same numbers. I goofed on the 100k thin but im not wrong that at one point it was flattening, and then it steepened again, and now its holding, thats still not a flattening thats a linear change.

        Here is what i have for april.
        1st to 2nd: 213.4K 243.8k :30.4K increase
        2nd to 3rd: 243.8k – 275.6K: 31.8K increase. Curve steepened.
        3rd to 4th: 275.6k – 308.8K: 33.2K increase. Curve steepened.
        4th to 5th: 308.8k – 337.1K: 28.3k increase. Curve flattened.
        5th to 6th: 337.1K – 366.7K: 29.6K increase. Curve steepened.
        6th to 7th: 366.7k – 396.2K: 29.5K increase. Curve held.
        7th to 8th: 396.2k – 429.0K: 32.8K increase. Curve steepened.
        8th to 9th: 429.0K – 461.4K: 32.4K increase. Curve held.
        9th to 10th: 461.4K – 496.5K: 35.1K increase. Curve steepened.
        10th to 11th: 496.5K – 526.4K: 29.9K increase, Curve lessened.
        11th to 12th: 526.4K – 555.9K: 29.5K increase, Curve held.

        How does that say its falling off? To me that says exactly what i said, its at very best holding, but there are more increases than decreases, if you throw out the top numbers the damn thing is pretty linear.

    To own it, you are right about the 100K increase, i looked at my numbers wrong it was total numbers i was looking at what i had mark at my highest rate of incline. 33k was abotu the biggest jump i saw in numbers from one day to the next.

    I like 4 QBs going top 10, that would mean either the cheats not getting one or having to give up a lot to move into the top 10.
