Diggs Deep

[MaroonBells]

I'm not sure that there is a player mocked to us more than Trevon Diggs. He's a pretty good size and scheme fit, and corner is obviously a big need. What I'm not sure about is whether the fact that his brother is on the team is a good thing or a bad thing.

What say you? Does it make sense to be Diggs deep? How many Diggs is too many?

Will Diggs sucsessfully cover Diggs in practice?

Likely we go to this position...depending on who is on the board, might be a good pick...

Their mock draft generator has rarely had him there at #25

I think if I were to pick a player that, right now, "feels" like the perfect fit for us at 25, it would be Josh Jones, the athletic tackle from Houston. He played a lot of guard at the Senior Bowl as well. But if you can get a guy like Ben Bartch in the 2nd round, you might be better off going corner here.

I watched a lot of Bama games and he's not special. Looked a lot like Mac Alexander, really. Made some plays, got beat plenty. If he's the pick at 25 I'd be disappointed.

I'll take big brother in that one. Actually, there aren't many corners in the NFL who can cover the elder Diggs.

Jones is growing on me since Becton appears to be long gone...for as tall as Jones is, you think he'd have longer arms...

I was higher on Diggs prior to his 2019 season. He has all the tools you look for but he doesn't do a great job maximizing them. Obviously that means the potential is there, but there has to be a "why" he isn't further along now. That will come up throughout the draft process. The nice thing is that he's likely a shoe-in day 1 starter which would appeal to teams like the Vikings.

Spot on. Pass.
