Re: Coach Summarizes his picks, and Lance Dunbar

April 27, 2019 06:07AM
Both Les, and Sean made reference to having Dunbar around and what his role was, and how that portends to DH.
I barely remember Dunbar ever touching the ball. My recall, is that he was injured for the better part of his roster time.

Anyone remember Dunbar really doing stuff for us?

BTW, Les made reference to Rapp perhaps being injured when he ran his 40. Snead suggested had it been him, he'd have sat it out, but Rapp ran. Hmmm

also, interesting to interpret Sean's summary of his picks....

On a quick summary of each player picked up today in the draft)

McVay: “Taylor Rapp: instinctual player, has the ability to play safety, drop down and can play in that linebacker location as well on some of the nickel packages. Unbelievable instincts and awareness and short quicks. He is playmaker on defense and plays really fast. He is a guy that loves football and great above the neck, all the things that we really like. When you look at Darrell Henderson, he is a guy that can do a variety of different things, explosive playmaker and has great hands. You watch him be able to catch the ball away from his body, whether it be in his workouts or some of the different opportunities that he had at Memphis. Then the long speed shows up, and if you give him a crease, he has a chance to take it the distance every time he touches it and another guy that loves football. When you get into David Long, the character is off the charts and he is a guy that has a skillset, the ability to come off and play man coverage, be able to play physical and be able to stay in guys’ back hips and mirror. You can see he is able cancel routes out as he goes and he just shows up and in a really, really productive defense over the last couple years. This was one of the best corners based off a production standpoint and another guy that loves football. When you wrap up with Evans, a tackle that has some versatility, some athleticism. Playing the left tackle position, think you saw him do a lot of really good things on an excellent offense this past year and we have full confidence that he is a guy that really can play across the line both the left and the right side, he might be able to play in that guard spot as well. When you look at where we are at offensively, we feel really good about Brian Allen and Joe Noteboom stepping up into big-time roles this year and we feel like Bobby is going to provide some depth and continue to learn and develop under the leadership. You talk about what an Andrew Whitworth will do to be able to mentor him, like what he has done with Noteboom. Those are four really good football players that I think that if you said that is how day two ended, we’d feel really good about it right now.”
