Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Which Ducks do you see getting drafted next year! Herbert, Dye?........

Here's how I see them right now.
Herbert* - Top 15 player
Jelks - Top 50
Dye* - Top 50
Hollins - Top 250 (late rounder who could rise depending on his season).

Jelks has first round potential. Hoping he has a big season.

He certainly does, I also know it's going to be a deep DE class this year as quite a few talented DL stayed an extra year and Jelks counts among them. I think he has the chance to be everything the Dolphins wanted to force Dion Jordan to become as a player which is to say I think he's got serious comparison to HOF Jason Taylor with build and play style.

If he plays like last year I agree 100% . He can make himself a lot of money with a quality year.

I talked to an NFL draft hobbyist, and he was saying that Herbert is QB1 on most boards. Dye is also being talked about in recruiting circles as one of the top LBs. Jelks was the only other Oregon player he knew. I think Hollins has a chance to get drafted, he does have height and freaky athleticism.

Dye is still a very undersized LB for the NFL. He needs about 15-20 more LBs, or to run better than I think he can. Outside of that a 6'3 220-225 ish LB isnt getting drafted high.

Telvin Smith, Ryan Shazier, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis and a few other all-pro LBs from the past five years are within +/-10lbs of Dye. Dye is also 6'4" and 20/21 years old, he's got the ability to add more functional weight. I am curious to see what his 40 time will be, to see how much of his hustle on the field is athletic ability and how much of it is his effort and motor.
