StubHub ?A brief history of the 14th pick
Womens Bryce Callahan Jersey , ahead of the Falcons 2019 draft New,28commentsThere have been some truly great players drafted at 14 over the
years. EDTShareTweetShareShareA brief history of the 14th pick, ahead of the
Falcons 2019 draft The Falcons currently (though not necessarily on draft night)
hold the 14th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. That selection should be able to snag
the Falcons a very good player, but you might if yourself wondering if history
is on their side in that regard.Today, we’ll take a look to see whether the 14th
selection (which the Falcons have not had in the past nearly 40 years,
incidentally) has a history of yielding quality players or not. Let’s go back to
2000, with a few highlights of true greats who were drafted since 1980. 2018: DE
Marcus Davenport, Saints2017: DE Derek Barnett, Eagles2016: S Karl Joseph,
Raiders2015: WR DeVante Parker, Dolphins2014: CB Kyle Fuller, Bears2013: DT Star
Loulelei, Panthers2012: DL Michael Brockers
Josh Bellamy Jersey , Rams2011: DE Robert Quinn, Rams2010: S Earl Thomas, Seahawks2009: CB Malcolm Jenkins, Saints2008: T Chris Williams,
Bears2007: CB Darrelle Revis, Jets2006: DT Brodrick Bunkley, Eagles2005: LB
Thomas Davis, Panthers2004: DT Tommie Harris, Bears2003: DE Michael Haynes,
Bears2002: TE Jeremy Shockey, Giants2001: T Kenyatta Walker, Buccaneers2000: TE
Bubba Franks, Packers1996: RB Eddie George
http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-anthony-miller-jersey , Titans1989: DE Jaff Lageman, Jets1983: QB Jim Kelly, BillsWhat can we get out of
this list, which I followed all the way back to 2000 before just picking a few
highlights out from the years past? The trend since 2000 or so has been to take
defensive linemen or secondary players at #14, and the NFL has largely been
rewarded with great players by making those choices. Brockers, Lotulelei, Quinn,
and Jenkins are all good players, while Earl Thomas and Darrelle Revis are two
Hall of Famers. Even some of the more recent picks, like Davenport, Barnett and
Joseph, could turn into quality players in the near future, and Davenport has
the tools to be a star. In other words
Womens Sherrick McManis Jersey , the 14th pick is usually a pretty good spot to be in if you want a quality defender, and that figures to be the case
again this year. Typically teams reach for quarterbacks in the top ten—something
the Falcons may or may not see this year, depending on whether teams fall in
love with Dwayne Haskins and Daniel Jones—but their chances of getting a player
they love in the trenches is very high even if they don’t move. If the Falcons
stay at 14, who do you think they’ll pick?Chicago Bears: Week 2 game balls after
their first win of the season For the first time in four seasons the Chicago
Bears avoided an 0-2 start on Monday night with a dominant 24-17 win over the
Seattle Seahawks.While the score doesn’t reflect just how impressive the team’s
defense looked throughout the game, a win is a win. For the second straight week
the Bears jumped out to a lead and led the entire game, even the last two and a
half minutes of the game this time around.Offensively, there are still some
concerns especially regarding quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, but all-in-all,
this was a win the Bears had to have and they got it done. There were plenty of
standouts last night but let’s highlight the best player on each side of the
ball in this week’s game ball session.WR Allen RobinsonPatrick Gorski-USA TODAY
SportsThe offense once again came out of the gate and marched down the field for
a touchdown on their opening drive. Despite Trubisky’s erratic accuracy, the one
constant he had throughout the entire game was Robinson.The 25-year-old is fresh
off a three year, $42 million deal with the team back in March, and so far he’s
living up to expectations, even if he hasn’t seen the end zone.On Monday
night
Charles Leno Jersey , Robinson had 10 catches for 83 yards, including multiple first down catches that truly helped his young quarterback.His 6’3”
frame, along with his steady hands will prove to be a big value moving forward
and cannot be understated while this new offense looks to gain traction over the
course of the year. Robinson lined up all over the field both outside and in the
slot.As the offense continues to progress, keep an eye on Robinson’s growth
within the offense, too. He’s just one year removed from an ACL tear suffered in
Week 1 of last year.Right now, Robinson is on pace for 112 receptions for 1,152
yards and make no mistake, the touchdowns will come as the offense settles in
over the next few weeks.ILB Danny TrevathanMike DiNovo-USA TODAY SportsOn a unit
where the Bears have both Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks, Trevathan was the player
that stood out on what appears to be an elite defense.Trevathan’s impact was
felt in multiple ways Monday night but none more than his two sacks, one of
which was a strip sack of Russell Wilson that ultimately ended the Seahawks
comeback hopes.The 28-year-old finished the game with 8 tackles, 2 sacks, 2
quarterback hits, a forced fumble and a tackle-for-loss. On a unit that finished
the game with six total sacks
http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-joel-iyiegbuniwe-jersey , this was still the most impressive performance of the night.Trevathan’s value
goes beyond his numbers. Post game when being interviewed by ESPN, Hicks snuck
in on the interview and confirmed that Trevathan is the “leader” on the
defensive side of the ball. He’s the player that gets everybody lined up and
takes the play calls through the headset.Especially with rookie linebacker
Roquan Smith next to him, Trevathan’s value is one that may not be seen by the
untrained eye on a daily basis. But he’s a player the Bears need to stay healthy
if they expect a continual top five product as the season goes on.Honorable
Mention: OLB Khalil MackPatrick Gorski-USA TODAY SportsFor the second straight
week, Mack was nearly unstoppable. While he finished the game with *only* a
sack, tackle-for-loss and a single quarterback hit, his five tackles and overall
pursuit of the quarterback led to two different sacks.As I highlighted last
week, Mack’s value isn’t always going to come in the way of numbers within the
box score. A player to his level creates multiple opportunities for his
teammates and that showed once again last night.Prime example: Eddie Goldman’s
sack of Russell Wilson in the second quarter last night. If it wasn’t for Mack
collapsing the pocket and pushing Wilson up into the pocket, Goldman doesn’t get
the sack, despite tremendous inside pressure.It may sound somewhat crazy but I’m
starting to wonder if $23.5 million per year is even enough for a guy like Mack.
His value to this defense unit has been otherworldly for the first two weeks of
this season.
