The official NFL draft 2020 thread

Rodgers can’t be happy at all, I wonder if he requests a trade?

 

Andy Reid got his Westbrook. We have a great shot to add two very nice players tomorrow. I was not interested in QB, WR or CB and a ton of them went. S and RB spots are loaded. Still some nice OL and DL available.

 

That Ohio state defensive backfield was quite good. Arnette is a good corner. If he didn't have the cast on he would have been even better. Not a bad pick at all actually.

 

Quite good?! Perhaps. A "Day One Impact Player" however is to be determined. I did not see Top 20 performance from him. We will have to wait and see.

 

He is a very good man coverage corner. Even with the cast most of the year. Okudah got most of the glory but teams didn't do much on the other side of the field either. Good tackler too. As mayock says, the kid can play left, right or in the slot. Those guys are hard to come by.

 

Van jefferson. This is a guy I'm keeping my eye's on for us. What a good route runner. He is quite good at getting open. He can manipulate a db. There is some good tape out there of those skills.

 

So just curious now with the first round down and us having the 17th pick tonight with the players left on the board, who is your most wanted? I am not asking who is the highest ranked I am asking who are you hoping for falls to us? I am tossed up right now between Winfield and Johnson. I am also liking Delpit, Epenesa and Matos

 

I said, weeks ago, that if Laviska Shenault was there at 2-17 we should jump at him. But, damned, If Delpit or McKinney are there, how do you pass them up? But there are a ton of other players, like Yeuter or AJ, or freaking running backs.

I loved our Blacklock pick in the TSF draft, but if he's who we get today, I will be sorely disappointed.

 

16 guys get to come off the board. I don't think anything is out of the question yet. It kind of shows how weak the safety class and D-line class and TE class is in this draft. We should still get some good players before it's over.

 

I don't know if you can call the safety and d-line class weak. There will be 4 and maybe 5 safeties go off the board in round 2. Don't have to pick one in round one, because there will be a good one in round two. D-line is just undervalued, but likewise why take one in the first round when you can get a good one in 2, 3, or 4.

TE we all knew was weak. I'm shocked at how weak edge/de/olb is. And cb is weak, which explains the reaches in round 1.

WR and O-line are strong. Some of those first 15 teams were figuring to get a 1st round WR early 2, and now they'll be reaching.

 

Was a joke to watch. Couldn't hold on. I will tonight for picks 49 and 102. Goodell showing the boo's wasn't funny to me because he doesn't understand why. Those billionaire's are so amusing.

 

As much as we should really address the OL and DL first, if any of McKinney, Delpit, Taylor, Swift, Dobbins are there you almost have to take them. Maybe some like Akers more than the other RBs. Otherwise get someone like Blacklock, Cush, maybe Josh Jones.

 

we have two first round safeties. Is there another position on the team that we took two first rounders and then drafted a second rounder as well? I can't think of one.

 

I didn't mean to imply we should draft a safety (although it would be tempting). Just that I didn't think the safety class was weak.

 

One of them is pretty bad and should not have been a 1st rounder. That said, this org won't admit that so, yeah, we aren't taking S in round 2. I think OL is the biggest need but I've been on the "take RB at 49 if he's clearly the BPA" train and we might see that very thing.

 

OLB:
Yeuter Gross Matos
Zach Baum
Marlon Davidson
AJ Espanza

 

I don't think Epenesa and Matos fit a 3/4 defense

 

I’ve been pushing moving Edmunds to a hybrid role even before we picked up Barron. After losing Barron and after another year of watching TE struggles at playing the ball and creating turnovers it seems even more logical now. We wouldn’t have to spend a draft pick on a hybrid and the way the board is shaping up right now we should have a shot at one of these playmakers at S. We do use the nickel a lot and our depth at S is woefully weak. Without even considering how screwed we would be if we had a injury at S ,we could use another playmaker in the secondary. The guys left are versatile as well and could also play a role similar to Hilton who is again a FA next year along with Sutton. I like your ”simple “ answer....you don’t....JMO.

 

Man I don’t know if the GB fans would ever get over losing Rodgers. NE does have 13 picks now I believe so it would be interesting. Not sure how those 2 egos would work together either. Something tells me BB is on a quest to prove he can win without TB or a star QB. Really wouldn’t prove anything winning with AR.
