Predict the First round of the 2020 NFL Draft Challenge

OK Fellow Steeler fans, time to kick off this contest again with only a couple days until the draft (thank you for not postponing LOL)

Here are the rules and scoring system:

1) - 7 points for matching teams who will trade during the draft. Both teams must match. (Example: Correct prediction of New England trading up from 23 to 18 with Miami for example. If you predict N.E. moves up but the other team doesn't match, then the 7 points are not added). This is awarded the most points due to the unpredictability of trades. Scoring for the players taken will be in addition to the 7 points and will follow the guidelines below. If a team trades down twice in the 1st round, each trade will be taken individually.

2) - 5 points for matching the draft spot, team and player.

3) - 3 points for matching the draft spot and player, but not the team. (Example: Cincy trades out of #1, but you predict Joe Burrow at #1)

4) - 3 points for matching the draft spot and team via trade, but not the player. (Example: New England trades up to #18 and takes Henry Ruggs where you predicted Tee Higgins)

5) - 2 points for matching team and player, but not the draft spot.

6) - 1 point for each correct player taken in the first round regardless of team and spot.

Example: You predict New England trades up with Miami to select Jordan Love and Miami selects Jonathan Taylor. If this happens exactly, you would total 19 points. 7 points for getting the trade teams correct, 5 points for getting New England's player correct and 5 points for getting Miami's player correct, and 1 point each for the two players taken in the first round.

Please list the selections with the team drafting, player, position, school:

1. Cleveland Browns - Myles Garrett OLB Texas A&M.

With the 49th Pick the Steelers select Ezra Cleveland OT/or Terrell Lewis OLB
Since I don't follow closethe rosters of other teams in the NFL, I really have no idea
how this draft will go, depending on trades it really is a crap shoot.
I hope the Steelers make good selections that will benefit the greatest franchise
on the planet. I really don't study as much as used to in my younger days.

 

So you started to put Dobbins, and then switched to Swift.

 

Both myself and @SteelCity_NB predicting 6 'bama players in the first round which would tie the record for first round picks from the same college (according to Florio and PFT anyway...)

Highlights to me how good Tua is (or sadly possibly 'was') that they weren't on the same level without him

 

I predict whichever team drafts burrow on the first round will end up seriously disappointed. Now I’ll read the rules

 

1. Cincinnati Bengals- Joe Burrow QB lsU
2. Washington Redskins- Chase Young DE OSU
3. Detroit Lions- Jeffrey Okudah CB OSU
4. NY Giants- Jedrick Wills OT Alabama
5. Miami Dolphins- Andrew Thomas OT Georgia
6. Las Angeles Chargers- Tua Tonguaviola QB Alabama
7. Carolina Panthers- Isaiah Simmons LB Clemson
8. Arizona Cardinals- Mekti Becton OT Louisville
9. Jacksonville Jaguars- Derrick Brown DT Auburn
10. Cleveland Browns- Tristan Wirfs OT Iowa
11. NY Jets- Jerry Jeudy WR Alabama
12. Las Vegas Raiders- CeeDee Lamb WR Oklahoma
13. San Francisco 49ers *trade* Atlanta Falcons - CJ Henderson CB Florida
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Justin Herbert QB Oregon
15. Denver Broncos- Trevon Diggs CB Alabama
16. Atlanta Falcons *trade* San Francisco - Javon Kinlaw DT SC
17. Dallas Cowboys- KLavon Chaisson DE LSU
18. Miami Dolphins- Jordan Love QB Utah ST
19. Las Vegas Raiders- AJ Terrell CB Clemson
20. Jacksonville Jaguars- Kristian Fulton CB LSU
21. Philadelphia Eagles- Henry Ruggs WR Alabama
22. Minnesota Vikings- Jalen Reagor WR TCU
23. New England Patriots- AJ Epenesa DE Iowa

29. Tennessee Titans- Marlon Davidson DT Auburn
30. Green Bay Packers- Ross Blacklock DT TCU
31. San Francisco 49ers- Josh Jones OT Houston
32. Kansas City Chiefs- JK Dobbins RB OSU

 

Miami trades out of the 1st with Denver....just clarification on mine

 

@Blast Furnace you have Wirfs twice

 

Little high on Ruiz

 

No trades yet unless I missed something

 

I got de-railed big time by the Tua/Herbert picks. Thought Miami would have gone OT.

 

MIA tried to trade into the first slot according to some. Didn't happen I think they would've taken burrows

 

Al Davis intervened on another speedster hahahahahaha but the kid is a bit more than one trick... Has enough of a route tree to build on.
