The Not Too Early 2020 Draft Thread

@007 Doing another mock and ended up with Ruggs/Gladney in the first. Jeudy went to the Jags and Lamb to the Jets. Bit of a buzzkill but I'm expecting similar shit in the real draft.

I like it.

I think Gladney is a good one.

We’re going to have our choice of one of lamb, ruggs, or juedy at 12, and I don’t think we’re taking one, unless it’s lamb.
 
Draft goes south fast and no trades, who do you pick?

1) Burrow
2) Young
3) Simmons
4) Okudah
5) Tua
6) Lamb
7) Herbert
8) Wirfs
9) Jeudy
10) Ruggs
11) Wills

12) Brown, Benton, Kinlaw, Thomas or Henderson?

A DT rotation of Brown, Hankins, Collins, Hurst would not make me mad, at all.

A problem is that Rhule may have significant traction in Carolina.... he knows the Big 12 and Lamb is his choice.... that guy is all offense..... a new owner will likely give his new coach the guy he wants....... If they don't get Lamb.... the Jets will. He's the guy they want to pair with Darnold.... and they're allegedly very willing to trade up to get him......

Our recent top pick history concerns me..... We reached for Miller in Gruden's first draft..... we reached for Ferrell in Mayock's first draft..... and in both those drafts as well as this one..... we haven't leaked anything to throw anybody off the scent..... all signs point to us targeting somebody that nobody else has in their top 25......

I'm not sure which is worse..... McKenzie's tradition of blowing top picks on DBs or this new tradition of over-drafting average players with our top pick....

Either way, it’s Henderson. :facepalm:
 
PFF has Detroit taking Okudah and letting NYG draft Young if Wash trades down with Miami. Hmmm. Well, if true, so much for trading up for Okudah. Simmons falls to #7 in this mock, and Lamb falls into Raiders lap at #12 b/c of a run on OT. PFF has Raiders passing on Brown at #19 for a DB. No way. Have to at least trade #19 for somebody who wants Brown.

Brown is a top 5 talent. Zero chance he falls anywhere near 19. But these guys have to put out some “new” BS take to help pass the time when everything is on lockdowns and no new info is available.
 
Trade Okwara out with a LB like Moses or Murray and I would consider that knocking it out of the park.
Okwara’s lack of combine numbers is pissing me off. Here’s a guy who could be flying up boards. I like his fit for us now: OLB/edge rusher and coverage piece.

Cal’s Davis FS is another guy who I want numbers for. At least we now have our FS in Randall, but this COVID-19 shit is interfering with my draft prep! :gripe:

Another small school prospect with no combine numbers. :banghead:

T BEN BARTCH, SAINT JOHN’S (MINN.)
Bartch started his career at Saint John’s back in 2016 as a 230-pound tight end and ended as a 309-pound offensive tackle — all thanks to his daily shake consisting of scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, grits, peanut butter, banana and Gatorade. Good thing he suffered through that every day to gain all that weight, because it’s clearly paying off for him — he currently sits as the 55th-best prospect overall and sixth-best tackle in this class.

In his final year with the Johnnies, Barth recorded a PFF pass-block grade of 97.3. Yes, that’s no typo — a 97.3 pass-block grade with just four pressures allowed on 541 pass-block reps. He tossed around D-III linemen routinely and continued his dominance at the Senior Bowl where he posted one of the highest win rates of any offensive lineman.
 
I might have to boycott Day 3. Without combine or pro day numbers, I feel blind. :D

S KENNY ROBINSON, ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS (XFL)
Kenny Robinson is among the list of overall undervalued and PFF favorites in this draft class. After spending a couple years at West Virginia and displaying great playmaking ability, Robinson had to leave college football for the XFL to help his mother who was fighting cancer. He then played five games for the Battlehawks and showed the same instincts we all fall in love with when he was with the Mountaineers. In college, Robinson combined for 14 plays made on the ball while allowing just 23 catches in coverage (181 snaps at outside corner, 186 snaps in the slot, 216 snaps in the box and 771 at free safety). In the XFL, Robinson allowed just four catches in coverage while intercepting two (almost exclusively at free safety).

He’s a proven, versatile player and lethal in coverage regardless of alignment. In PFF’s latest Analytics Mock by George Chahrouri and Eric Eager, which takes into account positional value and college-to-pro projections, they have Robinson as late first-round pick. In reality, he’ll likely be a late Day 2 pick at best. In other words, some team is going to get a steal in this guy.

Brown.... but we'll take the corner
 
If we were there at 12 and had our choice of Brown/Becton/Kinlaw I would not have a real issue with that.

But yeah we would take the corner.

Brown I guess. I feel like he’s being pushed up in a weak class but the options aren’t exactly exciting.
