Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[wthigoot]

Never made a thread before so just experimenting. Lots of 2019 football left (with I think at least 1 playoff win) but never too early for draft talk. Thought I saw someone saying there was already a 2020 draft thread, but didn't see one. Cancel this one if there is.

No responses = too early!!!

Way too early mock draft:
1 - Davis, Wyatt - OG - Ohio State
2 - Murray, Kenneth - ILB - Oklahoma
3 - Rogers, Kendrick - WR - Texas A&M
4 - Pinckney, Nyles - DT - Clemson
5 - Samuels, Stanford - CB - Florida State
6 - Hopkins, Brycen - TE - Purdue
6 - Vaughn, Ke'Shawn - RB - Vanderbilt
7 - Zuniga, Jabari - DE - Florida
7 - Paulo, Darrin - OT - Utah
7 - Duvernay, Devin - WR - Texas

Just estimating positions vs. rounds of the draft. Packers probably won't select any of these guys.

Absurd (Davis) Draft:

1 - Davis, Wyatt - OG - Ohio State
2 - Davis, Raekwon - DT - Alabama
2 - Davis, Quartney - WR - Texas A&M
3 - Davis, Gabriel - WR - Central Florida
5 - Davis, Ashtyn - S - California
6 - Davis, Carlos - DT - Nebraska
7 - Davis, Jordan - TE - Louisville

FA - Davis, Kahlil - DT - Nebraska
FA - Davis, Javaris - CB - Auburn
FA - Davis, Alvin - CB - Akron

Why no Cali guys on the mock draft?

No worries about the thread. So long as there's a Kinda Early Draft thread, Somewhat Early Draft thread, and Sorta Early one too.

I thought Brycen Hopkins was considered among, if not the, top TE in the draft... if true, no way he lasts until R6. I know nothing about any of these other younguns, so... nice job.
How many months to the draft?

This guy has Hopkins as #1 TE and #52 overall. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...ional-rankings

Aaron Nagler @AaronNagler
The QB the Broncos traded up in front of the Packers to take because they suspected (correctly) that Green Bay planned on taking him.

He is speaking of Drew Lock. Nagler later names himself as the source, so I think this is informed speculation if not a joke, but has anyone else heard this?

Got LEEEEEEEROY Jenkins instead.

I heard similar rumors on draft day...and it's certainly possible. After the incapabilities of the backup QBs the last few years, Gute was possibly seeing value in a QB in that position. Hopefully that means he values the future QB position as well.

Someone in that thread said Gute had publicly said something positive about him. Given the secrecy that normally surrounds this stuff, I guess maybe?

Wow, my mistake, thought I got that ranking from Great Blue North but they have him 3rd round or so. Probably wouldn't spend a 1 or 2 on a TE, but would be OK with it if that's what they decided.

Hmmm.... Well is it time to draft another Cali QB to develop, since our current Cali QB has begun to say the "R" word?

How about a guy from Bakersfield?

2 - Love, Jordan - QB - Utah State - 6-4, 220

[MadtownPacker]

Sounds good! Plus his current state is preparing him for bagging multiple honeys. Solid choice.

Breaking News: I've changed my mind - something that hardly ever happens. I've always been against drafting a WR early. I still don't want one drafted in the first round, but second would be a good idea. I'm with the Allison detractors. I'm thinking positive about Lazard and even Kumerow and St. Brown next season, and even though MVS has been a bit of a disappointment, he still could develop. But basically, we could use a book end with Davante Adams - somebody on that level. It supposedly is a good year for WRs also.

I still want a Kenny Clark clone of a DT in the first round and a top quality TE in the third round. And maybe 4th round on, O Linemen across the board, hopefully getting lucky on a couple of them.

Free Agency, of course, is also a possibility for any or all of those positions.

Well taking Lock would solve one problem (QB backup) and then offered an immediate proof of concept when Lane Taylor got Rodgers knocked out for another season.

C'mon...everyone knows they shoulda taken M.K. Decaf. :P
I'm fine with Gute taking Leeeeroy over Drew "John" Locke -- ol Leeeroy has the makings of a 10 year starter and that's worth something. Rodgers will need a better backup and they should start looking at finding his successor, but keeping him upright and healthy in the meantime is a good idea.

Stud ILB who can cover
WR with speed/separation
OT to replace or backup Bulaga
DL to help Kenny
CB because you can't have enough
QB to develop?
random fast fat guys to play ST
