Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[GB-Brandon]

Kiper has Packers taking KJ Hamler in his mock. That has been a fairly popular Packers pick so far. https://www.reddit.com/r/DynastyFF/c...eleased_today/

He is 5’9 175lbs(even smaller then Tyreek Hill) though and is gonna most likely primarily be limited to the slot. Might be a bit of a reach IMO at receiver this year at #30. Hamler is a smaller version of Parris Campbell and quite frankly I’d rather have Campbell even though he had an injury riddled rookie season. I expect a break out season from Campbell in 2020.

There are a couple of sites out there on the interweb that allows you to do a complete mock draft. I suggest doing it a couple of times versus just looking at players you would like the Packers to get in each round. Its not 100% accurate but its more realistic than just wanting a certain player each round.

As pieces of the 2020 draft slowly come together, Senior Bowl, Combine, personal workouts etc... Teams and "experts" start to put their draft boards together and there is a lot of fluctuation. For instance Jalen Hurts didn't do himself any favors at the Senior Bowl and has seen his draft stock dip. He was a QB that if he put it all together at the Senior Bowl and Combine could have been considered a low end first round selection. Now he might drop to some where from a late second to a late 3rd pick.

What I have done for a couple of drafts, is put together draft tiers for positional groups. It's actually quite fun for me. I wish I had the time in the fall to track the production of those tiers to see if I was right or wrong, but hell Mel Kiper doesn't care what a player does after the draft. Why should I?

This is a good piece of advice if you're curious about mock drafting... the first time I tried it my draft turned out crazy because I had a couple of reaches and luxury picks (Clyde Edwards-Helaire as A.Jones backup/successor) that I somewhat-regretted by the late rounds. (I got the ILB revamped though! )
One thing it does show is where there is depth in the draft -- there were WRs available in R6 and 7 that would be upgrades/even tradeoffs from who GB had on their roster, for example, but OTs better than Alex Light were hard to find by round 4.

I use fanspeak. Right now it is pretty hit and miss with draft positions of the players. It is much better after the combine.

Adams in 2017, Khyri Thornton in 2014, Datone Jones in 2013, Jerel Worthy in 2012. Not TT's strong point. .

Man, if TT had the eye for DL that he did for WR.........

Yeah, he was pretty spotty. He did find Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark, BJ Raji, Johnny Jolly, and sign Ryan Pickett, Howard Green, and Cullen Jenkins. Interesting that most of his good DL work was early in his tenure. I wonder if that was the work of a scout who moved up/out in position...

I wonder if it was scout's reporting OR advice being given by Schneider or Dorsey.

Ted used to say he occasionally needed to be reminded that you just can't draft the athletic traits. You need football players too.

Jenkins was a Mike Sherman acquisition.

Cue Tank in 3, 2, 1...

[SudsMcBucky]

Just ran a quick 3 round mock.

Packers #30: Patrick Queen, LB
#62: KJ Hamler, WR
#94: Darnay Holmes, CB

Some other notes of interest, Wisconsin guys drafted in 1st 3 rounds: Jonathan Taylor, #31 to KC, Zach Baun #83 to Denver, Tyler Badass #90 to Cleveland

Mike Sherman never missed the playoffs with Ron Wolf's players.

Love Baun

Wait the dude's real last name is Badass? That is truly incredible.

It's actually Biadasz. But Badass is much better.

That's actually not a bad body of work, unfortunately his misses were so.......... damaging.

Something like this would be nice

30 Kenneth Murray - LB Oklahoma
62 Isaiah Wilson - OT Georgia
94 Jordyn Brooks - LB Texas Tech
126 Devin Duvernay - WR Texas
157 Quintez Cephus - WR Wisconsin
172 Ezra Cleveland - OT Boise State
189 Khalil Davis - IDL Nebraska
201 Ray Lima - IDL Iowa State
219 James Proche - WR SMU

Sign a TE and a CB in free agency and get ready to roll
