Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[Bretsky]

I'm not sure he can cover but I like his Watt Like Tenacity on the field and feel like he can be an effective Pro.

ONE GUY who I'd love to see in Green Bay is ILB Chris Orr. Incredibly hard worker/leader/student of the game/insane film studier. The anti's will say he lacks natural ability. He's the Anti Gary; he plays way better than his measurables. He'll go late rounds; I think he finds a home and since our ILB's suck I'd love it to be here. Part of me wants to compare him to Schobert; but
if I"m being honest I'm surprised what a good pro he's become. Also wish we could get BADASS too but don't think GB would go that high for an OL this year. He is a badass and love how his name is pronounced.

ORR and CEEPHUS.............That would make my Draft Day

The stage for the 2020 NFL Draft in Las Vegas will be on the water at the Fountains of Bellagio. The players will be transported to the stage by boat.





GOOD, I CAN DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH MY NIGHT SINCE I WON'T BE WATCHING THIS

No need for the boat - put the clear plastic walkway right at the waterline so that players can "walk on water" to get to the stage. And yes, Evel Knievel (or I guess Robbie Knievel now) jumping the stage would be great.

Then we can stop watching and continue to research all 5 of the 6-7 round picks that Gutey has acquired.

We will find that dominant nose tackle from THE Southwest Arkansas College of Engineering and Automatic Transmission Repair.

I think Baun is a bit undersized as even a stand up edge rusher, doesn't mean he can't do it in the NFL but scouts might think he projects at inside linebacker for two reason. The might feel like he needs a bit more protection and might not have the anchor to hold the edge, and secondly Schobert was an outside linebacker at Wisco and he is now a Mike in Cleveland's 4-3 defense. Maybe they see the comparison. I don't. If Baun can cover than he can work as a Will in a 4-3, or strictly a pass rusher which means he would probably play quite a bit in a 3-4 scheme.

Also, I am a bit of a homer for Chris Orr. What is going to hurt him is that he is under 6'0" tall. There have been some greats at the MLB position that have been under that mark, but teams still look at height and if you are under 6'0" it is a disadvantage.

Still a long way to go, but from the sites I've looked at, seems unlikely Chris Orr will be drafted. Sure to be a priority UDFA if that's the case.

Jenkins was a Mike Sherman acquisition.

Cue Tank in 3, 2, 1...

The Bellagio fountain isn't much deeper than 3 feet. Going to need boats that are surface huggers. Probably can't go lower than 6 inches or so before they would hit the water jets attached to the bottom.

I looked at a couple of sites and many haven't updated his profile since the fall of 2019, I am sure they are waiting until after the combine. He had a hell of a statistical season, he is active and can excel when he is moving down hill. Like I said before, he constantly played behind other NFL caliber talent at linebacker at Wisco and a knee injury his sophomore year also slowed his access to the field. Coverage wise, Orr has had some big plays in coverage, he has good hands and understands where his drops need to be in relation to routes. Above all Orr plays a pretty full throttle violent game of football sometimes to his own detriment.

The biggest concern with Orr is going to be his height, overall athleticism, and his ability to finish plays when he puts himself in position. He can get mixed up on his reads at times which cause him some static when he needs to fight off blocks, this probably happens more than it should.

He would likely have to be a special teams demon, which wouldn't shock me, to make a team. If he's listed at 6'0" 225 he's basically a big safety. Not sure how well he runs or covers, haven't watched him TBH, but if Nutz thinks he can do it he might make it in subpackages or as a backup a la Joe Thomas.

[Bretsky]

He's gotta add 10lbs of muscle

How does Orr compare to Chris Borland? Borland was another guy who didn't have great measurables.

IIRC Borland was bigger - LOL at the T-Rex arms comment.

They have him listed at 5'11" 248.

Honestly Borland was a better all around player. I love Orr; but he's just not as good as Borland was

LOL hadn't noticed the cool acronym.

Pretty sure Deacon Jones went there for a year before transferring to THE Mississippi Vocational College (MVSU). Or maybe not.

That's where Jace Sternberger attended school, in a James Joyce novel.
