Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[Bretsky]

So you say. I’m arguing they drafted him for 2020
And beyond so we don’t know yet.

You might have missed my point.

I do agree you should be getting an elite talent at pick 12; I referenced Pittsburg since they got theirs aka///ThanksTed at pick 30

[Bretsky]

Neither the Steelers or the Packers have Brady or Mahomes.

Rodgers was the top QB in the NFL, arguably I guess....but undoubtedly elite for many years.

[Bretsky]

A reach is if you draft a guy in the 1st round because he fills a need even though you had a 3rd round grade on him. If Gary turns out to be a bust, I think it will just be a big mistake, not a reach.

You are right; he was projected in round one so he was not a reach. I know I've pounded this table too many times but I'm still baffled at how some teams think they can magically bring things out nobody has before.

Bill Huber's 7 round Packer mock draft.

https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/...s-mock-draft-2

First round – LB Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma (6-2, 234): Murray, who started as an 18-year-old freshman, was an All-American as a junior in 2019 with team-leading totals of 102 tackles and 17 tackles for losses. This was the pick in my first mock. This time, I had my choice between Murray and LSU’s Patrick Queen. Based on conversations with a few scouts I’ve talked to at this early stage of the process, I stuck with Murray.

Second round – TE Cole Kmet, Notre Dame (6-5, 250): For a second, I considered taking Kmet at No. 30. He’s the best all-around tight end in the draft and would provide an excellent complement to last year’s third-round pick, Jace Sternberger. In his 2019 debut, he caught 43 receptions for 515 yards and six touchdowns and had a dominant performance against Georgia.

Third round – WR Denzel Mims, Baylor (6-3, 215): Mims caught 66 passes for 1,020 yards and 12 touchdowns, then went out and dominated at the Senior Bowl. In high school, he was the Texas state champion in the 200 meters. His size and burst will provide a much-needed boost on the perimeter.

Fourth round – WR Devin Duvernay, Texas (5-11, 210): In the third round, it was almost a coin flip between Mims, the perimeter receiver, and Duvernay, the slot prospect. Duvernay had a monster senior season with 103 receptions for 1,249 yards and eight touchdowns. He led the nation in receptions and receptions per game (8.6). In an early-season game against LSU, he caught 12 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns.

I like Murray at 30. Not sure about taking a TE in 2nd after we just drafted S Berger in 3rd last year. I suppose it wouldn’t be the worse thing in LaFleurs offense.

Mimms kinda gives us what we already have(would rather have Hill or Cephus). I’m not on the Duvernay bus. He basically ran two routes at Texas. He has speed but is more of a 1 trick pony. We need more then a guy that just has some straight line speed.

We can do better then this. I want “twitchy” short area quickness and not sure this draft accomplishes that.

Nope. You'll just have to wait and see what Santa Gutey brings you.

Definitely room for 2 TE receiving threats in this offense. Duvernay doesn't have a complete game, but I think would be a good value in the 4th round. Could be dangerous in the slot. Hill is smooth as silk but doesn't look that athletic to me. Limited upside? I think Cephus has more talent.

Ceephus is right in our dam backyard
Due Diligence will show the coaches he loves the game, works hard, is beloved by his teammates, and is a leader. Let him fall into our laps.

ANYBODY HEAR ME SAY THAT A FEW YEARS AGO ?????????????//


Santa Gutey, don't be like //thankstedforTJWATT and do this to me again !!

So was Ben

[Bretsky]

So was Ben

You considered Ben the best QB in the NFL.....or elite multiple seasons ? You think he's better than I do then. He was a very good QB with limited to no mobility. You had to have the talent stacked around him and I don't think he made anybody better.


Some would argue AROD is top 10 all time

Nobody IMO would mention Ben there

Latest draft on Fanspeak:
OT AUSTIN JACKSON USC
TE COLE KMET NOTRE DAME
LB AKEEM DAVIS-GAITHER APPALACHIAN STATE
WR COLLIN JOHNSON TEXAS

Davis-Gaither would be a steal in the 3rd round. Looks like his Senior Bowl performance will get him to climb the draft boards. Small school player, big time player.

I like Davis-Gaither, but he is like a big nickel or small outside linebacker. He is not an inside guy at all.

I like Mims a lot. He shows a lot after the catch, reminds me of Adams, high points the football, catches the ball away from his body. He can go back shoulder on some passes. Also a decent blocker on the outside.
The guy I hope has a decent combine, but nothing flashy is Tyler Johnson from Minnesota.

Cephus has question marks, and I am not talking about what happened in his apartment. I am talking about what his combine numbers are going to tell us. I am not sure he can run under a 4.5 forty. He is pretty good at catching the ball in close quarters, but I don't see a lot of separation from him. This is just watching as a fan, not scouting the guy for the next level. Cephus might be a steal in later round especially if teams pass on him for questions outside of the football field
