Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[pbmax]

Akeem Davis-Gaither is a projection inside. So far versus the Ragin' Cajuns he has been outside the DE every snap. His burliest blockers are TEs and RBs.

He's not afraid to stick his nose in and he is active with his hands, but I think he starts out strictly as nickel/slot guy who is good in run support.

He can hold an edge versus a Tackle, if the tackle is cut down from behind by his own guy falling into his legs.

On bad guess on a gap. Make that two.

Some speed in recovery and he is not afraid to wrap up a hit.

Do we have to take a db every single year with one of our top picks or is that just our built in DNA at this point?

[RashanGary]

Markus Bailey ILB 3rd round maybe??

[call_me_ishmael]

Reports on this guy are that he's very talented but needs some coaching. High upside guy who might not be ready to start as a rookie.

He'd look really good as a first round pick behind Bulaga for a year or two, methinks.

[call_me_ishmael]

Jones might not be available at 30. His Senior bowl skyrocketed him into the first round. He is a super athletic tackle that has a high season. If he played at better program he would probably be a top 15 selection.

You think he can play LT? To me, they need to hit a homerun on OL this year. Bahktiari seems to have a lost a step and only has a year left. Bulaga is always hurt and might not even be resigned. They are almost certainly going to need two need tackles in two years, and probably at least one in one year. This is the year to draft them and get them ready in my opinion.

Last time we traded out we got Jordy. If that happened again it would be nice

[RashanGary]

Oops, jordy and Kevin King. And I like King a lot more than most. Better on pure cover guy than Alexander in my opinion

King is a good player; I don't see why people deny that.

Many hate King because TT f'cked up by trading down and leaving a state wide hero and perrenial Pro Bowler pass him by at the EDGE when he was right in our back yard.

[texaspackerbacker]

The reason some people deny that is that he gets beat in coverage so damn often. He does seem to have a nose for the ball - or maybe teams just throw it in his direction more often than other guys.

I honestly did not see T.J. Watt being as good as he has been as a pro. I thought he was more of a "system" player and maybe not even as good as Vince Biegel.

Teams completed 58% of passes when targeting receiver covered by King. 53% when targeting receiver covered by Alexander. King did give up 17 yards per reception compared to 14 for Alexander, so King was more prone to giving up big plays. Those percentages are lower than the completion percentages given up by Bears CB's, although Packers CB's gave up more yards per completion.

Is Joe Burrow thinking of pulling an Eli at the draft?

"I do have leverage," the former LSU quarterback said, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, during a reception in Fort Worth in which he accepted the Davey O'Brien Award, given to the nation's top college quarterback. "[The Bengals] have their process and I have my process. We haven't even gotten to the [NFL] combine yet. There's a lot of things that happen leading up to the draft and a lot of information gathered."

Cincinnati actually has some pretty good weapons if the bring A.J. Green back. It wouldn't be a bad place for him.

Right, it's not like it's Cleveland or Detroit.

It's pretty close though.

Markus Bailey ILB 3rd round maybe??

I don't dislike his film. He looks to be a possible cheaper version of Martinez.

Well they are picking first for a reason.
