Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[Joemailman]

Burrow will be going to a bad team. The Bengals with A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd and Joe Mixon at least have better offensive weapons than most bad teams. Their offensive line is bad though, ranked 30th by PFF. LT Jonah Williams, their 1st round pick from 2019 who missed the whole season with a torn labrum will be back though.

The Bengals are a terrible organization but what better organization does he have leverage to get to? I think a lot of the "The Giants are a model organization" talk has fallen by the wayside in recent years. I seem to recall most HC candidates required significant front-office and organizational changes to be made if they were to play ball with them reported by Rapoport or something.

The other teams in the top 6 or 7 aren't really any better.

He'll be a Bengal. It's not an outlier year where a respectable team tanked. The teams with the worst records are the worst organizations this year.

I find this as one of the best resources for the draft. A bunch of different opinions on players.

Cephus is listed as a top 15 receiver. First time I have seen him make a list.

Yeah Cephus and a few other players have moved around their board -- Cephus made a big jump up by about 2 rounds I think, from like 170 to 110. It's combine week so many players will move around.

Packers will have to take Cephus in 3rd(or trade back up) if they want him.

Just do it Gooter

I wouldn't trust the Bengals to not screw this up if I am Burrow.

If he asks Archie, Archie would make say make a stink.

LOL Let's see how he interviews and runs.

Currently looking at Juaun Jennings -- not sure how fast he is, but he is one tough hombre with the ball. Would like a little more speed/urgency on some of his deeper routes but for the short to intermediate game he could be a decent late round pick. Had a run in with previous coach regime, played well after that. Interview and combine, as always, will help sort out if/where he's draftable.

#Auburn DT Derrick Brown — Watch this clip...

• Beats the guard off the jump
• Forces the ball to bounce

Now, stay with Brown throughout the play. This is awesome effort. Run to the ball...

Nice effort. But did he over pursue opening up the cutback lane?

No, backside containment was not his responsibility.

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

Bailey

Similar to Martinez.... Maybe faster?? Maybe more instinctive in coverage??

I don't know if I would say any of those things. I liked Martinez coming out of the draft in 2016. I thought the Packers got good value for him in the 4th round.
I will tell you this though, the Packers love the 3 cone drill when it comes to their linebackers, Martinez had the second fastest 3 cone among linebackers in the 2016 draft

The funny thing is that if he had been taken with the 5th overall pick, he'd be a total disaster of a pick, right? But the weird things is that no matter where he was picked, no matter his three cone, the Packers are still stuck with a guy who isn't good enough for the spot he's in without more support. So if they keep him or a guy like him in the middle, they have to get better elsewhere (pass coverage LB upgrade, DL upgrade).

You don't need an All-Pro at every spot. But it would help have an All-Pro next to each non-All Pro.

Too many All Pro holes.
