Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[run pMc]

Cephus ran a 4.73 40? Yikes. Back to the tape, else he's UDFA/Day 3.

Last year GB's GM went to the FA market and repaired some of the packers defensive needs. This year Martinez must be signed to a new multi-year contract. He will need some real help at ILB before the 2020 season begins

Most of the experts agree that GB needs a true Deep Threat WR. The Packers must acquire one through the next draft (a trade up if practical) or with a FA hire.

Right Offensive Tackle is also a concern. Bulaga is aging and has been plagued with injuries. He may play another 1 to 2 years, but a real replacement needs to be acquired and trained before they are required.

As I stated before, sign Martinez and get him some help at ILB.

Sternberger may emerge as the starting TE this year.

It does not require more than a year to see that Rashan Gary is a big BUST. Clinging to the false hope that GB did not waist last seasons 14th overall draft choice is simply crazy. They thought they could take a large/strong fellow and train him to play in the NFL. I salute the effort that went into it, but as large/strong that Rashan Gary is, he will never be a starter in the NFL. In addition, others will push him out of the roster as time moves forward. I say loose the deadwood now and move on.

A couple of talented WRs who weren't expected to run 4.4 just ran 4.4.

Looks like the WR depth is gonna last till our pick for sure now.

But, being a big guy first believer, i do hope a stud OT slips to us, then move up in the 2nd for the WR

Speed is certainly a primary consideration. However speed couts little if a player can't catch footballs. Yes separation from defender/s is important, but usually a WR must battle to make catches. I too want a deep threat WR with speed, but it does no good if he can't catch footballs. I still say trade up to get the #1 or #2 rated WR in the 2020 Draft.

That's why I specified "talented". Top producing guys who made play after play in college. Guys already talked about in the top 2 rounds based on game tape.

I don't often agree with you, Radagast, but you got things right in this post.

I agree, we really need to get Martinez signed. Help for him? Yes, but not very early in the draft.

A deep threat pass receiver, yes, for sure.

Maybe just going with what we've got at TE? Yeah; I haven't had a high opinion of Sternberger, but he was drafted high enough and shown just enough that there is hope. I also have had a low opinion of Tonyan, but if it's true he was slowed by injury, then maybe there's hope for him too.

An offensive tackle? Yes, partly because Bulaga may not be there and is so injury prone. Also, however, Bakhtiari is a free agent next year, and his play and maybe his health has deteriorated. I wouldn't be surprised (or upset) if we don't re-sign him.

waste, not waist hahahahaha - on that last paragraph, I tend to disagree with you. Gary needs coaching and experience, but I think there is still good hope he will be a quality starter at some point, and not a waste.

My best hope for our first round pick is D Line - somebody like Raekwon Davis to pair with Kenny Clark. Then WR and OT in the second and third - in either order.

Appalachian State LB Akeem Davis-Gaither will have surgery Tuesday with Dr. Robert Anderson for a partial stress fracture in his right foot that has bothered him since the season, source said. It’ll be a 6- to 8-week recovery, so healthy in plenty of time for his rookie year.

I watched the Syracuse game and I have to say I like Gandy-Golden's film almost as much as I like the name. He has great hands, and although he doesn't have much make ya miss qualities he is a big body kid that keeps his legs pumping through contact. He is a load to bring down in the open field. I do have questions about his abilities against good press coverage as even in the Power 5 conferences you don't see NFL level press from corners week in and week out, you are not going to see it with the competition that Liberty faces.

You could burn a 4th round pick on him and look like a complete genius, or if he fails no one will care because it is a 4th round pick.

I agree... that's about where I was thinking of him, 4th round.

Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor... really like this guy.

Guess he lit up the combine too... was hoping he would fly under the radar and drop some.

Kind of like Ke'Shawn Vaughn as a backup RB.

Getting a Jet and a Javelin ought to help team speed though

Malik Harrison is a LB who would likely improve the run defense. https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/m...son/jwjnJK4KyJ Is 2nd round too early to take a guy who might have to come off the field in dime situations?
