Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[RashanGary]

If you played the 49ers every week, probably not. If you play in the NFL, probably.

1st round i like Queen ILB and Josh Jones OT


2nd round i like Pittman WR and Logan Wilson ILB

Latest CBS mock has Packers taking Justin Jefferson WR LSU

That would be exciting! Kind of a polished product as far as draft picks go

[RashanGary]

Pittman reminds me so much of jordy. I've got my fingers crossed for round 2

I like Jefferson quite a bit, but like Mims more; and I like both of those guys over Pittman. I see Pittman as more of a 4th rounder.

Would be happy with Mims or Queen in the first... long way to go though. Lot of players left to look at.

Agree Pittman will probably be there after Round 2. I like Jefferson and Mims, haven't really seen much of Pittman yet but he's not bad.
Between the Senior Bowl and Combine, Mims is a Top 50 player now. The WR depth in this draft is very good, so if they don't take a WR in R1 I'm not worried.

Given how quiet things are re: Bulaga, I'm thinking they lean towards taking an OT in Round 1. The thing is, at #30 there are so many things that can happen you just have to set a good board and be prepared for anything.

I just don't want more tall receivers. I want Greg Jennings and Donald Driver to be the model. Get great separation by being quick and tremendous route runners.

Among the great unanswered Packer questions:

1. Why did Wolf actually leave after '99?
2. Did Sherman really shut out scouts from draft prep?
3. What did Chris Jacke do?
4. What did Wayne Simmons do?
5. What happened to the two people that Thompson hired to teach him analytics related to the draft?
6. Does the former Viking guy who ran numbers for McCarthy still work there and does he actually just produce ranked lists?

The big WR in the slot question (Gute versus LaFleur, whose bright idea was this in 2018) is the one we need an answer to immediately.

Not having access to some of the more thorough Packer information through newspaper websites is complete garbage.

And I mean garbage.

6. Does the former Viking guy who ran numbers for McCarthy still work there and does he actually just produce ranked lists?

Mike Eares (sp?) quit a few years back. I think he retired.

As for the big slot WR, the JSO guys seem to think that's a Gute thing and he still likes it.

What are the rumors or speculated answers to most of these?

What are the rumors or speculated answers to most of these?

1. Why did Wolf actually leave after '99? Talent drain and coaching issue (why stick around for another rebuild? His answer is tired of dealing with salary cap.
2. Did Sherman really shut out scouts from draft prep? Short term needs based drafting versus long term but honestly, as a novice GM, could be lots of reasons for conflict.
3. What did Chris Jacke do? Joke is he punched a coach or dated a daughter, no idea the truth
4. What did Wayne Simmons do? Was possibly, completely off his rocker
5. What happened to the two people that Thompson hired to teach him analytics related to the draft? The Truth Is Out There
6. Does the former Viking guy who ran numbers for McCarthy still work there and does he actually just produce ranked lists? In the most boring development, he apparently retired. I suspect he gave McCarthy ranked lists because that is how M3 understand "the numbers".

The big WR in the slot question (Gute versus LaFleur, whose bright idea was this in 2018) is the one we need an answer to immediately. Evidence points to Gute, blocking for outside zone or not. But its still possible he is staying in lock step with his coach.

I completely 100 percent agree. It might actually be a wasted pick to do that.

What this offense is missing is that short area quickness and speed your talking about to stress the middle of the defense with the ability to get chunk plays. Until we do that I don’t think it really matters who we get on the outside unless it would be someone elite.

They tried big slot(which I never liked) and we ended up with guys not getting enough separation. If Reagor is there I think you have to take him. We’re running out of time.

1. Said he no longer had the energy to do the job the way it needs to be done. His last draft makes this believable.

3. Word was he was seeing Holmgren's daughter even though he was married.

1, I think Wolf just burned out and needed a break
2. No way
3. Didn't he hook up with a coaches relation ?
4. He was a Odell Thurman kinda guy. Reckless, insane. As a player we loved to watch him. But I think while the DC loved him he rubbed the head coaches really bad and they wanted to move on from Simmons
5. Ted in the last few years lost his competency and forgot he hired them. They are not in Cleveland
6. No clue what you are talking about on this one so I can't even offer a smart ass response
