Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[mraynrand]

Ron Wolf was responsible for 2000. That was a great GM year, possibly his best.

2001 not so much.

There was a lot to like about the combine and it answered some questions about positional depth. If you look at Wide receivers, a lot of 2 or 3 guys are going to come out of the combine with round 1 grades. The depth of the WR position is quite deep. Mims and Jefferson now have first round grades but that doesn't mean they are guaranteed to go in the first round.

Queen and Murray both had good combines, both hurt themselves physically at the combine as well.

Mims is getting mocked to the Packers everywhere.

Queen and Murray both got hurt and issued almost identical statements that they were just strains and each was already walking around on it.

The Tackle draft and Sherman's first draft.

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

5. Possibly still huddled in a cabinet somewhere with an ethernet connection and a stockpile of Code Red.

6. Very nice

Five starters and the Ahman Green Trade.

I like Mims, but there are so many wide receivers in this draft where the Packers could have a lot of potential in the 2nd and 3rd round to land a contributor in 2020.

Yep. I like the Ted maneuver if they want a WR as the first pick. Trade down and see if you can collect enough picks to trade for another 4th round pick.

Zach Baun is getting a lot of media coverage (possibly state media influenced) about moving inside at LB. Not sure if this is a result of teams talking to him or his team deciding its a good move for the draft.

Post Combine Mock Draft

Round 1, Jalen Reagor WR, TCU~ Gives us a type of player is desperately needed in this offense. Has the short area quickness and speed to stress the middle of the defense which will create mismatches for others. He is kinda Deebo Samuel 2.0. He can also help in return game, jet sweeps etc etc. Makes us more explosive day 1.

Round 2, Jordyn Brooks ILB, Texas Tech- Gives us a "sideline to sideline LB" that has higher upside in pass coverage then Martinez. He has some great film and some bad film but he played in a conference that runs offenses he won't see as much in NFL. IMO he projects really well to the NFL game. "twitchy" athlete that showed great speed for his size. He can shoot gaps and isn't afraid to tackle. Has really good ball skills. If Pettine can put him in the right situation he could be lethal. "Bobby Wagner Style"

Round 3, Lucas Niang T, TCU- This is an interesting spot here that potentially provides great value. Has some injury concern with hip but he is a prototype RT for Lafluers offense. He is a "Road Gradder" that can move people and has necessary talent to develop in passing game. Might have to trade up a few spots to get him here but IMO would be well worth it.

Round 4, Davon Hamilton DT, Ohio State- Gives us another big body upfront that can clog things up. Would provide immediate help in run game but will need some development in pass rush. He is big and powerful and tough to move that can take on double teams. BYE BYE Lancaster.
-
Round 5, AJ Dillon RB, Boston College- This would be sweet. Gives us a big "Power Back" that I like in Lafluers offense. Dillon is a beast and I believe a better version of Eddy Lacy.

Round 6, Quintez Cephus WR, Wisconsin- The slow combine 40 time allows him to slide to us here. Definitely worth a shot and I believe he will be a contributor in the NFL. His tape alone is worthy of this pick,

Apparently this guy has All-22 of some games featuring some of the higher ranked WRs:

Latest draft at Fanspeak:
WR CEEDEE LAMB OKLAHOMA
WR JALEN REAGOR TCU
DL RAEKWON DAVIS ALABAMA
LB TROY DYE OREGON

This would be a dream scenario and therefore unlikely. Just getting Lamb at 30 would be impossible.

[RashanGary]

I'm sticking with

Josh Jones (early pick lean toward rare big guys)
Michael Pittman (jordy clone)
Logan Wilson ILB (do everything machine at wyoming, sr bowl week standout and combine winner)

[Bretsky]

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.

I think Jefferson is a better propspec than Mims, who I like as well. Agree both over Pittman. Typically you hate all Badgers Wist. Curious as to whether that will be consistent with Cephus ?

This is insane iMO; I think I'd take those rour in returns for all of our draft picks. Lamb is long gone before we pick. Reagor is long gone by end of round 2. Davis is long gone by end of round 3 IMO. But that would be sweet !!!!!!!!!!!!!
