Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

John Michaels...I think those were all OK

uh....no.

Ron Hallstrom ��

Y'all forgot Derek Sherrod.
Agree with Rand... Michels was not a long term solution to LT.

I'd be surprised if they didn't spend a pick on OT in the first two days... I'll leave it at that. Too many variables predicting when your pick is at 30 to say who they'll draft.

Sherrod was a bust

Even the four cited as successes were far from superstars and IMO way less than you'd expect from a first round pick (with the possible exception of Ruettgers). And it ain't just the Packers that have had very limited at best success drafting O Linemen in the first round.

I want a D Lineman with our first pick - there are so many quality WRs that it ain't necessary to use our top pick there.

Raekwon Davis in the first, Devin Duvernay in the second, maybe an O Lineman in the third.

Those are better numbers than a lot of the top Tight Ends in this draft

Got ourselves a math major here.

reduce your own fractions, you lazy sob.

We still putting mocks in this thread? Did one today out of boredom. James Morgan was picked immediately after the last Packers selection. I could see the argument for taking him instead of Divinity.

Cephus ran a 4.56 at his proday. Even if he's 4.66, he's the first Anquon Bolden / Hines Ward throwback in a while. Whoever gets him in the 3rd round is probably gonna be celebrating that pick for a long time.

A 4.56 is a big improvement...but the spectre of the 4.7 combine time is going to worry some teams. I'd bet teams will look at the tape to see where his game speed is. I don't think anybody was going to consider him a burner anyway.
I noticed Orr ran a 4.65 and jumped 36.5" in the vert -- those are good numbers for an ILB. (His 9-2 broad jump is a little low, but still...I could see him sticking on a team as a ST demon/depth player.)

Like TJ Watt, the GB brass has had the opportunity to watch him excel and witness his game day speed and acceleration once the ball is in the air. They also have the means to research what happened in Madtown and see the injustice and they would know he was on of the most popular and likeable Badgers among the players and press.

GB should catch the ball this time

I think the 4.56 mostly erases the 4.7. The 4.56 is likely more in line with what people have seen from his tape. he was never seen as a burner, but I don't think he was expected to be the slowest WR in the 40 either. The 4.56 makes the 4.7 look like a fluke.

The 4.73 was bad. It was an outlier. His game was never based around speed, but a 4.73 really surprised a lot of people, I think scouts really wanted him to run better at his pro day as a 4.56 makes more sense for Cephus than a 4.73

Orr is fire plug. He is a work out warrior to maximize his talent which is a good thing. His biggest knock is that he is under 5'11". He is a hit or miss tackler, He has instincts and is at his best when he is moving down hill. Which is a theme with mid to late tier linebackers.
