Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[wist43]

1 (30) Mims, Blacklock, Aiyuk

2 (60) Peoples-Jones, Reagor, Kmet

3 (90) Bradlee Anae

4) Anae, Gandy-Golden, Logan Wilson

These are all guys I've looked at and liked... not sure where they'll be slotted yet, and there has been some wild deviation in the mocks.

Will reference this post as we go along, add to it, and moves guys around.

1st round though I'm hoping for Mims or Blacklock regardless of who else is there.

I like the Texas Christian guys in Reagor and Blacklock. Reagor or Mims could be first round guys along with Blacklock, but I don't think any of them will be there at 60.

The Packers have some multiple late round draft picks that they could use to move up in rounds. I think if the Packers still feel strongly about inside linebacker even though they never do, they could trade up 4 or 5 picks in the first round to secure Queen. I wouldn't trade up to get Murray.

Regardless they still need to draft dudes to solidify the middle of the defense which has been really weak for several years now, and they need some route runners at wide receiver and tight end.

I said my peace about Peoples-Jones, Gute should love him because he is one of the top athletes in his position group but has zero production.

I don't know much about him, but didn't we fall for that last year with pick 12 ?

Great Athlete; zero production...the fifth and sixth rounds are for those guys.

Draft tape, draft production, draft the player. Don't fall in love with the numbers

I was sort of referring to the 12th pick last year

Not a fan of the hyphenated crowd. Almost as bad as the Jr./Sr. crowd.

The scouting report on Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore sounds intriguing. Thoughts?

Most scouts really like him. Disruptive etc. Thought I read somewhere he might not be a great fit for Pettine's scheme

And 6M dollar plug and play RTs aren't that hard to find

Somewhat disagree. If you're FA shopping for a good starting RT you're paying Bulaga/Conklin money.
I tend to think of plug-and-play as you put that guy in without any worries...to me, Wagner is a step down from Bulaga performance-wise but not health-wise. I see Wagner as more of a quality stopgap. If Gute is smart - and I think he is - he'll draft his future starting tackle in a few weeks.

FA is definitely an exciting time, but the thing is more often than not teams are overpaying for mediocre players, and breaking the bank for the really good ones.

I like Gallimore, but he has some shortcomings.

Based on his highlight tape I thought he looked like 1st rounder, but when you watch his regular game tape his inability to change direction becomes apparent.

He's lightning quick off the snap, and very fast for a DT, but seems to lack overall athleticism and bend. I took him out of 1st round consideration.

I like Blacklock a lot better... would be happy with him at 30.

Of all the wide receivers that could be had, Wist, why would you want Peoples-Jones? He wasn't even the best WR on the Michigan team.

Ugh. Another all show, no go.

I have to watch him some more, but I think the talent is there.

His QB was horrific, and you can see on tape that he's not a good route runner... it will depend on whether a team thinks he's a good kid and be coached through it.

Not sure where his value is at right now, but I see his upside.

[Deputy Nutz]

DPJ is the offensive version of Rashan Gary. Seems to have all the right tools, Film is actually pretty good when you look at it, you just don't see the great production. People-Jones has really spectacular hands, he had to if he wanted to catch any passes at Michigan because he was very seldom ever hit in stride. His first 5 yards are really good because it doesn't take long for him to get up to speed. He attacks the press with speed and physicality. He also navigates zones pretty well. Watch the Ohio St game, he was actually open quite a bit but the line play and QB play made it nearly impossible for him to get the ball.

[Fritz]

I'm not saying he's a bust, but I think he didn't produce like they pimped him to.

I think I heard the same thing about another recent high Michigan draft pick somewhere. I can't remember specifically who, though.

Per @RobDemovsky, the #Packers have "expressed an interest" in Baylor WR, Denzel Mims.

He's also heard from multiple sources that the Packers "like him a lot."

How would you feel if the Packers took Mims at 30th overall?

DEMOVSKY DIDN'T EVEN TWEET THIS HIMSELF, SO I THINK THIS IS LESS NEW THAN THE BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS FACT OF THE PACKERS CHECKING OUT POSSIBLE FIRST ROUND TALENT AT WR

[run pMc]

It's not news that they've looked into Mims. IMO it would be news if they didn't...I think he's a top 50 talent and he'd be a reasonable pick at 30.
I think Gute will pick a big trench guy (DL or OL) unless there's only reaches left at that point they look to WR for Round 1. (Also assumes the best ILBs are gone or they value other positions more.) There's enough depth where they can wait until R2 to still get a good WR.
