Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

Love this guy

Yeah, I've been on the Mims bandwagon for a while. I like him better than Reagor, I think they could get most of what Reagor gives them with another burner later in the draft (Duvernay?). I think there's a good chance one of Mims or Jefferson is there at 30 and those would be decent picks for a late R1 WR.

If the good OT and WRs are gone I'd think they look at trading down into early R2. Beginning to think the top 3 ILBs will be gone or not what they want/value, and aside from Blacklock I'm not sure who will be there for DL worth taking.

1. Announce a date

2. Do preparation that would tell you whether a date or not was feasible after the announcement.

Only on the Southfork Ranch

But who shot Fat Mike?

[wist43]

1 (30) Mims, Blacklock, Aiyuk, Reagor

2 (62) Peoples-Jones, Reagor, Kmet, Elliott, Bryan Edwards, Netane Muti, Darrell Taylor

3 (94) Bradlee Anae, Willie Gay Jr., Logan Wilson, John Hightower, Ben Bartch (Think he might go higher), Netane Muti, Darrell Taylor

4) Anae, Gandy-Golden, Logan Wilson, Quez Watkins, James Lynch

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.

Add Netane Muti, (G, Fresno) and Darrell Taylor ( Edge, Tennessee)

Muti and Taylor may drop because of injury

Tex, you want a "road grader"?? Muti is your boy... love this guy!!

Wist, Muti is listed at 6'3" 307. That doesn't sound very road graderish to me, but I'll check him out.

A very Packer-type receiver I have been researching is USC's Michael Pittman. He's tall and big bodied with good size/athleticism combo that Packers seem to prefer. He could be had in the third or fourth round.

Also like UCLA RB Joshua Kelley, mostly because he seems like a 5th or 6th round pick that could contribute on offense in a year or two, which is great value.

And Antonio Gibson, a WR/RB hybrid in the vein of Montgomery. He can return kicks if nothing else, but could become an offensive weapon and could be had in the late rounds or perhaps may even go undrafted. Had a pretty solid combine, so maybe not. But he screams Deebo Samuel. Most likely will not happen, but could be worth the pick if he falls enough.

Look no further than #87

Cephus would be a nice pickup in the 4th or 5th. I've warmed on him.

Great mean streak. The last play on the linked vid is a screen. It called for the line to let rushers through. Muti threw his rusher to the ground before releasing into the second level. Bwahaha!

Seems a little stiff and slow in his feet for what we like to do, though. And he was off his feet a lot in that video. Gotta question his balance.

@Tex, he was 315 on the scales at the combine.

I don't think he'll get to our round 5 pick

I think the odds are he's gone by our 4th but that's where I'm hopeful GB picks him up

Pick up a big play WR in round 1/2, and Ceephus in Round 4 and I think AROD's is loving life and accelerating his stats his last 3-5 years

This is the kind of receiver the Packers need. Possible late 1st round pick.

Jalen Reagor - TCU

I'd love one of Raeger, Jefferson, or Mims to drop to us in round one and then Ceephus in round 4 and we're set at WR for a long time.

Raeger really gives us something we don't have, but Mims seems to give us exactly what GB needs as well. He's Jordy like but maybe with more natural ability. The way Mims adjusts and catches the back shoulder throw would be something Rodgers hasn't had since Jordy left.

I really like all three.

And I'll go on record as saying If we pick a WR in round one, and a top tier WR drops into our lap in round two I'd go back to back.

Although, I know that would gash my hopeful selection in round 4

Aiyuk looks explosive but very raw. Ton of talent but he didn't run many routes in college. Maybe Cordelle Patterson like. I like Jefferson, Mims, and Raeger all more than Aiyuk.

Yes, but some of those slants and double moves were gnarly. A lot of Patterson's college yardage was created through his evasiveness with the ball in his hands when compared to Aiyuk - a suppressed skill in the NFL. Kind of easy to see why MN would take him, he's not a technician, but a freak. Aiyuk less freak, hopefully more of a technician.

Really Patterson had 500 fewer receiving yards in his final college season than Aiyuk. A lot of his yards were generated in other ways. Athletically, Aiyuk actually reminds me of Adams a lot. Saying that, he is a lot more appealing as a second rounder.
