Never too early 2020 NFL Draft Thread

[pbmax]

it's kind of batshit crazy.

At one point he had a good core...Jennings, Nelon, Driver, Jones


When Gutebag cut Jordy they were all gone.

Patler warned us about this is 2010 I think.

[texaspackerbacker]

Yet he was nearly always a step ahead of everybody else because of them

Or maybe just making up shit

[mraynrand]

Notice how the Seahawks took my guy Jordyn Brooks?

They have been known to know a thing or two about LB’s. Hmmmm

What are you, his agent?

But I agree with the point about Seattle. Pittsburgh too.

Hey, which brings up a real important point, where is Patler?

He's with Fritz scoping out chicks

He will sense a disturbance in the force like Yoda and show up now that you said his name.

Cool, I figured it was something like that.

Yup. Me and Patler are the wild ones on this board.

Kind of interesting how similar Dillon and Deguara are athetically to Derrick Henry and Kyle Juszczyk

A.J. Dillon - 6'0" 247, 4.53 40, 7.19 3 cone, no shuttle, 41" vertical, 10'11" broad jump, 23 bench
Derrick Henry - 6'3" 247, 4.54 40, 7.20 3 cone, 4.30 shuttle, 37" vertical, 10'10" broad jump, 22 bench

Almost identical. Dillon beat him in every category (most by the thinnest of margins)--except he's 3 inches shorter.

Josiah Deguara - 6'2" 242, 4.72 40, 7.15 3 cone, 4.35 shuttle, 35 1/2" vertical, 9'7" broad jump, 25 bench
Kyle Juszczyk - 6'1" 248, 4.71 40, no 3 cone, 4.19 shuttle, 37" vertical, 10'1" broad jump, no bench, no bench

Juszczyk did a little better in everything, but these were results from his Pro Day. Those almost always end up better than test scores at the combine--moreso the 40, 3 cone, and shuttle and not the vertican and broad jump.

I remember reading some article a few weeks before the draft about how how running the ball might become more in vogue, teams were looking at what TEN did, and who might be the next Derrick Henry. All that segued into the draft and they mentioned the closest thing to Henry was Dillon.

As for Deguara, one of the things I heard about Vitale was he was pretty much maxed out at 6'0" and they needed someone a little bigger. Spending a Top 100 pick for an H-Back is a little rich, but if he becomes a swiss army knife like Juszczyk it's worth it for how it can help open up the offense and make it (as they say) "more multiple".

After all this “offensive football” we have had in Green Bay it is baffling to me why some people are so happy to aspire to be like the Tennessee Titans.

I have read countless posts about how 1st round receivers don’t equal Super Bowl Championships. Well either does copying the Tennessee Titans!!!

It's not my preferred blueprint, that's for sure. I'll say this: Tennessee got as far as GB did last season, and they did it with an inferior QB to Rodgers.
I do think the coaches and scouts know more about the team than we do. I'm very surprised, but mostly disappointed, they didn't draft a WR. They did draft a lot of offense, even if it was at different positions than I expected/hoped.

I don't think it means they are rebuilding, or that it's the apocalypse for the franchise -- they've had bad drafts before. I think it means last year was a transitional year for the offense, and this year they are shifting to more of the offense that MLF wants to run.

I would aspire to be the Titans with Rodgers as QB. Gives you a lot more options.

Stubby is gone. So is his offense. They ran him out of town. They (including Rodgers) better make this work or they’ll be packing their bags

Defense blew chunks early and late versus San Fran. A change in style isn't going to help that side of the ball.

That depends on what you mean by style.

I think they could re-scheme with the players they have to counter SFs run game. Mostly requires better discipline.

(As opposed to needing to bring in 2-3 new guys and totally scrapping their defense).

My thinking is that if the KC defense can stop SF, so can GB - at least enough to win a ball game with an improved better-than-the-Titans clock controlling offense
