***OFFICIAL 2020 NFL Draft Thread*** (1 Viewer)

As a Ravens fan, I couldn’t be happier about getting Queen without having to trade up. They beefed up the D Line with Calais Campbell and Derek Wolfe and that should leave Queen clean to play sideline to sideline. 

Now have 2 picks in both the 2nd and 3rd tomorrow to pick up interior O Line, WR, and best players available 

Little surprised at the CB run tonight. If the position is that important then how does Marcus Peters go for a 4th rounder in the middle of last season?

 
CEH looks like a damn moving fire hydrant. There's no grace there, nothing that makes someone a special runner other than leverage.

I think the Steelers and Texans are both pretty happy with what they got with their 1st round picks. I'm not sure i'd call SF a winner, can't help but think they'll regret passing on WR's for Kinlaw. Aiyuk isn't in the same league as Jeudy/Lamb/Ruggs in my opinion.

Agree 100% on Tampa being a big winner. Wirfs could easily be the best OL in the draft.  I'd say a big winner is Dallas. I have no idea how you defend that offense right now.Really like Denver getting Jeudy as well, and he compliments Sutton perfectly. 

I'd call Miami a loser. I think they got Tua and then went nuts taking super boom/bust guys who were really risky picks. Jackson over Jones and Cleveland feels like a move that could blow up in their faces. Igbinoghene is a huge project at a position they have already invested a ton in. 

I think the Titans made a huge reach for Wilson. Could have really used a CB or DL there. I'd call the Raiders a loser as well. Right positions, wrong players. Very rare to see 2 second(at best) bananas in the 1st round.

I kinda felt like teams that had more than 1 first rounder, pretty much all did poorly with their extra 1sts. I don't know if they feel like they are playing with house money at that oint or what, but there were a lot of reaches and unnecessary risks in my opinion. Round 2 looks loaded to me. 

 
Last season, CEH had 15 more catches than Henry Ruggs and 12 more catches than Jalen Reagor. Chiefs are going to have fun with him.

Because Peters was due a big extension, and was kinda floundering with the Rams. It was obviously a great move by the Ravens, but not an indication of Peters value as a player. Teams didn't want to give up much for a guy who might play half a season and then leave.

I too liked the Queen pick. I actually thought that was who Green bay was trading up for, which would have been a hell of a lot better than what they actually did.

 
Ravens doing their press conference now, GM says there are still 25-30 guys on the board who are immediate impact players and they’ll get 2 tomorrow with 2 second round picks

Really hope they go interior OL and WR. More fun tomorrow!

Brett Veach told Andy Reid that Clyde Edwards-Helaire woud remind him of Brian Westbrook. Andy Reid watched him, then called back and said he’s better than Brian.

Going to be an interesting 2nd round for fantasy. Could see Colts, Lions, Texans, Tampa, Dolphins, even teams like the Jags and Cinci possibly target RB’s in the top half of the round. Although there are a ton of good players on the board still that could push the RBs down.

 
That packers pick made my night.   Otherwise totally lame draft television wise.  Thought they’d have more mic’ed up stuff to liven it up.

I think we'll see Taylor, Swift, Dobbins and possibly Akers in the 2nd rd

Looking for the Lions to grab an edge.

One of the last 3 from that list would make my day. Gross-Matos/Cleveland/epenesa would be sweet. Wouldn’t be too upset if they took swift or mims although I hope they take def/oline. With the wr depth in this class I really hope we draft eventual replacements for Jones/amendola- at least one of them. Lots of good slot guys out there in this draft, and while I like amendolas grittiness, he’s just not that good.

That is so scary...I think this was such a smart pick...unbelievable bang for the buck adding a weapon like this at RB for that offense...KC is built around Mahomes and is a dynamic offense...their RB situation was nothing special but now it could be...Damien Williams can play and if CEH approaches Westbrook status it can go to another level which is frightening...they also get him on a 5 year contract so they probably don't have to use another decent asset on this position for a long while...they can now add to their D but I don't think they could have gotten a more impactful player for how this team is built then a big-time RB.

The night was first very pleasant when the Eagles past on Jefferson and we got him. Then we wisely traded down and stocked up more picks and likely got the guy targeted at 25 anyway (I’d have like McKinney or Jones considered but can’t fault the cb pick as it’s a huge need). 

And then GB passes on giving Rodgers any help. :lmao:

Ridiculous.  

Jordan Love is a great pick for GB

Minkah Fitz is better than Miami's selection

Aaron Rogers disagree's.

GB was one or two players away last year. This pick does nothing to change that.

Are they going to draft someone at the end of round 2 that will make an impact this year? Doubtful.

After round 1, NFC teams around GB all getting better week 1. GB drafted a player that won't make an impact for 3 years (or more)

Your Hall of Fame QB takes you to the NFC Title Game and you trade up in the 1st round to get his replacement?  LOL

Rogers claims he wants to play until he's 40. Suppose Love is future trade bait ...  ala Jimmy Garapollo. But would they get more than a first for him??

Still does nothing to help GB win a title this year or next ...

Sooo many quality players available in that spot that could have contributed right away.

I'm no GB fan ... but if I were, I'd be nauseous today thinking what could have been.

Could you imagine Patrick Queen in yellow and green running loose in the middle of that defense this year? ...

Still quality at O-Line there with Josh Jones or Isaiah Wilson ...

If you don't like or have a need for these players, trade back to early / mid round 2, ala NEP, and grab your WR there ... Higgins, Mims likely gone before their next pick late rd 2.

oh, what could have been GB.

I thought for sure they were going with Denzel Mims. He just seems like such a Green Bay type.

Definitely like Aiyuk better than N'keal Harry. Is able to separate. Not sure that'll translate to much fantasy success however there in SF.

They were on the same team at the same time and Harry had more than double the yards, triple the TDs so I have a real hard time saying Aiyuk is anywhere near as good.

We were 1 bad quarter of football away from the Super Bowl last year. I guess now is the time to plan the rebuild, maybe trade up in the 1st to get a guy who best case scenario doesn't play a game for 2 years. 

 
NFL.com analyst Ian Rappaport reports TCU DL Ross Blalock is a player Cincinnati is considering with the 33rd pick in the NFL Draft.

Blalock (6'3/290) checks all the boxes in terms of possessing the requisite athleticism at the next level, but scouts have indicated a desire to see those traits show out on a more consistent basis. A relentless pass-rusher, Blalock can be hit-or-miss as a run stopper at times. An achilles injury cut short his 2018 campaign, but Blalock managed to largely regain his old form upon his return last season. Blalock would plug a hole on the defensive line for the rebuilding Bengals.

NFL.com analyst Ian Rappaport reports Baylor WR Denzel Mims is a player the Bengals are considering with the 33rd overall pick.

Mims (6'3/207) was considered a possible first-round selection in the wake of his impressive February combine showing, but Rappaport indicates he might not have to wait long to be selected on Day 2. Mims offers elite 4.38 40-yard dash speed while also possessing the body control and leaping ability to serve as a force in the red zone. He has the tools to be a complete wide receiver at the NFL level and would serve as an enticing weapon for new Bengals QB Joe Burrow should the Bengals pull the trigger on Mims.

Eduardo Encina of the Tampa Bay Times believes that the Buccaneers could target a running back on Day 2 of the draft.

The Buccaneers pick 45th and 76th on Friday, and they addressed their offensive line needs by getting (stealing, really) Tristan Wirfs of Iowa with the 13th pick. We saw just one tailback selected on Thursday -- Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the Chiefs with the last selection of the night -- so there are plethora of tailbacks available, and Tampa Bay does appear to have a need at tailback; with all due respect to Ronald Jones. Someone like D'Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor or J.K. Dobbins could make sense for the Bucs on Friday.

That can't possibly be right, can it? Seems like more people pronounce it that way than "Tah-go...", which I believe is correct.

Will Cain just said on his show that it is pronounced Tongovailoa "even though there is no 'N' in it."

Interesting.

Yeah I doubt they do this if the Rodgers/Favre thing hadn't happened in their past and worked out so well.  I think it clouded their judgment.

Everyone is playing longer now than before.  A 36 year old QB isn't as old as it used to be, relatively.  Rodgers could easily have 4-5 years of quality play left in the tank.  It was WAY to early to draft his replacement, especially on a team that is a contender right now.

ETA: This also shouldn't have had the allure of the Rodgers situation as in that case it was a guy that was considered potentially the #1 player in the draft available in the 20's.  In this case Love went about where everyone expected so it's not even like it was some great value this time.
