2020 NFL Draft/Offseason thread

This is the Lions we are talking about. Are you sure Patricia will be fired? 

For as bad as they've been, they haven't been shy about churning coaches.

Lol it’s what they do. Go look back since Bobby Ross days. They fire coaches every couple years. I can’t think of one that lasted longer than 3 or 4 years since Ross.

Packers were 1 game away from the Super Bowl last year.

Do they get Rodgers help and take a weapon to pair with Adams in the 1st rd?

Nope. They trade up and take a QB in the 1st rd who played small ball and has turnovers problems.

It’s a bad pick. And Rodgers is a diva. And he’s petty. BAD IDEA.

I LOVE THE DRAMA THOUGH LOL!

Oh its a horrible pick. Might be a good situtation for Love though, he can follow the Jimmy G route to get totally paid w/ a few decent games. He's pretty raw and has to learn a few things.

Doesn't even need to look outside the organization.  Just be Matt Flynn, and throw for 400 yards in your one start

Kind of getting annoyed at Ravens for continuing to get really good players at the end of round 1

It’s why they are always good. 

And now that they have a very good dynamic QB in Lamar and not a shitty one like Flacco they are going to be a pain in the ass in the AFC for the next decade.

Tampa got its tackle. Maybe not the most plug and play ready one- that was Thomas from Georgia. 

Tampa however got by far the most athletic one. Tristan Wirfs was going in the top 10 in basically every mock I saw. I did not think he would be there when the Bucs picked at 14. 

Swift and Taylor still on the board in round 2. If they get either one of those guys- dear lord have mercy.

Also: love what Cleveland did signing Jack Conklin at RT and getting an instant plug and play starter at the other tackle spot in Jedrick Wills tonight. Baker has a massive upgrade upfront protecting him and paving the way for the backs at both tackle spots day one. 

With the huge upgrade at both tackle spots, Nick Chubb & the not-suspended Kareem Hunt together for an entire season at RB, OBJ & his BFF Jarvis at WR, the signing of TE Austin Hooper and with freakish TE David Njoku coming back from IR after missing most of 2019- look out.

If this new coach doesn’t suck and they can stay healthy omg this offense could be so dynamic.

Going to be really interesting to see what happens with Redskins All-Pro tackle Trent Williams tomorrow during day 2 of the draft. Williams basically hates Redskins management and is refusing to play there and demanding a trade.

Williams is going to be 32 when the season starts and he missed the entire 2019 season- so it’s not exactly like he’s a spring chicken that’s smack dab in his prime and there are no issues or risk with going after him in a trade- but he’s still a hell of a player and a sure-fire quality starting tackle.

He’s a a pretty big domino that has yet to fall.

I watched for ten picks and went to bed and read.  It was pretty boring for me, the lag between picks and all the chatter was a bit mind numbing.

The main thing I see is that Alabama and LSU lost a LOT of NFL caliber players and Ohio State recruits really well.

It’s so nice to see conversations about football again.  You can tell we all feel a bit bottled up.

Happy for Damon Arnette, who worked his tail off and got targeted all the time last year because he was on the other side of Okudah and was playing with a broken hand.

a lot of cap money for a 32 year old coming back off injury

Yup time will tell if hey's worthy of that pick.But he played in all 4 seasons and definetly honed his game and a good tackler.Ran a 4.5 at the combine but he wasn't bad in coverage.
