2020 NFL Draft/Offseason thread

Probably the best place to play in the entire league if you’re a RB.

Yeah, they even let their RB play QB there!

Kansas City steals LB Willie Gay. Dude is a freak. Great pick up.

Wouldn't call him a freak he was a rd 3 projection.His freelancing will get him drilled on Sunday's.Was watching a preview show on FOX and the rip on him was he tackles upright a lot.They showed film and they were right.Go after Henry,Gurley or Chubb that way and you'll be peeking thru your ear hole.Maybe different if they use him in coverage or on the edge.If he can be coached to use his head he might be all that

there is no way I feel sorry for any GB QB

Maybe more of an LB or situational edge rusher on Sundays IMO.If the Lions were looking for an LB to stop the run I agree Braun should have been the pick

Okwara would make sense if the Lions ran a 3-4, I don't see him as a 4-3 OLB.  Zack Baun is.  He's a better fit, and it's not like he's a pure run stop guy, he was top 10 nationally in sacks.

It has to be the steroids stuff, but by the time you get to the third round, I think it's worth the risk.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cam Akers was the most productive RB of this draft.  His OL at FSU was atrocious. 

I think you’re right. Akers is super talented. Plus with Gurley gone, there is a huge opportunity for him to earn lot of carries in LA. 

I wouldn’t be surprised though if Taylor with that stud OL in Indi takes off. And Dobbins in Baltimore playing with Lamar and all those TE’s is a RB’s dream.

Willie Gay ran 4.45 at 6’1”, 243 pounds and had a 40” vertical at the combine. The only LB who ran faster was Simmons. 

His off-field issues are why he dropped.

[MrNubbz]

NFL doesn't give a rodents rear end about off field issues.Tyreek Hill broke his son's arms,there's a whole list Doesn't make him a freak,not saying he sucks but I watched some crappy angles and technique - he'll have to play smarter.Times at the combine don't mean a whole lot - what happens when the pads are on.Did you see the film of DJ Wonnum from S.Car. making tackles on the other side of the field behind the line at 6'5" real time quickness.The Vikings just picked him.Gay can be good,not calling him a steal or freak just yet

[MrNubbz]

Ravens got a good one in Harrison from tOSU great technique tackler in the open field and good combination of size and speed.They're having a good draft so far

[OrangeAfroMan]

NFL doesn't give a rodents rear end about off field issues.

The one day they do care is draft day.  Untold numbers of players have slid/dropped due to off-field issues.  But once you've shown you can play in the league, then their apathy rears its head.

[OrangeAfroMan]

With all these players getting drafted, assuming a full season, LSU might be an 8-4 team.  9-3 would probably be their most likely record.  Tell me I'm crazy.

. Browns: TE Harrison Bryant, Florida Atlantic

Grade: A. My top TE. Plays much more athletic on the field than his combine workout. Legitimate WR type routes and can separate at all levels of the field. Serious seam stretcher and not fun to bring to the turf after the catch. Flashes in contested-catch situations too. Solid in-space blocker. Could just beef up slightly. 

This guy may be good but TE isn't a pressing need so unless he turns into Charkie Sanders,color me not impressed.Or the Browns might be sending Beckham somewhere

His off field issues were academic in nature.So unless they are looking for Jeopardy contestants he fits in with most of the League

[MrNubbz]

I have zero faith in Eason. I’d take a flier on him in the 6th or 7th just bc of the size and arm strength, but still too many good players still on the board in the 4th rd.

Well that's where the Colts took him but they are pressed.Was there a better QB available?

[Cincydawg]

I think Eason is a decent risk as a flyer.  He never seemed to develop in college to what his potential suggested out of HS.  I don't know if that was coaching or his head.  He may be the reverse of Jake Fromm.
