The 'Who you watching?' 2020 thread.

I don’t see it this season. we have three teams ahead of us that need QBS at 1,5 and 6 and this is basically a 3 QB draft Burrow, Herbert and Tua and honestly I see Tua taking a dive.
two teams just behind us won’t take a QB Jets and Raiders but after that 13,14,15, and 16 all need QBs. Any of those teams can trade up and 12 is great spot for that to get just ahead of the pack.
if Hebert falls past the Dolphins and Chargers we have a shot but at that point any number of teams that don’t need a QB from 7-12 have the same shot. Gonna be a buyers market
For starters I do not see Tua falling far at all. Every report was that the surgery went well so I expect he'll be medically cleared by most teams.
So for me the question becomes, "How many 'can't pass' players are there in this draft?" At first take starting with Burrow that looks like 8-10 to me, so those in front of us are less likely to trade back due to FOMO.
We could be the first team to seriously entertain offers.
And apparently there is a third OT starting to make some top ten noise... at least according to PFF... BAMA's OT Jedrick Wills...
"Wills has been a rocketship up draft boards this season — and for good reason. Wills improved by leaps and bounds, even as the season went along. He allowed 11 pressures all season but only one in his last five games."

I disagree with this statement. The injury Tua suffered is absolutely no joke. I'm an athletic trainer and I work with orthopedic surgeons on a daily basis. Every single one of them have said they wouldn't touch him if they were in charge of the medicals for their team. This injury is serious not just if he gets cleared early. It's the next 5 years. They essentially had to rebuild his acetabular socket with plates and screws. People may say he will recover just fine, but I will have to see it to believe it. IMOP, he's overrated anyway, but that is just my opinion before he got hurt.

I agree with everything you say.

CBS and Drafttek both have him being drafted as a safety. Either way it should be very interesting to watch both players in the NC game.
He isn't fluid enough to play safety full time. Tweener in every sense of the word but that works in the modern NFL. He's an off-ball WILL backer. See, run, get.
As for my comments on Jedrick Willis above - I wrapped up watching Bama vs SCar last night. I honestly don't know how I feel about the kid now. Be curious to see how he measures out at the combine. Specifically - his wingspan/arm length.

sounds true - having a lb who can cover like a safety is priceless. And he can tackle excellently. I like the kid.

We could certainly use his tackling, pass coverage skills and ability/skill set to blitz.
We need all three on defense.
I like Malik Harrison too. Very productive and more of the thumper type LB that we don’t have. He might be good mid round pick.
Depending on our next scheme Zack Baun Wisconsin too edge player. Another mid round guy that I think will be good at the next level -

No explanation needed. The draft seems so far away and I actually have the time to invest in tape this year.
First on deck is a bigger bodied kid who flashed a couple times in the Sugar Bowl. Late rounder who might slowly work his way up. Not a huge fan on how Baylor uses him, he isn't that mammoth 0, 2gapping nose. I see a plus sized,1 gap plugger (where he flashed) who becomes invaluable in rotation. Still needs work but I see the tools. This team needs DI's to help limit the running game. I'm starting here.

I watch a lot of Big Ten games throughout the year.
Nico Collins WR Michigan. Been on the radar since OSU-UM game 2018. 6-4” played boundary and slot performed through shaky QB play. Makes tough catches and looks like he’s a good athlete despite 6-4 220 frame.
Malik Harrison LB OSU not the typical highly rated OSU recruit Cbus kid. But developed the last two years. Instinctive. Not a great athlete but makes plays behind the line of scrimmage and in coverage. Played the role of eraser especially last season making up for assignment mistakes of fellow players. Later round steal.
Zack Baun Edge Wisconsin. Perhaps TJ Watt Part 2. Complete player. Find a place for him no matter the scheme. He’s probably going first round especially if he tests well

It looks like he has good hands and punch.
At 1:00 minute he was single blocked put on roller skates and taken out the play on the TD. And then next play he blows up a double team with great quickness and then Runs over a back.

Double teaming this tank was the best move Kirby Smart did in Georgia game also.took about under 1 quarter. Kid's motor never stalled though. Honestly. even with both starting Georgia tackles sitting & doubling #99..Georgia's TE's RB's OL blocked anything that moved... Edit- I also like your thought of finding a tall redzone target WR3.. Including myself, it went as a madding miss all season

Alex Taylor, OT, South Carolina. Would be around 4th/5th round gem ?
or, if he wows scouts at the Senior Bowl and combine... creeps into the late third round?
He's 6'9", 310 lbs. But he moves amazingly well - and is powerful.
Doesn't fit the "he's six-nine, has trouble with leverage, and quickness" mold.
He's a terrific kid, too.
Can't wait to see him play in the Senior Bowl, Sat. Jan 25th.

Keeping a complete open mind, so thanks for the suggestions. I would have liked to have seen either Chase Young or Jeff Okudah, a couple of Buckeyes (because that is really the only team I have "kept my eye on" this college football season) but neither of them will be there at 10.
If Okudah, for some reason, dropped to #10...it would be manna from heaven.
There are a couple of safeties perhaps in the mix: Delpit of LSU, and Simmons of Clemson
For DL: Derrick Brown Auburn?
And how about this name: Lamar Jackson DB Nebraska...for 2d round pick.
-
What am i seriously missing on this Delpit safety from LSU?...
I continue to see McKinney from Bama out play this kid, weekly..
Even re-watched the Sooner game and the guy Delpit seemed to shy away from contact all game long..
this browns defensive team seriously misses some angry, crazed. jacked up, lumber layers...and am still looking?

I don't know....I was only going by scouting reports, not by my watching of the games. I do hear that McKinny may be moving up. Also, this other CB from Ohio State, Shaun Wade.

WR Quintez Cephus, Wisconsin.
The kid gave Ohio State tons of trouble in the Big Ten Championship.

Yep him too. But Has he declared?
i mentioned yesterday I believe He has some Landry in him- competitor makes the tough catches looks like a good route runner.

Wade will announce tomorrow and there are a few insiders that believe he will stay.

Ah, he's a junior, not a senior. I guess I'll have to wait and see if he declares.

Correct me if am wrong? but This draft seems heavy on depth at WR/IDL/OT/QB/DE & maybe CB...LB'er & any Safety F or S maybe a reach?
I'll place this here for FA picture, but it's way to early, but some may see a rise in $tock because of it..

Since DT is not our highest priority here is the obligatory Aggie for round 3 or 4. Anchor of the defensive team did not play in the Teas Bowl (declared early and passed) was a RS Jr. this year. Rated by most services in the low 70's overall draft pick is Justin Madubuike primarily a 3-tec DT. Originally recruited as a very fast ILB added 50 lbs and moved to DT where he had 11 sacks his two starting years.
