The 'Who you watching?' 2020 thread.
-
Most tape-watching posters there seem to have joined Camp Thomas. Wills has a good share of supporters as well. Jones seems to be the under-watched prospect.
Watching that video of Lombardi talking about Thomas - Thomas won't be there at ten. My stupid mock idea of trading back a bit and drafting Josh Jones seems to be risky now. The Jets, picking right after us, have had a video conference with Jones.
Well, half the NFL has, the Browns have. Jones needs more coaching in some things, most kids coming out of college do, I reckon.
I have Jones squarely at two, just a hunch - there are questions about Wills' demeanor..."meanness" ? Which just means "question" him about it, etc. Which could be nothing to worry about.
I wish somebody would find Lombardi doing that appraisal of Josh Jones - I couldn't find one. Andrew Thomas really looks the part of an immediate LT star. Lombardi does a GREAT job, I think.
It's getting to be time to have more talksies with Flugels again on oline play and learn more stuff. Confusing - now it looks like Thomas, Jones and Wills will be gone like a freight train before the fifteenth pick.

Based on appraisal of the OT position, yes, but it's so much more complicated than that.
First there are the other positions to consider... If three QBs go in the Top Ten, and It's likely they will (Burrow, Tua, Herbert)... add Young., Simmons and Okudah who are all Top Ten worthy... and you have 6 slots gone. That leaves three between us and our OT...
Add that while I love the value of Thomas and Jones at 10, I would not spend our #10 and #41 (or a future #1) to move up to take either. Obviously doesn't guarantee that no team will trade up for an OT, but at least the value in doing so is not obvious... at least to me.
So Jones at #15 is one of many possible scenarios. And that's what teams are busy doing now... creating various scenarios and rehearsing their reactions including feeling out other teams intentions and willingness to deal picks later this month.
Then it all depends on how the Draft unfolds in reality.
Best news? It's gonna be here before you know it.

" I see Tristan Wirfs especially early on in his career as a guy that might start out as a Guard..."
Just reread this and made me wonder... when has a prospect ever started out at OG and then moved to OT?
I've seen vets do it on an interim basis when a starting OT is hurt and the OL is shuffled, but can't think of a single instance of a starting OG moving on to be a starting OT.

I was reading one of the links htownbrown posted in another thread that included this tidbit from Phil Savage...
The top tackle on the Baltimore draft board was UCLA’s Jonathan Ogden.
“We felt so strongly about him, we drafted him knowing he’d play guard his first season,” said Savage. “We had (former Brown) Tony Jones at left tackle. But we knew J.O. (Ogden) would be our left tackle for 10 years.”
That’s what happened in Baltimore. Ogden took over the left tackle position in 1997, holding it down for the next 11 years. He is now in the Hall of Fame.
So have a sorta example except Ogden wasn't inserted at OG to fix anything or "season him", but rather to simply make him a place to play.

I'm half way through the Texas game.
Murray will end up being the best looking LB in this class before it's all over IMHO.
End up? He's already the #1 ILB in this draft class. Not busting your balls here because I appreciate the passion and work you put into this for us. Anyway, aside from what I've seen online - the only 2 draft guides I bought rate him as the #1 ILB. In his Conference Championship game vrs Baylor - he had 8 solo tackles 2 assists, 1 sack and 1 PD. And the year before as a soph, in the CFP Semifinal vrs Alabama - he had 7 solo tackles, 8 assists and .5 sacks. His soph year was his best year vrs the run with 71 solo tackles, 84 assists and 4.5 sacks; BUT only 2 PD (which improved to 4 passes defensed as a junior in 2019). Looks like a bigger version of Mike Johnson.
So, what can he improve on? In his 42 starts in 3 years, he has 0 INTs and only 6 passes defensed. So, my best guess here is his biggest challenge will be his pre-snap awareness/reads that promote the quick recognition to get him to the inside hook zones on time to be efficient. A lot of that comes with experience as Joe Schobert reminded us. And now that he's really good at defending the pass, Jax gets the player we developed. Looking at what we did in FA for the 3 openings in our LB Corps, we added the ILB/MLB BJ Goodson (1 year contract only though) which still leaves us looking for 2 starters at OLB. It'll be interesting to see what we do at LBer in this draft.

- I'm looking at Murray as a WILL backer. I don't want him banging around on the interior too much. So his direct competition for that lofty #1 status is against Isiash Simmons... as he is beginning to be touted as an off ball LB (primarily) Goodson can handle that MIKE role just fine. And yes, you will hear Simmons being talked about in similar roles as Murray the get closer we get to the draft. For the "purity" of the position, my pick is Kenneth.
Ain't that the truth?! Neither does a LT that made 10 consecutive Pro Bowls at the position in terms of expertise about job requirements.
1 amendment I'll add to your point is "if you see enough tape on a guy." I ran around here like a rooster on steroids after I watched videos of Mack Wilson's greatest moments. What I'm getting at here during this time of year is sometimes we don't dig deep enough on the even the best of prospects. I'm going to give you an example in a second on a guy I think should still be the #1 rated LT prospect (Andrew Thomas). Having said that, the latter part of the video below finds a flaw with a pass pro fundamental/hand placement the narrator thinks is from a bad teaching (also illustrated via example with the RT confirming why he thinks it's from the teaching). And who's that LG #66 modeling the FLABS (Flugel's Abs)? Thatta boy!!!
I'm not sure what the bolded means? JT is weeks late to my assessment of Wirfs and he arrived at the same conclusion I did. You're welcome to scan back on this thread and check.
And I've seen what you're referring to with Andrew Thomas (the hand placement). He's my #1 OT and what I like about his hands, while not always so much the placement, is the reach and impact on his strike. I don't think his feet are JT type elite, and I don't think they ever will be. But his feet, his hips and such will be adequate enough to fill the position nicely. It's his strike that he compensates with to slow down edge rushers. He times it well without losing his base and staying in sync. Yes, there are times he leans at it a little or doesn't land as clean as a good coach would ask, but the raw tools are there and displayed... just not on an every down basis.

The tape don't lie.
Sure doesn't... but sometimes it fibs. Any player can have a bad game due to injury or a bad matchup. That's why in the past I tried to find games early and late in a season against varying levels of opposition. Can't find enough tape to do that this year.
That said it's refreshing to post here where tape aficionados have become more widespread over the past couple years.
Visited reddit for the first time in a long time when site went down the other day. If I had a nickel for every "Wirfs Combine" type post, then I'd have a quarter... some Becton backers as well. Few of these talk "tape".
Most tape-watching posters there seem to have joined Camp Thomas. Wills has a good share of supporters as well. Jones seems to be the under-watched prospect.

In order
- this is why I find it important to start at the beginning of the season and find as many games as humanly possible.
- Reddit is the "front page" of the internet. With it comes a ton of traffic. With a ton of opinions and traffic comes a ton of bad opinions from people just looking to echo what they see on TV, or haven't versed their eyes and mind into further grasping the fine details at multiple positions.
- I still need to put more work on Jones. But Houston's offense really makes it hard to make a satisfying assessment of him from the comfort of my chair.

Yanda. But that was based on, like you said, shuffling of the OL. I've little doubt he probably could have been a RT, but the guy was so elite inside... no point in moving him unless you HAD to.

I kept reading that about him, but when I finally found tape I did not find it to be true.
Plenty of pure pass sets where 2+ seconds of protection were required and plenty of ZBS to boot.

I've only gotten through the Oklahoma game so far on him. A lot of screens, ball out passing, lateral action, etc etc. I'm sure i'll find more the deeper I dig.

A couple guys who have jumped out as value picks so far are
OT- Josh Jones- if we miss out Thomas not a bad consolation prize.
DE- Alton Robinson- not a huge fan of this DE class. There are alot of 3rd round type of guys but Robinson is my favorite.
DT- Neville Gallimore- after watching his tape I wouldn't be suprised if he goes in the first.
S- J.R. Reed- I really want Winfield but hes been discussed enough already. Reed is a late round pick that I think could compete for the FS job out of the gate.
LB- Jordyn Brooks- kind of 2 down guy on tape but he could contribute right away and is projected in the middle rounds.
RB- Cam Akers- you could argue hes the best back in the draft and most mocks I've seen have him going in the 3rd. Not a bad replacement for Hunt

Jordyn Brooks is a lot like my lb pick in the second round with my stupid mock...(extra pick with a trade down) - Logan Wilson, Wyoming. Picked Wilson more for his pass coverage was a bit better. Wilson is more overlooked. But they are very similar.

Reed has been my emergency Safety since I started working the Draft sims. Agree on the starter potential, although I've pictured him in the SS role. Tough, kid...
Never have warmed to Winfield tho... hung up on his height I think.
Took to Cal's Ashtyn Davis right away as my FS... and have since added SIU's Chin to my wish list. Chin's risen past Davis in some of the rankings I see often.

I like Winfield's processing over Davis'.... so far. Obviously being 5'9 isn't great, but Earl Thomas is 5'10.

His pops was one of my favorite Buckeyes. One of the best open field tacklers. Maybe the tackling runs in the bloodlines.

At ease. You're one of the last guys that needs to prove yourself to me. Ain't that the truth - is an expression that means we agree. Once upon a time, you and I didn't have good discussions when we disagreed. Today, that couldn't be further from the truth. For example, good stuff about where you are coming from on Murray. As for Simmons, I don't know where he will end up playing. He plays defense with his eyes and instincts to have me seeing an ideal career ahead. In just 3 years - he had 19 pass break-ups and 4 INTs. In 2019, he had 102 tackles (16 for a loss) and 8 sacks to go with what he did in pass/zone coverage. In today's game, the levers of a 6'4" OLBer with instincts, speed, and vision aren't a bad thing to offer a defense; especially one in need of 2 brand new starters at OLBer. He can get to the QB or get his hands on the ball in coverage.
And Andrew Thomas is also my #1 LT as depicted in my LT Faves thread. IMO he does everything he's been taught extremely well including his biggest flaw in pass pro that his 1st NFL OL Coach will have to de-program. Voch Lombardi isolated this on the video I showed beginning with Thomas sticking his chest out before striking with his hands. He further explained the reason he thought that was being taught is he showed the RT doing the exact same thing on another pass play. Even our prospect faves will have things to work on/correct/de-program at the next level. I'm getting closer to finalizing LT faves. My movin on ups are Wills and Jones.
