Ranking the 10 top potential STEALS in the 2020 draft
-
Started thinking about my own list rather than Bleachers. In no particular order...
- Jalen Hurts - QB, OU... the more I look, the more I see Dak 2.0...
- Anthony McFarland - RB, Maryland... fast and quick.. good receiver...
- Devin Duvernay - WR, Texas... almost uncoverably quick... extremely productive.
- Shane Lemieux - IOL, Oregon... made for our ZBS.
- Matt Peart - OT, UConn... I believe I may have mentioned him before.
- Khalil Davis - IDL, Nebraska... quick disruptor...
- Jabari Zuniga - Edge, Florida... strong for his size, if can improve his "get-off", he's going to be really good.
- Troy Dye - OLB, Oregon... has the speed, needs to get a little stronger.
- Malik Harrison - LB, tOSU... I keep seeing him as a Mike... and a good one with thump and surprising coverage skill.
- JR Reed - FS, UGA... good size... decent speed... needs work on tackling, but otherwise the skill set is pretty well complete.

I owe you an apology. I just finished up his game vs Texas Tech and UCLA.
Real NFL potential there. He looked so much better in the pocket at OU compared to Bama. Poise, saw actual progressions being made, checks at the line, dummy counts etc etc.
edit: At times, a taller Russel Wilson IMHO.

My wife loves those caramel M&Ms. I'm allotted 1/4 cup per day from her supergigantic bag of 'em.

It was the improvement that brought on the Dak comparison as much or more than his play style. I saw Dak improve year to year thru 3 years at Miss St. And while seeing Hurts' progress did suffer from Tua-interrupta, it still reminded me of Dak's...
Wilson on the other hand... only saw the one year of him at Wisconsin where he shown... as opposed to NC St. where he was mediocre at best. Of course doing their best work after a school change is something Jalen and Russell have in common.

I keep a big bag frozen and they're my cheat snack on Sunday's. Admittedly I've gone a good job eating less and less of them in one sitting. To the point I can have 9 or 10 and be content with that. So that family sized bag lasts me quite a while. That having been said, if anybody breaks in and steals them... I'll hunt them down like the dog they are.
Peanut butter is a distant 2nd.

Hurts still needs work finding his outlet receiver, taking the easy check down and keeping his eyes up when he pulls the ball down to climb the pocket. There were a couple times vs UCLA alone where I"m convinced he actually saw the receiver open up in front of him as he pulled the ball down, but trusted his legs more. Beyond that? I saw better intermediate touch on the ball, then some time and placement on downfield passes I hadn't seen during his time at Alabama. Plus his improved calm demeanor in the pocket really stood out. To the point where, had he stayed at Alabama, might be in the same position Tua ended up in draft wise.
There is a skill set there that has developed and can continue to develop if he puts in the mental work. Dak is a pretty good benchmark to hold him to. Good news for his career and development, he's going to a team with a decent Oline, a few new toys and a starter in front of him that will give him time to further improve fundamentals and master his eye movement without being thrown to the wolves.
....barring injury to Wentz, of course.

Wentz injured? Pffft... never'll happen...
I really thought Dallas was gonna nab Jalen...
Frozen caramel M&Ms.... based on my love of frozen Milky Ways, it does sound good.

They are delicious. But if you're trying to get fancy, my ex introduced me to frozen nutty butty bars once upon a time. Dear. Christ. Good thing my metabolism is freakish otherwise I would have put 20lbs on just looking at a box of them.

Any chocolate I eat MUST be refrigerated or frozen.Peanut m&ms are a favorite, but I have to refrain from peanuts, so it's on to plain m&ms, KitKats,3 Musketeers, Reese Cups, Milky Way Midnights, York P'mint patties, & others. BTW, even though not chocolate, Zagnuts are GREAT refrigerated (& as fragile as Wentz)!
