2020 NFL Off-Season Thread

Matt Peart is.....I dunno.  As a Connecticut guy it's always nice to see someone from UConn be draft worthy.  But barring injuries to Solder or Thomas he's probably a swing tackle at best, maybe even 4th string.  Not sure I'd use a third rounder on that.

That said, some boards have him as the 10th ranked tackle in the class, thinking the tools are there but he lacks experience.  And they'll need another tackle next year when Solder is gone.  Suppose he'll be a Marc Colombo project.

The Los Angeles Rams select Terrell Burgess, S.

 

The New Orleans Saints select Adam Trautman, TE.

 

The Baltimore Ravens select Tyre Phillips, OT.

 

Day 2 is done!

Some teams viewed him as a guard so I wouldn't be surprised if he kicks inside.

The Bears drafted Cole Kmet last night keeping my dream of them starting an all-TE offensive team this year.

Who is Dalton Keene and why did he get drafted before Trautman?

I may be wrong but I think there are some questions about Trautman as a blocker.

Happy the Lions picks so far. Hopefully we can continue that today.

Day 3; Round 4. Cincinnati are back on the clock.

I am very pleasantly surprised. It's definitely not the route I wanted to take, but i can understand why to some degree. The defense needed help everywhere, you just hope Okudah was the right pick and not Simmons, Brown, or even Tua. 

Good with the RB, kind of didn't like it at first but it makes sense. Kerryon Johnson probably will always be injury prone and Bo Scarborough was a nice surprise but you need more. When I really thought about it, we were really weak at running back. I love the skillset, but the fumbling obviously is a concern (huge for me...).

Okwara, sounds good to me. May have gotten a good value here, @Mr. Meacon Moneybags Fair to say he probably goes higher if not for the broken leg? Also cool to see him play alongside his brother, so even if we suck again that'll be fun. 

And then I can see why people would be pissed that we moved up for the guard but he sounds like he can play,  and we didn't give up too much really. I bet he's a reliable plug and play starter.

Great trade for the Niners.  The rich get richer.

[Pooker]

I love it. Go all in this year and next. I have complete faith in John Lynch and this team, which is not something I thought I would be able to say again a few years ago.

Lions just traded,  just called that with my dad and brother.

Nice.

We've traded our next pick, which was going to be after NYG's, with Miami:

Where are the smart college announcers?  

[gunnar hendershow]

Niners making the trade for Williams is great for them. It explains that trade down with TB a little more, surely negotiations were already in place by then.

The second piece of the puzzle is that as expected Joe Staley is now retiring.

Back to back guards, ok.

I mean....our guards are kind of not good so it makes sense to get younger there.

[Lineker]

The Indianapolis Colts just selected Jacob Eason, QB. You have to wonder whether the Pats could try and trade for Jacoby Brissett now?

...and the Jets take QB James Morgan out of FIU - a name that had been linked with New England.
