Yes, I agree. In the past 3 drafts they seemed to be looking for all-pro type core players. This year it was drafting for need to augment the players already in place.

Because none of our RB had the speed to get around the corner, so the jet sweep was a way to make attacking the outside part of our game.

take a look at his highlights he throws far downfield

Gee, you should figure this out. Think about baseball. Any pitcher can rear back and throw 15 mph above his usual fastball speed. Nobody knows where the ball is going to go. Throwing just for the radar gun is different than getting the ball to the reciever or dropping it over the LB and into the basket of the WR. You can NO throw that at 100 miles an hour. If you look at the videos of this guy, he completes a lot of long passes.

https://walterfootball.com/draft2020QB.php To me he looks like a solid backup after a year or so.

It seems like 4.55 is an typical 40 yard time for a big guy. Here are a list of leading WR and the guys more than 210 pounds are highlighted in red. CeeDee Lamb*, WR, Oklahoma Height: 6-2.

Walter football has him as the 12th WR. Gabriel Davis*, WR, Central Florida Height: 6-2. Weight: 216. Arm: 32.25. Hand: 9.25. 40 Time: 4.54. Projected Round (2020): 2-4. 4/21/20: Davis is a prospect who generated some buzz in the scouting community and impressed for Central Florida. He has a good build and mismatch size. In 2019, Davis totaled 72 receptions for 1,241 yards with 12 touchdowns. He also produced well as a sophomore (53-815-7). Davis displayed big ability in 2019, putting his draft stock on the map. He helped himself with a solid combine performance They have Hamler as #10, Shenault as #11 and Pittman as #13 https://walterfootball.com/draft2020WR.php Edited 20 minutes ago by maryland-bills-fan

It is that simple.

With Edward-Helaire and Swift.... are we seeing a new wave of hybrid RB/WR? That is what I really wanted us to get in the draft. Let's hope Moss is a good receiver so we can expand the playbook.

Use one of the low picks for a punter and the rest to move up in the 4th round and from the 4th to the 5th.

Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB Amik Roberston CB (nickle) A small school WR who runs a 4.3

I have been beating the drum about trying to get one of the top 5 running backs. Especially, getting one that is also a natural receiver like Swift and Edward-Helaine. (who went 35 and 32). But I think, they got Epenesa about 30 picks below were he should have/might have been drafted. Too much of a super value to get a good 1st round guy 2/3 down the second round. Thank the Lord, that my #6 RB was available at #86. If offered the choice of {Dobbins and a #10 DE} or _{Epensea and the 6th RB,} I would take what we did.

I agree completely. We have all these posters saying "BPA" and then they immediately start talking about their favorate positions. "We don't draft for need!! We should take the BPA. Here are the best DE and WR that we should draft!!!" How can they slide from one extreme viewpoint to the complete opposite viewpoint in the same breath and not sense how crazy they are talking? Look at ANY mock draft or post draft analysis and see how they suggest/explain how "this was a good pick because they lost MR.XYZ and needed a player at position ABC". Geesh ! Before I retired, I always got into trouble for asking questions when similar split-brain positions were advanced.

Several differences will be there. with two fast WR, we can stretch the field and make DB's defend deeper. That will open up more room, less coverage and yardage for the slot and tight end. With a bigger running back we have less need of gimmick plays and QB runs in short yardage or goal line situations. Allen will live longer. Moss is supposed to be a decent receiver. I hope we will see more pass plays to the running back. Singletary was about #44 in pass receiving and I refuse to believe that this low amount was just due to stupidity of the coaching staff. http://postemaperformance.com/running-back-routes-and-passing-plays/ shows the basics of how a RB can be involved in the passing game. Things that we used last year The screen pass is good when the DE's pin their ears back and rush, thereby leaving gaps in the defense. With Allen being mobile and scambling, they play a lot of stay-at-home containment and this makes screens ineffective. The "flat" and "delay" (fake handoff or block and run to the outside for a pass at the line of scrimmage) was used a lot with Singletary. the shovel pass is not that important in my opinion the wing pass- run off tackle and then run a bannana shaped curved run downfield, was used a bit. Things that we didn't use much or effectively last year the "wheel" route that starts out as a flat/delay but then changes to a "go " route downfield. You need a RB with some wheels to outrun the linebackers and some hands to track and catch the ball before the safties recover. We didn't do this very much last year, so the defenses were not stretched to defend it and defended other things better. The "slot" positioning of the RB. Start the huddle and play with the RB in the backfield and then have him change to the slot position before the snap. You could wind up with a WR and a slot receiver on each end of the LOS. You could wind up with a slow linebacker against a faster RB. If they were dropping the DE to cover the short zone, he might be against a DE !... You want to have the RB-slot hybrid guy run the full WR passing tree. The RB and QB can use a hot read to change to a short hitch or curl pattern to defeat an all out pass rush. We did not do this last year and I hope that Moss can help out here. Using the RB as a "surprise" split out wide receiver. This is why I really wanted Swift or Edwards-Helaire in the 2020 draft and I wonder if the hybrid RB/WR is a coming thing in the NFL. I hope we can expand the play book with the addition of Diggs and Moss.

I wonder if we could flip a 4th and 5th into picks for next year. Using a chart without comp picks in it: 4-22 #118th pick ====>>3rd round pick 32 5-22 #150 pick =======4th round pick 20 BOTH picks =======>3rd round 18th pick. These might be useful to move up next year.

He should have been somewhere around 24 in the first round. Too good to pass up. He had a slow 40 yard dash speed. I'm emailing McDermott not to line him up as a wide out too often and he should be fine.

Yes, that would have been nice. Epensea was considered at top 3 defensive end in January and somehow was still around at our 54. I wonder if the reason was just the pundits chasing each other's stories and convincing each other, without any new information really being there. I'm happy that G-d and luck got us Moss, who I considered the 6th RB and impossible to think that he would be there at 86. We got lucky on both those picks. We may get to see Dobbins when we play the Ravens in the playoffs and then see Edward-Helaire when we play the Chiefs for the AFL title.

We need somebody to run the ball when Singletary is on the bench. Maybe there is a reason why Moss hasn't been drafted.

His knees are about as weak as anybody's when hit from the side.

How long can Allen keep running the ball and getting half the rushing yardage of the #1 running back?

But what if it is 50%?

There is a difference between 'value" and "quality"

Look at the rushing.

Opps my bad. The extra 10 comp picks are AFTER the 3rd and 4th rounds.

I though Akers would be a stretch but he was gone even before 54. We have 42 picks between our 54 and our next pick. Moss and Dillion will probably b gone. I hope they have a secret love from some small conference school in mind.
