They ignore QB when everyone but Burrow has fallen to them at #5?! That seems crazy by mainstream standards. And I hate it. I don't want them to build a solid roster from top-to-bottom. I want them to swing and miss on an early QB, or at least spend years determining if a young QB is the right guy. Tua doesn't scare me in the pros. Please take Tua. I thought so at first, but maybe none of them are “their” guy and they are going the Bills route. Year one was the purge. Year two is them building their defense and core line. Year three is offense. They like what Fitz did and think they can get by this year with him. If the reports about Tua tanking his interviews are true, maybe they don’t have a first round grade on anyone else. The rest of them have potential, but also question marks. I think they would still take one of them with one of their many first few round picks, but bailing on Tua early wouldn’t completely shock me. Simmons makes a lot of sense to me in that defense. 1 1

It has been discussed and the results show that I have ruined the draft for everyone. You included. For that, I truly apologize. I hope that this doesn’t cause any long term damage to anyone here. Tua doesn’t scare me either. That’s why I didn’t select him. My selection should make a lot of sense to you Edited April 9, 2020 by NewEra 1

I think passing on Tua is a bit bonkers. But made less bonkers by the fact he passed for Jordan Love as opposed to Herbert. I don't like either as first rounders but Love at least has something. Herbert? Meh.

It’d be interesting to see. This draft is a pretty honest crack at what may happen. Sure, I can check some other boards too if anyone has recs. DJ's is only top 50, so max of 1 left from his. McShay is top 99, so likely only a handful there. Miller's is top 150, so I can definitely pull 10. I could check draft network or something too. Edited April 9, 2020 by BuffaloHokie13 1

GunnerBill Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I will give you the top 10 left per my board too. I think I have 136 players grades so should be possible. 1
H2o Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) With the 92nd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft the Baltimore Ravens select Jordyn Brooks, LB, Texas Tech. Our defense was exposed against Tennessee in the playoffs and earlier in the year against the 49ers. We aren't very good at stopping the run. Brooks, with his athletic ability, will go a long way to helping correct that problem. He was a highly productive LB at the college level who is physical, has that mentality on defense that you love to see out of your ILB prospects, plays sideline to sideline, and offers some pass rush juice from the inside as well. The things we see, which we feel can be coached, is his ability to cover where he wasn't asked to do much of that in college and sometimes he is more reactive than instinctive. Both will improve with coaching and repetition at the next level in our defensive scheme. @Philo and the Titans are on the clock. Edited April 9, 2020 by H2o
machine gun kelly Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I didn’t want to start another thread, but the Syracuse paper posted in an article this morning the latest draft trade chart. I’m sure most of you saw it on the main page. Crazy thing is if we traded our 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6h, and 7th, nothing next year and no current players, we still wouldn’t have enough per their point system which is probably based on Jimmy Johnson’s famous chart to get back into the back part of the 1st. I l8e our players now, and don’t want to creep into next years trade bank again for a player this year. So maybe we give later picks to get a little higher in the 4th or 5th, but I don’t see much else. Anyway, thoughts from my draft guru friends. Always open to you’re ideas if you can make the logical data driven argument, not a wish list. We all can dream, but then there is the real world.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Yeah. I was also trying to figure out a way to post each team's picks, but it'd be too long I think. Are you able to filter as a viewer in the sheet? Or do you need edit permissions?
Philo Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 With the 93rd pick in the 2020 NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans select Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Michigan. We thought long and hard about selecting DL to help offset the loss of J. Casey, however we did not see the value here. Fortunately, we were surprised to see a talented WR such as DPJ still on the board. AJ Brown had a great rookie season, but Corey Davis has been largely disappointing and the depth in the room is not great outside of a solid slot in Adam Humphries. DPJ can come in day one as a reliable return man and will have every opportunity to become a valuable contributor with the starting offense. We anticipate DPJ will be the piece to balance out the offense ahead of another hopeful playoff bound season. @Doc Brown and the Green Bay Packers are on the clock. 1

Doc Brown Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Sorry for the delay as I lost track of time. With the 94th pick in the draft the Packers select Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina I gave Rodgers/Fromm their stud tackle and the next coming of Jerry Rice. @Golden Goat is on the clock. 1

Stand pat in the 2nd and 3rd. Then package our 4th, 5th, 6th, 6th, and 7th to move back into the 3rd. Get 3 quality picks who actually have a chance to make the team and maybe even contribute right away.

I wouldnt be upset if that's how the draft actually played out.
