I have Gaither a fair bit lower. I agree with you he is a Will, or possibly a hybrid guy. I think he will go earlier than I have him but he is #114 on my big board. 4th rounder for me. In the Bills scheme he is the role Milano plays (or certainly played in 2018).

He's my LB7 and 87th overall. Right now I've got him going to the Broncos at pick 83.

With the 95th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders select Robert Hunt, OG, Louisiana

We felt like we needed to get younger along the interior of our offensive line. Richie Incognito is 36 years old, so we absolutely need to plan for the future. With that in mind, Hunt was a no-brainer. At 6foot5, 335 lbs, Hunt is a massive human being. He is strong and powerful and has violent hands, and absolutely demolishes the man lined up across from him at times. We also feel that he may able to play right tackle if needed. He'll compete with Incognito and Gabe Jackson to start immediately, but we feel like, at worst, he'll be a starter on by year two and a fixture on our o-line for years to come.


The Raiders came into the draft wanting to upgrade our pass defense in order to be able to contend with division rival Kansas City. We also wanted to give Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota better weaponry and protection. Despite not having a second round pick, we feel like we succeeded on both counts. We were also able to trick coach Gruden into logging into a zoom channel during the draft that no one else was on, so his desperate cries for us to draft Jalen Hurts or Jake Fromm fell on deaf ears.

The Raiders, through round 3, have added:

WR - Ceedee Lamb
CB - C.J. Henderson
S/Nickel - Terrell Burgess
LB - Troy Dye
OG - Robert Hunt
Extra 5th round pick

We feel that Lamb will be our number 1 receiver right off the bus. Our passing offense will run through him. Henderson will be our CB1 and adds athleticism and playmaking ability to our defense. Troy Dye will likely start in year one, while Burgess will see time in sub-packages and on special teams and will compete to start. Both men will help our pass defense and both offer the potential to match up against the Travis Kelces and Noah Fants of the world. Lastly, Robert Hunt also will compete to start in year one, but will, at the very least, provide excellent depth and a future at the OG position. We are also excited about adding an extra 5th round pick. Overall, we have a 4th and two 5th round picks left and will likely target a WR and a running back to pair with Josh Jacobs.


@Buffalo716 and the Kansas City Chiefs are now on the clock.

@Buffalo716 and the Chiefs are on the clock until 1:40pm.

 

I know he said he's busy, so we'll have a pick ready for the Chiefs just in case. 

[BuffaloHokie13]

At first glance of KC's needs and the available players I think it's one of:

Troy Pride Jr, CB, Notre Dame

Jordan Elliott, IDL, Missouri 

Logan Wilson, LB, Wyoming 

Darrynton Evans, RB, App State

I like all of those players for them, to an extent, but feel Darryton Evans' skill set might be a little redundant with Darwin Thompson's. They could sure use cornerback help.

I could see a tight end here too, Albert O or Harrison Bryant perhaps.

Not a fan of Kelce and Seals-Jones?

 

I've already admitted in the other thread that I'm struggling to place any TEs before rd4 ?

I like that Kelce guy, but another hyphen guy? Nah. Harrison Bryant to me just looks like the kind of guy Andy Reid finds and makes use of.

I was reading Bob McGinn’s annual “what the scouts are saying” article, which is pure gold. If you haven’t read it, seek it out.

 

When McGinn asked one high ranking personnel man about the TE class this year, his simple response was “it’s the *****” (rhymes with hits). That pretty much sums it up. ?

I love Kmet. But it's projection. I'd take him in the 2nd if he's there. I think Trautman is super interesting, and I'd take him in the 3rd. I also like Dalton Keene and Josiah Deguara later in the draft as H back/FB/TE hybrids.

Those are exactly the 2 I have going in the first 3 rounds. Best remaining players on my board to start round 4 are Hunter Bryant, Brycen Hopkins, Harrison Bryant, and Albert O in spots 1-4.

I see some guys that will contribute and have long NFL careers, but no difference makers. Along those lines, I feel Harrison Bryant can be a positive contributor for a long time. Won’t blow the roof off the joint, but he can do some good things for you.

The guy that really belongs is Kmet. He's a blue chip type player. He just came out too early, just turned 21, so he needs time. If he stayed at Notre Dame he would be a top 20 pick next year imo. 

[BuffaloHokie13]

I guess I can summarize the Bengals picks. We acquired pick 73 for Andy Dalton, giving us 4 picks in the first 3 rounds.

 

1. Joe Burrow. This was fairly obvious. He's the #2 player on my board at the #1 position in football. He's coming into a decent situation with a host of experienced veteran targets to throw to.

 

33. Austin Jackson. He's a bit of a work in progress, but he's very young (20) and has flashed tremendous upside. In the departure of Cordy Glenn, we wanted to shore up the protection for Burrow to have success. We strongly considered Tee Higgins here to learn under AJ Green, but with Green, Boyd, Ross, and Tate still around this year we were looking for a player to contribute more than just a rotational WR.

 

65. Jeremy Chinn. Provides positional flexibility at 2 positions we are looking to upgrade in Safety and coverage LB. We will see how he takes to the roles and let him find his place naturally, but we are confident that our defense is better with him on it.

 

73. Cameron Dantzler. Cam bolsters our secondary along with Chinn. He's 6'2" and has shown excellent zone coverage skills. He was less successful in press man and diverting WRs from their intended routes, but we believe that is primarily due to his slender frame. Given some time in an NFL regimen, we believe he can add functional strength and grow to be a game changer on the back end for our Defense.

 

Remaining needs: TE, IOL, LB, WR depth, DL depth.

Remaining picks: 107, 147, 180, and 215.

 

The way the draft is shaking out I'd probably be monitoring Hunter Bryant, Jordan Elloitt, Logan Wilson, and Jonah Jackson for pick 107.

@BuffaloHokie13You can go ahead and make the Chiefs pick.  I'd like to be done with the draft today.  He hasn't been on in 5 hours

[BuffaloHokie13]

With the 96th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Chiefs select Troy Pride Jr, CB, Notre Dame. 

 

The Chiefs are very thin at CB coming into the draft and are happy to find Troy available and near the top of their board here near the end of round 3.

 

@RyanC883 and the Packers are on the clock until 2:54pm

The Patriots select Matt Peart OT, UConn.

 

The Giants @Doc Brown are on the clock
