2020 NFL Draft Discussion

[blueman]

Hayward and Okudah outside, Harris in the slot. Done.

[otto_telfser]

am I the only one confused by this post?
i THINK i get the spirit of your post
and maybe it's just semantics, but there are absolutely more talented players currently playing in college than some/many pro NFLers.
now being proven is different, you have a point there.

and Okuda can absolutely prove to be a better corner than Heyward in his rookie year. unlikely but very possible.

Maybe it's our definition of talent.
To me, it only exists when proven.
We can't tell how Okudah will do in the NFL, Hayward and Harris have proven it there.
That's my only reason to say I think he won't be better than our 3rd cb.

If he comes in and become an all pro by year two, then I'll concede it

[otto_telfser]

Not to say that I wouldn't like the pick if the chargers chose him.
i just think need-wise there are better picks at QB, OT and LB

[like54ninjas]

The last first round CB we took shut down half the field for us (when healthy lol), I believe Okudah will be even better in the pros (and hopefully healthier).

Yep, those glorious three months.

[blueman]

Yep, those glorious three months.

Three? Surely you jest!

Anyone else think Deandre Swift will be there round 2 for us in this deep RB class?
Hate to burn a premium pick on a RB, especially since Lynn should be able to continue to develop Ekelers every other year, but I think I’d pull the trigger quickly with DAS

[dmac_bolt]

I’ll play - I take my franchise QB is he is there at 6 without trade-up, and I’d take Chase before Isaiah every day of the year. Can’t decide between Wills and Becton, I’ll have to tell my nephew to go watch more tape!

1) Burrow
2) Tua
3) Herbert
4) Young
5) Simmons
6) Wills ... Becton ...arrgggh, can’t decide ..

He will. Why waste that pick?

What production difference are you getting?
Lets take a comparison of 2 SEC RBs. Swift

First 5 all senior bowl guys but yes guys I think fit our mold of prospects.
TT/Organization have drafted prospects that have certain commonalities......
Mostly seniors, all have production history or long term starters, senior bowl prospects, team captains, multi-positional, trait model fits PONs, and no off field issues.

I’m not sure, I’ve never considered an RB with a pick before round 3
with Swift, I see a threat with every touch type of back
Im thinking of how much help that would be for a rookie qb
I love a lot of backs in almost evry round, but DAS looks very safe to me

i guess I don’t see the production difference you’re going to get.
if you look at touches the previous two seasons Swift & Vaughn have virtually the same stats but who is the better weapon? My money is on the dude that had some production with massively less talent around him and I can pick him 100 prospects later. No brainer.
