2020 Draft Prospect Discussion

[wu-dai clan]

He has the Chargers at #10 taking the Oregon QB.

and, this will make wu-dai puke, the patriots taking Wirfs at #30

Bless his heart.
McShay makes me want to vomit convulsively.

There is also talk that Andrew Thomas is unrefined.

Jedrick Wills is rising too late.

I'll let you take the heat for not going Oline @ ~ #9.

:runaway:

D. Brown, A. Thomas, Isaiah Simmons are my cluster currently.

I do not see any real talent, fundamentals, technique , or production difference with Wirfs, Niang, Durant.

RT Tristan Wirfs * run blocker, meanasty, good get off, feet without the quickness, trouble w/outside speed, upside w/skill set to become solid in pass pro, physical/strong, hoss/mauler, doesn’t lose outside edge often, gets help from TE @times, athletic freak, wrestler, explosive, may return to school, engulfs defenders, bulldozer, has some Cody Ford to his game, top ten talent, stout, Tyron Smith mention/compare

LT Lucas Niang * projection/developmental prospect, some funk to his technique, needs technical development/refinement, too upright, poor footwork, leads to off balance (pass) sets, NFL starter, scrapper that can anchor, more effort than natural power, third round

RT Yasir Durant * susceptible to inside counters, short yardage mauler, upside

have stopped taking notes, albeit am impressed that you are sticking w/your guys Ninja.... am also willing to give you the benefit of the doubt w/your Hurts day 3 prognostication (keep 'em coming

and not wishing to trade up for an OT, altho can appreciate the sentiment.

Whoever you quoted about Niang sees things I do not. He has given up under 45 total pressures and 1 sack in his 4 year playing (3 starting) college career. Sack coming in year uno. Handled both Chase Young and Nick Bosa for a total of 1 pressure and 0 sacks in 2018. Niang did have a hip surgery this season so injury must be taken into account.

Yasir does have issues with quick inside moves and inside spin counter to a initial burst upfield rush. His inside hand placement/position and right foot down step need to be developed. Which returning SEC OT had the fewest pressures in 2018? Not A. Thomas (11) but Yasir Durant (8).

All 3 have solid anchors, good to great run blockers, possess length/ girth/ power. Yasir is the only 1 of the 3 that has experience @LOT (3 years).

I don’t want Rivers teaching anybody to change plays the way he does or even what he sees because it has become pretty clear that he doesn’t understand what he sees anymore.

My thoughts exactly! What is he going to teach how to change from a run blitz to a pass? Green 80 Green 80 set hut....Rivers strikes me as someone who doesnt share information anyway when it comes to mentoring but I could be wrong.

I would trust you have seen more of Wirfs and the others than I...but if what you say is true, no reason to pick a tackle till the second, Cuz Thomas will be gone...and there isn't enough difference in the next tier to justify a reach....one of those guys will be there in the second.

[blueman]

Hurts will still be there on day 3

Wow, so no improvement over Stick then, we shouldn’t bother.

[Topcat]

CBS Sports recent mock has us taking Simmons at #9, with an early run on O-Line. So, CBS agrees with Wood's belief that the top 3 OT's will be gone by the time we pick:

Makes sense those OL going off the board so early.

Makes sense those OL going off the board so early.

Yep...hope it's not a repeat of the 2013 draft, when the top 3 OT's went early, then TT reached for Fluker at #11...meanwhile, Star and Sheldon Richardson were right there...if the top OT's are gone, draft IDL or possibly that Simmons pick to bolster our LB corps and tackling...then trade back into late round 1 for someone like Leatherneck...though I might consider Biadez at #9...

Lol, I'd say your dead wrong and have no clue what a QB does at the line.

[Boltnut]

Wasn’t he signed for $9m? And isn’t it injury protected?
