2020 Draft Prospect Discussion

[like54ninjas]

I've been mock drafting Syracuse edge rusher Alton Robinson in the 4th round, but after his Senior Bowl performance I can see his stock going up. He's raw, but could develop into Melvin Ingram's eventual successor.



The biggest riser that I've noticed is Baylor WR Denzel Mims. I first had him going in the 5th, now seeing him picked up as early as the end of the 2nd. I like him at pick 71, because he's likely gone by pick 102.

[/URL][/URL]I thought Memphis RB Antonio Gibson could be a value pick in rounds 6 or 7, but his stock seems to be going up too.

3 exciting prospects!
Think Mims is a beast. Strongest hands in the WR class and will run in the 4.4s.
AG14 is a powerhouse with sneaky feet. Love his size 6’ 223#. I need to watch more tape to double check his vision, contact balance, and ball security.
Robinson has a good initial get off and some hand skills. More tape needed to check flexibility/bend, S2P conversion, and a disengagement skills because he lacks quality length.

Zack Baun looks like he can eventually take over Ingrams role
I like his burst
it’s too important to rely on Nwosu without a contingency plan, and I don’t want to be forced to pay Ingram again.

I like him as well. Good little route runner. Great comp to what we have. The WR class is 20 deep at least.

Different ways to go.

Jeudy, Lamb must be considered because they are so damn good.

On the other hand, we can find an UDFA
good enough to make the team, blindfolded.

Everyone in between looks excellent.

It sure as hell is a PON.

And BTW hindsight geniuses,
Tyrell has plantar fasciitis.

If WR at 6, it's definitely Jeudy. Does everything well, plays like a seasoned vet, physical talent and professional skills...and one of the safest picks in the draft IMO...but it is like you also said...very nice prospects later in the draft. You will not find a comp to D. Brown, I. Simmons, J. Okuda...or maybe a QB of the future...in those middle rounds. You won't find a Jeudy either, of course...but adding a nice piece to compliment KA and MDub would be a solid course.

By the way...couldn't find it, but thought I saw some effusive praise from you on Kinlaw? Agreed...I won't put him on my top 6 board...still like Brown's anchor a bit more if we pick a DT there....but if we picked Kinlaw? No problem with that at all...I would bring in another FA or pick...or tell Jones to eat his pasta...to have a second 1tech. I would move Kinlaw back and forth between the 1 tech and 3 tech, while the others (Tillery, Cortez, Jones, etc.) rotate in where he isn't....depending on situation.

Well, I guess the shoe's on the other foot now...

After struggling through a season where the QB’s mental makeup is an issue, really don’t want to take a guy who doesn’t have his shit locked down. Herbert is a big risk mentally IMHO.

We’re not taking a WR at 6 after just taking a WR at 7 a couple of years ago

Ryan Leaf’s mentality was overlooked by the Chargers. Don’t repeat that mistake

Ryan Leaf had undiagnosed Bipolar disorder.

Had he had treatment for it and was under medication, he could have had a very productive career.

It is quite common these days for people with Bipolar disorder to have very productive lives, of course assuming they get treatment.
