2020 Draft: Day 1 Thread

[UtahBolt]

Espn is replaying an old draft. This is sad when thats the best programming they can come up with.

BTW, we just drafted Merriman.

Just read this morning that he may be implicated in a 2017 date rape drug overdose. Look it up...

[Lone Bolt]

Happy/Merry Draft Day!
the future is now
extra special for me because it's my first here on the TPB
I think I speak for us ex-CMBers in saying THANK YOU to Fleet and the veterans from this board
you all have made me feel at home here and considering this is the only kind of social media I engage in
it means a lot to me.

Draft Plan:
you won't see me posting much during the draft because Draft Day is also
a special tradition I share with my wifey and 3 lovely girls (one is a little mean but we're workin on that)
i'll be wearing my Navy Blue L#@% 16 jersey for "ironic good luck/mojo" (again, it's tradition)
pizza for the girls, fish tacos for daddy
black & Tans (I generally don't drink so there's no limit tonight... I might go WAY over my limit and have 5! OMG!)
we will be supplying our own "Boos" for Goodell since there won't be a live crowd

calling my shot:
"Maybe you don't know what i'm talking about now Stallion, but you will when it's over, you will when it's OVER!"
-- Apollo Creed
Cincy- Burrow, Wash-Young, Det-Simmons, NYG-Wills, Miami-Herbert, LAC-Tua
remember, I want FULL credit for figuring out that Miami would take Herbert months ago when
it was a forgone conclusion that Miami would take Tua.
I don't buy the smoke screen about Tua dropping, if that happens, then i'll trust Telesco's judgement
but imo, Tua will be sitting there at 6 and we will boldly call his number and he'll be the first ever superbowl winning Charger QB

if no Tua, I want Simmons, Brown, Wills, Kinlaw or Becton in that order. anyone else would be a bit disappointing without a trade-down.
however, no amount of pre-determined disappointment will stop me from absolutely celebrating whoever the pick(s) is/are.

I say pick(s) because if no QB at 6, I am officially on board with trading back into the first for LOVE, not any of the other QBs
because kid had more upside than any of them imo, including Hurts.

my final mock (what I would do)
006. Tua Tagovailoa, QB Alabama
037. Laviska Shenault Jr., WR Colorado
071. Llyod Cushenberry III, OC LSU
112. Zach Moss, RB Utah
151. Lamar Jackson, CB Nebraska
186. Johnathan Garvin, EDGE Miami
220. Lynn Bowden, WR Kentucky

See ya'll later, be safe, stay blue, powder blue!

LOL....how could we forget? You'll get it....

My worst nightmare: TT trades up to take Tua, Tua spends most of the next 3 years on Injured Reserve before he is released.

Me ready.

Come to Papa.

Careful you don't get the covid from that corona....

Draft day disaster for me is 7 OTs go in first and we don’t get one. Pipkins better be eating his Wheaties.

Wow, that WOULD be a total bummer...missing out on the Big Four, then the next level dudes like Jackson, Jones, Cleveland and Niang...

...ouch...and not only that, but he throws away a 2nd rounder to move up, and we miss out on a decent OT...double ouch...TT, DO NOT DISAPPOINT US!

Not to worry, Lone...if the Fins take Herbert, I hereby nominate you for ASSISTANT Draft Emperor...

[Charge!]

Who is saying that? Love would be a terrible pick if they trade up and lose picks for him.....in the first round at that. Id rather have Hurts than Love even in the first round. Id rather have Fromm and Eason too in the second or third.

Experts and everyone who actually watches them in real games and understands QB play...... Media keep pairing Tua and Hebert like they are the same or close but they are clearly not..... Hebert has zero touch..... he throws lasers that have to be shown to guys after they get open..... he is a thrower not a passer......no anticipation ..... huge difference..... NFL zone defenses will pick him off like crazy or face him to run instead of throw because guys won't be that wide open.......

Fromm will be a career backup in NFL......

Hurts is a runner not a passer......

Eason completely sucks.....

Hebert and Love should not be first round picks but they both will be.....

There are only 2 elite passers in this draft and those are Burrow and Tua.....

Most people only watch highlight films, which make it look like this draft has 5 future HOF QB's....... we all know that is not true......



Much better than highlight films:


QB’s who have “it” mentally which makes them elite and why they will be great NFL QB’s:


TUA:

Burrow:

QB’s who are missing “it” mentally which means they are not elite and won’t be great NFL QB’s:

Love:

This draftnik thinks the Cheatriots move up to take Love:

Who do you take in this scenario teams trading up for QB and 3 gone in 1st 5 picks.

1.Burrow
2.Young
3.Tua
4.Simmons
5.Herbert
6.???

Looks positively magical! Two top 5 locks still on the board.
Choose from: Okudah, Brown, fav OT.
Tough decision! I'll take Brown.

I hope not. I quit eating Wheaties when I saw what they did to Bruce Jenner

Even though Brown would be a very good pick, I just don't think we can afford to mess around any more at OT...at #6, pick one of the Big Four, because, as another poster pointed out, if we wait until #37, some of those second tier OT's may be gone also (Cleveland, Jackson, Jones, Niang).
