2020 Draft: Day 2 Thread

[Boltjolt]

I'm not at all a fan of either pick, and now we won't really be able to fix our positions of need. On day 3 we might get a RB and a WR3, but we are not getting a LT or CB good enough to push Pipkins/Tevi or Davis out of starting spots.

Davis isnt going to start.

@CourtneyCRonin -- via Twitter - basically in her thread:

Vikings and Washington discussing Trent Williams deal. Vikings have a lot of draft picks (they made the Diggs trade and yesterday again with SF) so they have plenty of picks. Cronin suggested sending out Reiff to Washington with picks (Reiff makes 11m so thats a dollar for dollar match). But she also speculates Williams will want a new deal.


Vikings do have the draft picks to make it happen. I am good with Peters as an option too. If not, hello Michael Schofield, another veteran for cheap or a draft pick. Need more competition on the OL thats for sure.

Who starts at the two outside CB spots then?

Rally time...let me show you guys some silver lining I found in this rain cloud...

You know what I think is kinda funny? Watch the Burrows' and the Tagovailoas' reactions....neither family looks exactly thrilled! Burrow family might have known for weeks, and were kinda all cheered out, but....Tua's gang looked like the Jones clan did after we picked Bosa!! Wouldn't shock me a bit if they hoped they were gonna get picked up by the Bolts.

my same observation

Hayward at one and Harris and King will rotate that other spot. Davis is now depth. He and Facyson are reasons why we didnt play much man last season.

Haven't comments from Lynn been that Harris is the slot and King takes the AP role? I don't think either goes outside often.

LOL, you think Schofield will be a LT? Hell No! Lamp has a better chance to be a LT backup than Schofield.

If Pipkens is our starting LT TT fucked up.

Not that i know of. Harris played outside at Denver, has said he can play outside here but likes to play slot more. I assume he and King will rotate that spot. If we hold on to Perryman, hec Murray can play APs role. He ran a 4.52 and is faster than Phillips...not to mention Tranquill can as well.

There are options but i dont think a 4th round on down CB is going to start for us.

Just my opinion.

Here’s another observation
did Tom Telesco look happy during his post draft interview?
id say no, he looked and sounded frustrated
compared to the last few years.
I think he got taken in by the Dolphins and was really thinking Tua would be there at 6.
I think he felt desperate to come away with a defensive stud and had to overpay in for Murray in a draft where he knew he could have landed a starting WR and RB in rounds 2 and 3.
end of the day, I’ve liked Herbert but hasn’t shown to play the position as well or as consistent as Burrow or Tua.
I did however have him ranked higher as a prospect because of the upside and limiting circumstances at Oregon, because those are factors worth considering.
as far as Murray, cant complain about a first round prospect at a PON. Like Snoop says, “it doesn’t matter what you spend on it as long as you get what you pay for”

Harris played outside this past year, and had his worst year in a while because of it. He's better in the slot and Lynn has said that's his role. I love Des, but I don't know if he has the speed to play outside in man.

Murray does not have the coverage ability to play the AP role.

Sorry the name eludes me at the moment, but what happen to Cantrell as wr? There's the name.

Dylan Cantrell was an exclusive-rights free agent that the Chargers didn't offer a contract to. So he's presumably gone.
