[Pre-Draft Thread] NFL Draft 2020 - NE Edition

[Uptown]

I’d love for NE to grab Auburn DT Derrick Brown, but there is virtually no shot of that happening.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Which NE quarterback is throwing to Hamler in 2020 though?

 

[PapaTrips]

I would love Hamler for the Pats in the slot. I saw that his speed and agility kept him from absorbing big hits. Also Jefferson (6'3 195) from LSU. His strengths are running option routes. He has good speed and runs the entire route tree but he exels at option routes...

the one thing that pops on tape when watching this kid is the drops.

he drops a lot of balls.

Jefferson could really be a nice big slot-type player. Really good at creating space from reading coverage. Him and Burrow were magic at times. Burrow leading and JJ was usually on point adjusting if he had to, sometimes mid-air but his hands were very instinctive as well. Very good awareness, hand/eye coordination.
He has to clean up a few things but hes a nice prospect for sure.

Combine is huge for him. For everybody but him, Higgins, Shenault, Clayoool & a few others could make a lot of money with above average testing.

Hamler is a nice player. On the small side but VERY fast. John Brown 2.0? Not sure he could take a beating like Jules if made to go over the middle.
I also like the Ohio St. K.J. Hill.
If both K.J.'s are gone by the 3rd round the Pats could target SMU's James Proche (Porche'!). He caught a 110 balls this year. He'll catch anything. Looked good at Senior Bowl with herky-jerky moves to get open. Runs in the 4.5's. We'll see at the combine.

I like Proche a lot and will be rooting for him. He rewrote the books at SMU. I have him in the 3rd as well on my Pats Big board.

The thing I like about Hamler is, besides his obvious talents, he bounces off a lot of tackles.

 

[scott99]

Prefer Trautman. Bryant is too small.

 

[Uptown]

Count me in! Kmet & Trautman.

 

[Love The Drake]

Count me in!

I’m warming up to Trautman at or Kmet

 

[Snooky97]

Bryant is AH without the issues...

 

[PatsFan2]

Agreed.

But the Patriots will Draft a Harry clone instead it makes sense.

 

[Sciz]

Oh right, this is the time of year when draft prospects tell us who the new position coaches will be.

 

[Triumph]

Pats 1st round pick should a WR who can step in and play a meaningful role game 1.

I wish I watched more NCAA. I don't really know any of these guys

I'm a big fan. With some NFL experience he could be a real player. Played Basketball & QB in HS. Bball background stands out the way he positions himself, uses leverage, high points, stacks on verticals. Also very comfortable on those sneak/sit routes that kill zone defense.

Blocking is all about size, effort and technique. He has the first two 100%. Knows what he wants to do but can't do it quick enough or hold his inside hand position.

I threw out the idea of him or Degaura as FB options at times.

I like Trautman's potential

There's 2 ways of doing it. 1) Watch the whole season of college ball (time consuming), 2) Watch just the bowl games around Christmas until the championship game, and then the all star games (East West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl). That's pretty much what I do, less time consuming. I do catch some games during the year as well, since I love college ball, but I'm usually busy Saturdays.
