2020 NEP Draft Big Board/Draft

[captain stone]

Don't be surprised if we hear his name. Had him on the PTP list for a while now. Co-captain. All scholar team. Big time team leader. Fav in the locker room.

Probably a 6th/7th-rounder in our defense...

Have you given any thought to the POSSIBLE ramifications of the COVID pandemic and the effect it may have on the 2020 draft/season? If ,in a worst case scenario, the season is cancelled do you think Goodell still goes ahead with a draft right now? I've been scouring links to NFL-offices on Park Avenue and quite frankly am not finding anything that even remotely resembles a coherent plan, either immediate or strategic.
Secondly,what happens if the 2020 college season is cancelled? What kind of dire consequence would THAT hold for the 2021 draft? Here is what Goodell has to say as of today, as rep[orted by Peter King


According to Peter King of Pro Football Talk, Goodell might be conducting the 2020 NFL Draft — which has been moved from an in-person draft in Las Vegas, to a remote draft — from the friendly confines of his Bronxville home with a remotely controlled camera.

“The other day, I was told that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could kick off the 2020 NFL Draft in 24 days from a remote-controlled camera in his home in Bronxville, N.Y., a village 15 miles north of NFL headquarters in Manhattan,” King wrote. “But, a source with knowledge of draft-logistics discussions told me, that would be a ‘worst-case scenario.’”

While one unnamed sourced described it as worst-case scenario, King and NFL Network’s Rich Eisen disputed that, saying that if Goodell were to do the draft from his home, it would continue to emphasize the importance of social distancing during the spread of coronavirus.

“Sounds like a ‘best-case scenario’ to me. Rich Eisen, the NFL Network draft host, agreed,” King wrote. “‘What better way to communicate the necessity to stay inside to stop the spread of the coronavirus than the commissioner of the NFL announcing the picks, alone, from his house in New York?’ Eisen told me.”

The 2020 draft was supposed to take place on the Las Vegas Strip. However, the league and Goodell decided on March 16 that it would no longer take place in public as planned. Ten days later, Goodell announced that the draft would go on as planned when it came to the timeline, but it would, “need to be conducted in a different way.”

If the draft needs to be conducted "in a different way" as of this early stage of the pandemic, exactly what way will a season take place as the pandemic plays out? Do the "32" and their commissioner plan on playing in empty stadiums? Revenues?

If Goodell is going to hold the draft remotely and uses Zoom, which has security issues, it opens up the possibility of some hacker messing things up. I'd love it if some MIT or Harvard type was able to move the Pats up the draft board.

Or a team is going to draft someone from Pornhub University. Although I think they fixed much of their issues.

What about ...
23 - 87 - 98 - 125- 2021 1st - Edleman for #3/35?

This raises an interesting question: are there any circumstances in which Belichick is willing to use future round picks to trade up in a current draft?

Of the 100+ trades he's made, he's literally never done it. He'll gladly trade away current picks for future ones, and to trade future picks for players from the Island of Misfit Toys, but he's never even thrown in a future 7 in a draft-day trade.

Good point. Although the case can probably be made that's bc he hasn't had to?
Point stands though. It would be a first.

I dont put much stock in these basement wannabe NFL GM draft grades and player evaluations

$1.00 and this info will buy a can of root beer.

Last I heard they were allowing a lot of penetration...

If the value is there, he would. He has job security and a long term plan. Many gms need to win now, so value a pick they can use in the current draft more than one a year or two down the line, making that type of trade usually not worth it for him.

Understand that. Just passing it along. Haven't been looking extensively at the draft forum and hadn't heard about their interest in Morgan.

I think alot of members are against him but if we like him with a late round flier I don't see a issue.
My late round binkie personally is Cole Mcdonald

2-gap?

Watching Morgan’s tape, the player who stands out to me is tony gaiter IV. Could be a nice addition to the UDFA class as a KR/slot wr. Fun fact, we drafted his daddy back in the late 90s.

As for Morgan, he’s got a petty good arm but to me looks like a day 3 guy. Throws off his back foot a lot relying on his arm, those deep underthrows for completions become picks in the NFL.

 

[Patsgofor4]

I noticed that Bacon listed him as third round value on his rankings, same grade as Hurts. I personally don't know much about him. BGC, care to comment about what you see in him?

I don't want to give you a "disagree" click but no way BB takes him in the 3rd. I'll take that bet. Nothing else to bet on right now
I DO like this kid though. Outside the 1st round QB's (not a big Fromm fan in the 3rd), it's him or McDonald in the 5th or later.

I honestly don’t think we will spend a 3rd on him. It’s just the kind of thing Bill does sometimes with regards to reaching for a guy way early.

Agree, don’t really think we’ll spend a 3rd, but that kind of reach is the type of move Bill has made in the past. I’m just overreacting to the report.
