2020 NEP Draft Big Board/Draft

Personally, the only player that’s at least projected to go in the first round that would irritate me if drafted at #23, would be Xavier McKinney.
Delpit as well.

Yep. All the athletic talent in the world but you can’t teach the drive to actually tackle. I don’t see a safety who will shy away from contact as a first round need.

Great threads on Bryan Edwards.

Feels like I've been watching Edwards forever. Broke out at 18. + size and really knows how to use his physicality. He's pretty good off the line but really knows how to win at the top of his route. + Hands, subtle usage to create some space. Good fakes as well. Easily one of the best off the line, top of route & catch point imo. He's vg in all regards, very polished.
That's what Harry should be doing rn. Big guys like that need that in the game. Thomas, Diggs, AT, Allen ... All great at the top of the route creating space.

Edwards would be that prototype big body X. Security blanket. Move the chains. Big play, back shoulder, fade along the sidelines.

Definitely worth a read. I really like Crock. Seems like a humble guy. C1 is always great.

I love Edwards game, he reminds me so much of Michael Thomas. If he didn’t get injured and could test properly pre-draft I think he would be a fringe 1st round pick. I have him right behind Justin Jefferson as my #5 WR in this draft class.

Yeah I get those "Pro Mike Thomas" vibes too. Thomas is so good in that area. People are joking about him being a RB on Twitter but credit to him & Brees, for making it look easy. He's great though. Again hope Harry is watching is tape.

This class has everything. Slot, Z, X, hybrid.

Mims, Pittman, Edwards, Higgins, AGG & a few others that definitely worth a look fill that type.

I think Reagor is worth a 1st but have a feeling it'll only be Ruggs, Lamb & JJ in the 1st? If that's the case or even if 4 go Rd1. There will be some outstanding value in this draft.

2020/2021 are absolutely loaded with WR/RB. We should have no problem finding legit starters throughout the Draft/udfa imo. Really looking forward to a new group of talent coming in.
 
Add him to the KVN/Collins, potential replacements.
Uche is very intriguing. Talk about a prospect that flashes. I really like his potential and have a 2nd on him (*edit* actually a 3rd, 7.95, missing a 2nd by .5 Not a huge difference)
I mean he has legit burst/jump off the line, has some real flexibility/bend and and really improved his overall attack this year as well as his hand strength and grip. Can work the edge but also, as you can see in the clip below. Can attack inside. He hit up ND, Wisky and a fee others inside as well.
Has played/practiced off the ball LB. I really like his movements. Shows real agility, quicks, stop/start ability. Closing speed.
He's a Swiss army knife that kinda got lost in the shuffle at Michigan. They did have a ton of talent over the last few years so he playing time was limited. Definitely has the size, movements & versatility to make an impact somewhere imo.

BGC - if we stay with our 23rd pick, would you take a risk and grab a WR? If yes who would you pick assuming Ruggs,Jeudy and Lamb are gone?
Personally my binky is Reagor but realistically I doubt he will land at the Patriots. 23rd seems to be too early for him but in the middle of the 2nd he will be gone.
 
Decent jump but really hits it on steps 2 & 3. Nice job at asserting length and reducing surface. Chop at the end to finish the rep. Good rep


Violent cross chop. Well timed with his steps again




Decent job at dipping under the shoulder

Reagor, he's my WR3.

I think Ruggs/Lamb go WR1/2.
JJ falls out of top ten but not past 15 (Denver) I actually think their in play for Reagor. They could have a sweet trio with Fant & Sutton. Fant showed a lot last year imo and will be a stud. Sutton looks like a legit top 15 WR. I bet TB might even think about? If they keep all their weapons how would you cover them haha?

Anyway yea I really like Reagor. He's legit imo. Would be a perfect complement to Harry. Give Stid's another weapon.

I'd HATE to see him in KC or Balt. Those two offense could be even better over the next 5 years if they hit on this draft.
 




About 99.9% done. Might look at 10-15 more prospects but this is about it.

The team knows a lot more about the future of Andrews than we do.

That being said, can Ruiz play OG? Is he ready to compete as a starter?

If we stay at 23 (not a good enough value on a trade down), then I have to believe that we are considering Ruiz and whatever OT's are available at 23. I believe that an OL would provide the best value at 23 UNLESS Thuney is signed long-term, and everyone else is considered healthy and strong enough to be part of the OL through 2021.

I think so. Initially I had him pegged as a Thuney replacement. I think C might be his spot unless a team really wants a move.

Just seems like a natural leader there. Could be a young QBs best friend. Ruiz can call out protections. Very capable of handling a lot on his plate. Very aware of what's going on. Vocal. But he'll also put someone in the ground for getting to close to his QB. I think he's a good one.

This draft has a lot of potential converts that make sense. G with smaller arms that could naturally kick inside. Tackles to Guards.

Not a bad OL at all
