2020 NEP Draft Big Board/Draft

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Love your first mock draft here, not only from the players you have chosen but also the two first round picks you got from the trades for the next 2 years, that's some valuable ammo going forward!

Would love it if thats how it would play out

That's just our future picks in case I wanted to trade up I believe.

I love Ashtyn Davis pick - a bit forgotten and underated to me amongst other Safeties. Pundits link Delpit, McKinney with Patriots in first round but Davis or Geno Stone are my candidates to be taken later.However Davis might be long gone till 3rd round.

From AD's bio
• Cal's J. Scott Duncan Award as its Most Valuable Player on Special Teams as both a 2016 redshirt freshman and 2017 sophomore, while he picked up the team's Joe Roth Award for his courage, attitude and sportsmanship as a 2019 senior
• One of three finalists for the Burlsworth Trophy given annually to the nation's top player who began his collegiate career as a walk-on
On the watch list for the Paul Hornung Award given to the nation's most versatile player

Both him and Stone are definitely on our radar. Stone is one I haven't talked about enough. Very limited but great awareness, instincts and feel for the game. ST with some box defender value if you can plug him in the right spots.

Davis should be on our 3rd-round radar, while Geno Stone looks more like a 6th-round target...

Got a 2nd on Davis but yeh more or less.

BGC, where does Burrow rank compared to guys like Luck, Manning, etc? All-time great QB prospect, or more of a "you have a couple guys like this every year"?

He didn't grade out like that for me bc he only has 1 year to at. Just not enough for my scale to get a big grade. 1st Rd though.

Again the thing I keep coming back to with JB. He walked into a perfect situation-performed dynamite but we didn't get to see much compared to other prospects.

I love him as a prospect but still want to still him do it. So below guys like Luck, Wentz, Darnold, Jackson but higher than Baker, Rosen for example.

I like to see the bad from prospects. In fact I want to see some bad to see if its the bad you can work with. One year production. Walked into an amazing situation. Are mostly why he didn't grade that high. Again though 1st Rd grade, slightly ahead of Tua. He's a good one to build with.
Great feel, awareness & movements around the pocket. Moved as good as anyone recently in the pocket. Great timing and footwork on the move. + Anticipation & calmness when the bullets fly.
Arm is so-so but everything else above puts him in a great spot.
He did an amazing job leading his WRs. QBs lead, WRs track and he always put the ball in the perfect spot. Great touch & placement.

I love hearing this stuff even if I don't agree with it.

Thanks.

I saw Burrow had some ungodly QBR under pressure...and it was like twice anyone else’s. So he really blew me away as a casual observer.

He was remarkable from under pressure. That's where his movement really shined. Always on time sliding or stepping up, maybe to take off just at the right moment.
I'd have to say it was easily the most impressive thing about his game. He made some crazy plays off script.

I think he'll be a good one. Hopefully Cinci steps up too.

I've loved Johnson for minute now. I'd bet on him. Releases are so clean and varied.

Surprised to read this...I'd still take Wills in a heartbeat if he fell to #23...

 

[captain stone]

Agree with the takes on Love, Blacklock & Gallimore...NOT P-TPs...

I'd still take Kinlaw and Simmons if either of them fell to #23...

Too bad he didn't get to perform at the combine or at his pro day...He & South Carolina's Bryan Edwards are two WRs especially hurt by not being medically cleared for the combine and seeing their pro days cancelled...they probably would've been given more 3rd-round consideration here otherwise...

 

[captain stone]

And who are those two teams Mike: Miami & San Diego? Smokescreens...

I think Edwards could still land day 2. Wouldn't be shocked to see Johnson either but he's had it rough lately
