2020 NFL-DRAFT - Live from Rodger Goodells basement
- Thread starter Himynameischris
- Start date
Burrow looked incredible in that one year though, and it just happened to be his final year.
I like Tua, but man... I'd have a hard time picking him with that injury history.
Herbert scares me because he just doesn't look the same throwing the ball from down to down. Sometimes he looks perfect throwing 1 down and then looks goofy the next.

Fuck yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
People are being fooled by his physical profile and how great he looks throwing the ball in no pads with no pressure. He is an athlete so in situations like the combine he will look like a beast. When you watch him in games though with his pads on and game time pressure he looks completely different.
If he was a black qb he would be a mid rounder and no one would be talking about him.
Really looking forward to this draft. It's strange obviously but I time zone differences and work on Friday mean I've usually had to catch up the next day. Not in work tomorrow so will try to stay up to watch it. Fascinated to see how it pans out (technically and in terms of picks). Another draft with the Bears out of round one.
Also, anyone fancy doing that NFL.com predict the picks thing?

Is there an era predict-the-pick group?
Browns predictions:
- We trade down twice in the first round.
- Patrick Queen, LB, LSU
- Austin Jackson, T, USC

Fully prepared for the Lions-Dolphins trade scenario to end in Bob Quinn losing the 3rd overall pick down the back of the sofa.
Oh absolutely. I'm honestly fine if he doesn't trade back and just gets Okudah. But I think problems start up when BQ tries to get cute with the draft. I'm also fully prepared for him to trade back and screw up the picks that way as well.
You'll get your trade out of the top 10 and your 1st round guard, and you'll damn well like it.
Exactly! I'm over here reading reports that the Dolphins are considering trading up to the Lions #3 spot... FOR AN OFFENSIVE TACKLE.
I can't take much more of this.
Less than 24 hours until...
Most excited I've been for a prospect since I started watching football
Just hope Haskins doesn't prove to be ass.
Lions trade 3rd overall to the Patriots, Patriots draft Tua, Bill laughs from his evil lair
NFLEra:
jk but that's my tinfoil hat scenario. You know the Lions and Patriots love to trade with each other though

All I know is that we're either going to be elated tonight, or we're gonna be looking for a new sport to watch lol.
Rather see them do that and then take Love later than take Herbert
I haven't seen anything from Love other than highlights on YT but I wasn't very impressed... every good throw is a deep shot to an open receiver with tons of time and a clean pocket. I'm worried about the jump from Utah State to the NFL.
Honestly I want Tua. In the words of Arians, "no risk it, no biscuit."
He reminds me a bit of a slightly shorter Brock Osweiler.

*Tua breaks in half by week 4.
i want Tua as well. The other prospects are okay, but nothing special (I need more than one good season from Burrow). If Tua makes the jump to pro and avoids injuries, he could be one of those once in a lifetime QBs. I want that excitement. I don't want another Jay Fiedler.
If he is we'll be in the Trevor Lawrence/Justin Fields/whoever else emerges because it feels like there's always one every year sweepstakes
If he's not we have him and a cornerstone edge rusher and can expedite the rebuild without having to start over at QB
I feel he'll be another Wentz. He will get a team far but pack a good spare for the final mile because hes going to break down.
Usually I agree but just watching Tua this last year the dude just doesn't know when to live to fight another day.
Game after game where they are up 30+ points against inferior opponents and he's out there taking unnecessary hits and trying to slip out of tackles with his ankles getting tackled in two different directions. And this is after multiple injuries from previous years. I was hoping he'd finally show improvement last year in that kind of decision making but what I saw was the same stuff.
I can definitely get behind drafting Queen we desperately need help at LB.
Maybe, but I'd rather take that risk than go with a guy who, "HAS ALL THE TOOLS AND LOOKS THE PART."
There's a chance he will get hurt in the virtual off-season workout. Beware.
Yeah after looking at his history this would not surprise me even a little.
IF healthy he is a slant route machine. Other than that, wasn't at all the burner he was supposed to be out of USC.
