well if they ship him out of town, their situation was an obvious problem. hey, i'll take the deal if offered. then they save on not taking a RB with their first pick and can draft another needed position.
well forget it now dline as they traded for howard from chicago !! thank you very much. now they can draft in the first 2 rds at other needed positions.
Some draft notes - Quinnen Williams currently has the highest score I have on record for a defensive lineman and he will likely keep that when everything is all wrapped up. There are a lot of players that would typically get drafted at some point on day 3 within this DL/EDGE group that probably become UDFA players because of sheer numbers. Speaking of highest scores and potential records - I may end up with more offensive linemen with first round grades in this class than any since the start of the site (potentially 10). That's an interesting thing to note, considering all of the talk about pass rushers and defensive players, that not a lot of hype is being pushed about the guys up front on the offensive side of the ball. Some new players have been added to the rankings for several positions so their only/final scores will be available on the last update.
@Tim Am I blatantly missing something or did the list of links to prospect tape disappear from the draft page?
Thanks I wanted to take a closer look at Grier last night and was wondering where it went. He's a pretty easy guy to find film on though so it wasn't a huge deal.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick offered some insight into just how difficult it is to watch film of college passing games and project how those players will play in the NFL. Belichick said the passing offenses in college football are so different that it makes it hard to evaluate not only quarterbacks, but everyone else as well. “I’d say the issue in college football is there just is not the same passing game in college football that there is in the NFL, period,” Belichick said. “So, it’s hard to evaluate the receivers, it’s hard to evaluate the quarterback, it’s hard to evaluate the offensive linemen, it’s hard to evaluate the pass rushers and it’s hard to evaluate the coverage players. You know, we’re all looking at the same film, so all the teams in the league, we all see the same games. But, the college passing game is very different from the professional passing game. When you’re looking at it, you’re looking at a lot of it’s really projecting all those positions a little bit differently. To a certain degree, it’s different in the running game, too, but probably less difference in the running game than in the passing game, in my opinion.” College passing concepts are making their way to the NFL and will continue to with Kliff Kingsbury now coaching the Cardinals. But the differences are still significant, and that makes scouting players a challenge. _________ ______________________ Maybe BB should pay attention to L4SN.
Woooo boy... those rumors the skins are going to trade up to 3 seem like they have a hell of a lot more merit all of a sudden after Paulsons post.
I wonder if they expect the Cards to keep Rosen and the move is for Murray... That would be interesting. This got a lot more interesting to be honest. Maybe they can repeat the RGIII experience -- draft Rypien in the fourth...
I posted this on Browns boards, than I thought maybe I should share here too...Pretty funny; @RTTRUTH
Washington tight end Hunter Bryant will forgo his senior season to enter the NFL Draft. He announced his decision on social media Friday. “It’s been a long journey,” Bryant said in a video posted on Twitter. “From the first time I picked up a football when I was five years old to playing at Eastside Catholic and winning championships with my brothers; from training at FSP to going to UW and winning a Pac-12 championship and playing in a Rose Bowl. I’d like to thank everyone who’s helped me out along the way — especially my family, my coaches, my teammates, but most importantly, the fans of Husky nation. “With that being said, I’m declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft and pursuing my childhood dreams of becoming a pro. I can’t wait to make the state of Washington proud.” Bryant played in only 14 games his first two seasons combined because of knee injuries. In 12 games this season, he made 52 catches for 825 yards and three touchdowns. He ranks third in the country among tight ends in catches and receiving yards. Bryant was one of three finalists for the Mackey Award, which honors college football’s top tight end.
Utah State quarterback Jordan Love declares for draft Only a few days ago, rumors circulated that Utah State quarterback Jordan Love might spend his final season somewhere else. Instead, Love is entering the NFL Draft, forgoing his final year of eligibility. He could put himself in position to be a first-round pick, depending on how he performs in the pre-draft process. Love’s 2019 numbers were not nearly as good as his 2018 numbers, so he has questions to answer. Love completed 60.6 percent of his passes in 2019 for 3,085 yards with 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. He completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,567 yards with 32 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2018. In three years, Love completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 8,283 yards with 57 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in 37 games. He also rushed for 387 yards and nine touchdowns. Love will play in the Frisco Bowl against Kent State, he said in a social media post announcing his decision. “Playing for the Aggies has been a dream come true, and with that being said, I am ready to chase my next dream,” Love wrote. “After much prayer, consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided to forgo my senior year at Utah State and enter the 2020 NFL Draft. I knew from the first time I put on a helmet and shoulder pads that I wanted to play in the NFL and am excited to being that journey now. “I haven’t quite closed this chapter in my life, though, as I look forward to putting on my Aggie uniform one final time for our bowl game.” source; PFT
Florida State running back Cam Akers will forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft. Akers announced his decision Saturday on Twitter. “I have decided to enter the 2020 NFL Draft and will not play in the Sun Bowl, ” Akers wrote. “Even though I won’t be playing in the bowl game I will be at practice and in El Paso supporting my teammates.” Akers rushed for 1,144 yards and 14 touchdowns on 231 carries for the Seminoles this season. He also caught 30 passes for 228 yards and four touchdowns in 2019. Akers rushed for 1,025 yards as a freshman and 706 yards last season. He finished his three seasons with 586 carries for 2,875 yards and 27 touchdowns, adding 69 catches for 486 yards and seven touchdowns.
One injury in a meaningless bowl game could drop your draft stock and seriously reduce the money on your first contract.
One player, regardless of how good they are, isn't the reason that team was invited to play in a bowl game.
@Tim. Here is a sleeper TE to keep a watch on. Charlie Woerner UGA Only 34 catches for 364 yards and 1 TD. He didn't have 1 drop and blocks very well. He wasn't really used at Georgia because they basically ignore the TE position. At least half his receptions were of the difficult variety.
Reminds me of Buffalo’s 3rd round pick last year. The Bills got a potentially great TE, Knox, out of Miss State. He was rarely targeted in college because they had some great WR’s and an average-at-best QB. He’s a baller. There’s A LOT more to draft analysis than player stats and measurables. With teams moving to 2 & even 3-TE sets, he’s one to watch.
