2020 Draft Position - 22nd Pick


wppete

Recommended Posts

This has to be the year we draft offense in the 1st round. Ideally a big WR with good hands. In our draft spot Tee Higgins or Justin Jefferson would be my pick. But DE is another big need so I wouldn't be upset if they drafted one first. If we wait until day 2 for a WR, I'd take Davonta Smith out of Alabama. Reminds me of Robert Woods and would be a good complement to John Brown. I can't imagine us taking anything other than a WR or DE with our 1st pick.

UPDATE: Philly lost and we end up with #22nd pick in the 2020 Draft.

 

If Philadelphia beats Seattle today we will end up with the 21st pick in this years draft. If Philadelphia loses we end up with the 22nd pick. I think a legit WR can be had at with 21 or 22. The two guys that could be there for us would be:

 

Laviska Shenault, WR - Colorado

6’2, 225 - 4.4 40 yard

 


 

Tee Higgins, WR Clemson

6’4, 215

 


 

What you guys think? Anyone else you think that would be a good choice at the spot?

 

 

Tee Higgins need more muscle and Shenault reminds me of Sammy Watkins. Injuries and all.

How people want to continually invest in our Defense, I’ll never understand...

 

Although, they did give up the second highest point total on WC Weekend.  (This is sarcasm and I might break my tv if they go defense Rd 1)

Going for a DE or OLB in the first round is not a bad idea.

 

Lorezo Alexander is gone, Jerry Hughes is 31, Trent Murphy is not dependable, and there is no guarantee that we re-sign Shaq Lawson.

 

The WR class is deep this year, and we can get one in the 2nd round.

 

If Yetur Gross-Matos is there when we pick, could you really pass on him?

They need a WR#1 for sure. I would prefer a veteran like AJ Green.  But if you don't think they need to improve the pass rush you then you didn't watch any of the games this weekend.

The defense is by far the primary reason we made the playoffs.

 

If we went from #2 in scoring, to 16th, we probably go 6-10 this year given how awful our offense is.

 

The defense needs to be elite to carry our inept offense. 

Sorry sir but you are looking at this through the long end of the lense

 

The D is STILL going to be good next year because we have invested so many resources into it and the HC is so defensive orientated.

 

The reason why we lost that wild card game is the same reason we won lost 6 other games last season before it.....we dont put enough points on the board when the D finds its few opportunities to screw up.

 

It is time to invest in this offense in a big way ESPECIALLY because this is such a good WR draft....give me Laviska Shenault,

Depends on how free agency and the draft falls, but it would be hard to pass Yetur if we still have edge as a need.

 

Out of curiosity since I haven't looked at the draft much yet - who are the WRs in RD2 we should be targeting if we don't grab one in RD1?

My guesses would be....

Collin Johnson, Texas

Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State

Michael Pittman, USC

Chase Claypool, Notre Dame

 

A sleeper pick that I am looking at for day 3 is, James Proche from Southern Methodist. From what I have read and seen, he's a reliable receiver with great hands and good speed. He's 6'0" and might be more of a slot guy, but I think he could be a steal. He'll be at the East-West Shrine game, so keep an eye out.

Right now Higgins isn’t a top 5 WR in the draft 

???

Seriously?  Look around. He’s projected by most as the #4 or at worst #5 receiver after Jeudy/Lamb/Ruggs III, and in a close battle with Shenault for the #4 spot. I think there’s a drop after Jeudy/Lamb, and then another drop after       Ruggs III/Higgins/Shenault.

I agree the D will be good, but to compensate for this offense and win more games than we lose they need to be great. 

 

They need to be a top 5 scoring D for us to continue contending for the playoffs. 

 

This is an amazing draft class for receivers. There will be incredible value available in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

So.....what usually happens here is we get to those 3rd and 4th rounds and there ends up being some other "better player on the board"

 

We need to STOP DOING THAT......address the need with a good player...dont trade up.....but pick where the draft is strong at  our pick in a position of need

 This is what I found from SI.

 

"He ran a 4.75 40-yard dash as a high school recruit and while he's likely gotten faster since then, he'll probably be a 4.6-guy when the combine and pro day circuit arrives. "Higgins' best asset as a receiver is his exceptional catch radius and leaping ability.“

 

https://www.si.com/college/clemson/football/tee-higgins-2020-nfl-draft-scouting-report-WVO6hiVP-0K-kAOlsN4TYA

If he's a 4.6 guy, he'll likely be there in round 2. College guys often look faster than they actually are because the competition is worse. 4.6 at the WR position gets exposed in the NFL - i.e., Mike Williams, the USC receiver. A guy like Alshon Jeffrey ran a 4.48, and he was a second rounder. Higgins at 4.6 is probably  comparable to a poor man's Jeffery, but that's not say he can't be an impactful player. By way of comparison, another big Clemson receiver - Mike Williams - ran a 4.49 and was an early first rounder.
