whatdrought Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) What's something out of the ordinary, or slightly unusual that you think about the upcoming draft? Not crazy predictions, per se, but just something you think/believe that is unlikely to be widely agreed upon. Mine has no real backing other than just my gut feeling from minimal research: Jacob Eason will end up being better than most of the QB's in this draft... Maybe the best. Not sure why I feel that way, but there it is. Another one of mine is that Chase Young is probably overrated... Not because he's not good, but just because he's seen as too sure a thing. It's always a red flag to me. Whatcha got? Edited April 16, 2020 by whatdrought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Joe Burrow will end up being average at best, a bust at worst. Tua will have the better pro career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Justin Jefferson will be one of the best WR in this entire draft class. Dobbins will be better than Taylor. Okudah is the best player in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tua will continue to get injured imo and never live up to his potential because of it is 1 of mine. I don't know how unique these are but: Herbert will be a bust. I just don't see it with him. I like Lamb as the clear best wr in the draft. Jeudy's hands make me nervous. Hottest take I have for this draft: Zack Moss will be a star in the nfl.

GunnerBill Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I don't know that I have any "hot takes." Everything I think about the class is based on hours of watching these guys here are a fee of my less commonly held views though. 1. This is not actually a great draft class. There isn't a huge number of studs at the top and beyond wide receiver I don't actually think it is very deep. Not sure how many starters are coming from beyond the 2nd round. 2. CJ Henderson is not that good. Too many mental mistakes for me to buy into him. 3. Denzel Mims will make next to no impact as a rookie. Sloppy technique in every way.

whatdrought Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Also, I don’t get the Isaiah Simmons love. I see the potential, but there’s a lot of ways it could go wrong as well. Players without positions are scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkollidas Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Bills Don’t draft an edge rusher. 1) I think they value interior pass rush more than edge rush (quicker and more direct path to the QB) 2) their edge guys work a little different than most (set the edge as opposed to going for broke after the QB) 3. I think they like Their guys better than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GETTOTHE50 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Belichick hacks teams zooms and causes their feed to freeze when they try to pick either burrow or Tua. This causes both QBs to drop to him as he laughs maniacally and farts in edelmans face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjnick Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 - Washington is idiotic for not taking Tua at #2. Haskins IMO, is not good and Tua at the very least will be a good bus driver type of QB (Dak like). - Buffalo will take 2 WR's in this draft. - A highly graded WR will be there for Buffalo in the 2nd round and they will take them. - New England will NOT draft a QB. They are going with Stidham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Bills draft a LB in the 2nd. I could see it if a top 3 on their board is there in the 2nd. Not sure who it would be, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 -Alton Robinson will wind up being a very good player -The Bills won't trade up from 54 -The Bills will trade up from 86 -If they don't use 128 in the trade up from 86, they'll trade up from 128 as well Basically I think the Bills will either wind up with 2 second rounders and a couple picks at the end of the draft, or a second and 2 thirds and maybe a pick or two at the end of the draft.
