2020 NFL Offseason Thread?

[tarcone]

Iowa was a 10 win team with a shitty pair of guards. They leaned on a freshman center and Wirfs and Alaric Jackson who was hurt a lot.

Wirfs made that run game and gave their overrated QB time to do stuff.

Wirfs is a monster and will be a perennial pro bowler

I don't know why I'm watching, it will be 11:30 pm before the Patriots pick, and they'll probably trade out of the first round

I saw a recent breakdown of the 2015 draft. The only great player out of the top 10 was Schreff, an O lineman from Iowa.

You would think the NFL would realize what Iowa does.

They are taking AJ Epenesa from Iowa.

Big NE Patriots/Iowa connection

Damn you

[BishopMVP]

Derrick Brown over Isaiah Simmons also a bit of a surprise, but that Panthers run defense was hideous last year...

[tarcone]

One dude wearing a mask, why?

[tarcone]

Cardinals or Jets for Wirfs. Which one?

I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say "the NFL Draft is going to draw /huge/ numbers" when the ratings come in tomorrow morning

Never mind that some of those were expected (like Manziel)

I like this draft more than any other, because I dont have to watch Deion Sanders interviewing the guys just picked.

[tarcone]

Jacksonville GMs kid makes the pick

Dad Say WAIT, dnt push that button

[tarcone]

I see NCAA2014 in my immediate future

[tarcone]

Wirfs here?

[tarcone]

Shoot, my daughter started walking at 6 months. She isnt that great an athlete.

[tarcone]

Echo, echo, echo

Perhaps the NFL has realized the Redskins have been a shitty team with a good guard who they drafted at 1.5?

Trying to remember the last Patriot from Iowa.

I'd be pretty annoyed with Epenesa tonight, though fine with him on Day 2. Would much prefer one of the LB's (Queen, Murray) or EDGE guys like Chaisson who can occasionally drop into space, Epenesa is strictly hand in the ground (Same with Gross-Matos.) I guess the WR's are falling so maybe one of the speedsters is still there at 24 plus Delpit could be a McCourty replacement if he's there, though a trade down into the early 2nd to target Cole Kmet or a WR like Mims or Shenault is also my most likely guess.

All pro Guard.

[tarcone]

Wow. I am shocked. This does not make any sense to me. Where does Wirfs drop to now?

Wirfs has short arms so I'm sure there's concern (or even an assumption) he ends up at guard.

[Thomkal]

Can't really complain about the Cards pick, looks like simmons fell to them. Can't believe Panthers didn't take him after Kuekle retired

A better team?

I believe not a 1st round pick, BUT, Fernetz and belichek are close. Very close. There may be some influence there. But maybe not.

Good for him. He will make a good team better.

[JPhillips]

Did Wirfs have a problem with his physical?

Road grader for sure. Thats why i thought the Giants would take him.

No, in fact, he set many records at the combine.

Goodell is so friggin stiff.

Little Mac in the Raiders draft room!

[sabotai]

Stop me if you've heard this before. With their 1st round draft pick, the Raiders select the fastest WR in the draft.

shocking

[bhlloy]

This pick brought to you by the desiccated corpse of Al Davis

[tarcone]

Did they thaw Al out to make that pick?

And there you go

[tarcone]

There you go. Great pick for them. Brady and Gronk and the Pats. HMMMM

[SegRat]

I’m enjoying watching all the people at these kids houses that are very obviously trying not to be on camera I’m sure due to covid.

[tarcone]

This has been my favorite draft. Less of the BS around the whole thing with the crowd and Deion Sanders.

[tarcone]

Next question is AJ Epenensa. Solid guy. But I didnt think he was ready. One more year at Iowa would have been a better idea. But money talks.

Yeah, this is absolutely the best part of the whole thing. I’m also assuming that is Jerry Jones’ wife but I’m going to pretend it’s his bit on the side who didn’t realize the camera was rolling yet because it makes me laugh.

[tarcone]

I think Jason Garrett would be a hell of an OC in college

If it wasn’t for all the gross adverts and “we are all in this together” mush I would agree with you. Not having all the analysts in studio together trying to one up each other has been way better in terms of watchability, and no Deion trying to be down with the youth has also helped.

[tarcone]

Shoot, I could make a Kansas CB miss.

[MizzouRah]

Best WR in the draft in Lamb. Heck of a pick by the Cowboys.

[cuervo72]

Yeah, I'd be cool with this setup every year.

[bhlloy]

I’m partial to Justin Jefferson personally. I think he’s going to be great value for a team late in the first. He looked like one of the better college WR I’ve in a while every time I watched him last year.

[bhlloy]

What an awesome story Austin Jackson is. Very happy for him to go that high.
