40. WR Tee Higgins 57. EDGE Julian Okwara 90. CB Amik Robertson 4th round: RB AJ Dillion 5th round: DT Benito Jones
I was so pumped for the offseason and looking forward to the draft. It even started with a bang by signing Roby at a great price. Will Higgins realistically be available by then? This might comfort me and Deshaun a little. "Workin' on the weekend like usual Way off in the deep end like usual Eses swear they passed us, they doin' too much Haven't done my taxes, I'm too turnt up"
Think he is. Higgins, Jefferson, Aiyuk, Shenault, and Mims all seem to be bunched up and could really go in any order. With a Lamb, Juedee and Ruggs locked in to go in the 1st, think it is realistic that 3 or more of those guys will be available. I would expect to see a run on QBs but hope we see team(s) get antsy and go for Swift and/or Taylor in the 1st. Think teams will see the depth at WR and hold off.
Walter Football Big Board - I like to think you could have your pick from +/- a couple from the number 38. Zack Baun, LB, Wisconsin. 39. Justin Madibuike, DT, Texas A&M 40. Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU 41. Kyle Dugger, S, Lenoir-Rhyne 42. Shane Lemieux, G, Oregon 43. Terrell Lewis, LB, Alabama 49. Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame. Outlying thought here, draft Lemieux and cut Fulton, saves cap, strengthen the OL for 5 years at 2nd round money. Claypool was their first WR past 40. 55. Jacob Eason, QB, Washington.Previously: 56. Robert Hunt, OT, Louisiana.Previously: 57. Anfernee Jennings, LB, Alabama 58. Lynn Bowden, WR, Kentucky. 59.Jon Greenard, DE, Florida. 60. Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah Obviously Jaylon Johnson but rumors have going at 51 to the Cowboys 87. Quez Watkins, WR, Southern Miss (4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash) 88. Charlie Heck, OT North Carolina 89. Logan Stenberg, G, Kentucky 90. Jabari Zuniga, DE, Florida 91. Ke'ShawnVaughn, RB, Vanderbilt 92. Lamical Perine, RB, Florida 93. Khalid Kareem, DE, Notre Dame 94. Colby Parkinson, TE, Stanford 95. Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia I went to 95 here because Hall is a good CB, thinking you could get a good CB at 90 probably influences your thinking about 40 and 57
Will the virtual draft make it harder for teams to trade?@EDSFootball's latest mock previews the first five rounds in the (unlikely) event there aren't any trades at allhttps://t.co/nSsiwEf2YR pic.twitter.com/kiHbajmMKi — The MMQB (@theMMQB) April 9, 2020
Not sure if it being virtual makes it harder vs not being able to fully evaluate guys like years past and teams being somewhat hesitant to give up capital to move up. Wonder how “set” team’s draft boards are at this point. No pro days, team workouts, personal interviews, etc...to really move guys up and down. And assuming all the tape, combine data, etc...has been dissected ad nasuem by now.
Really would like Terrell Lewis with our 2nd pick at 57. I think he'll fall due to injury concerns. Have a feeling he's not a BoB type guy though.
I really want to double down on WRs with two of the first four picks. We could potentially have two impact guys and solidify our 1,2, and 3 WR spot for many years. Assuming they'd stay healthy. It's the only way for O'Brien to save face in the Hopkins trade. That second group has some potential steals. Shenault looks great. Mims could be good. Aiyuk could be a steal. . Tee Higgins looks good. Etc. Then, in the third group, we could get a Bryan Edwards or Gandy-Golden potentially in the fourth. That would be killer. Just need tons of pass rush and an interior lineman and we'll be alright.
