Welcome to the live blog. I’ll be posting thoughts on every pick as they come in.
Join in via the comments section but please — no tipping picks.
#1 Cincinnati — Joe Burrow (QB, LSU)
The obvious pick. The best player in college football in 2019 and the Bengals will hope for better days with their new star.
#2 Washington — Chase Young (DE, Ohio State)
The top two picks were locked in weeks ago. The Redskins will try to mimic the Niners by loading up on defensive linemen.
#3 Detroit — Jeff Okudah (CB, Ohio State)
He’s a terrific talent. The best corner to enter the league since Patrick Peterson. Tall, long, fast, physical.
#4 New York Giants — Andrew Thomas (T, Georgia)
Remember when the media had him going in the late first a few months ago? He’s been a top five pick since day one.
#5 Miami — Tua Tagovailoa (QB, Alabama)
This is a huge gamble. $30m guaranteed for a player who is recovering from a serious hip injury, who you haven’t been able to give a medical to.
#6 LA Chargers — Justin Herbert (QB, Oregon)
Herbert is erratic and far from a sure thing. He’s also athletic, creative and has a strong arm. When you need a QB, Miami and LA are showing you have to take a chance.
#7 Carolina — Derrick Brown (DT, Auburn)
Terrific player. The second or third best in the draft. He can anchor, rush and he was disruptive in every game last season.
#8 Arizona — Isaiah Simmons (LB, Clemson)
He’s a fantastic athlete who will be able to spy Russell Wilson and cover George Kittle, provide pass rush and he can attack from so many angles.
#9 Jacksonville — C.J. Henderson (CB, Florida)
Clearly the teams who were looking to move up aren’t feeling it. The Jaguars needed a corner and this made sense. Henderson is incredibly quick and smooth but he can track the ball better and his tackling is suspect.
#10 Cleveland — Jedrick Wills (T, Alabama)
All the talk was the tackles would go off the board quickly. It took to pick ten for the second to leave the board. The Browns didn’t waste any time picking Wills.
#11 New York Jets — Mekhi Becton (T, Louisville)
The Jets really needed to get a tackle and this made a lot of sense. He’s an incredible athlete but needs to work on his pass sets. It’s surprising to see Tristan Wirfs lasting this long. What’s the story there?
#12 Las Vegas — Henry Ruggs (WR, Alabama)
Ruggs isn’t just about speed. He catches well, he’s better in the red zone than you’d expect and you’ll have to have a plan for him on defense every week.
#13 Tampa Bay (v/SF) — Tristan Wirfs (T, Iowa)
The first trade sees Tampa Bay swap places with the Niners. I don’t think anyone expected Wirfs to last this long. He’s a great fit at right tackle.
#14 San Francisco — Javon Kinlaw (DT, South Carolina)
Kinlaw is a beast. He was a true top-10 talent. The Niners essentially swapped out DeForest Buckner and replaced him with a cheaper — yet potentially superior — player.
#15 Denver — Jerry Jeudy (WR, Alabama)
I’ve said for a long time — Jeudy is ideal for a team with a young quarterback. He’s a terrific route runner and very reliable. This is a smart move to help Drew Lock.
#16 Atlanta — A.J. Terrell (CB, Clemson)
Terrell was a hot name late in the process. He’s a 4.42 runner and he can stick in coverage. He has shorter than ideal arms but he was trending towards the top-20.
#17 Dallas — Ceedee Lamb (WR, Oklahoma)
The Cowboys have big needs on defense and a new hole at center — but clearly they felt the value was too good here. They paid Amari Cooper and now they have Lamb.
#18 Miami — Austin Jackson (T, USC)
They needed to draft a left tackle and that’s what Jackson is. He’s raw and needs time. Yet the potential to be special is very much there.
#19 Las Vegas — Damon Arnette (CB, Ohio State)
Arnette is a quality player. He’s really good. It’s a big surprise and a reach — but he’s talented. He’s so physical and tough but he can cover too. He’s small though and lacks length.
#20 Jacksonville — K’Lavon Chaisson (EDGE, LSU)
I’m really surprised by this. The Jaguars now have two pass rushers who are 255-260lbs (with Josh Allen). His pass rush win percentage is poor. He has injuries. He’s a quality person though and will help improve the locker room.
#21 Philadelphia — Jalen Reagor (WR, TCU)
Reagor is a fantastic player. He’s so explosive and physical. He can get downfield but his terrific lower body power enables him to leap above taller defenders and high-point. Great pick.
#22 Minnesota — Justin Jefferson (WR, LSU)
The Vikings swap Stefon Diggs for Jefferson. He’s mature, consistent, plays above his size to win contested catches and he’s a safe pair of hands.
#23 LA Chargers (v/NE) — Kenneth Murray (LB, Oklahoma)
The Chargers move way up, jumping from #37 up to #23. It only cost them a third rounder. That won’t encourage the Seahawks if they want to move down. If the price to go down 14 spots is a third rounder, that’s not great value. Murray is high character, highly athletic and he packs a punch.
#24 New Orleans — Cesar Ruiz (C, Michigan)
I’m not sure how he fits a year after they selected Erik McCoy and after recently extending Andrus Peat. However, Ruiz is a fantastic player and person. The value here is superb.
#25 San Francisco (v/MIN) — Brandon Aiyuk (WR, Arizona State)
The third trade and it’s a surprise to see the Niners move up, considering how few picks they have in this class. Even so — they lost Emmanuel Sanders and have gone up to make sure they get the receiver they want. Aiyuk is going to be a terror in that offense. His acceleration plus his ability to beat you deep and in space is incredible. This was a good day for the Niners.
#26 Green Bay (v/MIA) — Jordan Love (QB, Utah State)
In my final mock I had Green Bay trade with the Seahawks at #27. Instead, they go a spot further and deal with Miami. They weren’t trying to get above Seattle because they made the move for a QB. The Packers are planning for life after Aaron Rodgers.
#27 Seattle — Jordyn Brooks (LB, Texas Tech)
It’s a stunner. The Seahawks take a linebacker in round one. He’s a 4.54 runner but he didn’t do any of the other tests at the combine. They didn’t go O-line, D-line, running back or receiver. I’m going to need some time to work this out. Is it to replace Mychal Kendricks? Is it planning for life beyond K.J. Wright? And if so, did that really warrant a first round pick a year after they traded up in round three to get Cody Barton? In terms of need, fit and board — I’m struggling to understand the thought process.
#28 Baltimore — Patrick Queen (LB, LSU)
I like Patrick Queen. He’s an ideal fit for the Ravens. He fits their mentality and their approach. The Ravens continue to move forward.
#29 Tennessee — Isaiah Wilson (T, Georgia)
Isaiah Wilson is really good. He was always destined for round one and this is an ideal pick for a team who want to batter opponents with Derrick Henry.
#30 Miami (v/GB) — Noah Igbinoghene (CB, Auburn)
He’s another player who was said to be rising late. The Dolphins already signed Byron Jones so this doesn’t say much for the future of Xavier Howard.
#31 Minnesota (v/SF) — Jeff Gladney (CB, TCU)
Mike Zimmer loves to draft cornerbacks and it’s not a surprise to see one go here.
#32 Kansas City — Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB, LSU)
Big Clyde is a superstar waiting to happen in this offense. What a pick. Perfect.
Hooray! Let’s do this!
and no tipping picks 😉
Wait, what is “tipping picks” if it’s all an internet stream anyways?
Like, when is it ok to start reacting to and talking about a certain team’s pick?
Should Rob/someone post each pick in all caps/bold in the comments signalling it’s ok to discuss it and so each one can kind of be its own discussion topic?
>Wait, what is “tipping picks” if it’s all an internet stream anyways?
Picks announced by Shefter and the like on Twitter before Goodell announces it
Ah, ok. I just thought that since those guys weren’t going to be there live this year, they wouldn’t really be able to tweet it out ahead of the broadcast anyways.
Sometimes, the pick is leaked on twitter before the pick is announced by the commissioner. Kind of spoils the surprise
Won’t have people watching the green room and phones to get tipped off before it is announced… 🙂
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I LOVE YOU ROB
Are you all ready for an inevitable trade down when an elite talent might still be on the board? Cause you better be!
When a mediocre product of media hype you mean?
Black Panther clue = we have a trade down in place with the Panthers.
CAR gets: R1P27
SEA gets: R2P38 + R3P69
I wondered about that, but seemed too obvious.
That would be ideal!
Trading up for isiah simmons.
I’d be stoked for that trade.
Rob – Thank you for another year’s work to connect this community to our team and make us a bit smarter. To echo everyone else, the content has been just that much better. I really appreciate the careful way you balance passion, analysis, level-headedness and an exceptional use of the English language. Thank you for all the time you put in.
I like the trade downs. It’s become its own meme for the way hawks approach drafts. I love that they trust it and don’t fold to Twitter roars.
(re-post)
Per Breer just now:
https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/04/23/nfl-draft-2020-first-round-news-rumors-updates
Hope we get one of the Big 3 RBs tonight. Taylor, JK, or Clyde.
Amen. (or tomorrow)
No doubt! Then go hard for defense with a WR sprinkled in somewhere (just not the fourth round, any other round for a WR is acceptable).
Would feel like a missed opportunity to pass on depth of OT, when every other draft, you have to pick in the top 15 to get a quality tackle.
Depth at tackle
Draft one high
Clue #5 is up: a scene from “The Other Guys”
https://twitter.com/PeteCarroll/status/1253462508339261442
So they aren’t trading up lmao
Hahahahaha! 😂😂
‘You drafting a bisexual?’
Dang, this one has me stumped. Ideas from Twitter:
Will Ferrell here and in Zoolander clue. USC? Austin Jackson?
Isaiah Simmons.. (shooting up-trading up for new weapon/black Panther reference/ length-toy story wingspan reference)
Fast lineman in the trenches, 88 inch wingspan, 5.09 40, protection for russ,working two jobs as a basketball player and tackle… going with Alex Taylor
WAIT…. What if the black panther clip means we are trading up to Carolinas pick, which would be #7 , and we could get Isaiah Simmons there. Plus in zoolander, he uses a 2nd look, Isaiah Simmons plays multiple positions, meaning different looks.
Darrell Taylor. 2 jobs. He can play DE and LB similar to Bruce Irving
A little bit of a Gamble…. Darrell Taylor?
A new weapon? (WR/RB) for Wilson
That Terrence Steele one was a damn good guess. I’ll give dude that.
Will Ferrell’s nickname is Gator in this movie. Zuniga or Greenard?
Got em
Looking back through PC’s draft history, Seahawks have drafted a lineman (OL or DL) with one of their first two picks every year. They have drafted an OL + DL with the first two picks twice.
1917 – Run like the wind (Speed to burn)
Toy Story – Always falling forward (Get tough yards)
Zoolander – M or W (Throwing Star)
Black Panther – The realization/making of a King (Epic Production)
Desk Pop – Don’t think Just Go (Hit the hole hard)
Leads me to think, Jonathan Taylor
Just wanted to thank Rob for the blog and all your writing. Also wanted to say keep an eye on Asi asi the Tight End. And finally———Go Hawks!——-
I’m a big fan of Asiasi
Please don’t say who’s been picked until its announced on TV. This is always a problem. Please dont be that guy.
And please don’t be the first guy to say ‘I can’t believe JSPC picked X instead of my draft crush’. 🙂
Awe man and I had that que’d up and ready to post 😀 haha
Rob would be awesome to see you do side by side picks. Who you would select whenever the hawks come up and then we can look back how your selections versus the actual picks performed.
Im in the seahawks zoom to boo Goodell
Kenny “Boo Bird” Sloth
Watch Round 1 tonight starting at 5PM PST on ESPN, NFLN, and ABC!
Wowza, going to be monster ratings
Any options for those of us who cut the cord?
I’m watching on sportsurge dot net
Clue #7 is up: Rambo First Blood chase scene
https://twitter.com/PeteCarroll/status/1253469427837726720
Oh. Adam Trautman.
Nice thought. It also takes place in Oregon, so one of the Duck OL or Breeland, maybe.
Trautman is the main character other than Rambo.
Does whatever it takes to take it to the house…
Trade out of 1st. Being chased into “greenard” pasture. Jon greenard DE/LB Fla Gators. DE’s chase QB
Oooh: Dalton “Rambo” Keene. TE Virginia Tech.
So excited for tonight! My final mock. Thanks again Rob for all that you do!
Trade down W/ Green Bay for 30, 94
Trade down W/ Indy for 34, 122, 160
Trade up W/ Chicago 59 and 122 for 50
Trade down W Miami 160 to 173 and 227
RD2: 34- RT- Isaiah Wilson- Georgia
I think the Hawks would love to draft Jonathan Taylor or Jalen Reagor, but I see both guys being gone by this point. So I’m going with the guy I started my mocks with and that’s Wilson who is a monster size lineman, just the way Solari likes them. Was a leader on one of the best OL’s in the nation last year.
Alt- Ezra Cleveland, Josh Jones, Austin Jackson
RD 2: 50- DE- Julian Okwara- Notre Dame
A long quick DE that can fill the LEO role. Athletic with some twitch to him. I could see him playing the old Bruce Irvin role.
Alt- Jabari Zuniga, Josh Uche, Curtis Weaver, Darrell Taylor
RD 2: 64- DT- DaVon Hamilton- Ohio St.
His best football could be ahead of him. Stout run defender with great power. One year starter at Ohio St. 6 sacks last year.
Alt- Justin Madubuike, *Raekwon Davis, Jonathon Greenard
RD 3: 94- LB- Willie Gay Jr- Miss. St. Testing numbers very close to B Wags. They need more speed at the LB position.
Alt- *Jordyn Brooks, Troy Dye, Davion Taylor, Malik Harrison
RD 3: 101- WR- Van Jefferson- Florida
One of the best route runners in college football. Sticky hands.
Alt- Bryan Edwards, *Chase Claypool, Devin Duvernay, *Michael Pittman Jr
RD 4: 133- CB- Bryce Hall- Virginia
Would have been one of the top CB’s in the class if it wasn’t for injures.
Alt- Michael Ojemudia, Troy Pride JR, Terrell Burgess, K’von Wallace, Amik Robertson
RD 4: 144- OG- Damien Lewis- LSU
Another grown man to add to the OG competition.
Alt- Shane Lemieux, *John Simpson, Logan Sternberg
RD 5: 173- DT- McTelvin Agim- Arkansas
Agim can get into the backfield with a quick first step. Posted 5 sacks last year.
Alt- Tyler Clark, Trevis Gipson, Benito Jones
RD 6: 214- RB- Michael Warren II- Cinci
His nickname is “The Truck”. Runs tough and kind of remind me of Marshawn.
Alt- Deejay Dallas, Josh Kelley, *Zak Moss
RD 7: 227- WR- James Proche- SMU
They add another receiver, but this time one that can add to special teams either by returning kicks or punts.
Joe Reed, K.J. Osborn, *Antonio Gibson
**** Side note: Sleeper Picks not included AJ Espenesa, Jordan Elliot, Clyde Edwards Helaire, JK Dobbins.
GB gives uo #94 to move just 3 spots to 27? 680pts vs 744 pts.
I’m not the best with mocking the trades. Probably should have included a later Hawks pick to balance it out.
Your top 4 are chock to my contest entry
Let’s hope it happens!
Colts GM on the Pat McAfee show just mentioned Schneider as THE guy to trade with during the draft. says he’s a magician at what he does and was impressed with what he did last year
He’s definitely great at maneuvering. Just wish LJ Collier wasn’t part of the equation last year. That’s kind of like drafting a 4th round guy in the 1st round. I’ve been texting with my former student scout this week. He works for the Cowboys now but said the Jets had a “day three” grade on Collier last year. Please, just draft a stud or BPA this year right off the bat – get us a Jonathan Taylor (or JK/Clyde). Maybe with a slight trade down if all three happen to be there at 27.
Colts are trading with the Hawks and drafting Jacob Eason.
Fine by me.
I can’t remember a draft where I’ve loved three RBs like I do in this one – ALL three with potential chances to be there at 27.
I’d be happy with Dobbins or Akers as well.
What’s the best place to watch draft coverage?
Do u not have ESPN or NFLN?
ABC
I have access to both. Just wasn’t sure which did the best coverage.
I flip to whichever isn’t on commercial break.
+12
I mean ABC/ESPN is the same. They have Kiper, Trey Wingo, Michael Irvin, Louis Riddick, etc.
Youtube has a live feed with the crew from Good Morning football. Just type NFL draft live in the search bar.
I’m watching on NFL Game Pass for free.
Just click on the “NFL Network” link on the menu at the top instead of the “Watch live NFL Draft” button that pops up on the home page.
Is that the one w/ Nate Butleson?
Never mind. Looks like it was just the pre-draft coverage and has now cut to a Super Bowl replay.
Lol. Mooch is wearing shorts with his suit top.
Virtual NFL draft
So, just like everyone who does a fantasy draft every year for the last 15 years
*crying*
Well… I Always have fun with ya’ll. Let’s draft!
Let’s do this!
Also, did you notice in The Other Guys clip he says at the 0:15 mark: “so, we’re gonna dance in Highsmith paperwork?”
Am I hearing that right?
Mmmm🤔
That’s what I heard.
I love Harry Conick but this is dreadful.
First pick should have been done by 510 dang it. Let’s move this glacier.
“technical difficulties”
ESPN said the Bengals promised to be fast.
The NFL said, we have to stretch it out to run all the commercials
And thus, I have opened beer #1
Those are rookie numbers…. haha jk! Enjoy the draft everyone!
Big shout out and thank you to Rob and this whole community!
Oh, I have 17 more of them 😉
F**k off Goodell. Move it along.
I’ve been mumbling “get on with it” for the last 10 minutes
Tua has a tight suit, nice threads.
I’m going to need some espresso.
Underrated comment. I just downed 2 double shots myself. 😀
Got the Bialetti going.
My rancilio silvia is 12 years old and still going strong.
Goodell: “Due to technical difficulties the draft will be postponed.”
Daaaang. Kingsbury’s war room destroys everybody…
https://twitter.com/AZCardinals/status/1253477953251340288
Dayum.
Only 2 screens… and a TV.
J Schneider supposedly knocked down 2 walls so he could have 25 screens up at the same time.
Schneidz ain’t f**kn’ around.
He is going for broke!
Yeah, but he’s watching Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy on 2 of those screens.
Maybe I’ll be proved wrong if we get a glance at the feed, but from when I listened to the press conference, when JS said “like 25 screens”, he meant it just as a general way of saying “a lot of screens”. But then Condotta and others took it literally and started writing about it.
But I could be totally wrong. JS did say he is a visual person, but from the pics we’ve seen so far, there are big physical boards just like in the draft room, so I highly doubt he has literally 25 screens.
Is this the “trade time” for teams on the verge of a trade?
My wife is watching with me. She says Joe Burrow’s mom needs to hire an interior decorater.
Hard hitting analysis right there
😂
Those curtains were grandmas for sure…
Looks like every midwestern suburban home I’ve ever seen.
Oh god. Why is ‘Booger’ here?
Not sure I’m liking this ESPN/NFLN/EVERYBODY merger
Booger: The team that pick after the 1st pick will have the 2nd pick
*shocker*
This is so weird seeing these kids at their home for this like they’re waiting for their report card and not the biggest moment of their life.
Laying on a little thick. He’s good enough on talent. Stop pretending he grew up poor.
Hype is real….. production, TBD
Won’t happen next year. ‘Sunshine’ will go 1st overall. ’22 it’ll probably be Oregon’s Thibodeaux or USC’s Drake Jackson, but I wish we had a dilemna at the top of the draft.
I need to rewatch Remember the Titans now lol
This may sound weird I watch the draft but I turn the sound off and listen to serious radio and listen to Gil Brandt and Pat Kirwin
Gregory Rousseau from The U!!!! Better than Thib or Jackson IMO
Rousseau will in all likelihood be a top 3-5 pick next year.
Wasn’t he a freshman?
Redshirt.
Ah. Trade our first. We need to get him next year! 😉
Man, if he doesn’t come out nect year though? Rousseau, Thibs, and Drake in ’22? 🔥
The time between “the pick is in” and the actual announcement is insufferable
Finally, now the real draft starts! Pick #3
Welp. That’s the last we’ll hear of Joe Burrow.
Hate to say it. But I kinda think so too.
Did you see his expression during the entire process. I think even he knew it was the end of him.
Chase Young could use an interior decorator as well.
That Skins D-line is loaded.
Montez Sweat, Chase Young, Jon Allen, Da’Ron Payne, Tim Settle, Matt Ioannidis. Kerrigan off the edge. Good lord.
Glad I’m not in that division. Russ might die.
Means very little if their offense remains a trainwreck.
Rivera loves a stacked DL… no if they can get some offensive play makers
Naturally we have to play them away in 2020…
Maybe they will trade an Edge now?
Time for this to get interesting, Gettleman is a wild card.
Rob is 3/3 so far (though of course the first 2 were slam dunks). 🙂
Rob is DA MAN 😉
Giants should have traded down
I’m surprised that the lions didn’t trade down and still get Okudah. Maybe nobody really wanted to move up there, which speaks to the lack of buzz over the QBs.
IMO, draft starts at pick 5.
I’m sure they tried but there was no partner probrably.
OT selection next
Thinking he suprises and goes Simmons
Screw it! Watch the giants take Tua here lol
they are not called Giants for reasons
Giants look like they might be trying to work a trade……. thumbs moving fast texting
Was Shawn Springs the last corner to go #3 overall?
Highest picked corner in last 20 years, so that is probably true.
Alright MIA, do you trust those medical reports?
I guess so
Thomas family currently winning the drape war.
Rob, you are once again validated with Andrew Thomas being a top-5 pick and the first OT off the board. Probably a guy punch to the Dolphins at 5.
OK, so I’m derailed, had Simmons to NYG. Got that over with
I have him 10 – 15.
Panthers at 7 was my next stop, but that is a common mock.
Rob you’re so spot on with you’re evaluations sometimes. Why I respect ya.
Tua’s house looks the nicest so far.
Family pretty reserved
I think that’s a great pick for the Giants. Reckon Jeremiah et al are dead wrong about Thomas. Fans should be very happy, that’s Barkley and Jones sorted.
It’s a classic example of people like DJ being terrible at their jobs. Happy for Rob on this one, but it always seemed obvious to me.
Classic post-combine overthink.
So much for us trading with the Redskins, completely blows my draft board. Wait til next year SDB!
The right pick for them. IMO.
Keep throwing darts till you hit?
Dolphins trying to right the wrong of passing on Brees…hope for the best but seeing glass
Dolphins take the risky part and take Tua
Now load up with a high quality WR/RB and OT in the first round and you are stacked.
Austin Jackson at 18 and Swift at 26 my guess
Good nucleus to build around
Gotta be Herbert here, right?
Maybe the fun will start here and we get Love.
Man I don’t know…I think more teams have Love higher.
Happy for Herbert but it would have been hard to pass up Simmons or Brown
I’m not usually one for spectacle, but I have to say that the draft seems less exciting without the crowd and players in the green room.
I’m digging it, esp. the pacing. Thought last year’s NashVegas debacle was unwatchable.
Good for Miami. Let him sit for a year and learn
We play in Miami this season.
At this rate, Seattle picks after 9PM pacific time.
FWIW
9PM PST…..tomorrow 😉
You mean that’s when they trade back.
So DET trades really good DBs for next to nothing and then turns around and blows the #3 pick on a DB. So ridiculous IMO. Get Derrick Brown and make your front four legit.
That’s why they’re the Lions. He’s going to be a great player, sure, but they could have had a pair of lockdown CBs.
Chargers go w/ Herbert, an OT, or are we in for our 1st surprise?
I know Rivera is gone but doesn’t Simmons just seeem like a Carolina Panther?
He does and doesn’t. He does because he fills a need and Rhule probably wants to be creative enough to get the most out of him.
He doesn’t because they already have Shaq Thompson.
Out on limb: Maybe Murray or Henderson.
See what I mean?
Any chance we take a shot with a trade to Carolina at 7 to get Simmons?
None
Herbert…San Diego will be on the market for a QB in 2022.
lol – I meant Los Angeles
Might as well have traded for Rosen.
Cheaper option to not get your future QB, for sure.
Pretty vanilla so far.
The Chargers are still gonna be just so close…but not quite there.
I just don’t think he’s that good? Good luck to the Chargers I guess
4 year starter in a joke conference that didn’t improve from his Sophomore year. He looks like a 1st year starter who needs time. Oregon coaches clearly didn’t trust him.
Derrick Brown better not slip to the 49ers
Maybe Wirfs to Cardinals…… oh ohhhhh
DON’T EVEN SAY THAT!
Seahawks trade up for simmons…
That would take WAY to much don’t ya think?
Who knows with Schneider’s negotiating skills.
Is this broadcast on delay? They seem to spend a lot of time talking about the player that ends up getting picked.
Little surprised about Tua over Herbert or Love, but so far an extremely predictable draft. It’s gotta b Brown or Simmons next I’d think.
Herbert pretty obvious pick for chargers. Here comes Simmons to Car.
Final 2020 mock draft
#1 Cincinnati — Joe Burrow (QB, LSU)
#2 Washington — Chase Young (EDGE, Ohio State)
#3 Detroit — Jeff Okudah (CB, Ohio State)
#4 New York Giants — Tristan Wirfs (G, Iowa)
#5 Miami — Andrew Thomas (T, Georgia)
#6 LA Chargers — Justin Herbert (QB, Miami)
Rob, not bads actually…. 5/6 on guys picked
Love may be moving up or was that it in the run for QB for awhile?
#12 and #14 might be QBs… then long wait
I want that trade for Simmons to happen!
Fist time in 20 years I have accurately picked the first 6 picks in the mock we do at work. Need Derrick Brown to Carolina. Come on Panthers!
7/7. Glad he didn’t fall to SF.
You da man
Sweet. Coworkers gonna be mind-blown!
I think the run may end here because I had Meckhi Becton to Arizona before his drug test.
I sometimes feel that injuries at College level get overstated. At young 20’s these men can recover very quickly. I get that there is always a risk. But from recent memory…. Jaylon Smith/Myles Jack who we’re huge injury risks have taken the league by storm. I struggle to think of an ‘injury’ plagued player to be taken and actually not be healthy. Thoughts??
Simmons still there….. Trade up Seattle!!! A fan can dream!
Yes. My adopted hometown team picked wisely!!!
Not a whole lot of obvious trade scenarios left if JAX goes with Love
Ceedee Lamb, Simmons, or an OT for ‘Zona?
I think CJ Henderson might go to the Jags.
Please not Simmons
He’s their type.
Crap. Good pick
I thought Becton before the drug test thing.
At what point do Hawks consider trading up to get Isaiah Simmons?
Pick 27 and their 2x second picks. Go get him!
I doubt he will fall far enough to have it be a serious consideration.
He would probably have to fall out of top 15. It is so expensive to trade up.
Crap not only does the trade up not happen we go against him twice a year
Exactly
Simmons, Bucannon, Reddick. They have a type.
Yup
Starting to feel really uneasy about who the Cards and 49ers get, I do not want to see Simmons in division games.
ill be drinking vodka soon
Noooooo
God dammit…Simmons to the Cards.
If we do our usual first round nonsense…gonna race towards 3rd in the NFC West real quick.
Such a smart move…wait til R2 to get OL – man, this division is so damn tough.
If high draft picks were all it takes to win a division, then teams like ARI and CLE would be winning Super Bowls. Not saying I’m happy about facing Simmons twice a year, but it’s a team sport.
Take away our QB and look at the rosters in our division. We have to nail this draft because ours is t very good.
Nonsense. Can you come down off hyperbole mountain for a few hours… the doom and gloom schtick is old.
No doubt we need to replenish the roster. But just because ARI lands a phenomenal defensive prospect doesn’t mean they’re gonna leapfrog to the top of the division.
Interesting, 8 picks in and no trades.
Bummer they’ll play against Simmons, but, really glad Derek Brown is not going to be in the NFC West… One Aaron Donald is enough.
Jets and Browns doing back flips as tackles fall. What now for Jax? Kinlaw?
Henderson?
Damn the Cards! They are gonna be a tough out for years to come.
We’ve got to see Simmons two times a season. Ouch
Cards got Simmons…S#&!
No mother&&&@$
NFC West just got a bit tougher
Cardinals always pick my favorite guys. Gotta stop having favorites.
Crap! Needed Becton there to the Cards.
Damn… Cards
The rest of the west always drafts so well… F%#$
well dammit – – things falling into place pretty nicely for the Cards. They’re like the anti-Rams right now.
Seeing Simmons go to them felt like a fantasy draft where you know the guy ahead of you is gonna take the player you’re hoping they don’t . . .
It’s inevitable. Fall in love with a prospect, watch an NFC rival pick them.
NFCW is the Warhammer 40k of divisions
In the grim dark division of the future, there are only top-10 pick defenders.
Physically ill. Was hoping Simmons left the board sooner. Can’t stand that they got this guy.
Only 1 OL has gone, which is a bit surprising.
Should be a run soon….. real soon
and on WRs
Can’t let 49ers have their pick of WR’s at 13….
Tristan Wirfs (G, Iowa)
Jedrick Wills (G, Alabama)
Mekhi Becton (T, Louisville)
All still available….
Gotta be Wirfs to TB here, right? Most explosive lineman by far, to protect Brady?
Hey, our first trade! Jags pick is in.
Jags always had 9
You’re right, I’m a derp.
Simmons the best house so far in my living room power ranking, with Tua right underneath.
+1
You should do a top 32 for living room power rankings
Wonder if the lack of trades is from everyone trying to trade down and not getting good value? Or lack of info causing teams to just play safer and get their guy?
Reply fail
Wait, Rob, who is reading whom? Or are you two on conference call…?
Here’s the thing with Simmons. He’s gonna have to settle on 1 position before you cash in on his versatility or you’ll end up with a Bucannon or Reddick. 1-2 year wonders.
I disagree. He did that his entire college career. Buchanon and Redding did not. There are a lot of snaps of him doing it all at the highest level.
He was a rover at Clemson. He got to roam free. The NFL is much more structured and disciplined. Won’t happen.
That’s way oversimplifying what he did. But to each his own.
That’s exactly what he did though. He’s not a plug and play guy.
You are acting as if they just put him on the field and said “do whatever you want.” Not how it works. And sure, he is not a plug and play – but you don’t draft Simmons as a traditional plug and play guy. That’s like buying a Swiss Army knife to only use it as a bottle opener. If that’s what you want, but a bottle opener.
That’s my point. Your gonna ask him to play all those different positions year 1 ?!? In the NFL?!? In the SEC of the NFL?
“Isaiah, shut down George Kittle.”
“Isaiah, spy Russell Wilson.”
“Isaiah, destroy McVay’s her sweep.”
That’s 6 critical games for him to be a total weapon.
He’s not covering Kittle. Have you seen his movement skills in coverage? He’s a jack of all trades, master of none. What will he hang his hat on?
Volume12 – then I guess you should be pumped they made a terrible pick of an overrated player. No harm, no foul.
He didnt have a complicated job Idk what ur point is?
That role doesnt exist in most base schemes
There is no reason to over complicate things for a player who is 6’4” 240 and runs a 4.39. His job will be to eliminate TEs, pass catching RBs, and mobile QBs. In today’s NFL – that is crazy value to have 1 player fill that role.
2nd coming of the honey badger. I think they’ll figure out how to use him, unfortunately.
Cards were either getting brown or Simmons. We were screwed any way. Id rather keep the elite DT outta the division.
Good point, but they have had similar types previously, probably better off not dealing with Brown up the middle for ten years.
There it is.
Close Rob
#14 Jacksonville — C.J. Henderson (CB, Florida)
Right guy, wrong pick in 1st… I call it a wash!
His Dad looks like he could still play
Pauline: With Derrick Brown off the board, the Cardinals take the next best defender in Isaiah Simmons. He’s a sensational athlete that impacts as a pass rusher while also possessing the skills to drop 25 yards downfield in coverage. He can do a lot of things, but Arizona best develop a system and position for him as Simmons is not a plug and play defender.
Who is the first WR off the board?
Ruggs to Vegas imo
Jeudy to Raiders
Then Lamb or Ruggs to San Fran. They might even be able to pull off a small trade down and still get one.
I’m thinking Wirf to Browns, then Ruggs to the Jets.
Good pick imo. Bring some nasty to the OL.
If I were the Jets, I take the Tackle now and look for a WR later.
Tampa can get one of these tackles now without having to move up.
Joe Burrows nickname….. Tiger King
LOL
Joe Exotic…lol
WRs and OL are going to start flying off the board
Is it me or was Henderson bummed out?
He didn’t look very happy
Haha! The whole family looked pissed!
Huh. Wills, and introduced as a tackle.
I don’t see Wills as a pro LT but who am I?
49ers gonna get Ruggs, huh?
Ceedee? We shall see
I’m wondering if they might prefer Lamb. More of a security blanket and not sure Jimmy G is gonna use Ruggs’ deep speed to the max anyways?
Rob is 8/10 top 10 picks in selected in draft….. rock on
He’s a stud. That’s why. I hope he/we are right about the Seahawks pick!
Need these receivers start coming off
Are the Jets going to be the first WTF Pick of the night?
They are the Jets for a reason
If someone doesn’t beat them to it, we can always trust the Hawks to have a WTF pick with their first choice.
Wonder if the lack of trades is from everyone trying to trade down and not getting good value? Or lack of info causing teams to just play safer and get their guy?
Or they just like the guys in the top ten and weren’t getting the comp they wanted
I’m dying for a juicy trade. Come on Atlanta, you know you want it
I wonder if a team is willing to make a trade.
I’m glad the NFL realized Jeudy wasn’t a top 5 or 7 guy.
Wonder if they think they might still have a chance to get him at #20
OL refurbishment completed.
Play the dude at RT…. blow people out.
Damn his mom and dad are large people as well.
I suppose finding out if Fant can be a long term LT will have to wait
My guess would be Becton plays RT.
Becton’s dad is a MASSIVE dude!
He might be 6’2, but pushing 400
That little kid on the couch next to him looked like a bug!
Did not expected Wirfs to still be available. Outrageously explosive.
The better OL went earlier. Imo
Tampa probably takes Wirfs or trades down
They might target Jonathan Taylor.
I could see it after a small trade down for sure. The Bucs fan in me would be pumped!
Come on Raiders, pick a WR.. you know you want to…CD Lamb
If the Raiders don’t take Ruggs, Al Davis will be rolling over in his grave.
good call
He is the one true game changer and should be the pick.
Was always WR1 once DeVonta Smith returned to school.
2 WRs coming off now
Becton and fam so big they look like they’re living in a dollhouse.
I know I shouldn’t be critical, but geez Goodell turning to the TV screen to give the fans a rev up is embarassing.
Certainly doesn’t have to keep doing it.
Ruggs feels like an old Al Davis pick..speed baby.
Underrated comment 😀
Thank God Ruggs is not in SF
+1
Who they takin’ then? Juedy? Lamb?
One of the two. I’ll go Lamb.
Lamb or trade down.
Neither of those guys scare me. My guess is Wirfs.
Trade?
Awesome pick for the Raiders. He is going to be a star.
Hoping SF goes WR here and doesn’t snap up Kinlaw
I don’t want them to trade down and take Taylor. That would be scary.
Oh, goodness. Please no Kinlaw…
What a nightmare lol, Simmons and Kinlaw twice a year
49ers taking WR or Wirfs?
First trade coming with the Niners???
naw, WR
Ruggs on that offense is going to be KILLER. That OL with Ruggs, Waller, Renfrow, Jacobs and the plethora of TEs they have… Carr has everything he needs.
But is Carr the guy? I feel bad saying this, I went to the same small High school as him but it is a valid question.
Hes like a Flacco or Eli. He can win it with the right pieces around him. Better than Jimmy G lmao
That is a fair assessment.
Javon, Ceedee, or Jeudy here?
Jeudy seems the most Sanders-like. That would be my guess.
ditto
I thought LVR were going to draft Jeudy but I’m not surprised it’s Ruggs. I would’ve been surprised if they’d taken Lamb.
New draft clue: Jumanji- Kevin Hart bullies the Rock
https://twitter.com/PeteCarroll/status/1253500121498578945
Could that be CEH?
TRADE!
one spot? for real?
Block another trade.
Seems like something Bruce A. would do to just piss off people. Surprised he doesn’t have a cigar
SF was probably talking with other teams about Wirfs and TB got caught up in the auction
Ahh, fair enough.
Raiders gonna raider. At least he has other skills
Wirfs. Has to be.
Wirfs
Anyone who knows the draft chart have an idea what TB would give up to move up one spot?
probably a fourth round pick.
Around a mid Round 3 pick
By the chart, late R4-early R5.
But they might have had to do it to fend off offers from other teams.
thnx guys. i was thinking 4th
Jeudy or Lamb to Denver?
1st six pack down 😛
bad ass
Lol I got 3 tallies in and God hungry. Now I’m full of dominos and cant drink anymore 😂😅😭
Just got home from work (so so so blessed to be back)
Catching up quick
“kids, get off the fuc*ing I Pads on my wi-fi, you taking down my systems” ~ Bucs GM
🙂
Imagine missing the pick because some kid was downloading a Fortnite patch
Using all muh bandwidth!
What if SF went Ezra Cleveland? Kinda reminds me of Joe Staley.
Probably a WR.
Anything but Kinlaw…
Ummm… yeah…. about that.
They going to try to trade down again, need more 3/4 picks
So an early R4 to SF to move down 1 spot.
Well worth it. Wirfs would have been gone if they didnt do it.
can’t believe it from TB’s perspective. highly doubt SF was going Wirfs anyway
Someone else wouldve traded up.
Somebody was.
OK that makes sense
SF basically got a free pick and didn’t have to risk their target
Them Wirfs highlights….. LOL…. at guys he blocked
Jumping out of the swimming pool was impressive!
Trey Wingo: Bruce is fired up!
Bruce Arians: gives a golf clap and fist pump
🙄
At the beginning, Kevin Hart says, “you got me kicked off the team”.
Who could that be?
Referring to the new draft clue: Jumanji- Kevin Hart bullies the Rock
https://twitter.com/PeteCarroll/status/1253500121498578945
I originally thought CEH.
I feel like we were all just talking about someone who was.
Kenny Robinson?
Madre Harper was a a sooner with Carson and Flowers
Small guy Bullies Big guy
Ohhh ummm Dude from Southern Illinois.
Was Greenard? Or did he transfer from L’ville?
Kenny Robinson, XFL/WV?
Looks like the trading up is down for now. Nobody trading up for Jeudy or Lamb in this class and too early for RBs. Too early for the DL. Makes sense. Next trade up is probably for QB, DL or RB. Wildcard CB.
trade up for love?
Probably the next one yeah
DOHHHH
God dammit.
John Lynch is one helluva GM
Killing it.
crap
Groan
JFC SF always with the DL
Also was hoping he’d slip far enough to make a trade up possible, even if still improbable.
Can’t argue with the decision to take him early and tap into the depth of this WR class at 31.
Knew it.
Shiiiiit
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
There you have it. First surprise of the evening. Looks like SF is comfortable with WR choices at the end of the first
That really sucks Arizona gets Simmons and now SF gets Kinlaw. NFC West is stacked.
Damn daddy Kinlaw is a big dude!
49ers got Kinlaw…overrated!
Wut… Kinlaw is a stud!!!
Not
He’s big hurt, falling like that.
Carolina didnt take him? Something’s wrong
Jax* I mix them up a lot
I’ll own it: Thought he would fall.
Maybe we need Ruiz now with the Niners stacking the deck again
He won’t get past Jerrah! at 17
imagine they know they can still get a good WR later (31 or round 2 if they trade down) considering the depth at the position. smart move
Clever AF
Living Room Top 5 so far:
1. Simmons
2. Kinlaw
3. Tua
4. Jeudy
5. Becton
Well, let’s hope at least the Rams botch their draft…
Are they even a part of this years draft?
Barely…
Rams got nothing to botch this year, just saying.
Trade Buckner and get Kinlaw there. They know there’s no DL at 31 that will be worth it but there will be great WRs there. Smart move once again.
Excellent draft management
I give Lynch a lot of credit. He’s proven himself as a premier GM.
9ers got a brand new Buckner with 20 millions saving, why can’t we do that instead of stockpiling S?
Straight up, with the same pick (after 1 spot trade down) they got from IND for Buckner. Save a ton of cap space and replace a pro bowl caliber DL with the same for free.
That’s some nice GMing boys [Chief Wiggum’s voice]
We need a stout center
I hate how happy John Lynch looks right now.
Well….Seattle was stoked about drafting Mcdowell….look how that one turned out..
So…maybe it makes sense, in a year with crap EDGE prospects, for Seattle to load up on offense–OL, RB, WR–and ride Wilson?! Im not happy about that, but adaptability is key….
Rob, how serious/of what nature were the concerns you heard about on Kinlaw?
It looks to me like they were valid. An inexperienced GM desperate to stay relevant after an embarrassing bed shitting in the super bowl
Rapoport said it was his knees:
Nailed it
#15 Denver — Jerry Jeudy (WR, Alabama)
Ball Skills
Oh girl, you don’t need to show that much skin… no really
Wow, this is working out almost exactly how my NFL.com draft mock draft predictions. This is definitely the closest I’ve ever gotten and usually do really well. I missed on Tua, and Becton but that’s because those the Dolphins and Jets are kinda brain dead lol.
I had the first seven right.
It’s a testament to Rob’s content and the opinions from the commentors here
Congratulations.
Come on Hawks. Trade up and get about the last blue chip difference maker in the first round, CeeDee Lamb.
Please not
They won;t do it, but please yes.
What does Atlanta do? EDGE? DB?
CB imo
Terrell?
Yikes I was right.
No wonder they wanted to move
WOW, Rob! You’ve REALLY nailed the draft order! (as of pick 15)
Awesome analysis!
10/15 guys picked or so…. pretty much in order
Kinlaw will be a problem, but i’m glad the 49ers went defense. Their DL is still downgraded over last season and we know Jimmy G is the weak link, hope they pick a bust at WR later, I hear they can be had in the 4th round.
i just wish they didn’t fleece a 4th of the Bucs
This. It’s a lateral move that freed up some cap space for SF. He’s a replacement for a proven commodity, so as good as Kinlaw is, it’s not necessarily an upgrade over Buckner.
Kinlaw at rookie contract so much an upgrade over Deforest Buckner. 2 of my favorite players going to NFC West with Simmons to Arizona and Kinlaw to San Fran. Sad day so far. Hope the Hawks add a player near as talented – Taylor or CEH – would act as salve for the hurt I feel.
Huh… did anyone else catch the ESPN commentator (I missed his name) basically repeating Rob’s take on Simmons and Kinlaw nearly verbatim?
Cowpukes gonna take Ruiz cuz Frederick retired
Been expecting the same, though hoping for something stupid like Chaisson.
ditto
OK I literally LOL’d
This is a good one to be sure
Here for it. Dude deserves to be picked off til he out of the league
kek
You play WoW?
Jameis and watch or see in the same sentence is an oxymoron. We all know he’s blind as a bat.
D minus
Thats over a half round early
Yeah, that one is gross.
Dont dislike the player. That’s just not where he shouldve gone. What’s even happening w Dimitroff?
Fulton and Diggs there would’ve felt the same though.
We’re now seeing a big time drop to the 2nd tier of defensive talent now.
Goodell: HeRe’S yOuR tEaM, durr-durr. F**kn’ goof.
Comment of the year!
1st reach pick?
I must admit, there’s something emotionally painful as a Seahawk’s fan always picking so late becasue of our success. Just watching so many of these players/talents that I love come off the board.
I’ll drink more…that’s it.
What’s more Seahawks than making you sweat it til the end?
It takes patience with the Hawk’s drafts. And Jameson.
Jerry Jones wife going full Melania on him there
That was his daughter…
Oops. It’s like this when I stand up for pregnant ladies on the bus
Dang, bad choice by the Falcons
K’lavon to Cowboys?
CeeDee?
Ruiz or bust
Oh yeah that is the TF replacement
You take Lamb just so Eagles dont
Yooooooo its yaaboi
Seattle might have trouble trading back (?)
need to hope love stays on the board
You’ll find out in 2 short hours.
i’m starting to worry too, as long as Taylor and Wilson are still there, not the end of the world but…
Just a reminder…
If this pick is not Grant Deloitte Rob Staton is swimming the English Channel!
video or it didnt happen
I’ve got my trunks out ready…
Don’t the Euros tend towards the speedo?!
I’m willing to give it a go
Well stay safe, and stay warm!
c’mon jerry make a bad pick!
That Jerry Jones set up doh…LMAO!!!
I forgot McCarthy was the HC of DAL. Mediocrity forever
Don’t sleep on the Boys
Yoooo. Who was that sitting next to Lamb? 😍😍
My god!
Dimitroff with the hipster pick
In the Jumanji clip, Kevin Hart describes the Rock as “6-4/6-5, 270 pounds of pure muscle”.
Anyone that size kicked off their team…?
Maybe it’s a JUCO transfer?
Idk about kicked off the team but sounds like A.J. Epenesa
What is Jerry Jones sitting in? A spaceship?
He’s been in orbit for decades now. The guy at the stadium is a body double.
good job jerruh
No…Cowboys get best pass receiver in the draft…I must drink more…
And because of Mike McCarthy, it’s not going to do a whole lot of good
Hahaha!
Cowboys got multiple weapons now. There’s no excuse now.
Either my stream is slow or people are starting to tip the picks…
Meh. It’s gonna take a lot more than that to get me scared about the Cowboys.
Ditto Tampa Brady
Jerry put Mike McCarthy in a fish bowl.
The 49ers pick is a bit depressing. Their defensive line was what got them to the Super Bowl last year, and our defensive line is what kept us from the Super Bowl last year. I have a sinking feeling that these are the same issues that will define this upcoming season (assuming there is a season).
Took the words right out of my mouth… Just depressing knowing the guantlet of defenses we have to run in NFC West. Don’t mind then not getting Jeudy, Ruggs, or Lamb though
Another weapon for Dax after they fixed their D the last few years. Thought it might be Cesar here.
Can they fix Dak though?
A lot of beautiful woman in these living rooms haha!!
I want that chick sittong next to Lamb to cut me open with a rusty tuna can lid.
WTF??!!!
I’m talking real Sicko mode here.
SSSKKKKRRRAT
You can have the lid if I can have the tuna…
hahaha I second that
LOL and I don’t know why.
Isaiah Wilson
Ceasar Ruiz
Jonathan Taylor
CEH
Some legit options for #27 IMO
Miami might be the last obstacle for a chance at Taylor, can’t see NO or MIN taking him
Really surprised they didn’t go for Cesar Ruiz.
Right?!?
Same. I would have put big money on it (good thing I didn’t).
This pick strikes me as Dez-y.
Everyone getting stronger sigh
Okay…all my wet dreams are gone…how about something exciting or very efficient Hawks…Ruiz, Wilson, Reagor, Taylor, or…?
Need D, need a C, have Cooper, Think it was a poor choice
It was BPA and now the Eagles can’t take him
We know the Eagles love tall, slow receivers.
Tee???
They like Alshon Jeffrey and Desean Jackson and Riley Cooper
You got Cooper and Gallup.. why? I dont like it but I don’t like the Cowboys so I guess I do like it
But it would be ok for us to go wr in R2 even though we have DK and No-E?
Yeah, round 2 isnt top 17.
So?
Tweet from David Newton about the Panthers picking Brown over Simmons: “The Panthers liked Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons a lot at No. 7 and he was the best pure athlete on the board, but they felt he was a better fit for a veteran team because of his ability to play so many positions. So they went with Auburn DT Derrick Brown.”
Not a great start for the new-look, data driven Panthers lol
It was a great pick I loved it. Great fit. Great player. Build from the bottom.
Isaiah Simmons running around putting out fires isnt going to win now
What a tweet…. https://twitter.com/JosinaAnderson/status/1253505538677235713
Goodness me.
Typically quality content. Where would be without her?
Rob does a better job form UK than she does here 😉
she’s busy shopping for an even more skin tight dress
Let’s go easy on her, yo. I dont like how she does her job but I don’t hate her for her outfit fam.
Breaking brains over here.
Lol, dont hate–appreciate! Its the new world Twitterverse!
Not sure I’d let everyone know I asked that question
she’d have to have some self awareness
Dolores has it…maybe Bernard..
This is a quality reply to her tweet… https://twitter.com/KSigKid/status/1253507002657013764
What do this means Rob
“What do this means????????” I’m literally crying!
https://twitter.com/i/status/1253073033264160768
Not sure if this works but….. we are getting closer… to a trade 😉
Isaiah Wilson could go here if MIA wants to protect Tua
Very solid pick
Ah, Forgot about Jackson
I’ve had the draft value chart up since pick #1, barely used it… : /
So OT here. Cleveland?
Miami…risky pick with Tua, but if his health plays out…nice follow up pick.
Man fuck Goodell. Excuse my language but for real
Please don’t swear
Yeah that was unprofessional, worst commissioner in the business. This years class is lucky they don’t have to shake his hand when drafted.
Goodell butchered that
Phew, Wilson and Cleveland still on the board.
BIG!
I’m nominating Jackson for the least impressive living room so far
Smart moves by MIA. Drafting for the future. Tua and Jackson can sit for a year as needed.
3rd Dolphins pick has to be skill position pick
Taylor.
SDB gang, so how are things so far for hawks?
Pretty good so far. But it’s early.
I’d say very good, personally. I think we have to trade down.
Cant believe Delpit is still available. He must have some real question marks
thanks Rob, I want Taylor so badly hope you are right.
PCJS already identified their guy. The big question is all about who is left on the board that another team might covet enough for a trade
Rog switched to a black sweater for the Raiders pick
:0
Vegas takin a gamble
Woah, he was listed at #90 on big board
Big reach
Thank you Roger, I needed a laugh.
He realized it when he looked down at the card and “with the 19th pick in the…20…20…draft…”
That was the best part 😀
lol wut
Al Davis strikes from the grave
He has the talent for sure. Classic Gruden pick. He’ll get the most out of him. I dig it.
Woah! Arnette at 19?
Arnette was my CB2 behind Okudah.
Nice to see Kiper marginalized
“Las Vegas will host the 20 20 draft”. Good Lord Rog, too early to be drinking since you’re on TV
To be fair, it is tough doing live TV… so I’ll give him a pass on that one.
He hasn’t slaughtered too many player names yet.
Thought it was me, looked at my sundial, messed with the abacus, was just lost. So they get a 2021 mulligan on this?
i even rewound it to make sure i heard it right
Wrong place…
Okay…all my wet dreams are gone…how about something exciting or very efficient Hawks…Ruiz, Wilson, Reagor, Taylor, or…?
Would be thrilled to stay at 27 if it meant Wilson or Reagor.
Arnette seems like a huge reach.
But hey, more of our guys still available
Hes gonna be the #1 slot corner in the NFL soon.
It would not be a proper 1st round until Walterfootball hands out his fist O’BRIEN grade:
Las Vegas Raiders: Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio State – O’BRIEN Grade
Ladies and gentlemen, our first O’Brien grade of the night! Damon Arnette is someone I had in the first round of my mock draft in some updates – at No. 32 to Kansas City. Otherwise, he’s been marooned in the second frame. Arnette is certainly talented, but he has off-the-field issues. Given that Mike Mayock values high-character guys, this is a very strange pick that makes no sense outside of need. This is an “F” grade all the way.
he has off-the-field issue
CLASSIC RAIDERS PICK!
This draft is playing perfectly for the Seahawks to trade down. Only 1 name off Rob’s board of 15 names with 7 picks left. Oh Boy!
JT, CR, CEH are the only first rounders on the horizontal board left
and Wilson
Four of Rob’s RD 1 talents from his Big Board still available: Ruiz, I. Wilson, and the two RB (Taylor and CEH).
Should be at least one available. Will be interesting to see what they do.
I still suspect a trade down out of the first. And, with all the mocks we all practiced, I tend to think it would be the right move.
On a side note…it’s just unbelievable as much as I know why…how diminished the RB position is in today’s NFL.
Gotta replace Ngakoue .
Hopefully Jordan Love lasts until the Seahawks picks which should give us greater leverage in a trade down scenario.
agree but watch out for NE
“We’ll just sign Jameis or Cam unless you take a lowball”
Entering the danger-zone for RBs being selected.
Chaisson makes round one after all. Betting on potential.
Exactly. Has too much of it at a premium position to fall.
Yaaaaawwwwwn pick
Any worries about the Seahawks chances of moving down considering the lack of trades thus far?
Yes, could be harder.
Glad some team feel for Chaisson early, pushing more (and better) prospects down.
fell*
Chaisson’s got a Top 3 house. Might be the best next to Simmons.
SoCal very on brand
Copy that
Best looking women
Pre-planning for shipping out YN before the 2020 season starts?
True dat…
They have too, YN has been very public about this. I just wonder if a deal is already in place for tomorrow.
Gotta be a receiver here
Looked like Jefferson due to his reaction
He did look pretty excited
Or not. Lol
Mims to Philly?
So NE can take a shot at Love?
possible. i suggested as much above
No Love for Love
I have given up trying to predict NE picks. Sith Lords do not follow the same rules as the rest of us.
Jefferson, Mims here
Maybe Reagor
There was a report they’d take Raegor
They also met with Mims 5 times in one week
3rd guy
Problem with national outlets (and team sites like this) is they make one vertical board.
If you want to win the mock draft you have to make 64 boards. Very and horizontal for every team
Sorry should have said “most fan sites”
BAM!
I’m killing it this year. I feel so prepared. Thanks to all of you and Rob
Bullet dodged, one of the players i hoped we would avoid, like Gay, Chinn, Duggar later. Now someone else please take Gross My Toast.
I was thinking almost exactly the same thing
Is Reagor gone here?
good call
DAMMIT! That was my guy. Oh well 😀
I think ESPN already tipped it :/
I was wrong. They showed a shot of Jefferson on the phone and thought it was him
brock is furious that chaisson is off the board.
Yup. Gone. As thought.
That’s a very good fit. They needed that type of deep threat. Desperate for it actually.
concur
Good! Huge LSU fan here. Was not a fan of Chaisson.
Please do share your thoughts if you want
So far NFC doing very well in draft. Hreat pick for Philly
I’m watching the ESPN feed and did I just hear someone say Chaisson is the 2nd best edge in this draft?
yep 😀
I think it’s Okwara. NFL blood. Numbers are great. No measurables tho
I think it was Michael Irvin who said that.
Outside of Wilson, Ruiz, Taylor, Cleveland…someone I’m forgetting…it might be trade down as expected….
Pretty sure it’s happening regardless
There goes my WR crush.
mine too 🙁
Watch MIN select Diggs… lol
💀 💀 💀 💀
Its justin Jefferson eh?
I guess they could look at MIms
You get this feeling we are making our pick at 27.
Yeah, very little trades. If Love is there we may get a taker. Hard to say.
Nope. Trade coming
Ohh…I forgot about Jefferson…do you have to take him if he’s there???
Ruiz or one of the RBs or Wilson gonna be there for Seattle. Do they pull the trigger?
Nah
i dont think so either but very likely at least one of them is still there……
Cant believe the league doesnt want Delpit
You think that they are still trading down?
IMO, don’t panic and trade down if you can.
NE moving down. No Love
Are the Patriots going to trade with the Chargers?
Why?
Maybe Ezra for the Chargers? Have no idea just guessing t.
Oh no its a f***** rb huh please be swift or CEH
They need a LT
For Love?
They took Herbert you donkey
Oh, that’s right.
🙂
Yes they will. And no they shouldn’t. Too much talent on the board to not trade down. You gotta get more picks if possible. You can still get great players in the early 2nd and grab a 4th or 5th.
where that info from?
gotta say.
I’m really enjoying this draft. Less spectacle, more focus on football so far. Liking the look into players homes. Less dress up and guys trying to brand during draft. Plus less bs from media, green room crap and random fan crap. Just football and pick talk.
concur
100%
Has a nice flow to it
Agreed.
really starting to worry about trading back, John is the man, but it takes two..Taylor at 27 is still there, Wilson, Ruiz too but if they are not I feel we would lose a lot of value if we had to pick.
Don’t worry, be happy.
Did anyone else see that one coming before they could type it?
Ugh NE trades back to chargers
Still no RB off the board, wonder which team will be the first to take a RB?
Chargers taking someone NO wanted… CEH?
Do the Bolts take one here?
Cleveland Niang and Jones lookin nice in this range if I’m LAC
They needed something bad.
Nice call on Jefferson, Kenny.
Thanks im having a really good year thanks to everyone’s hard work esp Rob and you. And Vol of course 💚💙
Roger’s awkwardness makes this feel like an Eric Andre skit
😂😂 deada**
Okay…what sexy late first round picks are left for us?
Ruiz, CEH, Taylor, Wilson
Hunt 😉
Hope Seattle able to get good value if able to trade back
So if Love goes here, we’re running out of trade bait by the time we get to 27, or we can make a trade at 27, but not far enough back for value compensation if it means sacrificing our (PCJS) #1 target
Dang, that’s exactly the kind of trade we want. Let’s see.
Yeah but we wouldn’t have got #71. More closer to 90. But exactly right. That’s what we want.
Time for JS to work some magics
That is exactly the one we wanted.
wow the chargers really wanted pick 23. NE SCORED
Saints were definitely about to draft K****** M*****
Damn Patriots make the trade we were looking for.
Murray?
Chargers grabbing Murray or Queen here?
Ooohh. Man the Bolts have themselves some kind of defense.
Got a great price to move up 14 spots too. Only a third? Wow.
People acting like LA got fleeced? What did you think it would take to move up a half round
It was a bargain!
Yeah I’d be slightly disappointed in only getting two picks.
And we’ve seen what Gus Bradley has done for BWagz and Myles Jack’s career. That might be my favorite pick so far.
What trade chart?
Yeah doesn’t look good for the Hawks value of trading down if someone good is at 27 take em
Got it. Lucked out.
Feeling pretty good about my house at least lol
🙂
Just for a laugh, If I were a 1st round prospect, I would have made a pillow fort with a NO GIRLS ALLOWED sign on the front and just hung out 😀
2 RBs in the next 3 picks… I feel it
No jynxing bro.
Nice pick by LAC. Murray is the best traditional LB in the draft. Simmons is a hybrid.
Now guaranteed that one of CEH, Taylor, Ruiz or Wilson will be there at #27
Won’t matter
need them to keep falling
Or Aiyuk
Or Mims
I know it’s over-used in today’s culture, but CRINGE…

For some reason I DESPERATELY NEED a pair of Bose headphones hmmmm
we all know RWis a dork but remember his heart is in the right place
Popcorn sounds good though
As overrated as Chaisson is thats how underrated Okwara is
:O
That is a strong take
As a Hawk’s fan, I’m feeling severely left out and behind. Again. Maybe we have to take a RB just to make a talent splash. Or Ruiz or Wilson.
It’s day two again for us, though I’m starting to think we will select tonight.
Can’t get emotional, need to be smart.
Easy for you to say. 🙂
WOO!!
Fells like CEH to Saints here….. some queasy feeling
Would make a ton of sense to keep him in state and hedge for Kamara.
let’s trade down, need more picks and one of them’ gotta be the Canadian Bulldozer.
Kenny don’t tip the pick. 😉
OOOOF I WOULDNT HAVE
Quite shocked at the Saints pick.
Not a weapon?
An Absolute Weapon!!!
Absolute unit!
Are the Colts interested in moving up for Love or will they go all-in with Rivers? Or just wait and see at #34 & #44?
Kudos to ESPN for their story on Kenneth Murray and his adopted siblings. Very cool piece. I’m now a fan of his.
Same here. I have 2 adopted boys. That is encouraging.
Miami might be the last obstacle for a chance at Taylor, can’t see NO or MIN taking him
Agree..
No cow tipping, draft tipping, or any other kind of tipping.
wait a minute, no one said cow tipping wasnt allowed
i’m starting to get anxious!
DaVon Hamilton might sneak in to first round at this rate.. or Hunt
Still rooting for that trade back to 35 to gain 85 with Detroit.
Yep or Indy
Or GB AND Indy or Det.
Let’s get Miami on the phone: 27 for 39 and 70.
If Miami wants a RB, they might take one at 26. Otherwise, we may just need to get in front of their pick in R2 to get our choice of RB
Ruiz gone. Getting that musical chairs feeling in a big way now.
Why are you tipping the picks?
Surprise but strong pick for NO
Very strong
damn ruiz gone
Fuck!!! Saints get a center for the next decade, after getting Unger from us!! Fuck!!!
❤️️ Ruiz
Big props to Rob about Ruiz.
Certainly a potential SEA target, but if one of those targets had to go first, this is the least damaging.
someone has to be looking at love or a OT, trade back looking better
