Official 2020 Draft Thread - Day 3 - NO SPOILERS!!!

[YoHoChecko]

What about Carter Coughlin at ILB? Why didn't I really like him? Was it just because he is a Gopher?

EDGE conversion, but I don't see the huge value gap between, say, Baun and Coughlin.

OOOHHHHH

A 5 this year and a 3rd next year for a fairly sideways move. I guess they will get more years from Williams, but gunna cost them too.

9ers like tossing those picks around.

Maybe not on the more years. Report is that he'll be playing on his existing contract. Guessing he wants chance at Super Bowl and to hit free agency.

They didn't mind wasting a 3 and a 4 for a 3 month rental for Emmanual Sanders.

Definitely keeps them afloat for a year, and they would likely get a comp pick for him, but that is pricy.

Colts take Eason.

Good for them! I hope he gets to spend an adequate amount of time on the bench. I really like his prospects but he needs time, too.

Man the colts have had another seemingly impressive draft. Eason is interesting, as i was living in Georgia then, when he came to UGA he was hyped like the next Stafford. He was the top recruit and supposed to be an auto top draft pick. Things certainly changed for him through his career, but he still has the tools to be a stud. I love this pickup for the Colts.

[YoHoChecko]

I still like a LOT of players.

I think this will be one of the all-time "I love who we got, and hate who we didn't get" draft reactions for me

That's what it was! Thank you. I like Coughlin or Toohill for Edge converts.

You gotta watch the Tennessee game from his freshman year. I was SOLD this guy is going to be The Next Big Thing. Then the injury happened and Fromm kept winning so he kept the job, so he transferred.

[go pak go]

I like Bravvion Roy still for a 6th or 7th; 2-gapper with a good first step

Yeah I like him a lot too. And 2 gapper is who I want. There aren't many of them. I also like that Michigan State kid.

[go pak go]

Danget. I really like Anthony McFarland as our "Jones type"

I totally get what they are doing. There is a fundamental disconnect between what MLF and Gute have identified is The Problem™ and what fans have. What fans miss is the vision, what they feel like it should look like. Fans instead alway seek to get back to What Worked™. Coaches can get in that rut too eventaly, especiallly once they achieve that vision; the last 5 years MM was really stuck in that. MLF's understanding of what works offensively is not the 2011 Packers.

The vision includes a whole lot more running and play action than GB has been used to, and a whole lot less spread passing. Mac's offense could go with total scrubs at RB and virtually no production from backs. MLF wants to run you over and take advantage of the passing opportunities that creates. Is there really a need for heavy investment at the WR position when you already have a star? TE and RB meet the core vision moreso than WR.

Don't worry about value. It doesn't matter if they get the guys they want. Say what you will, but I think Gute and MLF are thrilled with each of their picks, they are clearly picking players they targeted.

I thought this from Waldo was worth posting into the Day 3 thread. I do think we will address WR today but worth remembering this Packers team isn't going to be relying on our WR corps to win games. If we're never really going to have more than 3 on the field WR depth may not quite be the 'need' we have thought it was.

I can't see Brissett there this year.

I would think Rivers will be there for more than 1, two or three is my guess.

You think he'll keep signing 1 year deals? He only signed 1 year with the Colts.

If Indy gets nowhere close to being competitive this year I think they don't resign him and go after a QB next year.

Posted in the wrong thread. Jets take the GB native.

Yup. I watched them all. 4 graduates of UGA in my family so we follow it. Im surprised Eason didnt have a little more success at washington, but i like the kid. He got done raw coming to play for Richt and then he was left out to dry with the coaching change. Very happy Eason can sit and grow in Indy. I think he has lots of potential.

Fromm should have never left UGA early

[YoHoChecko]

Only 7 or 8 more picks until we can start "UGH, we could have had THAT GUY" for 35- 40 picks

UGA grad, myself. Go Dawgs

GPG we are heading into the part of the draft where if we grabbed Juan Jennings I wouldnt cry about it. Ha

Just saying that because i remember our previous discussion about him.

Nice Go Dawgs. I went to Georgia Southern as a student assistant for the LBs coach. So i rep them both.

[YoHoChecko]

How funny would it be if Fromm goes to the Lions, Stafford gets dinged up and Fromm steps in and takes the job and forces Stafford to be traded, continuing the run of 5-star UGA QB recruits being forced to transfer by Fromm

[YoHoChecko]

Vikings get a potential good one in EDGE James Lynch from Baylor

Yep, good fit for them.

Around 150 is when you maybe can hope to see us potentially moving up.
