My top 50 players 2020 Draft

[Verge]

Hope this is okay in the main forum, I have been studying a lot of these guys in my free time and feel like I have a pretty good grasp. This is post senior bowl-pre NFL combine I will put a star next to a player that seem like a realistic possibility for the Panthers. 37 players have first round grades from me.

Great post as usual.

I would love to see you break down the top 15 by tiers.  I think the average fan tends to think in a linear order whereas teams group players more in tiers.

For example something like:

Young >>>Brown, Okuda, Kinlaw, Simmons>>Willis, Wirfs, Juedy

Maybe you stay put if a tier 2 guy is still on the board but if not you trade down.

[Captain Morgan]

Pretty sure if Mims is still sitting there in the 3rd our new coach and his old coach won't be able to resist.  I'm cool with that.  We need 3 solid WRs for Brady's offense.  I really hope Brown drops to 7 in the first.  He has a chance to be a special DT.

Also agree that Okudah is ranked 3rd.  I feel he is the least likely bust candidate in this draft (although I know nothing)

 

[run-run-pass-punt]

All I know is that if Brown makes it to 7, we better trip over ourselves because we're excitedly racing to the podium.

 

 

[Untouchable]

There looks like 4 elite prospects in the draft heading into the combine.  Young, Brown, Okudah and Simmons.

[Mr. Scot]

Brown as the second best player in the entire draft?

His game against Oregon was insane and the dude is simply a monster.  Reminded me a bit of when Star w/Utah went ham against USC back in the day.  He is just a relentless machine with that presence on the field.  Apparently was the guy leading the team at Auburn.  It makes sense why.

I admit I've been hoping for an offensive tackle but if the best player available is on the other side, I'm on board with it.

It gets better. Watch FL, LSU, GA, and Bama. I usually hold back on Auburn prospects because I see all the bad too and tend to underrate them. But Brown is as legit as I’ve seen. Reminds me of Mean Joe Greene. 
 

   He sacked Joe Burrow with a RG. Seriously.

Awesome post Verge...appreciated
