Verge's Mock Draft and Insight thread 2020

[45catfan]

Simple exercise.  You have player 'A' and player 'B'. Both players are assigned to run to a spot a few yards down field and let's assume they have similar athletic abilities  Player 'A' has 2 obstacles in his way and play 'B' has only one obstacle.  Who would reach the spot first?

So if he commands double teams nearly all the time, still beats his assignments but is understandably is not the first to the QB, somehow this is a knock?  Brown is not a 3-tech.  He frees up the 3-tech to apply the pressure.  I don't understand why this concept is so hard to grasp.

Because most people don't understand what you're talking about. They just know DT can rush the passer while also being fat to stop the run. But they comment on it like they're Mike Ditka.

I'm also highly confused by the "we have to tank to get a high draft  pick" vs "trading back always gets the best results."

My brain hurts.

Verge, 

Are we trying hard to trade back? Or if Simmons/Brown are on the board will we stay put?

Dude he don't know. Man this draft is going to be so wild just wait

Well Marty didn't screw up step one of the draft.  According to reports, the Bengals have already informed Burrow he's their pick.  I knew the rumors about a trade package form #7 to #1 were bogus, but I won't put anything past the Hurndog.

Burrow to Bengals a Done Deal

Wills.  Been at the top of my wish list for a couple weeks now.

Marty does love him some LB's though.

@Verge

has your guy heard potential of the Panthers targeting Lamb?

Because Simmons is gone, or if both available, Brown is who we pick?

If Brown doesn't get taken, I think he is our preference. A trade down would indicate Kinlaw.

Battle of the sources.

 

Verge says trade down for Kinlaw

RR says he's hearing trade down for Lamb or Henderson (in that order)
