Woah you’re the only guy here who watches games? I attend every home game and a few on the road every year.

I think this Oline is good because the 2nd half of the season they looked way better than 22nd and stats back that up. Teams progress throughout the year and there is a QUANTITATIVE EVIDENCE to believe this Oline was top half the league 2nd half the year.

but I already said that and you chose to ignore it so whatever Mr Contrarian.
Lol. Can’t help this , but I dubbed him the “ Prophet of Doom”.

I think its risky to bet on "average" being average next year.

Teams will study up on our offense. They will throw things at Kyler he didnt see last season.

He would benefit from having TIME to process. Average Oline or bottom third Olines are what savvy vet QBs can work around.

Give us Russell Wilson at QB and he'd do wonders with this line. Kyler's not that yet.

I know fans here might rip into Kyler next year if he's not putting up the huge passing #s next year. However, I'd be ok with us being more of a run team, letting Kyler develop confidence gradually and ensure health.

Get him a stud weapon for year 3 when he starts to really figure things out. (Although it would be ideal if one of the wrs we drafted in previous drafts steps up)

His take on Kinlaw and Mims really make me want those two.

One thing I noticed Kinlaw vs Brown, is that Kinlaw looks strong and cut while Brown looks chubby.

Mims might be the dark horse player to take round 2.

Just watch his breakdown of Mims.

If you can find the clips of him blocking in the Senior Bowl, Mims is a monster blocker.

Good chance Mims goes second half of round one. He does everything well with superior athleticism.

The problem with not taking a wide receiver in the first round is that all these guys that you think/hope we can get in the second round may end up being taken at the end of the first round.

Post combine I am

Simmons
Wirfs
Lamb

I believe all three will be elite players.

my "they dont come along every year" kind of players combined with awesome tape:

Okudah
Simmons
Wirfs

these guys have the measurable attributes to be in the above category, but there is a ? on them

Becton
Ruggs

"Safe" picks at #8 -- sounds like a dig, but isnt. These guys have measurables that you see every year, but football IQ, temperament, competitiveness make them excellent players:

Wills
Thomas
Brown
Lamb
Jeudy

NFL DRAFT PREVIEW
ANALYTICS TOP 300 RANKINGS (2020 NFL DRAFT)

Before we get to the rankings, I’ve decided to make the “10 Draft Commandments” after doing all of this research:

1) Understand that all of our prospect rankings suck. Even multi-million dollar GMs are bad.

2) Seriously. Everyone sucks at this. Draft Twitter, anonymous scouts, Belichick. All quite bad!

3) With that out of the way… Try to trade down, unless you’re drafting a quarterback.

4) Adjust for positional value. QB > other positions > RB.

5) Athleticism matters more on defense than it does on offense, especially at EDGE.

6) Younger players are typically better. Adjust college production by age.

7) College production matters more at some positions (QB, RB, WR, EDGE, LB).

8) Counting and market share stats are more important than efficiency stats.

9) TFLs and solo tackles are more predictive than sacks for DT, EDGE, and LB prospects.

10) Players on good college teams are usually better. Small school prospects aren’t discounted.

Great site. If you simply take player ratings and apply them to where we draft it’s amazing. Take Lamb and you will still have a shot at Kinlaw, 3 rb’s , couple of edge rushers and a couple of o-linemen. All depends on which way we want to go.

Mekhi Becton is 20 years old. He’d probably be a top-3 pick next year.

Doug and Wolf were talking about this the other day. A 22 year old OT who is slightly better than a 20 year old, usually isnt, since that 20 year will improve dramatically over the next 2 years.

Fitz was young coming out. David Johnson was 24.

Evan Weaver is a tackling machine. He'd make a fine ILB prospect and is going very under the radar.
