The 2019 Draft and Mock Draft thread

[duesouth10]

I've started watching one or two 2020 prospects, so eyes closed here goes with pin the tail on the donkey:

1. A team - Tua Tagovailoa - QB - Alabama (sorry, Oklahoma fans - no Jalen Hurts here for the hat-trick!)

2. A team - Jerry Jeudy - WR - Alabama

3. A team -

4. A team -

5. A team - Derrick Brown - DT - Auburn

6. A team - Isaiah Simmons - LB - Clemson

7. A team - Josh Allen III - a quick google search came up empty, unless there's a Josh Allen from Colorado School of Mines or somewhere who the league can dig up (Colorado School of Mines, dig up... no? I'll get my coat!) and can have a meteoric rise

8. A team - Trevon Diggs - CB - Alabama

9. A team - Grant Delpit - S - LSU

10. A team - Chase Young - DE - Ohio State

11. A team - Jabari Zuniga - DE - Florida (I liked him more than Polite last year)

12. A team -

13. A team - Colby Parkinson - TE - Stanford

14. A team - Andrew Thomas - OT - Georgia (he's one who I'm looking forward to studying in detail in-season. Listed at 320 lbs, but lacks heavy hands but feet are good for a big man. Not what you expect when you see his measureables).

15. A team - Dylan Moses - LB - Alabama

16. A team -Justin Herbert - QB - Oregon (can't wait for the lack of leadership stuff for 6 months before the Draft )

17. A team - A.J. Epenesa - DE - Iowa

18. A team - Albert Okwuegbunam - TE - Missouri

19. A team - Kristian Fulton - CB - LSU

20. A team - Prince Tega Wanogho - T - Auburn (if Tytus Howard can be a first rounder, this kid can)

21. A team - Javon Kinlaw - DT - South Carolina (although I think I like him more than the league, otherwise he would have been in the league already!)

22. A team -

23. A team -

24. A team -

25. A team -

26. A team - Bryce Hall - CB - Virginia

27. A team - Raequan Williams - DT - Michigan State

28. A team -

29. A team -

30. A team - Tyler Biabesz - C - Wisconsin

31. A team - Ben Bredeson - OG - Michigan

32. A team - J.K. Dobbins - RB - Ohio State

Not in 1st: Jake Fromm (QB, Georgia - physical tools are lacking), Calvin Throckmorton (T, Oregon - plays super-short armed), Bryan Edwards (WR, South Carolina - I like him, but he might be too much like a Kelvin Harmon), Trey Adams (T, Washington - didn't look great when he came back at the end of last year - I'm taking a "wait and see" with him, but for now, I'll leave him out) and Collin Johnson (WR, Texas - as with Edwards, might be slower than him).

Have you watched any of Walker Little (Stanford)? He seems to be a name on most 2020 'way too early' mock drafts. I've only watched a little bit of him but I wasn't exactly wowed considering the 'top 10' early hype.

Agree on Trey Adams. Didn't like what I saw, he didn't seem to be very fleet of foot shall we say, and his height works against him at times.

Not yet - I'll move him to the top of the list and have a look tonight. I'm not always a huge fan of Stanford O-Lineman, find they seem to be on the ground a bunch. Nate Herbig the guard who declared early, I had his "OTG" count in my notes into double figures for all his games I watched - don't believe he was drafted.

I wasn't sure how healthy Adams was when I saw him at the end of last season. I hope he was like 50% or something, because if that's who he is now, he's not a top prospect. Bad injuries can change prospects unfortunately.

Just watched him and I'm with you - not wowed.

Listed at 6'7" 313, but looks shorter and lighter, particularly in terms of the lower body. Looks a below average athlete at best - I always look for "NFL left tackle feet" first, like Andre Dillard this year and Joe Noteboom last year, but for me he doesn't have that kind of athletic ability. Plays short armed - really struggles to shut the door on inside moves. More of a "catcher" in pass pro than a striker - anchor isn't the best. Bit of a finesse run blocker - some waist bending evident. Not great climbing to the second level. I'd struggle with a first round grade - has a year to grow, but in my way too early categories, I'll go with "Borderline top 100" and I might be being nice because it's Friday!

Some sad news.

Bills superfan Pancho Billa has died today. He was the Bills fan who read out the Ed Oliver pick from his hospital bed.

Sad news indeed. At least he got to announce that pick, hopefully Ed Oliver goes on to be a success.

A Rotoworld 2020 Mock for anyone interested:

Per that link who is questioning Tua's arm strength? He's not Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes level but he can sling it for sure. The question on him is surely his decision-making, specifically his habit of favouring looking for the home run too long over making yardage and keeping on schedule.

Josh Allen III is actually Jake Fromm. He'll change his name on draft night.
