I’ve soured on Murray since discovering Patrick queens film where he plays well, I think he’s clearly the better LB.

murray had me excited about athleticism
queen had me excited about linebackers
that probably says everything

Good way of putting it.
although queens calling card is being ridiculously explosive, but his reaction time and ability to begin flowing long before 99% of LBs is what separates him from the likes of a Murray imo
queen looks like a linebacker who is athletic
murray looks like an athlete playing linebacker

My newest mock draft:
We need EDGE? How about 3, all of whom attack in different ways and have varying skill sets. We need WR? How about we get him a polished route runner and a freak project? We need a running back of the future? How about future superstar Cam Akers?

This would be a dream draft. Reagor is a game breaker and would add to the explosiveness of our offense. Greenard and Willekes would both big a big improvement to our pass rush. Davis-Gaither is great in coverage and would instantly become a team captain. Kindly, despite the name, is a mauler perfect for our offense. Bryant is a really athletic special teams player that could become a starting nickelback.
love that draft except for willikes - i just dont like him as a prospect at all - certainly not on day 2
but Reagor and Greenard are 2 of my favourite guys for us to draft, I think Davis-Gaither is worthy of a high day 2 pick, solomon kindley has some tools that could translate well and Georgia coaching staff speak really highly of him

Yeah, in a real draft I expect Davis-Gaither to go much higher. I wouldn't be against using our 2nd round pick on him
shane lemieux and jordan elliott in the 4th would be insanely good
bryan edwards might go later now that he's going to miss the combine with a broken foot - there were some teams who were doubting his speed and a good 40 should have consolidated him towards the top but now he cant decisively prove it one way or the other

Tua Tagovailoa reveals that he would like to play for his favorite team growing up, the Dallas Cowboys. Now that's not news worthy as every prospect wants to be drafted by and play for their favorite team. It's the comments about it where he says he doesn't mind waiting a year and letting him heal up and he'll be ready to play.
"I'm not trying to bump him -- I'll learn under him," Tagovailoa said of Prescott. "I'd handle it the way that the coaches there want to handle it. Honestly, I just want to be able play again. I wouldn't mind learning under whatever guy that's the starter. Give me a whole year to rest up and then go back out and compete, but I just want to go back out and play."

If you hear this, what's your first thoughts? It's great the doctor may have cleared him but why is he saying give him a year to rest then let him play? Obviously that is the likely scenario with the Dolphins sticking with Fitzpatrick for 2020 and letting Tua heal up for the 2021 season but shouldn't he be saying that he'll be ready to play if a team drafts him?

Damn I’m just now hearing about that. Edwards athletically looks sneaky fast, I have no doubts that he would clear a lot of doubts with a combine, he moves every bit as well as Boykin on film, and I think he’s a good deal more physical and strong in contested catches. He doesn’t look like he changes direction QUITE as sharply but he looks just as fast.
donovan peoples Jones is a guy who’s starting to grow on me too, I’m gonna try to get around to watching him a little deeper, he’s got a really intriguing blend of size speed and quicks, ultimate upside guy.
i wouldnt bother watching more donovan peoples jones film - he's a really great prospect but watching him get open and have shea patterson do something insanely bad in the pocket (or out of it) is infuriating
at the moment peoples-jones is WR10 on my board with a late 2nd/early 3rd round grade

lol those 3 in the 1st (Ruiz, Reagor, Baun) are always my go-to in my mock drafts.
Then 2nd round I go (greenard or Denzel Mims)
3rd i always look for Akeem Davis-Gaither or van jefferson
4th is shane lemieux, Tyler Johnson and 1 of the DTs: Jordan Elliot, Leki Fotu, or Davon Hamilton.

What's everyone's thoughts on this perception by every media outlet that Joe Burrow needs to pull an Eli and refuse to play for the Bengals? I've never seen this much talk about it from the media even in the years when the Browns were slated to take a QB. We've seen bad teams and organizations take QBs and not once a suggestion of refusing to play there.
More so than ever, many national outlets are saying they don't want Burrow to play for the Bengals. Then on top of that, Carson Palmer has said he should try to play elsewhere because the Bengals don't want to win Super Bowls.
Just crazy to see how much negativity of Burrow going to Cincy and the media narrative of how he should refuse to play there.

I prioritize YGM and Patrick queen, but those 3 are my fallbacks lol.
mims is often my round 2 fallback, I see Curtis weaver and kj hamler fairly often at 2 and that’s always my go to, but I’ve been liking DPJ lately and i was feeling spicy lol.
if cam Akers is there in 3 I always go with him, I think he’s gonna go way later than he should and he’s about to be a star In the league. That just feels like a ravens pick that helps define The next 4 years.

Cam Akers is going to be a steal. His oLine let him down. But it’s hard to see us keep 4 RBs and Ricard on the 53.
Someone like trace McSorley gotta go then.

Justice hill can get fucked lol.
I wouldn’t pass up a guy I think is gonna be a superstar in round 3 because justice hill might become a slightly above average 3rd down back one day if he makes a huge improvement...
id be happy with either ruiz or reagor there
would definitely astronomically prefer alton robinson over kenny willikes
