2020 Draft Prospect Discussion

[powderblueboy]

My signature says it all
assuming medical checks out of course
Best qb prospect I’ve seen in a while

yeah, go with tua (if he checks out); and what i mean by checks out is a thorough evaluation of his projected health down the road.

Top AFC teams have Brady, Mahomes, Watson & Jackson.
You don't get a lot of shots to get a franchise type qb: build around your franchise qb.


Would you rather have Russell Wilson or Bobby Wagner? Easy decision.

Something I’m always factoring into draft decisions is the message we send our current superstars, namely Bosa and James.
by not having a legitimate heir at QB, we’re essentially telling these guys that a year in their prime is purposely being sacrificed to hopefully land a Trevor Lawrence of Justin fields in 2021. If I’m Bosa and am planning my second contract negotiations, I feel a lot better about staying if there’s a Tua or even Herbert there while I’m chasing down Patrick Mahomes twice a year.
Hell, if we draft Tua AND get a chance at Trevor, fuck it, draft him too! QBs generally retain their value.
if we weren’t in this horrible situation with the stadium and having virtually no fans, I wouldn’t mind skipping QB and rolling with Tyrod and Stick while we build a line and defense.
but why on earth would Bosa or James want to remain here?
maybe waiting until 2021 isn’t too late, but there’s no good reason to take that chance. Draft Tua and give our guys something to believe in. While gaining the interest of 90% of college football fans.

Only downside to drafting Simmons, the current coaching staff will likely fatten him up too much and there goes his speed ala White.

Gotta say wouldnt mind grabbin Simmons in the first.Bosa,Derwin,and Simmons?If your D cant dominate with those beasts your coordinator should be exiled from football.

Simmons would have been useless when the Raider Oline was resetting the line of scrimmage routinely in the 2nd half.

[Boltgang74]

Well of course I want more talent on the D line too.You think Brown would he a better pick than Simmons?

[wu-dai clan]

Derrick Brown?

Fix the Oline...:biggrin:

Oh, you like my Tua idea ? j/k.

Okay. Tell me one who started at 218 lbs coming out of college, and regained his speed 15-20 lbs heavier.

I am not doing that kinda research...life is too short. I can tell you I did...because some of the muscle I put on in my early 20s was exactly the kind that made me faster...lots and lots of plyometrics!!
Of course it is possible. Are you going to tell me that teams don't add NFL muscle to these guys when they come out? Or that when they do, they always get slower?
Look...go ahead and put Kyzir back at 218, and he becomes a situational guy or special teamer...won't hold up as a backer...thats why they put the muscle on him.

He’s just a guy right now. Nothing special. Looked promising in his 3 games last season but none of that carried over. I don’t know if it’s the weight or the stellar coaching. Chargers seem to be like a lot of people who get into relationships expecting the other person to change. That never works out either.

[wu-dai clan]

Stellar coaching for the win.
We play a soft zone coverage type of defense.

The go with a guy who can evade 300 pound heat seeking missiles, because you are incapable of putting together an Oline idea?
