Biadasz——He plays under control and usually hits his landmarks, but he has issues winning when matched against power. Pass protection could be a concern, as NFL sub-rushers will feast on his lunging and average lateral quickness. Biadasz's skill level has been developed, so he could become an early starter with limited upside. . . That's about as negative as a take on him as you are going to find.

And since there are so many quality receivers in this draft, it seems to me that we can get quality in round two. I remember we drafted Qadry Ismail (the Missile) in round two once. (and Sammy White too)

Bill Jandro -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (3/29/2020 9:34:01 AM)
Chase Claypool is an extremely intruiging prospect to say the least.

Not sure how people can completely discount years of actual game tape for a day in shorts? Denzel Mims is Linked to us in many Mock drafts at either #22/25. He was a beast in shorts, but somewhat carries the stigma of past “Baylor” WR’s that have failed at the next level- Kendall Wright Terrance Williams Corey Coleman I love this kids hands, ball skills, athleticism, and his desire. Not sure about his route running, or YAC ability.. Would’ve loved him in the 3rd round (Pre-combine)

Bill Jandro -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (3/29/2020 10:46:08 AM)
According to Walter football these are the OT's Wirf Thomas Becton Wills Jackson

Bruce Johnson -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (3/29/2020 11:42:02 AM)
Looking at the trade value chart, it looks like the Vikings would have to sacrifice their two third round selections, as well as their fourth and fifth rounds to offer enough to get back significantly into the second round. It feels like that is more than Spielmann will want to spare but you never know. If there is a compelling player who is available whom they rate very highly- even as a top of the second round grade- the team might trade up. I guess there is always the option of trading a pick from next years draft, too. Probably not, though. Spielmann normally likes to trade down from the middle of the draft.

Their is an outside chance one of the top 4 will fall to us. However, we need a guard more than we need a tackle and Some have Cesar Ruiz rated as highly as Jackson and Jones so don't disregard him as our potential 1st round OL.

Nice thing about him is he is comfortable on either side. FCS doesn't have the big athletic Tackles so level of competition is a worry but he looks to have some Jared Allen/Aaron Kampmann in him.

Like Hercules Mata'afa, he may not get himself drafted. There are questions about which position he should play in the NFL. They were both extremely successful in college.

I've been assuming that with Okudah and Henderson gone the best CB for us to draft would be Fulton. I check him out on NFL.Com and they have him as the #10 CB. Jaylon Johnson is 3rd. I am going to take a closer look at my CB rankings.

Jackson appears to have way more upside, much better measurables and athleticism than Jones as an NFL LT. Jackson's run blocking is miles better on walter football's site. Some sites have Jones as a day 3 pick others a late 1st rder.

Watching some WR highlights and the thing that amazes me about Laviska Shenault is not only his WR prowess, but they also use him as wildcat QB and as their Goal Line RB. Don't think I've ever seen that before.

Luke Braun on Twitter likes this player. He says he can fall to the third round because he didn't test at the combine and now there's no Pro day. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/ashtyn-davis?id=32194441-5616-3785-71b6-36de3d91d151

Bruce Johnson -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (3/30/2020 9:18:08 AM)
A new mock draft is out. As we get closer to draft day, the mocks should be getting more accurate. Perhaps the good thing to do is review who the players are around 22-25. Here's the list from this mock. It's interesting that so many of the players are from LSU or TCU. Unless there is a major trade, I would expect that two of these players will be a Viking. Since I am ruling out LB, and maybe I shouldn't, this would limit it to 14 players. Narrowing down who the player selected in the second round is nearly impossible. It depends so much on who is drafted in the first and who slides/ or if there is a trade. So anyway, I am suggesting that we focus on these players. Am I ruling out someone I should? Wait. I'm going to add some of the players the mock has going in the second round. That's five more players for a total of 19. Wow. That's a lot of players. Anyway, it is what it is. C.J. Henderson CB Florida K'Lavon Chaisson Edge LSU Mekhi Becton OT Louisville Kristian Fulton CB LSU Xavier McKinney S Alabama Denzel Mims WR Baylor Justin Jefferson WR LSU Kenneth Murray LB Oklahoma (I would be shocked if he is the choice) Patrick Queen LB LSU (doubt it, too) Jeff Gladney CB TCU Cesar Ruiz IOL Michigan Yetur Gross-Matos Edge Penn State Jalen Reagor WR TCU A.J. Epenesa Edge Iowa Laviska Shenault Jr. WR Colorado Ross Blacklock DT TCU ****************** Josh Jones OT Houston Tee Higgins WR Clemson Justin Madubuike DT Texas A&M Austin Jackson OT USC Noah Igbinoghene CB Auburn https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/marino-s-2020-nfl-mock-draft-7.0

Bruce Johnson -> RE: NFL Draft 2020 (3/30/2020 9:22:38 AM)
As you can see, some of these players will definitely fall to the second round. I am going to beat the drum for a trade up in the second round. I would like to see three starters from this draft.
