Eagles are exploring trading up for what many believe to be Cee Dee Lamb.
Falcons want to trade up for what many believe to be CJ Henderson.

Oh and there’s a lot of talk about Tua sliding. I could see him fall out of the top 15.

The only thing I believe 100% is that it’s gonna be defense, beyond that there’s just waaay too many variables at play for me to take a stab at it

I've seen chatter that CJ Henderson is going to go ahead of Okudah.

Inherited from Ray Rhodes. Similar situation to DJ here.

That doesn't change much. It just means they already had a hell of a player so they didn't need to draft as much there.

Yea those are strange.

I think someone had posted a bit more of a detailed list than what is below in the link, but this is a report from the draft network just before the combine about the medical red flags on some prospects. If anybody can find a more updated or detailed list, I’d appreciate a post!

Some people think Kinlaws stuff is really bad like he's going to drop significantly because of it.

And what about in Philly? They basically had shit at LB his entire tenure and it was revolving door every year. Hard to sell that all of this history is a coincidence.

I was curious, so I looked up Andy Reid's draft history when it comes to LBs.

His Philly history with LBs looks bad at first, but consider the draft batting percentage of some of the game's best GMs. Then think about their percentages of finding quality players in the later rounds. This is probably right in line with the average if we're just isolating one position.

He drafted one solid franchise cornerstone player (Trent Cole). He drafted few guys who started multiple seasons and were all-around valuable players (Omar Gaither, Stewart Bradley, Mychal Kendricks). The rest were kind of crap, or at least they didn't do anything of note for the Eagles.

Also, lol at all the former Chiefs on this list. Quinton Caver. Man, I remember when we were so desperate for good defense during the Vermeil days we were splooging over picking up a 2nd round pick that was cut early. "Hey, it can't get any worse" was a rather exciting justification for a lot of our personnel moves back then.

1999: Barry Gardner (2nd round)
2001: Quinton Caver (2nd round)
2002: Tyreo Harrison (6th round)
2005: Matt McCoy (2nd round) Trent Cole (5th round) David Bergeron (7th round)
2006: Chris Gocong (3rd round) Omar Gaither (5th round)
2007: Stewart Bradley (3rd round)
2008: Bryan Smith (3rd round) Joe Mays (6th round) Andy Studebaker (6th round)
2009: Moise Fokou (7th round)
2010: Keenan Clayton (4th round) Ricky Sapp (5th round) Jamar Cheney (7th round)
2011: Casey Matthews (4th round) Brian Rolle (6th round) Greg Lloyd Jr (7th round)
2012: Mychal Kendricks (2nd round)

I probably don't need to post his Chiefs draft history. Ya'll can figure that one out yourselves.

Guy would've been an easy 1st rounder a decade ago.

And I still like him - he might be the best LB in this draft on 1st and 2nd downs. But he's being stretched quite a bit if you're leaving him out there on passing downs.

I don't think he'll be a Ragland style liability in coverage on 1st and 2nd down though. He'll be...fine. Not good, but not a complete disaster. And he's a really powerful downhill backer - something very few other guys in this class can say.

He's different than many of the guys we are putting ahead of him, for sure. But he has some real strengths of his own.

But really what that report would tell me is that few people see any of these LBs going in the 1st and maybe not even the 2nd. That may be as much of an indictment on the other guys as it is strong support of Brooks.

With a 13 Wonderlic score, it will be surprising if he doesn't drop to the bottom of the 1st.

Woof. That's bordering on Vince Young territory

I was told the Wonderlic doesn’t matter for QB’s by Bronco fans.

About Paxton Lynch.

I’m sure that’s not why he failed though...

From Matt Miller:

Quote:

5. Position Runs Late First Round

The early portion of Round 1 is expected to be dominated by quarterbacks, offensive tackles and wide receivers, but most league insiders expect the latter half of the round to be equally dominated by linebackers and cornerbacks.


Butch Dill/Associated Press
Linebackers Patrick Queen, Kenneth Murray, Zack Baun and Brooks are all projected to be selected between pick Nos. 20 and 40, and at cornerback there is a cluster of players like A.J. Terrell, Jaylon Johnson, Trevon Diggs and Jeff Gladney who are also projected in that same 20-pick range.

The first 15 selections will be dominated by offense, but the last 17 picks of the round could largely be spent on defense.
Also noted Temple IOL Matt Hennessy is a riser. Top of the 2nd rd buzz

RunKC 04-17-2020 03:59 PM

Everything I’m reading is indicating a run on LB’s in the 2nd rd. Definitely sounds like there won’t be a player left who can start this year.
