2020 Draft Needs

[BURROWorBUST]

Great thread. This is a good exercise. I'm with you in rounds 1-3.

There are a couple of top ranked OTs and Guards/Centers who could very well fall to 33, and they're more likely to be there than one of the top LBs. I think Oline has to take precedence this year at the 33rd pick. So, unless Baun or Queen falls to 33, we go Oline. If we get Baun or Queen, then I think we have to look Oline in 3.

If we take an OT in 2, then we should target either Shane Lemieux or (preferably in my view) Solomon Kindley IF they fall to the 4th round.

If we take an OG (i.e., Cesar Ruiz or Lloyd Cushenberry) in round 2, then Ben Bartch might be the only OT who might possibly fall to 4 who'd be worth taking. Otherwise, I think there'll be more value at WR in the 4th than at Oline.

I'd be fine with LB in 3, especially if Malik Harrison is still there. Harrison has enough speed for what we're doing on D, I believe. I think he can be a 3 down ILB. I think/hope Bynes is a 1 year stop gap. If we take Harrison, I hope he's ready to start. If he's not there, then we can double dip in the 3rd and 6th at OLB, I'd love to team up a couple of Carolina boys (Davis-Gaither & Strnad).

QB   Joe Burrow, QB LSU
OT   Josh Jones , OT Houston
LB   Willie Gay, LB, Miss State
WR Van Jefferson, WR, FLorida
OL Yasir Durant, IOL, Missouri
LB Justin Strnad OLB Wake Forest
WR Jauan Jennings , WR Tennessee

EDIT: I added players, based on what I posted here last night using TDN Mock Simulator. 


ADMISSION: I changed my 5th Round pick from WR to IOL when I read a little more about Durant. He played OT in college, but seems like a better fit at Guard in the NFL.
