***Official 2020 NFL Draft Thread***

I'd cry if the Lions drafted me, too.

Those aren't "tears of joy" from Deandre Swift. He's legitimately crying, because he now has to live in Detroit for over half the year.

[yellowxdiscipline]

Offense is gonna be sick this year, just need to shore up the interior oline, make it easier for Mixon to run.

Swift's ol' man is ripped black Santa Claus.

Lloyd Cushenberry?

Hopefully Malik Harrison.

Ha, his family looked pissed.

from Zac presser...All options still open for 3rd....right now the plan is BPA but trading up or down is not off the table

[TecmoBengals]

Burrow & Higgins, two players from championship programs. I like winners. Bring that mentality to the Bengals.

[Joelist]

I am happy, happy, happy!!!

Oh, and I called this (WR) on the forums well before the draft. ZT had no desire to repeat last season where AJ got hurt and the playbook got trashed - now he both has his 3 WR set AND if an injury hits the playbook stays open.

Brilliant analysis.

The banner in Higgins’ living room said “congradulations”. This is a football family.

If our offense isn't super swell ZT is getting fired out of a canon. 

[Millhouse]

Great pick!

Agree

Chad Johnson was upset Higgins didn’t make it into the first round last night. Bet he’s happy now! Who Dey!

Getting calls and getting calls that are worthwhile are two different things. If you're dropping 15 spots and getting a 5th rounder that's not a trade you're going to make. They could have all been crazy offers. 

[Vas Deferens]

Might not need a defense by the end of this draft

[Joelist]

And I LOVE getting a WR who has been lauded for his hands and body control - shades of Chad Johnson with more height.

[Whatever]

I like Higgins as a player and he played most of the year with a high ankle sprain, but he tested poorly at his pro day, though injuries may have been a factor. It's hard to go against the recent pedigree of Clemson WR's in the NFL. Higgins definitely has future #1 potential. Plus he worked out with Burrow during the off-season and AJ is his idol, so there's good chemistry there.

I hear the waters good.
