Maybe Davis really is the target. I just hope he's the target in the middle to late 2nd or early 3rd. Not #31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he's the target in the middle to late 2nd or early 3rd. Not #31. It works in line with King's report about us being desperate for a space eater. As a two down run stuffer (with mixed results on being that), I really hope we aren't looking at him in that range either. I don't even want him in the second round. There are also reports from Rap that the media is way off in the evaluations this year and people are telling him that everyone is going to be shocked by how the draft rolls off this year and where people go, so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Mayock saying his first rankings are usually based on his own eval where the later ones talking with scouts and gm and the buzz around the league have more of an influence. So no pro days really changes that when you don't get to spend much time talking to those guys and picking up the feeling on those days.

757-NINER Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Yea I always felt this draft, amid a pandemic and shorten window for teams to evaluate talent, was going to be really weird, in a interesting way. I'm sure alot of fans will be dumfounded by alot of draft day picks/moves through those 3 days. Edited April 17, 2020 by 757-NINER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely WOULD NOT like the pick....but it wouldn't surprise me if he was the pick tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Oh, I hope Raekwon is a smoke screen. The very earliest I would hope we would consider him is the 3rd (which we won't have unless we trade down). I don't believe there is all that much to get excited about with Davis. Regardless of where he is picked, he would be a 'meh' pick for me (and if it was in the 1st?! I would be apoplectic! ). He seems to be a guy with good to great physical traits, but lacking in work ethic and desire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinerNation21 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I was reading an article somewhere (can't remember where now) about how teams could be ultra conservative in the draft and go with the safest prospects first, which means more talented guys with health question marks could drop into the bottom rounds. So, yay for having 2 5th's, but man I would love to have a 4th or two and 3rd 5th to scoop up some of those guys to roll the dice on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they like what they've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Homer alert? I don't care, but Juju Hughes is a guy we should target in the late rounds. Can play slot or FS. I know we have depth at both positions but let him compete for a spot. His tackling bugged me at times, but dude can play. A late round WR target that I like is John Hightower. He can challenge for one of the last WR spots on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most insider talks are face to face with a guy u know and trust. Doubt these GM/coaches want info getting leaked over phone calls/text or zoom chats. I think all the insiders are gonna be on the outside this draft season. Besides maybe a few who have decade long connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Ooof...earlier reports were that multiple teams also had Tua off their board completely. He's going to fall pretty far, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
