Fullback Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) This is the same smoke and mirrors as all the predraft chatter. Team officials and sources will always try to appease the fanbase, underlining how big of a steal all their picks were. I can't remember the last time when Steve Keim of the Cardinals didn't come out after the draft claiming they had a 1st round grade on their 3rd round pick. Actually this year he may be right with Josh Jones. So basically all teams in the 1st are on record that they got a top 5 or top 10 prospect. You hear it each and every year. And in the mid and late rounds, you always hear how this player stood out from the rest of the pool, and how nobody could believe he is available. Please do yourself a favor don't buy that stuff anymore lol. Boards are different, no doubt. But don't believe things like Ayiuk, who i like, was the 1st WR on the 49ers board, or that each team that drafted a 1st round OT (or at least the top 4 OTs) magically got exactly the OT they had ranked highest. Smoke and mirrors! Edited May 3, 2020 by Fullback 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The Redskins were all-in on Saahdiq Charles. Ron Rivera and Kyle Smith did a deep dive on his background and issues with the team, as well as other front office guys. Rivera never seriously considered Tu'a at #2 and it seemed that none of the offers came close to what they expected. We didn't sign a ton of UDFA (the number is four, along with an overseas signing) because of the concern of developing everyone over a shortened offseason. Despite rumors of players being involved in a trade for Trent Williams, the Redskins never wanted to do that wanted draft picks only.

I'm very curious to see how that impacts his game (in a positive way; he was clearly out-muscled on a number of occasions and if he can maintain his foot speed with that added weight, watch out).

Johnny Nix Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It’s hard for me to believe a lot of this stuff For the Bengals, they have come out and said they had pretty much everyone of their picks rated at least a round higher, some two rounds from where they were picked.

Xenos Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Chargers were apparently fine with taking any of the top 3 QBs at 6 (ie. Tua or Burrows). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khodder Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 re: Simmons at 8 - It was fun to hear Kliff Kingsbury to saying immediately after the combine interview the team had with him that "I'm good with him at 8 if you are". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
