PreDraft notes. Draft news leading up to draft day.

I expect this from a 20 year old, sad coming from you...

It was a joke, lighten up.

Keep an eye out for Charlotte’s Alex Highsmith
Alex Highsmith of Charlotte is another edge rusher getting looks from a variety of 3-4 and 4-3 defenses. Most teams grade Highsmith as an early fourth-round prospect, although there is talk he could slide into the late part of Day 2. The senior turned in a solid cCmbine workout, but he did not take part in the bench press due to a strained pectoral muscle.

2020 NFL Draft Prospects: Kent Platte’s Relative Athletic Scores (RAS)

but he is right, this said buisness man normally have a go to guy for technical devices, now they don't so basically you startet throwing "mudd" at a generation and now the generation that have to stand the "mudd" thrown at them, throw it back.

That is because after the "Boomer" called Generation X, Generation Next or Generation internship, and Millenials and I-Generation out to be "lazy" and "snwoflakes" they started to get backfire.

You might think you have all rights to do so, but neither have you, nor the generation before or after you the right to discredit a whole generation. This are things only fascistic regimes do. And I'm sure you Sir, aren't a fan of fascistic regimes.

So stop calling out other Generations and belittel them, and they will stop calling you out and disrespect your generation.


Basically the old, give a little, take a little...

He used a slang meant to demean a generation. I called him out...

I respect all generations. All generations pump out outstanding individuals and a few outliers.

Your words of wisdom come as if you are talking down to me. I’ll leave it that...

Bears GM Ryan Pace said today he will draft in his dining room. Has 7 monitors and a cord running from his router down the stairs to his setup to make sure internet is running smoothly. Noted a hiccup the other day when his wife vacuumed and accidentally unplugged his monitors.

The #Falcons continue to be the team to watch when it comes to moving up in the NFL Draft. They have talked to teams well into the Top 10 and appear ready to make a huge leap from No. 16 via trade. CB remains a position of need:

#OSU’s Jeff Okudah and #Florida’s CJ Henderson.

Draft tidbits:
— The player teams just like the best seems to #OU LB Kenneth Murray. No negative words on him.
— #Louisville LT Mekhi Becton is the player scouts get most excited about. Potential.
— #UGA OT Andrew Thomas is the player most overlooked publicly who goes highest.

More draft tidbits:
— Sweet spot for the RBs is 26-32. Could see 1 or 2 taken there, with many (not all) having D'Andre Swift as 1.
— GM told me he has more than 32 1st round grades for the first time ever. Deep draft.
— Houston LT Josh Jones has the biggest range: 1st to 3rd.

CARTER COUGHLIN

“Tested well at the combine. Played more as a 3-4 outside linebacker. I don’t think he’s as good as his combine numbers. More of a situational pass rusher, special teamer at the next level.”

“I mean he could go late first round but I think at the top half of Round 2 is where he’ll end up. I think it helped his cause a bit (at the combine) because he’s a great straight line ball carrier, he’s got excellent speed. I think the fact he caught the ball a little bit better last year at Wisconsin helped him. But he is what he is. He’s more of a power downhill ball carrier that you can’t use around the perimeter and there are only specific schemes where he’s a good fit.

“I mean you look maybe, depending on what happens with the rest of their team, the Chargers at the top of Round 2 or a team like that. Something [in terms of scheme] that doesn’t get the running back the ball in space. You’re not going to ask him to run around the perimeter, you’re not going ask him to run around the corner too much. You want to keep him basically downhill.”

Lions GM Bob Quinn said Detroit’s Director of IT, Steve Lancaster, will be stationed in a Winnebago in his driveway for all hours of the three-day NFL Draft, in case there are any technical issues. Lancaster will go home each night, then return to the RV for draft’s resumption.

In the Top 10, there will be ample opportunities to move: I’m told the #Panthers are among the teams open to sliding back a few spots if someone came up for a QB or tackle or CB. They are currently at No. 7. Should be some action early.

Another team in the top 10 expressing interest in trading down: the #Cardinals at No. 8. They currently don't have a second-round pick (DeAndre Hopkins trade). Could be a spot someone jumps up for one of the top O-linemen … or a QB.

Underrated – Michael Pittman Jr./WR/USC: One team has Pittman graded as a top-15 player on their draft board. He was a terrific pass catcher on the college field, and his Scouting Combine workout surprised everyone. And while Pittman is not expected to land in round one, most feel he’ll be off the board early in the second frame.

At the Combine, 2 teams expressed concern about the left knee of #Bama WR Jerry Jeudy. Dr. Lyle Cain wrote a letter to all 32 teams detailing a previous surgery & saying “Jeudy has not required any treatment” on it and Cain expects him to progress “without limitations.” Letter:

Every team has their own medical views, and I’ve talked to many of them. While it’s possible some have issues with Jerry Jeudy’s knee, I have not spoken with a team yet that believes it will hinder his NFL career.

Alabama WR Henry Ruggs, fastest WR in the draft, tells @RapSheet he has heard the most from 49ers, Broncos, Eagles, Raiders

Raiders pick 12, 49ers 13, Broncos 15

Would Eagles have to trade up to get him?

I think the Dolphins would have to give up more than that if the Cardinals were remotely interested.
