Five Alabama players in the top 20 rated. Is Saban paying their salaries?

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

The thing I love about Brown and Thomas is both of them have serious mean streaks

Gambo was saying yesterday that the Cardinals love Brown and now he's changing his tune.

It is a screenshot from a twitter DM that I got from the Cardinals reddit.

With the amount of screens, pulling, & not a BA-esque long developing passing plays, I think I have finally decided that Wirfs fits this offense more than Wills. It’s not like he’s a project either. Great at run blocking, but just needs to improve his pass-blocking.


Now, if this was BA’s offense? Then yea, Wills over Wirfs all the way.

 

[DVontel]

Not to mention, pass-rushers won’t be able to go at him 100% since they have to respect Kyler’s athleticism unlike the statue QBs they had at Iowa.

 

[Solar7]

I think I'm slightly into Wirfs over Wills as well, just thinking about athleticism.

 

[Cardiac]

I part of me (lizard brain) wants Becton. Big Man Bash Opposition.

 

[SoonerLou]

Still 50/50 on Wirfs/Wills. Wills will be better day 1 and its critical Kyler plays confidently in the pocket.




However....are we looking at a trade down?

By Athlon Sports, 4/7/20, 11:00 AM EDT

Alabama's Jedrick Wills Jr. is part of an impressive group of OT prospects in this year's draft
Teams looking for help at offensive tackle in the 2020 NFL Draft are in luck because this year's class is deep and full of quality prospects. Four offensive tackles were taken in the first round last year, a number that's likely to be topped by the 2020 class.

As part of Athlon Sports' 2020 NFL Draft Guide, we have ranked each position, including 40 offensive tackles. This year's class is headlined by a pair of Georgia Bulldogs along with standouts from Alabama, Louisville, and Iowa. These linemen are not only but also young. Five of Athlon's top six tackle prospects are draft-eligible juniors with the other in this group a sophomore. A total of seven tackles received first-round grades, so expect to see quite a few go when the first round of this year's draft commences on April 23.

2020 NFL Draft: Offensive Tackle Rankings
Rk Player School
1 Andrew Thomas Georgia
2 Jedrick Wills Jr. Alabama
3 Mekhi Becton Louisville
4 Tristan Wirfs Iowa
5 Isaiah Wilson Georgia
6 Austin Jackson USC
7 Josh Jones Houston
8 Lucas Niang TCU
9 Prince Tega Wanogho Auburn
10 Ezra Cleveland Boise State

Truth is we will get a high quality player who we can justify. We might differ on biggest needs but I believe we will fill a need one way or another.

Taking Becton would be a gamble but he would not be forced into the starting lineup

Imagine him as the starting RG in 2020.

 

[JeffGollin]

Is it crazy or do the top picks seems more concrete now?

I think Miami or the Chargers may trade ahead of each other to get the QB they want but the other picks stay the same.

Cincy - Burrows
Wash - Young
Detroit - Okudah
NYG - OT
Miami - QB
Chargers - QB
Carolina - ?

Carolina is the one I can't figure out right now.

With Kuechly history in this scenario, they could eye Simmons

 

[Finito]

I would play Becton at G.

Hulk smash!!

Hmm - a trade back that nets us Lamb and a top 4 OT might improve us the most.

I was able to watch the condensed games on NFL GamePass which is a great way to see just plays, and I will be happy with an OL or Def player. Imagining DHop in those games got me excited and the thought of Kyler even having 1 or 2 more seconds was even more exciting. On the other side, teams gashed us in runs and TE's so with what we did in FA and hopefully more in the draft I'm officially off a WR at 8, I wouldn't be mad about it but right now that's not as pressing as getting our trenches tight.
