NFL 2020 Offseason Thread

Uh, Tampa is known as one of the best places in the country for, shall we say, a certain type of club with a very casual dress code.

Is it? I did not know that. Would it place in the top 10 cities nationally for such clubs?

Regardless, Gronk doesn't seem the type to patronize such establishments...

I do like Cigar City Brewing.

Nobody talking about the draft live?
Surprised!!

There’s a reason, it’s criminally boring.
I would not miss draft shows, or awards shows if they were Covid casualties.

I have CoronaBrain and can't remember anything that happened before March...are there any potential candidates for the draft from Duke this year?

Defensive tackle Edgar Cerenord, quarterback Quentin Harris, defensive end Tre Hornbuckle, defensive tackle Trevon McSwain, punter Austin Parker, linebacker Koby Quansah and safety Dylan Singleton all are in the draft pool hoping to become Duke's next NFL name.

Not quite DJ level excitement this year.

So, probably looking at all UDFA this year. Cerenord and Singleton maybe have a shot in the later rounds, I suppose.

Sounds about right. Found this on what Cut did to help promote the guys absent an in-person pro day. Pretty good read/watch.

Very slight chance McSwain gets drafted in the 7th round. More likely he goes UFA, as will be the case with other Duke prospects.

And some Duke UFA's have made an NFL roster. I'm saying there's a chance.

Lenoir Rhyne -- Kyle Dugger - safety, going to the Patriots. 6-2, 220 -- played in the Senior Bowl. 24 YO.

Good for him.

Number of 1st Round selections per conference:

SEC - 15
BIG 10 - 5
BIG 12 - 5
ACC - 3
PAC 12 - 3
MWC - 1

New York Jets selected Denzel Mims from Baylor with their 2nd Round pick. Why do I point this out on a Duke board? Because it has potential to benefit Jamison Crowder.

Mims scouting report states he has rare blend of size, top-end speed and length...2nd gear capable of taking the top of coverages.

If Mims is a legitimate deep threat, demanding a double team, Crowder will have room to operate in the slot.

Panthers draft shaping up nicely.

And its officially time to stop flipping to ESPN to see picks now that they've decided not to talk about the picks as they come in.

New York Giants shoring up the protection for Daniel Jones:

1st - Andrew Thomas OT (Georgia)
3rd - Matt Peart OT (UConn)
5th - Shane Lemieux OG (Oregon)

[Acymetric]

The answer is probably yes, but has a team with picks in every round (excluding teams who traded away picks and only took 2 or 3 guys) every picked players exclusively from one side of the ball before?

Bob, that Giants OL sure needs an overhaul. Glad to see them draft on their weakness.

GoDuke!

Giants drafted defensive players in 2nd, 4th and 6th rounds. It will be interesting to see how they use their four 7th Round picks.

To answer my own question, this is the first time in draft history a team has drafted all 7 players on the defensive side of the ball.

The draft is complete, 13 of 14 ACC teams had at least one player drafted...

I guess Duke was the one ACC school that didn't have one player drafted. This tells me: 1) It's hard for Duke to recruit elite high school talent. 2) Coach Cut is doing a fine job except, he could have called the plays on offense this season or hired a good OC.

GoDuke!
