It's time to correct this awful ship and direction we been on. As our old coach used to say "There's no easing into a street fight".


Trades:

Jalen Ramsey(after deal), '20 7th rd., and NRC to Lions for 2021 1st and 2022 1st

Matt Patricia has got to figure out a way to stop the hemorrhage of yards they gave up last season (2019 NFL worst 284yds/game). A once in a generation talent at CB and NRC helps him shore up his defense. They also have more than enough cap to pull this off.

Jared Goff and '20 6th rd. to Miami for 2020 1st #18 and 2020 1st #25.
This makes a HUGE amount of sense for both parties here. First the Dolphins get a perennial starter that has talent and locked into a long term contract. Finally they get a starter. While LA gets released out the contract to go looking for another youngin to enjoy on the cheap for years to come. The thing that sucks is we foot 20mill for doing this blockbuster.

Lions 2020 #3 1st round, Miami 2020 #18 1st round, Rob Havenstein to Bengals #1-
The trade value tips in the favor for the Bengals and former assistant and friend of Sean McVay, Zach Taylor gets a top 3 pick, a starter at OT, and another 1st rounder to build his teams talent pool. Miami has 98 mill in cap so plenty of room in the future for Jared.

Resign Dante Fowler 4 years 16.8 mill./avg
Resign Cory Littleton 4 years 13 mill./avg
Resign Andrew Whitworth 1 year 10 mill
Reisgn Blake Bortles 1 Year 2 mill.
Resign Austin Blythe 2 years 2.5 mill/avg.
Tender Johnny Mundt
Tender Morgan Fox

Plus leaving about 25 million in cap room and Lions 2021 1st rounder.


2020 NFL Draft-


With the 2020 first pick of the decade, THE Los Angeles Rams select:

Joe Burrow QB LSU

I can't say enough about Joe Burrow, he has that IT factor like Patrick Mahomes does. He's generally on the money, dynamic, a leader of men and clutch. All areas I feel we will get an upgrade with as our QB1. Hard not to be able to root and support the guy.


Pick #25 from Miami:
Tyler Biadasz C Wisconsin

1577954800204.png




Here is our C or G of the future. Guy has a nasty streak and is a dominant force, needs to work on his footwork and hips but have no question he will be a keeper.
Draft review:
Pros - Ass-kicker that moves people against their will with consistency. Routinely resets the line of scrimmage in the run game and generates movement. Terrific power throughout his frame that combines with sound technique that makes him a devastating run blocker. A wall in pass protection. Does well to frame rushers and anchor. Good mobility to slide laterally and stay square. Refined with his hand usage in terms of timing, placement, fits and his strikes carry a ton of pop. Football IQ is a notable strength. Timing and execution of his assignments in concert with the play design is precise. Easily diagnosis and anticipates pressure packages, twists and stunts. Takes excellent angles as a vertical blocker and does well to connect on the move. Has made 27 consecutive starts at center for the Badgers after redshirting in 2016.

Cons - Had an offseason surgery to “clean up his hip” and it kept him sidelined for spring practices. Is outstanding with his hand usage but it’s clear that he lacks ideal length, making his timing and technique all that much more important. Has a tendency to narrow his base at times and take away from his functional strength.


Round 2:

Raekwon Davis Alabama 3-4DE



View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J1MURp83uc


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaosvlXGiqY


6/29/19:
Davis totaled 55 tackles with 5.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks in 2018. For the NFL, he projects as a nose tackle in a 3-4 or 4-3, yet he could also play five-technique end in a 3-4 defense. His lateral anchor is rare and truly phenomenal. Teams just can't move him at all in the ground game. Davis' lower and upper body strength gives him a rare ability to handle bump blocks and double teams without giving up any movement in the ground game. Davis did not produce the big sack total in 2018 that he did in 2017, but team sources say they still felt that Davis was worthy of going as a top-20 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft if he had declared.

We need a run stuffer, Brockers has been a fail since we switched to the 3-4. Davis helps us shore up this stubborn run D.

Round 3:

Jordyn Brooks ILB Texas Tech



View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9QYzOIAMiU

I love Jordyn Brooks. as a former ILB I love to watch his awareness of who moving where and where to penetrate or how to take the correct pursuit angle. We need someone like him to smell blood and go get effectively compared to Reed or Howard we have had to use. Jordyn's a f'n beast but he's hard to peg before the combine where he might land in the draft. For now he's in my 3rd round!

12/14/19: Brooks has some fans in the scouting community. Some team sources see Brooks as a second-round pick while others have him as a third- or fourth-rounder. Some think he is a true inside linebacker while others think he is a Will - weakside - linebacker for the NFL. The ones who have Brooks lower think he is athletic and fast, but has average instincts and does not take on blocks well. The sources who are higher on Brooks think he is a pure middle linebacker who can do it all. Regardless, Brooks will probably be a second-day pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Round 4:

Michael Pittman Jr WR USC



View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQV_H03yShE


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idUwKn1DLSM


2019 season: 1222 yards, 11 touchdowns against top DBs as well. With this deep WR class of 2020 he is projected to go in the 3rd or 4th right now. I love watching him play, he catches balls in traffic, strong ass hands and would be an damned good candidate to challenge Reynolds for that 4th WR job!









Well, wasn't wanting to do this off season stuff yet but I guess you don't get to choose what you want in life sometimes huh? lol I have faith in our front office Demoff/Snead and their teams to evaluate, not be tied to emotions, and do the right things that are the best for the team. They are sharp, Demoff has our contracts down and can make this happen with Snead pulling the trigger.

Anyways, enjoyed reading all your Mocks today ( i had been refusing to look at this forum section! lol)

Ok time for sleep.. Cheers

I'm weary of any college QB that only had one good season.

The Cincinnati Bengals pass on that deal, Burrow is a hometown kid that has their fan base energized for the first time in many years, he'll go from being a Tiger to being a Bengal.

Do me a favor on your next mock only make trades with draft choices no players, then it becomes more realistic.

There's zero chance that any of this would happen, and I'm not sure why we would want this. We're going to trade a promising young QB who went to back-to-back Pro Bowls and led us to the Super Bowl by age 24 for a 23 year old QB who is a total unknown? Why?

Let's take a step back and consider this for a second. Here are the second through fourth seasons of two QBs:
QB A
29-19 record
1031/1651
62.4% completion percentage
12,679 passing yards (4226 per year)
7.7 YPA
85 passing TDs (28 per year)
53 Ints (18 per year)
89.9 passer rating

QB B
33-14 record
1054/1664
63.3% completion percentage
13,130 passing yards (4377 per year)
7.9 YPA
82 passing TDs (27 per year)
35 Ints (12 per year)
95.4 passer rating

QB A was Peyton Manning. QB B is Jared Goff. Both were 23 to 25 years old during those stretches. Maybe Burrow ends up being better. But I wouldn't be sure of that. There are only 5 QBs in NFL history who posted 10,000+ passing yards, 80+ passing TDs, and a 95+ passer rating over their second through fourth seasons in the NFL. They are: Kurt Warner, Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Dan Marino, and Jared Goff. I expect Patrick Mahomes to join the club next year.

This draft sucks: you didn't trade Donald to the Raiders for their firsts.

In all seriousness, though, this draft is probably my least favorite draft out of every draft I've seen (except my own.) I don't know why we trade Goff and Ramsey because they're who you build around.

Well I enjoyed reading it. :p

Oh and btw I'd trade Goff for Burrow in a heartbeat and I love Goff. But there is no way we're gonna sniff the high real estate of this draft after a down year for our young QB. It's all good onwards and upwards by God with a better OL in 2020.
