Hi everyone - long time no see. For those of you that don't know me I'm a Dolfan since 1971 and was one of these forums original posters. I've also coached for 32 years.
Since we have 5 picks in the top two rounds this NFL Draft I've obviously been thinking a lot about the draft. Here's my thoughts -
- The best player in the 2020 draft is Ohio State DE Chase Young. Hands down should be the top pick of the draft for us. His speed out of his stance is amazing and he has the size / speed ratio to dominate games for a decade. He will also make Wilkins and the rest of the DL better!
- Tua is solid, but I'm a little concerned with his feet (not very fast and two foot injuries in two years) and I like Herbert from Oregon's arm strength if we do take young and lose Tua I'd be Ok with that. . I'm also a Rosen fan and think he could develop into our guy. In fact, I'd much rather go with Rosen and draft DE Young and a couple other studs in round 1 and stick with Rosen / Fitzpatrick. Our QB play isn't why we are losing and Fitz is the perfect guy to bring Rosen around. If Rosen struggles next season or can't beat out Fitzpatrick, then we still have two first rounders in 2021 to grab our QB.
- We truly are in a mode to "Draft the best player" regardless of position with our next two years 1st and 2nd rounders. Free Agency will also be sweet as we should have the cap room to sign in just what we need to fill the cracks. Personally I'd like to use FA to find our OL additions and maybe an elite defender.
