The New Orleans Saints are trading pick 130 and pick 203 for the New England Patriots* pick 125. @Randall Mentzos
Rams select Javelin Guidry, CB, Utah He’s an absolute athlete, and what he lacks in cover skills, he makes up for with his insane speed. Can’t start right away, but is an interesting special teams player with upside to develop into a stud slot CB after a couple years of good coaching. Also, his name is Javelin.
A lot of scouting reports say he’s not that great of a route runner and I just don’t see what they see at all. Dude is a sleuth with his feet. He’s dangerously elusive and fast both as a route runner and as a ball carrier. And he maybe isn’t a jump ball receiver but he freakin plucks the ball with such perfect timing that he still makes grabs with defenders all over him. I also saw him literally truck people like a runningback. He ran Grant Delpit over and kept going twice vs LSU.
The only reason I could see why Duvernay is falling so hard is because he often benefited from confused coverage as the slot receiver in trips formations / flood play calls; and he wasn’t drawing CB1s because they were all covering Collin Johnson for some stupid reason. But a good chunk of the times he went up against a man-on-man situation, he was just making them look stupid & putting them on skates.
I personally think he's rising more than he's falling in people's minds, and it's just that other WRs are rising at a larger rate, idk Also Big 12
We actually overdrafted him compared to the rest of the media. Walter football thinks he’s a 6th or 7th round pick he’s like the dudes 46th ranked WR
With the 123rd overall pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Geno Stone, S, Iowa. The Eagles have a lot of bodies at safety currently. They brought back Rodney McLeod on two-year contract despite having an underwhelming 2019 season (not to mention he shaved a year off his last contract to even remain on the team in 2019 after tearing his ACL back in 2018). They brought back Jalen Mills, who consistently struggled at corner, on a one-year contract and are moving him to safety (which he hasn't played at since college). They signed Will Parks to a cheap one-year contract to play a versatile role as the team's third safety. Behind them are Rudy Ford and Marcus Epps, neither of whom have shown anything that says they're worth keeping around. Suffice to say, the Eagles could stand to have a safety under contract for longer than a year or two. Stone is a physical player with good instincts and a nose for the football. While he might not be ready to be a starter on defense in year one, he should contribute right away on special teams and potentially be a force on the backend of this defense in year two should Mills and/or Parks not last beyond the 2020 season. From The Draft Network:
I’ve loved how this board has fallen rounds 2-5 I was so tempted to give up more picks in trades than I ended up giving. There are several times this next fourth rounder could’ve been gone but instead a player fell to me.
yeah, of the 7 players i had on my board for round 2, there are still two left. the downside is that i know this is too good to be true in real life
Walter is almost definitely the worst popular scout out there. Hes good at mocking picks though, but hes such a trash scout. I'd almost argue hes worse than the average armchair QB.
