Re: 2020 NFL DRAFT OFFICIAL thread
Don't like that pick one bit. One of the only picks we could have made given how the draft shook out that I would have been unhappy with. Kinlaw looks like he'll be a good player. Maybe even a great player. But he's a DT. It's not an impact position, unless you're Aaron Donald. They made the right call to let Buckner go, and then they just replace him with a lesser version. It's a lateral move, at best, when they needed to make a move to improve the team.
We've now thrown five of the past six high first round picks at the DL. FOUR of them for interior DL. And we traded a second round pick and gave big money at the position. It's ridiculous. DL was still a position of strength on this team. The cupboard is pretty bare at WR, OT could be a HUGE issue next year, and CB could be an even bigger one. I had heard the rumors that the FO felt we needed a DL, and prayed it was just blowing smoke. Apparently not. Newsflash: it's not the 1990s. Modern NFL is won on the edges, not in the trenches. You can justify DE and OT, but interior DL just isn't how you win games unless the opposing QB keeps throwing right into the DT's arm.

Re: 2020 NFL DRAFT OFFICIAL thread
They just gave Cooper $20 million per.
They have to pay Dak and they paid Elliot last year.
Probably going to have to cut Elliot at some point or not re-sign Gallop.
Or maybe not keep Cooper more than 3-4 seasons on that big contract.

We need a young corner badly bro. I hope we trade back once more to get a 2nd and a 3rd.
The drop off after Terrell at CB is huge IMO.
I'm hoping for DL AJ Epenesa or OLT Ezra Cleveland. Cleveland is underrated; I think he could step in at LT right away.

Taking Epenesa would be insane. They'd have Armstead, Ford, and Epenesa basically splitting snaps. And Thomas would never see the field (which is probably just as well, but he's a very high pick who is still on the roster).

Great points. Which is why I gave that pick a B minus grade.

Re: 2020 NFL DRAFT OFFICIAL thread
My guess is we trade #31 for more picks. Lynch must be confident that he can get an OT, WR, and CB in the later rounds.

You can never have too many great DL.

I would have much rather take Espenesa at a later pick / round than pick Kinlaw with the 14th pick. In that scene We should have gone Lamb and then Espenesa.

Re: 2020 NFL DRAFT OFFICIAL thread
I really like the Kinlaw pick and picking up a 4th rounder to do it is a no-brainer. Once Ruggs was off the board that made Kinlaw the choice for me. We absolutely needed to replace Buckner and now we have more insurance with Armstead being able to move outside if/when Ford gets hurt. Kinlaw should excel with the guys we have playing next to him.
