2020 NFL Draft Thread

Is Hofricther a bad punter or you just think he shouldn't get drafted since he's a punter?

I think you can get a good punter from UDFAs. Hofrichter did average 43 yards a punt in 2019 however,

I generally agree. Just curious. I don't really have a prob with taking a punter mid-late 7th round if there's no one else you have your eye on. (Although that seems to betray a lack of imagination on the GM's part.) Pats taking a place-kicker in the 4th or 5th or whenever seems dumb to me though. Although the last time they drafted a PK it worked out. The question is always though, do you HAVE to use a draft pick?

In 1985 the Cardinals drafted a kicker from UCLA named John Lee in the 1st round He got a hip injury and never played a regular season game for the Cardinals

You don't, but if you sign UDFAs without using all of your picks, it doesn't make a ton of sense.

I would much rather had the Falcons draft Auburn DT Nick Coe with that 7th round draft pick.

Close. Lee was at the top of the 2nd round. Janikowski was drafted 17th overall and was an average kicker.

Broncos get one of the highest grades. Chiefs, Raiders, and Chargers are among the lowest. That's what I like to see

Belichick always has so many that he can afford to throw one at a perceived problem area. He’s always had a franchise QB to soften any misses in his Pats tenure tho...so new territory.

Bill O’Brien getting pissed and dropping f bombs was the highlight of the night.

Apparently it's because the Lions last minute backed out of a deal to trade for that pick.

It will be interesting if Bill Belichick decides to retire when the Patriots go 9-7 in 2020 and don't make the AFC Playoffs.

He's almost 70. It wouldn't surprise me just because of his age.

It would be. Doubt it tho. I think ego is the motivation to keep on going. Would want to prove it was primarily him that delivered the championships imo. Plus the guy is football and what else?

I think if he goes 9-7 with Stidham everybody is going to talk about what a fkn legend he is. He's got his eyes set on 2021 and 2022. I don't think he's that concerned about 2020.

Funny story about that...

He’s not retiring until he surpasses Shula for the most all time wins.

Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore got drafted by the Cowboys as well as being drafted by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Not too bad for a Canadian who went to Oklahoma.

That type of stuff is why the Cardinals were a joke for so long.
