Picks 1-5: Back-to-Back-to-Back Former Teammates, & Multiple QB's | 2020 NFL Draft

Drafting this way is a new experience for all of us, but some things remain the same. First, the hugs, sharing that special moment with a player when he gets

draft

ed is a big highlight for me, my body won't miss those big bear hugs. but surely we will find other ways to have fun virtually. Second, I will miss the interaction I have with our fans during these three days. It's a

draft

tradition and one I really enjoy. Let's hear from you right now. Oh, come on guys. You guys can do better than that, come on, sure, come on, come on, you guys can do better than that, okay, keep up the good work, even the virtual boos are good, yeah, I can hear them from my basement, so keep up the good work.

The best part about the draft is that it restores hope and creates optimism because each team improves through the draft, so good luck to all the teams and let's get started. It is now my honor to announce that the first-ever virtual NFL draft is officially open in Cincinnati. the bengals are on the clock the first pick in the

2020

draft the cincinnati bengals select quarter

back

joe burrow lsu and there you see joe with mom and dad and you have to wonder what's going on in his mind right now remember when he came in to the transfer portal said Once again he wanted to go to Nebraska and Scott Frost, the coach said, "It's better than what we got." The answer is yes.

Hey, a lot of people have asked me why he made that big transition from 18 to 19. It was like that. Not just the system, he came in late before season 18, he didn't get a chance to get comfortable and was a little rusty, he hadn't played much football in three years, but what we saw this year was outstanding, how about the vision of field awareness you read the safety evacuation go to the middle of the field you have a vertical with justin jefferson from the slot you take that all day he identifies attacks and drops his ball beautifully in the bucket how about work? in the middle of the field, the anticipation and ball placement can't be better than that and then the toughness that we've all talked about that toughness with Joe Burrow his eyes don't fall under pressure he holds on, you take the big hit and you deliver a strike right on the money again working the middle of the field how about the rise of pocket awareness feel it keep your eyes on the field find that

back

seam and again beautiful ball placement if you want to critique it played with an all-star cast ? receivers, so every once in a while he would get away with a throw like this that he couldn't necessarily get away with at the next level, but Lewis outside of sheer top-notch arm strength.

I love everything about Joe Burrow with the second pick in

2020

. nfl draft, washington redskins pick, chasing young defensive end, ohio state, congratulations, Kate created chaos in every game I watched, even the game Clemson, the stat sheet may not show it, but I recorded five pressures in that game despite taking drops from three doubles, triples and team steps. moving away from him, he still impacted the game, this Washington Redskins team was the last in third down defense that will change with the third pick in the 2020 NFL draft, Detroit Lions select Jeff Okuda defensive back, Ohio State, and there you see the reaction in great Prairie Texas, where Jeff Okuda is the cornerback, he goes off the board.

This is what's really interesting. The top three

picks

in this draft at one point or another. They all played at Ohio State. What do you like most about what you see in Okuda's game? Well, Trey, I see. the size and length of someone who excels in press coverage, wants to play physical at the line of scrimmage, we saw him do it against some of the best wide receivers in this year's draft class, has the fluidity to be able to get open . he can drive the ball, he can find and play the ball, so I thought he was the most complete cornerback in this year's draft class and I honestly didn't think it was very close that the Detroit Lions would have to improve against the pass. and this was the best option for them to achieve it with the fourth pick in the 2020 nfl draft, new york giants select andrew thomas tackles georgia, it's not a surprise that he's an offensive lineman, but maybe it's a surprise that it's this offensive lineman, andrew thomas, yeah, trey. starting 41 games in the second, played left tackle, played right tackle, you know, everyone made these tackles in a different order for me, he was my fourth offensive tackle, but I feel like he has a very high floor, you know exactly what are you.

Coming in with him, he'll be able to uproot people in the run game and have a firm anchor and pass protection to hold him there. I didn't see elite recoverability, elite quickness or elite athleticism. I think they have a solid, stable player, but I thought there were better options on the board at the position right now if they were going to strike with the fifth pick in the 2020 nfl draft miami dolphins select quarterback from tua tungawa, alabama, well there it is which means that for the first time since kellen moore, who is now the offensive coordinator of the cowboys, through a pass, we will have a lefty who will throw a pass, well, he will have to anyway a year with a redshirt, even if we draft him, we will be I'm going to sit him out for a year, I think when people saw that training they said to themselves: "Well, maybe not, he looks very good, he looks explosive" .

Those are the things that she was built on in college, the quickness of her feet, the ability to redirect her feet towards gaining time in the pocket I think we all loved what we saw in that video uh but Mel is still a great ask what miami will do with him will they try to rush him onto the field or will they give him a year to recover and mel its interesting when you look at this division now tom brady is no longer there its wide open the bill has his quarterback with josh allen the jets have their quarterback and sam darnold and now the miami dolphins have their young quarterback to build the rest of their There is a lot of talk on the roster that they could make an entry here, but it doesn't go beyond one entry totally professional and professional security to be able to go out and receive more tackles and safeties.

You did all that to be able to continue building this program, it starts with the quarterback, that's where they went.
