2020 Rookies! First look

[Guest]

Well, at least I can say my first round pick went better than at least one person's. :)

Didn't have a 1st round pick this year so we didn't really get any star players, but we did okay overall.

2.5 - Gregory - Rich will be moved to TE in hopes that his route running and avoid drops makes him a solid receiver. He's only 5'11 though so only time will tell if we took our 67/67 FB and wrecked him.

2.28 - Conley - A run blocking machine with great endurance who will probably end up as our long snapper.

3.8 - Jacomy - Will make the team as the 3rd RB, maybe 2nd after pre-season is over and done with.

3.28 - Connell - After the Gregory switch to TE Connell will be the 2nd string FB and hopefully the future starter. He's a beast on 3rd down running and has the potential to be a very good pass/run blocker.

4.7 - Heflin - Morris is being moved to LG and will start the next preseason game just to see what he can do. He has a chance to be a powerful run blocker but his blocking strength in minimal.

5.6 - Turner - Doesn't have the skill set for any type of career in the OSFL.

6.5 - Schroeder - The guy has a chance to be a great M2M cover corner but that's about it. His run defense is whiff first, see if the coach saw it later.

7.8 - Velthoen - A decent late round pick who might turn into a decent backup.

Sifting through my DRAFT RUBBLE:

#1 Moe Zimmerman 18/23 -> 20/25 : That's not gonna do it. :(
#2 R. Wickes 32/63 -> 35/58 : Not going to end up being Sherdrick's successor.
#3 B. Wilkins 20/49 -> 22/48: GREAT SUCCESS, well, for this draft at least.
#4 J. Freitag 22/47 -> 20/37: I should have cut this guy already.
#5 G. Bustamente 22/51 -> 25/45: He has "bust" in his name, I should've known better!

There was also an OT who went from 15 potential to 6 potential late in this draft. :)
