Trade downs never happen. Certainly not for us in the first round. And I prefer not to trade down for an injury risk player. Stand pat, get the best O-linemen at our spot. No need to get Macc-like and think we're smarter than everyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Copernicus said: Andrew Thomas, OT Georgia is currently rated as the top OLINE prospect but a lot can change from now up to the draft. If we stay at pick #7 or somehow land a few picks closer I think we would be in prime position for a trade down, accumulate picks to truly have the resources to rebuild. Currently it looks like there are 3 QBs that are worthy of a top 5-7 pick (Burrows, Tagovaola, and Hebert). By the time the draft roles around and the QB hype is in full swing maybe even 1 or 2 more. We would be in prime position to trade with the Chargers, Raiders, Carolina, or anyone else that may be looking to land a potential franchise QB. If the top QBs go 1,2, and 3 (most likely through trades) , we will be in a great position to draft Chase Young and (hopefully) solve our edge rushing position or the top OLINE player or Wr. Giants are taking Chase Young at #2. Gettleman has never traded down. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I think Thomas is gone before we pick. Chase Young is going to hurt. He will be the next super star Edge rusher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, another Adams for this board to be divided on. Having one goes swimmingly, can only imagine having two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's shared before, but I'm too lazy to search ? I like Thomas a lot. Plenty of people here know more about evaluating OL play than I do, so I will not get into comprison of Thomas v Wirfs or Wills. I only know from watching every one of his games for the last two years, he is a really really good pass blocker. As much as Jake Fromm struggled this year, it had nothing to do with pressure from the blind side. Thomas had that locked up all year. Seems better as a pass blocker than run blocker, Moves well for such a big guy. By most counts, a really good kid who has never had a hint of trouble in his 3 seasons at UGA. Not sure if he will be 1,2 or 3 OT off the board. Just that if we come out of this draft with Andrew Thomas, I will be very happy. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the better LT prospects to come out in awhile, IMO.

Xtina Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 4 hours ago, jetstream23 said: Love it. If Thomas is there at #7 we have to take him. I saw the Mock as well. McShay Edge rusher Chase Young, and WRs Jeudy and Lamb both gone before the Jets pick so Thomas becomes a no-brainer. It's only if those other guys are still there does a debate even take place....although I'd still probably take Thomas. The question is if Thomas is gone. Do you reach and take another OLineman at #7 who is more of a #12-20 prospect, or do you "take what the Draft gives you" at WR and then come back for OLine in Rounds 2 and 3? Reach for an OL - if they’re still there. CBS mock has them all going before then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @maury77 said, he played on Tua’s blindside and if you compare him to his teammate Leatherwood, he’s the better athlete and the better NFL prospect IMO.

We all get it. But you absolutely have to consider players like cee dee lamb or Jerry jeudy in the first. Especially if Wirfs and Thomas are off the board. Lamb reminds me a little bit of D-Hop, and that would be hard to pass up IMO.

What I like most about Wills is his punch. He seems to frequently hit it at almost full extension and he absolutely stones motherf*ckers when he connects. He's twitchy for a big guy.
