2020 NFL Draft Thread

I'm really surprised they took Zuniga after getting burned on Polite last year.

Zuniga is not Polite, and I think the coaches warn them about polite. Actually Zuniga is the exact opposite of Polite. Zuniga is a team player who moved to the inside position because they needed him to. he didn't get highlighted at the rush position even though that's his natural position (outside linebacker). He didn't demand to be the showboat. Hell, even when Polite was gifted the rush position, he took place off if he wasn't getting a blitz call.

I believe there's a pretty good chance doing a Zuniga will succeed.

He is truly an alltime great Gator.

I remember looking at him lining up a strong safety and thinking what in the hell are they doing. Damn did he prove any doubter wrong.

so fundamentally solid and he always came up huge in big games. we could use 5 Ahmad Blacks to put in our secondary right now.

His pick against Oklahoma was one of the most jaw dropping plays in Gator history. Here’s actual footage of Sam Bradford’s reaction.

Tyrie Cleveland sneaks into the bottom of the 7th round. 3 WRs!!! We're back, baby!!!

Jefferson, Cleveland, and Swain should be grateful Trask was their QB last year. With Franks, who knows what kind of tape they’d have for the scouts.

I think Zuniga will do well also, just pointing out that the Jets got burned on a UF edge rusher the year before. Zuniga killed the combine, which shows he worked hard getting ready - the exact opposite of what Polite did, supposedly had one of the worst combines "in history" (according to some of the analysts).

I think Polite is on the Rams practice squad, or he was at the end of the season. What a colossal bust.

4 down, 3 to go? Time for it to get interesting.

I shoulda bet the over........

At least I was right about Swain getting picked.

 

[SeabeeGator]

How many of our guys got drafted?

Happy for all of our guys . I think Freddie is a sixth round steal . Seahawks just got themselves Golden Tate 2.0. Solid route runner with great hands .

 

[Gator By Marriage]

How many of our guys got drafted?

Seven: Henderson, Jefferson, Zuniga, Greenard, Perine, Swain, & Cleveland.

Not bad. Especially on the offensive side. Lots of WRs going considering they played in a HS, spread it around offense that the NFL is clearly not interested in.

Adam Shuler signed as an UDFA w/ Arizona.

Surprisingly, Thaddeus Moss went undrafted (TE out of LSU, Randy's son). He signed as an UDFA w/ the Skins. Would have given LSU 15 draft picks.

Townsend to Kansas City, Hammond to Jacksonville

Chiefs Kingdom? Is that a thing? Like some lame version of Gator Nation?

You won’t hear me defending WM or McElwain very often, but Robinson and AC could’ve broken that snap if not for their own stupidity and/or the Grier suspension. College production wasn’t ever going to be great...

kind of hard to see how you're defending McElwain, Mullens, or chimp with this.

saying they might have been able to overcome lack of production in our shttty offenses via enough performance at the combine isn't really excusing our Godawful string of coaches.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I wouldn't be surprised if perine was a solid pro. I don't think I'd expect him to be the bell cow.but he could definitely be a very solid 3rd down guy and back up.

Terry Jackson made a lot of money being that guy, third-down back, good enough runner, good hands as a receiver, good blocker, good on special teams.

 

[BMF]

First time since 1978 UF had 3 WR's taken in one draft. That's a bit surprising.

This is impressive too:
