How High Could Kinlaw Go?
Yeah, I'm just now starting to look at these guys, but after a couple of days of review, Kinlaw strikes me as that player we'll laugh about about in April: "Remember when some of the earlier mocks had him dropping to 25?"
“We had to use boiled water to take showers growing up and the water spigot just to drink.” On free food at JUCO, “I didn’t eat the first two days, until I found out it was free. Then I couldn’t stop after that.”
He was terrific.
I see Chris Jones 2.0 here. Call me crazy but this kid profiles as a monster if he can learn to play with little lower pad level. Shoot. He can probably stand up as a 3T instead of putting his hand in the dirt and still cause nightmares. Armstead might be his floor comparison.
For me Young, Burrows, Simmons and Kinlaw are virtually guaranteed Blue Chip performers in the NFL. And there's probably 3 WRs who could end up as Top 10 Receivers in the League sooner than later. Some really nice Tackles too.
DE/Edge guys and CBs have nice players. The CB Class is definitely deep. But Okuda doesn't blow me away. Much prefer a 3rd Round CB as I don't see those guys being all that big of a dropoff from the earlier round kids this year. Feel the same about OG. There are some potential answers at 3T in the 2nd and 3rd.
But at the end of the day I truly believe Kinlaw helps the entire team more than any other pick besides Joe or Tua.
love the size...but not that impressed with the Bama game tape.

He made a few nice plays, but was a non-factor on (way) too many, imo.
Motor? (might have been hot/humid that afternoon)
Wasn't Jaylen Holmes supposed to be our project 3T? Whatever happened with that. It seems as though he was always in the dog house.

just watched DT Derrick Brown (Auburn) vs Bama for comparison.
Brown looked no better than Kinlaw.

Watching both projected first round DT's (Kinlaw & Brown) makes me want
OG Deonte Brown (65 Bama). He stoned both DT's for most of both games.
@"BarrNone55" said: Becton @_#4...I think I found someone who likes him more than me. Wow...Just saw a PFF ranking that had him at #67. But they don't grade or rank players like NFL draft folks do. I don't think they consider size, length, footwork, hands, or how a player projects as a pro.

And they have 2 future 1st Round Tackles as well. That Lone was loaded!
@"BarrNone55" said:I highly doubt he gets to #25. People can bash him for playing down to some lower level competition, but he lit up his high profile matchups and has all the traits you want inside. Top 15 pick but I could even see the right 43 team taking him in the top 10. But to go that high it'd have to be more of a perfect scheme/need fit.yesQuote Tweet· 19mDaniel Jeremiah2020 Mock Draft 1.0 http://nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001097592/article/daniel-jeremiah-2020-nfl-mock-draft-10-four-qbs-in-top-15
Good to see you post, Geoff. Did you escape your captors?
I don't think he calls this far either. DJ did mention he based his mock on what he is hearing around the league. His top 50 is on what he's seen.

I always seem to wiggle my way out around the off-season. Not surprised by his top 50, DJ is probably the best in the business ranking without bias.

Yup good to see you Geoff!!
I love DJ's mock but Minnesota won't sniff him IMO. I could maybe see him falling to 20 of there's a run on Tackles and WRs. If he did I would try to move up and get him.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the top WR talent drop down the board. It is so deep that teams in the top-15 are likely going pass in round-1 to get a top 3 player at other positions of need. They can circle back in round 2 and still get a WR with a round 1 grade.

LMAO.
