znModeratorBest of luck to these two tomorrow night! If I had it my way they would both be 1st ballot HOFers. Unfortunately it’s likely 1 of the 2 will be left out this year, but seeing how BOTH men made semi finalist this year, it gives me hope that they both will be in the HOF very soon! pic.twitter.com/kT6N3Ab4kc

znModeratorfrom PFF: 2020 NFL Draft Position Rankings: Interior Offensive Linemen
https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2020-nfl-draft-position-rankings-interior-offensive-linemen
This is the year to need offensive line help. While the tackle class is stacked with some elite talent, the interior class is lighter at the top but goes deeper in terms of quality. While tackle-to-guard converts are popular in the NFL for interior linemen, only two such players made our top 10, as this class is chocked full of true guards and centers.
from PFF: 2020 NFL Draft Position Rankings: Offensive Tackles
This is the class of offensive tackles that NFL teams have been champing at the bit for. Seemingly every team in the league could use an upgrade at one or more of their starting tackle spots. Expect the top-five names to come off boards very early come April as and for teams to continue to reach for that second tier throughout Day 2.

here’s a look at how pff ranked the rams olinemen (overall, pass pro, run blocking) and the niners olinemen… the drop-off by whit, hav and blythe was staggering when compared to last season’s rankings.
looking at the niners olinemen grades, they weren’t particularly stout in pass pro according to pff, which shanny apparently adjusted for given garoppolo ranked 3rd in shortest time to throw and 7th in shortest average depth of pass, i.e. the niners got rid of the ball quickly on pass plays… looking at the niners’ run blocking numbers, they ranked pretty well for the most part, but you have to wonder how much they benefited from having a fb on the field 35% of the time and an extra tight end on the field 35% of the time, a lot i would imagine.

znModerator@PFF went back and graded this game. On the PFF NFL Podcast this week, @PFF_Sam said:
"Derrick Thomas was also absurd in that game. He had a win rate in terms of pressures of 40%. 40. It's just mind-bending. 30 is insane. 40. You shouldn't even be able to do that." https://t.co/bBJkuMlZ2r

znModeratorfrom https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2020/01/30/nfl-rams-jalen-ramsey-aaron-donald-defense/
Aaron Donald loves having Ramsey roaming the secondary, saying he helps everyone else on defense – especially the pass rushers.
“It was like he was there for a year or two already,” Donald said of how Ramsey fit in the defense, on ESPN’s Golic and Wingo. “He’s one heck of a football player. He’s one of the best at what he does at his position. Adding him to the mix with the players that we’ve got, it was definitely a plus for us. We lost two good corners – that was hurting, we were worried about that – but we brought another good one in, so the things you’re able to do with him and the way we use him to help us as far as pass rushers. He can lock up one side of the field and guard the best wide receivers on the field. So when you’ve got a guy like that, he tends to help the defensive line make some plays, too. Adding him to the mix was a big plus for us.”

znModeratorSince taking over as the @Chiefs starting QB last season, Patrick Mahomes has 22 passing TD "on the run" (8+ MPH), 7 more than the next closest QBs (Watson & Winston).
Mahomes has already thrown 4 TDs on the run this postseason (3 vs HOU, 1 vs TEN).#SBLIV | #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/677MiKz21k

==Fun fact!
49ers are averaging 235.5 ypg rushing in two playoff games.
That's the best for any team in the @NFL Playoffs (min. 2 games) since the 1941 Bears.

znModeratorSullivan calls McVay “the best coach I’ve ever played for, in any sport at any level.” He cheered for the Rams in 2019 and took no joy in their underachievement, much of which was attributable to the poor early-season play by the offensive line.
znModeratorJohn Sullivan wanted to return to the Rams in 2019, even if it meant being a backup center. It didn't work out. The Rams moved on and so did Sullivan, who completely changed his lifestyle and lost 80 pounds. I got his story here:https://t.co/FIXXcJvJYF

znModeratorSam Monson@PFF_Sam
Mahomes is in that “what exactly is the game plan?” pantheon right now.He can kill a defense in so many ways, and has the highest-graded postseason we have ever seen from a QB.
Most players you at least know what you SHOULD do against them. Mahomes I don’t know if you do.
znModeratorDaniel Jeremiah@MoveTheSticks
Team building thought for those in the AFC: KC, BAL and HOU have young QB’s surrounded by track teams. You better get faster on defense if you want to compete for the next decade.

znModeratorfrom https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2020/01/28/nfl-draft-rams-compensatory-pick-2020/
the Rams are only projected to receive one compensatory pick in the 2020 draft for their losses last offseason. According to Over The Cap, that pick will come in the fourth round. Their other fourth-rounder was canceled out by the addition of Clay Matthews.
