lichtie23 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The 2021 NFL draft will the 86th in league history and is scheduled to be held from April 29th to May 1st in Cleveland, Ohio. Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence is widely expected to be the first player taken after he officially declared on Wednesday. Lawrence isn’t the only QB expected to go in the 1st round with Justin Fields (Ohio State), Zach Wilson (BYU) and Trey Lance (North Dakota State) all being tipped to be off the board by the end of the 1st night. With Ja’Marr Chase (LSU) and DeVonta Smith (Ohio State) leading the way the Wide Reciever position is pretty stacked this year with some mock drafts having 7 players of the position going in the opening round. On the defensive side of the ball cornerbacks Patrick Surtain (Alabama) and Caleb Farley (Virginia Tech) are highly touted and Michigan DL Kwity Paye expected to go high. A lot can change though with the combine and interviews still to take place. And of course there is always the chance of these guys doing something stupid like getting a DUI or punching a woman. “With the 1st pick the 2021 NFL draft the Jacksonville Jaguars select.......” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Could see the Colts trading up to take a QB if Rivers retires, possibly still doing so even if he comes back so they can sit him for 1 year. Possibly WFT also. Too early really to speculate bout anything else until Free Agency kinda tips the hat at what teams are thinking, and you get the usual stuff of somebody totally falling in love with a player that really shouldn't be going in the 1st.

lichtie23 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Saquon back next season as well? I hope so. There has been trade rumours and with Gettelman you never really know. I don’t imagine Tate will be back, Shepard is a good number 2 and Slayton is decent enough but none of them have the X factor you need to change a game. And the less said about Engram the better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the less said about Engram the better Can you believe I took Engram before Waller in one of my fantasy teams this year?! If the Giants can get some play makers they can definitely improve next season because their defence showed up well in games this season. What do you think of Jones as an aside? Him cramping up and tripping himself up after running like forever and still having open space in front of him was one of the regular season highlights! Do the Giants stick with him long term which will obviously influence their draft strategy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him cramping up and tripping himself up after running like forever and still having open space in front of him was one of the regular season highlights! Do the Giants stick with him long term which will obviously influence their draft strategy? He’s fine. Improving each year, ball security is his biggest issue. I’m happy enough with him as our starter as the organisation seem to be as well. We have a young and improving O-Line which should hopefully give him more time, also has the ability to make plays with his legs. Our draft strategy might hinge on if we can get Leonard Williams signed to a long term deal. Off the top of my head I don’t know how many top quality players will be available in free agency either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Receivers you say? Kenny Golladay Marvin Jones Jnr Juju Smith - Schuster Will Fuller Chris Godwin Allen Robinson Corey Davis All due to hit free agency in the summer. If we see the same receiver depth in this years draft as we did last season, it could make for some interesting moves. As a player do you want a superbowl ring or another multiple of $10m in the bank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz might head to the Colts, reunite with Frank Reich? We won't trade up for a QB. We'll either trade for one of the vets expected to be made available (Stafford, Watson, Ryan etc.) or role with Kyle Allen and Alex Smith (if he doesn't retire. Likely to take BPA when we pick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't "tank" from 9th to 6th for anything but a QB. Hurts will go back to what he is, a back-up. Eagles didn't expect Wentz's mind to be so fragile so they will be looking for a starting QB. I would love it if Eagles stuck with Hurts. Edited January 8, 2021 by Antiochas III 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic sign Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I'm always wrong, but I expect Dolphins to pick Penei Sewell, but think the majority of the fans want DeVonta Smith (excluding the minority of fans who want us to ditch Tua and pick a QB, any QB). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Suspect Lions will go for someone on defence for a 1st rounder given that's where the Lions have struggled. Should be an interesting draft for the Lions given the new GM was previously head of college scouting with the Rams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Every year I get weirdly emotionally invested in a couple of prospects. Last year it was CeeDee Lamb, was so annoyed he went to the fucking Cowboys. The year before it was Quinnen Williams, glad to see him come on a lot for the Jets this year because I thought he was the boi. This year's obsessions are Kyle Pitts and Micah Parsons. Phenomenal players who are destined to change the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Chargers really shouldn't be looking at anything other than OL, CB, or Edge in the 1st, so no doubt we'll take yet another skill position player just like every other time the OL has been farcically poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
