Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread

[RashanGary]

You can't lose Jones, Williams, Lindsley, Preston, Kirksey and King due to covid cap issues and expect to be fine.

Tonyan, Lizard, Dillon, Josh Jackson, Gary, Keke, Savage, Runyan, Deguara, Dafney, Sullivan, Barnes, Martin and others will have to take nice steps forward to account for all of that roster turn over. It's possible to stay about the same with some breaks. Outside of pure luck, I don't see us getting much better though.

Bakh should be back in October. Probably never 100% next year. Ugh, just not an ideal start to 2021 with the covid cap and the injury to one of our top 3 or 4 players

Almost every team is in the same boat, no?

Most of the teams on the low end have at least one or more player they need to deal with. I don't think there are more than a handful of teams flush with space.

Jackson has issues man. You guys don’t have a clue!

True. It will be weird to see play out. The team's with a ton of space should get better. The team's with no space worse.

The Giants are a team I follow because of my son. They have easy cuts to open up space. Outside of Kirksey and Preston, our cuts are harder to make with higher dead space or at least solid players who are harder to cut with dead space. The Giants and I'm sure a couple of others have easier cuts. Either trash like solder or low dead space like Tate. Then they're poised for signing some discounts. I don't see a situation where the Packers can make space for discount signings. It's not as bad as Philly and New Orleans but not as nice as over half of the teams who either have space or can make easy space.

Jacksonville and Miami could get better really quickly.

Looking at Devante’s number Receiver should probably be moved to the top of the list!! Gute needs to get his own players.

The Packers were gonna lose all these guys anyways. Saving 10 million did nothing for them!!! They should of went “All-In”!!!!!

[GB-Brandon]

We’re not getting Eskridge or Stevenson in the 3rd round. Not a chance where we pick. One of them(More Likely Stevenson) might fall to us in 2nd. Eskridge is flying up boards. Stevenson doing well for himself too.

As originally thought it might take a trade up in 2nd to secure one. Kadarius Toney is going in 1st.

Those are really the three guys I have been fixated on.

I say AGAIN, we do NOT need to draft a WR anytime early in the draft.

D’WAYNE ESKRIDGE (PROSPECT PROFILE)
Any receiver who exits Mobile as more of a folk hero than draft prospect is worth being a bit leery of, but Eskridge certainly doesn’t feel like fool’s gold. A few years back it was Braxton Miller who was regarded as the belle of the ball for the week. Penny Hart had a few days in the sun as a Senior Bowl darling, too. But Eskridge has more experience running routes than Miller did, he’s more explosive than both, and he’s been more dominant. This is a legit weapon and he’s only going to get better. How high is the ceiling? I’m not ready to suggest he’ll end up being a first-round pick, but any dreams you had of securing Eskridge in the middle rounds are likely gone. With how well he’s won his routes against anyone who has tried to cover him, these separation skills and run after catch potential are going to be in high demand.

Eskridge is one of the biggest winners of the week already, regardless of position.

LOL!! I see 3 blocked brandon posts followed by this. I wonder what was in those posts

Whether FA or draft they have no choice with how contracts and roster stack up with Adams projected value unless they are just completely incompetent.

And they are somewhat incompetent so who knows!!!

A couple notable risers @ Senior Bowl.

Houston IDL “5 Tech” Payton Turner

Aaron Robinson “Corner” Central Florida
