Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread

Packers have had a couple conversations with trevon moerig. He's a pure free safety with great instincts from center field. If you move Amos to linebacker, we get better at two spots. Barnes and Amos would be a nice pair.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I did one. Newsome was gone in round 1 and Radunz was gone in round 2. That would probably be the start of my dream draft. I did 4 rounds because I don't know the prospects well enough this year.

29. Jalen Mayfield OT, Michigan
62. Jabril Cox LB, LSU
92. Shaun Wade CB, Ohio State
135. Seth Williams WR, Auburn
142. Javian Hawkins RB, Louisville

Keep doing these and I think I would be happy with this.....

29: CB Greg Newsome II - Northwestern
62: OT Dillon Radunz - North Dakota State
92: DL Alim McNeill - NC State
135: LB Jabril Cox - LSU
142: WR Amari Rodgers - Clemson
173: CB Robert Rochell - Central Arkansas
177: WR Cornell Powell - Clemson
212: RB Kylin Hill - Mississippi State
218: OT Cole Van Lanen - Wisconsin
254: EDGE Chauncey Golston - Iowa

Kylin Hill at 212 would be awesome. I think he goes mid to late 3rd though. He likely would be available at the end of the 3rd when we pick though and that would be a nice value.

29: R1 P29 CB Gregory Newsome - Northwestern
62: R2 P30 DL Daviyon Nixon - Iowa
92: R3 P28 LB Dylan Moses - Alabama
135: R4 P30 RB Khalil Herbert - Virginia Tech
142: R4 P37 S Joshua Bledsoe - Mizzou
173: R5 P29 OT Spencer Brown - Northern Iowa
177: R5 P33 WR Whop Philyor - Indiana
212: R6 P29 LB KJ Britt - Auburn
218: R6 P35 QB Shane Buechele - SMU
254: R7 P28 WR Marquez Stevenson - Houston

Could have had Radunz in Round 1. Probably should have taken him. Wanted to see how things would fall. All the top ones were gone by the time the Packers picked in Round 2.

Five GMs in Columbia, SC for today's @GamecockFB pro-day to checkout likely first-round CB Jaycee Horn and dynamic WR Shi Smith:

BrainSaints Jeff Ireland
BrainDolphins Chris Grier
BrainBroncos George Paton
BrainPackers Brian Gutekunst
BrainTitans Jon Robinson

* Also Titans HC Mike Vrabel

Jaycee Horn is definitely a guy Packers would have to consider in Round 1 if he's available. Shi Smith probably 3-4 round. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/s...wide-receiver/

In order of need: BPA, BPA, BPA, BPA---but none of the QBs please.

This is always the struggle I have. I theoretically agree with you, and I think when GM's actually do this (Rodgers with Thompson, Dillon and Gary with Gutes) it tends to work out pretty well. But when I think about team needs, man, a DL to really shore up that line, or a shut down CB, would be so great.

But if you can get what you think will be, say, an All-World wide receiver versus an okay starting corner, you'd want the receiver, even if you need a corner more...

Interesting thing about Gutey is that he has traded up in the 1st round every year.

In 2018 he traded down from 14 to 27 and picked up Saints 2019 1st round pick. But then traded up from 27 to 18 and drafted Jaire Alexander.

In 2019 he had the 12th pick and the 30th pick. He stayed put with the 12th but then traded up from 30 to 21 and drafted Darnell Savage.

In 2020 he traded up from 30 to 26 and drafted Jordan Love.

[Bretsky]

I think the value picks for DT will be in the 3-4 rounds. Unless Gutey wants to maneuver so he gets a fairly early 2nd round pick. People here may shudder if Gutey goes DT in the 3rd round due to Khyri Thornton and Montravius Adams.

Nearly ALL of our 3rd round picks SUCK

We'd be happier if we traded up OR down year after year after year

That trade Back turned out Great; Davenport has underperformed for the Saints

49ers trade up to the 3rd pick in the draft. Dolphins get 49ers 1st round pick (#12), 3rd round comp pick, and 49ers 2022 and 2023 1st round picks.

Obviously 49ers taking a QB. Buh-bye Jimmy G.

[texaspackerbacker]

Two future firsts and a late 3rd just to move up from 12th to 3rd? Wow, that's a helluva lot. If I was a Dolphin fan, I'd be very very pleased.

Well. So much for the niners future. If they had moved into the 2 spot, I'd be concerned.

Smart move by Miami. They'll get a solid pick at 12 and have a stack of picks. Miami doesn't need to draft QB high in back to back years.

[RashanGary]

Jalen Mayfield could be the pick. Not a ton of experience but he’s a high upside player and a technician by nature. The Packers seem to do best with lineman who are technically sound. He seems like a Bryan Bulaga 2.0 but might take one year to develop as he’s a little inexperienced with a shorter college career. If I had to guess one player, I’d guess Mayfield.

[Joemailman]

Now Dolphins have traded up to the 6th pick. Eagles will get 12th pick of 2021 and a 2022 1st round pick from Dolphins.

Nice move for eagles. Jalen hurts gonna get his shot
