Official 2021 NFL Draft Thread

[red]

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.

and swapping of this years firsts

so they get 3 firsts and a 3rd for the #3 pick

hell of a haul for the fins

sometimes it really pays to have a bad year every now and then

QB, OL and WR are deep this year. Looks like OL is a really good possibility in R1

i don't know if i'd go OL in the first. we've had so much luck over the years drafting those guys in later rounds

bulaga ang jenkins are the two that went in the first 2 rounds, all the others were mid rounders

same for D-line

True. OT is a little tougher to find. We need a lucky class, a whole bunch of hits. Let's hope.

We could use some luck

I kind of think Gooters is going to trade up a get a CB he really likes...maybe Newsome. We don't value ILB's and I assume we'll continue to Ride our MVP to make the receivers better so I'm not expecting a high round WR either.

I think we stock up on CB's, OL, and DL and then use the coin toss mid to late rounds for help at WR and/or RB.

I've read some draft projections showing Micah Parsons slipping to us. He would make a positive impact from day one. I done believe he will fall that far, but if he did. Wow what a steal that would be.

Not valuing ILbs is getting weird. So many of the good defenses have them, all of the good defenses. It's bizarre.

End of the day it still has to be the BPA. If that doesn't coincide with a perceived need so be it. I laid it out once before. Name me a position we couldn't use an impact player at. If the best player left when we pick is clearly a XYZ, take him....unless its a QB.

QB. Te (short of hof level). Rb.
This may sound ridiculous after last off season but after those 3 it is we that we least need an impact player. The edge rusher.
That is a great list of not or low need. And I mean need not want.

For the first time in many, many years I'm just not into the draft. Last year's tremendously underwhelming one took the starch out of my enthusiasm.

Not after his Pro Day. Dude ran a 4.39.

I completely agree ; you look at some of the dominant defenses....many have speed and a playmaker it ILB.

[smuggler]

Yeah it's something that may change with the new DC though. I know it's not acknowledged, but GMs are working to get players that can fulfill coaching gameplans. Different DC, different gameplan, perhaps.

last year about this time, i was saying that i would have been fine drafting anything in the first round as long as it was a QB and i think RB.

we traded up for a QB in the first and drafted a RB in the second

i lost all faith in the packers process after that

you and me have been screaming for taking a dominate ILB in the first for god knows how many years now, at least a decade it feels like. i remember screaming for us to take ahmad brooks in the 2006 Supplemental draft

its just not gonna happen

As the resident homer, I am starting to find this a tad perplexing. Why undervalue a spot so hard, like 4th round is highest we would take an ILB. I can see center because 4tg round centers are usually good. But 4th round ILBs are usually garbage. Rounds 1-3 usually gets the good ones.
