The "It's-later-than-you-think" 2021 Mock Draft Thread
-
Speed kills..
Meanwhile... took FanSpeak's mock out for a spin using DraftTek's rankings (you chose from about a half dozen) and rankings still vary widely... to say the least.
- First surprise was my first pick: Barmore still there at #26.
- An even bigger surprise with Collins falling to Pick 59... I took him as my Will and situational MG bookend.
- Hufanga at #89 is a name from my DraftNetwork mocks; he had a higher ranking here. He can play both Safety spots, but seems headed for FS.
- Next came a LB pair... tsun's McGrone and tOSU's Werner... I think I'll assign them to be roommates... McGrone will be my MIKE while Werner works mostly as my SAM, but backs up both other LB roles.
- Another Safety at #129, and one I think I scouted last year... at any rate he's a 6'0, 200#, SS candidate with some FS potential and a ton of ST potential.
- A pair of WRs next, a true Mutt & Jeff (look it up kids) pair... Eskridge is a 5'9, 190# ankle-breaker while Grimes is 6'4, 215# with sub-4-4 speed (estimated).
- Wells is a big TE, 6'4, 250# I know nothing about other than he went to TCU and they pass a lot... I was just ready for the mock to be over and there wasn't a QB/RB/IOL/OT I was remotely interested in...
Both tia's CB, Vincent, and my QB, Mond were taken a couple slots before I was poised to take them. Both were dipped out of the pile well above their ranking. Just made me look at more players I'd not read about. So my file and list of players to scout is growing nicely.
-
I don't think Collins will be there in the 2nd round either. He would be more likely to go even before our first pick IMO.

Dearest Gipper,
Since I was several weeks ahead of the experts in calling that Fields being the lock at #2 was shaky and given Wilson's tape the speculation would start after the NU game.... Does this make me an "expert"?
-
If I recall, you actually said that Fields could drop out the top half of the first round. And all I said was that most of the "experts" and that most mock drafts still had him in the Top 5. Which they may still do. I have not checked lately. I also said don't be surprised if Zach Wilson jumps over Fields, not because Fields would be "demoted" its just that people would begin to see how good Wilson could be.. I also said that if you think about it, after Lawrence, the next team that needed a QB may not be until pick 9 with Carolina....if NYJ decided to stick with Darnold.
A lot of that has changed now. Lions want to move Stafford, so they at 7 will be in the market (I think that is where Kiper has Fields going). Could Philly at 6 want a QB also? And Kiper has the Falcons taking Wilson at #4. I had no inkling that ATL might have wanted to do that....but it makes some sense. New GM, new coach....they may want a new QB...like Detroit.
-
I’ll be shocked if Fields is outside of the Top 10.
You have his hometown team at 4.Maybe Philly
Carolina
Detroit
Possibly Denver.
Maybe NE moves up.
He needs time - he could have used some more game reps but there is no denying the guy has some tools.

I thought you were a DraftTek disciple?

Not sure Imatorbhebhe will be there. I would think he goes way way before that. WR is more important then Db at this point

Do you think Browning has the goods to be a Mike at the next level?

Writeup on Browning - "his strengths can't be taught and his weaknesses appear correctable". Never a bad thing to grab a year's #1 LB [of the class going into college]

Even if he did not develop in college?
He's physically gifted to be sure, but lesser athletes out produced him at tOSU... and not by a little.

Based on everything we have read about Woods and the D he would like to run, I don't think a "mike" is what we are going to be looking for. Why draft a player high who you are probably going to march off the field 40% of the time?

At least one of these WR should be worth keeping.. last two have elite athleticism to improve ST/backup spots
26. Zaven Collins LB, Tulsa
58. Jevon Holland S, Oregon
89. Israel Mukuamu CB, South Carolina
91. Marvin Wilson IDL, Florida State
110. Patrick Jones II EDGE, Pittsburgh
130. Josh Imatorbhebhe WR, Illinois
168. Austin Watkins WR, UAB
206. Chris Rumph II EDGE, Duke
250. Adam Anderson LB, Georgia -

One starter at S, at least 2 and possibly 3 LB starters.. Also bit of a homer pick but Farrell would be our best blocking TE. Neal was talked about as a first-rounder last season.

If so, wow... Now I feel like I'm getting older.

Yup, he's the fullback's son!
-
so, I've been working on my mock draft. It's tough. I think the first pick for the Browns would be Zaven Collins, but I really believe
he's gone by #26....
