The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread

Another FA choice is to get a good TE. Another tough decision will be to bring in a kicker FA for a competition next TC.

The draft will be used first for the QB, then the OL. If Kyle Smith is the GM, he has been able to bring in rookie STARTERS from the lower draft picks. Keep it up!!

I’m certainly welcomed to add more talent at WR and thought coming into the season Terry was a good WR and not elite, no 1...so this year has changed my mind. I think Terry has bumped his game and established himself as the No 1...I feel now with still many holes across the team, that getting a complimentary talent to Terry should be the path.

Certainly someone with more speed...Robby Anderson or Curtis Samuel would fit that bill. I also prefer someone who is more an outside WR (Anderson, Robinson) than slot guy (Godwin, Golloday).

Another reason I see not to spend the super elite money like Robinson will demand and Cooper got last year is offense scheme is spreading the ball around more...Cam Sims, Sims jr, Wright, etc are all getting looks and developing.

I'd be pretty damn happy with this draft. I go back and forth on who I like more out of Lance and Wilson. As of now, I like Lance more.

9: R1 P9 - QB Trey Lance - North Dakota State
41: R2 P9 - OT Christian Darrisaw - Virginia Tech
73: R3 P9 - LB Charles Snowden - UVA
77: R3 P13 - LB Dylan Moses - Alabama
111: R4 P9 - S Damar Hamilin - Pittsburgh
150: R5 P9 - TE Chase Allen - Iowa State
231: R7 P9 - WR Shi Smith - South Carolina
239: R7 P17 - TE Jamal Pettigrew - LSU

Just say no to Lance.

[AnonEmouse]

Agreed, based on current sample size he's an unknown. Could be Haskins mk 2 and right now not a high 1st rounder. I'm also a little concerned that he decided to skip the 21 spring season in favour of the draft; I get the logic, but personally I'd want a better body of f work, especially recent, to bring to the table. Not least because his one game played since last season wasn't exactly his best work!

But likewise it's still too early to project anyone especially given the impact of Covid, so...

I'd take Lance over any OSU QBs.


I like the path of building around Smith for a couple years.

Devonta Smith, who I mentioned before went INSANE this week. 219 yards and 3 TDs in the first half against LSU.

Get him beside Terry.

There are a lot of mocks that have the WFT taking Lance, but I'm definitely not taking him over Fields, and I'm not sold on Bison QBs either at this point.

Good thing is after pick 1 or 2, most of those mock drafts are BS...

Just say no to Lance...

[Chico23231]

I’m not sold on fields or lance. Trask or Wilson have me intrigued

[sdskinsfan2001]

I watched BYU this weekend but Coastal Carolina hogged the ball all game, so I don't think Wilson was able to get in as good as a rhythm as usual. Still had some impressive throws. They play SDSU next, I'll be watching that one too. Should get more ToP that game. I don't think he is as big as his bio. Looks more like 6'1 or so to me. Not 6'3.

12: R1 P12 - TE Kyle Pitts - Florida
44: R2 P12 - LB Nick Bolton - Missouri
76: R3 P12 - OT Rashawn Slater - Northwestern
77: R3 P13 - QB Mac Jones - Alabama
114: R4 P12 - WR Damonte Coxie - Memphis
153: R5 P12 - S Damar Hamlin - Pitt
234: R7 P12 - OT Landon Young - Kentucky
240: R7 P18 - CB Dicaprio Bootle - Nebraska

I would be shocked if Slater and Jones are available in round 3.

I am not sold on Lance. Think I'd like Wilson or Trask (might be able to get him the 2nd round) and get a LT in the 1'st....

Me too. Agree 100%. But when doing a mock draft, you have to pick out of who is available. Not really a way to do a mock draft if you won't pick someone because you don't think it will be realistic at that pick. Some guys go seemingly way too high and visa-versa.

There is no way in hell you draft Lance in the first round. Just no way.

Under no circumstances should the front office count on Smith as a starter for next year. He can't make plays out of the pocket like he use to. He isn't anywhere close to where he was in KC. You have to draft his replacement and can't get caught up in the comeback story.
