The 2021 NFL Draft Thread - Reactions, Analysis & Grumblings!!

[boochluke]

I'm definitely in on Zaven Colliins and Davis. Nice call.

Bateman to Baltimore makes me sad

[dustyroads]

Well looks like pretty much everyone was disappointed. Giants WR, Steelers RB, SF non-Fields QB, Bateman to Balt, ETN went to Jax with Robinson... I wouldn't say it was a terrible first round for dynasty, but it certainly wasn't one I think people were hoping for. And at this point, unless Williams lands in some magical situation, I don't see how the nonSF 1.01 isn't locked on either Chase or Harris.

Urban Meyer has already said Etienne is their "third down back"

Really?

Most teams are using more than one RB nowadays, so that part makes sense to me. Not sure why you pick a 3rd down guy in the 1st though.

There's no way you use a 1st round pick on a RB to play a small part of NFL games. The purpose of drafting him in the first round and not waiting to the 2.01 pick which they also own, is so that you can use your 5th year option on him.

There's no way he's a third down back. This pick was a terrible one for the Jags.

[McCafsteez]

Any players you don't want to see being drafted by an organization?

I'll start:

1) Just traded for Bridgewater so I am hoping DEN doesn't spend their premium 1st on a QB.
2) Chase to the Bengals. Just think there are more ideal spots for him if he is able to fall a little bit.
3) Bears staying put at pick 20. As a Bears fan, I would love to see them move up to grab a QB depending on price.

Seconded that I would like the Bears to stay put and not mortgage any more future for a QB here. We are literally in the situation we are now because of doing EXACTLY that. Play it straight, if we suck like we know we can, we should have a pretty good pick next year (Like when we had #3 overall, which should have just been Watson, rather than the ridiculous trade up to #2 for Trubisky... Seriously has to be one of the most assinine trades in NFL history.)

Pace and Nagy are more than likely on the hot seat. If they move up and grab a QB they can make the argument that they need another year to develop their pick. I don't know...if Fields is there around pick 10 and it doesn't break the bank...I think it could be a decent move.

Called it

I don't want Chase to go to Cincy or Baltimore.

I hope Niners don't draft Lance or Jones. I will literally go on a rampage for days on end. I don't think I can handle it.

I don't want any of the top RBs to get drafted to a system that already has RBs in place, or to a system that doesn't value RBs enough for fantasy purposes. I don't want Harris to go to New England, for example.

Well that sucked.

To be fair, I wanted the 49ers to draft Fields but I had to say what I didn't want, so I tried to word it that way. I actually like Lance just fine, but I'd still prefer Fields. I'm stoked it wasn't Jones though. I think he's a good QB and all, I just don't think he fits the system in San Fran well enough.

J Robinson
Preston Williams
Slayton
Stealers rbs

Any value they had instantly disappeared.

Miles Gaskin shares holding on by a thread.

I'm thinking the phins are primed to take Williams early in the night.

Agreed.

[Cameron Giles]

Only a matter of time before Etienne starts. Probably won't get the whole load with other capable backs there, but he'll be the guy.

Snell and McFarland my be movable to the Harris drafter if u can spin the “better have a back up ready” narrative for anyone running behind this O-line. Of course as a Steeler fan i’m hoping they go hard on OL tonight. I’d like to see OL/CB/OL over the next few Steeler picks

[DLF3000]

Don't want to see my Patriots draft down and out of the 1st round... yet again, like way too many years.

Bill will probably piss me and most Pats fans off, but damn it, I will feast, drink and still enjoy the #$%@ out of the draft!

Holy #$%@, they not only didn't trade down or out they even took a QB! And looks like at value too, which is music to Bill's ears!

My team 2 draft starts June 5th. TL is 1. Chase or Harris is 2. Fields or Lance is 3 and Mac Jones is 4. I have 5 and 6. I'm gonna need you guys to tell me to go Wilson and Fields/Lance.... or not to because I'd miss out on whoever doesn't go 2. I usually hoard QBs a bunch. Just putting that out in to the universe because I'm gonna be mental trying to figure out who I want

So what are the ideal spots for Javonte Williams, Elijah Moore, Terrace Marshall, and Rondale Moore?

I'd want to see a WR in Green Bay and Indianapolis. Maybe Arizona.

Miami would be a great spot for Williams.

I am very excited about Sewell as a Lions fan. And from a fantasy perspective, I love it for Swift. Decker at LT, Sewell at RT, Ragnow at C, and a couple interesting prospects at G - Let's go!!!!!!

Goff needs a weapon now, so let's see who they pick up today with 3 picks. I'm cautiously optimistic about this new GM.

my two cents:

Javonte - Dolphins/Falcons
Elijah - Chargers/Titans
Terrace - Chiefs/Saints
Rondale - Cardinals/Packers
