  1. I flew overnight to Switzerland.  Slept poorly even in business class. After landing, traveled to the office and worked all day.

     

    The Bills were playing Seattle on MNF.  With time change was watching the game at 230 in the morning.  Watched the entire game on my laptop with the Bills losing on the missed FG at the end.  

     

    I was so worked on the loss I could not get to sleep.  So Tuesday I was not productive from lack of sleep.

    This is never happening. Pitts might be the best player in the entire draft, QBs included and has been said to be the highest graded TE Prospect ever. He isn't making it out of the top 5 and a team might trade up for him.

    Spot on.  Pitts will not make it to 10.  This is place a huge bet certainty.

     

    Try to be at least probable when making these types of trades.

  4. This is most likely too much work but if someone does not draft or makes a pick to screw up the draft, do not invite.  

     

    Maybe do the final draft as an invitational - select the people who are dependable and make well reasoned selections.  You may not make the same selection  but can understand why. No 2nd or 3rd round grades in round 1.

     

    Lastly, I like the poll but too many selections.  Use the 3 person team to select 5 potential draft picks and stick to those.  Ignore the "please add X" suggestions.  Put the emphasis on how Beane would build the team, not favorite players.

     

    Thanks again for organizing and if you need assistance, please ask.

  5. With the 52nd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky.

     

    The draft board and need meet at pick 52.  With Fuller cut, the D needs a CB.  Joseph had 4 ints in 2020 and is an excellent athlete.  Joseph is not a process guy but Chicago is not a process team.

     

    The Titans and @turftoeare on the clock.

     

    Thanks to @Virgil for organizing.

    Yeah - I just have a problem going to the RB well again that high. We’d all scream if Beane did this. Get Carter or others available in subsequent rounds. 

     

    Gettleman’s leash can’t be that long. 

     

     

     

     

    If the Giants were close to being competitive, that RB pick makes sense.  They have talent gaps in so many areas it is GM malpractice.

     

    Now if they want to send a  4th to the Bills for Singletary and the Bills draft him, makes more sense as the Bills are close.

    Just looking at the picks so far I think this draft is pretty clearly a draft with around 18/20 consensus players. The first half of the first round is pretty settled. Of the first 19 picks the only one that ranked as a reach against my current board was Mac Jones who went at #15 and I have currently ranked at #32 - which as a reach for a Quarterback is a pretty understandable and normal sort of move. However, from pick 20 on the player rankings by my current board are:

     

    20 - #46

    21 - #41

    22 - #18

    23 - #52

    24 - #55

    25 - #16

    26 - #51

    27 - #42

    28 - #25

     

    I don't say any of that to have a dig at any of the guys as GMs for those teams. I'd be pretty surprised if Chazz Surratt or Javonta Williams ended up as first round picks but I think all of the guys people have taken in those spots have at least some chance to be first rounders. Rather, my point is when people ask me the question - as they seem to every year - "there are 32 picks in round 1 how can you say you only have 17 or 18 first round grades?" my answer is because there is a clear drop off in talent. There is a group of guys in every draft who are absolutely clear first round talents and are generally, especially for non-QBs, pretty scheme agnostic..... in a really good year that number is low 20s... most years it's high teens. 

     

    The next group of players that comes after that generally there is a lot more divergence not just from amateur graders like me or the network talking heads but from teams too. I take someone like Asante Samuel who I discussed elsewhere earlier as an example. I imagine he is a lot higher on Tampa's board than on Buffalo's. It becomes very much about scheme and fit. Same with someone like Jayson Oweh from Penn State - great testing numbers at his pro day but there will still be 4 man front teams who look at him and conclude "too small to be an every down player" and drop him down the board because of it. 

    #20 was Teven Jenkins.  You have at #46, Athletic article from this AM has him at 20th best.  Several others have him in mid 20's.  Alignment is rare even in the top 10.

    The Non-Redskins are working on the assumption that Miami won’t double dip at T and intends to take Christian Darrisaw from Virginia Tech,

    just in case I’m not able to get back here early in the morning.

    With the 18th pick in the 2021 TSW Mock Draft, the Miami Dolphins select EDGE Gregory Rousseau, Miami

    Our GM watched our team lose a season ending win-and-in game to the Buffalo Bills in which we gave up 56 points. FIFTY-SIX!

    Stopping the elite Buffalo passing offense is a priority for us. We like our cornerback room, but if we're going to beat the Bills and claim the AFC East crown, we need to make Josh Allen uncomfortable. We like Andrew Van Ginkel and Emmanuel Ogbah, but let's be honest: that's not exactly a murderer's row attacking off the edges. We need more juice, more explosiveness. at 6'7" and 265 lbs, and with speed and bend, Gregory Rousseau offers exactly that. You simply can't teach the size and athleticism that this man possesses.

    While Rousseau opted out of the 2020 college season, he posted an eye-popping 15.5 sacks in 2019. He is raw and can fairly be called a boom-or-bust prospect. Luckily, Rousseau played in our own backyard at Miami U. Our scouts had the chance to watch him up close and personal on multiple occasions, and we feel comfortable with the risk. We feel quite confident that we are adding the best pure pass rusher in this class.

    Running back and wide receiver are still needs for us, but we believe strongly in positional value in the first round, and we believe in taking the best player available. At pick 18, both of those beliefs align in the form of Gregory Rousseau.

    @whatdrought and the Washington Football Snyders are on the clock.

     

    With the 20th pick in the TSW Mock Draft (v1), the Chicago Bears select Teven Jenkins, OT, Oklahoma State.

     

    The Bears were hoping to select Mac Jones but the Pats, as expected, made that selection.  Dalton and Foles are not the long term answer.  Not sure if Jones would be but Dalton/Foles are not for sure.

     

    The selection then came down to OT or CB.  Both are high needs but Jenkins was the highest rated of the next 4 on the board.  If we went CB, it would have been Joseph from Kentucky.

     

    The Colts and @Canadian Bills Fan are on the clock.

    I like Chase to the Bengals just for the chemistry, but i don’t think it’s the right move. 
     

    The drop off from Chase to say, Terrace Marshall, or Rashod Bateman at the top of the second is much less significant than Slater/Sewell to Eichenburg/Mayfield in the second.

     

    Especially when you consider need to protect Burrow being the priority, their relative good shape at WR, positional value, and their lack of LT. 

    All that to say, I get the pick, but I think most people wouldn’t like them passing on a T.

    Spot on, the top tackle should be the pick.  Take a receiver at the top of round 2 or improve the D.

    no way...Cam Newton may not be all that but NE is going to be better..it took hisfumble while they were deep in our territory to beat them at home last season... and no matter how bad the Jets are or who plays qb they always play us tough...I look for 6 tough AFC East games  and Miami likely the next best team.

     

     

    Away games against some really good teams:  New Orleans Saints · Tampa Bay Buccaneers · Tennessee Titans · Kansas City

     

    Look at the playoff win versus the Colts...they missed a TD catch by inches and missed 2 very makeable FGs which could have won the game for them.   Saints, Titans will be tough games

     

     

    The Saints will be the Aints again next year.
