OldTimer1960 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Gil Brandt’s top 100 draft prospect list has quite a few differences from many others. Interesting read from a guy who had decades as an evaluator and is likely very well connected (still) in the league. https://www.nfl.com/news/gil-brandt-s-hot-100-1-0-top-prospects-in-2021-nfl-draft-class 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo44 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Interesting rundown but I am surprised that Andre Cisco didn’t make the top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) He's got a pretty good track record too: https://steelersdepot.com/2020/04/looking-back-at-gil-brandts-2019-top-100-draft-prospect-rankings-7-year-success-rates/ Most interesting ranking for me is how he has LBs Werner and JOK the reverse of what most have. Wonder if JOK could be the big nickel McD wants? Edited March 25, 2021 by TPS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Interesting that he has 3 Pass Rushers right around where we pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see Asante Samuel Jr either. CBs are in a very different order than I’ve seen. Maybe there’s a lot of disagreement on them in NFL circles. Could be a good value position in the first or second round. Also JOK at 45. Damn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I am not at all surprised he has TE Kyle Pitts at #3. It kinda looks like something is wrong when you watch him play, like a grown man playing with his little nephews. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 At the end of day 2, two of these players will be wearing Bills blue. The million dollar question is which 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nester Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I love the RB's near our pick. That or edge obv. Thanks for posting, i enjoy gils lists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 What does he know about the NFL draft?! He's a high school coach! 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) My one knock on Gil... He literally says Justin Fields could move up his board because of a good pro day I've never talked to an actual scout or coach that actually moved somebody up their board because of a pro day .. that's a pundit thing Looking bad might hurt your stock a bit, but if you're a top notch evaluator or scout, nothing you see should change your evaluation from game tape.. the pro day verifies some things you see on tape It doesn't add anything, except getting to see the ball live Edited March 25, 2021 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Mac Jones as the 24th best football player in college? No I also think he has Nick Bolton way too low at 49. He's also not 215 lbs. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I do too but we better duck when we say it around here! LOL. I think it's a missing piece on offense. They all seem to be good pass catchers which makes it all the more intriguing. If Beane did that he could go with D with his next 4 picks for all I would care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 There’s my boy Carlos Basham at 33! But some folks thought that taking him at 30 is way too high. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means nothing really. people have a top 100 then they pick for need. Phillips, Rousseau and Payne expected to be gone by 25 The list has Pitts TE at #3 yet I doubt he is drafted till 5 or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Maybe others feel differently, but I have not been impressed with Gil Brandt as a writer or NFL analyst. I know he has a good history in the league, but his writing always seems pretty superficial to me. And I highly doubt he puts in the time for film study that he once did. But, that's just my impression. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitts looks like a freak. Still see us going DE @ 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regional scouts had all of last year to see him, as well as getting to attend Georgia practices to see him, and Ohio State practices at times the past 3 season's And you still have all the tape from this year There is way more than enough tape and info on Justin fields, not like Trey Lance who is a mystery I understand talking to him. But nothing about his throws on his pro day should change anything about his draft status Edited March 25, 2021 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 This is what I am talking about. This years boards will be (much) more different from scout to scout and team to team than before. I see many people saying that no chance that player X will be on board at 30, but I am pretty sure we will have lot of unexpected choices. Some guys like Toney, JOK, Rousseau, Phillips, Horn and so on will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
