NewEra Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 8 minutes ago, whatdrought said: For me I just don’t see what he adds to this offense? He’s a developmental move TE that’s probably never gonna be very good in-line and will be a year or two away from producing in this offense - he’s a less athletic hedge against Knox not taking a step. If I’m gonna grab a TE in that range I’d rather get Tremble, who I know can come in and be a good blocker right now and has as much upside as a receiver. I disagree here. Move tight ends can’t block. He can block. RAC ability is what he brings to the offense. I wouldn’t mind tremble but they aren’t nearly the same players when the ball is in their hands. Jordan can make people miss and has some juice. Apparently his 40 sucked but he still has some wiggle. A lot of wiggle for a TE and imo, has more upside as a receiver than tremble. i think tremble might be better for us because he’s a better fit opposite knox, mainly because he’s a great blocker. Jordan is just a decent blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE underwhelming. Strength in this class is QB early. Top end talent to about 18players. Big drop to next tier but next tier pretty solid though 50. After that not much. OT depth is good. CB and S class isn’t bad. TE not good LBer is good but a lot of specialized skill sets. our pick locations miss out on the top tier and 2nd tier. I would trade down from 30 grabbing futures. If I was Beane and trading down I wouldn’t grab additional picks in this class I would grab picks for next class. also would not mind giving up all picks this year to get to top 15 (won’t happen) for the top end talent in the draft. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a lot of people have expressed a "disinterest" in this draft, I think it's going to be one of the most interesting, for the reasons you stated. In playing with some of the mock drafts, some of the better outcomes come from trading back. If they can pick up a 2nd in 2022, then 2 R2 picks can get them close to the top 10. However... It looks as if the Bills think they have a legitimate shot this year, so that would suggest being aggressive and getting someone who can help immediately (CB, Edge?). Using their R2 pick could get them just inside 20. They could probably get Newsome here. Would Beane give up R2 and R3 for one player to move up a few more spots? Alternatively, Using R3 to move up in R2 gets them just inside the top 50, and the second tier of CB and Edge. The trade back scenario would put them in the mid 40s for the same group. All conjecture, and why I'm excited about this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I agree Shelvin is a late third rounder, that is the grade I have on him. But he inside my top 100 - he is #85 - which says more about this class than anything else. There are other years where a late 3rd round grade would have a player 120-140 on my board. 38 minutes ago, glazeduck said: My favorite is the fact that people were voting for a 4th rd DE AFTER WE JUST TOOK ONE IN THE FIRST.

NewEra Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 With the 65th pick in the NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select, Elijah Molden, CB, Washington. We’ve addressed the O entirely in this draft and it’s time to address the D. We feel that Molden is the type of playmaker the secondary needs. While DT is currently the bigger need, the value just isn’t there.

Doubling down on doing the opposite of what we did with Darnold, we are adding here second new prospect along our OL to help protect our new QB. Carman brings versatility as well to our OL as we see him projecting into a potential starting guard at the next level after a successful college career at LT. We see a lot of potential for him sliding inside to guard, but with the versatility to backup our starting LT Becton if needed. @RyanC883 and the Houston Texans are now on the clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 With the 68th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select, Quinn Meinerz, C, Wiconsin-Whitewater. My first offensive selection of the draft is a center and a guy I have been trying to trade up to snag for the last 10 picks. The Falcons lost veteran center Alex Mack in free agency and while they do have Matt Hennessey who they took out of Temple in round 3 last year they also have a vacant starting job at left guard where Meinerz started in college in 2019. I think Meinerz's ceiling is way above that of Hennessey but we might be happy to slide him in at guard as a rookie before moving him to center in year 2. This guy just screams Arthur Smith. That inside zone / power hybrid blocking scheme that he ran for Derrick Henry in Tennessee is perfect for Meinerz's skill set. Love the fit. @BigdaddyinOrlando and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are now on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree with you, but this draft did not fall very realistic either before my picks. The defense is in way better shape than the offense, especially the mess of an OL IMO. They just flushed a ton of assets down the toilet they used to draft Darnold because they didn’t support him. My target at 23 definitely included DB, but at 23 the DBs I had graded higher were taken in this draft. I’m certain the 23rd pick will be either OL or DB depending how the real draft falls. And there were a ton of DBs taken by the time the 3rd round pick came around, so went for the OL again as I didn’t see one worth taking there. And they need the help on the line. And you took the DB I was gonna take in the third the pick before me too Edited April 19, 2021 by Alphadawg7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
