2021 NFL Draft Round 2 talk - Official thread

[ExWNYer]

How much of a kick to the nuts was it for Browns fans to see Cleveland taken by Baltimore?

[H2o]

OL U again

[Weatherman]

So literally nothing we have done in this draft or off season tells me we are looking to overtake the Chiefs this year.  We have improved experience wise but not through any addition.  Our draft picks will likely have no impact on this season as they look to be future contributors.

 

Are we waiting for the cap to hamstring the Chiefs and then make our push?  Chiefs and Bucs are going to be in cap hell for the foreseeable future while we will see some relief in 2 years when our awful 2019, 2020 FA contracts all come off the books.

We just drafted a guy who maybe could one day.

 

i think Brown is going to be a tackle especially with his athleticism

Is Jacoby Jones drunk??

I dunno but it sounded like he just rolled out of the Player Haters Ball.

Ford just became a full time guard. Just now.

3rd round pick that will be a healthy scratch all year.  If he were a center I would be ok with that.  Not a slow lumbering OT.  CB or DT would have been better

It would have been better for 2021.  The draft isn’t strictly for 2021

Any G potential on him? 

Too tall IMHO.

Slow,  lumbering OT?  Dude was the highest ranked OT ever on the 'relative athletic score' metric of all OTs taken since 1987.

I honestly don't know a lot about the three players drafted, but I love the overall concept of improving the lines on both sides of the ball.

 

I agree.

 

We are all worried about September.

 

Beane is looking at 2023 and beyond.

After UNI postponed their 2020 season to the spring, he opted to forgo his senior season and prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft. He is the tallest tackle in the class at 6-foot-8 and 3/8 and is arguably the most athletic prospect regardless of position in the entire draft.

His mobility and agility in space are remarkable. On the play below, he comes barreling down from his right tackle spot and cleans the clock of an unsuspecting defender on a screen to the opposite side of the field.

What did Jason Peters rate since he was probably slotted as a TE?

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Didnt realize wgr was covering the draft, wish i had that on.

We are building a team for sustained success.  It’s been stated numerous times

Not a ford fan, maybe this is his year.

He's the OT/TE hybrid everyone's been pining for 

[CNYfan]

I think alot of this is about Josh"s contract.  These guys are low cost hopeful at high cost positions.

As a tackle I agree.  As a guard I'm intrigued.

This dude was a TE. He is not slow or lumbering. Out of 1143 offensive tackles from 1987-2020 he is ranked #1 in terms of speed and explosion with his RAS score.

In two years he'll be Howard Ballard.  Can't argue with this pick.

Too tall for guard

Most of the starting line up is set why wouldn't they do that?

I don’t feel like we moved the needle at all in closing the gap against the contenders. At the minimum would have thought we would add one or two starters. 
 

Our RB’s or TE’s scare no one. Take Diggs out and our offense is in trouble.

That’s admirable but name a modern era Team other than the Pats that have had sustained success?  It’s not an easy thing to do, most teams are riding the peaks and troughs.  Chiefs, Rams, Saints, Hawks, Browns (trying), Bucs, Broncos.

The Bills have lost ground, teams around them making moves to drastically improve, including the the team that kicked their ass twice last season.

 

The game isn't played on paper.

As much as I like Basham and Brown inparticular as individual players (I have doubts about Rousseau) it feels like our front office has been taken over by Green Bay's - focus on defense and don't give the QB much in way of additional support.

 

And even Green Bay has managed to draft a WR this year.

The teams around them were terrible of course they're making moves that have potential to move the needle more.
