2021 NFL Draft: Day 1

[Randolphkeys]

Not so fast... He might be moving this baby for twins in 2023.

two takes :
1 they will not take anyone that has a long list of injuries like Phillips or Farley in the 1st.
2 the will absolutely take the best upside player available which includes every position from
CB to RB with complete disregard to fit if they stay at 26.

 

[Smooth]

My best guess how the 1st round plays out--
1). CB if Newsome, Horn, or Surtain are within reach
2). DE if Ojulari is within reach
3). Trade back if none of those top 4 are within reach
4). If they stay put and top-4 options are off the board, I'd watch Stokes, Ossai, Turner, and Milton Williams as guys to watch at 26

I think Phillips, JOK, Barmore and a WR are the potential 1st round wildcards for the Browns.. But will remain firm in my $50 bet they will not take a WR or LB in the 1st...

I'm still all aboard the Jaelen Phillips train. Choo choo motherfuckers.

He won't be there at 26, but if he is, when's the next time you're going to get a Joey Bosa-esque talent that deep in the draft?

Everyone is one bad hit away from being out.

I'll say that if Philips is on the board at 26, the Browns will not select him. He doesn't check the other boxes that the team values beyond the physical.

I agree with you.

I don't think he'll be available at 26, and even if he is, I don't think we're the team that pulls the trigger on him.

He's still the guy I'd personally take though. I'm not risk averse.

The most exciting NFL day of the spring. In years past most of us would be drunk with the channel changed an hour into the draft. But with the success of last season we will all be drunk and passed out before the browns make their round 1 selection.

Chances are browns are going defense first, but only time will tell.

Let's get it on!

Edit Q has put together a chat

I could argue Friday with the Browns having 3 picks on day 2 is my favorite day. Round 2 and 3 should all be starter quality players. Solid depth.

Aaaand Trey Lance is now the betting favorite to go #3.

If I'm running the Niners, I keep Jimmy and tell everyone Lance will be brought along slowly... then when Jimmy gets injured Lance takes the job away.

But the Mac Jones talk just doesn't go away locally.

With 3 picks, if you hit on a starter and fringe starter and/or strong rotational piece, you're crushing it. Most likely one of those 3 flops based on historical data.

Skeptical this means anything material is leaking. The props have low limits so it's the masses driving the movement, not a few heavy-handed insiders.

 

[JDailey23]

Aaaand Trey Lance is now the betting favorite to go #3.

Been back and forth for about 10 days. Once Jones was the talk about a month ago I put $100 on Lance at +1200.

 

[Rich]

Maybe it'll be the Packers making that pick tonight for the 9ers......

Schefter reporting Rodgers is telling people he doesn't want to return to the team.

NFL Draft 2021: Last-Minute News and Rumors

With just a few hours before the draft kicks off in Cleveland, here's Albert Breer's latest intel from making calls around the league.

www.si.com

• There are rumblings that Baltimore and Cleveland could move up in the 20s, too—and my sense is that there’s going to be a premium on corners in that range. By then, Horn and Surtain will be long gone. There’s a drop off to the next group. And then, there’s a second tier and another drop-off. So Northwestern’s Greg Newsome, Georgia’s Tyson Campbell and Eric Stokes, and Kentucky’s Kelvin Joseph could be the objects of some shorter moves up either within or into the 20s, with Joseph joining Virginia Tech’s Caleb Farley as a bit of a wild card (Joseph’s issue is off-field, Farley’s relates to injury)

In a few days we've gone from "shit, all the corners will be gone, we're stuck with one of Stokes or Campbell" to "shit, we need to trade up for one of those guys"
