2021 RCF Mock Draft: Discussion, Trades and Miscellany

[Hurl Bruce]

TEN @Amherstcavsfan is up.
IND @dkbldev is on deck
PIT @PITCavsFan is in the hole.

If Kellen Mond played for Alabama, that position hierarchy probably looks a bit different right now.

Definitely, I think that is probably true and I do not pretend to watch much college football until draft season. From what I have seen, though, his technical limitations need work and he is not a sure thing at the pro level. Alabama would have likely fixed those issues and put him in a better place to succeed, no? Or is the argument that because Alabama is a bigger name his stock would have risen?

Crossing my mock fingers on Odeyingbo's health/future. Could be huge value for someone willing to take the risk.

I wanted Shaun Wade for PIT in the 4th, but got sniped yesterday. I'd think he'd be a good fit in the Steelers secondary.

Dayo Odeyingbo was my backup plan if I couldn't get Patrick Jones II for the 49ers. You can't teach somebody to be an ideal athlete for the NFL trenches.

I see plenty of value if the Browns want to stash him and let him rehab on day three.

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

With the 133rd pick, the New Orleans Saints select JAIME NEWMAN, QUARTERBACK, WAKE FOREST.

Positives: Nice-sized pocket passer with an undeveloped game. Patient, buys as much time as necessary for receivers and stands strong against the rush. Possesses a compact throwing motion, a live arm, and throws tight spirals with speed. Displays a sense of timing on throws and does not have receivers waiting for the ball to arrive.

Natural-looking off the safety, spreads the ball around and uses all his targets. Remains poised as the pocket collapses around him, shows no sense of worry, and is quick bouncing it to the outside. Loses nothing throwing on the run and easily gets the ball downfield. Puts touch on throws and delivers a catchable ball. Effectively led the Wake Forest offense in 2019.

Negatives: Tends to stare down the primary target and is late moving his eyes from receivers. Holds the ball a little too long and must hasten his decision-making. Struggles with his accuracy as well as pass placement and can be all over the place with throws.

Analysis: Newman possesses the physical skills to play in the NFL but needs a lot of work on the intangibles and details of the quarterback position. He started off hot during the first day of Senior Bowl practices, then he quickly fizzled out and looked like a quarterback who had not played football in more than a year. Newman is a high-upside prospect but needs time and proper coaching to meet his incredible upside.

@Falb7 and the Vikings are on the clock.

I very well might be buying into risers and shitting on fallers more than I should be, but I see more potential in Newman than I do in Trask.

Nice pick @Stark

142. Washington Football Team (from Green Bay) @Jordan
143. Minnesota Vikings @Falb7
144. Kansas City Chiefs @Coyote850

If I wasn't so busy Saturday, Washington Football Team would have added long snapper Cameron Cheeseman from the University of Michigan.

 

[Falb7]

Feel like Sermon has a half decent chance of going in round 2 next weekend. Last pick of the 4th is pretty wild

I've seen him mocked anywhere from late 2nd to mid 3rd. Absolutely thrilled to get him with pick 144.

Are we really going into Round 5?

Probably would’ve been better than my actual pick, lol

We usually do.

Ok. Let me get my daughter down and I'll get my pick in tonight.

Cool. We have ten days until the real first round, everyone. There's no rush now, have fun with it. You will thank yourself when the Browns start drafting obscure players on day three.
