@raiders91sc and the Atlanta Falcons are on the clock

 

[raiders91sc]

Atlanta Falcons with the 148th pick Select:

Demetric Felton​

RB UCLA
5-10 200

Felton is a running back-receiver hybrid that can be a mismatch nightmare for defenses. He ran with the wide receivers at the Senior Bowl and didn't look out of place.

Pros

• Tremendous shiftiness. Very likely a child tag prodigy.
• Loses no speed out of route breaks. True pass-game weapon.
• Former slot wide receiver who could still play there.
• Put on significant amount of muscle to get to viable every-down size.

Cons

• Still hesitant between the tackles. Not your bell cow from a carries standpoint.
• Quicker than fast. Not a home-run hitter despite size.
• Goes down too easily on contact. No power element.
• Still haven't seen a ton of him. Only 234 career carries.

With pick 159. Cincinnati selects Joe Tryon, ED, Washington.

Sneaky bugger.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

@JDailey23 let me know he just received the vaccination and isn't feeling great.

Why Do the Bengals Get Him?

He plays like Joe Tryon but without always giving full effort play in and play out. Call him Joe On. Upside of a first round talent if the light goes on.

@KIisKing is on the clock.

 

[JDailey23]

Sorry. Not sure how I didn’t have him marked off my list.

 

[KIisKing]

With Pick 150 the Philadelphia Eagles select Divine Deablo, S/LB from Virginia Tech.

@G00seY3 - the Panthers are on the clock!

 

[G00seY3]

With the 151st pick in the 2021 RCF NFL Mock Draft... The Carolina Panthers select.... Kendrick Green, IOL, Illinois!!

Measureables: 6-foot-1 7/8, 305 pounds, 32 1/4-inch arms. 4.88 40, 4.67 shuttle, 25 bench-press reps.

Stats and accolades: Green allowed zero sacks and six pressures in eight games in 2020, according to Pro Football Focus, when he was voted first-team all-conference and second-team All-American. Sports Info Solutions charged him with zero sacks, five blown blocks (two runs, three passes) and two holds. In 33 starts in three seasons, SIS blamed him for only four sacks and 20 blown blocks.

NFL Draft Bible says: Green is an explosive athlete out of his stance who is fast in a straight line and can climb to the second level easily. His lateral agility is also great, making him a tremendous puller. He uses his momentum to convert into power when blocking opponents on the move. As a combo blocker, Green is strong enough to knock nose tackles off balance and reach and seal linebackers. In pass sets, he gains depth easily and mirrors rushers with his active feet. Green does not have the strongest anchor as he can be bull-rushed by strong defenders. Green projects as a potential starter at either interior offensive line spot in a zone running scheme that utilizes his athleticism by getting him on the move.

@MGMT and the Denver Broncos are on the clock...

 

[MGMT]

With the 152nd pick in the 2021 RCF mock draft,

the Denver Broncos select:

DaviMills, Quarterback - Stanford



The Broncos front office sort of forgot that it has essentially nothing in its quarterback meeting room. Lock clearly isn’t the answer and the team feels it has decent surrounding talent at WR and TE to give an Intelligent developmental player a good
Opportunity.


@Amherstcavsfan and the car town are now on the clock

From http://collegefootballnews.com

The Good: A very tall, aggressive corner who doesn’t fit the mold, he’s got great length, is good at getting after the ball, and can hit a bit. He came up with 86 career tackles with seven interceptions and ten broken up passes, and now he’s going to erase smallish receivers.

The Not-So-Good: There isn’t really a set role for him. He’s not necessarily a true NFL corner, and he doesn’t hit well enough to be be a sure-thing safety. He’d need to be surrounded by quickish defensive backs and at least one thumper, but …

NFL Draft College Perspective Thought: He’ll find a spot in a secondary. He might not be the perfect prospect, but his size is intimidating and he should be able to come up with a role where he makes big plays getting the freelance a bit, and he should be able to matchup well against the bigger receivers.

Projected Round: Fourth

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

Going way off the board for an athletic pick.

The Lions select

Johnathan Marshall, iDL, Arkansas

Jonathan Marshall, IDL, Arkansas

RS Senior, 6'3", 293 lbs

thedraftnetwork.com

With 42 career games played, Jonathan Marshall has gained a wealth of experience during his time with the Razorbacks. Playing all interior gaps across the board, he’s been able to gain playing time at the 0, 1, and 3-technique spots. His versatility and explosiveness have been two of his better traits, but his discipline with gap integrity must improve. Placing his eyes and head down to the ground while being a true gap-penetrator is his forte, but operating with more control and balance will need to be developed over time.

Ideal Role: Developmental 3-technique.

Scheme Fit: 3-technique in a penetrating and attacking four-man defensive front.

And his crazy ass pro day results

DL Jonathan Marshall​

Height: 6-3

Weight: 310 pounds

Bench reps (225 pounds): 36

Vertical jump: 32 inches

Broad jump: 9-6

40-yard dash: 4.75-4.90 seconds

Short shuttle: N/A

L drill: N/A

Projected Round: Fourth

I went through the selections like 3 times to ensure Mills wasn’t already selected.

With the 154th pick in the RCF Mock, the New York Jets select:

Brenden Jaimes, OT, Nebraska

STRENGTHS: Achieves proper depth with his kickslide steps…shows enough lateral range to chase rushers wide of the pocket…blocks with a solid base and stays balanced through contact…will waist-bend when answering counters but doesn’t allow his upper half to get overextended…looks to roll his hips into contact…looks to get his hands involved early and often…understands protections and locates rushers well on the move…durable and played through minor injuries…started 40 games the last four seasons, becoming just the second offensive lineman in school history to reach that number…experienced at left and right tackle.

WEAKNESSES: Below average arm length by NFL standards…able to anchor, but doesn’t have the power in his hands to displace edge defenders…falls off defenders and has a tough time sustaining…struggles to generate steady movement in the run game…little push inline and doesn’t create torque as a finisher…inconsistent body position and engagement tactics on stretch plays…gets sloppy in motion…must be more efficient with his second-level angles and landmarks…flashes grit and nasty, just want to see it more.

SUMMARY: A four-year starter at Nebraska, Jaimes was the left tackle in head coach Scott Frost’s offense. He burned his redshirt early in his freshman season and ripped off 40 straight starts (nine at right tackle followed by 31 at left tackle), which set a Nebraska record for consecutive starts on the offensive line. Jaimes is balanced in his lateral movements and keeps his weight centered, adjusting well to the varying speed of edge rushers. While he can stalemate rushers, he doesn’t control them and needs to improve the consistency and power in his hands to stay attached to blocks. Overall, Jaimes doesn’t have much of a wow factor, but he doesn’t have a fatal flaw either and produced quality tape at left tackle. He will provide immediate tackle/guard depth for an NFL team and might not give the job back if given the opportunity to start.
