Draft talk time

[Gulf of Brazil]

Let RBs go after their rookie deal is up.

agreed except one caveat. if we're on the verge of NFC championship level game with the roster and that RB fits plus you see a 3-4 year run with that roster then sign that player but an decent out in year 3 or 4.

Swift might just change your mind when we're playoff ready in 2023.
Keep RB1 and draft, UFA or UDFA the rest if need be.

I like to work from the inside out to the skill positions.

half tempted with hope that they finish out the offense this year and be done with it.

Jackson 3 years to go and looks solid
Ragnow is coming in to year four and looks top 5 at his position - resign him between now and just after new league year 2022
Decker signed through 2024 and is top 10-12

Vaitai is a gamble and roster is short on OG depth. draft a swing type OT/OG this year just in case on day 3

Crosby is in last year and is a solid swing OT but past concussion history and missing 4 games due to injury may lead to draft OT as an upgrade if value at slot # matches but not just to draft some developmental prospect (that's what Crosby is right now). draft one ready to compete to take over now. Should Crosby shine this year he'll get paid by someone.

A must to draft an X and Slot WR this year.

this option would not go over well but that defense will take 2-3 drafts to fix

Maybe Holmes can drop down 4-5 slots in 2nd round and garner an extra 4th round pick
lather, rinse, repeat same s above with one of those 3 rd picks if timing is right and can garner (1) 5th round and (1) 6th round pick

Fantasy Football: Projecting the top rookie safeties for IDP | Fantasy Football News, Rankings and Projections | PFF

​

1. TREVON MOEHRIG, TCU​

His biggest strength is in coverage, having forced more incompletions (22) than any other safety since 2019 while allowing just a 54.9 passer rating when targeted.

Moehrig has the ability to play all over the field for an NFL defense, making him more than just a typical deep safety. Almost one-third of his snaps came in the box over the past two seasons, where he played at a high level, earning a 75.6 overall grade from that alignment since 2019. Moehrig’s 91.7 overall grade and 92.2 coverage grade since 2019 rank among the best marks in the country for safeties, which bodes well for his NFL future.

2. RICHIE GRANT, UCF​

During his four-year tenure at UCF, Grant played at various alignments, earning strong grades in coverage and in run defense over the past few seasons. He finished the 2020 season with a 90.0 run-defense grade, which ranked first in the nation among safeties with at least 50 snaps.

Much like Moehrig, Grant possesses great playmaking skills, coming up with seven forced fumbles, 10 interceptions and 19 pass breakups over his Central Florida career. While college production numbers should be taken with a grain of salt when projecting to the NFL, it at least shows Grant can make an impact. He always seems to be around the ball for a safety who plays all over the field, as he led all Group of Five safeties in making first contact with ball carriers since 2018.

While Grant is a slim 6-foot and 194 pounds, his versatility will help him stay on the field and put him in a position to make plays. He has proven he can put up big-time tackle numbers, posting over 100 in 2018 as a deep safety. He earned an 83.4 tackle grade in 2020, so concerns about his size/physicality are minimal, in my opinion.

7. JEVON HOLLAND, OREGON​

opted out of this past season, and he did so after putting up strong PFF grades in the two seasons prior (83.3 and 81.5, respectively). He played mostly a slot corner role during his time at Oregon, but projects to be a safety in the NFL.

On tape, Holland shows a strong ability to hang in coverage on deeper routes, as he plays with a nose for the ball. He managed nine interceptions in two seasons and added 11 pass breakups for just a 61.1 passer rating when targeted since 2018. He most likely fits in the free safety/slot corner role in the NFL, as he doesn’t necessarily have the frame or ability to get off blocks to play that box role. His coverage instincts and big-play ability are what make him valuable and should allow for him to be an NFL starter early in his career.

Holland’s run defense did improve from 2018 to 2019, going from a 52.8 grade with an 18.4% missed tackle rate to a 72.4 grade with an 11.3% missed tackle rate. Making tackles in the open field ended up being a strength for him in 2019, which projects well for his future as an IDP.

2021 NFL Draft WR Superlatives: Best route-runner, freakiest athlete, safest hands and more | NFL Draft | PFF

BEST DEEP THREAT: JAYLEN WADDLE, ALABAMA​

Ja’Marr Chase was the most productive deep receiver in 2019, and DeVonta Smith laid claim to that title this past year, but no one brings the “threat” quite like Waddle. In the four games prior to his injury in 2020, Waddle hauled in six deep receptions on seven deep targets for 329 yards. Extrapolate that out to a 13-game season, and that’s 19.5 deep catches and 1,069 deep receiving yards — figures that would have far and away led college football. That’s what some lucky NFL team is getting early in the first round.

2021 NFL Draft WR Superlatives: Best route-runner, freakiest athlete, safest hands and more | NFL Draft | PFF

BEST ROUTE-RUNNER: DEVONTA SMITH, ALABAMA​

This is how a 170-pounder can light college football on fire in a way we’ve never seen before. Smith simply doesn’t let cornerbacks get their hands on him. The nuance and polish in his route-running is unlike anything we have seen from any receiver prospect we’ve graded. You won’t find Smith “going through the motions” any time soon on tape.

BEST RELEASES: RASHOD BATEMAN, MINNESOTA ​

This one could have been Smith too, but Bateman has the added physical element to get off the line of scrimmage. It’s why we feel so strongly about him as WR4 on the PFF draft board. His release package is NFL-ready, and it’s why he led the country in yards per route from the outside as a true sophomore in 2019.

BEST AFTER THE CATCH: KADARIUS TONEY, FLORIDA​

Rondale Moore, Tutu Atwell, Jaylen Waddle, Ja’Marr Chase and Jaelon Darden all have a case here, but none of them quite move the way Toney does. He broke 43 tackles on 120 career catches and added 23 more on 67 career rushes. Those are the kind of numbers you’d put up in NCAA Football with the difficulty on Freshman, not real life.

2021 NFL Draft WR Superlatives: Best route-runner, freakiest athlete, safest hands and more | NFL Draft | PFF

BEST CONTESTED CATCH: JA’MARR CHASE, LSU​

Chase is PFF’s WR1 because he’s not just a contested-catch guy. But when he is asked to play through contact, nobody in the draft class is better. And to think he was bodying defenders to the tune of 16 contested catches in 2019 as a true sophomore. The way he attacks the ball in the air is nothing short of special for a prospect and is a must to be a top dog at the NFL level.

FREAKIEST ATHLETE: JAYLEN WADDLE, ALABAMA​

Sadly, we’ll never get to see how a healthy Waddle would have tested at the combine or his pro day after breaking his ankle last season. On tape, though, he’s truly the closest thing to Tyreek Hill from a size and twitch perspective that we’ve seen in recent years. Just look at the way he accelerates with the ball in his hands.

2021 NFL Draft WR Superlatives: Best route-runner, freakiest athlete, safest hands and more | NFL Draft | PFF

BEST SLOT: ELIJAH MOORE, OLE MISS​

While he can be much more than a “slot only,” there’s no better option in the draft class if that’s what you want in your offense. Over the past two seasons, Moore has racked up 1,738 yards from the slot, the most of any receiver in college football. He’s also done so without the advent of a ton of “phony” production, as only 86 of those yards came on screens. He can be a vertical threat from the slot with 4.35 speed or easily shake defenders underneath.

2021 NFL Draft WR Superlatives: Best route-runner, freakiest athlete, safest hands and more | NFL Draft | PFF

BEST GADGET PLAYER: RONDALE MOORE, PURDUE​

While Kadarius Toney may have the slight edge after the catch, Moore gets the nod here for what his 4.29 speed can do as a gadget player. I feel bad lumping the Purdue receiver into such a role because he is so much more than that. If that’s all you wanted him to do, though, Moore could still bring a ton of value to the table. He’s not your everyday 5-foot-7, 180-pounder. Moore has legit play strength as well and can run through as well as around you.

2021 NFL Draft WR Superlatives: Best route-runner, freakiest athlete, safest hands and more | NFL Draft | PFF

BEST HANDS: AUSTIN WATKINS, UAB​

Watkins isn’t going to win any athleticism contests, and he may be a late-rounder, but I’m not sure there’s an argument to be made for anyone else here. Watkins caught 99 balls with only one drop in his UAB career and went a ridiculous 19-of-31 in contested situations for his career. The man has ball skills for days. His separation ability doesn’t quite match up, but if it’s in his vicinity, he’s coming down with it.

Thanks for playing Zaven but No Thank You..... Huge Pass Now

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

the only reason I'm posting this report is due to one of the writers from TDN had him in his mock today.

I know nothing of him and even watched the Gators 3x this past year. maybe a good thing because I don't recall his name being called for penalties - or my forgetfulness was in high gear

Stone Forsythe OT Florida - Draft Player Profile | The Draft Network

Ideal Role: Developmental starting offensive tackle.

Scheme Fit: Pass-heavy offensive attack with consistent launch point from the pocket.

BB_72: he was selected at our No.72 draft slot

No. 15 WR........DeVonta Smith (in a trade down with the pats. we got their No. 15 and No. 46, imo, they need to throw in a fourth also)
No. 41 iDL........Christian Barmore Ala
No. 46 ..S..........Jevon Holland
No. 72 OT.........Stone Forsythe Fla
No. 101 DE.......Hamilcar Rashed Ore St.

Eskridge went No. 66 to Jets
Pete Werner went No. 70 to Eagles
Tommy Togiai went No. 99 to DAL I like this kid. he's @Mebert guy

I just don't see how this kid is considered a day 2 OT. He gets lost at times in his assignment run blocking but he's a willing blocker once he latches on. He needs to sink his hips more on his pass sets and keep his elbows and hands inside. He has a tendency all too often to get a hand on the outside shoulder of his matchup and grab at the jersey - that'll be called at the NFL level. Needs to have a better punch but his length in arms shows to redirect or run his matchup outside the arc.

In the following 2021 Bowl Game vs Oklahoma he starts out at LT but at the 4 minute mark on tape I noticed he was switched to the RT. He wasn't getting exposed badly. At the beginning of the 2nd half he's back at LT. IDK why. It is a shortened version so maybe I'm missing some bad reps in series.

Trask played like pooh that 1st qtr or pretty much the whole game.
