[Draft Crazy]

Free agency will help clear some of this up.

The more DB's the better.

Etienne is my favorite player in the draft so you already know how I would feel. Not expecting running back in round two but it makes sense in some ways.

One thing that has not really been mentioned here is the Offield issues Micah Parsons has had. Keep in mind he threatened a teammate with a knife. I am high on the guy but something to think about.

The article says that it was the teammate who pulled a knife on Parsons, but Parsons was choking him at the time. And it sounds like Parsons was involved in a lot of hazing/bullying of this teammate, who ended up transferring because of it. I'm sure all of this will come out in the next couple of months or so.

I looked through a top 100 list of draft eligible guys and didn't see one safety. That's weird.

Honestly, not a good safety draft this year.

My top guys would probably be (in no order)
Oregon S Jevon Holland (opted out this year)
TCU S Trevon Moehring (Won the Jim Thorpe award)
USC S Talanoa Hufanga

Cuse S Andre Cisco
Central Florida S Richie Grant (Ball hawk)
Texas S Caden Sterns- At one point looked like a top 15 pick to me his FR year but pretty injury prone.
Pitt S Paris Ford
Georgia S Richard LeCounte

My sleeper S is Missour's Josuah Bledsoe... This guy isn't on the map yet, but he is all over the field. Great range, good physical tools.


Honestly, probably one of the weaker S drafts. I don't think there is a guy at the top of this draft that just strikes you as elite, a few guys I like as a second round value, then a handful I like in round 3-4 area. Overall, not a lot that sticks out to me.

Surprising to me but Ohio State WR Chris Olave returned for his SR season at Ohio State.

I guess that means good news for the other two WR's I rank similar to him. Ole Miss WR Elijah Moore and UNC WR Dyami Brown.

There is also Florida S Shawn Davis. Reminds me a bit of Brandon Meriweather, big hitter, not sure he can cover NFL WR’s but in the box safety who is a little bit on the small size but plays big.

DJ Daniel of Georgia is a decent S too but not special which is the theme of the S draft this year.

Bledsoe is one of my super sleepers.

Tyrie Gillispie of Missouri is ok too.

With the combine cancelled for 2021, Pro Days are more important. I found the following article on Pro Day dates:

7 more college football programs schedule pro days

Pro days are an important part of any NFL offseason and an even more important this year with no NFL combine.

For those of you salivating over drafting QBs - 2016 is calling - picks 1 and 2 both QBs can now be found in the bargain bin with the blue light special flashing.

Next years CB draft is going to be crazy good starting with LSU CB Derek Stingley Jr and Florida CB Kaair Elam.

Due to the extra year of eligibility and the need to get back to the 85 scholarship limit - along with guys like Stingley leaving early - next year's draft will be extremely deep in talent. If you are building a roster - stock pile picks for next year.

Highest-graded CBs in zone coverage since 2019:
1. Caleb Farley, VA Tech - 91.0
2. Roger McCreary, Auburn - 89.6
3. Patrick Surtain II, Bama - 87.6
4. Zech McPhearson, TTU

Va Tech usually has good zone CB’s. Remember one of Fangio’s best CB’s was Kyle Fuller from Va Tech.

I like Farley - as you know - even if he is 2 inches shorter than I had hoped.

George is like 4 inchers shorter and you still pretend to like him.

I like George, but only pretend to like you - since you are even 4 inches shorter than him.

I was just telling George how it was on my bucket list to meet you. Cross that one off the bucket list now!

I think that you'll see 3 or 4 Safeties targeted in rd2 and then after that you might as well wait until rd4 to take one. I'm halfway expecting Mizzou's safeties to be closer to rd5 and rd6 prospects.

Why? DC obviously aspires to moments of peak experience.

"peak-ed" maybe.
