2021 NFL Draft Thread

[BigFin]

Simi Fehoko is the only WR I’m still interested in. He probably needs another year of development but I’d trade up to the 4th to get him. He’d be the big athletic WR we need to replace Parker with in 2022.

I think WR Marshall Jr. is going to be good. However the Fins have greater draft needs.

Also Jalen(!) Camp in the 7th, or maybe trade up into the 6th for him.

Safety Holland is a very versatile. It's a lofty comparison. He has similarities to Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Fins traded up to 42 for OT Eichenberg. He is a highly rated LT.

That's good to hear and I have heard good things about him leading up to the draft. Does that mean he's bumping out one of the vet S?

Well that should solidify the oline lots of depth now. They must have liked him to move up.

What else did they give up for the move up?

Also a 3rd round pick next year. It was an extra pick acquired from the trade that the Fins made in the first round

I am not sure. I wonder if he could replace McCain eventually B. Jones also plays FS. He was a rookie last year.

 

[FanofPelicans]

Fins picked TE Hunter Long. He was productive at BC. He has excellent hands.

So I looking at upcoming rounds tomorrow and see Fins don't have any picks in 4th, 5th or 6th round? Guess I missed what happened there. I think they will regret not getting a RB, going to be weak spot next year I believe.

Naw they signed Brown who's a tough runner and Gaskin and Ahmed were pretty good finds last year. Unfortunately the donks jumped ahead of them in rd 2 but not sure they were going RB anyway.

I hope you are right, Brown, Gaskin and Ahmed are IMO serviceable backs, was hoping for a higher level player in backfield this coming year. Time will tell I guess

The Fins picked the first safety off the board. The pick came in quickly. I think they are happy to have Holland. That said it was disappointing to just miss Williams but overall the Fins will be greatly improved. They are meeting a number of roster needs. Holland is a ball hawk.

The Fins added another Olineman. With the investment they have made they should reap the rewards of good running lanes for their RBs. Eich is also a good pass blocker. It will be a competitive training camp for spots on the Oline.

The Fins have quick and versatile RBs. Brown is the power back. They could still add a RB. Stevenson is a big powerful RB. He doesn't have breakaway speed, however, Gaskin and Ahmed do.

TE Long was a high volume pass catcher. I am thinking we will see more two TE sets from the Fins.

Day 3 begins. Solid pick at safety for the Fins - they got themselves a OT -- The TE pick was as questionable as their first pick. Gesicki is still around and can shine if we can get a QB - he and Smythe arent FAs until after the season, even then - it was unnecessary to go TE at that point.

Jets take Michael Careter in the early part of the 4th.

 

[FanofPelicans]

OT Coleman is the Fins first pick in the 7th round.

 

[FanofPelicans]

The Fins got a RB. Doaks is a big back with great speed and ability to contribute with catches. He runs with toughness.
