Assorted 2021 NFL Mock Drafts

[Andrew Ryan]

A running back taking an entire season off is a very different thing than a quarterback taking an entire season off. I don't see any scenario in which Watson decides to do that, no matter how pissed off he is with Houston. If Watson plays hardball, I think Houston eventually relents. When that will be? I'm not sure but I believe it will be well before the season starts.

Another Etienne projection at 23.

I think mock drafters are mostly just looking for a place to slot Etienne in the 1st round since they think he's a 1st-round caliber prospect, and the Jets are an easy fit because we have the worst RB situation in the NFL. But if we take Etienne over Darrisaw or Mayfield, I would not be happy.

Did a 7 rounder on PFF

I like it but I'm trying to figure out why they're so down on Toney.  Dude looks like a player.

[Coach K]

I call this the Kevin Costner Special


Also gives us PHI 1st and 2nd next yr and DEN 1st and 2nd next yr


Jabril Cox was an accident but whatever . We haven't re signed maye. But he could just be a coverage LB

I would sniff cheese dust through a straw for that haul.  Well done, sir.

I have no idea who Alec Pulido is, but thought I'd post his mock bc it's different. This includes a trade down to 8 with Carolina. In exchange we also receive CAR 2nd and 4th...which seems insufficient compensation.

1.8 - Kyle Pitts TE Florida
1.23 - Spencer Brown OT N. Iowa
2.34 Javonate Williams RB UNC
2.39 Greg Newsome II CB Northwestern
3.66 Dayo Odeyingbo, Edge, Vanderbilt
3.87 Rashad Weaver, Edge, Pittsburgh
4.98 Kary Vincent Jr., Cornerback, LSU
4.104 Jimmy Morrissey, Interior offensive line, Pittsburgh
5.130 Monty Rice, Linebacker, Georgia
5.138 Jaelon Darden, WR, Northern Texas
6.162 Mark Webb, Safety, Georgia
7.215 Tamorrion Terry, WR, Florida State

If the Jets take a tight end in the top ten (or in the first round at all), then we deserve to be a bottom feeder NFL team for another decade

That actually might be one of the worst NYJ mocks I've ever seen.  Using the 23rd pick on an OT that will likely go in the third or fourth round is almost as bad as using a third on a player that
won't play in 2021 because he blew out his Achilles.

Why do you hate Kyle Pitts so much?

On paper, Pitts is 6'6", 240 lbs, fast, quick, great hands, great catch radius, and he's a complete mismatch nightmare. He could be our George Kittle. Every time I watch Pitts, I'm impressed.

I do worry a little about the positional value, but if they use him as a pass catcher and line him up at WR a good chunk of the time, I don't think it matters as much. Plus, tight ends have been more hit-and-miss in the NFL, but I'm not sure how much you can hold that against him.

Right now, I would take Pitts over every WR in the draft not named Ja'Marr Chase.

Why do you hate Kyle Pitts so much?

Tight end is not a valuable position, at all.  The best tight ends in the NFL are all mid-to-late round picks.  It is not a premium position.  It holds less value than running back.  He also can't block so he's useless on certain plays.

Taking Pitts over Smith and Waddle is a fireable offense.

He could be our George Kittle.

A fifth round pick (that can block)

[Heismanberg]

I think Herndon still has tons of potential as a TE2.  We need to another TE for sure, but we've got to stop drafting non-premium positions with premium picks. 

The tight end is a focal point in the BYU passing game, so Zach Wilson needs some good players there.  I'd much rather take Hunter Long in the third round than Pitts in the first.  Kenny Yeboah is also really good in the passing game.  Yeboah is like Pitts-lite.

I think Herndon still has tons of potential as a TE2.  We need to another TE for sure

Jace Amaro is available as a free agent.

[CatoTheElder]

I certainly like two of those picks.
