I’m glad that Herbie went to a team where he’d be developed well, is what I’m saying.

Excuse me, I don’t believe Herbie is on the draft board this year so if you would kindly gently caress OFF and stop ruining the SANCTITY of the ART of the NFL DRAFT? thank you...

Thanks for the post with the two drafts I liked them both.

I'd be interested if the Falcons traded down from 4 with fields on the board. Feels like it could be a mistake, but I do like picking up more draft picks.

My initial assumption of Kwity Paye, given the description of him as "freak athlete" and "shot rapidly up draft boards" but with little mention of his college production or any interest in him prior to the draft season, is to think he'll bust hard like so many other freak athletes who shot up boards at the last minute. Is that wrong? Did anyone here watch him in college and could provide insights on him?

The edge class this year is all supplemental pass rushers at best imo. There's a bunch of guys who are freaks in some way but don't strike me as impact players by themselves.

this is the first draft I can remember in a long time where the offensive lineman clearly outclass the defensive lineman.

I can’t imagine the patriots not taking a QB with their number one pick I mean what else can they do? Even if they ride with Cam Newton for one more year.

I really hope they don’t start going with retreads

There's no way Parsons will be available in the late twenties when the Patriots are picking.

despite the fact that this was something that happened years ago I still occasionally find myself surprised the Bengals aren't drafting at pick 21. That was just their spot in the draft for so many years.

Man if Parsons makes a fall to 14-15, Miami has to jump New England and secure that. No way he gets passed Bill.

There is no way in hell Parsons doesn't get drafted by 15 bc if he still on the board that late, someone will trade up. Parsons is a game wrecker

quote:

Humphries said the hazing and the ensuing retaliation he allegedly received from the school forced him to transfer from Penn State. He's now a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and a member of the Golden Bears football team.

During his only autumn at Penn State in 2018, Humphries said he and other underclassmen were frequently targeted for hazing acts that simulated sexual assault.

Players would allegedly regularly pin younger teammates to the floor and simulate "a humping action while on top" or place their "genitals on the face of the lower classmen." One of the players would place a "penis on the buttocks of the lower classmen and stroke his genitalia, simulating the action of ejaculation," among other acts alleged in the lawsuit.

Penn State was rocked by the Jerry Sandusky scandal in 2011 and 2012, when the former assistant coach to legendary head coach Joe Paterno was arrested and convicted for a string of sexual assaults against young boys.

The school and its football program were accused of covering up for Sandusky, leading to harsh penalties against the Nittany Lions imposed by the NCAA, the governing body of college sports.

"At all relevant times material hereto, the harassment and hazing ritual undertaken by defendant Damion Barber, Micah Parsons, Yetur Gross-Matos and Jesse Luketa included the participants stating to lower classmen, such as the plaintiff, 'I'm going to Sandusky you,'" the lawsuit said.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
I am not really all that wild about any of the QB prospects after Lawrence, so i’m hoping the Lions grab a WR or a DE or something. They could really use a linebacker, and Parsons could be there at #7, but to hell with that guy.

But, knowing the Lions, they’ll draft Kyle Pitts.

If you could use a time machine and have freshman year Rondale Moore in the draft then he would imo be the number one guy in that regard

I can't really see SF grabbing a defensive lineman. A CB makes sense, so does trading for a draft QB or one of the fifty guys who seemingly want out. But their front 7 is pretty good.

I would be happy with them only drafting defensive players.

No. it's my understanding that alabama is usually the strongest or second strongest team. i don't normally watch the amateur game and probably won't until the players are paid, but I've also been dealing with an enormous amount of upheaval and loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic which requires my full attention. truth be told, i haven't sat to watch a full game of football or analyzed much of any sport since 2019. With the help of the posters here i'm hoping i'll be more able to allow my mind to wander to relevant and realistic ideas about the NFL Draft sometime within the next six months. the power and indispensability of the mock draft and any opinion borne of a similar mindset has never been more evident or appreciated than right now, and it's all i'm asking of anyone. If anyone's got some good thoughts about where you think certain players are going to go, or who the best players are, or things of that nature, i'd really like it to be posted in this thread. Please send me a lot of information about making plays.

What are your thoughts on potentially guessing which teams will select which players on the upcoming draft? A hypothetical series of selections. It elicits conversation and dialogue amongst both team need and prospect skillset.
