Taking a WR in the first really screws up the rest of the draft. In my last attempt, I got OT Mayfield in the first. CB Melifonwu in the second. DL McNeill in the third. RB Sermon in the fourth. WR Seth Williams in the 4'th. In all of my attempts, Samuel Jr was there with the first pick. He was about 6 picks away from our second round pick. After doing these, I came to this conclusion. The way their site is setup, it's really tough to get a good corner and tackle if you do not take them in the first two rounds. WR's and RB's are good value in the 4'th round and later, no need to reach. DL is slim picking, too. I remember last year how Van Jefferson was available in the 4th in every single mock simulation I tried on there. I guess the Rams didn’t know that tho lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWhitehurst Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) This draft looks to have some WR's that surprise. I'm not as high on Toney as others are, given the limited route tree he worked. There is a bunch of talented slot WR's this draft, as deep as into the 5th round. He may not be a sleeper anymore, but fwiw, I'm impressed with what I see on film of D'Wayne Eskridge, WMU. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in round 3, before alot of other WR prospects from bigger D1 schools.

Think D'Wayne Eskridge is gonna be that guy that falls in the draft, and has a strong NFL career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Looking at Gute’s drafts, it seems like he’s building his post-Rodgers team. Gets a corner in his first year, EDGE and safety in his second, QB in his third. I understand you could just say he’s doing a BPA type thing, but Jaire was really the only one considered a need. Gary - we had the Smiths. Savage we had just signed Amos. Love we obviously have Rodgers. He’s very much a future needs drafter in the first round, and also very clearly a positional value guy. He’s also moved from his initial spot with every single first round pick except the Gary pick. Considering all that, I would be extremely surprised if he didn’t go OT here. If there’s anyone around worth it obviously. Wouldn’t be surprised to see another corner, DL or even EDGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT, CB or DL in the 1st and 2nd round with RB, EDGE, WR in the 3rd, 4th, 5th rounds and double dip on some of those spots. Sign a bargain free agt or two and all is good.

mikemike778 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Dunno who he is going to take but we need to stop trading up and giving up those mid-round picks. I've always thought we should always an OL somewhere between rounds 4 and 6 every year. They wont all hit but gives you a steady supply of them and if you do have a good job should always have a good OL without the need to pay old guys on 3rd contracts. Would probably add RB to that as well. Draft a running back around the 4th-6th every year as well. Never have to worry about depth or having to pay a position that gets old quick. So stop trading up.

Nothing big time but the price will be right on a useful player or two that's better than what the Packers have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Simms QB Rankings. Just found it interesting. I wasn't shocked. I saw an interview where Lawrence basically said he doesn't watch any football. At all. That's a bit of a red flag for me. And before you rip him, Simms has been pretty much spot on the last 3 years. He goes as far as to say Wilson is as talented as Rodgers and Mahomes (yea I hate Florio too) Wilson Lawrence Jones Mond Fields Lance Edited March 3, 2021 by cannondale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Simms really liked Ryan Finley. I enjoyed watching his analysis though. With you on the dislike for Florio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different than 100% of everyone out there. But I don't recall anyone being anywhere close on the guys mentioned above. I think he had Mahomes ranked first too, but dont recall exactly. And yes I even read Rodney for entertainment and take what I want and leave what I want. Edited March 4, 2021 by cannondale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
