THE DUKE Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Only way I trade from 5 to 12 is if we get a 2nd this year and a 1 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect we would get something along those lines. I didn’t include that in the trade, but I for sure want to load up on more picks in this draft, and if there’s a QB sitting there at 5, we would be dumb to not entertain the offers. Pitts is going to be an absolute nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t then it obviously changes everything. If you haven’t looked up those receivers yet, do yourself a favor. This is a deep receiver draft again this year.

THE DUKE Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Fired up the mock draft machine at PFN. I thought long and hard about a trade offer from Detroit. With Penei on the board they offered 7, 41, and their 2022 1st. I turned it down, but in hind sight I think I would have taken it. Maybe not, tough call. Top 4 went Lawrence, Chase, Smith, and Fields. Lions ended up taking Zach Wilson at 7, so if I knew they were trading up for a QB, and I knew I would have only one other pick being the Eagles, that might have changed things. Then again, I think Penei is the last premier player at that point. Other targets went: Surtain (11), Pitts (14), Darrisaw (15), Barmore (18), Cosmi (26), Slater (29). Had I traded down and Penei went 6, then I probably would have tried to trade down again with Lance there (who went 8). 5. Penei Sewell OT Oregon 38. Carlos Basham Jr. EDGE Wake Forest 69. Ifeatu Melifonwu CB Syracuse 104. Marvin Wilson DT Florida State 135. Ben Cleveland OG Georgia 168. Josh Palmer WR Tennessee 198. Riley Patterson K Memphis 200.

Beck Bristow Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I don't get very tempting trade offers anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 So I did lots of trade downs. Decent players acquired and well set up for next year. Value i got for 5 is less than it should be, but fun to look at anyway. 39. Jalen Mayfield OT Michigan 48. Terrace Marshall Jr. WR LSU 59. Carlos Basham Jr. EDGE Wake Forest 64. Dillon Radunz OT North Dakota State 69. Brevin Jordan TE Miami (FL) 73. Elijah Molden CB Washington 89. Tommy Togiai DT Ohio State 199. Benjamin St-Juste CB Minnesota 201. Alaric Jackson OT Iowa 2022 SF 1st 2022 SF 2nd 2022 CLE 2nd 2022 DEN 3rd 2022 LV 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Listening to a few different podcasts, i'm getting the impression that Sewell will likely be there at 5. i'm also getting the impression that the Bengals taking him there may not be anywhere close to a lock.

Yeah, Daniel Jeremiah has Slater as OT1 (his arms better measure 34+" if that's the case), and there is other talk about Sewell being on a similar tier with Slater and Darrisaw and not some generational lineman prospect. Going to be a lot of smoke over the next few months and with Sewell and Slater not playing this year, the smoke will be thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devonta Smith backers question everything about Chase because he opted out from his heart to his leadership to his validity as a human being.
