D82 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I hate the idea of taking an OT high...but if neither Collins nor Smith returns, I guess I get it. The rest of the draft I like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the draft I like though. Yeah they might be in a tough spot, other needs they have are not really in that range of the draft. Trading out of it would make a ton of sense. I just assume Collins might kick into guard at some point and they were to terrified of what happened last year happening again they get some OT depth. Doubt they ever want Steele or Knight starting again. But sure if Smith comes back fully and they like Collins at tackle it probably will not happen. Not sure where else they go with it, Rousseau but probably not, Parsons for sure but he might not be there. Safety but none are worth that high of a pick. QB in Lance but that does not make sense if they want Dak as the man. Tough position and really should trade out. Pitts could make sense if he falls there but again a big if. Really that would be an idea situation to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a talent like Carman who can play OT or OG potentially would be a great move. Sure other lineman are in play as well but if Kelechi Osemele can play guard in this magical ZBS of the Chiefs, so can Carman potentially if the tackles come back perfectly healthy which is a big if. And since when is Carman a power player only, he has good feet for a big man and is not just a mauler but is actually good in pass pro outside of the last few games of the year. Radunz is a fine talent and could be a great pick also. But talk is cheap and sure some have their little pet teams, but there is also the bigger picture and at times the player falling and putting in the right range is more important that what team they are selected by because even this is horribly out of order because there are no COMP picks in it which will change everything all over again. Not to mention free agency or the pro day workouts changing things as well. Even if all of that is true, Radunz is much better suited to the blocking scheme. Carman may not be just a mauler--no one in the top ten OT is--but it's his biggest selling point. You should also bear in mind that the team has a comparable player in house--Lucas Niang. Talentwise he's very comparable, if not better, and he is fully recovered from his injury. They also picked up Prince Tega Wanogho, who was highly regarded last spring, so there is a lot of unseasoned talent already available. I doubt the team will be looking to go with very young players on both ends. As you say, FA will change others, eg re-signing Remmers or a comparable player. Also, either Fisher or Schwartz may have a year or two left. The C position is more likely going to be urgent. Reiter and Kilgore are both FA and Reiter is not a cheap re-sign. Creed Humphry is going to be high on the wish list. Because he's a lefty, he might slide to #32. WR is likely losing two key players--Sammy Watkins and Demarcus Robinson. They have a goo player to take over WR4, but they need fresh blood with upside. Travis Kelce is 31 and has no real backup. he also plays extensively out of the backfield. So, TE is a genuine need, though not necessarily an immediate starter. If you want to look at the big picture, try looking at the whole offense.

J Peni Sewell can throw dudes around and is a mauler when he wants to be, and Leatherwood can get pretty nasty but that was back when he was a guard on Alabama. Carman's biggest selling point is that he is a mountain of a dude with decent feet and could be a very good OG or OT. His upside is huge I feel. Niang I like and sure long term he has a future possibly with them. Prince Tega Wanogho was a great pickup, no clue why the Eagles just had him on the PS then let him walk at the end of the season. Ultimately though if the coaching and system in KC makes Mike Remmers look as good as he does, really who cares who they pick they will coach the guy up to be a good to great player. Remmers easily has never looked this good in his career, on the Vikings Remmers at guard he was a laughing stock and was flat out awful. Now he is playing tackle and doing a pretty damn decent job overall. So if they can get that from him they could maybe do the same with the likes of Niang and Prince. And they have Darryl Williams who has ability and Nick Allegretti is another example of a dude they have made look freaking awesome in that system. Andy Reid I assume has a lot to do with that OL success, because Allegretti has looked great at times this year and is what a 7th round pick. Wylie has done well for them at guard, Osemele was good in his old age before getting hurt. Also have Martinas Rankin who played center in college also and Yasir Durant the rookie. Not to mention Schwartz and Duvernay-Tardif both possibly returning. The healthy of Schwartz and Fisher is a concern, and Osemele is gone I assume also but still that is pretty solid either way, even with Remmers gone. So maybe OL 1st round should be thrown out the window, especially if they sign Dieter. Maybe they should go LB or another DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe OL 1st round should be thrown out the window, especially if they sign Dieter. Maybe they should go LB or another DE. Sewell is the #1 non-QB in the whole draft by at least one list, certainly top 5. He's not an appropriate standard. The point is that Niang is already as good as Carman, Eichenberg, Cosmi, Leatherwood and Radunz, ie the second tier. The Chiefs won't get an upgrade with any of these players, plus Niang has been on board and knows the system. If someone like Mayfield or Vera-Tucker slides to them, that's different. Value is its own justification. Carman lacks value at #32. Remmers has done well at OT. The team clearly likes what he gives them. Whether they can retain him is another question. Rankin was drafted as an OT, though the Chiefs have mostly played him at OG. The prospects of a C on the roster are not bare. I have not seen Rankin associated with C, but Allegretti has been, as has Darryl Williams. OG has Allegretti, Rankin, LDT, Yasir Durant, and Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVRamsFan Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 When do comp picks get finalized? Rams actually add a few picks when that happens so I'm curious how that plays out with these mocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've traded comp picks before with the condition that if we didn't get one the pick became our own pick in that round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I believe the Rams according to what I have looked at have 3 picks as of right now, Seattle has 4. Those are the bottom two in the NFL, so they better hope for some comp picks. And the Rams just traded away two first round picks in 2022 and 2023 and a 3rd rounder in 2021. They clearly do not like drafting football players out there in LA I guess. Probably is worth it though with the upgrade in arm talent with Matthew Stafford. And I still recall arguing with dudes back in the day that said Sam Bradford was so much better than Stafford, bull****. That dude has absolutely elite level arm talent and will be interesting what he can do with a team that can run the ball, protect the passer and play D. I assume they upgrade their center in the draft but maybe they like the guys they have in Blythe and the backup potential guys in Allen and Shelton.

CT Cowboy Fan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 This would be an absolute home run for the cowboys, but I doubt it happens. You have us getting 4 bonafide/borderline 1st round talents in (Slater, Moehrig, Horn, Bolton) in the first 4 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not view Horn as a 1st round talent, maybe I need to watch him some more but the Auburn game this year was his best by far. 2 INTs and 4 Passes deflected, he was not that productive his entire career and that was the best game of his career and only game where he even had a INT. Looked like the best corner in the country in that one though. But overall but he does get beat quite often and has in his career, could be still developing maybe. Sure was not a ton of help around him on South Carolina but at times he did struggle in coverage. Tough confident player but is not some promise he is a future star just because he dad played in the NFL either. Possibly I might have him a little low but again he did not play always like he did against Auburn this year. Also with Bolton I like Britt and some others more than him and think he is getting a little overrated in the process. Moehrig I might have too low as well and will see if Dallas even wants a OT, that might not happen if they are confident in the health of Collins and Smith coming back.

Ozzy Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Had to take these guys out of the mock because they are returning to school for another season. And sadly Collin Miller has retired from football, was having a great season for Nebraska but got a spinal injury and now his career is over. Mike Harley Miami FL SR WR Cameron Goode Cal RS SR OLB Collin Miller Nebraska RS SR ILB Zach VanValkenburg Iowa SR DE Brian Robinson Jr Alabama SR RB Greg Eisworth Iowa State RS VanValkenburg is coming back to school taking a advantage of the extra year of eligibility because of COVID-19, great move by him. Here are some others that are doing the same that I have heard of. Players who were seniors or RS SR prospects and got another year of eligibility because of the pandemic. QB D'Eriq King Miami FL RS Charlie Brewer Utah - from Baylor Chase Brice App State - from Duke/Clemson Jack Coan Notre Dame - from Wisconsin McKenzie Milton Florida State RS - from UCF Bailey Hockman Mid Tennessee State RS - from NC State Nick Starkel San Jose State RS Kenny Pickett Pitt RS Jake Bentley South Alabama RS - from Utah/South Carolina Anthony Brown Oregon RS - from Boston College RB Brian Robinson Jr Alabama RS Ty Chandler UNC - from Tennessee Shai Werts Louisville RS - from Georgia Southern Stephen Carr USC RS Vavae Malepeai USC RS Ronnie Rivers Fresno State RS Bradrick Shaw NA RS WR Mike Harley Miami FL Ty Fryfogle Indiana Johnny Johnson III Oregon Theo Howard OU (possible transfer) Matt Landers Toldeo RS - from Georgia KD Nixon USC - from UCF Danny Davis III Wisconsin RS TE Seth Green Minnesota (possible transfer) Blake Kern Arkansas RS Lucas Krull Pitt RS OT Thayer Munford Ohio State RS Zion Johnson Boston College Stone Forsythe Florida RS George Moore Oregon RS OG Ryan Liam Washington State RS Zion Johnson Boston College Stewart Reese Florida RS C Chris Owens Alabama RS Liam Shanahan LSU RS DE Zach VanValkenburg Iowa RS Scott Patchan Colorado State RS - from Miami FL Big Kat Bryant Tennessee - from Auburn Drew Jordan Michigan State - from Duke Glen Logan LSU Mandy Alonso Virginia DT Haskell Garrett Ohio State RS Antonio Shelton Florida RS - from Penn State DaQuan Newkirk Florida RS - from ILB Nate Landman Colorado RS James Skalski Clemson RS OLB 3/4 JoJo Domann Nebraska RS Cameron Goode Cal RS Tomon Fox UNC RS SR OLB Noah Burks Wisconsin RS OLB Kuony Deng Cal RS Will Honas Nebraska RS Tevin Paul Cal RS (not sure, did sit out the 2020 season) Kuony Deng Cal RS Jermaine Johnson Florida State - from Georgia Deandre Johnson Miami FL - from Tennessee CB Jack Jones Arizona State RS Coney Durr Minnesota RS S Joey Blount Virginia Greg Eisworth Iowa State RS Tre Webb San Jose State Marquel Dismuke Nebraska RS Brad Hawkins Michigan Nolan Turner Clemson RS Tony Adams Illinois RS Sure there are more I have missed, one has to literally type in on a search each player to see if they are in the draft this year or not. Kind of a mess and no real one location for all that information. Even transfer portals are hard to track most of the time.

animaltested Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Spencer Brown fits the profile for what Seattle wants at OL. Probably need to kick inside to LG for 2021. That being said, Seattle does rarely drafts outside the P5 in days 1 and 2. Only Rashad Penny (SDSU), Shaq Griffin (UCF), Rees Odihamdo (Boise St), and Bobby Wagner (USU). Thats 11 years worth of draft classes, 40+ picks; 4 non-P5 picks. In fact the highest non-FBS player drafted was Ty Smith from Towson in the 5th Round of the 2015 draft. PCJS have picked only 6 non-FBS players ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
