Shelvin is a hard pass for me. Otherwise, solid draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how poorly he tested (even for a NT), Shelvin may not even be drafted at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, solid draft. I really like Washington. If the Cowboys decide he’s the guy at #44 and have a plan for him, then I’ll buy in on that. I just don’t expect it to happen, and there are others I prefer. Shelvin and Moses, though, yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 For the first time, I’m really starting to go through scenarios on how the top-10 could play out. If Cincinnati is set on taking Chase no matter what, which seems to be the case, then that pretty much kills the Kyle Pitts dream, since Miami would definitely draft him with Chase off the board. But a path to Penei Sewell really seems feasible. He’s very unlikely to go before #7. Detroit or Carolina could definitely draft him, but both teams are eager to trade down.

I am not entirely convinced Pitts is the proper fit for Miami. They have decent TE's. And given that Tua struggles with reading separation, I am not sure a high-point player is the best for his immediate growth. Smith makes a ton of sense for Miami.

They didn't make that immediate trade back up for Smith. They did it for Chase/Pitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found almost nothing in the reporting that indicates they prefer the Alabama receivers to those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ton of talking heads & news articles here pimp out Bama over others. Frankly, it could just be lazy writing added to my innate desire for it to be true.

If both Pitts and Sewall are somehow still on the board at #7, it’s time to start getting excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key for us is picks 4 to 7. Need Atlanta to trade with someone to take a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m leaning against this. Pitts is not likely to last no matter what happens at #4, but it could make a big difference for whether Waddle and/or Smith are there for NYG and Philly. Let the pass catchers go early, let chaos ensue for the QBs at pick 7-9. Take Sewell or a CB. Major win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be great if first 5 picks go: Lawrence, Wilson, Jones, Fields Chase. This would allow Miami to take their pick of Smith, Waddle or Pitts. Downside is Giants may have an option of the receiver that falls, Smith or Waddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it might make our odds worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
