The 2021 NFL Draft

that seems like a huge reach

Barnes. Two needs in back-to-back picks.

 

[zyxt9]

Wow...well, they got an LB at least.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Eh. Another big 2 down LB. Hope we have a plan to cover guys out of the backfield. Tavai is gone.

 

[LKP]

Athletic linebacker.

Holmes nailed it. Got a 7th moving up 40 spots. Gave up 4th in 2022

It's the 4th round you never know at this point.

 

[grandy]

153 and 2022 4th for 113 and 257

Based on what, Mel Kipers rankings? lol

 

[Mitchrapp]

You guys keep mentioning Cox there is a reason he wasn't draft already..

 

[zyxt9]

They definitely seem to desire strength vs speed. I get they want to pressure the QB more, which is a good start for a rebuild. Maybe next year they will target more speed on D to cover receivers better.

yes...that's why I said it seems like a reach. Like most of us here, we know almost nothing about these guys other than college games we have watched and what we read.

I love the amon-ra pick. I remember watching him a few times and he reminds me of golden tate. Maybe not as tough, but the talent is there to be just as good.

Mel Kiper misses picks too.

 

[Mitchrapp]

You remember this.. "Who in the hell is Mel Kiper anyway?"

I?m ok w that. Last time we tried to go speed, we couldn?t tackle and went 0-16....

Holmes>>>>Kiper. By like a million in terms of football knowledge

Barnes can play inside or out

 

[503]

Looks like Holmes moved up at the perfect time. He started a run at the LB position.

 

[zyxt9]

Yeah, not taking Cox after trading up only for Dallas to take Cox with the very next pick feels like a SOL draft moment.

It literally changes my overall draft grade from potential A- to a B. They obviously did not like something about Cox, but it will be interesting to see if they made the correct choice.

Obviously scheme is a major factor, but this feels like a missed opportunity.

 

[Mitchrapp]

A player playing next to Aaron Donald must be best job ever. "You just stand there son and wait."

People complain we couldn?t pressure the QB and now that?s been addressed. Now folks are complaining about the coverage.

There was no chance we were going to be able to address every need this year, especially only having 5 picks.
