Faust Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Quote NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein thinks Kellen Mond and other second-tier quarterbacks will be off the board on Day 2.Ā Zierlein speculates that Mond (6'3/217), Davis Mills and Kyle Trask are likely to be taken earlier than expected due to high demand at the position. The statement makes sense on it's face, as the jockeying to move up and select one of the top-five quarterbacks in this class is shaping up to be fast and furious. The teams who are shut out of the premium QB sweepstakes will now turn their attention to securing one of the next rung signal callers. It's interesting that Zierlein didn't mention Jamie Newman as being in the tier two mix.

Dulac points to the team's complete revamp of its offensive coaching personnel before letting James Conner walk in free agency.Ā The Steelers have the No. 24 overall pick on Day 1. Clemson'sĀ Travis Etienne is probably the draft's best back over Alabama's Najee Harris and North Carolina's Javonte Williams, offering elite edge and open-field ability to go with a three-down skill-set. Dulac believes the Steelers want to go back to an alpha approach after employingĀ middling committees the past few seasons.

Faust Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 31 minutes ago, JohnnyU said: paid content Odd as it loaded with no issues for me. I am not a subscriber to theĀ ESPN Insider program. Excerpts from the article: Quote Justin Fields, Ohio State Fields' game has been picked apart during the pre-draft process, but he'd almost certainly be the top quarterback in most other classes. He's a special talent. I've never wavered on making him my No. 2 signal-caller behindĀ Trevor Lawrence. Fields was questioned when he transferred from Georgia to Ohio State, but I love his competitiveness. He just wants to play. Does he have things he needs to work on? Of course. He had two bad games last season in which he compounded his mistakes and threw some ugly picks, but when he's at his best, he's phenomenal. Fields was the best player on the field whenĀ Ohio State beat Lawrence's Clemson teamĀ on New Year's Day. I really hope he lands with a team that has some weapons, and he'd be great for Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers. Projection:Ā I don't think Fields drops out of the top 10, even if it takes a team trading up to get him. Ā Quote Michael Carter, North Carolina Carter doesn't get much publicity -- he's not even the popular notable running back on his own team, as UNC'sĀ Javonte Williamswill likely get picked higher -- but I love the way he runs. He's tough to tackle at 5-foot-8. He carried the ball 514 times in four years for the Tar Heels -- and averaged 6.6 yards per carry. He led FBS with 18 rushes of 20-plus yards last season. He also posted back-to-back-to-back years with at least 20 catches. Carter is going to be a great addition for an NFL team. Projection:Ā Running backs are tough to gauge in the draft because how they fit a team really matters. I think Carter could go as early as the second round or as late as the top of the fourth round. By the way, Carter and Williams could both joinĀ Giovani BernardĀ as the the only North Carolina running backs taken in the first three rounds since 2000. Bernard went in Round 2 in 2013. Ā Quote Elijah Moore, Ole Miss Moore is going to be a quarterback's best friend. He is an explosive and versatile wideout who thrived in the slot at Ole Miss; 64 of his 86 catches last season came when he was lined up in the slot. And he did that in only eight games. He's one of the most pro-ready receivers in this class because a team can get him touches on Day 1 as a rookie. He'll be an instant starter. Projection:Ā I projected Moore to the Titans at No. 22 inĀ my latest mock draft, but I wouldn't be shocked if he slid to the top of the second round. Ā Quote Hunter Long, Boston College Kyle PittsĀ would have been the easy choice here, so let's highlight Long. He's big, tough and physical, and he can block. He'll also stretch the deep middle of the field -- he caught 57 passes for 685 yards and five scores last season. Thirty-nine of his catches last season were on throws between 5-15 yards downfield, which means he knows how to get open. That ranked as the third most in FBS. Long is a complete player, and young tight ends who can block are tough to find, so he's going to have a lot of suitors. Projection:Ā Scouts love Long's all-around game, and I recently highlighted him as aĀ player who could be a surprise first-round pick. He's likely to go in Round 2, though. No Boston College tight end has been picked in the first three rounds in the common draft era (since 1967). Ā 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
