2021 NFL Draft Gameday Draft Thread

All jokes aside I think Ben Mason probably going to play tight end as well as H back

 

[purplepittabread88]

he's good - but unless Pat Ricard spontaneously combusts, Ben Mason will not be making the 53

Im scared Mason will be a phantom Ir to let Pat walk next year.

I think it’s a must that we draft a Michigan player every year.

harbs making that deal with EDC so lil brother Jim can use that as ammunition during his recruitment process.

this is my only logical explanation lol

I dont think were replacing Pat lol. I just dont understand this pick, prob wouldve went undrafted

nah he'd have been drafted - he's really good
it's just that we already have a pro bowl FB who's an absolute mauler

 

[Sandtown]

Mason had a 37.5 vertical and 6.97 3 cone time that's pretty impressive .

I remember seeing him mocked to the Pats in day two, but can[t remember where I saw it.

Does this mean we want to convert him into a DT?

M

Daelin Hayes, Edge ND. Never heard of him.

very hybrid type of player, real OLB, impressive first step, flexible, drops very well into coverage, solid length, good motor, effective blitzer.

play strength could be much better, plays better in space than he does engaging/stacking/shedding, raw with hands. Has pass rush traits but doesn’t jump off film as a stand-alone edge rusher. Could be of use in our defense twisting and stunting, dropping into zones, attacking screens, and should make his money in the flats.

Maybe we see him as a TE? We did need a 3rd one as a blocking guy, esp for insurance with Boyle getting hurt last year

I don't know but it would be interesting to see him move to tight end and used occassionally at fullback/h back. This way it would allow Project Pat to play both fullback and defensive end more next year if he makes the team.

welp thats a wrap yall. Unless we trade back into the draft but i doubt it

 

[JoeyFlex5]

Lol stupid

 

[rossihunter2]

welp thats a wrap yall. Unless we trade back into the draft but i doubt it

then it'll be UDFA time - the benefit to being finished already means we get a head-start on the udfas we like (as long as they don't get drafted)

fully expect us to find a role player out of UDFA i mean. We do it every year. Any developmental tackles left?

Random thought but maybe they want to move on from Boyle. Edc drafted Mason because of his blocking and Boyle's mainly here to block.

 

[ndub]

Lol stupid

Ah yes, drafting a tough, versatile, athletic FB/TE mix is very stupid. Stupid

 

[rossihunter2]

probably more about the 3rd TE spot than Boyle - eric tomlinson and josh oliver were the only guys on the roster competing there and the 3rd TE role is a blocking only type role in this offence

i doubt boyle's going anywhere anytime soon (didnt they just extend him a couple of months ago?)

You don’t just replace nick boyle, he’s different as a blocking TE, like really different, and he’s really underrated as a receiver too
