im not sure if phillips is good because idk wtf im looking at when it comes to pass rushers but you guys like him so i can get on board.. say phillips fall to 27 and we are able to grab him, would you all be ok with trading orlando to jags for that 2nd and maybe something else to maybe grab elijah moore if he is there?

2021 General Draft Thoughts
- Thread starter rossihunter2
- Start date
Great draft made even better with all of the draft picks you acquired for the next couple years!So PFF has a premium draft simulator. The simulator has trades. I hope you know where this is going. After a myriad of trials and jotted notes, here are the best results I've had thus far (Please keep in mind that I'm horribly behind in scouting and took several of these players based on the general thoughts from the media and people on this board):
Here's a link to the full version for authenticity (Link). Here are all of the picks for the following years (Link). Where do I send in my resume?
Phillips has the tools to be a really good Edge, the only reason he's in mocks falling to us is his injury history.
Pitts, Chase and Waddle are drafted, EDC can just go home at that point.
to me, phillips is a top 10/15 type edge based on his tape and his athletic traits - the injury history gives us a shot at him and if he's there it's probably worth a shot - he'd be a rare type of talent to be available to us where we normally pick
as for trading orlando for the 33rd pick - it's ok i guess but if we're targetting elijah moore there, then who's going to play RT for us in 2021?
don't get me wrong - that would be amazing to get 2 talents like phillips and moore in the same class but we'd also be opening up a hole at tackle and be forced to probably spend the 58th pick on a tackle no matter what players are still available at other positions
worth pointing out that josh rosen for some reason got crucified for these sorts of sentiments...
i've got no issue with them at all - just thought it was an interesting comparison from only 3 drafts ago

Well if Fields said what Sunshine said:
"These are the concerns that my sources were talking about with Fields."
"This is a big red flag. Head coach needs to have a sit down and say son, 'We're trying to win championships and I need you to be fully on board.'"
this is the part of the year when i start to get a bit bored playing with mock simulators because the values are so different on their boards vs mine that im often picking the same players most times
PFF seems to be really low on a ton of OL prospects - AVT, Creed Humphrey, Spencer Brown and many more
draftnetwork seems to be really low on lots of EDGE guys

my board is the smallest it's ever been since i started doing these boards tbf - not unsurprising especially given the way the season went and the option for guys to go back to school for an extra year if they wanted...
bodes well for those 2nd and 3rd year UDFAs/bubble types for sure though if there isnt an influx of younger slightly more controllable (contract-wise) talent
Not totally surprising but also surprising at the same time. I knew there would be less but that's a startlingly low number. The most interesting note was that some execs believe that they'll be drafting guys that would typically be UDFAs in the last couple of rounds.
im pretty sure the ravens normally feel mostly that way in the 7th round anyway so i cant imagine how they'll feel this year lol
The good news is that we have 72 on the roster and 8 draft picks, so only 10 spots to fill assuming we're going back to 90 this year. I know we typically like to stack UDFAs but if it's going to be as barren as they say...
I wouldnt ever sign with a nfl agent, especially as a rookie.. draft class is likely small but i dnt see why they analyze it by counting how many players sign with agents

Heard about that list on 105.7 this morning, they laid into that list and atypical of 105.7 they laid out a long line of details pointing out hypocrisy in the statements and reasonings behind the rankings
That's fine and all for the top guys but the lower ranked guys need agents. They need marketing and exposure to teams that they wouldn't get otherwise.

I'm at the point where I'm just tired of all the nonsensical this player will rise, this player will fall, and every other hot take there is. I'm just ready for the Draft to get started, the fact it still is two weeks away is crazy. Even now I feel like first three rounds should have happened, and tomorrow is Rounds 4-7.
it's bizarre because i really like rosenthaal and he's normally a really fair and well-researched writer...
Has anyone checked out Dazz Newsome, WR, North Carolina. Not saying for us, but he is my neighbors nephew. His best chance of making a roster is as a slot receiver and punt returner. I'm just curious if anyone came across his tape.
