Draft a RB. Carson is an often injured RB who would be a waste of cap space. There are three guys who are a cut above the rest of the RB's in this draft in Harris, Etienne, and Javonte Williams available day 1 or 2. Then there are some guys like Kylin Hill and Javian Hawkins who are 3rd day guys who can be of use. You don't pay a RB $7-$8M.

Guilty here. I just "knew" that Milano was gone. I had already started to give him a Jets jersey. Then, once Milano had re-signed, I just "knew" that Williams was gone and we were looking to add 2 OL'man in the first 3 rounds of the draft. Now I'm just along for the ride because I have absolutely no idea what this mf will pull off next.

Good for him. Glad he's gotten his personal life in order. It's probably even more tempting for him because he's rich, famous, and able to do or have pretty much anything he wants. He could go hang with all of the music stars and other star athletes who are out there "living it up" so to speak. Instead he has chosen a different path.

I'd rather draft Javonte Williams in the 2nd than send a 2nd over for Barkley and then have to pay him big $$$ on top of it.

Yes, but in my write up I also noted that some people see him as a G. Maybe that's what Beane sees him as and has him as BPA on his board? Who knows? We'll find out in a month and a half I guess.

Just ran this sim on PFN making a few moves to slide around the board. 51.Jaelan Phillips EDGE Miami (FL) 64.Javonte Williams RB North Carolina 67.Landon Dickerson OC Alabama 73.Hunter Long TE Boston College 93.Tyler Shelvin DT LSU 118.Paulson Adebo CB Stanford 159.Dazz Newsome WR North Carolina 211.Tommy Doyle OT Miami (OH

Age well? It was created yesterday, we've re-signed 2 people, and nothing else has happened yet. We still could very well take an OL'man in the first round. It will be Beane's BPA for sure though no matter who it is.

Wonder how the one who wears the pants in the family feels about this?

He (Cam) looks like a deranged Pilgrim

6-10 won't get you #1 and I think that's where they're headed. Side note: It's hilarious watching them come up with excuses for Cam's shortcomings on Get Up. First year in the system, he got Covid then missed a game, blah, blah, blah.

Tom Brady watching the Pats right now

They'll win too many games to get the #1 pick. They have a lot of players coming back who opted out.

I expect that as well, but Cam was horrendous last year throwing the football. His arm is toast. I watched him rear back and throw the ball as hard as he could just to get it 40 yards down field.

Apparently going to be a 1 year deal again and they are making it sound like he's just being brought back as an "option".

Just reported on Get Up. @ NE

Beane looking at the "What are the chances we re-sign Milano?" thread from Tuesday afternoon on.

My preferences if we go WR would be Terrace Marshall Jr or Nico Collins. I think Marshall could be off the board by our 1st pick and I'm not sure Nico makes it to our 2nd.

Wow. That means no Darryl Williams and no Feliciano I believe.

Clemson must not have any players too high on getting punched in the face and then biting knee caps on the way back up.

"Pat Mahomes Looks To Break Forrest Gump's Record In 2021 After OL Disassembled"

Now they're saying the starting C is likely to leave in FA too. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/11/report-chiefs-center-austin-reiter-likely-to-leave-in-free-agency/ Poor Patty next year after every snap

I had to look that up. I didn't realize he was listed at 285lbs. I thought he played in the 270's. If you watch him though he's got twitch and closing speed for a guy that size. You also see the functional strength he has when getting after it.

I usually do a Post-Combine mock draft every year and then an updated version a week or so before the draft. This year there is no Combine so I'll do a Pre-FA Mock and then an updated version just before the draft. Everyone has their own opinions as to whom is deserving of what round they belong in and where about in that round they should go. This is what I got so far, pre-FA and most of the Pro Days of course. 1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence / QB / Clemson - I think this pick is a forgone conclusion despite some people "liking" or talking up Wilson more than TL. The Jaguars haven't been stable at QB since Mark Brunell and that was a LOOOOOONG time ago. Sunshine has all the tools you look for in a QB and will fit in well in the Sunshine State. 2. New York Jets - Zach Wilson / QB / BYU - I hope the Jets do something stupid, like continue to believe in Sam Darnold, but I believe they take Wilson here. I think the kid is going to be good. This could be the long term answer they have been looking for at QB. 3. Miami Dolphins - Penei Sewell / OT / Oregon - The Dolphins continue to remake their OL by getting the best OT prospect in the draft. They got Wilson from Tennessee for peanuts to play RT and now Sewell to replace Tunsil, ironically with one of the picks they acquired from Houston for Tunsil. 4. Atlanta Falcons - Justin Fields / QB / Ohio St. - I know they are tied to Matt Ryan for at least another year, possibly two, but how many chances do you get to pick in the top 4? Might as well make the most of it taking one of the top 3 QB prospects in this draft with a lot of potential. This also gives the organization the chance to bring him along slowly learning behind the guy who has been the face of the franchise for a decade+. 5. Cincinnati Bengals - Ja'Marr Chase / WR / LSU - The Bengals need help all over the offense, especially on the OL. But the chance to get a WR like Chase here to pair with Burrow, especially since they already have chemistry, is too good of an opportunity to pass up. 6. Philadelphia Eagles - Micah Parsons / LB / Penn St. - Parsons is the best LB prospect in the draft. He supposedly had some off field stuff at Penn St. and is named in some former player's lawsuit against the school who is claiming he was harassed. Some people will say, "No way this high, the off field stuff!!!" or whatever. Either way, the Eagles see what Devin White has done for that Tampa defense and hope Parsons brings the same kind of life to theirs. 7. Detroit Lions - Jaylen Waddle / WR / Alabama - Goff is going to need weapons in Detroit if they expect him to succeed. Waddle has that same type of Tyreke Hill explosiveness when on the field in that he can take any reception to the house. If he doesn't get hurt then Smith doesn't win the Heisman. 8. Carolina Panthers - Kyle Pitts/ TE / Florida - This guy is Darren Waller 2.0 if you watch him play. He's gonna be a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses and gives Bridgewater another weapon in the offense. Yes, I say Bridgewater because I think they end up sticking with him after not being able to get Watson. 9. Denver Broncos - Patrick Surtain II / CB / Alabama - The Broncos have a need at CB and get arguably the best CB prospect in this draft. Surtain isn't the fastest CB in this draft, but he's polished, learned the game from his father who was a good NFL CB, and played at a high level at Alabama for 3 years. 10. Dallas Cowboys - Caleb Farley / CB / Virginia Tech - The Cowboys biggest team need hands down is CB. Farley and Surtain are neck and neck for the title of best CB in this draft. Speed, size, athleticism, Farley has it all, but only had one year of top tier CB play because he opted out of the 2020 season. Dallas gets their Byron Jones replacement here. 11. New York Giants - Devonta Smith / WR / Alabama - The Giants have 0 weapons on offense outside of the spotty hands of Evan Engram. When Barkley went down their season was pretty much over. You could argue OL help here, but I think they snag the Heisman Trophy winner who looks like he will make for an excellent NFL WR. 12. San Francisco 49ers - Mac Jones / QB / Alabama - The 4th Alabama selection in the last 6 picks? Yep. To me, Mac Jones screams "Shanahan-type QB". He was extremely successful at Alabama with a ton of talent around him. But if you actually watch him play, he's not the typical benefitting from the talent around him type of QB. He's extremely smart, goes through progressions, makes good decisions, and delivers an accurate ball almost every time. I think the fit is perfect here and SF needs a long term answer at QB. Hoodie kicks his dog after SF turns in the selection. 13. Los Angeles Chargers - Rashawn Slater / OT / Northwestern - The Chargers' biggest weakness is their OL and they take one of the top OT prospects in the draft to protect their 2nd year Franchise QB. 14. Minnesota Vikings - Gregory Rousseau / DE / Miami - Minnesota had Hunter get hurt, traded for Ngakoue, and then traded Ngakoue. They know edge rusher is a need and get arguably the most talented one here. 15. New England Patriots - Trey Lance / QB / North Dakota St. - No way Hoodie doesn't come out of the 1st Round with a QB this year. He's still pissed about Mac Jones going to SF, but takes a dual threat with a lot of potential at the QB position here in Lance. 16. Arizona Cardinals - Kwity Paye / DE / Michigan - Arizona will be looking to replace the production lost via FA in Haason Reddick and Chandler Jones isn't getting any younger either. 17. Las Vegas Raiders - Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah / LB / Notre Dame - JOK is one of those hybrid-type LB's who can line up in the slot to cover a WR, cover TE's like Kelce, attack the LOS, blitz off of the edge, defend against the run, and basically be out there for all three downs. He's good at all of those roles. The Raiders need help at the LB position and here it is. 18. Miami Dolphins - Zaven Collins / LB / Tulsa - The LB position was definitely a weakness for Miami last season even though they had a solid defense all around. Collins is a big, athletic LB who makes plays all over the field. Flores is the one banging the table for this pick and gets his guy here. 19. Washington Redskins - Kadarius Toney / WR / Florida - After Washington misses out on all of the top QB prospects they decide to get probably the 2nd best playmaker in the draft overall, next to Jaylen Waddle imo. Toney will make an impact in the WR room, as a KR, and PR if they choose to get the most out of his abilities. 20. Chicago Bears - Christian Darrisaw / OT / Virginia Tech - The Bears needs help along the OL, especially at OT. Darrisaw will help to sure that up for them, though they still don't have a LT option at QB on the roster. 21. Indianapolis Colts - Alijah Vera-Tucker / OT / USC - The Colts don't really have too many needs as a team if they get solid QB play from Wentz back under the tutelage of Frank Reich. They do have a need at LT though with Castonzo retiring. 22. Tennessee Titans - Christian Barmore / DT / Alabama - Putting Barmore on the DL with Jeffery Simmons will be a problem for opposing offenses. Barmore plays the run well and can get after the QB from the interior. Tennessee could go edge here as well, but I think they choose not to pass up on the talented Barmore. 23. New York Jets - Najee Harris / RB / Alabama - New York has an offense devoid of talent all over. They get their QB1 @ #2 and then get their RB1 @ #23 in the First Round. 24. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jaelan Phillips / DE / Miami - With Bud Dupree walking in FA the Steelers will need someone else to line opposite TJ Watt who can get after it. Phillips fits that bill and slides in right here. 25. Jacksonville Jaguars - Travis Etienne / RB / Clemson - How do you help the comfort level of your newly selected Franchise QB @ #1? You take a guy who was his teammate for 3 years and is a perfect fit for the offensive system you are about to install. Some will say this is too high for Etienne, but don't be surprised when this happens. 26. Cleveland Browns - Nick Bolton / LB / Missouri - The Browns still have a few needs on the defensive side of the ball with LB being near the top. Bolton plays the position with a chip on his shoulder and you see it on tape. The guy loves to hit people. The Browns see him as a good fit and an immediate starter who will make an impact. 27. Baltimore Ravens - Carlos Basham / DE / Wake Forest - Both Judon and Ngakoue are out in FA. That leaves edge rusher as the biggest need on this team, though some will argue it's WR. Even when Basham isn't getting the QB to the ground he's still in the backfield creating pressure. He'll thrive in that Ravens defensive scheme. 28. New Orleans Saints - Trevon Moehrig / S / TCU - They have no $$$ to sign anyone in FA basically. This is how they replace Marcus Williams, with the best S in the draft who has a ton of versatility. 29. Green Bay Packers - Terrace Marshall Jr. / WR / LSU - The Packers finally decide to get Aaron Rodgers another weapon in the WR group. Even with the fall-off in QB play at LSU this year he still amassed 48 rec for 731 yds and 7 TD's in 7 games without Jefferson or Chase to take any heat off of him. Imo, he is a star in the making. 30. Buffalo Bills - Teven Jenkins / OT / Oklahoma St. - Some people say that Jenkins is best suited for G in the NFL, but watching him I see a guy who can surely be a good RT in this offense. I also think the running game would improve as Jenkins is a powerful man who plays with a mean streak. 31. Kansas City Chiefs - Alex Leatherwood / OT / Alabama - The Chiefs cut both of their starting OT's. This is an easy peg. 32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Levi Onwuzurike / DT / Washington - This team doesn't need much. I mean they just won the Super Bowl, but they could use another good DT on the interior to line up beside Vita Vea.
