2021 NFL Draft

[JasonB]

Call me crazy, but...

Shane, Roberson, Granson, Williams, Moore, and Stephens?

[Pony81]

Shane, Williams, Stephens will get drafted in the later rounds
Moore and Granson will be UDFA.

[Pony81]

Roberson will also be a day 3 draft pick

[JasonB]

I think Granson will be a Margus Hunt like freak at the Combine because of his size-speed ratio.

Roberson I think is 3rd round, Granson 3rd-4th. Shane is a 5th rounder. Williams 6th-7th. Moore I think also will be 6th-7th because he can play special teams. Stephens is a big wild card, if he tests well I think he is 3rd-4th round. He was second in conference in pass breakups in his first season as a corner. But he has to run under a 4.5.

[Dement-ed]

Haven't seen Williams play, so I can't guess there.

Granson: 3-4
Roberson: 3-4
Buechele: 6-7

Not sure why all of you are ranking Shane so poorly. To me, he's a second- or third- round talent. Is next year's draft stocked with QBs?

[JasonB]

He doesn't have the measurables of the top tier QBs, and if you look at the draft this year, the next set slid considerably. There is still a limited number of top end prospects at the position, but QBs today are much better prepared to succeed in the NFL than in the past, so there is a lot more depth at the position than you have had in the past. Heck, the Washington State QB didn't even get drafted a year after Minshew showed he is a serviceable NFL QB.

[leopold]

Buechele will a look at the lower rounds, but I have to acknowledge that, barring injury, he isn't passing Fields or Lawrence.

Anybody hopeful Moore or McBryde get a look? I hope they at least play well enough to.

Moore yes. McBride would have to improve in coverage.

Ok, so I just did a pretty decent look at what folks out there think about him. He about the #9 or #10 QB in the draft -- so I'm with you. Many said that there are worries that 2020 was a "flash in the pan," but if he were to repeat or improve he could move up significantly. I guess we shall see how things go this year.

Our staff thinks he will be a lot better and that the offense will be more explosive. So, there is that...

[leopold]

He should have a better OL, two pass-catching TE's and the receiving corps could be even more explosive even with the loss of Proche. If we do find a running back, look out.
