Here's a sample of the middle of round 1

quote:

14. Baltimore Ravens
Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia

I thought about cornerback and offensive line here, but the Ravens have a real need in the middle of their defense. Davis is a 340-pound space eater with rare physical traits. Baltimore had success with a similar player in Haloti Ngata, who set the tone for some of the greatest defenses in NFL history.


15. Philadelphia Eagles (via MIA)
Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

Williams would likely be the No. 1 receiver off the board if he didn't tear the ACL in his left knee in the national title game in January. He's explosive but might miss some time early in the season. This would mean back-to-back-to-back first-round receivers for the Eagles, who might just move on from Jalen Reagor.


16. New Orleans Saints (via PHI/IND)
Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa

New Orleans made an interesting trade with the Eagles to get ahead of the Chargers, and it has to be for a tackle, right? Penning could step in and start at left tackle to replace Terron Armstead. He's a great player.


17. Los Angeles Chargers
Devin Lloyd, ILB, Utah

The Chargers would be extremely disappointed if the Saints took Penning; there's not another tackle I'd take this high. Still, they have a need at off-ball linebacker, as 2020 first-rounder Kenneth Murray has disappointed. Lloyd is a playmaker who flies to the football.


18. Philadelphia Eagles (via NO)
Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

This could be a defensive end, but the No. 2 corner spot on the other side of Darius Slay is a huge hole. McDuffie is a tough and physical corner with versatility.


19. New Orleans Saints (via PHI)
Kenny Pickett, QB, Pitt

Here we go -- the first quarterback. There just aren't many teams excited about the signal-callers in this draft. The Saints have a bigger need at tackle, which is why I went that way at No. 16, but this is good value for Pickett, who could compete with Jameis Winston for the starting job.


20. Pittsburgh Steelers
Malik Willis, QB, Liberty

The Steelers could get a quarterback and not have to trade up for him. I have Willis ranked just slightly over Pickett, and I think he has the highest ceiling of the guys in this class. He's super talented with a huge arm. We know Mike Tomlin & Co. heavily scouted the passers last month.


21. New England Patriots
Daxton Hill, DB, Michigan

What does Bill Belichick want from his defenders? Versatility. Hall played mostly as a slot corner last season and could help there for the Patriots. He ran a 4.38 40 at the combine and has long arms. This is a great fit. I also thought about cornerback Kaiir Elam, who would be more of a straight replacement for J.C. Jackson.

If pickett had .75 in bigger hands, would this still be a question?

They are probably better off not getting Hurts any weapons that can potentially mask his shitty throwing

Why do the Eagles continue to draft WRs?

WRs are the new hotness in the NFL. The game is so pass heavy and the veteran WR market is expensive AF.

Pickett over Willis then in his description of Willis says he has Willis rated higher than Pickett and Willis has a higher ceiling. This is the shite that pisses fans off w the mock draft experts

Dont ever let it be forgotten that Mel Kiper Jr eats an entire pumpkin pie with whipped cream for breakfast every single day of his life… That is a 100% true story .
