mack Jones to Saints

Interesting. Miami is going to get a ton of trade interest for that spot.

They could get a haul this year.

I guarantee we’ll be in the mix.

I’d be ecstatic if the top 7 went like this!!

Lance Zierlein put out a mock today, and he has us selecting Rashawn Slater. https://www.nfl.com/news/lance-zierlein-2021-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-patriots-49ers-select-qbs-in-round-1

Pick

8

 

Carolina Panthers

Rashawn Slater · OT

School: Northwestern | Year: Senior

 

While some believe Oregon's Penei Sewell has the higher potential upside, Slater is a low-risk, high-yield lineman who has five-position flexibility up front, a great deal of play strength and pro polish to his game.

I would be incredibly surprised if BOTH the Jets and the Dolphins fail to secure an opportunity to trade down. They could pick up a boatload of picks to help their teams.

Oh, and if Mac Jones is available when WFT picks, I'd be shocked if they didn't take him.

I think at this point any mock that has us taking a non-QB is coming from someone who hasn't done their homework. We either take a QB (trade up or not) or don't have a pick in the 1st round this year...

Hahaha!

That mock is the biggest example of fan pandering I’ve ever seen.

So Sewell goes to the cowboys and Justin Fields goes to the Patriots.

Right.....

They're doing that thing where they hype up the other top talent at the same position and wanting clicks/to be cute. 

I see the peaches between the leaches.

Don’t overthink, just hope it’s right.

That's the lamb kebab of Mock Drafts.

I don't think it's to be cute, I think these draft insiders might actually be getting these opinions (Rashawn Slater being better than Penei) from actual people in front offices around the NFL, they (front office people) throw it out there knowing it's completely false hoping it lets Penei Sewell to drop to them, if some other team bites on the hype and selects Slater first.  Even though is obvious to many that Penei is the better talent, teams still attempt that strategy hoping it works, doesn't hurt to try.  Happens for many other players as well.

I honestly would not be upset with Penai Sewell at #8 with a trade up back in the round 1 for Mac Jones/Lance or get Mond in the second/third.

Kentucky boy who speaks english, latin, and spanish, covers the Browns for CBS.

Thing is, he has a sports media background, not analytical or likely has an in with the right league circles.  Who knows though, maybe he's got some direct lines to the Browns scouting department but given their drafts, don't know if I'd align his thoughts with league wide consensus behind the media wall.
