Verge's 2021 Mock Draft

[Jared Patterson]

If I could get a 1 next year and an extra 2 this year I am trading back unless a QB is there that we just have to have.

[Jared Patterson]

Verge, 

Is it true that Toney may fall to round 2?

With all respect and not to be argumentative, why?  2 + 2 = 4 in any zip code or time zone.  If something is demonstrably true, does it matter if said by D, R, conservative, liberal, boomer or millennial?  Facts are facts and ‘they’ are pretty stubborn about it.

Anyway, I’ve probably strayed too close to the Tinderbox and I come to the Huddle exclusively for Panthers conversation.

Grace and peace to you.  My apology to anyone I may have offended unless you are an Atlanta Falcons fan.

It was in jest. Totally agree with the Falcons fans comment!

David Carr

But it is funny that someone thinks they can validate a statement by using a rookie who was asked to start on an expansion team as a worst case or equal situation--but I would argue that Carr had better coaching than Darnold did. Either way, if Carr is the comparison, the point was made.

Lots of WR depth, could be. Some teams like Bateman more.

Carr was just the first name that popped in my head. Did Jamarcus Russell go into any better of a situation? The Lane Kiffen era of the late Al Davis reign was a poo show for the ages.  Did Blake Bottles go into any better situation? How about Trubisky playing for Adam Gase Jr.? How about Baker Mayfield who has had four head coaches in three seasons?

If you're a top pick, odds are you're walking into a poo show and they're hoping you're a big part of what's going to turn that poo show around. You either become a part of the turnaround or you become a part of the ongoing poo show.

Dont know--it is a good debate---Carr got the hell beat out of him, Russell got paid and got fat---and Trubiski and Mayfield got better when the situation got better---

And yes, the Jets were a poo show, so lets see how Darnold does--he has no more risk than Fields or Lance, imo--so lets see.  Gonna be a fun draft-season

The only reason he has less risk is because there's less investment. There's a higher likelihood of a high draft pick working out versus a former high draft pick bust. The successful bust reclamation projects are few and far between indeed.

Do you have an order who u think we like 1,2,3,4?

[The Lobo]

@Verge after I showed you that tweet Albright sent that said thinks we don’t have Sewell as our top tackle, do you think that’s true? If it is true who would the pick be at 8?

Quite a bit. If it didn't there would be no reason to call out the mike.

Seriously I’m not gonna argue about something that happens over 90% of the time... at least!

I believe Sewell is our OT1

Wildly inaccurate, especially in today's NFL. The nickel D is the defacto base defense in the modern NFL. Oftentimes in a nickel formation their is no "middle" LB. Even in a 4-3 formation you have over and under formations with the LBs shaded toward one side or the other. In a 3-4 alignment, there are two MLBs. Who's your Mike? It's all about the checking the OL protections.
