The Dallas Cowboys select Pete Werner, LB, Ohio State

The Cowboys almost took Werner at #115 (which Staylor can attest to) and are absolutely thrilled that he fell to #138. The Cowboys had a 3rd round grade on Werner and view him as incredible value at the end of the 4th.

The Cowboys draft so far is not flashy, but the team is very happy with how things are playing out.

MahomesMagic sent me his pick

The New England Patriots select Chris Rumph, EDGE, Duke

Great pick.

And thank you for saving me from the wrath of Chiefs fans after going OL with 3 of my first 5 picks lol.

But:

Cosmi - Thuney - Meinerz/Green - Green/Meinerz - Niang

That’s a great OL for 2022-2025.

A lot of youth, but agree it would be a solid foundation for years to come. Green is a weird prospect because he declared late. A lot of people (media) haven’t fully evaluated him yet. His size is a slight negative, but his motor, athleticism, and intelligence are a huge plus. I think he will carve out a solid role in the NFL as a starter.

Yea the idea would be to have stop gaps in front of all of the rookies (at least going into camp) with the hope that they’ll all be ready to start by 2022.

For those 4 years, you could possibly get solid to elite OL play with everybody but Thuney on rookie deals. This would allow you to spend money on weapons and defense.

A vent cover pops out near the stage.

A face appears inside the vent.

"Is this Nakatomi Plaza?", he asks.

https://img.cinemablend.com/quill/4/...20e0514777.jpg

"It's not? Well, yippee-ki-yay, m***********s."

He pulls himself back into the vent, then stops.

"Oh, and the Los Angeles Rams select Wyatt Hubert, DE, Kansas State. Welcome to the party, pal."

Kollman coming in with a dumbass take.

Parsons is a bonafide stud. McGrone is emerging but still has coverage issues and can't hold Parsons' jock coming downhill. There is no ****ing comparison, at least yet.

Yea I don’t agree with his take, just posting the video.

Just now seeing this. Only thing I’ll say is if the Jets pass on Zach Wilson for Kyle Pitts then Jets fans will have the guillotine ready for Joe Douglas in Times Square.

Parsons is the most shit on prospect since Dez Bryant. I dont get it.

Talent should not be questioned.

He has to answer some questions pertaining to character however...

An athletic young man from the 1890s enters the stage, wearing his vintage Yale football jersey.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ffelfinger.jpg

He nods toward the audience.

"My name is Pudge Heffelfinger. I started playing football at a young age," he says. "I was born in Minneapolis, and when I was in high school I would suit up for the University of Minnesota."

https://digitalcollections.hclib.org...ighlightTerms=

"Statistically, the best team I ever played on was the 1888 Yale football team. We went 13-0 and outscored our opponents 698 to 0 on the season. But I personally thought our 1891 team was the best team I ever played on. We went 13-0, outscored our opponents 488-0, and we were named the national champions. Here's a picture of the team. I'm the guy at top right."

https://www.frankhinkey.com/resource...=1493598975117

"But you may know me best for another thing. You see, I was kind of the guy who started this whole thing. I am the first professional football player ever. I was paid $500 by the Allegheny Athletic Association to play in a game against this Pittsburgh Athletic Club. Here's the receipt. This is the equivalent of about $15,000 today for one game."

http://stmedia.stimg.co/NEWname.png?w=970

"So I'm here today to announce the pick of another young man who, if he applies himself, might one day also get paid $15,000 for one game. Good luck to you."

He looks at the paper.

"The Minnesota Vikings select Osa Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA."

http://stmedia.stimg.co/desktop.jpg?w=970

Pudge dispatches a Western Union telegram to the next drafter on the list to let him know he's on the clock.

The Kansas City Chiefs select Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana

I know, I know. “WTF are you doing staylor? No edge rusher?”

I’m sorry guys, but the Chiefs are getting value in every single round here while filling other positions of need (for now and the future), but it just so happens that the stars haven’t aligned for an edge rusher just yet.

There are still a handful of guys I like, and if this were a real draft, I’d probably be using my 2 5ths to trade up and get one. But when you’re picking at the bottom of every round, you absolutely have to get value as much as you can.

McGrone and Johnson are terrific values in the 4th. I have both of those guys inside my top 100, so I’d be crazy to pass them up at the bottom of the 4th.

There are also a few free agents left, and I’m pretty confident that we end up with 1. If I were the GM, I’d be signing somebody like Ingram immediately after the draft.

The Jacksonville Jaguars select Stone Forsythe, OT, Florida

The Jaguars get two young tackles in Hudson and Forsythe to push Robinson and Taylor who still haven’t proven themselves.

I personally like the pick (and logic).

This will be a hot take for some... but Clark, Taco, Danna, and Ward spelled with Chris Jones playing 30-50% of his snaps at end (as rumored thanks to the Jarran Reed signing) is a servicable unit without any additions. Sure, it would be great to upgrade now with the recognition that we probably lose Clark and Reed in 2022... But it's not a must. I'd also argue that any edge drafted after the 2nd probably doesn't provide an immediate impact in 2021 in contrast with Taco, Danna, and Ward. If we don't get one early, hold off until next year (no issue still taking a late flyer again like Danna).

Clark-Reed-Nnadi/Saunders-Jones (when Jones is split wide) is probably in the top half if not top third of starting units.

Clark, Reed, Jones, Charlton should be more than enough IMO

The New York Jets select Bryce Hargrove, OG, Pittsburgh..

Someone sold me on Jordan Smith UAB as an edge this week. He went 4th round here
Would be thrilled if KC grabbed him 3rd round this year.

I love Johnson and think he's a high day 2 pick. I don't mind McGrone at all in the 4th either, for the record.

The Atlanta Falcons select Thomas Graham Jr, CB, Oregon

McGrone is a real nice player. I think he's a 2nd/3rd round talent.

ReachSNR is OTC and that makes me smile.

Reach this.

The Cincinnati Bengals select Divine Deablo, S, Virginia Tech

Bengals were bad on offense without Burrow, but they were even worse on defense. Can't hurt to have one of those robber-types. Has the size, length, and speed, so if he gets good coaching, he's a critical piece to the Bengals becoming good again.

Titty has been PM'd

With the 151st pick, the Carolina Panthers select Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina.


I guess it's time to stop the slide for a mid-day-two player. The Panthers get a reserve back that can come in and spell Christian McCaffrey and provide them with a similar skill set in more of a Clyde Edwards-Helaire body. They just keep movin' baby.

Direckshun - this is the slide I was thinking/talking about WAY back in the thread. Carter seems to be consistently rated as the 4th or 5th back in the draft with big board grades between 50-80 (mid 2nd to mid 3rd). I do think he falls in real life, though maybe not as far as here in the CP Mock. He's undersized and a jack-of-all but master-of-none type back, so ultimately I think Sermon and Gainwell go before him.

The Broncos score some versatility for their defense while getting someone on their board who has second-round value. The question is, does he have the durability to succeed?

The Denver Broncos select Talanoa Hufanga, S, USC.

The New York Jets select Camryn Bynum, CB, California.

Time to drop Rashod Bateman out of the first round.




<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rashod Bateman ...<br><br>Listed size: 6&#39;2&quot; and 210 pounds<br>Pro day: 6&#39; and 190 pounds<br><br>We thought we were buying Davante Adams, but we were sold Marqise Lee. <a href="https://t.co/hPvGX4emzR">pic.twitter.com/hPvGX4emzR</a></p>&mdash; Matthew Freedman (@MattFtheOracle) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattFtheOracle/status/1379079808739590152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 5, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That wouldn't stop me.

Ummm no

As the big dummy who took Lee in the 1st for KC in this Mock. Now a hard pass.

Also, NOW the J-E-T-S trade Sam? LoL!

I was hoping he would fall just a little more.

Nice pick.

As GM, what’s your plan for the Jets at this point? Alex Smith? Jameis Winston? Find a way to trade for Desean Watson and hope you get a season out of him before he goes to jail? Call the Panthers back and inquire about Bridgewater?

A smallish figure shuffles onto the stage, wearing a harmonica and carrying a guitar.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the announcer says. "To make Minnesota's next pick, we are proud to present Minnesota native, Nobel prize winner, and folk singing legend Bob Dylan!"

https://img.apmcdn.org/e2db34e0e0314...521-dylan6.jpg

Dylan steps to the microphone and then plays the first few bars of "The Times They Are A' Changin'" as the crowd goes wild.

He nods in acknowledgement, then stops and opens a piece of paper.

"Wida pi'nna inffldrf, da Mnnsa Vngs seljannen gahtete."

He waves at the crowd and leaves the stage to great applause.

https://static.independent.co.uk/s3f...ebp&quality=75

There is a moment of confusion. Roger Goodell steps out, then speaks to someone off stage. He disappears, then reappears and walks to the podium.

"Thank you, Mr. Dylan," he says. "We appreciate your announcement that the Minnesota Vikings select Jack Anderson, G, Texas Tech."

The plan was always the same. I can only go on the facts. When we started Sam was a Jet. If the trade happened prior to us beginning then only a slightly different plan. Sub Wilson for Pitts.

Sorry - that post wasn't intended to read as facetious! I am genuinely curious how you would pivot now if your owner forced that trade on you now (in the 5th round)? You've added a lot of weapons (Pitts) support (Jenkins, etc.) - which QB route would you take to maximize the Jets success this season?

Personally, the Alex Smith or Jameis Winston options seem really servicable for a season before drafting QBOTF next year. I'd probably go with Winston out of those two.

I'll observe that the Vikings sure have a lot of picks. I've taken eight guys so far and still have another pick in this round.

Always and forever AS11.

****OFFICIAL 2021 Saccopoo CP Mock Draft Thread****
 

The Los Angeles Chargers select Janarius Robinson, DE, Florida State



So far, the Chargers have had a perfect confluence of luck - with need and BPA matching up at many of their earlier picks.



Scanning the board, the Chargers see a DE with the upside to be a dynamic bookend for locked-up franchise cornerstone Joey Bosa, and don't hestitate to shoot their shot at him.



With Robinson, the Chargers gain someone with first-round physical ability and hope that improved coaching can unlock his full potential.

Sfeihc sent me his pick

The Buffalo Bills select Drake Jackson, OG/C, Kentucky

The Las Vegas Raiders select, Paddy Fisher, LB, Northwestern

Just seems like an old school guy Gruden would want.

The Indianapolis Colts select Justin Hilliard, LB, Ohio State

Love this guy - raw, but athletic as heck and fights for the ball.

Me too.

Really don't want to see him go to the Raiders, but its not like Carr can get him the ball. :evil:

I was tied up today, but my pick is coming soon. It's hard to keep finding players for the Vikings since I've given them an entire roster already.

The top long snapper is still on the board... o:-)

The announcer's voice booms over the speakers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to introduce our next draft selector, Mr. Ralph Samuelson!"

Ralph comes out on stage. The announcer continues.

"Minnesota is the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Before Ralph came along, it was not possible to ski on any of them. Because as we all know, Ralph invented water skiing in 1922 on Minnesota's Lake Pepin!"

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Samuelson.jpg

Ralph looks around in mild confusion. "I'm seriously the most famous person you can find at this point?"

Goodell shrugs.

"Okay, then. The Minnesota Vikings select CJ Verdell, RB, Oregon."

Give me 10 minutes to make my pick, guys. Sorry about that

With John Dorsey gone, the Browns dedicate this quick-twitch midget gadget selection to his memory.

The Cleveland Browns select Demetric Felton, WR/RB, UCLA

Can somebody PM the next guy?

SNR grabbed my guy...

The Baltimore Ravens select Joshua Kaindob, EDGE, Florida State.

In their last pick in the 5th round, the Ravens continue to reinforce their pass rush with a long, rangy athlete who has all the physical tools and could work as a 5-tech or a stand-up OLB.

Damn it man. I wanted one of the FSU edge rushers for KC and you took both this round :cuss:

Damn it Burt. Take your Chris Ballard pants off and start getting aggressive!
