Set: Quarterback, running back, cornerback As the title suggests, the focus of this article is on needs.  We’ll discuss some depth moves as well but the Bengals have both Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon under contract until 2025 so they’re relatively “set” with starters.  They may have released Gio Bernard but Trayveon Williams actually graded out surprisingly well in pass blocking (which was Gio’s specialty) and they have him and Samaje Perine under cheap deals until 2023 so I don’t s...

FanPost REMINDER: THE LAST TEAM TO MAKE THE SUPER BOWL WITH A ROOKIE LEFT TACKLE WAS THE 2001 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS By BispoMiege on Apr 17, 2021, 4:24pm CDT + Just leaving this here as a reminder to all of us. We need to figure this out fast. Swing a trade for someone, sign Okung, bring back Fisher, SOMETHING. Do not fall into the trap of hoping that the 6th best tackle in the draft will be good enough to get us to the Super Bowl, because history shows us that they most likely wont ...

Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images On its own, it’s hard enough to predict how the NFL Draft might go. It requires not only a solid knowledge of many hundreds of college football prospects but also the specific needs of 32 NFL teams. Adding potential draft trades to the equation makes it all the more difficult. Some analysts traditionally shy away from the additional challenge by completely ignoring the possibility they will happen. But in 2021, multiple teams have already made draft tra...

DAY ONE OPTIONS Rashawn Slater, Northwestern (6-3, 305): Slater probably won’t be around when the Titans pick at No. 22, so it’d likely cost general manager Jon Robinson to get him. Arguably the best tackle prospect in the draft, Slater opted out of this past college football season. But he started 37 of 38 games in the other three seasons. He has played both tackle positions and consistently troubled talented Big Ten pass rushers, including rising star defensive end Chase Young (Ohio Stat...

What signing Jadeveon Clowney might mean for the Browns’ draft plans: 2021 NFL mock draft 7.0 Updated 6:00 AM; Today 6:00 AM The Browns signed Jadeveon Clowney on Wednesday, which could have an impact on how they attack the 2021 NFL Draft.AP Facebook Share CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns finally landed the player they’ve been chasing for more than a year in Jadeveon Clowney, a player who can take some pressure off Myles Garrett. So what does that mean for the Browns’ draft, especially wi...

Set: Quarterback, Running Back The team has all world quarterback Patrick Mahomes and he’s not going anywhere.  For now, they have Chad Henne at backup and he’s a free agent next year, but this obviously isn’t a glaring need.  Perhaps they could take a future backup QB but then they’d have to carry three on the depth chart.  They also just used a first round pick on Clyde Edwards-Helaire last year, Darrell Williams proved serviceable (especially on passing downs as CEH gets acclima...

3 perfect options for Chiefs at No. 31 in 2021 NFL Draft April 16, 2021 The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the most complete rosters in the NFL, but their ugly Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers showed there’s still plenty of room for improvement in order to get back to the mountaintop.  Below are three options to help the Chiefs hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy again.  1. Liam Eichenberg, OT, Notre Dame  Recency bias is real. The memory of seeing Patrick Mahomes run for his life i...

Fifteen days. In 15 days, there will be no more national mock drafts. For now though, lets all take the time and appreciate the hard work The Athletics draft expert Dane Brugler put in this year, culminating in his seven-round mock draft, which dropped Wednesday morning (subscription required). Working through the Colts six draft picks in the 2021 NFL Draft, Brugler tried his best to address some serious holes on the Colts roster, starting off the draft by addressing pass rusher and offensiv...

Apr 15, 2021 Mel Kiper Jr., ESPNs premier draft analyst, made two selections on behalf of the Kansas City Chiefs in his latest 2021 NFL mock draft, and both selections make a ton of sense for the Chiefs. The hesitance in the headline stems from the fact that — generally speaking — Im left unimpressed by most non-Kansas City-based mock drafters when they choose for the Chiefs. Its tough to fully understand a teams needs and tendencies if youre not specifically covering that organizatio...
