Your First 3 rounds 2021

[Leslie Grossman]

I’ll send a carrier pigeon

Was going to send a raven then found out Theon killed them all.

Chad Reuter from nfl.com just gave us a pretty solid 3 rounds.

1. Rashawn Slater
2. Greg Newsome II
3A. Jordan Smith
3B. Aaron Banks

Thoughts? I wouldn’t be angry.

Seems to check a lot of boxes...I would be ok with it. Don't know a lot about Newsome, except that he has been popping up on boards higher each week it seems...think I spied him in the first round a couple of times?

He great in one on one coverage. I like him much more than some of the CB darlings like Wade, Samuel Jr, and Campbell. Reminds me of Stokes without the insane ball skills. Has a couple injury concerns, but he’d be a good compliment to Davis.

Wade isn't very impressive. Wouldn't surprise me if he was a 3rd-4th round pick. He fared well in the playoff game but before and after he wasn't that great.

I'd be fine with that draft... and TT gets to pick a Golden Domer.

[Leslie Grossman]

Hadn't yet heard of Banks, go figure a Golden Domer. Maybe one will pan out soon? Rochelle has been good for a 7th though.

Agree. Got a third round grade on him. Apparently some think he’s best as a slot defender. He’s a pretty good tackler so maybe that’s the right call.

Banks had a pretty good showing at the Senior Bowl. He’s enormous, like 340 lbs. So that’s a plus. Personally, I liked Hainsey better. He was Notre Dame’s RT but coaches played him at G/C at the Senior Bowl. And he looked great.

I’m not optimistic on Tillery. Fingers crossed for Tranquil. I like the kid and think he can become a solid starter...if he can stay healthy. Hopefully Alohi can make some noticeable contributions on ST. Still confused over that pick.

[Critty]

IMO, Kelley is an over achiever but also just a guy.
I hope he proves me wrong. But he lacks burst.
Not very versatile either.

If I'm building a RB by committee, then I want to ensure I have little drop off in skillsets of being able to be a great reciever out of backfield, and also making 1st guy miss.

I don't want to go from Ekie a guy with burst, vision, decisiveness, making 1st guy miss and ability to catch out of backfield and line up at reciever and run routes and even return punts and kickoffs if need be. To Kelley who is mostly just a guy who runs hard. So much versatility lost.

And if I want to run packages with 2 RBs I want all the tools and versatility from both on the field.

Najee Harris is a guy in this 2021 draft that should be of interest. He has all the tools.

And then in 2022 CJ Verdell also has all the tools.
That's a RB by committee that I think keeps the offense from missing a beat if anyone gets injured or even has to tap out for a breather for a series.

And then I think to duplicate bigger power back. Keep Ballage if he able to play well on special team coverage so he stays active as RB4.

2022 RBBC
Ekeler
Harris
Verdell
Ballage

I think Tillery might be best suited as the edge setter outside in an Eagle front. We don't want him at DT on first down, move him around. Need a great rush on the other side and from Murray up the middle.

I thought he would likely play DE at 4i
