2021 TPB Member's Draft Prospect Rankings

Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Bateman drafted over Devonta. I thought he was way slower than 4.41. Pleasantly surprised.

Love Bateman.
He’s my #2 WR prospect.

I just wanted to say that DS would be a steal at 47.

If for some crazy reason he escapes out of the first round I would definitely trade up to the top of the second round for day 2 to grab him. Burn our 2nd, third (lower 3rd), two six's and call it a day!

OK fellas. Pro Days are mostly over though im still interested in UABs w/ Edge Jordon Smith and WR Austin Watkins on the 9th.

Anybody going to update their rankings or still like them? Ive updated mine here and there and was going to expand it but decided not to after trying to add more table boxes. I can add more just decided not to.

Id be interested to see any changes you might make.

I’m still putting in the pro day metrics (waiting for UAB’s pro day Friday too). Mine will be finalized and posted next week along with my final mock.

Think his highest & best comp is Marvin Harrison.

Davonta Smith at 47 ?
Another KA ?

KA is 2+” taller and about 50# heavier. Smith is faster.
They are not comparable players.

That was college. He wont have it so easy in the NFL. They will try to knock him off his routes with his stature til he shows he can adjust.

I mention this often about prospects and ive only heard one guy mention this, and it was just recently........These top players in college the majority of the time are playing against guys that wont ever be on a NFL roster.

Chris Simms said that yesterday and i was like ....FINALLY.....someone says it.

There are like 110 Div I schools alone...not counting the other Divs and only 255 players will get drafted and then you have the UDFAs where only a handfull make a roster and less than that turn out like Ekeler and Gates. We have been very good doing that with those guys.

Davonta Smith is a talent but he is very slight framed and isnt strong. Sure DeSean Jackson has played 12 years and bounced around in doing so and had some injuries as expected but he also didnt go in the first round. He was the highest drafted of the guys you mentioned as a second rounder. The one that did go top 10 with that stature has been a bust (Austin)

I dont want to bet against DS but i sure dont want to use a top 15 pick on him either to find out. Ninja has a point. He didnt want to get weighed at the senior bowl and he just may come in under 170. Thats my concern with him. Too many question marks heading into the NFL.

I'm not spending #13 on him either. There will be others available there I like more. But if somehow the NFL allows him to drop to #47. I would pull the trigger and snatch him up. Unless some other player was shockingly there at #47 as well.

Smith destroyed man coverage. Anytime the DB line up to possibly press him they either failed to get hands on him or just didn't even try for fear of getting beat. And there are many ways to help get him space at the line of scrimmage from stacks to motion.,etc.

"This guy is a very, very good player," Brian Flores said of Smith after Tuesday's practice. "If you’re a good player, you can nitpick all you want about a guy's size. A good player is a good player is a good player. He made big plays in the biggest games of the year."

The NFL DB better win immediately when they press him at line or they will get roasted. Smith is so quick with such easy speed, and fantastic release, great hands, and tracks and high point ball. The only knock on him is that he is slim.

The Slim Reaper is a baller.
How many DBs at NFL level will actually press him and do it effectively when in SEC the DBs simply wouldn't or couldn't do it to him.

1at rd grade from me.

One of us will eat crow here and it could be me.
But I'm good with that.

He is a non draftable player until day 3 as a risk/reward prospect. If he weighs under 170# and under 6’, which I think he will, he just doesn’t have the physical makeup to play for me. He plays for the most talented team in college football and is never covered. He is going to get the shit knocked out of him by just NFL press coverage alone.
He’ll have his own career just not a good one so makes since that we’d draft him @#13.
