Day 3 2021 NFL Draft Thread

[Panamamike]

Staley has a plan.

On second thought, Palmer and McKitty will be just fine.

We will find good fits today with five picks,
and with UDFAs, and on Monday with vet UFAs.

Listening to his presser it absolutely seems that he has a plan for the skill sets he wants for various formations. It absolutely to me was clear that he Lombardi and the coaches were heavily involved in those picks.

Too many players I like to do clustas. lol.
Wait n see.

I see Safety and IOL as glaring positions in need of depth and upgrade.

[Bolt Dude]

Daelin Hayes might be the BGDA.

Best Golden Domer Available.

Agreed.
I think we will address both today but if we don’t both positions have Vet FA sitting at home right now.

One thing I have in my head from a previous Staley interview is something like ....
- We want to dictate to a defense by personnel groupings, formation, and motion.
This, to me, is the reasoning behind round 3 as well as looking a year ahead.
Anyone else remember this?

[wu-dai clan]

Good points all.
Did not know BGDA was a category.

Here was my late day 3/UFDA list.
Bolded = Drafted


#12021 Late Round / UDFA Prospect List

04-26-2021, 09:01 AM
These prospects have draftable grades from me. If not drafted, I’d love to see as many of these dudes brought in as UDFAs.

CB - Avery Williams, Brandon Stephens, Brandin Echols, Nate Hobbs, Jason Pinnock

DS/DB - Tyler Coyle, Shawn Davis, Brady Breeze, Mark Webb

OBLB - Buddy Johnson, Anthony Hines, Nick Nieman, Milo Eifler, Ernest Jones

EDGE - Charles Snowden, Earnest Brown IV, Jamar Watson, Zeandae Johnson

DL - Marquiss Spencer, Eli Howard, Jared Goldwire, Lorenzo Neal

WR/TE - Mike Strachan, Jalen Camp, Jonathan Adams, Austin Watkins, Dai’Jean Dixon, Trevon Grimes, Luke Ferrell, Quintin Morris

OLINE - Dan Moore Jr, Landon Young, Josh Ball, Grant Hermanns, Sam Cooper, Brenden Jaimes, Braylon Jones, Royce Newman

RB - Gerrid Doaks, Spencer Brown, Chris Evans, Jared Patterson, Ben Mason, Caleb Huntley, Brendon Knox, Jake Funk, Kene Nwangwu, Gary Brightwell, Larry Roundtree III, Asim Rose, Mekhi Sargent

Many higher graded prospects but as we get into rounds 5-7 should see some o these dudes go.

Me either. New separation breakout for my board.

Here's another list of best avails:

2021 NFL Draft: Best available players for Day 3, including Brevin Jordan, Michael Carter and Cornell Powell

Here are the best players that will be available at the start of Day 3 of the 2021 NFL Draft

The first three rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft have concluded, but there are still some quality players to be taken Saturday on Day 3 from Cleveland. Below are CBSSports.com's highest-ranked players still available -- including their overall prospect ranking -- as the draft wraps up with rounds 4-7:

Best 25 remaining

No. 45: Daviyon Nixon, DT, Iowa
Nixon flashes interior pass-rush production but needs to show it more consistently.

No. 62: Hamsah Nasirildeen, S, Florida State
Nasirildeen is a big, long safety that is capable of playing weakside linebacker and making plays in the box.

No. 69: Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma State
Wallace is a strong wide receiver with tremendous play strength.

No. 71: Trey Smith, OG, TennesseeNo. 73: Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana
Johnson is a rangy safety that could provide some spot starting help.

No. 74: Ar'Darius Washington, S, TCU
Washington is a productive and instinctive safety that lacks ideal size.

No. 75: Michael Carter, RB, North CarolinaNo. 76: Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami
Jordan is a move tight end that can offer another level to the passing offense.

I really like Michael Carter.....luxury pick in the 4rth that i wouldn't mind. I actually prefer him to rondale more....although they are at different positions.

[Bolt4Knob]

I think round 4 has to be IOL -- they do not have any real depth at OG.

Popper in his late round chat is killing Telesco for not drafting OL in Round 3 - and I am here for it.
He didn't dislike the McKitty pick - as they needed a blocking TE. But WR has a bit more depth especially when you consider Reed and Hill from last year

Oh well - lets see what Tom Telesco can do today. 3 picks in the first 80 picks today---I am hoping for
OL
Edge
DB
DL
more OL or DB help

thats it

I am with you on the positions: OL, DL, DB and Edge
four of the five picks today

[powderblueboy]

This is good to know as they have 5 picks and I hope all five are the positions above in some way shape or form as I think he reached in Round 3 but his track record in Round 3 sucks so whats new with Tommy Telesco., Rounds 1 and 2 were easy - Slater fell to him and he filled a need. Samuel also was a need.

I think Tommy overthought himself yesterday in Round 3. Too much potential - I think one of those two picks needed to be "lower ceiling, higher floor, less bust" potential.

I'm fine with Josh Palmer, he would have been grabbed later in day 2.

Chargers need youth there, and he has no injury history of significance.

Every recent draft the wide receiver pool seemed to be deep, and i wanted them to take advantage of that. Every year they opt for someone else. Steelers get their wide receivers in the late 2nd/3rd rounds.
