2021 Pro Day Predictions and Discussion

I would favor leaving this thread as is...maybe move it after the draft...

Pretty much what i want to do. But if the thread isnt being used now that PD's are over with...we will need to keep bumping it. I dont mind doing that. Just thought it would be easier to stick it in the draft forum. We still have members that dont venture out of the main forum. lol We have a lot of stuck threads in the main forum so i like to keep it 5 and under.

Think most of us are pretty high on Elerson.

Don't see many mocks with him very high.
Why is that? I'm with you guys- he looks solid. And if he can produce like Crosby, he'd be a steal anywhere after 3.

It’s because he played for a D2 team, and when he played there he was 32lbs lighter. Then, after missing his season (covid), he showed up at the Senior Bowl at 262 lbs and wrecked shit. He destroyed the combine, too. So basically evaluators are torn between college game tape against lesser opponents and what they think he could be now.

I think his transformation shows that the kid REALLY wants it. And his Senior Bowl week confirmed it. Still, it’s not a lot to go on and many scouts prefer guys with more experience against Power Five teams/players.

I liked Crosby in his draft. I mocked him round 5 for us and think he went in round 4. Hopefully if we havent got a Edge rusher yet, he will be there in round 4 but i think he may be someone that will need time to adapt to the NFL speed coming from Div 2. Situational rusher at first but you never know who will get it faster.

Buckeyes add 2nd pro day … Ohio State has reportedly opted to hold a second pro day prior to the 2021 draft on April 14th, in part to provide another opportunity for NFL teams to watch Fields work out in person. Recall that the Buckeyes first pro day was held the same day as that of Alabama last month. In particular, a second Ohio State pro day would give San Francisco G.M. John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan, who both attended the Alabama workout to watch Tide QB Mac Jones, a chance to check out Fields in person. Of course, the 49ers did have senior people at the original Ohio State workout, they just weren’t named Lynch or Shanahan. The 49ers have the third pick overall at this month’s draft after trading up to that spot with Miami and for now are believed to be targeting Jones for that pick.

UAB Pro Day..... Jordon Smith bulked up

JORDAN SMITH

Height: 6-05.7

Weight: 264

Bench: 16

Vertical: 33

Broad Jump: 9′9′'

40-Yard Dash: 4.80

Note: Smith came into Pro Day the biggest and strongest he has ever been. He showed a wide array of speed, strength and skill today, only helping his draft status and leaving all 32 scouts very impressed.

AUSTIN WATKINS JR.

Height: 6-01.4

Weight: 209

Bench: 18

Vertical: 31.5

Broad Jump: 9′8′'

40-Yard Dash: 4.52

Note: Watkins Jr. was equally impressive in front of the scouts, specifically during wide receiver drills. He caught every pass that came his way, which was approximately 30 routes. His last catch was a spectacular over-the-shoulder grab roughly 60 yards down field.

SPENCER BROWN

Height: 5-10.3

Weight: 208

Bench: 16

Vertical: 36.5

Broad Jump: 10′1′'

40-Yard Dash: 4.58

Note: Having arguable the most impressive day of anyone, Brown tested off the charts. He weighed in at 208 and his power and speed was on display all day. He had the biggest vertical jump, and the scouts worked him out for an hour following his testing with running, catching and blocking drills. Brown did everything he needed to do for a chance to add a third name from UAB being called on draft weekend.

MYRON MITCHELL

Height: 5-11.7

Weight: 189

Bench: 7

Vertical: 34

Broad Jump: 10′4′'

40-Yard Dash: N/A

Note: Mitchell was having a strong day until he pulled a muscle while running the 40-yard dash. He was unable to participate following that.

BRONTAE HARRIS

Height: 5-09.0

Weight: 184

Bench: 3

Vertical: 30.5

Broad Jump: 8′9′'

40-Yard Dash: 4.83

Note: Harris’ top metric came on the vertical jump, while he was also efficient in the three cone drill and the 5-10-5 shuffle.

JACOB FUQUA

Height: 6-02.3

Weight: 236

Bench: N/A

Vertical: 28

Broad Jump: 8′9′'

40-Yard Dash: N/A

Note: Fuqua also had an impressive day. He did not participate in the bench press or 40-yard dash, but his short and long snapping drills impressed the scouts as he looked sharp and snapped very well. Fuqua was a Fourth Team All-American in 2020 and graduated as the most decorated long snapper in program history.

Payton Turner looks like a high ceiling prospect. Nice 35 3/8” arms and great shuttle and 3 cone times.
