NFL.com: Three-round 2021 NFL mock draft 1.0

But I am pretty confident none of the players will be there at those picks

Getting those three on the first two days would be a grand slam. I don’t think Humphrey will last that long. Maybe not Barmore either.

quick, deceptive, but sooner or later broken

But that is a minor quibble.

will be available to the Giants at those picks in the first 3 rounds.It's very possible Barmore will be selected at the bottom of the first round.

Ha - I thought the exact same thing. Not one of those players will be there at those slots.

I agree, he is super thin. I wonder if that’s why a few mocks have him falling a bit.

By version 2.0, they’ll realize how bad 1.0 was and slot Smith somewhere around the neighborhood of Miami, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia.

Seems to have passed Waddle on the list and sometimes Smith. Looking forward to the draft.

talk from folks (myself included) that have ZERO idea what teams actually think. We go by draft pundits and others who just talk draft (with barely any more knowledge than we have) and determine who will be picked where by those reports.

This past college season and now up coming draft is the most messed up and least scouted season in a very very long time. I would expect teams to be all over the board on different players.

agreed Smith is too thin - right now. But that can be fixed with some time in an NFL quality weight room and he is only 22 so putting on some more muscle shouldn't be too hard to do.

...

In the 2nd round would be a Grand Slam. I think that kid will go a lot higher than where he’s projected to go.

Daniel Jeremiah put him in his top 3 of his big board he put out in late January, and he has good info from teams and influence over other mockers.

I get that, and I am usually in the camp of avoiding smaller WR's due to how they will age when their quickness slows, but Smith is such a good route runner, I don't think a slight downturn in his quickness will affect him too much.

For me, it's Surtain than Smith. Smith would be an awesome addition - great player, smart, and works his ass off.

is very thin. He weighs less than 180. He plays for Alabama, not Alabama state.. so his weight gain isn't a given. I wouldn't be shocked if he is there for us. I can't remember a player that light being taken in the top ten. So him sliding is a believable scenario.

but what did Jerry Rice look like coming out college?

Charles Snowden didn't even make the top 3 rounds? Could be a late round steal.

I enjoy your knowledge and opinions highly Rick, but I whole heartedly disagree.

I have been consuming a ton of draft opinions and tried to sort out risers and fallers, and IMO Reuter's 3 round mock for all the clubs is the most realistic one O have seen yet.

He has integrated a lot of the scuttlebutt from the Senior bowl into his order of selection, and some of his choices (ex: Ellmore Smith, ER in the 2nd or 3rd round!!!) look crazy now but as the fallers fall and the risers rise, he may just turn out to be right more often than not.

I think the Giants top 3 picks have at least a 50/50 chance of being available at their slots, and I agree Pitts and Chase will be the first two receivers off the board, in whatever order but both top 10, easily.

Still plentnof time for boards to realign.

I agree, but he’s built very much like Deshean Jackson and he’s had a very successful career.

Rice was 6'2, 200 lbs out of college, nothing small about him.

is the best case scenario for a player with Devonta's skillset and build.

True, but I don't see Davonte as being like Jackson at all. Jax is a home run hitter, and probably has better long speed than Davonte. I think Davonte is more like another Smith - Steve from Carolina. Steve Smith was 5'9 185 coming out of Utah, with decent but not great speed (4.45) and had an excellent career because he was such a good route runner.

Davonte is faster and quicker than Smith, and is a terrific route runner. He also does a great job avoiding direct hits.

I used CAR's Steve Smith, but Harrison is a good comp too.

how would people feel about taking Rondale Moore in the second round to go with Devanta Smith? I know there are other needs, but 2 speedy receivers like that would be fun.

If anything that would mean Williams would be gone. But I doubt he lasts to 42.

Would agree and expect at least the first two to go earlier.

Was a lock top 5 pick at this time of his draft year. We drafted him in the 3rd.
