The first 20 players selected seem very credible as likely top 20 picks IMHO. Also, many seem to be good matches for the teams which drafted them. One exception might be Detroit drafting Fields instead of, say Waddle or Parsons.
IF the draft went as CBS projects and IF the Parsons is truly off the Giants draft board, I'd be fine with a trade down with New England at 15 or Chicago at 20. I think the trade down is likely only possible if one of the 5 QBs is available at #11.
My guess would be if it played out as listed below in the top 10, the Giants would take D Smith instead of Parsons, but I'd be OK with Parsons if Judge & Co have researched him and can live with any "character issues" (real or not).
1 Jax Trevor Lawrence QB
2 NYJ Zach Wilson QB
3 SF Mac Jones QB
4 Atl Kyle Pitts TE
5 Cin Penei Sewell OL
6 Mia Ja'Marr Chase WR
7 Det Justin Fields QB
8 Car Jaylen Waddle WR
9 Den Trey Lance QB
10 Dal Patrick Surtain II CB
11 NYG Micah Parsons LB
12 Phi Rashawn Slater OL
13 LAC Alijah Vera-Tucker OL
14 Min Christian Darrisaw OL
15 NE Devonta Smith WR
16 AZ Jaycee Horn CB
17 LV Azeez Ojulari LB
18 Mia Teven Jenkins OL
19 WFT Zaven Collins LB
20 Chi Samuel Cosmi OL

CBS Sports NFL Mock Draft As Of 4-15-2021 - (
New Window )
If D Smith is gone, but Parsons, Slater, Vera-Tucker, Darrisaw, Ojulari and Collins are still there, do you trade down with Chicago all the way to #20 (say for an add'l 2021 2nd and 3rd) and risk missing out on 6 listed above? I'd probably say yes.
Look at all, but select the BPA. GoDeep13 said they are spending the most time exploring the ERs, which absolutely makes sense. It also does not necessarily mean 1st round.
They could still be right.
Carter is coming back from a torn achilles, and Im just going to give you the benefit of the doubt and pretend you didnt just post Ximenes' name. He is fucking DREADFUL.
I can understand having hope for Ryan Anderson and Idgihibobobo (forget his name and dont feel like looking it up) picking up some slack, but you are kidding yourself relying on just those 4 guys to create outside rush.
Good pick up. Agree QB is not in the cards and WR or CB likely.
