2021 Mock Drafts Thread

Latest simulation I've done.

 

This draft involved trading 1/2/3 picks for 12th pick round one. Instead of QB I picked LB that with Bush would be incredible. Super fast and if you look at all the other picks I still got great people to fill most holes in offense and defense.

 

I really like Rb M. Carter. Dont think he last past the 3rd.

 

What if he makes it that far, and we don't draft him?

 

Both of the running backs from UNC are going to be decent players IMO. While Harris is impressive, it may be hard to pass on some talent at other positions when you still have some talented RBs later in the draft

 

Micah Parsons goes in the top 10

 

if you take him in the first, that is having no brains. the kid is unproven...period. 1 season at the FCS level against very poor competion. why would you pay first round money for that?

 

All season long, seeing Gibson go off, I was thinking of you.
Good call, I wish the Steelers could of grabbed him. Maybe that was our plan all along, but got foiled when Washington took him so early, thus we ended up with McFarland.
Keep seeing Gainwell being compared to Gibson.

 

Love Williams,I don't think he will last till middle of 2nd round...

 

You just never know with RBs. They tend to be weird to predict. For the last few years its only been a guy here and there taken in the first round. It is really hard to predict where they will go, and I don't think as many teams as normal need one this year.

 

I agree, but if its Defense. I really won't complain.

 

No way Amari Rogers makes it to the 6th

 

One of two reactions then;


1.) Either the team has an Offensive Tackle rated higher than J.O.K (and one I likely will not agree with)


or


2.) Somehow, someway, J.O.K. does not fit into the Steelers Defensive Philosophy (something I will find VERY DIFFICULT to believe)

 

Strongly disagree here.



Trey Lance is the best Big Ben succession plan not named Trevor Lawrence in the class for the Steelers. For that matter, Big Ben hailed from Miami of Ohio; not a Power Five School if I recall. Besides and again, Matt Canada's Offense with Trey Lance's abilities would be the most seamless transition for any QB in the class not named Lawrence. Trey Lance simply has the physical and athletic profile that any NFL Office would want to acquire. Had the FCS actually went on with a full season, Trey Lance is likely the second best overall prospect in the class.



A First Round Pick for a Franchise QB is something I would do 100 times out of 100; doubly so if he is within striking distance for Pittsburgh.

 

I am not sure. Vince Williams is likely a cap casualty. Besides, if JOK really is there at pick 24, I do not foresee a scenario in which the Steelers do not pick him to pair with Devin Bush unless their guy at Offensive Tackle is. If not him, Dylan Moses, Jabril Cox or Barron Browning are the next best options.

 

i guess we will agree to disagree. do agree that if you have a chance at a franchise QB you do it, i just dont see this kid as being that. im from the area, and have seen this kid play a number of times, what stuck out is how much he didnt. with out the players around him, i think he was just average. did he have a great year statistics wise? absolutely; was it against quality compition? no...no it wasnt. wentz was (as much as i disliked the school he went to) a really solid player coming out of college. and that was because he was battle tested against much better compition in the FCS in those years. i know lance cant control that, but i think if stuck around for at least 1-2 more years, his devolpment would have a much greater scale to judge him on. time will tell, but i dont get overly facsinated with one player, or another. remember, most of these "experts" felt that manzel was the next G.O.A.T.

 

Manizel was swooned upon because of the season he had. If analysts were actually paying attention, they would realize that Manziel had far more problems on the field than off of it. Either way, you are correct.



Agree to disagree!

 

Johnny Manziel was the 22nd pick in the draft, and if it wasn't for Cleveland, would not have gone in the first round. No one felt Manziel was the next GOAT.

 

I know I didn't. It was all Mike Evan's and the team they had. Johnny M. would run around , sling the ball in2 triple coverage, and Evan's would go up and get it. LoL. People would say, Wow ,you see that throw. LoL. I'd just shake my head thinking, how do you watch this much football , and think that's a great throw. Reminded me when Andy Dalton would sling one in triple coverage 2 AJ Green . Green would go up and take it away from the triple coverage. People would say , wow, what a throw.

 

of course in those years Cleveland had like 30 picks in the first round. so why not? they drafted a qb every year didn't they?

 

I would not bet against that, but some are predicting 5 QB's go in the top 10, which would mean some very good good players will drop. Myself I do not see that, but once a feeding frenzy starts some teams will invariably feel like they have to get their QB now, so you never know. As much as I like Parsons, no way would I trade our 2nd and 3rd to move up, with the depth this year if you pick right you could make a great start at solidifying the OL with 2 picks out of your first 4.
