2021 NFL Draft

[Rebel-Fan-74]

I've been looking at the "experts" Mock Drafts and these players are listed on at least 10 of the 16 Mock Drafts that I've looked at. I'd say that these young men have a great chance on being quite financially secure in the next few days. Do any of you guys watch and follow the draft?

Note: All 16 drafts have Trevor Lawrence at #1 and Zach Wilson at #2, it's at #3 where the differences begin. Many have Mac Jones going to San Francisco; but one expert has him falling all the way to #19.

Then Kyle Pitts seems to be Atlanta's pick if they stay at #4 but there is a lot of speculation that Atlanta is currently holding an auction for that #4 spot and entertaining offers right up to the point they are officially "on the clock" and maybe even well into their time. One guy said they may take their pick to the table during the final seconds holding out for that trade offer to knock them our of their chair.

Depending on picks 3 & 4, the draft could take some twists and turns with many teams interested in trading up or down depending on the offer and needing a QB. There are at least five quarterbacks who will go in the first round and I'm thinking the number could go to six easily, with Davis Mills of Stanford a real likely candidate to go to the Pittsburgh Steelers or another team near the end of the first round, or possibly a team that missed out on their guy early in the draft, even if they have to trade into the bottom third of the first round instead of waiting until the second round.
