@#1 pick’s Big Board:

Grades:

1st round – Franchise Player potential

Late 1st round – High-End Starter potential



  1. Trevor Lawrence – Top 10 Grade – Comparison – Rich man’s Justin Herbert
  2. Trey Lance – 1st round Grade – Comp – Rich man’s Ryan Tannehill
  3. Zach Wilson – 1st round Grade – Comp – Baker Mayfield as a prospect with elite arm talent and a much better athlete but less composure and durability
  4. Justin Fields – 1st round Grade – Comp – Right now’s Dak Prescott lite but an elite athlete
  5. Rashawn Slater – 1st round Grade – Comp – Quinton Nelson
  6. JaMarr Chase – 1st round Grade – Comp – Smaller Anquan Bolden with freak athletic ability
  7. DeVonta Smith – 1st round Grade – Comp – Prime Henry Ellard
  8. Jaylen Waddle – 1st round Grade – Comp – Devin Hester meets Wes Welker
  9. Kyle Pitts – 1st round Grade Comp – Darren Waller lite with less game speed but more natural God-given talent
  10. Penei Sewell – 1st round Grade – rich man’s Andrew Thomas
  11. Alijah Vera-Tucker – 1st round Grade – Comp - Zach Martin with less polish, more athletic.
  12. Micah Parsons – 1st round Grade – Comp – Aldon Smith, the good and the bad
  13. Patrick Surtain Jr. – 1st round Grade – Comp - Nnamdi Asomugha
  14. Celeb Farley – 1st round Grade – Comp – Jimmy Smith
  15. Trevon Moehrig – 1st round Grade – Comp – Rashad Jones
  16. LB JEREMIAH OWUSU-KORAMOAH – 1st round Grade – Comp – Darius Leonard
  17. QB Mac Jones, ALABAMA – Late 1st round Grade
  18. CB JAYCEE HORN, SOUTH CAROLINA – Late 1st round Grade
  19. OT CHRISTIAN DARRISAW, VIRGINIA TECH – Late 1st round Grade
  20. DI CHRISTIAN BARMORE, ALABAMA – Late 1st round Grade

  22. EDGE JAYSON OWEH, PENN STATE – Late 1st round Grade
  23. EDGE KWITY PAYE, MICHIGAN – Late 1st round Grade
  24. EDGE GREGORY ROUSSEAU, MIAMI (FL.) – Late 1st round Grade
  25. EDGE AZEEZ OJULARI, GEORGIA – Late 1st round Grade
  26. RB TRAVIS ETIENNE, CLEMSON – Late 1st round Grade
  27. RB JAVONTE WILLIAMS, NORTH CAROLINA -– Late 1st round Grade
  28. RB NAJEE HARRIS, ALABAMA – Late 1st round Grade
  29. LB NICK BOLTON, MISSOURI – Late 1st round Grade
  30. OT TEVEN JENKINS, OKLAHOMA STATE – Late 1st round Grade
  31. CB ASANTE SAMUEL JR., FLORIDA ST. – Late 1st round Grade
  32. LB ZAVEN COLLINS, TULSA – Late 1st round Grade
  33. WR KADARIUS TONEY, FLORIDA – Late 1st round Grade
  34. OT DILLON RADUNZ, NDSU – Late 1st round Grade
  35. OT SAMUEL COSMI, TEXAS – Late 1st round Grade
  36. OT ALEX LEATHERWOOD, ALABAMA – Late 1st round Grade
  37. IOL LANDON dikkERSON, ALABAMA – Late 1st round Grade








NFL Ready Draft Board:

  1. Justin Fields – Elite Mobile QB
  2. Trevor Lawrence – Extremely versatile polished QB
  3. Rashawn Slater - Extremely versatile polished OL, can play everywhere and dominate.
  4. Devonta Smith – Technically sound, freakish talent, scheme versatile.
  5. Jaylen Waddle – Slot nightmare no matter the team.
  6. Alijah Vera-Tucker – Probably the best guard in the draft since Nelson.
  7. JaMarr Chase – Sitting out hurts him here but he is as NFL-ready as they come.
  8. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah – He is ready to impact the NFL at a high level right now.
  9. Trevon Moehrig – Already a top 10 safety in the NFL.
  10. Travis Etienne – Already a top 10-15 RB.
  11. Najee Harris – Already a top 10-15 RB.
  12. Micah Parsons – His mental matters so much like it did with Smith but he is already an excellent player.
  13. Penei Sewell – He is physically and athletically ready, but his technique and balance could hurt him a bit as a rookie.
  14. Kyle Pitts – TE is such a difficult position for a rookie to adjust to due to the prep for it compared to college. He is as ready as any TE to enter in years.
  15. Jaelan Phillips – He is the most polished DE in this year’s draft and is already a solid DE for the 4-3 scheme.

Positional Value matters to me: Why positional value matters in the NFL Draft | NFL Draft | PFF

Also, I value the QB position on a rookie deal 3x more than any other position off the top so if you reach for a 3rd round QB like Daniel Jones. I really don't harshly judge you but if you reach for a 2nd round grade DE in the top 5 like Oakland did with Clelin Ferrell. I judge you extremely harshly.

The GOATtriots might really get a steal in this first round is all of these QB's go early.

For those of you that watch a lot of college football and love the draft, would you say this is one of the better drafts in terms of quality depth for QB's and WR's in recent memory?

I'd say its top-heavy, but this draft is going to be really hard to call because of covid and guys been saying this for a while.

No combine is brutal, its hard to trust any of these pro day numbers coming out. Really hard to gauge with so many players that opted out

Assuming Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance, and Jones all go in the top ten, that would leave the Patriots with quite a few possible options.

I'd assume Penei Sewell and Kyle Pitts would go within the top ten, so that's seven players right there that will likely be gone. I wonder if one of the top WR's would drop to the Patriots, and if they would take one? Or, if they will go defense instead?

QBs could easily go 1-4 so that could make a lot of talent drop. Most people say that NE is missing a good Qb tho :mjgrin:

I would not be the least bit surprised QB picked outside of round 1 have better careers than QBs picked in the 1st
