2021 NFL MOCK DRAFT - 12/11/20

 After the 2020 draft came to an end I am sure many of you were thinking that was weird . We didn't have as much information as we usually do, and the draft was even more of a crapshoot than  usual . 2021 is likely to be a lot worse . So many top players heading into the year opted out , and now we didn't get to see them progress or regress as usual . My top OT, WR , Off The Ball LB , EDGE rusher , interior O-Lineman , CB , Safety , and about 10 other guys I expected to be top 50 picks just either opted out entirely , or played a game or 2 then quit . I debated skipping this whole draft season, because so many players I was looking forward to watching aren't playing . In the end , I love football too much not to watch, it would drive me crazy if I had to take other people's evaluations blindly ( even if I love & respect their opinions) , I'm bored & out of work like many of you in the Covid trials , and maybe I'm a glutton for punishment too .  To me this draft is going to be a choice between athletic potential and lower upside guys who actually played & played well. Kind of like the NBA draft where you see a lot of one and done guys who haven't put much on tape ,but still still have such a high upside that they go in the lottery . On The bright side if some of these guys have spent the whole season training at a pre-combine performance center the combine should see some truly impressive specimens showing out in Indy .  Right now I see a draft potentially deep at QB , OT  , interior O-LINE , WR , CB ,  and  possibly even off the ball LB if the players I expect enter the draft .  A lot of these guys will get hurt, disappoint on or off the field, and some probably won't even enter the draft  The picks are all mine ,but keep in mind that I have done very limited tape study on these prospects so far , and that there is still a long way to go . Don't forget that there are 2 new playoff teams this season . One in each conference, and that means the 14 teams with the lowest draft slots made the playoffs. The draft order is mine too, and based on how I think the season will end . Without further ado , here it is. Feel free to leave a comment. Agreeing or disagreeing is welcome, but please do it intelligently and respectfully. If you can't, or resort to personal attacks, I just won't post it. So here it is. Enjoy.

2020 NFL TEAM RECORD PREDICTIONS

This season has been a crapfest since Covid - 19 hit . There has been nothing to watch ,and some players , especially in college , but even some in the NFL are opting out . Without a vaccine I expect players to be dropping like flies relatively quickly once they start playing other teams, especially with so many of today's players being whiny entitled snowflakes who will miss a game or practice when they get a boo-boo . When you add a real thing like Covid to the already violent injury prone sport of football this is the biggest crap shoot ever . I usually would have spent the last 6 weeks watching training camp film where I can find it , and breaking down every pre-season game to get a feel for how this season is going to go . None of that is possible this time around . So instead of basing this off playing time , film , personnel groupings , and formations I will instead just go with my gut . I will make this short and sweet . Good luck to you all with your season . Stay safe .


AFC WEST

1.CHIEFS - 13 - 3  -DIVISION CHAMP , REPEATING SUPERBOWL CHAMPS

SUMMARY :  A Superbowl contender, with the best QB in the game , a offensive genius at head coach , and in a potentially mediocre division .  It's hard to win a lot of games 34 -31 all year , but they won a lot of games by just simply outscoring teams last season so it can be done .  I actually expect them to be a little better on defense this year . They are the favorite to win it all again in my opinion . 

2.RAIDERS - 9 - 7

SUMMARY : They doomed themselves when they took a ride on the clown train with AB last year, but they made some progress anyway. They will have a lot more of weapons at WR after the draft, and they are in their new city . It's a shame that Covid 19 will spoil their opening of the new stadium, but I think they can compete for a wildcard this year .

3.BRONCOS - 8 -8

SUMMARY : Their potential QB of the future in Drew Lock finished strong and he now has pass catchers coming out the wazoo. Melvin Gordon & Phillip Lindsay are a great 1-2 punch behind an upgraded O-line , losing Von Miller and a suspect secondary makes me think they are a 500 team . 

4.CHARGERS - 7 - 9

SUMMARY : Replacing a franchise Icon in Rivers takes time , and I think Justin Herbert could be in for a steep learning curve this season . So Chargers fans will need to be patient while he learns the Pro Game because the guy doesn't even know how to take snaps under center properly right now . I see it as a rebuilding year , but really hope they draft a Left Tackle with their first rounder next season  , although the rest of their O-line could be already improved this season . 



AFC EAST


1.BILLS - 12 -4 - DIVISION CHAMP

SUMMARY : Their coach and a mix of talented young players & vets on both sides of the ball mak them a potential contender. Add in another great draft, and it makes me think they have an outside shot at the Superbowl . Weak division . A lot of potential upgrades for their pass catchers , especially Diggs. They are the favorite to run right through the AFC EAST and might even get a bye week in the bargain , but I am still not sold on Josh Allen  . 

3.PATRIOTS - 8 - 8  

SUMMARY : As long as Brady & Belichick WERE there they were always a threat to take home the Lombardi , but that's over . Cam Newton could be the come back player of the year if he can stay healthy, but I expect that Belichick runs him into the ground before week 12. A Rebuilding year , and since it's during a pandemic without fans in the stands to boo , this is the perfect time for it . 

2.DOLPHINS - 6 -10

SUMMARY : A lot of talent added in the draft , but they reached on too many guys for me so it could have been a lot better. It's a weak division and maybe some FITZ-MAGIC happens  , but unless a healthy Tua is at the helm , and their O-Line miraculously jells I wouldn't expect the playoffs this year  .

4.JETS - 6 - 10

SUMMARY : While I expect them to be better on offense if Darnold's healthy ,and since they upgraded their O-Line significantly this year he might actually stay on the field , they also traded away their team leader & best defensive player in Jamal Adams . So a top 10 pick is my best guess . 



AFC SOUTH

1.COLTS - 10 - 6 DIVISION CHAMP
SUMMARY  :Great O-line  , upgraded weapons at the skill  positions , a promising defense, and even a past his prime Rivers can be a pretty good upgrade at QB. They have had back to back great drafts , and I expect this division to have 2 playoff teams , but I give the colts the edge because they have Rivers over Tannehil.

2.TITANS - 10 - 6 WILD  CARD
SUMMARY  :A lot of talent overall , a thick thumper with straight line speed in Derek Henry , and a hard nosed coach & play style . I think that they will be the wildcard because I don't trust Tannehill's health or consistency .

3.TEXANS - 8 - 8 

SUMMARY :  With no GM to stop him O'Brien over payed for Tunsil & Stills , didn't get enough for the inconsistent but ultra talented Clowney , and then got ripped off when he dumped Hopkins . I expect Watson will keep them in wildcard contention as long as he can , but that they will fall short  , and then O'Brien will get fired for his incompetent front office work .

4.JAGUARS - 3 -13  and the winner of the #1 overall draft pick

SUMMARY : Lose for Lawrence, but they have a lot of young talented players that he can work with after this season is finally over . Throw Dabo Swinney in as the new head coach and I think they will be on the way up in 2021 . 



AFC NORTH

1.RAVENS - 12 - 4  DIVISION CHAMP AND MAKING IT TO THE AFC TITLE GAME 

SUMMARY : This team could win it all , but I just don't trust their secondary. Future HOFer Marshal Yanda will be missed badly as well , and its important that the offense stay dominant . If they run Jackson a lot again will he stay healthy ?

2.BROWNS - 8 -8

SUMMARY : . Based on talent they are a legitimate threat to win the division , but with another new coach & scheme,  Mayfield & Beckham both taking steps back last year, Myles Garrett losing his mind , and some big questions at LB , I'm going top say nope again.

3.STEELERS - 8 - 8

SUMMARY : Good offensive & defensive Lines , great coach, and good skill position talent . Proven Superbowl winning veteran QB .Seems like a recipe for success , but I will believe big Ben can stay healthy when I see it . They may be drafting a QB in the first round next year if he gets hurt again  

4.BENGALS - 6 - 10

SUMMARY : A great draft , and I think Burrow is a definite long term franchise QB , but it's a young team . I think we will see progress , but will it be enough for the head coach to keep his job ? Joe Brady could be showing up in Zac Taylor's rear view mirror if they don't show enough to make Mike Brown happy .

NFC WEST

1.49ers - 11 - 5 - DIVISION CHAMP

SUMMARY : A Superbowl contender again, still a great D-Line , and a lot of weapons on offense . However I don't like their secondary , they didn't upgrade their weak interior O-Line , and I'm still not sold on Garroppolo .

2.SEATTLE - 10 - 6 WILD  CARD\
SUMMARY :  Carrol's reputation as a charismatic teacher & leader and a lot of athletic ability give them a decent shot at the wildcard . However , when you have one of the ELITE QB's in the game , and you usually only let him pass once you fall behind I don't see them going far even if they make the Playoffs again .

4.CARDINALS - 8 - 8

SUMMARY : They added D-Hop to a already talented WR core, and even upgraded their O-line & D-Line some, but that defense looks like a stars and scrubs fantasy roster to me, and that doesn't work on a real football field very often . 

3.RAMS - 7 - 9
 
SUMMARY : Their championship window is past in my opinion . They overpaid too many veteran players that didn't pan out, and I am still not sold on Jared Goff either . They built the most expensive stadium in history but I don't know how long they can pay the bills without fans in the stands . I guess that's another reason why NFL owners are billionaire's . They can afford a pandemic . 

NFC EAST

1.COWBOYS - 12 - 4 DIVISION CHAMP and MAKING IT TO THE SUPERBOWL

SUMMARY This team is in a SUPERBOWL window now, and with a new defense & upgraded head coach I think they are the favorite to win the NFC , and that DAK can win the MVP if their weakened  O-Line can protect him , and their new secondary can hold up . They have the talent to outscore eveyone even if the defense doesn't pan out .

2.EAGLES - 10 - 6 WILD CARD

SUMMARY : I think they are a contender again because of their offensive & defensive lines , and upgraded receiving core, but only if Wentz can stay healthy throughout the playoffs. 

3.GIANTS - 7- 9


SUMMARY : This team could surprise if Barkley is healthy, I actually like their new coach too . and they improved the O-Line again. Their front 3 on D could be dominant too, but I have questions abut the est of the defense . 

4.REDSKINS - 5-11

SUMMARY  : A solid draft .I believe Haskins will take a big step forward this season . Ryan Kerrigan , Montez Sweat & Chase Young are a fearsome trio off the edge as well. Actually their whole defensive front looks good , but the rest of the defense , and pretty much their entire offense after McLaurin,  Scherff , and Moses are question marks . 

NFC SOUTH


1.BUCCANEERS - 11 - 5 DIVISION CHAMP

SUMMARY : Brady with weapons and a healthy O-line could be special no matter how old he is . They are a contender if the defense holds up , but it's now hard for me to see Bruce Arians as a Super Bowl wining head coach . 

2.SAINTS - 10 - 6

SUMMARY : They are a deep team that loos like a team that is ALL-IN again to win this years Super Bowl ... AGAIN , but I think that Brees lost his mojo when he bent over for the kneelers . So nope .  

3.FALCONS - 6 - 10

SUMMARY : Proven veteran MVP winning QB and a lot of talent  . Improved talent on the O-line , and they upgraded the size of their defense , but that secondary is a opposing offensive coordinators wet dream on paper . 

4.PANTHERS - 4 - 12


SUMMARY : It's a rebuilding year ,and they may break the NFL record for most points given up on defense in a season, but I believe that Matt Rhule will be a great NFL head coach in the long run . I'm gonna bet the Over in most of their games this year . 


NFC NORTH




1.VIKINGS - 10-6 - DIVISION CHAMP

SUMMARY : Usually when a team has this much turnover I expect a rebuilding year, but I loved their draft so I'm going to call it a re-loading year , and I expect they will contend for the division title . 

2.PACKERS - 9-7

SUMMARY : It looked like they had a chance to win it last year late in the season , but then their run defense went in the tank , and their receiving weapons were ineffective except for Davante Adams. So what did they do . Didn't draft a WR in the deepest WR class I can remember , and then further pissed off their franchise QB by using their first rounder on a QB . So much for going for it when you are in a championship window . The most bitch out off season I can remember in Packers history . 

3.BEARS - 7 - 9 

SUMMARY : Trubisky or bust I guess .... AGAIN ?. If he can throw people open into tight windows they could go all the way , but I haven't seen him do it consistently yet  . At least Nick Foles is the best back up in the game.This defense really dropped off without Akiem Hicks last year , and he is already hurt again. 

4.LIONS - 5 - 11

.
SUMMARY : They look like  a team that's gonna have a top 5 pick next year , and if they do they should fire Patricia and bring in someone with more skins on the wall .

2020 NFL MOCK DRAFT - 5/11/20

With the 2020 draft coming to an end I am sure many of you are already wondering who the top prospects for 2021 might be. Trying to predict not only the top prospects, but also the draft order is a big stretch right now, but I am willing if you are . Right now I see a draft potentially deep at OT, RB, WR , CB ,TE,  and  possibly even QB if the players I expect enter the draft & thrive .  A lot of these guys will get hurt, disappoint on or off the field, and some probably won't even enter the draft.  . It's basically a crap shoot at this time. I'm making an even harder prediction to guess the draft order .The picks are all mine , but keep in mind that I have done limited tape study on these prospects so far .They are mostly guys I couldn't help noticing while watching others on tape this year, or guys I expected to enter the 2019 draft that stayed. Some are just really talented ,and I expect them to step up this year as well, but there may be some draft eligible sophomores I don't even realize have a chance to enter next years draft . Don't forget that here 2 new playoff teams this season . One in each conference, and that means the 14 teams with the lowest draft slots made the playoffs. With the schedule being released it also means that my draft order has changed based on my strength of schedule thoughts . Without further ado , here it is. Feel free to leave a comment. Agreeing or disagreeing is welcome, but please do it intelligently and respectfully. If you can't, or resort to personal attacks, I just won't post it.So here it is. Enjoy.
