Still grinding tape as I become aware if more & more draft eligible players. A lot of the players in this mock are still guys I couldn't help noticing while watching last years tape, or guys I expected to enter last years draft that stayed in school, and some guys who lived up to their billing early on. So far this looks like a draft deep in edge rushers , Cornerback's and Safeties on defense. On offense the definite strength is O-lineman , but this classes WR's , and more surprisingly TE's are growing on me. Due to the financial losses from Covid I expect another off season with a lot of veteran QB movement , and a lot of first round QB'S again, WHETHER THEY DESERVE IT OR NOT, and the college QB situation has gotten more muddied for me early this year. With big name QB's like Spencer Rattler, Kedon Slovis, and D'eriq King all faltering the first QB off the board is probably still up for grabs in most draft rooms . Personally I am now favoring Matt Corral , because Corral definitely looked better in the heads up match with Malik Willis. Although, there are 2 other QB's that I can see challenging them for that mantle. Also, I personally think Sam Howell should go back to school so his supporting cast can get better , and he can revive his draft stock, but he could still sneak into the late first for a QB needy team. So a lot of trades will probably happen, but I don't put trades in mocks until it's draft season again, and the losers of the Deshaun Watson derby ( out of Philly, Carolina, Miami, and Denver) might be looking to trade up. I even think it's 50/50 that the top pick is traded to a QB needy team this year. Plus ,if the Pack doesn't bend over for Aaron Rodgers he will be on the market too. Then there is the Falcons. If they have another losing season ,with another top 10 pick they might trade Matt Ryan , and go full rebuild with a new rookie QB. Without further ado here it is. Agreeing or disagreeing is welcome, but please do it intelligently & respectfully or I just won't post it. so here it is. Enjoy.
