2021 NFL Draft Bold Predictions: Justin Fields #3 overall? No defensive players in Top 10? 2 or more RBs in the 1st round? (Football 4/28) Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

The Pick Six Superfriends gather, as they often do around big events, to make bold predictions for the 2021 NFL Draft. Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and John Breech all have some wild, yet not absolutely improbably, predictions for how things will go down on Thursday night. We know that there should be a heavy run of offensive players to kick off the draft, but how long will that stretch continue? There's all sorts of speculation around #3 and while the obvious choice appears to be Mac Jones, Brinson takes it in another direction for the 49ers. The guys mix in draft props as they predict when players and positions will be off the board.

Show notes

We're answering questions from YOU the listeners on this special NFL Draft mailbag episode. The Pick Six Superfriends answer questions from Apple Podcasts. Could the NFL implement a draft lottery, similar to the NBA? Could a team of this year's top prospects compete for the playoffs next season? Ryan Wilson defends his mock draft record and stands by his guy, Mac Jones. The Jaguars aren't interested in dealing #1 overall but if they were, what kind of return would Trevor Lawrence command? The guys share their thoughts on the likelihood of the Steelers selecting a RB at #24 and speculate on what Bill Belichick has in plan for the Patriots at quarterback.

2021 NFL Draft DB Prospect Rankings: 5 corners could go in Round 1, but uncertainty around who will be selected 1st (Football 4/22) Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

We've made it to the secondary and our last group of prospect position rankings. Will Brinson welcomes on Josh Edwards to break down his top 10 defensive backs, combining both cornerbacks and safeties onto the same list. It's a list that includes several players with famous football-playing fathers including #10 Asante Samuel Jr, #5 Jaycee Horn and #1 Patrick Surtain II. Trevon Moehrig out of TCU is the highest-rated safety according to Josh, but the Top 10 is dominated by CBs. We know a slew of them will be selected in the first round, but there remains uncertainty about which one will be first off the board...

2021 NFL Draft EDGE/LB Prospect Rankings: Will anyone other than Micah Parsons be the 1st linebacker off the board? (Football 4/21) Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

Time to tackle the top EDGE and LB prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft and to do so, Will Brinson welcomes on Josh Edwards for his Top 5 guys at each position. 2 Miami players make the list at EDGE, but neither hold the top spot. Who holds that distinction (2:45)? We also examine the LBs (22:45) with a focus on who could be the 1st player off the board. Micah Parsons out of Penn State is the obvious answer, but Will and Josh try to look for value. Jamin Davis from Kentucky is a name to keep an eye on in case Parsons slips.

2021 NFL Draft OL/DL Prospect Rankings: Breaking down the strong OL class headlined by Penei Sewell and weak DT class (Football 4/21) Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

The prospect rankings continue as Chris Trapasso joins Will Brinson to break down his top offensive line and defensive line players in the 2021 NFL Draft. We start with the side that has much more enticing prospects and that's the OL (4:30). Alijah Vera-Tucker is a promising player out of USC climbing up draft boards, but Trapasso has him lower than most because he thinks he projects on the interior at the next level. Rashawn Slater could be considered the consensus #2 tackle prospect, but Chris has him lower. There's no hesitation in labeling Penei Sewell the best of the bunch, but that doesn't mean there is value on him to be the first OL selected. Christian Darrisaw might be worth thinking about as a value play though. Next, the guys switch sides and hit on the top DTs in this class (24:45). Expect only 1-2 to be chosen in the 1st round.

2021 NFL Draft RB Prospect Rankings: Najee Harris leads the pack while Travis Etienne falls outside of the Top 2 (Football 4/20) Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

This episode continues to cover skill position prospects in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft. Emory Hunt joins Will Brinson to focus on the running backs in this year's class. 2 UNC RBs land inside the Top 10, but Emory ranks 1 much higher and 1 much lower than the consensus. Trey Sermon balled out on a big stage at Ohio State, but will his game translate to the next level? Jermar Jefferson, Khalil Herbert and Pooka Williams are names to keep an eye on as well. Then, we get to the #3 slot which features Travis Etienne, who some have as the top back in 2021. The Alabama product, Najee Harris, leads the way, but Emory still says not to count on a RB being selected in the 1st round.

2021 NFL Draft WR/TE Prospect Rankings: Chase, Smith, Waddle lead WR class while Kyle Pitts alone at the top of the TEs + Alex Smith announces his retirement (Football 4/20) Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

Last week we covered the quarterbacks and this week we're hitting all the other positions, previewing the top prospects in each group. On this episode Ryan Wilson joins Will Brinson to break down the top wide receivers and tight ends in the 2021 NFL Draft. But first, the guys offer their reactions to the end of a super impressive career from Alex Smith (4:15). Smith announced his retirement on Monday after years as an above-average quarterback and one of the most miraculous comebacks in league history. Then, Ryan dishes his Top 10 WR prospect rankings (13:15). Pay attention to names like Rondale Moore, Amari Rodgers and Tylan Wallace as we get to Day 2 and beyond. But up top is where the real focus is as Ja'Marr Chase, DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle are in a class of their own. We analyze what's so special about their games and where they could be selected. Then, our attention shifts to the tight ends led by Kyle Pitts (41:00). There more than likely won't be another TE picked in the 1st round, but still plenty to be impressed by and potentially surprised by in this class.
