Gonzo Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) With the regular season over, teams can begin turning their focus to the 2021 NFL Draft which, as of now, is scheduled to take place in Cleveland, OH from 29 April to 1 May. The following is the first-round draft order for this year's selection meeting. The numbers after each pick are the team's 2020 regular season record and their strength of schedule. In the case of teams with the same record, the lower strength of schedule is given the higher pick.

Gonzo Posted January 11, 2021 Author Posted January 11, 2021 I've taken the liberty of updating Picks 19 through 24 even though there's still three quarters remaining in this final Wild Card Game because I can't imagine that the Steelers are going to stop shitting themselves at any point this evening.
Gonzo Posted January 11, 2021 Author Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I could go back and edit the previous post to make it look like I might not have jinxed the Browns, but I'll leave it. But I'll edit this post to say that I didn't jinx the Browns after all and all the picks through #24 are officially set. Edited January 11, 2021 by Gonzo
Gonzo Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 The draft order is officially set through Pick #28.
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Since all of those interviews should be recorded, I'm going to guess there are going to be a lot of Assistant GM's that are going to re-do their questionnaires. (stupid fucking Jeff Ireland)

Gonzo Posted January 24, 2021 Author Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) The first 30 picks are officially set. Edited January 25, 2021 by Gonzo
RIPPA Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Maybe they did this last year - who knows but ESPN is having a SportsCenter Special dedicated entirely to Mel Kiper revealing his first mock draft for this year I guess content is content 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Well, he may need to explain his draft, because the article was published yesterday: Spoiler 1. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: QB TREVOR LAWRENCE, CLEMSON 2. NEW YORK JETS: WR DEVONTA SMITH, ALABAMA (!!!) 3. MIAMI DOLPHINS (VIA HOUSTON): WR JA'MARR CHASE, LSU 4. ATLANTA FALCONS: QB ZACH WILSON, BYU 5. CINCINNATI BENGALS: OT PENEI SEWELL, OREGON 6. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: WR JAYLEN WADDLE, ALABAMA 7. DETROIT LIONS: QB JUSTIN FIELDS, OHIO STATE 8. CAROLINA PANTHERS: QB TREY LANCE, NORTH DAKOTA STATE 9. DENVER BRONCOS: LB MICAH PARSONS, PENN STATE 10. DALLAS COWBOYS: OL RASHAWN SLATER, NORTHWESTERN 11. New York Giants: TE Kyle Pitts, Florida 12. San Francisco 49ers: CB Patrick Surtain II, Alabama 13. Los Angeles Chargers: OT Christian Darrisaw, Virginia Tech 14. Minnesota Vikings: OT/G Alijah Vera-Tucker, USC 15. New England Patriots: QB Mac Jones, Alabama 16. Arizona Cardinals: CB Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech 17. Las Vegas Raiders: DE Jaelen Phillips, Miami (Fla.) 18. Miami Dolphins: LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Notre Dame 19. Washington Football Team: WR Kadarius Toney, Florida 20. Chicago Bears: OT Tevin Jenkins, Ole Miss 21. Indianapolis Colts: DE Kwity Paye, Michigan 22. Tennessee Titans: DE Gregory Rousseau, Miami 23. New York Jets (via Seattle): CB Jaycee Horn, South Carolina 24. Pittsburgh Steelers: DE/OLB Zaven Collins, Tulsa 25. Jacksonville Jaguars (via LA Rams): DT Christian Barmore, Alabama 26. Cleveland Browns: DB Aaron Robinson, UCF 27. Baltimore Ravens: WR Terrace Marshall Jr., LSU 28. New Orleans Saints: S Trevon Moehrig, TCU 29. Green Bay Packers: CB Tyson Campbell, Georgia 30. Buffalo Bills: RB Najee Harris, Alabama 31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: DE Joe Tyron, Washington 32. Kansas City Chiefs: OLB/DE Azeez Ojulari, Georgia Yeah, that #2 pick is going to take about 45 minutes alone.
Kevin Wilson Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 That almost feels like an initial rough draft just to spur conversation and get the ball rolling, there are a lot of odd picks on that list. The chances of the Bills drafting a RB in the 1st when they have major needs on the OL, DE, and possibly LB if Milano isn't re-signed is virtually nil, unless they are in pure BPA mode which is doubtful. 1
Gonzo Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 Barring the damnedest thing you've ever seen in the last 3:45 of this game, the complete first round draft order is set.

Tabe Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 LOL. He's got Detroit trading down and then not taking a quarterback? 1
RIPPA Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Speaking of the Draft - Mike Greenberg will now be the host of ESPN's coverage
RIPPA Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Tabe said: LOL. He's got Detroit trading down and then not taking a quarterback? I really wish I could see the actual trades because I am trying to figure out how he has NE jumping up to #9 EDIT - HA! Even Better Apparently Mel doesn't make actual trades he just kinda goes "eh.... give them some picks" Example Quote Kiper believes New England would have to trade “at least” their No. 15 pick this year, a 2021 second-round pick and a pick in 2022. He even suggested the Patriots might have to include their 2022 first-round pick. 2
RIPPA Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Oh and to answer @Tabe's question - it appears Kiper believes that the Lions don't need a QB this year (or at least one in the first couple of rounds) because of Jared Goff. I will just say that he isn't the only draft guy I have seen that from recently

I sorta get the idea of waiting to see if Goff pans out and drafting other areas this year, just don't see it happening. 1
RIPPA Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 The NFL has informed teams that they are allowed to operate out of draft war rooms again (now standard measures in place (masks, social distancing) No word on if the draft will be in person yet or not
RIPPA Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Quote A select number of prospects will take the stage in Cleveland while fans, media, NFL Network, ESPN and ABC crews will also be on-site as the league welcomes the new rookie class. Building on the success of last year's virtual Draft, additional prospects will also participate in Draft festivities remotely from their homes around the country. Club personnel involved in the selection process will be permitted to gather in a Draft Room at a location of their choosing, whether that be their facility or elsewhere while following appropriate protocols. Set against the backdrop of Lake Erie, the NFL Draft Main Stage will serve as the central hub for Draft activities, including where pick announcements will be made by Commissioner Goodell and other special guests. In addition to picks being made in Cleveland, the NFL and clubs will partner to make selections from across the country on Day 3. The Draft Theatre will act as the viewing zone for the Main Stage and will seat invited guests, including individuals selected for the exclusive "Inner Circle presented by Subway." Chosen by each of the 32 clubs to serve as their Draft ambassadors, fans selected to the "Inner Circle" will have a front row seat to the NFL Draft Main Stage to cheer on their team's picks. To further the NFL's efforts in promoting the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine when available, and consistent with guidance from the CDC, fans selected to sit in the "Inner Circle" must be fully vaccinated.
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 I see nothing in that announcement about Belichick's dog being in attendance.
Gonzo Posted March 26, 2021 Author Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) The draft order has been updated to reflect today's trades involving Miami, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. San Francisco is now at #3 overall while Miami is now at #6 and Philadelphia is now at #12. Edited March 26, 2021 by Gonzo
