The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread

19: R1 P19 OT Christian Darrisaw - Virginia Tech
51: R2 P19 QB Mac Jones - Alabama
74: R3 P10 WR Amon-Ra St. Brown - USC
82: R3 P18 S Paris Ford - Pittsburgh
124: R4 P19 CB Robert Rochell - Central Arkansas
164: R5 P19 LB Charles Snowden - UVA
243: R7 P17 TE Quintin Morris - Bowling Green
245: R7 P19 G Brenden Jaimes - Nebraska

IMO that would be an excellent draft. Good job!

19. Washington Football Team: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame
There’s a quarterback on the board in Alabama’s Mac Jones, and that’s Washington’s top need, but adding a veteran to the current mix is the more likely outcome. There’s a solid case here for a receiver (Florida’s Kadarius Toney) or left tackle (Darrisaw), and no doubt an offense that ranked 25th in scoring last season needs more oomph. However, the linebacking unit is the clear weak link defensively and a group coach Ron Rivera called out at times during the season. Owusu-Koramoah finished with 11 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles last season. The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder brings needed speed and versatility to a defense lacking that element behind a loaded line. — Ben Standig

Lost in the shuffle of our needs at QB and WR is definitely LB. Definitely need upgrades there.

Yeah I agree, i think LB at 19 is a very realistic option

Agreed, but can we please draft 2 pass coverage LB's and/or add via FA? We were weak in against the run at times last year, but always woeful in pass D from the LB's. Guys who can cover TE's please!

I'm hoping for an LT or WR at 19, and Jabril Cox in the 2nd.

Bring back Darby, and sign Denzel Perryman in free agency, and this defense is L E G I T.

What about one of the Ravens OLB's in FA? Sounding like they can't/won't re-sign either or tag one of them. Would Ngakoue or Judon fit here?

Would really like a LB, I think WR can be found in FA and later rounds in the draft.

I agree, LB is harder to find than WR.

What? Hold on a minute. You'd better stretch him out on a rack and dump a load of bricks in his football pants if you want him to play LB.
