DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION OFFICIAL 2021 NFL Draft - Day 3 Discussion Thread

[Kontradiction]

Why draft a RB? I thought we were pretty loaded there. Oh well, no biggie.

Because White is ancient for a RB, Sony has a bad knee, and Harris needs to be spelled from time to time. I mocked Stevenson to us in a bunch of mocks I did and advocated for him in the mid rounds as a Blount replacement. Happy with the pick.

Stevenson looks so powerful and decisive. A bit srange move to me but I like his old school running style.

 

[Lansdowne]

Guessing we will not be picking up Michels option.

Understandably so. It’s worth $4,523,000 in 2022, which would make him the 15th highest paid RB in the league that season. Too expensive for a backup RB.

This pick is ok ,but confusing Taylor and Bolden out? Sony?

I like the Stevenson pick a lot. We had a lot of solid RB going into the draft, but lacked a true power runner and a young guy who can inherit White's role as a passing down back. I think this guy has a chance to be both, which is a very strange combination that could amount to what is called a "complete back".

I really like this pick. We needed a bigger
goal-line back. Our rb group was already strong. Now its loaded.
On paper, this entire draft has been superb

They might have just gotten their Kareem Hunt...he looks a lot like him. Good pick.

 

[Schmo]

I remember seeing Michel in on short yardage a lot. This pick makes sense.

A lot less confusing if you read the explaining posts.

 

[zimmy]

He does play a little like Blount on these highlights packages. Can certainly see the link. Feels like a red shirt year type though.

A Patriot hater actually giving us some credit....

I actually love this pick. I wanted a WR (wanted Simi Fehoko), but Stevenson is one of my favorites. He is the most Lagarrette Blount type back I’ve seen in a while. Plus, like Blount, though he’s not a speed demon, he has some wiggle, and can take it to the house. Plus he runs over guys, he definitely could be a great goal line back. Plus he’s a decent receiver, and excellent pass blocker. He’s just a very underrated back. Lagarrette Blount II. Perfect for a team that wants to run the ball down team’s throats. Would’ve preferred Chuba Hubbard, mainly because he incredibly explosive, but we are a power running team.

Interesting choice. Doesn’t seem to fill a need as he doesn’t fit that James White mold. Seems like they’re prepared to move on from Sony soon. I love this draft though, I like all of the guys they’ve drafted.

 

[Teej]

I love the emphasis on toughness.

 

[Betterthanmost]

I think Sony may not make it out of camp.

@KontradictioN if you are telling the truth about calling this one, well done! (Now, about your stock picks...)

What a terrific compliment to Harris and White. And Michel if the knee hangs in there. Each of these four backs requires completely different scheming.

 

[masterbouncer]

actually like the pick

 

[50-yard-line]

AH, so that answers that.

One if my favorite authors from Mass chiming in on the draft. Nice...

It's really weird - his tweets mirror my posts here almost word for word.

Football Sunday’s must be awesome on the west coast. Sleep in and watch the first game at 10:00 am, second game over by 4:00 and snf done by around 9 pm.

Nice to watch the draft from 5-9 instead of 8-midnight...and the Superbowl parties are awesome.
