This draft was really crazy. QB frenzy, All-Pro Players, and lots of trades.
Bucks missed opportunity for josh Allen
Barkley…. Ugh
Josh Allen by far the best qb from that draft.
BAker was all hype
Biggest blown draft by Cleveland. They could’ve had Saquon and Josh allen bru
Bills won the draft. josh allen baby.. dorsey likes swag like johnny manziel.. browns should of saw it coming
Buffalo won this draft by a country mile.
Baker needs a defense.
That cardinals pick looks good.
“Dude your gonna love New York” 😂
Browns could have taken Saquon #1 and still had baker at 4 lol
The kid who announced the 5th pick, does a better job than Roger Goodell.

From 0 div-1 scholarship offers out of high school to one of the best QB this year. (Josh Allen)

myotismon: ha! myostismon gets in! nobody stupid to pass me!
kirby:….Angemon!
myotismon: What!?
angemon: thank you kirby and you to sakurai!
I thought Nelson should have won OROY. That guy was rock solid all year. And I can only imagine the internet imploding at a guard winning it. 😂
Nelson is the Steal of this Draft and maybe a top5 steal of the decade
POV you’re here after Sam Darnold was traded because he couldn’t get a lot of wins
pov: you are here after the 2021 nfl draft
The "experts" just KNEW the Saints were taking Lamar Jackson 😂😂
I remember thinking Kolton Miller wow reach!?! Now I can't imagine what the Raiders Oline would be without him. What a pick! If Gruden did anything it was land us a franchise LT! Best Tackle in the draft I remember I wanted McGlinchey so bad. It all worked out!
I don’t know if I’m the only one that’s noticed this…but the intro at the beginning had eight players shown…the first four being Rosen, Darnold, Barkley and Mayfield…either busts or mediocre players. The next four? Rosen, Jackson, Chubb and Fitzpatrick, all incredible players in their own right. That’s pretty weird if you ask me.
Josh Allen
Lamar Jackson
Baker Mayfield
Saquon Barkley
Calvin Ridley
Nick Chubb
Fred Warner
Mark Andrews
Hayden Hurst
Sony Michel
Josh Rosen
Minkah Fitzpatrick
Sam Darnold
Denzel Ward
Vita Vea
Rashaad Penny
Emmanuel Moseley
Raider nation mayock not that guy
This is a certified hood classic
1. Baker Mayfield – What can you say about him man? He’s had a lot of ups and downs, but this has to be seen as an average pick right? – 5,5/10
2. Saquon Barkley – Super talented, amazing player and had a great start to his career. Despite that, he’s a running back who has missed 20 games in the last 2 years and hasn’t looked anywhere near what he was before his injuries. This is why running backs shouldn’t be top 10 picks. – 4/10
3. Sam Darnold – He has been a true failure in the league. Despite this, I blame the Jets for not having any idea on how to build a support system around the kid. Terrible coaching, no weapons or o-line and just throwing him out there to be battered. – 2/10
4. Denzel Ward – Very good pick. Still very young and has had 4 great seasons as their No. 1 corner. – 8/10
5. Bradley Chubb – So far you can definitely say this pick has been so so. He’s had some injury issues unfortunately, but that being said, he’s been elite when on the field. – 7/10
6. Quenton Nelson – Amazing pick, there was no way to see Luck retiring, so you can even nitpick and say they could’ve taken a Qb. He is the best guard in the league and the only critique you could have is some injury concerns. – 10/10
7. Josh Allen – What a huge risk this kid was, but opposed to Darnold, he was given a great head coach and coordinator, weapons to throw to and an awesome defense. He is a top 5 QB talent wise and a special player. (All this as a pats fan) – 10/10
8. Roquan Smith – Watched him a lot at Georgia and he translated perfectly to the NFL. 4 outstanding seasons including 3 all pro seasons. – 10/10
9. Mike McGlinchey – Solid player who has been very dependable until an injury this year. – 7/10
10. Josh Rosen – I’ve tried to find reasons to be an apologist for him, but he just wasn’t very good was he? Not to mention the pick that the cardinals hit for him turned into Andy Isabella, who also isn’t very good. – 0/10
11. Minkah Fitzpatrick – He is an absolute stud. An amazing safety who makes great plays in the run and pass game. All Pro level talent. That being said, he’s been all that for Pittsburg. The dolphins did get Austin Jackson for him, so I guess it’s a decent pick right? – 6,5/10
12. Vita Vea – Really great player who is fundamental in that awesome run defense. Some injury issues but still a great pick. – 8/10
13. Daron Payne – Another great player and leader for his defense. Has shown he was worth the pick. – 8/10
14. Marcus Davenport – A super bowl contender goes and trades 2 first round picks for a raw UTSA player who has been a fringe starter at best? Pretty terrible pick. 0/10
15. Kolton Miller – Not a great start to his career, but what a great player he’s turned into. Great player this year and probably an all-pro and pro bowl snub. – 8,5/10
16. Tremaine Edmunds – Rangy, young and great overall player. The modern linebacker is this kid. Great development into one of the better linebackers in this league. Great pick. – 8,5/10
17. Derwin James – Very tough to rate him. He is obviously extremely talented and a huge difference maker, especially in coverage. Despite that, he’s missed 29 games in 4 seasons!! Can’t deny the talent, so let’s just hope he can stay healthy. – 7/10
18. Jaire Alexander – Superstar player and probably a top 5 corner. Let’s hope this injury plagued season was just a small blip for a really great player. – 9/10
19. Leighton Vander Esch – When we look at the talent this draft had, it’s tough to see this as a good pick. He’s had some injury concerns and even when healthy, a 60% snap count LB is not what you expect out of a top 20 pick. – 4/10
20. Frank Ragnow – Had a tough season this year due to injury, but he is a top 5 center in the league for sure. – 7,5/10
21. Billy Price – Started one season and was average at best. Got benched and eventually traded to the Giants for a 7th rounder. – 1/10
22. Rashaan Evans – Not been as good as most thought he could become, but has been a solid starter on a good defense. – 5,5/10
23. Isaiah Wynn – This was the first year where he was able to get something going without injury issues. He’s shown flashes, but not great. – 5/10
24. DJ Moore – I think he has amazing talent and could be a superstar in this league. Unfortunately, he’s had really average QB play and hasn’t developed as much because of this. He can definitely prove that he’s better, but so far he’s great, but not a superstar. – 7/10
25. Hayden Hurst – They made up for this pick with getting Andrews in the same draft, but they have to be criticized for missing with this pick. If there’s any upside, he was traded for the pick that became J.K. Dobbins. – 2,5/10
26. Calvin Ridley – He is such a great player. 3 great seasons next to Julio and unfortunately missed this season, even though he was right to do it. Hope he comes back well, and I’m sure Atlanta will get something good for him if they do end up trading him. In the end, he’s been great, but never proven himself as a 100% no. 1, and Atlanta will probably have to lose him. Tough to grade. – 7,5/10
27. Rashaad Penny – He’s started 6 games in 4 years. He definitely has talent, but way too injury prone and unproductive to this point in his career to justify this high of a selection. 2/10
28. Terrell Edmunds – He’s a starter, but has definitely not lived up to the expectations as a first round pick. – 4,5/10
29. Taven Bryan – Not been a consistent starter and this year played around 30% of the snaps for a very bad team. – 2/10
30. Mike Hughes – Traded for a seventh rounder after starting less than 10 games. No value whatsoever – 0/10
31. Sony Michel – Hindsight is definitely 20/20 with Chubb being picked a few picks later, but he was a great starter and played a solid role on that super bowl team. He only lasted 2 seasons in NE though. – 4/10
32 – Lamar Jackson – MVP and amazing talent. He has definitely improved through the years and is just an awesome player to watch. Another player we hope won’t be hindered by some injury issues this year, but the talent and production is there for sure. – 10/10
Ahahahahahah hilarious how the Saints didn’t pick a future MVP and have started four different QBs this season
Davenport or Lamar hmmm what a tough choice
God Troy Aikman just has nothing inside his skull
Lamar Jackson is just so ugly that no one wanted to draft him.
"… and because he has a history of injury"
~take on josh rosen, coldest and realest thing I've heard from a scout.
Really a actor as a voice over hahahaha 😆 😂 🤣
We coulda had Josh Allen. Damn it Denver lol
I remember screaming at the TV at work when the bills took Allen instead of Rosen! Boy I'm glad I was wrong!
Browns could of had Jackson and Barkley… That run game…
“Character cuts both ways…”
That’s the most interesting way I’ve ever heard someone called an asshole…
You know what depresses me about the NFL draft? I get older, these guys stay the same age…
1000th COMMENT ON THIS NFL DRAFT
So, Lamar Jackson was still on the board by pick 15 overall, and the Raiders didn't go for him(?) – That makes no sense whatsoever. – Lamar Jackson is ten times better than Derek Carr. – WTF were the Raiders thinking here(?)
