This is a list of a top 100 prospects by a guy with a great track record.

2021 NFL draft - Jeff Legwold ranks the top 100 prospects (espn.com)

It actually lists 120 prospects.

We have 5 picks in the top 123. I would be happy if all 5 came from this list. If they take anyone outside of it, that would be a red flag to me.

A good read about how a change in scheme could impact the draft.

NFL Draft: Eagles could select an edge rusher or trade down at No. 12 (usatoday.com)

Some thoughts.

I think Samuel, Melifonwu and Newsome fit much better in a cover two scheme, and trading back to the 20s to take one of them or waiting to see if any of them are there at 37 is a good plan.

A lot of people think Horn and Surtain go in the top 10, and so I imagine we go wr if one of the top 3 is available.

I would hate a DE pick at 12. It's not really that I am opposed to Paye or Phillips, but rather the fact that there will likely be a ton of developmental guys available later. In mock draft simulations, it seems like the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds always have a ton of edge rushers.

If we want to run cover two, we had better get committed to bringing in better LBs and safeties.  

Phillips is being talked about having medical red flags. Must not be completely terrible.....but he can’t be in the discussion of top twenty

I thought Samuel was considered a slot guy. I think the two Georgia corners are the best fit.

He or Paye just scream Howie pick.

This'll come in handy if TB drafts a helicopter to replace Brady

I would be happy with any of out receivers catching a 5 yard pass

4 days out another article on Philly not likely to stay at 12.... This is either the worst kept secrets or a pretty damn good smoke screen. 

Yeah but see, it's a fake, of the fake smoke screen  when we faked last weeks faked smoke screens, so is it real or fake or a fake/real smokescreen?

I’m just not seeing who will be at 12 that’s so much greater than who we’d take at 18(or whatever). I’d probably say the T Darrisaw I’d have ranked right around twelve. But are we going Oline first pick? Not thinking so....but who knows.

Darrisaw has great film. Basically reminds me of Runyan.

The 12 pick is confusing to me also. I'm thinking Howie is thinking "take whomever falls out of the top 10". Of course the "top 10" is subjective also. Most of the "pros" agree we need a WR badly And probably 2 CB's

How about Smith/Waddle,then Molden then in round 3 Browning and Adebo?./ That would give us talent where it's sorely needed,then get some DT and DE's Maybe a RB prospect

Smith or Waddle seem like the odds on favorites

Yeah, but I meant with the other 3 picks I would think that is a nice draft start!!!

I want Bolton or one of the two Georgia corners in round two if we take a Bama WR in one. Then try and get Basham or maybe Turner as pass rusher. And would like to Cisco at S. Really feel he fits what I believe will be our D.

But you got to be flexible in the draft. Just take the guy that falls. Whoever it may end up being. Go with the flow.

Who was the corner they calimed ran a 4.25 40?

I take that time with a grain of salt anyway

Such hard speculation for us because we haven’t seen our coaches really do anything yet. The draft should be good insight into their thinking.

Stokes. Everybody knows he might be the fastest guy in the draft. Whatever his legit times are.

Tyson Campbell his teammates (the other corner) ran a 4.34 forty

If he can change directions that is Darrell Green fast

Hall of Fame cornerback Darrell Green turned 50 on Tuesday. He turned more than a few heads when he tweeted that he celebrated his birthday by running the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds.

This is 10 years old but impressive none the less

I like Campbell. He seems to be flying under the radar. 6’2” corner with that speed is a great combo. He got dominated by Pitts when they played Fl...which I’m not killing him for.

Deion Sanders....then he waved goodbye as he kept running right into a waiting car

I expect we need zone corner types. Not really what Horn is. He thrives in press man coverage. I’m thinking Campbell would be pretty ideal.

Plus no combine. It's a mock mess
