We have no idea what the Miami Delfins’ 2021 NFL Draft Board looks like this afternoon. But what we do know is that the final point of consensus in this year’s project is Kyle Pitts of Florida, and the apparent top receiver in this year’s project is Ja’Marr Chase of LSU. How good are both resumes? There is a viable chance, thanks to the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals, that neither of these two players will last until the general election no. 6 – when the Miami Dolphins come to watch.
That’s the bad news.
But the good news for dolphins is that a recent report by Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated seems to indicate that Miami dolphins could avoid a potential “final day” scenario in the 2021 NFL draft, where neither the tight end nor the the wide top receiver does not last until the general election no. 6. The report comes from Breer’s weekly MMQB column and highlights the intentions of the Atlanta Falcons, who are currently scheduled to finish 4th overall.
“We are talking about the first three elections. And that leaves the Falcons as a team to watch – one that will have to make a decision on his choice, with some complicated quarterback finances (thanks to all of Matt Ryan’s restructuring) and a team that needs more young talent. cheap to surround his core with, ”wrote Breer.
“I think the Falcons will stay in 4th place and take a quarterback, because I don’t think they want to rely on such a big choice again and this is going to be a very strong year in this position. But I know they are open to the idea of trading the choice and have had exploratory discussions with other teams about a deal that would make someone else go up to number 4. ”
Exploratory discussions with other quarterback-hungry teams are certainly something to note – although the Carolina Panthers’ decision to trade for QB Sam Darnold may have an impact on the urgency of the commercial market for this year’s project. And if that’s the case, Miami could be squeezed and see the Falcons TE Kyle Pitts project on a “best available player” principle. But if there are enough teams willing to push against each other for a defender and the Falcons get a deal sweet enough to force them to act and follow the calls they already had, the Dolphins would have guaranteed to see at least one of TE1 and WR1 on the board for them at number 6 in general.
