Draft 2021

[HoosierinFL]

I just saw Kiper mocked us taking Kwity Paye:
With Philip Rivers retired and Jacoby Brissett a free agent, we know the Colts will be in the quarterback market this offseason. If they wait until the draft to make their move, they might have to trade up to get their guy. I don’t see a fit here. Paye is a tough evaluation. He finished his four-year college career with 11.5 sacks and had only two last season. But we know that the draft is all about size/athleticism traits, even when the production doesn’t match. And that’s 6-4, 270-pound Paye, who is a gifted athlete. This is an upside pick, and the Colts have a hole at defensive end with Justin Houston hitting free agency.

Honestly that sounds terrible. A pass rushing project in the first round? wtf?
Sounds stupid to me.
But some writers think he's pretty good:

I know nothing about him, why doesn't his production match his measurables?

I don’t think Kiper knows what to do with our pick yet. He is waiting to see how we address QB.

If he's doing that well, he'll likely be gone by 21.

Maybe not though, how many teams are looking for a QB really

01) JAX - QB (1)
02) NYJ - Likely QB (.75)
03) MIA - Unlikely QB (.25)
04) ATL - Possible QB (.5)
05) CIN - No QB (0)
06) PHI - Unlikely QB (.25)
07) DET - Likely QB (.75)
08) CAR - Possible QB (.5)
09) DEN - Likely QB (.75)
10) DAL - No QB (0)
11) NYG - No QB (0)
12) SF - Possible QB (.5)
13) LAC - No QB (0)
14) MIN - No QB (0)
15) NE - Likely QB (.75)

Just in the Top 15, assuming one of the Top 5 QBs are available at the pick, a very basic probability analysis shows a need for 6 QBs on average.

I doubt more than 4 QB's will be taken in the first round. It has only happened 2 times. In 83 there were 6 and in 99 there were 5. most any other yrs was 4.

I feel like C&O with this post . HAHA

The 2018 draft had 5 first round QB's - Mayfield, Darnold, Allen, Rosen and Jackson.
