We still have two full days to go. After a press conference that came off as both venting with a hint of frustration, I’m fascinated to see if it’ll continue to be Mac Jones at No. 3 overall. Plus, what’s next with Jimmy?

“I actually . um,” Lance said before pausing, as if he were carefully choosing his next words.

About four months ago, I had posted a big board in the Fan Post section of the site (if you do not view Fan Post articles already, I highly encourage that you check that part of the site out), and Pittzblitz56 approached me about doing a potential collaborative big board that involved the BTSC community. Without DropTheHammer’s Big Board, we thought that a collaborative big board would be a way to fill the void that his big board left.
Ryland B. later approached me in the comment section of that same article, saying that he would be willing to help put the big board together and contribute analysis. We began the board ourselves, but we left it open to BTSC members who wanted to contribute as well. A couple weeks in, one of BTSC’s site moderators, SNW, said that he would gather each player’s stats and consensus ranking. Not long after, a couple more BTSC members, Itz JustNoah and Necksnation, jumped in and helped Ryland and I contribute analysis.

Perhaps only a transcendent quarterback class could shift the spotlight away from Alabama football when the 2021 NFL Draft opens Thursday night in Cleveland.
The national champion Crimson Tide are set to challenge the record for first-round picks in a single draft. Quarterback Mac Jones, Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith, explosive fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back Najee Harris lead the wave of Nick Saban’s former charges expected to be selected among the top 32 picks. Cornerback Patrick Surtain II, defensive lineman Christian Barmore, offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood and linebacker Dylan Moses are also potential first-rounders.
In a testy news conference, the San Francisco coach also made a morbid observation about starter Jimmy Garoppolo while declaring that fans should be "happy we’re going to solve" the team's quarterback problem.

Trevor Lawrence is joining both the NFL and the world of cryptocurrency in the same week. The expected No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft has signed an endorsement deal with Blockfolio, a cryptocurrency investment app.
The multi-year contract includes a signing bonus that was paid in crypto through Lawrence’s Blockfolio account. The payment was made in multiple crypto coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.
“Trevor Lawrence is the future of professional football and cryptocurrency is the future of money, so the partnership was a no-brainer,” said Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO of Blockfolio. “But as impressive as Trevor is on the field, I was most impressed with his character and charitable focus off the field.”
