Kiper: It's extremely close, and they both have superstar potential, but Smith is a better route runner - he is so smooth - and knows how to get open, whereas Chase still has a ways to go as a consistent route runner. McShay: Why do you like Smith over Chase, Mel? Kiper: That's OK, because I have Smith slightly ahead of Chase anyway, so I'm getting my top-ranked wideout. 4 pick, Kiper: DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama He is physical, he has speed, and his body control is outstanding. McShay: I love Pitts too, but I'm happy getting my No. I've never given a tight end as high a grade as I have for Pitts, and I've been doing this for more than 40 years. Pitts is the best available prospect on my board. There's no reason I need to take my quarterback now. Kiper: You know, I'm going to follow some advice from a draft consultant here. How are you going to stop him, Mel? What's your plan here? McShay: I win, right? Lawrence is the best quarterback prospect I've seen in a decade. 1 pick, McShay: Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson McShay: You might regret that this isn't the year to give up the top pick. But I admit, I'm still mad you stole Antoine Winfield Jr. from me in the middle picks. McShay: Either way, I'm not sure you had the defense to slow down CeeDee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk, Henry Ruggs III, Jerry Jeudy and D'Andre Swift in space. Jefferson would have 14 catches for 204 yards and three touchdowns against your defense. Kiper: My tackles wouldn't have let Young touch Burrow, and he'd get the ball out quickly anyway. And the press coverage from my guys Trevon Diggs and Jaylon Johnson would have been a problem for you. Todd McShay: Crushed me? Mel, Chase Young - the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year - would have been all over Burrow in the pocket. Justin Jefferson and Tee Higgins catching passes from Joe Burrow, who was protected at tackle by Mekhi Becton and Jedrick Wills Jr. Mel Kiper: I was looking at my team from last year, Todd, and I have to say that I crushed you. Jump to the end to see the complete rosters. Field Yates, who hosts the podcast, was the neutral observer, and he picked his favorite team, as well. Which team has the edge at quarterback, wide receiver, pass-rusher and cornerback? Let's start at the top and go pick by pick, ending with what Kiper and McShay think of their teams. They drafted all 44 picks live on the First Draft podcast Tuesday and debated their choices along the way. (Sorry, fans of special teams.) They were allowed to draft positions in any order, and they designed their units around whatever scheme they wanted to run on each side of the ball. The rules? Kiper and McShay alternated picks to fill out starting lineups, with each roster having 11 starters on both offense and defense. and Todd McShay went head-to-head to draft their own superteams of the best 2021 prospects. Two NFL draft analysts, 22 rounds, 44 total picks: Mel Kiper Jr.
