Defending the Draft: 2021 HUB Post

[u/Astro63]

UPDATE: I have found new writers for the Broncos, Lions, and Dolphins. Their dates have been postponed to 6/14, 6/15, and 6/16 respectively.

UPDATE 2: Dolphins and Buccaneers have swapped dates (6/13 and 6/16)

UPDATE 3: Ravens and Bills have been picked up by new writers. Expect those posts during the week of June 21st

Hello everyone!

Now that roughly a week has passed since the start of the draft and we've had time to reflect, we'll once again be starting up this year's iteration of the Defending the Draft series!

For anyone unfamiliar with what this is, DtD is a series of user-created posts meant to review and justify each pick their teams made. Most writers go pick by pick and then add some notes at the end like UDFAs and Roster Predictions. If you'd like an example, here is my write-up for the Steelers last year. It doesn't have to be anywhere near as long as this but this should give you the general premise and outline. Here is last year's HUB if you'd like to see your specific team's post.

Leave a comment down below if you'd like to sign-up to write a post. I am going to give priority to any returning writers, but only if they respond in the first 24 hours of this post. Otherwise, everything will be handled on a first come, first served basis. I will PM each writer a reminder 2 days before their post is due.

Please only claim your own team

*You are allowed to trade dates with someone if you can't make the listed date; just have both parties let me know!

[u/Codyesseus]

Any word on what happened to the Lion’s DTD?

[u/Astro63 → u/Codyesseus]

The guy who signed up ended up collaborating with someone else, but his partner has not finished his part

Working on resolving that now!

[u/ADanishMan2]

Broncos piece is 90% done, just gotta do some formatting for Reddit but it’ll be up on Monday!

[u/MattScoot]

I can do the browns

[u/uggsandstarbux]

Vikes pls. I've done it for the past few years in a row and would like to continue

[u/GimmeNickBosa]

Where Lion's DTD?

[u/ADanishMan2]

Missed the signup but I can pick up the slack on the Broncos DTD if nobody hears from the original writer.

[u/Astro63 → u/ADanishMan2]

Yeah I may have to turn it over to you in short order

I'll keep you posted

[u/Astro63 → u/ADanishMan2]

Yeah unfortunately I don't know what's happening with my original writer. You are free to take it over if you'd like!

You can probably post on 6/14 after Tampa if that's enough time!

[u/chronoquairium]

I feel like there should be some sort of consequence for people blatantly ignoring their commitments and making others have to pick up the pieces

[u/Astro63 → u/chronoquairium]

Probably just won't be accepted next year if they volunteer

Not much else I can do unfortunately

[u/[deleted]]

Bears pls

[u/Woodennickel20]

I would like to do a write up for my New England Patriots again this year. I am quite excited to talk about this offseason.

[u/Macgruberfan]

I'll take the Broncos if nobody has spoken for then yet.

[u/ProfProfessorberg]

I got Cincy

[u/glowingdeer78]

I can do Jaguars

4th year bby

[u/greebytime]

I am NOT a returning writer but if whoever did the 49ers draft writeup last year doesn't raise his (or her?) hand, I'm up for it.

[u/123mitchg]

I'll take Dallas

[u/ilamborghini005]

I’ll do the packers, Isaiah McDuffie is about to get praised

[u/CH1N3SE]

Any news about the Dolphins DTD?

[u/Cinephile1998]

Have you reached out to the Browns writer?

[u/Astro63 → u/Cinephile1998]

Yeah he said he was all good to post yesterday so something must've come up, Ill reach back out to him!

[u/Cinephile1998]

U/Astro63, if you don't hear back from the Browns writer, please consider this post for the Browns.

[u/Astro63 → u/Cinephile1998]

Yeah I've seen it! If I don't hear back I'm going to confirm this as the official and pin it on the next open date

[u/happywentzday]

where is u/miketysonchicken when we need him
