Felt like making a mock draft of my own. I’m going to pick up to the Vikings at 12. Even the experts get over half of their picks wrong. I am no different. Let’s begin.
1.01 - Jaguars - Aiden Hutchinson EDGE - They focused heavily on offense in FA, and appear to be locked in on pass rush at #1.
Other potential picks: Kayvon Thibodeaux, Evan Neal
1.02 - Lions - Kayvon Thibodeaux EDGE - A true mystery what they will do. Experts are all over the map. I think they continue on with the long term rebuild plan and build their pass rush.
Other potential picks: Malik Willis, Travon Walker
1.03 - Texans - TRADE with Falcons - Malik Willis QB - The Texans roster is so bad and simply needs a ton of picks to improve their team. If they stay put, Kyle Hamilton, Travon Walker, and Sauce Gardner are in play. The Falcons jump ahead of the Panthers and take the QB with the most upside in the draft.
1.04 - Jets - Evan Neal OT - Jets can’t pass up having 2 mountain human beings as their bookend tackles so Zach Wilson can grow.
Other potential picks: Sauce Gardner, Travon Walker, Drake London
1.05 - Giants - Charles Cross OT - Their OL is a mess and Cross gives them someone who can pass block for their upcoming QB of the future.
Other potential picks: Kyle Hamilton, Ikem Ekwonu
1.06 - Panthers - Kenny Pickett QB - There’s nothing more dangerous than a desperate HC and GM on the hot seat. They simply can’t head into next season with Sam Darnold as QB 1. Pickett has the high floor to start day 1 but I think Panthers fans will grow to hate the pick when Rhule is fired. I could also see them embracing heavy RPO with CMC with Corral.
Other potential picks: Matt Corral, Ikem Ekwonu, Trade Down
1.07 - Giants - Sauce Gardner CB - I’ve seen lots of mock drafts with the Giants doubling down on OL. That could happen I suppose. I’m following the scent of recent rumors that they are willing to eat salary to trade James Bradbury. I think they have their eye on Sauce.
Other potential picks: Ikem Ekwonu, Kyle Hamilton, Jordan Davis?
1.08 - Texans (trade from Falcons) - Kyle Hamilton S - The trade down couldn’t work out any better for the Texans, who is probably considering him at 3 overall. With so many needs, they go BPA with a guy who could be considered the best talent in the entire class.
Other potential picks: Trade down again for a QB desperate team, Ikem Ekwonu, Travon Walker
1.09 - Seachickens - Devin Lloyd LB - Seattle is nearly impossible to guess. On a yearly basis they make wild reaches for players in the 1st round. Their defense has been woefully bad for years. Perhaps they take Bobby Wagner’s replacement here but I truly don’t know.
Other potential picks: George Karlaftis, someone who has a 3rd round grade at EDGE
1.10 - Jets - TRADE with Eagles - Jordan Davis NT - Philly takes advantage of their crazy draft capital to move up for Fletcher Cox’s replacement. If the Jets stay put, their HC comes from San Francisco who built a powerhouse front 7. They may elect to stay here to take Davis themselves.
Other potential picks for Jets: Travon Walker, George Karlaftis, Devonte Wyatt
Other potential picks for Eagles: Devonte Wyatt, Drake London
1.11 - Washington - Derek Stingley CB - Another pick where I really don’t know what direction they go. Do they take the first WR off the board to help Wentz? Their front 4 is stacked on defense so they don’t need help there. I’m not sure.
Other potential picks: Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Sam Howell?
1.12 - Vikings - Top 2 CBs off the board and so is Jordan Davis. I purposely made it a bad scenario for our team so one of our usual suspects doesn’t fall into our lap. What do you think happens here?
I’m envisioning a scenario where KAM is calling Pittsburgh to see if they want to trade up for a QB like Desmond Ridder or Sam Howell. Maybe the Saints or Titans want in on that action too.
Here are my potential picks if we stay at 12: Devonte Wyatt DT, Travon Walker EDGE (Hunter and Smith insurance), Jermaine Johnson EDGE, Trent McDuffie CB (Feels like a reach), Jameson Williams WR (highest upside WR)
Thoughts?
