    Depending on who you ask, Andrew Thomas, Jedrick Wills Jr. and/or Tristan Wirfs.

    Miami is going to take Tua. The Chargers will take a tackle, and the Giants might as well. Herbert will slide down the draft board like Aaron Rodgers.

    Right now, my mock would start this way:
    1. Bengals -- Burrow
    2. Ronskins -- Young
    3. Dolphins -- Tua. Miami trades up with Detroit to take Tua so no one else can
    4. Giants -- Andrew Thomas/Jedrick Wills/Tristan Wirfs. Who knows which one Gettleman likes best? They need an OT bad, and he loves linemen.
    5. Lions -- Okudah. Detroit gets their shutdown corner that a lot of people thought they would take at 3. There's an outside chance they go with Simmons instead. If they do, the Panthers will grab Okudah at 7 and be happy with it.
    6. Chargers -- Andrew Thomas/Jedrick Wills/Tristan Wirfs. Then will get a QB later, right now they need a Tackle and Herbert isn't worth the 6th. This could be a trade down candidate.
    7. Jets -- Andrew Thomas/Jedrick Wills/Tristan Wirfs. They have a serious need at OT and will trade up to take the last of the big three. Carolina gets the 11th and another 3rd rounder for Hurney to blow. If there's no trade and the draft has shaken out this way, the Panthers will grab Brown as an obvious fit.
    8. Cardinals -- Jeudy or Lamb. No good tackles are left and each is as good a WR prospect the league has seen in years.
    9. Jaguars -- Simmons. This is a tough one, because while LB is their biggest need, they really need a MLB and Simmons is not that. Still, he's an amazing playmaker at a position of need. They may grab Derrick Brown here if he's available though. OUTSIDE chance they take Herbert, but I think they are going to roll with Minshew.
    10. Browns -- Austin Jackson. There's been an early run on OTs already, and they need two of them. They start a run on the second tier.
    11. Panthers -- Derrick Brown, for obvious reasons. If we don't trade I think there's a chance we take him there, but he's just as likely to be available here. If the Browns Brown and take him instead, we'll grab Fulton.

    Forget it Jim, it's the Bleacher Report...

    I would love, love, love the Okudah pick, particularly if we somehow retain Bradberry. This puts Jackson in the slot, and gives us a secondary that's suddenly a team strength. However, a staple of a Bellichick defense is having a shutdown corner, and Patricia wants/needs one really bad. Okudah is one of the best players in the draft on paper, and I have a hard time seeing him get by them. If a team other than the Dolphins trades up for Tua, then they also need a CB and he'll be the best on the board. I just don't see him making it to seven.

    Edwards and Middlehurst-Schwartz both forget that we have a lot of needs outside LT, and we drafted two of them last year. Hurney will want to see if either develops before going there again.

    Renner must be secretly related to Epenesa. I wouldn't mind seeing him on the Panthers, but only if we trade down to the middle of the first round. If Brown or Simmons is available they'll be the pick before Epenesa in 32 of 32 war-rooms. Hell, I think the Panthers would take Jeudy or Lamb at 7 before Epenesa. We're not run by Jon Gruden, after all.

    Yeah, I get it. We're still close enough to the top to avoid a lot of cascade effects though. Unless Gettleman goes nuts we're probably going to end up with Brown.

    I'm a Jets fan, just doing some research into who you guys are looking to draft. Looks like either OT or WR seems to be the consensus from the little bit I've read. I just wanted to touch on your post, the Jets desperately need an OL for Darnold but what they need more of is draft picks. I'd have to imagine a jump up to the Panthers pick would be expensive, not sure what you'd be willing to accept to drop back that far.

    I'd prefer the Jets stay at 11 and take one of the top 3 OL or take a WR, I really want CeeDee Lamb.

    The Jets would have to give up their third round pick to swap firsts. The challenge in this case is there are three top-tier tackles and then a bunch of guys that have promise but need some work. If you want to get someone capable of starting in their first year you will need to get them in the top 10, and you guys sit at 11.

    If you don't trade up, between the Dolphins (assuming the pass on Tua or someone jumps them to grab him), Giants, Chargers, Browns, and Cardinals those three are going to be gone, and your consolation prize is a WR.

    Panthers needs are primarily on the interior defensive line, middle linebacker, and cornerback. A lot of people think we need OT but we have two in their second year of development and get our LG back from injury. Our OL problems are mainly at the Center position, IMO. The players we would really like to get are Derrick Brown, Jeffrey Okudah, and then maybe Isiaih Simmons or a tackle (which I doubt). In the second we're probably going to target a MLB or Center, whoever is available.
