It's almost that time of year

I guess Stirs might be interested. I got a stupid trade offer early so used it to load up on fast DBs who can play special teams and fat guys who might become good linemen someday. I don't know that Fannin Jr. will be available at 58 but Bryce would have an orgasm if we got him. Higgins and Royals are two very different receivers who just happened to be the BPA at their pick.

All in all, if the board fell this way I think that our first two picks would be immediate starters, and we would get quality play from Kennard and maybe Sampson. Ramsey would probably be a starter in 2026.

 

These things are fun to do. Makes us look like GM's of the year, haha.

Should we do mocks in a separate thread to the 2025 NFL Draft? Probably so I guess.

I will start posting a couple.

I never know if we will make a change at DC and our defensive scheme, but it would certainly make things better if I knew.

I have toyed with Graham and Walker (NT) Would make for a very formidable front three when paired with Brown. But, it would take a trade down to 9 or 10 and prayers that Graham was still there. It only happens on simulators, haha

Below, we put Grant in the middle at 340 with Brown and Graham on each side
Kennard tries to secure a spot at OLB
Jayden Higgins is eventual replacement for Thielan
Jared Wilson is one of the best C/G in the country, no way he falls that far
Barham is a Ray Lewis sized LB which along with the beefier DL, would plug up our horrible Run D
Bassa is sort of a Thomas Davis type. Big Safety that can play LB

The rest just add to the CB, RB and QB rooms.

 

You like your Michigan players, don't you? Graham is a day one starter but I think that Grant will need a couple of years in an NFL conditioning program. Still could be good in rotation early on.

I used nflmockdraftdatabase.com, which thinks we have different picks than ProFootballNetwork, clearly. These things get more fun for me after the combine.
