Draft Thread

This is the first one I've done where nobody wanted #6, so default to OT again. Cross is starting to scare me a bit, though. I'm starting to see some Greg Little in him game. He might be more of a project than the other two.



Got a trade back offer in day 3, so why not. Those LSU picks don't have a high ceiling, but they both look like they can help in the running game. Watson is a YOLO boom or bust WR. Paul is a high floor, James Hurst type swing OT. McCollum is a YOLO pick at CB.


Eleby is in the race for best late round QB, but he might be the best pure QB. The other guys look like Taysom Hill types. Ty Chandler looks like a reliable 3rd down back and special teamer of the Fozzy Whittaker vintage.

 

How do you get it to give you trade offers? PFN's does that, but PFF's doesn't for me.

 

Not technically an offer, just that none of the teams behind me wanted the pick in the trade drop box.

 

when you click/tap trade it takes you to the trade tab- where you'll see a number in a bubble that's the number of interested teams- click the drop down under "select a team to trade with" and the interested teams will be at the top. After that you have to work the pieces to get it to play along.

 

This is my first post-Watson trade mock. I gave Houston #6, and next year's 1 and 2 (and probably 2024's 1 and 2) in exchange for a rapist who hates Charlotte and a 4th round pick this year.




Tom keeps coming up as a value pick in the 4th round. He's probably a solid, pass blocking LG in the NFL, but you could theoretically let him and Christiansen battle for LT duties and kick the loser inside. The line starts to have a finesse side/power side feel, which is fine I guess.


Ford is CMC insurance, since I think Hubbard is trash. I don't know if the speed translates against NFL defenses, but I feel comfortable with him as the modern workhorse who can play all three downs.


Smith is violent DE who can push YGM on the strong side, and maybe spell Burns on run downs. I'm starting to have a draft crush on Carson Wells. He's always around the ball at Colorado and I've seen him line up on the ball and stacked. PFF doesn't like me picking him in the top 200, but I'll do whatever the fuck I feel like.


Heiligh sounds like a poor man's JuJu, aka Jericho Cotchery, but you'll need bodies at WR if Robby is traded. He's not flashy but with limited picks I'd take him over Christian Watson's brick hands.



King is drafted as a Joe Webb, 3rd string of all positions type. I'd even fuck around with him and nickelback. If you can save a roster spot and multiple positions, cool.

 

After the trades this became a lazy BPA draft. I think it would be a good one though.


Chenal doesn't have the same make-up between the ears, but physically he has a good pro comp:

 

Yes plz

 

My 2nd post-apocalyptic mock





Doubs is a deep threat that Carolina needs, since I consider Moore a YAC guy and Marshall a smaller TE. Watson has more things in common with Roethlisberger than just off the field affairs - he likes to hold the ball and go deep, so the Panthers will need a WR who can separate down the field.


Farrell isn't bad as far as 4th round picks go. He doesn't have the flashy upside of Jordan Davis, but he'll fill the DaQuan Jones role nicely. I'd still like to see him drop some body fat at the next level, but I'm hoping he allows the coaching staff to free up Derrick Brown as a pass rusher.


Waletzko is the opposite of Christiansen. He has massive arms (36), but very raw as a player and wasn't even great against small school DEs, so I'm really banking on Campen to work some magic here.


Sanborn is LB who you don't really want starting, but you're fine with him playing run downs. With Reddick gone and Burns potentially traded, you might see Snow go to more of a traditional 4-3, so adding depth at linebacker becomes important.


Wattenberg is interior depth. At this point, you're not drafting starters, but hopefully he kicks Sam Tecklenberg off scholarship.



Wright is a very undersized DT (6-0 285) but predictably plays like his hair is on fire. He also carried the ball situationally, so I actually want to see it he can be a two-way player who dabbles at fullback.

 

With Watson going to CLE, is Malik Willis going to be the #6 pick?

 

I'd still lean veteran until we see how trades/FA shake out Rhule is coaching for his job so I'm guessing he leans signing over drafting.
