I'm your host, Brett Whitefield, and we are again joined by Christopher Wecht, finishing the three-round mock draft series for the teams drafting. the top 10. If you missed it, go back to yesterday's episode and listen to teams one through five. We broke it down pretty extensively. Today we're going to jump in. But before we do, Chris, we should probably talk about the Jetsbacker straight really briefly. What was your initial takeaway from that? I thought this was a good deal for really both teams. I mean, the Jets had to do

something. They can't seem to draft quarterbacks well, so you just go out and get a very good Hall of Fame QB and drop them into a very loaded roster. And you know, you see what you can do with it. I mean, if it doesn't work out, you're, you know, you'll be at the top of the draft again in two years and you, you know, you try again. You start over. But I'm always a fan of teams taking chances at QB in particular than just sitting on their hands and saying there's nothing we can do about it. And then I think the Packers got a pretty good deal for having basically no leverage whatsoever. Yeah. I mean, Gutenkous played this perfectly. Like, the longer this went on, the more desperate the Jets were. Right, because they want it done before the draft. Yeah, and I think he cashed in.

Like this, I don't know that this is a good trade for both teams. I think in the short term, it's good for the Jets. What if Aaron Rodgers only plays for one season? Well, I mean, yeah, I guess in that scenario, it's not great. I don't know. They haven't said much about the discussions they've had with him in terms of how long he thinks he's playing. But I would hope they've had some discussions on that you can at least get two years out of it. Yeah, if he only plays one year, then yeah, I don't see how this is, this works out for them. I mean, even if they win a Super Bowl this year, and that's it, you're just, you want to walk away from the QB that wanted for you and everything's done.

Yeah, I just don't see them winning a Super Bowl, I guess. I know, that's what I'm saying. Even in the best case scenario, how do you just walk away from the QB? Yeah, it's pretty tough. I mean, the conditional first is really the thing that just makes it too much. You know, it's like 65% snap threshold, which Rogers is going to likely hit. He hits that in just about every year he's played. So, I mean, barring something crazy, some type of catastrophic injury.

he's going to hit that and you're giving up a first next year. The swap this year was really interesting because they only move up two spots, the Packers. For those that don't know the actual details, by the way, I guess we should probably disclose that. The Packers give up Aaron Rogers. In return, they get a 20-23 second round pick, so a second-round pick this year, and then a conditional first next year if Rogers played 65% of the snaps. And then they also swapped first-round picks this year. So the Packers moved from 15 to 13.

Someone had a hilarious tweet, Chris, where they were like, this is totally going to blow up in the Packers face because the Jets are going to move back to 15. It's going to cost them Broderick Jones. And then Rogers is going to get hurt. And then the Packers won't get a first round pick. Oh, man. Well, and then it's at least a high second round pick.

Yeah. I just thought that was funny. Funny way looking at it. because it could be true. That could be the player that's getting, you know, teams are jumping around for here. So do you think the pick swap is like so that they could have just say they got two first round picks for Rogers? It almost feels that way.

The pick swap is like, it's like FU money. You know, it's like, oh yeah, by the way, we also want to swap picks in the first round. And you're like, you already feel like you've been raked over the colds. It's like a fantasy trade. Sometimes that happens. You've been negotiating so long. You finally agree to a package. and then the guy throws in a little curveball the last second.

And it's like, it seems minor compared to what you just gave up. So you're like, whatever. Yeah, whatever, man, sure. Let's do it. You know. And who is 14? I'm blank. It's the Patriots, right?

Patriots 14, yeah. So presumably Packers are trying to be in front of them. I mean. Receiver maybe. Well, yeah. So ironically, the two positions the Patriots have been tied to the most are tackle and receiver. You know, Packers need a tackle.

they need a receiver. I mean, it's kind of, there's something to this, I think, but it is what it is. All right, let's jump into the mock series, though we want to bust this out quickly, but effectively. Jumping back in with pick number six, the Detroit lines. Chris, I ran the sim, and it lined up perfectly with how we left off yesterday. So Will Anderson and Devin Witherspoon are both on the board here, just like we left off yesterday, which is kind of crazy. You'd have to run the sim

literally a hundred times, I think, to get that combo. Yeah. So, um, I think, I kind of think Will Anderson is the one player. They would take over Witherspoon at six right now. That's,

I think it has to be Witherspoon. And I don't, I don't, I think it has to be Witherspoon. Oh, sorry, Anderson. And, and I think this is not as unlikely as,

I know you said you had to ran it a ton of times. to get this. I'm the sim. I only know that because I've done it. Yeah. Yeah. It does feel like though that that's becoming more and more likely with the closer we get to Thursday. There's there's a legit pathway. If you get three QBs before the lines pick at six and then you consider facts like Seattle might be willing to look the other way with Carter and that Arizona likes Tyree Wilson more than Anderson, that's one outcome right there. Four QBs is another outcome. I kind of feel like the lines are in a boat where they either go get some quarterback that they really like or they don't. And Will Anderson falls to them because somebody else is getting the QVs that they like.

Yep. All right. So Will Anderson at pick six, pick 18. The lines have the two first round picks this year. All right. So the board fell interesting because the guy I was thinking for them, Darnel Wright, went at pick 17. Miles Murphy. Well, they wouldn't be interested if they took Anderson.

And then Joey Porter Jr. also went early. So they have Bijon at, yeah, Bichon's available, Dalton Kincaid, Collaja Cancy, Brian Branch, Deontay Banks. That's probably the cluster there. I guess you could throw in Addison or Quentin Johnston as well. I think I would lean Banks. No one, none of those corners are on the roster past 2023 after Sutton. who they signed in free agency.

Yeah, I think I would lean Bijan or Branch, actually. For what I think, if we're talking about what I think they will do, I think it would be Beijon or Branch. Do you think adding Bijan when you don't add a new QB is a mistake? Because you're going to make your team probably better for sure. You're going to. Well, if they don't go QB, then they're obviously in it with golf. so yeah but that doesn't make it the right decision oh yeah i know i'm we're just talking strictly in terms

of what they're likely to do i just think they i know for a fact that they like bejean oh yeah yeah i'm not yeah i'm just saying i'm thinking of you're your bejohn seems like a player that is going to make many teams better than they probably should be if if he lands unless he lands in like a good spot like philly or kansas city somehow or some you know buff flow. A teams that probably need to consider upgrading QB, he's going to give you like an extra win or two in the season at least. Yeah, it's hard for me to commit to that because he is a running back.

But I mean, I mean, well, the lines are in a win now season though. They're not, they're not playing for draft capital next year at all. No, they're not. But they also shouldn't be committing themselves to having to pay golf because they can't or even try to trade up, you know, like the Eagles did with Wence a few years ago, like the Chiefs did to get my homes, you know, back when that happened. All right. So do we put Hendon Hooker on the board here then?

That'd be fine with me. Lions fans would revolt. They hate Hooker. I don't know why. Well, I do know why. It's because the media is generally down on Hooker, age, ACL, scheme, blah, blah, blah. I say we go Brian Branch here. Okay.

That's adding a defensive back for that team. He's a Twelty Gardner Johnson clone. He can also play one of the safety spots. Tracy Walker coming off the ACL, I think it makes a lot of sense. Completes that secondary for this year. So, all right, pick 48 now. They went defense, defense. I think now is the time they're probably looking to go offense.

I'm seeing So we have a bunch of good receivers available I'm not even going to go through the list Because it's that Josh Downs to Michael Wilson range Every one of them is there Steve Avila guard TCU Tight end same Laporta I would probably

I would probably go Steve Avila here Really You think they're And they got a pretty solid offensive line As it is the Loporta is a guy That would be an immediate upgrade over every tight end they have. Yeah, the thing with, like, so the Leporta,

well, this sim is kind of, I don't know. Loporta, Musgrave, and Kraft are all on the board right now. So that's tough. A Vila, so their guard situation is interesting, Chris, because they have Halipote Vaitai, who basically has one year left on his deal. He took a pay cut this year, too. He's definitely not on solid ground.

Graham Glasgow's on the one year. flyer as the they like him as the um swing interior offensive lineman you can play left guard center right guard so they kind of want him in a reserve role and then jota jackson's an expiring deal and he's going to get freaking paid so i think adding a body like a high level talent body and a villa is such a culture fit man i don't know if you saw the the tc ujorgia tape we've talked about this like this is this is going to be a dan kebill guy i know they've done their homework on them too they had them in for a visit and all that so um it's tough i know that i do know they really like laporta too though so what are they is there so they pick again in seven picks

who's more likely to be there in seven picks any of the title i don't to me laporta versus musgrave versus craft is not as big of a drop off than avila to probably whoever you know whatever i think i agree i think avila is the last good offensive lineman probably available period right all right let's go go Vila. Pick 55. Leporta still there. So obvious choice. Yeah, I think so. Leporta. Probably going to go, what, wide out at 81 here? Let's see who's going to bring up. Because with the Jameson Williams suspension, you know, who knows what they, you know, he misses all his rookie, most of his rookie year. Now he's going to miss his sophomore year. Are they losing, getting annoyed with him? Who knows? But. And they were honestly probably drafting,

one without the Jameson Williams news. I think they're definitely, I mean. Marvin Jones is going to play significant snaps this year, if not. Yeah, which isn't ideal. Or Caleb Raymond. Somebody's playing a lot of snaps. So this comes down to Tink Dell, Rishie Rice, Marvin Mims, Michael Wilson, A.T. Perry, Jaden Reed.

I'm probably going to go A.T. Perry here, if I'm them. He gives you kind of what you're losing with Chark departure. Yep. And then Caliph played in Jameson's role last year. did very well in that role. So I think AT Perry kind of gives you a good starter. 6-4 wing span, ball skills,

deep threat, yada, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, I like that. Atty Perry, 81. That's it for the Lions then. In their hall, you know what we didn't look at? We didn't look at available corners. I do think there's a chance they could wait on receiver.

They did get Amon around the fourth round a couple years ago. Maybe they feel like they can do the same thing this year. So their hall was Will Anderson Jr. at Pick 6 coming back with another Alabama guy, Brian Branch at Pick 18, Steve Avila, TCU, Guard, Sam LaPorta, Iowa Tight End, and A.T. Perry, Wake Forest Rider receiver. That's a ridiculous hall, to be honest.

But I think all four of those guys are in my top 50 for all five of those guys. You give the lines a good draft. I know, I know. All right, Raiders. What's the trade-up likelihood you think for the Raiders at this point? I don't know. I feel like they're not discussed often with potentially a trade-up as potentially a QB-Nedy team. Like we've talked, you know, Titans trading up, I feel like more.

We've obviously talked lions, more, Colts moving up, even a spot. Raiders is not a team. We already picked for the Raiders. Yeah, we had them trade up, didn't we? Yeah. So now we're picking for the Cardinals here. Raiders traded up for Stroud. No, no, no.

We did the Cardinals draft. We did? Yeah, we just had them trade down. Okay. Yeah. All right, so now we're picking for the Raiders. At three, though, they came up for Stroud, right? That sounds right, yep.

Or no, it was Richardson. It was Richardson. It was Richardson. Yeah. So Anthony Richardson to the Rattorsetton. Raiders at third overall. So I'm just going to randomly select the player here to get the SIM trucking. All right, at pick 38 now, the board fell interesting.

So Anedukee Uzoma seems to be there every second round pick. I'm not sure why what's going on in PFF SIM that makes that happen. But Jamir Gibbs is there. We've already mocked him somewhere. Darnell, Washington, tight end, Georgia. They do have a hole there at tight end. Yes. Josh Downs, Jack Campbell,

Tyreek Stevenson, Tank Dell, DJ Turner. They need corner, they need edge. They actually honestly need a little bit of everything. Yeah, they need a little bit of everything. Darnow Washington does sound like a Josh McDaniels Patriots player. Heck yeah, he does. But I... I'm cool with it.

All right, let's do it. Darnow, Washington. He'll help that run game a ton as well. All right, pick 70. Some good corners available. Clark Phillips, the third, who I think actually fits the Patriots scheme quite a bit. And I know this isn't the actual Patriots, but it is the Patriots West. Trevious, Hodges Tomlinson, Darius Rush, other corners available.

You've got Antonio Johnson, safety from Texas A&M. I do think he's a very good prospect. Oh, they did sign what, Marcus Epps? Yeah, but that shouldn't prohibit them from drafting a safety. I think this has got to be corner. Corner. Let's go Clark Phillips then. Yeah.

All right, Clark Phillips, Utah. He can play a lot of man. He also does okay in zone as well. All right, pick 100. What do you think in here? There's still Jordan Battle, safety from Alabama, who's more of that box safety, similar to Epps. Anthony Johnson Jr., safety from Iowa State.

Kobe Turner, tackle from Wake Forest. You think they double-tap corner potentially? I mean, they're projected starting corners, or Duke Shelley and Nate Hobbs. They've got... Well, they brought in David Long, Jr., correct? Yes, I was just going to say they... I mean, he's not like a needle mover, but...

Right. They could double-tap corner. Their secondary has just been such... a problem. I'd be fine with going safety too. They don't really, I mean, yeah, EPS is going to be one starter, but Trevon, what's his name? Trayvon Morig. Yeah, Morig is not a great other safety. I loved him so much coming out. I'm hoping he turns it around here. He's still young. He's like 23. Yeah, I think they can get by. I mean, Chandler Jones and Max Crosby is probably one of the better edge duos in the league. It is. It's just expensive and aging. Yes. It's

as uh jones goes but um yeah let's so corey trice is here Purdue corner really like him travis travis hodges tomlinson is here which i feel like we've mocked him already yeah we're what seems like we're always in this range when we're looking at yeah it's a deep draft for for corner in the spot jalen jones i feel like it's a little bit of a reach but i don't know maybe jordan battle is the pick. Yeah. I kind of like it the more I think about it.

Yeah. All right. Jordan Battle Safety Alabama. So Raiders, this is a good haul. I mean, QB of the Future in Anthony Richardson, tight end, Darnell Washington from Georgia, and then they go defensive back, defensive back,

and Clark Phillips and Jordan Battle. You happy with that one? Yep. All right. Falcons at 8. So I feel like they're definitely. a trade back candidate, especially with Eagles. Seems like the Eagles and the Bears like similar players.

I've heard. Did we send Carter anywhere yet? Do you remember? Yeah, he went to Seattle at five. That's the only player I see the Eagles swapping with the Falcons here. You know, I'm not going to name sources, but I've heard from people that they really like Darnell Wright. And they want to get out of Chicago for Dahl.

aren't all right. Interesting. And I know the Falcons like Nolan Smith, they can probably get them at 10 if the Eagles are moving up for. Yeah. We don't have to force a trade though. We can just. Well, Nolan Smith is who I think I would, I like giving the Falcons here.

I feel like that's what they're leaning towards. I think he can. Let's just do that then. We'll just mock it straight up. Yeah. Nolan Smith at pick eight. I like that. I think that's a good fit for them.

Pick 44. the same pool of guys that we get every time. The only Jack Campbell is here, linebacker from Iowa. You think they consider that because they kind of need... They're actually a really thin at linebacker. Like you're not lying, like super thin. Caden Ellis and Troy Anderson. Anderson was a second round pick last year,

so maybe they view him as a good player. Michael Walker is more of like a special teams guy. Nate Landman. I don't even know who Nate Landman is. I'm not going to lie to you. They definitely need line. Yeah, I like going linebacker. If they're going to stick with this, Desmond Ritters are QB.

We're not, and in this simulation, not adding really any offensive early firepower. Like, they got to be prepared to win some games with their defense. Yeah. Agreed. They brought in some free agent receivers to Scott, Scott Miller and Mack Hollins. Needle movers, no, but perhaps they did that so they don't have to. to force receiver here because there's really not a guy. Those feel like Zakaeus departure replacements for me.

Those guys. I mean, maybe Mac Collins is slightly better, but like. Who's going to play in the slot, though? Like, Scotty Miller's not really a slot guy. Speed outside guy. Makes you wonder if they'd consider Josh Downs here. That's not a bad option. They really don't have a good slot receiver on their roster.

Like, not even the depth. guys are they should be able to get eral hodge i guess hodge is big he's like 6-4 22 yeah i'm trying to remember who they what they did last year i guess it was all zakias i mean they're gonna play a lot of 12 personnel with pits and janu so oh yeah there you go johnny plays in the slot or pits whatever one all right should we go jack campbell here then yeah linebacker jack campbell

iowa they'll be able to find a slot yeah so tank dell is still available here i think that's perfect for what they need Yeah, I would agree with that. He's, yeah, Fitz really, you know, Drake London and Kyle Pitts are bigger guys. Yep. He gives them some speed and some quickness. Obviously. All right, Tank Dell at 75.

That was easy. Only three picks makes it easy. So their hall was Georgia edge defender Nolan Smith, Iowa linebacker, Jack Campbell, and wide receiver from Houston, Tank Dell. They've thrown a ton of resources. if this scenario plays out a ton of resources on defense Calleus Campbell

David Anya meta Bud Dupree Jesse Bates Jeff Wakuda They got a They You know even in free agency I think we were saying it

We're like what do the Falcons think that they are a lot better Than everybody else seems to think they are Because they were you know Adding Jesse Bates You know putting in Clayus Campbell Kind of win now pieces that For a team that is Desmond Ritter

as they're starting quarterback. Well, that's why the Ritter, this is year three for this regime. They like, they got to start progressing at something, you know, so yeah, they're definitely.

They're heading straight towards QB purgatory territory. Yeah. All right, Chicago at Pick 9, you know, the debate from here is probably going to be like, do they go Skoronski or do we trust reports

that they like Darnell Wright? I've heard that they also like Lucas Van Ness quite a bit. If they took Van Ness in the time, top 10, I would probably throw myself off a bridge. Van Ness is the guy that keeps, because he gets mocked to the Eagles a lot. He is, he is the most talked about top 10 player. I just don't, I just don't understand it. I just don't.

I don't understand it either. I don't see it. I don't get the hype. He's been. It's got to be a traits thing, right? Like he's got all the tools and just raw and didn't play a lot. He does. That's the sad part.

He started zero games for Iowa, by the way. I know. Well, I heard that was a senior, like there's a senior ahead of him in Iowa. Yeah, that's called a heavy dose of copium. Yeah. Like, oh, seniors don't play at Iowa or only seniors play at Iowa. Well, that's not necessarily true. You don't have to tell me. I don't think it's a dumb excuse, too. I'm just pointing. It's not like, you know, this guy was a freshman. I know, exactly. And if he's a top 10 talent, you're going to, you're telling me you're not keeping a top 10 talent off the field because Especially when Iowa's getting their ass kicked all season

long. All right. So what do you feel in here? Skoronsky, Van Ness, or Darnell Wright? I feel like I want it to be Skoronsky because he there's just so little chance it doesn't work out for him, whether it's a guard or tackle. But I'm,

I feel pretty strongly at this point that he teams view him more as a guard and he's not going to go in the top 10. I will say the bears are so death. though, that it might not matter. They're, I mean, they're the only team that I think it has a chance of taking him at this point, in the top ten anyway. All right, we got to make a call. I'm torn.

Let me think. Let's go, let's go Skronsky. All right. Skoronsky, and then you want to go right? Oh, sorry, hold on. We still have to finish the Bears mock. They have three second round picks. How did they get the third one?

One of them is from Carolina. But they traded theirs to Steelers. Baltimore, okay, Brocon Smith, and then 64 is actually a third round pick, not the second round pick. Yeah, yeah, that's right. All right, so 53, 61, 64. I mean, we can do just about it. They still have holes literally everywhere on their team.

Yeah, I want to get them a weapon, another receiver at some point here. but what about Zach Charbonnet here? Pick 53. Is that too early? I don't think it's too early. No, I'm fine. I think that's... They're a run-heavy team.

He fits well with Fields too. She fits very well. Like, we saw Charbonnet and Dorian Thompson, who's very similar to Fields in UCLA, you know, have that really good read-option run game. Yep. Kaleel Herbert, it doesn't seem like they love him for whatever reason, even though he's efficiency metrics are insane.

Yep. He actually added Travis Homer and Deontay Foreman. I mean, that's a lot of guys that have had playing time. Oh, maybe. I forgot about Foreman, dude, dang it. Maybe not Charbonnet then. You think they believe in Foreman that much? No, but I think the combo of Foreman,

Forman Herbert and Homer, it kind of fills all your roles. Oh, yeah, you can definitely get by, but. Oh, what do you think? What about? another option would be DJ Turner, corner from Michigan. Yeah, let's do that. I think they can, they could add a Tank Bigsbee or something later.

Yeah. If we really want to give them a running back. All right, pick 61. You have Cedric Tillman, Marvin Mims, Rashi Rice, John Mingo. That's late for Mingo. It is late for Mingo. I think he'll probably go earlier. but Tyler Scott, we haven't mocked him yet.

All those guys would be disgusted. Mingo or Scott would probably be my vote here. Yeah, I feel like both of them aren't going to be at this pick, but yes. Yeah, it's one of those things where one of these receivers is going to fall. In most of the Sims I've seen, it's going to be A.T. Perry that's going to be there in the late second. But I'm trying to think DJ Moore and Mingo have some overlap. I would go. Mooney's going to play in the slot.

Yeah, and you got Claypool doing Chase Claypool things. They don't have anyone close to Tyler Scott's speed on the team. Tyler Scott, it is. Boom. All right, pick 64 to round out the hall. So they've gone offensive line, corner, and receiver. I'm trying to think if there's any good delinement available. Derek Hall's here.

I don't know why, but Edge from Auburn. He's very good. Yeah Yeah, I like adding to the defense here, whatever Siaki Ika's here too Big nose tackle They play They wouldn't really use a nose tackle

Super strongly though, would they? Yeah, yeah Ica can play in an even or an odd front It doesn't matter He's going to play one or zero technique though Let's give them some edge firepower They don't have Okay, let's go Derek Hall.

Boom. I guess pick 64 is not that late for Derek Hall. I was thinking round three, but it's really not. It's basically round two. Yeah. All right, so to recap their hall, pick nine, they went Peter Skoronsky, tackle from Northwestern or guard, however you look at him. 53, they went cornerback from Michigan, DJ Turner.

Pick 61, they went Tyler Scott, wide receiver Cincinnati. That might be my favorite pick of all the mocks who done so far, by the way. and then pick 64 they went edge derrick hall i love i like we've we saw field success with olive um Tyler scott's a similar player to alave

but he's probably even faster more track speed so i i think that's a great fit yeah he should unlock stuff for mooney underneath DJ more to do his thing then you got commit and claypool is kind of your bigger guys. Yeah. Yeah, Claypool's like a deep threat, but he's like a contested catch deep threat.

And when you have an inaccurate quarterback, that just doesn't work, as we've talked about. More is capable of winning deep as well, but it's just not like not really his game. You want him short intermediate and getting him yards after the catch opportunities. So I think you're right. Scott is a math changer for them. Does this end Vilas Jones's chances of being anything in the NFL in terms of receiver? I know he can still return months and whatnot. Yeah, probably does. Very similar, you know, speed guy.

He was just old. Well, yeah, I mean, he's probably nearing, you know, retirement phase. Dentures. He had to order some dentures this week, you know. Yeah. It's funny that we live in a space where, like, you can call a 25-year-old guy old.

He's old. He's 26 now. But when he was drafted, it was like, oh, this dude's ancient. You know, he's ancient. He's 25. all right rounding out the three round mock series we have the Philadelphia Eagles Chris you can just go ahead and do this one so so this is kind of disaster scenario for me if Carter is gone ideally they trade out of this spot especially

if none of the other tackles are off the board but that's not how they're going to look at it though they probably have a tackle or two they like yes and if you You're telling me that they definitely like darn all right. I think O-line is definitely something they're willing to add in this draft, despite it not filling, you know, an immediate need. Yeah. So you want Darnall Wright? Yeah, let's do it. I haven't really thought about this path before.

Wright can also play right guard for you guys while he, you know, waits for someone else to move on. Lane Johnson to retire or whatever. Yeah, I guess, which I don't even know if that's on the horizon. Yeah. pick 30 so on the board this is ridiculous this happened to my mock i did too Brian Branch is here

yeah it's Brian Branch then it just clicked yeah Eagles won't even they won't even have to tell the eagles they're on the clock though already be up there with the card all right Brian Branch at pick 30 so we mocked branch twice though could we even the lines too at 18 that's all right though yeah

all right pick 62 um this is rough, to say the least for you guys. Sam Leporta, Tatelle, DJ Turner, Zach Charbonnet, Antonio Johnson, Luke Weipler, Cedric Tillman, Clark Phillips,

Nick Herberg. I kind of like the corners here. I know we've given both Clark Phillips and DJ Turner to other teams, but the Darius Slay deal is still, I'm not even totally sure what it is and how long he's actually under contract for, Bradbury's locked up for a while

but both of the guys are older nonetheless and adding some more secondary depth I don't think is a bad idea unless there's a safety you really You took branch already Oh that's right yeah we took branch But there is I mean Antonio Johnson is here What about edge or D line?

It's not really let me see Nothing there Kobe Turner Siakaika Moro Jomo are the interior guys. I like them. It just feels early for all three of them. Herberg, Derek Hall, Isaiah McGuire,

Carl Brooks, Byron Young, KJ. Henry. Yeah, there's nothing. Dried up quick. What about Darius Rush, corner from South Carolina? He's long, he's fast,

he can play off-zone coverage, he can play press man, doesn't matter. He actually, my comp for him is James Bradbury. So he fits the type that they like. Yeah, that's fine with me. Daredious Rush. All right.

Pick 94. So Kobe Turner is there, defensive tackle. He's a three tech. So if you're looking to replace Hargraves production, I think, you know, it's a potential for that. He's obviously not that level of prospect, but... I'd be shocked if the Eagles don't add a defensive lineman

and somewhere in the top three rounds. So Ojomo is available, the Texas defensive tackle. He's also more of a three technique. He's only 21 years old. Kobe Turner is still there. Let me see what about edge. Carl Brooks is there. He's an interesting guy from Bowling Green.

It's a 300-pound edge guy. Probably plays interior at the NFL level. Isaiah McGuire, actually. It's a guy a lot of people like. Well, I kind of like the Carl Brooks one. The Eagles like guys that can play more than one position. And if he's, you know,

like they love the line Brandon Graham up inside on passing obvious passing downs and then get an extra like speed rusher, more fast guy on the field. I could see that being something they like to do with him as Graham retires eventually. All right. To recap, the Eagles at Pick 10.

and selected Darnell Wright tackle from Tennessee. At pick 30, they went defensive back, Brian Branch from Alabama. At pick 62, they went corner, Darius Rush from South Carolina, and pick 94. They went edge slash detackle, Carl Brooks from Bowling Green. Not too shabby for the Eagles. So out of all the team, if you can recall what we did yesterday, Chris, what do you think your favorite pick of the Sims were?

Brian Branch at 30 to the Eagles. Well, yes, because the value is absurd. But we cheated with that one because we gave him to the lines at 18 in a previous sim. So he should not have been there, Chris. We weren't keeping good track of this. I'm saying it still could happen. Other than that, I'm trying to remember some of the ones we did yesterday. We should have done this favorite pick of the day, not.

Okay, do you favorite pick of the day then. One thing I find interesting, we didn't mock Bijon anywhere. We really didn't mock running backs in general. We did Gibbs, I think. Well, to be fair, if we're doing the first three rounds, you're really only picking between Bijon in the first, Gibbs in the late first, early second, Charbonnet in the late second, early third,

and then the rest are kind of just up in the air. And we're doing the top 10 picks, so a lot of them don't have late third round picks. Yeah, true. I think my favorite pick was Tyler Scott to the Bears. I'm standing on that. Yeah, I like that one. Didn't we mock Gibbs somewhere yesterday? Yeah, we did.

Was it Arizona? It was. I do like that pick. I think he compliments what James Connor does for them in a big way. and they just they need explosive playmakers on that team like none of the none of the guy marquise brown hasn't quite lived up to it the rondale more certainly hasn't either and whatever else they have it receiver is nothing special well assuming hopkins is gone right yeah i think that's fair uh i like gibbs i like that pick because the the cardinals are definitely

going to do something dumb just what they do so at least if they're going to do something dumb draft a good player, like a really good player, just probably not out of a position they should prioritize. Oh, yeah, I definitely would agree with that. It's probably not the best long-term option, but I do like the fit a lot. All right on. That's going to do it. I will be back tomorrow with hopefully a special guest.

And then it's on, it's on to the draft at that point. And there's going to be so much draft coverage. Obviously at fantasy points.com, you can find the prospect guide, which we're still. updating still going to be some some profiles thrown in i'll probably even continue writing some up after the draft just to make sure we get some in there for guys that are interesting and then let's see my top 150 is on the site as well so if you just want to get a quick glimpse at the top 150 um that is easy to do you can find the uh my predictive mock will be out tomorrow um probably tomorrow evening. That will be

my last mock of the series. It'll actually be what I think will happen, not what I want to happen or what I would do. Anything else I'm missing? Oh, the live stream. Jeez. Day one and day two live stream coverage from Fantasy Points. It's going to be me and Scott, mostly

with rotating guests. Chris will be on both nights for sure. Joe Dolan will be on. John Hanson's going to make appearances. Graham Barfield will be on. It's going to be a fun night. Producer Thomas, I'm sure we'll be there to annoy Scott too, so that's always going to be fun. All right, guys, that's going to do it.
