Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey there everybody, welcome on into a mock draft Monday here at Locked On Patriots. Mark Schofield back into the big chair for today, Monday, April 1st, 2019. Look, I thought about going a whole April Fool's Day route and coming on and basically telling you that, oh, Tom Brady had retired or I was done doing this show or Brett Rippon has decided to graduate transfer or something crazy, but I won't do that. At least I don't think I will. Maybe by the end of this show, I'll change my mind and decide that,
Starting point is 00:00:43 look, I've got to drop a joke on the gentle listeners. Well, we'll see. We'll play it by ear. But it is a mock draft Monday. What we're going to do today, it's going to be a little different than the past ones. I'm going to have my mock for you, the most recent one that I have done over on FanSpeak in segment one. Segments two and three are your mocks. I got a bunch of mocks in from the fantastic listeners to the show. And so I'm going to go through them, highlight some stuff that I liked. I'm not going to really like grade them or crush some people, but I do want to highlight the work that you all did because it's, it's again, it's your show and I'm happy to have you all aboard. Before we dive in though, a reminder to follow
Starting point is 00:01:19 me on Twitter at Mark Schofield. Check out the work at places like InsideThePylon.com, Pro Football Weekly, The Score, Matt Waldman's Rookie Scouting Portfolio, a venerable trio of SB Nation websites, Big Blue View, Bleeding Green Nation, where I co-host the QB Scope Show, and of course, Pat's Pulpit. Let's dive into the mock now. And at first I thought we were going to have to go in a different direction, but in this fan speak mock, we were lucky enough to get on pick 32, the guy that many people consider to be tight end one in this class. This was a fan speak mock. Did it use Matt Miller's most recent board user voted team needs difficult set in who did we get at 32 TJ Hawkinson so pretty excited to go out the gate and
Starting point is 00:02:11 get the guy that people consider to be the top tight end in this draft class to get him at 32 obviously that would fill a need so excited out of the gate I'm not doing any trades in this one I know we did trades in the last one we're gonna go no trades this time. Now, when it came around to that next pick, that pick at 56 in the second round, there were a couple of different directions I could have gone, could have addressed it perhaps edge, could have addressed it perhaps offensive tackle. I rolled the dice a bit.
Starting point is 00:02:41 There was a safety that I wanted, Juan Thornhill from Virginia. So even with some other names there, that's the route I went. Now the Patriots, again, they get back on the clock pretty quickly here. And there was a player staring me at the face at the 61 spot, I'm assuming at the 64 spot, 61 overall on Matt Miller's board. That's wide receiver Kelvin Harmon from NC State. So out of the gate, those first three picks, I'm pretty happy. You get the guy that's tight end one. You get the good safety before that safety board starts to peter out a bit. We've talked about that on the show here. And then you get Kelvin Harmon, the wide receiver out of NC State. Now we get to go in a couple of different directions here. We're on the
Starting point is 00:03:25 clock again at 73. There are a number of different directions I could go. Interestingly enough, Darnell Savage, the safety from Maryland, as well as Amarni Hooker, the safety from Iowa, they're still here. So if New England passes on safety at, say, you know, one of those two picks in the second, they could come back and get a good guy in the third. Now I want to address defense. And there are some edges here. Jason Winovich, Christian Miller, Joe Jackson, that Matt Miller has ranked highly.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I still keep coming back to Charles O'Menahoo. I think the Patriots are going to love his length and getting him here in the third round. I'm a big fan of that kind of selection at this spot. Now back on the clock again here. We are at pick 97 for the New England Patriots. And I don't want to leave this area of the draft, I think, without addressing the offensive tackle position. I do think that's somewhat of a position of need right now.
Starting point is 00:04:22 So we're going to take Bobby Evans, the offensive tackle from Oklahoma, to make sure that sort of gives us at least a guy in the mix. But we've got another third-round pick here, and we've got a number of options available to us. This would be an interesting spot to see the Patriots maybe double-dip at a position. You might think tight end. There are some guys that I'm still intrigued by. But there's another wide receiver here,
Starting point is 00:04:43 and if they do double-d dip on this wide receiver position, if Andy Isabella is on the board at the end of the third round, I think that might make some sense. That's the case here. So he's going to be the pick. And so that gets us through into the day three picks. So if we come out, at least from where I sit, of days one and two of the draft with T.J. Hawkinson, Juan Thornhill,
Starting point is 00:05:06 Kelvin Harmon, Charles O'Menahoo, Bobby Evans, and Andy Isabella, I'd be pretty excited with that little haul. Now we're on the clock here in the fourth round. It's pick 134 in this fan speak mock. We're going to double dip again. This is where, as you get into day three, at least on some of these simulations,
Starting point is 00:05:25 the tight end position does thin out a little bit. Now, you will see guys like Dax Raymond, for example, on Matt Miller's board. He's ranked 280. A guy like, for example, Josh Oliver that's gotten some recent buzz from San Jose State, he's on the board at 207. So we could push the needle a bit. But if this player is still here at the start of day three, they better turn in that card darn quick.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And that's Jay Sternberger from Texas A&M, who the Patriots are going to visit with. So he's going to be the pick here. Very excited about that selection. Now, unfortunately, this gets to be a little bit of white knuckle time here in these mock drafts, and I've mentioned this before. We get in that situation where you go from that pick in the in the fourth round to the pick in the sixth round it wouldn't surprise me to see the Patriots get into the fifth round somehow because this is a big gap because we have not addressed quarterback
Starting point is 00:06:14 we have not addressed defensive line the one defensive lineman I was eyeing clean Saunders from Western Illinois he comes off the board in the fifth round. And so we're coming into the sixth round. We've got a number of picks left, but those two positions, quarterback and defensive line, we have not addressed yet. And so that is a concern. Now, thankfully, if you've been along the ride for a bunch of these, you know, Brett Rippin's probably going to be available. Ryan Finley, he is already off the board, but Brett Rippin is probably going to be available. Ryan Finley, he is already off the board, but Brett Rippon is probably going to be available. He's probably the last quarterback, and he just came off the board. So the Colts at 199.
Starting point is 00:06:53 So that leaves us without addressing the quarterback position, which kind of hurts. Not going to lie. It stings a bit. So there's a quarterback that, while I wouldn't be overjoyed if he was the guy to be the successor to Brady, at least right now, I could see it working. Still, I'd rather get one of the other guys. So we're going to look away from quarterback for a bit. We're going to come back to some of the other positions and look at what's available right now. I'm going to look at probably addressing the linebacker position i know it's
Starting point is 00:07:28 outside of the box but might need to get a guy in dakota allen from texas tech that's the route we're going to go here so that's going to be the pick here at the start of the sixth round now we're going to get into in a moment the seventh round to close this out we get a number of picks in the seventh round one of them is going to be a, in a moment, the seventh round to close this out. We get a number of picks in the seventh round. One of them is going to be a quarterback. One of them is probably going to have to be a defensive lineman because we haven't addressed those positions yet. And so now Patriots back on the clock here.
Starting point is 00:07:56 And the position we're going to look at, I think, given how this has fallen, is defensive line. And the pickings are thin here. The pickings are thin. I won't lie to you, ladies and gentlemen, but Brian Cowart from the University of Maryland is on the board, so that will be the selection here. This is that pick at 239.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Patriots back on the clock again. I'll address the quarterback position here. Easton Stick, North Dakota State. Welcome to the New England Patriots. You are not Brett Rippon. This is true, but that's the way we're going to go. Then we're going to go, we've got one need left, it's the running back position. But a Leezy Mack, if the Patriots triple dip at a position, it might be tight end.
Starting point is 00:08:36 So we'll welcome a Leezy Mack into the fold. Yeah, it's an outside of the box type of selection, but hey, who knows? Patriots have done crazier things. And finally, the last pick here in this mock, we're going to go the running back spot. We'll add Wes Hills from Slippery Rock because why not? So that will do it. That's my mock here for this mock draft Monday. It didn't go the way I would have liked.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Interestingly enough, this is not the first time, probably won't be the last time that we do a mock with Matt Miller's board. And each time it seems that Rippon sort of comes off in the board in that sixth round. It's why in a recent Fanspeak mock I traded up into the sixth to make sure we get him because it does seem like even in a lot of these simulators, he's coming off the board in the sixth round. But this class, T.J. Hawkinson, Juan Thornhill, Calvin Harmon, Charles Omenahu, Bobby Evans, Andy Isabella, Jay Sternberger, Dakota Allen, the linebacker, Brian Cowart, defensive line, Easton Stick, Alizi Mack, the tight end, and Wes Hills from Slippery Rock but that's me what about all of you
Starting point is 00:09:40 your mocks up ahead on this mock draft Monday. Mark Schofield back, up ahead on this Mock Draft Monday. Mark Schofield back with you now on this Mock Draft Monday here at the Locked On Patriots podcast. And we've heard from me. Now it's time for you. Going to have some of your mocks here. We're going to start with Isaac Gogel, at X-X-I-S-A-A-C-G-O-G-E-L-X-X. All you old Twitter machine, give Isaac a follow. His mark. Tight end T.G. Hawkinson at 32.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Safety Taylor Rapp at 56. Offensive tackle Michael Dieter at 64. Wide receiver Andy Isabella at 73. Edge Max Crosby at 97 spot. Tristan Hill, interior defensive lineman at 101. Kaden Smith, that tight end double dip at 134. Ryan Finley at 205. Bryce Love, the running back from Stanford at 239. Cornerback Jimmy Moreland at 243. Offensive tackle Ryan Pope, 246. And LJ Scott out of Michigan State, the other running back, at 252. A couple of things I really like about
Starting point is 00:10:44 this mock. Obviously, I'll go to the quarterback first. I think Ryan Finley is also a great fit, so that makes a ton of sense. Totally understand that selection. Hawkinson, getting him at 32 would be fantastic. Isabella at 73 I think is a nice little pick. Max Crosby, the edge. He's getting some buzz here, the edge from Eastern Michigan. He's getting some buzz in this sort of late draft process. So I really like that. Double Dippin' at running back is interesting, but I like both of those guys. Bryce Love and LJ Scott. Kaden Smith, I think it's a schematic fit. So there's a lot to really like about this. And you get the safety Taylor Rapp at the start of the second round or mid of the second round. And so I like that. Fantastic job, Isaac. Love the mock here.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Again, give Isaac a follow. Next, we've got Joe Curry. Joe is on Twitter at Joe, J-O-E, in the Altima. Hey, if that's a Nissan Altima reference, as a fellow aficionado of the Altima used to have one before we traded in a couple of years ago. Love the Altima. So if that is a Nissan reference, love it, Joe.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Again, give Joe a follow on Twitter, add Joe in the Ultima. Like this mock here. You've got Hakeem Butler at 32. If they do address wide receiver early, I think Butler makes some sense. And then he gets Irv Smith Jr. at the 56 spot. So you get in those positions locked down.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Amani Hooker, the safety from Iowa, that's a very nice pick at 64. 73, you get Terry McLaurin, the wide receiver from Ohio State. And then at 97, Khalil Warren, the tight end from San Diego State. So there you go. Four of your first five picks, two tight ends, two wide receivers. I think you get that figured out. I like that. Daylon Mack, interior defensive lineman at 101. Chuma Adoga, the offensive tackle at 134. Then Mitch Hyatt, another offensive tackle at 235. That's not a bad idea in terms of double dipping an offensive tackle. If they do make a bulk of these picks, you know, say a majority of the 12 or so, not a bad idea to make sure you get a couple of options at offensive tackle.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Then a double dip at edge, Austin Bryant and then Jonathan Ledbetter. Two interesting picks in the seventh round, Trey Lamar, linebacker at.246. And then Tony Pollard, a running back, at.252. Obviously, look, as a quarterback guy, I'm going to say there's no QB here. But if the Patriots are confident enough in the trio they have, obviously they're confident in Brady, and then Brian Hoyer and Danny Etlin to hold it down, those two guys, if, God forbid, something happens, and they're willing to punt
Starting point is 00:13:09 it to the next year. This is a very nice haul. So, the non-QB route, very intriguing job. Well done, Joe. Again, give Joe a follow at Joe and the Ultima on the Twitter machine. Next, we got Haitham Winterbottom on Twitter at Haitham, H-A-I-T-H-A-M underscore Winters. He says, this is a bit of an unrealistic mock, but I kind of dig where he's going. And we see some overlap with some later round players with some of the earlier mocks that we had. So I like seeing that.
Starting point is 00:13:37 32, TJ Hawkinson. Shape it up to be one of those, if he's there, get him type mocks for Patriots fans this year. 56, Charles Amenahu, the defensive lineman slash edge from Texas. Like that. Irv Smith at 64. That's a really nice 1-2-3 punch right there.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I really like that job right there, Hutham. Amani Hooker, the safety at 73 from Iowa. And again, another name being connected to the New England Patriots. Mecole Hardman. Interesting to see that wide receiver linked here, but I think it's a very nice pick. One of the more sort of underrated type wide receivers, not linked to the Patriots a ton, but does make some sense.
Starting point is 00:14:13 At 101, Joe Giles Harris, linebacker. Like that selection. At 134, this is a new one, but I like it. Jared Stidham. I think if he's there, he's a guy that I think the Patriots might like schematically. Again, showed some rough moments on tape at Auburn the past two seasons, but scout the traits, not the scheme.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I think the traits are there, so I do like that. Bryce Love at 205. And seeing him again, the running back from Stanford. Jalen Hurd, running back at Tennessee, wide receiver at Baylor. He's getting some sort of late draft buzz here at the wide receiver spot. He had him at 239. Sharif Miller on edge at Baylor. He's getting some sort of late draft buzz here at the wide receiver spot. He had him at 239. Sharif Miller an edge at 243. Austin Bryant here in that name again, another edge at 246.
Starting point is 00:14:51 And then again, Mitch Hyatt, an offensive tackle at 252, a name already done in one of the earlier mark drafts. So very nice group of picks there, especially you pique my interest when you get a new quarterback into the mix. So again, great job, Hyatt. Thanks for sending it in follow him on Twitter at H-A-I-T-H-A-M underscore
Starting point is 00:15:09 Winters next mock comes to us from Pluto equals planet please I like that little little Neil deGrasse Tyson shout out in a sense at you know what I said on Twitter for the show a mock going through it right now and we've got Chase Winovich at 32 to the wrap,
Starting point is 00:15:29 the safety at that first pick in the second round. Riley Ridley, a name that's kind of fallen off the radar a bit, that second pick in the second round. Then Gerald Willis, defensive tackle for Miami. Again, a player I think the Patriots would really sort of like to get in, like that fit. Andy Isabella, another name you hear a lot from the Patriots, wide receiver in the third round.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Jay Sternberger, their final pick in the third round, the 37th pick in the third round. They're very interested in him, you know, taking a meeting with him. That makes some sense. Sharif Miller, the edge from Penn State, the fourth round pick in the 32nd spot in the fourth round. Hunter Renfro, there's round. Hunter Renfro. There's our first Hunter Renfro reference.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I don't think he'll be the last, so he's there. Then you've got Tristan Hill, defensive tackle from UCF here in that name again. Clayton Thorson. There we go. Seventh round pick in the 29th spot in the seventh round. Mark Fields, cornerback from Clemson. Drew Sample. Nice tight end there, getting him in the seventh round. And so, you know what I said?
Starting point is 00:16:30 That's a pretty good mock. I like it. I like double-dipping when you did the positions you did it at. I think the Thorson pick is very interesting. I don't like him personally. Something from when I studied him and evaluated him, wasn't a huge fan of him. But I could totally see this would be a situation
Starting point is 00:16:46 where the New England Patriots would like some of what he did. And so I think that makes a ton of sense. Give you know what I said a follow on Twitter at at you know what I said. Up next, one more mock in this segment. This comes to us. This was sent to me via Charles Wick on Twitter at ChuckTheProcess.
Starting point is 00:17:06 This is more of your standard mock draft format. Jerry Tillery, defensive end, defensive tackle, Notre Dame at 32. Irv Smith, tight end from Alabama at 56. Debo Samuel, wide receiver, South Carolina at 64. Jonathan Abram, safety, Mississippi State at 73. The J. Sternberger, A&M tight end at 97. Mitch Hyatt, 101. Seeing that name again, the offense attack from Clemson.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Anthony Nelson, the defensive end from Iowa at 134. Then Brett Rippin, quarterback, Boise State at 205. I love it. I'm a big fan of this one because I think you get the double dip at tight end that you like. I think Debo makes a ton of sense. And look, if you get Brett R Brett ripping into one of these mocks, I'm going to give it a shout-out. Plus, Jerry Tillery, I think, if he's there at
Starting point is 00:17:49 32, I do think that makes a ton of sense for the Patriots. And so, those are the first five I wanted to get to. I'm going to get to the next five to close out this mock draft Monday. Again, thank you all so much. Do me a favor. Give everybody a follow whose mock was dropped so far in today's show or is about to come. Show them some love.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Show them you appreciate the effort turned into a mock here for Locked On Patriots. Up next, the next five mocks on this Mock Draft Monday. Mark Schofield back with you now to close out this Mock Draft Monday here at the Locked On Patriots podcast. And let's just keep them rolling here. Our next mock comes to us from our great friend David Ackman at DAVID, A-K-M-A-N. First time running the mock this year. Still sleep deprived due to a huge fan of the pod,
Starting point is 00:18:31 little man bi-week Toby. Throwing a patented Patriots reach pick as well. Thanks again, David. Hope the little guy's doing well. Here's his mock, which he did via the draft network and their mock draft machine. Christian Wilkins, interior defensive lineman from Clemson at 32. Irv Smith, another popular pick at 56, the tight end from Alabama.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Andy Isabella at 64, the wide receiver from UMass. Jalen Ferguson, the Louisiana Tech edge at 73. Interesting pick because the change in direction drills did seem to give him some trouble on his pro day. Might have been a slick surface. Again, NCAA career leader in sacks, and so that stands for something. Tyree Jackson, there we go, at 97. Developmental but raw and talented quarterback from the University of Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Sean Davis, linebacker at 101. Stanley Morgan Jr., there we go. Wide receiver from Nebraska, 134. luca dennis safety 205 then you've got calvin calvin anderson offensive tackle 239 blaise brown cornerback at 243 jerome washington tight end at 246 and kyle phillips edge at 252 i really like that mock i know a lot of people are talking about tyree jack a bit, so I think that's a good pick there too. Next one comes to us from Jim Reynolds on the Twitter machine. He uses the mock draft machine over at the Draft Network.
Starting point is 00:19:53 A lot of people use that one. Good to see it. Those guys are doing some great work over there. Jeffrey Tillery, a 32 to the New England Patriots. Jay Sternberger from A&M, the tight end. Very popular name. Patriots at 56, 64. Deebo Samuel,
Starting point is 00:20:06 73. LJ Collier, edge from TCU at 97. Marquise Blair, the safety from Utah. Guy's getting some interesting buzz in this draft process. Connor McGovern, offensive lineman to the Patriots from Penn State at 101 at 134. Gary
Starting point is 00:20:22 Johnson, linebacker from Texas at 205. Bryce Love, running back from Stanford. Seeing his name again. Brett Rippett, there it is. Boise State at 239. Jalen Hurd, running back slash wide receiver from Baylor at 243. 246. Mitch Hyatt, offensive tackle Clemson. And then
Starting point is 00:20:38 rounding it off, 252. Khalil Hodge, linebacker from Buffalo. I think that guy sort of screams Patriot because the production is there. Maybe some of the testing and stuff isn't. But, you know, Jim, thanks for the mock there. Fantastic job. Obviously, again, the Brett Rippin pick is huge.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Next, two mocks come to us from Luis Herrera at Luis, L-U-I-S-R-H-A. He gives me two mocks, one with the current 12 picks and one considering a trade for Joshosh rosen he also says in both actually got hawkinson at 32 but seeing 90 of simulations it seems more realistic to get irv smith there or sternberger in the second round i think that's a great call by luis again please give him a follow at l-u-i-s-r-h-a the first non-trade non non-Rosenmark. Again, Hawkinson at 32. Deontay Thompson, the safety from Alabama at 56. Michael Dieter, offensive tackle, Wisconsin at 64.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I like that pick. DeAndre Walker, edge, Georgia at 73. Riley Ridley, wide receiver, Georgia at 97, going back-to-back to the Bulldogs. Joe Gallis-Harris, the Duke linebacker at 101. Daylon Mack, defensive lineman from A&M, 134. And there you go. Look, Brett Rippin, quarterback, Boise State, 205. Devon Oswo, running back from Nebraska, 239.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Sylveon Smith, cornerback from Alabama, 243. Then we got Donald Parham, tight end from Stetson, 246. And Penny Hart to round it out, 252, the wide receiver from Georgia State. Penny's per day was pretty bad. Doesn't kind of match up with what people saw down at the Mobile for the senior bowl. But if he's there in the seventh round, I'm all aboard. So I really like this Monk. I like getting Thompson.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I think he's an underrated safety. Obviously, Hawkinson in the first round is great. Brett Rippon is going to get a shot out. So Luis, fantastic job there. Now we go over to the trademark. And in this trade, picks 56 and 73. So, you've got the first, second rounder, and the first, third rounder. They go to the Cardinals for Josh Rosen in a sixth-round pick.
Starting point is 00:22:42 So, I thought that was well-constructed. T.J. Hawkinson again at 32. Then at 64, Darnell Savage. A safety from Maryland. A 97, Colleen Saunders. There you go. Interior defensive lineman from Western Illinois. Riley Ridley at 101.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Wide receiver from Georgia. Malik Carney. Edge from UNC at 134. Selvion Smith again. At least likes him some Selvion Smith. 179 from Alabama. Jahali Tavani. Ooh, that's a good name.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I liked watching this kid, the linebacker from Hawaii, play sideline to sideline. When they played against Army, they put him down on the edge. He's got some versatility to him. He's a fun player to watch. I would be all about this pick. I like that pick. Great job, Luis.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Malik Gant, safety from Marshall at 239. Penny Hart, again, 243. The wide receiver from Georgia State. Jonathan Ledbetter, the edge from Marshall at 239. Penny Hart, again, 243. The wide receiver from Georgia State. Jonathan Ledbetter, the edge from Georgia at 246. And Caleb Wilson, who's made a little bit of buzz around himself, done some good stuff in the pre-draft process here, the tight end from UCLA. And again, if you get Hawkinson in the first,
Starting point is 00:23:38 Caleb Wilson is a nice little TE2 there if you're going to double dip. So, Luis, fantastic job all around. Giving me two different mocks. You get one with a trade, one without. I love the Jelani Tavi pick. Love that pick. The linebacker from Hawaii. So again, please give Luis a follow. Two more mocks. First,
Starting point is 00:23:56 our great friend John Lemarakis at John, J-O-H-N-A L-I-M-B-E-R-A-K-I-S. He did it on a difficult setting. Matt Miller's board over at Fanspeak. 32. T.J. Hawkinson.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Very popular name for the Patriots if he's there at 32. At 56, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, the safety from Florida. At 64, Chase Winovich. The edge from Michigan. At 73, you get Charles Omena, who a double dip at edge at 64 and 73. John, I love it. You get those picks done. I really like both those guys.
Starting point is 00:24:27 At 97, Gerald Willis. John's a defense-heavy guy. You get the tight end, then you go safety, edge, edge, defensive line. Love it, John. Addressing the defensive side of the ball. If everybody's zigging, John's going to zag, a little Belichick style. 101, Terry McLaurin, wide receiver from Ohio State. At 134, Chuma Odoga, the offensive tackle, USC.
Starting point is 00:24:46 And then 205, little Ryan Finley job. Everybody likes some quarterbacks here. 205 might be the sweet spot for the quarterback in this draft. We're seeing a lot of ripping in Finley at that spot. Blake Cashman, this guy's getting some serious buzz right now. A.239, the linebacker from Minnesota. And then we get Dax Raymond at.243. Stanley Morgan at 246,
Starting point is 00:25:05 Miles Boykin at 252. John just clearing it up. Those picks in the seventh round are guys that are getting early day three buzz, and John's getting them in the seventh. I've got to say, the Patriots coming out of the draft with this draft, whew, they better be hiring our buddy John here for the next year's draft. But, John, fantastic job as always. Give John a follow again on Twitter at John, J-O-H-N-A-L-I-M-B-E-R-A-K-I-S.
Starting point is 00:25:32 And finally, closing out with a mock from Italy. I loved seeing this. Mattia Rizzo, at underscore M-A-T-T-I-A underscore R-I-Z-Z-O underscore, sending in a mock from Italy. Loved it. Here's a mock draft from Italy. I used the mock draft machine. I was pretty lucky.
Starting point is 00:25:48 The worst gap was from 102 to 135. If I could have traded 32 for a second and a fourth, I would have been able to select some good wide receivers.
