Starting point is 00:00:03 Hello and welcome to move online, presented by 4-4-4 bets and Sharpstack. Check out the new Sharpstack 2.0 if you've not already done so. Ryan Union joined here as always by my friends, Connor Allen, Scott Smith, for a little mock draft mock betting discussions. Connor, what's going on with you? Yeah, not a whole lot. I'm midweek during my stint of becoming a college basketball expert. I am the number one bracketologist in the entire country right now.
Starting point is 00:00:31 No, I just, you know, people love March Madness content. It's funny because I don't know enough to make it not dumb down enough. So I dumb it down and everyone loves it. It's great. It's awesome. So, yeah, check out my threads if you're interested in that. If not, we got plenty of content here and we're going to, you know, dive into NFL draft. It'll be great.
Starting point is 00:00:51 People love the Ken Palm thread. Oh, they did. Yeah. As soon as I saw it, I was like, he's been stewing on that all day. He could not wait to get that one out as soon as we get everything ready to go. probably working on some drafts for that too. I know it is an engagement, you'll probably top tier engagement tweet of the year.
Starting point is 00:01:09 But good info, right? Like I'm joking, but it's literally, it's really, you're not alone in terms of like casuals that come in aggressively at this time of year. So good info, line calling out. It's not like,
Starting point is 00:01:23 I generally hate trend-based stuff, but it's kind of like what teams are good and good at offense and defense so that they're not going to get exposed either way. And those teams normally win. That's basically what it's saying. It's just like a complicated way to say that, basically. Scott, I'm a chalk donkey too.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I love a good chalky donk parlay. You get like minus 138 or so right now. If you want to get the top four Cs to the sweet 16, just the sweet 16. I'm happy to lay that. Someone wants a bet. Scott, what's going on with you, buddy? Nothing much, man. Parsing through all this free agency stuff, seeing where some changes in all.
Starting point is 00:01:59 And look, hey, the MM. Discord, our MMA product at 4-4 coming off 20-unit profit for last UFC event. Absolutely love to see it. Yeah, Scott's been working on some stuff on the back end, some modeling things that are having some just real, real exciting success. Definitely check that out for four subs and get all of his pre-flop UFC stuff in our Discord before any of those events. and obviously at Scott Smith FF on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:02:32 We're going to kind of run through what Scott's talking about. Actually, these two are going to take turns. Scott on the odds, Connor on the Evens. We're going to run through a mock draft today. I'm going to kind of tee it up a little bit, kind of discuss some of the highest current team needs, some of the things that teams have done in free agency, see how that's shape some stuff and go from there.
Starting point is 00:02:55 So Scott won't waste any more time. you're on the clock. I don't need to kind of, you know, Raiders were really busy in free agency. We still have a crap ton of means. I don't think it matters in terms of what they're doing at the 101 here. So pick is yours here with the Raiders, Scott. What do you got? Yeah, I'm going to throw a curveball and go, Jeremiah, I love coming off of up.
Starting point is 00:03:15 No, I mean, look, it's Fernando. It's Fernando Mendoza. Like, we don't need to spend a whole lot of time. He's the only real viable quarterback to go in this range and they need it. So talk it up. Yeah. Talk it up. We can see here over the cap, been very busy.
Starting point is 00:03:30 The Raiders have. We've still have some pending guys that they can bring back. And then obviously some of the moves that they've made to, giving Tyler Linderball in the bag, solidifying the linebacker position. But at the 101, pretty clean and easy, Fernando Mendoza there. Connor, we were talking earlier before we started. It seems to be a little bit of one of these consensus
Starting point is 00:03:50 is that makes me a little weary at this time of the year. We're a little bit out. Really haven't seen anything. thing team-wise that would make me think there's consensus per se, but we're just kind of getting a solid drumbeat with what the Jets are going to do here, too. They've also been, you know, pretty busy. Again, loaded with team needs. If you were to, you know, drill down what do the Jets need. They need a lot. They did sign to Mario Davis back against third stint with the Jets. They'd given Jamie Sherwood a big contract in linebacker a couple years ago. You know,
Starting point is 00:04:23 I've added Nashon Wright, brought Gino back in, Minka. Just a lot of moving parts here. You can still use some edge help, even though they brought in Joseph Asai. It's just not a great roster. What do you think the Jets do here, too? Yeah, I'm going to go with Arval Reese. Seems to be more of like a consensus brewing, you know, for a variety of reasons. But right now we're seeing minus 230 of draft kings.
Starting point is 00:04:45 In VR's mock sheet, 75% right now, Arval Reese among sharp mock drafters going number two. I don't think that it's quite that level percentage-wise overall. but I do think that he's starting to become, I don't know, more and more like there. So, you know, I think that Reese, last time we were doing the show, he was like minus 130, minus 150, something like that. We kind of talked about how maybe that's a good look and it's only going one way, now up to minus 230. So I'm going to go with Reese here.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It seems like the move for the Jets. I think that they could consider Bailey. I think at one point they were considering a guy maybe like Sonny Stiles or Caleb Downs, so kind of like an outside, outside shot, kind of maybe creeping up there if something happened great during the preempts. free, free-d-draft process, I think it's probably very likely
Starting point is 00:05:29 between Reese and Bailey at this point. I agree. I mean, I think off-ball linebacker at two based off of it kind of being forced, you know, they just against re-ups
Starting point is 00:05:38 with Sherwood last year. Seems like you would want one of these, you know, potential edge. And again, Reese playing a little bit, both has been pretty clear
Starting point is 00:05:46 on his desire to play off-ball at the next level. Scott, Arizona on the clock here at three. Has been active. I mean, we touched on, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:55 possibility is this being a Jeremiah Love team and then kind of made some moves in free agency at running back with Tyler Arjeer. They brought back James Connor. Doesn't seem like a great fit there either. What do you think Arizona does here at three? Yeah, I think some of the moves they made kind of, I don't want to say disqualify them from taking Jeremiah Love, but that's a full backfield. I mean, they could probably just as easily cut one of those guys if they wanted to make move for love. But I kind of put him out. Earlier in the process, we kind of looked at tackle as being a problem. Not that it's a huge signing, but Elijah Wilkinson just signed over there.
Starting point is 00:06:32 So it kind of signals that maybe they're a little bit comfortable in filling that need. And then you start to look at defense. And, you know, Bailey's the other person that is kind of in consideration here. But I'm actually going to go a different route. And I'm going to move sunny styles into this position. You start to look at the linebackers that they have. You have Cody Simon and Mack Wilson from, you know, with New England for a little bit while. that's their two middle linebackers.
Starting point is 00:06:57 So I think with Stiles and the bump that he's had up throughout the pre-draft process, I'm going to throw a little bit of a curvewall and have him as a fit here to Arizona. This was a single linebacker team under Jonathan Gannon, and obviously a new coaching staff, so that'll change. But yeah, I could see Sunny Stiles. And again, there's been some talk.
Starting point is 00:07:16 We haven't really seen it, but there's been some whispers around, again, another Jonathan Gannon guy, you know, possibly not coming back. and Josh sweat. So if we get some sweat movement, I think this would be an edge rusher, but I also don't hate the Sunny Stiles pick here at all.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Obviously, insane testing and insane tape as well. Connor, back to you at 4. For the Titans, Titans have been fairly active as well. Obviously, I have a ton of needs as a pretty bad roster. What do you think Tennessee does here at 4? It's funny because any time,
Starting point is 00:07:50 pretty much in the last couple years, a team has been like heavily favored to pick a running back. They've actually picked that guy. Like it basically always, almost always happens. Like I think there was Giants with Seekwan, the Steelers with Naji, even though they picked in like the 20s,
Starting point is 00:08:05 the Cowboys with Zeke. Like I think the Falcons with Bejohn too at one point. Like basically any time, um, that happens, it just, it almost always seems to actually happen. And right now we have the team like the Titans talked about getting a playmaker.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Um, I think they're probably, at this point going to take Jeremiah Love, kind of the, the thinking around it seems to be like teams need to move above number four to get Jeremiah Love, which, you know, again, implies that the Titans are very likely going to pick Jeremiah Love. And then also, I guess last year, another example was, you know, Gentie with the Raiders. Like, you know, I try to talk myself out of it in a million different ways, thinking that they needed to align and that there was, you know, something else going on. It was just Gentie, probably the whole time. So, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:51 I think, like, I don't want to talk about. myself out of it. I don't want to get out of this again where well they probably need this or they probably need something else. Sure, of course they do. But they're an NFL team. They need some more exciting players. They need some more playmakers. So I think Love is going to be the pick there. There's been enough of a drumbeat that the Giants are interested in that now it could be completely posturing, but the Giants knowing that he's probably interested too, right? So there's definitely some early posturing there. Back to you for the Giants here, Scott, pick five Giants, a little bit active.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Azay likely comes in. Darnell Mooney comes in. You know, they added Traymond's linebacker after, you know, letting Bobby O'Karekay go. Definitely a team that needs to fill some holes, some, you know, questions. Greg Newsom comes in a corner. The corner of linebackers and positions
Starting point is 00:09:39 that have been mocked there previously, I think still kind of needs, even though they've been addressed here in the past couple weeks. Yeah, again, I'm going to go in a little bit different direction and I'm going to go with the tackle. Francis Mugoa from Miami. I'm not necessarily sold on Elamaneur as the long-term answer there, even with them drafting here. They still have needs there at the interior offensive line that can maybe play Mugoa,
Starting point is 00:10:05 even though it's a little bit early there at the guard position if they want to run it back with Elamaneur for another season. But I think some of the – I liked Sunny Stiles there was the player that I liked. But with the Tremaine Edmund signing, I kind of think that signals a little bit of a different direction. Wide receivers may be another position, but they just signed Darnell Mooney. Isaiah likely was the other big signing that they had there offensively. And I think it's about keeping their quarterback upright and healthy at this point in time. And so we're going to go and building the trenches. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Connor, back to you. Pick six Browns, first to two on the clock. Obviously Cleveland Browns, a ton of needs. They have addressed, I guess, bringing in some starters along the offensive line. We kind of touched on offensive line, getting obviously some answers that wide receiver definitely need for for Cleveland here. Again, Zion Johnson, they gave him the bad. Elkhund Jenkins came into town, Titus Howard. So they have spent a little bit of money there bringing in some offensive alignment after that being such an issue.
Starting point is 00:11:09 But what do you think the Browns do at six? Yeah, I wonder if they go a different direction here than offensive line. I think that when we last spoke, we were talking about O-Line. Something that's kind of started to pick up a little bit of steam year would be Carnal Tate potentially to the Browns. I mean, they badly need wider receiver help. Like they're looking at, I mean, it's, it's rough. It's like what, said Tillman was there for a minute.
Starting point is 00:11:34 You know, like Jerry Judy, Isaiah Bond, like obviously they need other help. Probably three starters right now. Yeah. That's it, right? Like that's, I don't know, I'm missing anyone, am I? I mean, Malachi. Marley Thrasch, yeah, Malachi Quarley. Yeah, it's not great.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I mean, what, like, and then they have whatever rotation of quarterback that they're going to throw out there. Like, you got to at least give them a chance with some, some weapons. So, like, I think that they, they can go with, like, a playmaker-wide receiver here. And they do have another first-round pick where they could maybe get more offensive line-up, maybe get another position. Whereas, I mean, all the, we've seen receivers bump up into the mid-20s, like, or mid-teens frequently. like if all the receivers that they want are gone, they might just be better off going with Cardinal Tate.
Starting point is 00:12:18 So I'm going to go with Cardinal Tate here for the Browns. I think that that's very much in play at this point. And I don't think there's sixth overall pick odds right now. Otherwise, we'd love to see what those are because maybe I'll be able to pull up Cal Sheen. We can circle back if you want to go on to Scott here. Yeah, I think it's very much in play. I think Tate's in play at five for the Giants as well. Just a matter of, again, with a team like the Browns who have a second first round pick.
Starting point is 00:12:42 It's a matter of kind of where do they see a separation? because they'll have an option probably to pick one of the other projected, I guess first round wide receivers with their 24th pick. So just a matter of, did they see Tate as a separator there? All right, Scott, your squad, the Washington commanders on the clock.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Commanders, again, had a ton of capital to be able to spend in free agency. Not a ton of draft capital on the board, but they were very, very active. He's bringing in Nick Cross. You can see here.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I mean, they've been just came on check. chase on from the Patriots, Charles Lemanahue, I gave, you know, Advei Owey a lot of money, trying to kind of address this edge issue that they had, Ticka Kwanku coming in at tight ends, just a bunch of moves that they made here to Leo Chanel, who I really excited to see if they give him the green dot and allow him to be kind of a prototypical offball linebacker after being really efficient and minimal snaps in Kansas City, but I'm excited for that one. But commanders, what do you got?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah, I really like Cornell Tate as a fit here. It's probably the worst kept secret in the world that Brandon Ayuk wants to be in Washington to play with Jaden Daniels there at quarterback. And I think if Carnal Tate is on the board, he will be in heavy consideration. There's been reports that maybe this will be Terry McCorren's last year. And then when you start looking at Cap, it would make a lot of sense for them to be able to save some money there in 2027 and replace a guy like Terry McClureen with a young wide receiver like Carnal Tate. But look, with Tate off the board, I think even with the signings that they had, at edge, I think you look at a guy like David Bailey here at 7 as an edge, and, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:20 he goes into that pass rush rotation. When you look at Calvon-Shaisson, he's a guy that, you know, has been a little bit of a journeyman. He kind of picked up and had a good season last year, but he still does not grade out well as far as the run and a full-time player. So I think that's a rotation that you could kind of work around and maybe move Adafi-Oway inside on certain passing downs and work out a good rotation with David Bailey and the rest of the ends they have there in Washington. Yeah, you need at least three at edge. And, you know, Chase-on's really just kind of was kind of a one-year deal as well. So if you want to get a long-term answer, I don't think it precludes them from taking an edge here at all.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Connor, any luck on the six-pick odds or otherwise saints are yours. Yeah, no six-pick odds. And the saints in this position are in a really peculiar spot because right now, Now, though consensus for them right now is taking Cardinal Tate, both Scott and I, I think, Bode made a pretty compelling case that he might go at six or seven if they're interested in him because both fits team need, fits like a variety of factors there.
Starting point is 00:15:26 So then the Saints are in that spot. Another guy who's popular mocked to these Saints is Jeremiah Love, obviously long gone at this point and probably will be long gone by the time we get here. The Travis A-Chann News preclude them from getting into love even if he's available. Yeah, I mean, absolutely it does. It's going to take me a little bit to adjust to that name, I'd be honest.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I'm not calling him Travis H.N. That is just ridiculous. I mean, that is absurd. Scott, what do you think about that? I mean, this is like you're a local, so that's, you know. I think when you start to look at it, some of the defensive things that they have, you have Cam Jordan, who's been there, you know, for a long time moving on. And I think this is just a situation where you go best player available. And I think you look at a guy like Ruben Bain, who can,
Starting point is 00:16:11 move right into that Cam Jordan role. And a guy who production-wise and film-wise has everything that you ask for but might slide a little bit here just due to some arm-length issues. And I think he's a guy that could go ahead and move into that defense that actually played pretty well over the last half of last year. And I just think it's the Saints, while they need help and Carnell Tate would definitely fit the bill if he were on the board. But again, with him being off, I think the Saints roster is in a position where you just
Starting point is 00:16:40 go best player available. that's Ruben Bain. I appreciate the the celebrity there. I was mostly referring to the pronunciation of H&E.N. That would be ATN. Great analysis, though, Scott. Yeah, I love the analysis.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And so Ruben Bain has to be the selection there. So I love that. We're going to go Ruben Bain. So they had Rubin Bain. Low-key, all of a sudden, we're going to have a pretty solid pass rush in New Orleans. They haven't had really an identity
Starting point is 00:17:07 much at all in the last couple years. You had Rubin Bain, to Chase Young, who continues to be underrated. I know that he did not live up to number two pick overall type of talent. He's had a really good couple of years in New Orleans. Carl Grinerson is a dog. They added Caden Ellis, who's one of the best offball linebacking, blitzing linebackers too.
Starting point is 00:17:27 So, like, that's all of a sudden a pretty decent pass rush in New Orleans if they were to add Ruben Bain. Real quick, Connor, do you have any thoughts on like the teardrop? Because Scott's made a couple references of like, hey, the commanders would like Tate if he were there. the saints would like Tate if he were there. Where do we get into the gap between where Tate is versus where Tyson or Lemon are in terms of that secondary wide receiver?
Starting point is 00:17:51 Well, I'm still trying to figure that out because from what I see, there's not, it shouldn't be a tier drop from where the media is portraying things and where it seems like NFL teams think that Tate is like the clear number one. I don't know if I agree with that yet. And that could very well lead to like, I don't know, six, seven, eight all being wide receivers. Would that be that crazy? Maybe not. If they all like, you know, one of those guys.
Starting point is 00:18:11 or maybe it leads to Tate not even in consideration. I would be kind of surprised if a receiver is not in consideration in that range. So I don't know. I think I'm still kind of feeling that out and like assessing out, like what, if there is a tier drop or if it's like a fake tier drop, we're like, you know, like Loveland versus Warren last year. You know, like everyone initially for a long time thought Warren was clear one, clear one.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Then the gap started closing and you got close to the draft. And it was like, okay, maybe Loveland could, you know, pop Warren. And that's what happened. You know, he went 10th to Chicago. Warren went, was it 14? or 12 of the Colts, then 14. Yeah. So, yeah, that could be very similar.
Starting point is 00:18:46 At this point, I think it's Tate, but yeah, I would not be surprised if any of these other receivers kind of creeps up a little bit here. I don't think the gap between, I don't think the gap between Tate and Tyson is that big. I think what you're really looking at is, you know, there's been some rumors about some medical stuff
Starting point is 00:19:01 coming back with Tyson. When it comes to Lemon, I think he's just a different type of wide receiver as far as being more of like a slot guy that has that explosive after the catch. you have to have a specific position for Lemon to go ahead and fit within that scheme. And I just think the gap between Tyson and Tate has to do with medicals more than play. And, you know, look at the Ohio State and what they have been producing as far as wide receivers for the last like five to 10 years. And I think there's a bit of safety and lack of what you would maybe call bus potential there with Tate coming from that program.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Hard to argue with that. All right, Scott, back to you at nine, Kansas City first to two. Kenneth Walker got the bag. They also added a couple of moves defensively, which I think here's nice. Kater Koo missed most of the year last year for Miami, but it's a pretty solid nickel. They added Lohe Gilman as well at safety to replace Brian Cook
Starting point is 00:19:53 who walked to Cincinnati and Free to see Chris Tonga as well as an interior defensive lineman and then Justin Fields to back up Mahomes and get some early season starts here. But chiefs do have a decent amount of needs. What do you think they do here at 9? Yeah, I think there's a couple of positions you can go with. You know, they just made some different moves along the offensive line. So I think Monroe Freeland could be in consideration here.
Starting point is 00:20:19 But look, we saw what happened with it with their secondary, and their secondary is a huge need. So I'm going to go ahead and ride the LSU boy up top and go Mansoor Delane to go ahead and fill some of those cornerback needs that they just had with the majority of their secondary leading through free agency. Yeah, I don't think Mansour Delane slips out of the top 10. So you can make a case that, you know, I think the Saints are in play there for him, too. I think he could be, he's just going, he's going earlier than I think.
Starting point is 00:20:47 There's just been enough national drumbeat there. I believe that was a DJ thing early that just, you know, it's one of those guys that front offices seem to love more than the public so far. And I think, you know, Delane had a fantastic year at LSU. I think that makes a ton of sense. Connor, back to you for the Bengals. Bengals have been, well, pretty busy as well, making some moves. a lot of holes to fill there on the defensive side for Cincinnati, and they've been trying to, boy, Maffa, got some money there.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Brian Cook, safety. Also, Jonathan Allen from Minnesota. Obviously, they've stayed pat offensively. And you imagine that their first pick here would probably be on the defensive side as well. What do you think that the Bengals do at 10? Yeah, I mean, I think that they could go. I mean, right now the popular pick is Caleb Downs. I think that's probably still seems like the most likely.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I mean, they just need to go somewhere. on defense. I was considering Delane, if he was still there, you know, even though that's not necessarily the biggest need for them. Caleb Downs could make sense. Like they just, they need to just draft defense. Ruben Bain, if he falls, I think is very possible. It could be a selection there. So personally right now, I guess one of those three, since two or three are off the board, I'll go downs. But I think, you know, I think that makes sense. I think it does. And Brian Cook, who you play, you know, strong or free, but, you know, obviously downs can do a little bit of whatever. They have some questions in nickel.
Starting point is 00:22:07 you know, Downs could step in there. He's just kind of a Swiss Army knife and just another player that probably has no business falling outside of the top 10. So I love that one. Easy click there. Scott, back to you 11 for Miami. Very busy off season, leaving us scratching our heads often in terms of like, all right, you show a little bit of signs of being interested in being competitive this year, giving Malik Willis a bunch of money, but then you kind of let most of your talent walk.
Starting point is 00:22:35 pretty bad roster overall lots of lots of holes what does miami do at 11 just a question for you guys has miami passed the jets for having a worse roster possibly in an NFL i mean i think they're worse now yeah yeah it's rough you know over the last couple days they've had some rumors about a chain but they've kind of squashed that and said that he's not you know at this point like what do you even do a change is just going to waste away i mean you're talking about weapons uh you know So Greg Dulcic at tight-in, Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell. That's their past catchers right now on Miami. So we're going to go wide receiver route and go Jordan Tyson out of Arizona State.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I don't know what you do with this roster to so many holes, and you're not going to fill it at wide receiver any other way. You have to get Malik Willis, some type of weapon to actually throw to. So let's go with the young guy. You don't consider Jalen Tolbert a weapon? No. Yeah, it's rough. I mean, I guess you would say they have a decent front seven-ish.
Starting point is 00:23:39 The secondary is just atrocious, considering how bad it was last year and it's worse. And then the offense is pretty bad. Their offensive lines, okay. But yeah, I think it's a pretty terrible roster overall. Connor, back to you, 12 for Dallas. They have two. They pick 12. They also pick at pick 20.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Been pretty adamant. And again, Jerry does tend to show. his hand a little bit and has been pre-adimate that, like, defense will continue to be a focus. They've made some moves with Sean Gary at Edge, Jalen Thompson coming over from Arizona to fill one of the safety spots. They added Kobe Durant to play one of the corners. Still have a ton of needs on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, I'm going to go with Jermad McCoy from Tennessee corner.
Starting point is 00:24:25 I think that that ends up making the most sense here. Just like another playmaker on their defense. after the whole, you know, Micah stuff, like they just can't afford to get into 40-point shootouts every week. Like they need to just make a stop ever. Like just make a stop, force a turnover, do anything. And so where it is on the defense that they want to target, I think that can be left up to expectation or left up to, you know, perception here.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I think there's, McCoy is an interesting one here. But from the rest of the group, like, I don't know. I mean, another guy, like they could go with a defensive lineman here. It seems like there's kind of like another tier of defensive linemen, like in the late teens, early 20s of like Falk, Akeem Messador, Peter Woods, Caleb Banks are all like kind of, you know, there as well in the like mid-20s or like early 20s. So I think that's another, I think they double-tapped defense here. And if they don't, I would be pretty surprised.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I think they double-tab defense here too. I want to push back. We did get a quote last week from Jera. I think Gerard McCoy makes a ton of sense if it's a need. He said specifically we're not taking an injured player. And Geron McCoy didn't play last year. Probably no longer injured,
Starting point is 00:25:36 but he did say that that's something that they're not interested in. So that almost specifically feels like a line through McCoy and almost McCoy only. Well, that's a great pivot then. Let's go somewhere else. Let's go. I think team need, though, you landed the plane there perfectly. He's a perimeter corner.
Starting point is 00:25:52 It's like such a glary need. And they do, look, they do have pick 20. So there's going to be some defensive back talent there as well. Yeah. So I guess would that bump up one of the other defensive linemen? Because this is kind of like a weird range right here. There's a couple of offensive linemen. There's, I don't know, Kenyon Sadiq.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I can't imagine they're going to take him. Dylan Thieneman, another safety. Two safeties in the top 15. Is that outrageous? It's not. It's not. So they signed Jalen Thompson. They have Malik Hooker who's, well,
Starting point is 00:26:26 been the league for a decade and is not really starting caliber anymore. Athena Min's like bonkers half-leet. I think Theneman's in play for the Bengals at 10 if Downs is off the board. Wow. Yeah, I feel like he's definitely, he's moving up. So it does fit in need. Where would you go? Since this is like an all-defense pick, you're the defense ball, no.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Or who would you pick? I would take Theneman. All right. Well, it's roll Thineman then. I mean, I would take McCoy, but he said it. That's what he's telling on himself. And again, Jerry is one of those guys that just doesn't, they don't really hide some stuff. I feel like them and the Steelers, we tend to have like a feel without any actual info.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Because it's like, we tend to get a little, some tells there. So I like the team and pick. I don't think he's, I think there are plenty of teams between here and 20 that would like to scoop him up. So I think that's a really good pick for them. Love it. All right. Scott, back to you for the Rams at 13. You know, Rams have been busy.
Starting point is 00:27:25 definitely feel like they're in this win now all in kind of mode, which would make a kind of sense. It's a fantastic roster, kind of poaching some of the Chief's corners and Jalen Watson, who's been awesome anytime he's healthy and Trim McDuffy. Those are really good fits. Still re-signing cam, curl. Offensive line is pretty solid. What do you think the Rams do here at 13? Yeah, I actually like offensive line as a fit.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I've seen Mackay Lemon mock to them a bunch, but I think Monroe Free It kind of fits some of what they can go for there on offensive line. Just kind of looking at what they have. I just think he's a better prospect long term. And if we're going to go ahead and run Matt Stafford back for another year, I think he needs to stay upright and not take so many hits, especially with long-term back issues that he has. So I kind of like Monroe Freeling here at 13 for them.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Monroe Freeling 13 to the Rams. Connor, back to you, 14 for the Baltimore. Ravens. Again, just new new Ravens. You know, just I think hard to get our brain around. It's been a Harbaugh-led era for a very long time. Still some, you know, DeCost and decision makers are still intact there. See some of the things that they've done. They brought back John Simpson who's been there previously. Obviously, we know the shuffling and defensive end with Trey Hendrickson is the new addition there after all the Max Crosby stuff. What do you think the Ravens do at 14?
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah, they're an interesting spot because they, Mackay Lemon doesn't really fit what they need wide receiver wise at this point. Like if you have Zay Flowers, like, I don't know, he obviously plays outside of it. He can move around a little bit. And so I think like a guy like Jordan Tyson is mocked to them a lot. He's already picked. So Tyson's gone. Tate would make sense.
Starting point is 00:29:12 He's gone. Obviously long gone there. And then from an offensive lineman perspective, it seems like they kind of need interior guys. Correct me if I'm wrong here and not really as many tackles. So that also puts them an interesting spot here Because I think Spencer Fanoe, who's like average draft position of like, I mean, he's gone anywhere from like, I mean, three to 18 or something like that probably doesn't fit what they need either. So I know like the most popular guy who's being mocked to them right now is, I mean, my God, I don't know how to pronounce it. Olavia Vega Leoni, Ione, Ione.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Yeah. Sky, you got a pronunciation there? I mean, that's, we try. That's all I got to say on this show. We're going to try. I think it goes by Vega, which is really... Yeah, they call him Vega for short. Vega Ione.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Vega Ione. He's the most popular mock tier. There are other guys that are technically better values, I think. But I think that he's probably the decision point in this mock draft. What about a Kenyan Sadiq? That'd be hot. I mean, they just got rid of likely Mark Andrew. I feel that role.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Andrews, what if he's dusty at this point? might be a little dusty. I think Mark is definitely dusty. But. All right. Spencer? No, no,
Starting point is 00:30:29 no, Vega. Vega. No, oh, Vega, I'm sorry. Vega, Vega,
Starting point is 00:30:33 Vigaea. Interior. Okay, perfect. I like it. Don't hate that. They made a couple of, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:38 signings at Interior, but I think that they're, I think they're fillers. Nothing long term. So, like that one. Scott, back to you,
Starting point is 00:30:46 Tampa Bay at 15. Tampa Bay. Bay, it's got some needs. One of them is not wide receiver. even though they let Mike Evans go. They've tried to throw some resources at defensive end the last couple years. I haven't had a ton of success.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Aishon Robinson, they brought in Al Quinn Mohammed from Detroit. Also, Alex Anzolone from Detroit to fill the linebacker spots in letting Devante, whatever his name is. Linebacker walk. They let in Alex Anzalone, who just should not be starting a linebacker anymore. But he is. What does Tampa do at 15? Yeah, I think they still need some pass rush.
Starting point is 00:31:26 And I like Keldrick Falk from Auburn. I think he makes a lot of sincere. He's kind of the chalk consensus pick, I think, in a lot of mock drafts, you know, somewhere around here for Tampa. It's got tight end listed as a need, but they went ahead and re-sign Kate Aiden. I think they like K.D.D.D.N., a lot just specifically what he brings to that team. So I think Edge is a little bit more important for. a need for them and so i think kedric park makes a lot of sense
Starting point is 00:31:55 he's a home run pick for them too and jason litch has been one of those character guys and i think that that's one of the things that uh falk i think raids out really well is just kind of one of those leaders a guy that i think when you sit across from people think he's going to interview very very well i could see tampa bay falling in love there it's definitely a need at edge conner back to you uh for the jets or second jets pick they picked uh at two with Arval Reese. Still at 16 with a bunch of needs on the board here.
Starting point is 00:32:26 What do you think the Jets do? If I'm the Jets, I'm going to keep adding just good players until they have enough of a core to sustain maybe a new quarterback player. Maybe that's Fano. Maybe it's McCoy. Maybe it's Mackay Lemon, you know, alongside Gary Wilson would be fun. But because I'm drafting for the Jets, I'm going to do a very Jets thing. I'm going to pick Ty Simpson as the quarterback heir to,
Starting point is 00:32:51 Gino Smith coming back from the dead to be the Jets quarterback. Just throw a little curveball here. I don't know how far you're going to have to scroll. But another curveball, Jeremiah put Omar Cooper there at 16, a guy who was like, I mean, late 20s, fringe first round kind of guy in most mokks, put him at 16. Getting a lot of steam, it seems like, I wouldn't be surprised to see him be like kind of a fringe top 20 pick. Also very much in play.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I just think that, you know, Ty Simpson here can be fun. and it's certainly a need. And it's a very Jets thing to do is to take a quarterback that isn't going to play, doesn't have the sporting cast, and is probably not ready to play either. So it's a perfect alignment in my mind. Perfect Jets pick. Love it.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Love it. I don't hate Ty Simpson. I don't know if he's... No, me neither. Yeah. All I do know is that quarterback analysis is impossible and everyone's terrible at it, even the people that are good at it. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. That's all I got. All right, Scott, back to you. 17 Detroit Lions. I've been pretty quiet in terms of, like, starters. I think it's one of the best rosters in football, obviously a little bit of a down year.
Starting point is 00:34:02 But Roger Bacquiry, Christian Eisen, and the secondary have been signed. Added Cade Mays to fill in its center. Drew Scruggs came over in that trade from Houston, Pacheco coming into that David Montgomery role, but I could still see them addressing the offensive line, still think they have some defensive line needs, maybe in the end. at off ball linebacker as well. I'm not sure that's something that they adjust in the first round. Though again, Jack Campbell was the first round pick.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And so in terms of positional value, you know, they are not afraid to go kind of off the board. Yeah, I think Spencer Fanow falling as far would make a lot of sense to them. I think he could play multiple positions across the offensive line and go ahead and help them out and figure out a way to get that offensive line settled there in the interior and on the left side as well. So I think he makes a lot of sense if he's on the board here for Detroit. And Detroit, there's been some talk about Peney Sewell moving to left tackle. So I don't think that they're stuck on having to draft someone to fill the left tackle need. I think you could see Penae Sule move to left.
Starting point is 00:35:03 And you can grab someone like Fano who's played some right tackle. I wouldn't skip a beat there. So I can't imagine that Pene Soule transferring from the right side to the left side is really that much of a problem for him. Even though he's obviously the best right tackling in football, I think he'd imagine probably one of the best. left tackles of the ball as well. So Spencer Fanu to the Lions, Connor back to you, Minnesota at 18.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Some quarterback battle. I don't even know if it's going to be a battle. I feel like it's going to be Kyler at this point. At a James Pier at corner as well, I still have some secondary needs. What do you think Minnesota does at 18? Does, yeah, that's the question. Does Kyler beat out JJ before the season?
Starting point is 00:35:46 I kind of think that they give J.J. another run. first. I think so. Maybe. Well, yeah. I mean, it just doesn't know how bad it is in camp, right?
Starting point is 00:35:53 Like, I really, it really does. It's a disaster like, pull the plug, right? Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:36:00 didn't the, the Colchist did this, Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson basically, right? I mean, like. Sure, it's a good point. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:36:06 it is theoretically easier to give JJ the shot and be able to pull them versus giving it to Kyler and then having to go back to JJ. Yeah. But, I mean,
Starting point is 00:36:16 that's, that's a mess. That's tough. Yeah. anyway it's not really all that relevant here i think that kenyon sedique would be fun here they did just resign t j hawkinson i know but i think it was like a really shitty deal jordan addison continues his legal troubles so basically it's like you got a dead tight end um you got like a second ward receiver who's bad in legal troubles then you have keny and sidic who's like the most athletic
Starting point is 00:36:40 tight end of all time and can they could easily play 12 or you know like having played in the run the slot or play outside so i think sidique would be fun there Yeah, Jalen Naylor, Trann Tonoreltz for them last year, and he's now with the Raiders. So in terms of secondary pass catchers, there's definitely questions there. So, Sadiq, 18 to Minnesota.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yeah, it makes sense. Carolina 19. Carolina, can they make it three years in a row clicking wide receiver in the first round? I think it's probably possible. I think they had a nice little free agency, you know, through some money at, Jalen Phillips for edge rusher, definitely a huge, huge need that they had there.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Kind of like that move for them. Some questions in terms of what they're going to do at left tackle, Ikea Cuano getting hurt late in the season. They added Rashad Walker from Green Bay through a bunch of money in Devon Lloyd to playoff ball linebacker. So some decent moves there, solidifying some offensive line stuff there, too, Scott. What do you think the Panthers do in 19? I like Sadiq, if he makes it there. that's who I was going to roll with. But you got to go ahead and make some adjustments whenever that happens.
Starting point is 00:37:54 And, you know, I think the Panthers are kind of set at wide receiver to an extent. When you start looking at it, I think they really like what they have in Jalen Coker in the way he started to develop. You've seen him have some big games. Ted McMillan, you know, had a hell of the season the last year. I think there's a hole there at tight end that they could have filled. But look, we're going to go ahead and just kind of like go with the board. I think, you know, Jermad McCoy, talent-wise, is a player that, you know, in this situation,
Starting point is 00:38:29 maybe just take the best player available, slide him into a cornerback position and, you know, see where those medicals kind of worked out. And I think you definitely solidify that secondary, you know, opposite of, of J.C. Horn and I think that's a play that will work out there if Sadiq's not there. All right. Dr. Ron McCoy. They got a really good season out of Mike Jackson last year
Starting point is 00:38:55 and a pretty solid team-friendly deal, but I think McCoy should be gone by now, but it can't hurt adding solid secondary pieces there too. Can they find a way? I think they're real question. The secondary isn't the nickel. But maybe McCoy can do that or maybe Mike Jackson can do that.
Starting point is 00:39:12 done in the past two. So, Connor, back to you for your second Cowboys pick as well. We went, I think Dylan Theelman the first time, yep,
Starting point is 00:39:22 and they still have defensive needs here at 20. Yeah, we went Dylan Theuman, so I think that makes it easier for us to go with defensive line here. Probably,
Starting point is 00:39:33 we'll go with Akeem Messidor. That's a pretty popular selection here at 20. I mean, they could pick a guy like avion Terrell the corner as well if they really wanted to like double down on secondary i don't think that's like the worst idea in the world um so that that would be an
Starting point is 00:39:51 interesting spot too but because i mean again i i think that they'll do the optimal thing probably pick one secondary one defensive linemen something like that they double down on both who knows that wouldn't be that surprising i guess yeah the mesdor thing just comes down i think to whatever team's philosophy is on drafting you know 25 year olds versus you know 20 21 year olds, right? So I think Mesador's tape belongs definitely in this top 20. It just is a matter of who gives a rip.
Starting point is 00:40:21 You know, if he's coming out of his first contract and going into his second contract, he's almost 30. Messador may as well be like 15 compared to Jerry Jones. So anything, you know, age is not a problem, I think, for Jera. That's true. I just for note, the one
Starting point is 00:40:36 front office that has mattered the least amount in the last handful years, the Chicago Bears. Ryan Paul's not afraid to select the olds. So it would be interesting. And Messonor is still there for the Bears and a couple of picks. All right. Back to you, Scott 21, Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Another new organization. Not a new front office, but new coach, right? Mike Tallum being gone feels like some changes. Had him there for literally in eternity. They added Michael Pittman via trade, which I felt like robbery. Did not give up very much to get, I think, a real big, bodyed wide receiver that could do a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Still not dynamic and electric, but I think a really good receiver. Sebastian Joseph Day, Jamal Dean, Jaquan Brisker, Darnell Savage along the defensive side. So pretty solid offseason, I think, for the Steelers. What do you think they do at 21? Look, I think when it comes down to draft day, I think Steelers are going to be a team that is looking to move in this drafts. Just the things that they need do not fit right here. you know, you look at maybe their interior offensive line, quarterback.
Starting point is 00:41:45 It's just the draft board, I don't think on draft day, is going to end up aligning with a lot of what they need. I think, you know, Pittman, they got a seal. You know, you got D.K. Metcalf. And so I think we're going to go with a completely different type of wide receiver to fill weapons for whoever the quarterback may end up being. And I think we'll go with Mackay Lemon here at 21, just the playmaker. that they can run out of the slot and kind of do some things with the ball in his hand after catch and stuff.
Starting point is 00:42:15 So I just, I think they've done a decent job in free agency and filling some needs and adding some pieces. But the things that they really need to clarify and kind of figure out their quarterback and some of their weapons, I think McCoy Lemon will make a decent bit of sense for some of the needs they have if they're stuck here. But like I said, I think this is a team that will be in prime position to go ahead and make some moves on draft day. It feels like I'll run the card up to the podium selection if Mackay Lemon happens to be there for them at 21. It feels like if you have some concerns about the secondary receivers that they've taken the last couple years, like, man, Lemon feels like he answers that slot with the two big guys on the outside. I feel like that would be really nice addition to whoever's the quarterback for them next year.
Starting point is 00:42:59 So I like that pick a lot. It feels like a pretty easy click with the way the board has fallen. 22 to you, Connor, for the chargers. I think a pretty nice little, uh, frigate period solidifying some interior offensive line issues. Again, obviously they get Roshan Slater and Joel Altback next year. Things get a little bit easier, you know, bringing in, you know, Tyler Radasset at center, Col Strange at right guard.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I think a really nice moves. What do you think they do with 22? Yeah, I'm on first. I'm just reading the comments now, uh, from my Jets pick here. You don't, you don't pick a quarterback who played 15 games at a college at a premium pick, agreed, let alone. 15th overall in the entire draft. Yeah, guys, I mean, it's the Jets.
Starting point is 00:43:39 So, like, you know, I agree with you. You did preface it with I wouldn't do it. I'm doing it because the Jets would do it. So this is not what we think team should do. This is, you know, yeah. This is what I think that they could do. And I think that is well within the range of outcomes. They could pick another quarterback.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I mean, who knows? 22, I'm going to go with Omar Cooper. I mean, they need some talent, I think, outside of Ladd-McConkie. You know, they did have Keenan Allen stuck up a ton of targets come in. they QJ was kind of like revitalized. They bring in Mike McDaniel as well. Omar Cooper ran a really good 40. He was like 4-4-2.
Starting point is 00:44:13 But he's more like a big body outside guy. I think that he would be a great fit for them just like structurally within their offense. So I think Omar Cooper would be interesting here. Denzel Boston could make a case as well. But I think Cooper probably gets the nod for me at this point. Yeah. I like it.
Starting point is 00:44:29 If they were to select defense they get here in the manual, McNeil Ward is on the board. I would think that they should do that too, but I understand the Cooper play as well. I like him quite a bit. And as you mentioned, definitely some steam coming from DJs of the world. And I think he's going to have a nice little pre-draft situation here.
Starting point is 00:44:48 But, man, Emmanuel and Mingneill Warren would be a really nice fit. And they have some holes at safety. Back to you, Scott 23, Philly. Look, re-signed Dallas Goddard. We weren't, I don't think, expecting. I still feels like the AJ Brown trade is, I don't know, more likely to happen than not, but who knows what's going on there? What do you think Philly does here at 23?
Starting point is 00:45:13 Look, I think they've been shuffling around the offensive line. It's starting to get, you know, a little bit older. And, you know, one of the names I keep here to look out for there is Caden Proctor, Big Tackle from Alabama. I think he makes a lot of sense. You look at the way they draft, the SEC connections that, you know, how i roseman normally goes after and then building along their trenches and uh you know filling in some of the the offensive line injuries that they've had over the last couple years i think he makes
Starting point is 00:45:41 a lot of sense here to philadelphia who is i feel like they're they're kind of transitioning and teeter in between whether or not they want to be a super bowl contender or if they're they're just going to go ahead and kind of be like that playoff team but um i think he makes a lot of sense for some of the needs that they have all right kin proctor probably becomes a swing for them. I don't know that there's a hole, but this could be Lane Johnson's last year, who knows what's happening. They're long term. It does feel like a how we move to kind of stay one step ahead, especially in the trenches. So that would not surprise me whatsoever. Connor, back to you for another Browns pick at 24. We addressed wide receiver the first time
Starting point is 00:46:19 with Carnell Tate. What do you think the Browns do here at 24? I thought about doubling down, but not going to do that. I think Caleb Lomu, like a left tackle, I think from Utah. he's pretty commonly most mock drafts going I don't know kind of like top 25-ish top 27 range somewhere somewhere in there so I think 24 for him could make a lot of sense browns need some left tackle help there kind of reshuffling their office line a little bit so he's two-year starter left tackle so I think that's a pretty good fit thank you loom to the Browns of 24 Chicago 25 Scott let's see what the bears have
Starting point is 00:47:01 you've been up to, obviously, making some moves. You know, surprise retirement along the offensive line. Replaced Gary Bradbury stepped in there. Khalif Raymond as your slot receiver. Devin Bush, Kobe Bryant, Cam Lewis on the defensive side of the ball for starters. Still have some needs, I think you could fill in the secondary. Lots of different ways for the Bears to go. What do you think they do at 25?
Starting point is 00:47:27 Yeah, you know, they lost one of the cornerbacks. but, you know, look, I'm still doing a lot of homework here on these defensive tackles and trying to figure out scheme fits. And I'm going to go with Peter Woods from Clemson along that defensive line. And I think Ben Johnson's kind of put his fingerprints on his offense the last year and a half as far as filling in pieces and what he wants to do there. And so I think they're going to turn a little bit of attention over to the defensive side of the ball. I think an interior defensive lineman, whether they deem that's what.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Woods or Banks or, you know, C.N. McDonald, like one of those guys, I think, makes a ton of sense along the interior defensive line for the bear. So like that call out quite a bit. Connor, back to you, 26. Buffalo Bills. We know the DJ Moore Trade. They also brought in Bradley Chubb.
Starting point is 00:48:20 C.J. Gardner Johnson to fill in in the secondary as well. D. Alford fills in for Toronto Johnson, who jumped to the Raiders. Gino Stone also in town. They had some questions at safety. So in terms of what they're looking to do there, so it feels a little redundant in the back half. But what do you think the bills do at 26? Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 00:48:41 I know that they got DJ Moore. I know that they have Cleo Shakir, but they need to take Keon Coleman, remove him from the roster and draft an X receiver like Denzel Boston. We put DJ Moore at Y or Z. Then we put Khalil Shakir in the slot. You have Dalton Kincaid Healthy.
Starting point is 00:48:57 You got James Cook running. Josh Allen with those guys. and then a rookie Denzel Boston, I think would be just an awesome, awesome unit and go from literally a unit that I think kind of let Josh Allen down in a lot of ways to one that, I mean, could vault into the top five, ten in the league,
Starting point is 00:49:13 you know, with all of those guys healthy. So I think that would be just a massive shift and then it's a great time for them to double down on wide out here when, like you mentioned, like they filled a lot of gaps that like I think were gaps and now at the point in that they're in a pretty good spot. Yeah, I mean, they could use some depth at edge. they could use, well, I don't know what they're doing in linebacker, but like those are, I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:33 Edge is a premier position, but I think you can get some of those things a little bit later. I think there's probably a pretty solid gap at wide receiver that falls off. So I'm with you. Like build around your franchise. If one of these premier wide receivers is still there, especially a big body guy like Denzel Boston, I think that makes a ton of sense for Buffalo 26. Scott, back to you, 27 San Francisco. Again, other, you know, questions at wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:49:58 They went on and addressed that. Evans, Christian Kirk. Anyway, you know, if Ricky Bullets is still struggle a little bit, they have some answers there, you know, some moves along the defensive side, too, in terms of some depth pieces, interior defensive lines. Some nice additions there. What do you think the Niners do with 27?
Starting point is 00:50:16 I think it's a little bit rough in it. And one of the things that's going to pop up is what ends up happening with Trent Williams. There's been a lot of information, you know, based upon, you know, he wants more money. Are they going to get rid of him? He's getting up there in a age. He's got a lot of miles and wearing tear on the body, missing games last year.
Starting point is 00:50:36 And, you know, I don't know if there's a tackle that makes a lot of sense right here at this point in time. I think you could maybe see them, you know, try to move around. I'm just going to go ahead and I think one of the positions that they could use is I think we go after the safety here, Emmanuel McNeill-Warn. I think they could use a little bit of secondary help. I think he's an upgrade over some of what they have right now. And Malik Mastafah and Jair Brown, I think he would make a lot of sense. It's just one of those things where the way the board fell, if the right tackle was there, I think they would go tackle.
Starting point is 00:51:15 But I don't think any of the tackles here makes sense. Manuel Mayniel Warren is awesome. And a hybrid player that could do a lot. Definitely a lot of like Nickyamo-Worry vibes there too. So yeah, I think he's a really nice fit. You play him with Wuling Mustafa and let them just kind of terrorize teams that can get to the second level against them. I think that'd be a really nice fit. Houston, Connor, Fue, 28, obviously a solid roster, but some holes, some questions.
Starting point is 00:51:45 They think they've done a good job at trying to throw some pieces along the offensive line since that's been an issue. Wyatt Teller there. Brennan Smith comes in. feels like they kind of have starters there out of some death too and Evan Brown. Defensively, they decide re-blanketship to play free safety for them. They've also added some depth along the defensive line as well, especially on the interior. But I still think that's a neat.
Starting point is 00:52:08 What do you think the Texans do? Yeah, I think that they need to go online and draft a line like five times just in a row and just figure out how to make that offense work consistently, especially the running game. I think the running game can get going. They got David Montgomery. still of Woody Marks. Like, you know, not an ideal one-two duo, but I don't think it's bad.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Now, the question is, how do they address the line? Like, I think that they need mostly interior offensive line. I can't say at this point in the draft that I'm super familiar of the delineation between Max Eonachor and Chase Bessantis to, like, who can play inside or, like, kind of the dynamics there. Yeah, Bessonius is going to be the interior guy, the guard. There you go. that's that's probably the move then um all right you have to scroll we scroll into just all the
Starting point is 00:53:02 area chase bassantis yeah text annum guard perfect all right just in the interior offensive line back to you scott 29 for kansas city uh our first kansas city pick was um mansurge lane cornerback from lSU what i think they do with their second first round pick yeah one of considerations I had earlier was for edge rusher, and I think that's where they go now. And I think Cassius Howell makes a lot of sense this late in the draft. You know, a player can go ahead and get after it. And you start looking at the contracts of what some of these defensive ends are making. I think they had a good signing by kind of beaten, beaten to the point of getting Carlopto's,
Starting point is 00:53:44 I think, in extension and, you know, what they did with him, I think last year. So I think Cassius Howell is a player that can make a lot of sense for them here, this late in the draft. Cashed Powell, nice tape, a little smaller. But again, forming a defensive player of the year in that conference, I think, is not nothing. Sliding a little bit compared to where I think we thought he'd go earlier in the process. But again, you know, the measurables and measurables and those things did not go great for him at the combine. Arm length concerns, size concerns. But definitely get after the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Don't hate that at all at 29. that's for sure 30 to you Connor Dolphins their second pick We went Jordan Tyson the first time around This is their pick from Denver With the Jaden Walter trade I mean the dolphins they need
Starting point is 00:54:31 They need Jesus There's people in the chat still talking about Like He's not on the board Unfortunately Need some more wider receiver help I thought it was an interesting note That KC Conception was
Starting point is 00:54:43 Got a preventative knee cleanup Which was strange I don't know how that even makes sense, not a doctor, but they're like, oh, no concern here. Obviously, a little bit of a concern. I think for the Dolph, it's a popular pick right now is C.J. Allen. It looks like he's really high on PFF sport as well.
Starting point is 00:55:01 He was like, I think the top remaining player. And- High of linebackers, though. It's like the only one thing they do have is they kind of have, I mean, Jordan Brooks and Terrell Dotson, like it's in terms of like team need. Like, they got that kind of. They don't have anything else.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Yeah, I'm open to another select pick. want to go like Tyrell or McDonald or I don't know anyone else here you get if you got any sleepers we only have three picks left so yeah they need they need help I mean I like literally who's their best player I know I mean Zach Sealer the interior defensive line like it's not it's not pretty I mean it was a solid offensive line right they had a one of their offensive line was a was a pro bowler I mean pro bowler I mean doesn't matter much anymore but right isn't uh Austin Jackson or
Starting point is 00:55:52 someone on a good year. Yeah, no, Aaron Brewer, I believe was, uh, you know, one of the, I think nominees for the trench player award or whatever it is. So, um, the, the chat is loving your guys picks. Actually, it's hating it. Scott, they, I think someone in here, we got slamming
Starting point is 00:56:08 Sammy Joe and Mickey Moonrock over here, just rooting on T.J. Parker. Uh, and you pick someone else and they're, they're quite upset. So chat's getting into the, uh, into the draft here. Appreciate you guys hanging out here and love the, love the feedback, you know, it's great. Yeah, I think that's, TJ Parker, Zion Young, and I want to throw out another name that I think need to get on people's radar.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Malachi Lawrence is a dog. That's it. It's going to put it out there. We're to start to hear some Malachi Lawrence, bottom first round. Maybe it's Patriots or Seahawks. There's some, like, he's on a really select list of guys in the last 10 years in terms of, like, win rates, Raz score.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Malachi Lawrence is a guy. So in terms of some of these edge rushers, Lawrence, Zion Young, and a previous mentioned, C.J. Parker, I think all three of these teams that are still on the board here in the first round
Starting point is 00:57:02 could add edge depth. Let's give the Miami Avionteau. He's also a willing run stuffer. Their cornerback room is atrocious. They need some ways. He's a little undersized, but I think he's a really good football player, and they desperately need help at corner. We're looking at, you know, Daryl Baker, Jr.,
Starting point is 00:57:29 who struggled to stay on the field in Tennessee last year, Lonnie Johnson, Storm Duck, Jason Marshall, who's in the second year and missed most of the year last year. It's a really, really, really bad secondary at all positions. So Terrell, I think, is a good pick there. All right, we can roll with that. I appreciate that. All right, Scott, back to you for the new and the,
Starting point is 00:57:49 the Patriots. Let a lot of guys walk. Also, re-signed some of their own guys. Not a super busy. Offseason, Kevin Byard at safety. It's a nice fill-in. Draymont Jones at defensive end.
Starting point is 00:58:03 It's kind of swapping some guys they lost for those signings here, too. What do you think they do? I mean, AVT was a big one for them, too, and Romeo Dobbs. But New England, 31. Yeah, I think we have some players that we're trying to fly into this first round. I think Caleb Banks is still on the board. No, Kelly Banks are drafted. No, he's still on the board.
Starting point is 00:58:25 You go Caleb Banks here at 31 for the Patriots. I think that defensive interior and I think the talent that Banks has there along the interior would make a lot of sense for them. A couple other players, I think you could maybe slide some offensive line help in here. Casey Concepcion, maybe another player for some wide receiver help to consider. Love it. All right, Connor. Bring us home. 32.
Starting point is 00:58:50 What do you give the team that has everything? Yeah, I mean, do we want to, let's see here. I mean, it's probably, I mean, it's tough. This is tough when you're near the Seahawks here. I mean, they did just lose a corner so we could go Colden Hood. That's like a popular pick here. I think I would go corner or edge. But yeah, no problem with that.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Running, you don't want to go running back here? Judarian Price I do like Judarian Price but probably not here. They need more corner first. They did, they have Zach Charbonnet coming back from injury.
Starting point is 00:59:29 They signed someone else recently too. Manuel Wilson from Greenland. Manuel Wilson, yeah, Mani, who won us a lot of money randomly for like low lines, but I don't think he's very good.
Starting point is 00:59:41 So I don't know. Yeah, probably still corner. can dress running back later. So let's go, Coldon. Yeah. All right. Again, appreciate all the comments.
Starting point is 00:59:55 You know, people have very strong opinions about the draft, even in the middle of March, which you absolutely, absolutely love to see. This is the final board force. Run down.
Starting point is 01:00:07 We'll share it on social. Get some more engagement. People will tell us with conviction. There's no way Team X would take player Y, if player W is. of it like just i love that stuff i do too actually i personally enjoy it we got some commentary here prices in a first round that would be goofy daniel jeremiah had him in his first round in his mock
Starting point is 01:00:27 a couple other people did i mean wouldn't wouldn't be that surprising you never know end of the draft people just come off super bowl they're on their high they're like i mean c h was the last back of the first round so yeah never forget i should never forget all right uh anything else in anything that you uh scott any you know thoughts on how the board rolled out any one that you think is like hey just the way it kind of fell we let this person fall out of the first round and there's just no way you're making a mock with said player out of the first round i actually think that uh i think tackles a position that you're going to see um kind of be a fluent position up and down especially along that second half of the first round i think you're going to you can maybe see a position
Starting point is 01:01:12 where you see like seven tackles end up making it into the first round. So that's something that I'm kind of looking at. I think Bissantis is probably a second round talent. So we're kind of getting killed in a chat right now over that one. But look, I mean, these are exercises, and I love the feedback because when I hear it, you know, you're not going to get this player here. They would go with that player. it makes me go back and try to do more research as far as like team schemes fit and things
Starting point is 01:01:46 of that nature. So, you know, keep it coming, tear us apart. Tell us where we got it wrong. And, you know, we'll try to get a better next time. Early consensus is that you guys got it wrong at 28, 29. Yeah, those were not popular ones. I think we were keeping the ship on track before then. And Chad did not like that one.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Some of the other popular players that we left out of the first round, I believe C.J. Allen, we did not take, right? 66% right now in first round in mock drafts. It's hard to find a home for them. We don't have full athletic testing profile. I like Jacob Rodriguez just as much. I'm sure some other teams will as well. So yeah, offball linebacker gets a little bit tricky.
Starting point is 01:02:30 But yeah, using VR sheet is a smart resource. Yeah, and then Casey Conception's other one we touched on, 59% of the first round right now. I think the knee cleanup might change things. Maybe it doesn't. maybe teams were aware of it. I think he's a baller. So I think probably still goes in the first round.
Starting point is 01:02:43 Just tough to find a spot for him. Yeah. I think Zion Young's going in the first round. You guys didn't find a home for him too. And again, I'll continue to make some waves for Malachi Lawrence as an edge rusher as well. Just, you know, positional value making a ton of sense too, especially with catches how we'll slide down. Some of those things kind of fall in.
Starting point is 01:03:02 So overall, it's in middle of March. We've got six weeks. It's a pretty good exercise as we kind of look on the other side a free agency and that's what we wanted to do today. I mean, a home run pick, I think here for the Steelers with Mackay Lemon. I think that would be one that Steelers fans would be quite happy about. So, all right.
