Yes, that includes you, Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns fans. We're even going into day two. We're going through all of the teams and giving you

one prospect, but we're having a good conversation about it. It's kind of an updated team needs and just pairing that with a player that really comes to mind that we think could really help these NFL teams. I'm Trevor Sycamore. With me as always is Connor Rogers. Let's ring the bell. Welcome to the opening bell of the NFL Stock Exchange Podcast. I'm Trevor Sycamore. That is Connor Rogers joining you guys for a midweek episode. And I teased that I had a pretty good idea at the end of last show. And I didn't want to say it on the show because if Connor hated the idea and we weren't going to do it, then I was going to feel really self-conscious about it when, and it was going to be, it was going to be bad, bad for my self-esteem, but he loved it. And the idea is what you guys can

see at the title. It is an early prospect fit for all 32 teams in the NFL. So we have a decent look at what the draft order is right now. Obviously there's a lot of things that are going to change but as the draft order kind of sits we've got early prospects that we would love for each of these teams to have so connor i'm excited about this one glad that you liked it buddy because i think that this is going to be something that it could appeal to all of our listeners no matter who they are a team or no matter who they are a fan of and it's you know good nfl draft exercise so i like it i loved it it's honestly full transparency it was really good homework like i sat down tuesday night and because i haven't done this exercise yet and went through rosters of needs of and you start going through when guys contracts expire you start going through

who might be grading out you know poorly for a team and this isn't super in the weeds but this was the first time of this season besides i did one mock draft for mbc sports but the first mock draft you do is always like team team needs in august we haven't had cuts yet it's way more about 32 names right it's an intro to the class 100 this was like not all of it because some players I just like in a scheme or with a roster but a lot of this is man they are going to need this position they are going to need this type of player right and some of these are realistic some of these might not be in three weeks depending how wins and losses go with the draft order. But right. Definitely a really fun exercise that gives you a crash course

on team needs where they stand before the trade deadline. Yeah. So we've got the same setup. We're going to go through all 32 teams, kind of talk about where they're picking right now. You and I have not seen each other's list. I have a couple of repeats, but even if I do have a repeat, I've got some names that I'm bringing to the table anyways for it. There's a lot of teams that I think are going to have quarterback needs and the repeats kind of stem around the quarterbacks, but we will get to a different player for every single team, I think, throughout this entire exercise. So let's just start with the Chicago Bears at number one. They have two picks right now in the top five, in the top three, I should say.

They're picking at number one. That's Carolina's selection. And then their own selection right now is number three overall. So the needs, the players that they could choose from, we can kind of talk about it all in one swoop. Who's one player that you like for them here? I'm guessing it's going to have to do with them addressing their very first pick at number one.

Right. That's where I went. And I promise this list gets more interesting as it goes on, but there's going to be some that feel mock drafty at the top, because if you don't go that route, you're kind of just starting to defy logic. And the good news, like you said, Trevor, is that they have multiple picks where that other conversation will be a lot of fun for them. But as I did one prospect for each team, this is the Caleb Williams spot for me. And it's not just that we think the Bears could be picking here based on odds and everything like that.

But it's the fact that you look at the timeline Justin Fields is on with this team. It doesn't align with a lot of things. And assuming they're not going to pick up his fifth year option, it probably makes sense to trade him this off season. See if you can get something in return. You're picking, you're going to be picking early,

whether it's your pick or the Panthers pick at the top of this draft and a good quarterback class. It's probably Ryan Poles is one shot at taking his own guy. I don't know who's going to be coaching this team. I think that's what makes this a really tough answer. Cause I don't think this is a great landing spot for Caleb Williams. If Luke gets, he is back as offensive coordinator,

although maybe he needs more time to, to be fair. So the reality is right now, the bears offensive line is getting better. It's not where it needs to be, but it's but we talked about Darnell right earlier in the show. DJ Moore is a star wide receiver. There are things on this offense that are trending in the right direction. Before Justin Fields got hurt, Cole Komet was having an effective year at tight end,

and they extended him. So when you look at an upgrade in the pass game, which is what Caleb Williams is expected to be over Justin Fields, this is a really, really fun landing spot that I think would accelerate the Bears in a way that they haven't seen in a long time. Yeah, I agree with you. This is also the Caleb Williams spot for me. Obviously, there's a handful of teams

that I think are still kind of in the sweepstakes, but certainly with Chicago owning two of the top three picks right now, it feels overwhelming that they're probably going to get their crack at them at number one overall, whether it's their pick or whether it's Panthers pick. So I also had Caleb Williams here, but I was thinking about that number three overall pick too, because I think everybody believes that it's going to be a quarterback, one of him or Drake May at number one. But the other two guys, I agree with your assessment of the offense. I think they could certainly use a pass rusher,

and like Laatu Laatu maybe is on the board for them, but I think they'd probably rather stick with double dipping on offense. Now, in reality, I think a trade is certainly involved for them too, trading back, getting future draft capital, especially if they're picking one and two um but for that three spot to me even with dj moore there even with darnell mooney even with me liking tyler scott and that's the trio of wide receivers that they have right now with claypool no longer there you got the opportunity to take marvin harrison jr man i mean you're setting

something up that could be very very special for for Caleb Williams in that offense moving forward. So I think that Caleb Williams is the one prospect that we would choose here for the Chicago Bears. But with a second pick so close, Marvin Harrison and Oluf Peshanu, just such a phenomenal pass protector already at the college level, even with some investments they've had

already on the offensive line i feel like those two got to be on the table for considerations with whatever that second pick would have been absolutely that's that's what makes them so interesting is that there's really not a way you can go wrong i think with the other player it's just a matter of what they where they need start or where they want to start talent i it's tantalizing to think of caleb williams coming into the nfl throwing to martin harrison jr like right it's just you think of that and you're like man that's you want to talk about helping a guy's development and last week we had a whole show and a big port on quarterbacks and a portion of that show was dedicated to that.

All the guys in this class need developing like they're not walking in as heroes right away. That man, that's a that's exciting. Like DJ Moore and Marvin Harrison Jr. and a guy with a limitless arm. It's I mean, yeah, well, I have a different landing spot from marvin harrison jr but it's still the bears are going to be a really fun team to talk about for this draft yeah so now we got the cardinals up at number two and i think you know referencing some of those early mock drafts that you mentioned that had the arizona cardinals picking at number one a lot of people slotted caleb williams there right they talked about all right you're moving on from kyler

murray the team's going to be terrible and it just doesn't feel like that's going to be in the cards for them. Maybe the conversation shifts if they do get that number one overall pick, because the Cardinals of all franchises have done something like this before, drastically changing a QB when maybe they didn't have to. That's how Kyler Murray even got there. But I don't have a quarterback for them. And instead, I do look at the offensive line. This is a team that needs help in both trenches badly. And where I'd love to give them a defensive player. Again, I think it's the same as Chicago. Laatu Laatu, my top edge rusher in this class,

he'd be a good fit for either of these teams. There's a couple of players that maybe they would prioritize over him just because of big board ranking, how good of overall prospects you think that these players are. And so I did ultimately lean on offensive line with the Cardinals. I went with Olufushano here, and he drafted Paris Johnson Jr. last year, and he's playing right tackle right now as DJ Humphries is playing left tackle.

Humphries, either he's over 30 or he turns 30 next year but his contract gets pretty cuttable and you're at the point where you're really just trying to rebuild that offensive line anyway so if you're able to move on from him save some cap space and have two bookend tackles of Paris Johnson Jr and Olulufesanu, man, like that is enticing as you are moving forward as a franchise. So I went with Olufesanu here as my pick for the Cardinals. And I get it. That's to think of that tackle tandem. You know, the Cardinals are the pinnacle of a team that you look at them both sides of the ball in the trenches and you're like, they got to really build that up.

That's going to be really, really important for them. So that's, and they've started to, but they have a lot, you know, I almost went, as I did one prospect for each team, I almost went with the defensive lineman, assuming with their other pick, but I did stay with the high pick. And I went with the chalk here of Marvin Harrison Jr. Just for the thought that... Now, this one's interesting because

when Kyler Murray comes back this season, which is a good sign that he will play this year, if Kyler Murray comes back and has a lot of success throwing to not just Hollywood Brown, but Michael Wilson, and this offense looks different, where you go, man, they can air it out with these guys. Maybe they don't need to use a top pick. Now, it's crazy because Marvin, like there aren't a lot of guys that you say no to Marvin

Harris. Like I have this guy. I'm not going to take Marvin Harrison Jr. Right. There's just not a lot of guys that exist like that. But that's why I went that road, because you can play those three together. I mean, that is a really that's exciting for an offense that has a quarterback that could throw the ball down the field that's mobile, that those guys can take turns playing inside.

Marvin Harrison's a true outside wide receiver. Michael Wilson has the size to be that. And then maybe Hollywood plays in the slot more. That's 11 personnel. That's really, really scary with your quarterback. So that's why I went Marvin Harrison Jr. here. But I do think for the Cardinals, there's a key talking point to beef up both their offensive and defensive lines.

Yeah, I think it's an interesting conversation because you do set up a pretty nice receiver room with the guys that you have there if you install Marvin Harrison at that wide receiver, one spot, the way that I see this draft class kind of falling, I still lean on offensive tackle just because I like the idea of investing the higher pick and offensive tackle where, you know,

we're selecting one player for each team, but right. Cardinals do have that middle of the first round pick. If I was giving them a second player for that second pick there, I do have that middle of the first round pick if i was giving them a second player for that second pick there i'd be giving them romo dunza you know when i went through this exercise and i kind of didn't want to double dip on players that is who i gave them at number 16 with the houston texans pick that they currently own so with guys like malik neighbors and romo dunza keon cole, so many others in this class potentially available in the middle of the

first round. I like the idea of hitting offensive tackle early. And then when you have that later pick to go wide receiver. So even though we're technically doing one, give you guys a little bit of a bonus here for the teams that are picking twice. I'd give Romo dunes a to the Cardinals with that second pick. I know that's listen that's

once again your little combo nice little combo there yeah it's and i'll i'll clarify this these first two i went caleb williams the bears marvin harrison junior the cardinals i won't always go with the thought process of their first pick there are a couple that i randomly said like maybe they could get this guy in the second round i just like the fit of that player there. So it will get a little interesting as we keep going. But with that, we are on the Broncos now, correct? Yes. Who you got for the Broncos?

Drake May. I mean, here's the reality with the Broncos. They weren't supposed to be in this predicament. They were supposed to be competing with Russell Wilson. Even if the team was bad,

you were still supposed to be with the thought that Russell Wilson is going to be the quarterback for bad, you were still supposed to be with the thought that Russell Wilson is going to be the quarterback for five years there or whatever it may be. When I watch this team, I just get the sense that Sean Payton can't stand the fact that Russell Wilson is his quarterback, whether that's fair or not. And the reality is, it's the old saying of you might not find yourself in this position where you are picking high enough and the supply exists. Where I look at Drake May and go,

like Sean Payton is going to want his own guy. Now, the money conversation with Russ, like there is a lot to unpack here. It's brutal. It's brutal. But would it shock you if they're just... Isn't it weird? The Broncos made a decision, right, to go get Russell Wilson and commit

all of this long-term money to him. Then they made this decision to go hire a coach, maybe the most expensive coach in the NFL. He's up there. He's top three. Coaching salaries aren't released to the public. So Bill Belichick could be making $25 million a year. And like, we don't know.

The bottom line is you have maybe the most expensive coach or one of, and they don't go together at all. So you're eating the bill somewhere. And I'll tell you who they're not eating the bill on after one year, Sean Payton. No, they're not. No, they're not eating the bill on after one year sean payton no they're not no they're not so especially because i think that especially because i think that sean payton is i don't want to like say like hijacking but he's like infiltrating the decision making i i feel

within the organization percent dude he he rolled the whole bus over the entire what he walked into like nathaniel hackett was the snippet pulled out of that thing right that's like that was the story because the jets were going to play them it was way over the line it was being an asshole whatever like i get it but the bigger part of that whole story to me was damn sean payton is setting this up where when the broncos stink this year it's everyone else's fault and he's gonna get rid of them all yeah i agree so hello drake may welcome to the broncos look i also have drake may for the brooks i mean i agree with you man and you know what the people agree with this as well because if you look at pfs mock

draft simulator the most drafted player to the denver broncos right now is Drake May. And second most is Caleb Williams, which means that Broncos fans are finding a way to trade up to number one to go get Caleb Williams in these mock draft simulations because he's not falling a four. So especially if you are just controlling the Broncos and you're letting it sim, Caleb Williams is not falling to you. So I think Broncos fans agree what's going on right now. And the swing of the bat that they took, it was a whiff. I feel like, oh man, it's just, it feels so, yeah, I don't want to say they struck out yet, but a lot of things would feels like would have to turn around,

especially with how Russ is playing. And if they're sitting here and they have the opportunity to go get themselves, Drake may, I agree with you. I find it very hard to believe that Sean Payton would shy away from that. So I also went Drake may with this one. I think Marvin Harrison jr.

Is also like, if they're not going with a quarterback, okay. They're probably reshifting that entire receiver room, that entire passing game. And if they have the opportunity to get Marvin Harrison Jr. in there, they would if they're not moving on

from Russ. But I got Drake May too. I got Drake May to the Broncos at four. Who you got at five? New York Giants are at five. So the Giants at five and now, okay, now at least gets like a little bit more off the rails here and not that off the rails, but Roma Dunze, for me, with the Giants.

Ooh, okay, so you're thinking not necessarily like mock draft, like they're picking a five. This is a player that you love for this team. Exactly, and, you know, part of my thought is, too, but it doesn't matter for this exercise, is the Giants are going to win more games. You know, they're getting Andrew Thomas back. It's a good point.

The NFC, whatever the Giants are going to stumble into some wins like the thought of the Giants picking top three. And now I don't think the Giants are going to win a lot of games. Let me be very, very clear here. And I will say Tyrod Taylor. I know this is a shaky thing to say because people people are very strong about this or people are very against this. I think the offense has been a little better with Tyrod Taylor. Well, yeah, because he's pushing the ball down the field pretty fearlessly.

Right, right. So that's been a variable here that, like, I can't confidently say Daniel Jones takes the Bills down to the wire, and Daniel Jones always plays good against Washington. But once again, things have been better with Tyrod. I'm'm sure when Jones is healthy he's going to be the starter again so the Giants will win a couple more games and Roma Dunzey it's the same thing we say all the time about the Giants besides Darren Waller who I mean he's not a long-term piece for this he's a nice piece now and next year the Giants are very small at wide receiver. They are a very small team on the outside.

And Adunze is a big size speed guy. He can win down the field. He can go up and get the ball. This is a team that the vertical pass game has not been consistent with them. I do think that is in large part an offensive line and Daniel Jones problem. But I also don't think they have the weapons to really constantly push the ball down the field and Roma Dunzey is a great fit for that man I I really do love that I wasn't thinking about wide receiver just because I was thinking about how high they pick in the draft and not having the opportunity to pick Harrison

but in terms of this exercise like an ideal player if the Gi giants end up picking somewhere between i shoot it could be as high as you know eight eight to eight to fifteen whatever it is romo dunze is firmly in play for them and i think that that could be a lot of fun ultimately i i went with offensive tackle um i did olu for shano so this is like kind of like a double up for me because if the giants have the opportunity to take a player like this having andrew thomas on one side having olu for shano on the other it's a lot of the same thought process that I had with Arizona you're getting two young great high ceiling offensive tackles and this also allows you to bump Evan Neal inside like you can put Evan you could put Evan Neal at guard we're not like replacing him or anything because

I still think Evan Neal is talented he's's just struggling at tackle. And a lot of the issues that you have talked about that he had on his Alabama tape, he was winning because he's a smooth-moving big man, but a lot of the technique and how he went about winning at Alabama, it wasn't as consistent as it probably needed to be as we're seeing now at the NFL level. And NFL edge rushers, they're bigger, faster, stronger, yes,

but they're also more savvy you know they they know what they're doing they've got more of a pass rush plan so they're getting to what they want to do faster than Evan Neal's able to anticipate it or react to it so maybe that gets a little bit better at guard because the dude's still massive and moves very well you move him in a guard I think that this is still a potential ass kicker for you and then you got an offensive line that includes three first round picks. And it's hard for me to say that that's a bad situation for the Giants. And so when I look at them right now,

their offensive line is something that just has to get better. So I went with O-line. I went with Olufeshanu here for him. But Joe Alt as well in this conversation, I think Talize Fuaga from Oregon State, depending on where they end up picking, something along the offensive lines where I went for the Giants. What about the Patriots at six?

Okay, so the Patriots for me, Malik Neighbors, this is one of the easiest ones I did. Now, once again, for New England, you can look at quarterbacks. Once again, I don't think Mac Jones is some huge long-term answer for them, but I do think you could sit here and say New England.

It's the same thing. I always have an argument with New England. They line up on offense, and you go, what scares me? And the answer is always nothing, honestly. You look at their offense, and it's like, a dump down to Ramandre stevenson can he break some tackles maybe they get pop douglas going in this offense now that he's going to play a little bit more and kendrick bourne but no nobody on that roster is malik

neighbors explosiveness the ability to be dangerous with the ball in your hands this is the kind of wide receiver that they desperately need that they can funnel their pass game through yeah i i would malik is instantly like you just said the guy that you build that passing attack around this is the last time that i cheat in this exercise and my answer is drake may the patients because i agree with you i with you. I don't think that Mac Jones needs it. I think Drake May, Caleb Williams, J.J. McCarthy, one of those three dudes. Honestly, all of those three dudes to me are the ideal early look

at who you would want the Patriots to draft. And then after that, I agree with you, wide receiver is a great place to go. Malik Nabors is a great fit for this team. It makes a ton of sense. If they're sticking with Mac Jones, you go get a guy like that, and he absolutely takes over. But to be honest, the Patriots are sitting at six overall right now. I think it's realistic to think that they could be a top five team,

maybe more realistic that it's somewhere between five to ten. But I could see them getting aggressive. I really could see the Patriots for the first time in a long time, being the team that gets really aggressive in the draft to move up and go get that guy. That's going to be a franchise changer because, Hey, you brought it up when we were talking about whether it was a, what matters most or something with Mac Jones, you look at what the Patriots have been since Tom Brady and sure anybody that

loses Tom Brady, it's tough sledding. But there have been, it feels like quarterback after quarterback try for them, and they're at the point where Mac's been in and out of the lineup. Sure, he's coming off a really great game against Buffalo, but do we think this is the new identity Mac Jones? I don't, just from what I have seen in the past. So I went quarterback here. This is the last time I doubled up,

but I went Drake May again, just because if they're going to be within range of it, I think they're going to go for it. So that brings us to the Packers. Now also sitting in the top 10 right now. So this is where I went Olu Fashanet. And, you know, David Bakhtiari, he just, he hasn't been able to play.

It's awful. It stinks. The guy's a great player. They extended him, and his body's just kind of failed him, right? And I think that holding on to that, that he's their guy, that they can trust to be their left tackle, it's a lot to ask at this point now I know they have Rashid Walker I know they move Elton Jenkins all around and same with Zach Tom but this is you know an ideal fit for me and here's the reality with Green Bay right now they look really bad they look really bad where what are they they're, right? 2-5, and their schedule's been horrific.

They're 2-5, and they had a miracle comeback game against the Saints. This team should be 1-6. Right. This team should absolutely be 1-6. They beat the Bears week one, lost a close one to the Falcons. Like you said, the miracle against the Saints. They got smoked by the Lions. They lost to the Raiders, and they lost to the Broncos.

Would it shock me if they scratch and claw and get six wins or something? I mean, nothing does. The defense still has a lot of talent. I don't think it's a seven-win team. No, I don't see it a seven-win team either. And if not Olu, I mean, you could plug any of the first-round tackles in here, but this is where I went Olu, I mean, you could plug any of the first-round tackles in here, but this is where I went Olu. Having a franchise tackle for Jordan Love,

or whoever it may be in the future, was vital with Bakhtiari down. This is another team that will be in the Drake May type of sweepstakes that we don't know where they're going to finish. I didn't put him here just because I didn't want to put Drake May for five different teams, but I did want to mention like I've seen Packers fans talk about this and, you know, Jordan Love, I don't think has been the worst quarterback in the world, but has he been a quarterback that really gives you a lot of faith that, hey, this next year, the year after, whatever, he's going to figure it out and really ascend to that kind of level?

No, not yet. There's still time this season, but I think they're going to be because of their record in this Drake May conversation. But i also went with offensive tackle this is where i put all of their sorry this is where i put joe alt so i had joe all going to the pack for his very similar reasons like if if you're not taking a quarterback you're looking along the offensive line in some way shape or form and you know with bakhtiari's situation, you mentioned it, I think that that's probably the way that they would go. I think they've got safety needs as well, but I don't think many Packers fans are even

talking about safety needs right now, given the situation of their offensive line, given the situation with their quarterback. So yeah, guys like Cam Kinchens and Tyler Newbin from Miami and from Minnesota, like those are safety prospects that i think packers would love and those are other early fits for them not where they're picking currently in the first round and i don't think either of them make it to where they're picking at the top of the second round so safety is a little bit different of a conversation but just to expand it for for packers fans out there those are some names to know too what about the Vikings okay so the Vikings

uh this is where I went Michael Penix now we know that Kirk Cousins may or may not be there next year a lot of signs pointing to him not being there they will need a quarterback they are a team that as much as I thought the best thing for them would be being bad enough to get drake may i just don't see that with the vikings i really i mean they just beat the 49ers without justin jefferson and they play the it's wild when you say that out loud and then they play the packers this week if they beat the they beat the packers we had a oh god I gotta find it we have a article uh Timo wrote an article over at pff.com and it was talking about the differences in playoff percentages for teams with this upcoming week because there's a lot of teams that have a big swing if they win or lose and the

Vikings if they win this week Vikings go up to like 64% chance to make the playoffs. We were talking about this team having like the number two overall pick two weeks ago. And if they win this weekend, the simulation has them at a 64% chance to make the post season. It's kind of wild. It's kind of wild. What's happened with it. It is. It feels a little empty calories though. Like, okay. The team's good, but they're not like deep playoff run. Good.

You know, they play the Eagles. They play the Lions. Giants last year. Yeah, they're yeah, they're not going to. So anyways, they are they are going to be in a different section of quarterback shopping if that's what they have to do in the draft. Now, the good news is the Vikings have talent on their offensive line and they have a lot of talent at wide receiver that can play at all three levels of the field. So my thought is get a quarterback that thrives from the pocket that challenges every area of the field.

Thinking of Penix's arm, taking chances for Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and TJ Hawkinson, that in my eyes this could still be a high-flying offense with that move um who did I go with from Minnesota oh I went with JJ McCarthy a guy who I think is you had kind of the same thought right yes I think it is the same thought you know it's it's kind of just pick your flavor of quarterback that's not Drake May or Caleb Williams if you have a chance to pick those, you probably are, but Minnesota's not going to be in that spot. We know that. So, you know, man, I went back and I watched J.J. McCarthy's

most recent game this past weekend. And, you know, you could tell he just knew all the signs of the defense. No, sorry. What I meant to say was, no, he's playing really, really well, and he is just – he's got such great arm talent, man. There are some throws from last week's game that are just, they're just fucking seeds, man. It's like between two defenders that are within five feet of each other and the wide receiver sandwich between them and the ball is just going to a place where only the wide receiver could get it. He's throwing with

anticipation. When he throws that fastball, man, he's got so much good ball placement on it too when he's thrown with touch of course i think it's still a work in progress and he's not seeing things as quickly as he could still at this point but given how young he still is the progress that he has shown from last year to this year is so encouraging that he is going to continue to get better and the idea of him getting to work with kevin o'connell um who is a quarterback mind himself i think that that would be a great fit for them so i went with jj mccarthy for the vikings okay similar thought process for us there that brings us to the chargers god just this is where i went johnny newton same oh beautiful you love this you love when

a plan comes together yeah yeah same don't the chargers just need to be like more stout and tough on defense and that is everything johnny newton is yeah i do feel like i've had this conversation with them mock drafting for seven years to be honest with you all right I'm looking at their draft history right now we've been talking about them needing a big time interior defensive lineman for a while since before they took Jerry tillery where's the tiller draft is 2019 so yeah like okay after that but you know you look at their last couple of drafts here 2021 Rayshon Slater asante samu jr josh palmer good pick good picks i'm not hating on him 2022 zion johnson all right you're you're it's you're hitting the interior offensive line jt wood safety but that was a third round pick

isaiah spiller is a fourth round pick okay you're getting a little bit later anyways last year they go wide receiver they go quentin johnson you go tuli Tuli Pelotu. He's an edge. He's not an interior guy. And then Diane Henley after that in the third round. So it feels like we've been talking about interior defensive linemen for this team for three years, and they just, they have not addressed it. No, they haven't. And, I mean, pull up some of their, you know, you just pull up their unit right now, whether it's an Austin Johnson, Sebastian Joseph Day.

Like their interior is not a run stopping interior. It's not. And with Johnny, it's not like you're just taking a fat guy to stick in the middle. And this dude's got pass rush juice. Right. So it's clearly you and I were both very excited about the middle and this dude's got pass rush juice right so i it's clearly you and i were both very excited about the thought of this one yeah this one makes total sense to me i think that this is the the ideal fit for uh this is uh this is like the what was it the jalen hyatt

to the chargers kind of like connection that everybody wanted early just because it was the deep speed for the offense so uh this feels like we're going to be talking about Johnny Newton and the Chargers for a while. Tennessee Titans, now to round out the teams that are currently picking in the top 10. Titans, I went with Joe Alt. And what really needs to be said, your left side of the line can be Joe Alt and Skowronski.

Alt's amazing. They need a tackle. He is a tough guy in the trenches. He will fit their identity under Vrabel. This is one of the easiest ones I could have done. Oh, wait, before we move on from the Chargers, I did write down Brock Bowers for the Chargers. I mean, that's potential for the Chargers.

That's a vibe pick. Gerald Everett, free agent coming up, you know. Could be a solid vibe pick. So I just wanted to throw that just wanted donald parham just stands in the end zone waiting for the ball great living if you can make it i just want to make that clear get it it's good work like you're six foot eight and you could stand in the end zone and catch a football keep doing you yeah mean, we're not quite there. Being 6'4", 240, we're not quite Donald Parham. No, it's a shame. So I had the same thought process as you with the Tennessee Titans. I went offensive tackle, but I picked my boy Talese Fuaga

because he is that Tennessee Titans Mike Vrabel type of dude, man. Yes, he is. He is a mauler in the run game and he brings that strength power profile to how he goes about pass protection as well like to me this dude is a tennessee titan type of offensive lineman so i absolutely love this connection i think it makes a ton of fit not just for their needs but also the types of players that it feels like titans go after so huge need along the offensive line i think this is a perfect player for it. Also want to shout out though,

would love Malik neighbors in this offense. I think of Malik neighbors type of play. I know they got Hopkins. Burks is kind of a different style receiver, but man, I feel like Malik neighbors leads this team in targets and yards. If he, if he is on the Tennessee Titan.

So I'm going to FUGA, but shout out a potential wide receiver ad if they have that chance. Okay. I mean, I'll get, I'll get there. So saints. Yep.

Saints. I went with literally take everything you just said. I had the same thought process here and I went with JC Latham. Okay. All right. Here's the thing too. Are you replacing Trevor Penning? 100%.

They don't want to play Trevor Penning. They don't want to play Trevor Penning. It is unreal to watch how badly they don't want to play Trevor Penning. Not great. It's not good. It's not good. The milk is spilled. Don't run back to the island and slip just just just go just get the mop and replace it what a phrase i mean listen the milk is spilled don't go back to the island slip right like don't keep like don't do that we'll go into camp and

he's gonna get better and we're gonna start him again. And then Derek Carr is running for his life. Just JC Latham in this spot. I went the opposite side of trenches. Although I don't, I mean, I understand the logic that you have. I think the, I think we're, I think we're coming towards the end of the career for Cam Jordan. You know, like, I think we're, I think we're getting to that point carl granderson's playing like an absolute animal on the other side i mean like carl granderson has been insanely good this year but i do still think they need another top tier edge rusher player on that defensive line um i don't think that isaiah

foskey is going to be it you know they drafted isaiah foskey and i like him as kind of like a rotational edge player, but I think they need a guy who they can stamp as a full-time starter once Cam Jordan eventually retires. I mean, maybe it won't be for another 10 years. Who knows? Maybe this is just a waste. But I went with Latulatu, my guy from UCLA.

He's the first edge that I've got off the board here. So with him kind of still being available in this exercise, I think that makes a lot of sense. And Chop Robinson, his twitchy athleticism also fits the Saints profile and a kind of player that they gravitate towards so those two guys to me make a lot of sense I know Saints fans are not happy with Derek Carr and trust me I understand like they shouldn't be happy with Derek Carr but he's gonna be the starting quarterback of this team next year so I think that even if you were to say like even if we were to say in this exercise hey Bo Nix Michael Pettis whoever it's

gonna be like even throwing out JJ McCarthy's name let drafting him and then just like letting him sit I don't I just don't think that they would do that. I don't think that that's where they're at. So instead I went with a trench player. I went with Latu. Yeah, it makes, I get it. And Latu's talent. There's not going to be a lot of scenarios where I'm like, no, don't like that fit for Latu. I mean, he's, yeah, he's just too good of a pass rusher.

Vegas, Las Vegas Raiders are the next team here. Speaking of Derek Carr. Wow, look at that. I didn't realize that we had the... Transition. The Carr connection there from 11 to 12. All right, Raiders. I went with Cooper Djean.

All right, they need corner. Just a badass in the secondary, right? Yeah. I think with Cooper, he could play inside outside and safety i really do and you could if you're the raiders you're like wow cool we have a chess piece on the back end now so that this one for me was just getting a playmaker on the back end because you have max crosby up front you're hoping you're going to get more out of a guy in tyree wilson that you took with a top 10 pick but now you need you need playmaking talent on the back end of your defense yeah i don't hate the corner pick uh they definitely you could pick

coolie mckintry for this one yeah pick cooper dejean spin the wheel yeah i i definitely agree that that is definitely that is on the table i I went with Bo Nix just because of the, you know, I think they need a quarterback upgrade. I don't think the season's going to end very well for them. I think that McDaniels is going to be fired after this season. And I think that a new quarterback coach is going to come in and he's going to want his guy in there. And I don't think that it's going to be Jimmy Garoppolo.

And it's probably not going to be Aiden O'Connell either. So this is the landing spot that I have for Bo Nix. You're kind of starting over in a lot of ways on your offense. So that's probably, that's where I would go. I also have Jerson Newton. I got Johnny Newton here as a potential spot for them. Cause I also think that they really need help on the interior,

but I'm glad that you shouted out corner because I think that that's a, this is, this is a spot for them because I also think that they really need help on the interior. But I'm glad that you shouted out corner because I think that that's a this is a spot for one of if not the first corner to come off the board. There's there's no question about it.

Brock Bowers.

Fire it up. Oh, baby. You're telling me Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor. You're telling me a shrimp fried this rice? Yeah, there you go. Man, what an offense this would look like on paper. I mean, you got size at pass catcher in Pittman and Brock Bowers. You got an effective slot in Josh Downs. You have Richardson and Taylor and Zach Moss in the backfield.

Explosive offense. Indianapolis Colts. This is sick. I'm actually. Are you a little jealous of this one? Yeah, I'm pretty pissed. I'm actually mad. I don't get mad at you often for good pitch.

Yeah, I can see it in your face. I'm not going to lie. I'm pretty buttered about this one. I'm actually mad. I don't get mad at you often for good. Yeah, I can see it. I'm not going to lie. Like I'm pretty, I'm pretty buttered about this one. I went the same direction. I just went with wide receiver. Like I went with Malik neighbors for them. Cause I don't have a spot for Malik neighbors yet. So if they're picking anywhere towards the top 10, he's going to be near the top of the list. But Romo Dunze is somebody that you could absolutely pair with the, with the Indianapolis Colts. I think Keon Coleman's the same way. Just increasing the pass catching talent on this team is a theme that I've definitely seen Colts fans talk about.

Certainly on the mock draft machine, they are mocking that way. I believe Romo Dunzey is the number one selected player. And I think Keon Coleman is second. Yeah. I think the secondary could be a need for them as well. I like the way that Juju Brents is playing on the outside, but they could probably use another outside corner if they wanted to go that direction too. But it just feels as though a wide receiver is,

is the fan favorite. So I kind of gave the people what they wanted and I give them Malik neighbors. I thought about that too. It just, it just felt so much more fun. No, your pick is better. Look, I'm mad about it. I don't know how many times you want me to, you want me to say it, but yeah, the pick is,

the pick is better. Let's go to the commanders. All right, let's go to the commanders. You want to talk about going back to being boring, watching paint dry on the wall. Bo Nix, the commanders. Okay, listen, let's get an adult under center.

I like Sam Howell. I really do. I, listen, let's get an adult under center. I like Sam Howell. I really do. I, I, I'm rooting for Sam Howell. I really am. I'm nervous that he's going to be sacked 700 times this year, which is what he's on pace for right now. That little, that little, he is holding the ball while he's made some really big plays.

He's made some dumb plays for. He's made some dumb plays. For me, with this offense under Bien-Ami, it feels like they need a point guard with the talent they have, whether it's Terry McLaurin and John Dotson. Bo Nix is a point guard at quarterback to me. That's kind of why I went with a floor spot here. I agree. You know what I think about Nix. I had him going a couple of picks earlier, but I think this would be a really solid spot for him as well. It's getting harder for me to believe that the current coaching regime in

Washington is going to survive this season. So I don't know who's going to be in there at head coach. It could be somebody who would really want to run a dual threat kind of game that I think Bo Nix is able to bring to the table. He's got good athleticism as well. So he's not just this statue in the pocket. He's somebody who you mentioned, he's a point guard with how he can distribute the football.

You know, I think a lot of people look at what Bo Nix does at Oregon. They're like, Oh, you know, he's just a screen merchant. He's a, he's a,

he's a short pass guy. And like, sure. A lot of their offense is that, but he delivers those passes very, very accurately. And then a lot of times when he has asked to push it down the field, now it's, he is not asked to do that as much as Michael Penix is. So their tape is going to look different.

But when Nick's has been asked to do that over the last couple of years, he has been successful at it he shows you that velocity he shows you that distance he shows you that ability to place the ball at the sideline in rhythm getting guys in stride 15 20 25 30 yards down the field whatever it is and he's got a very he's got a few but he's got some bomb passes over the last couple of years too that he's been able to hit or at least they look good when it's coming out of his hand so um i i just think the bonics gets a bad rap in this class again i i get it because the auburn he sucked at auburn and he did he's just a different quarterback now i think you got to look at it through a different lens i didn't have to wait long to get brock bowers off the board this

is my brock bauer spot and i still like it for the commanders you know you've got terry mclaurin you've got johan dotson um you've got curtis samuel but then adding brock bowers into that mix gives you this reliable strong after the catch kind of dude that you can play in the middle that can be a massive part of the uh between that between the ashes part of your passing game i think so would love brock bowers and that's my pick here for Washington. We got the Rams up next to 15. Who you got?

All right. For the Rams in this spot, I went with layout to lot to here. You can never have enough pass rush. I know they're getting some production out of Byron young right now, which is good to see, but for the Rams, this whole retool starts in the trenches. Nice pick in Steve Avila. Nice pick in Byron Young.

Keep that going with what I think is the most technically polished pass rusher in the draft right now in Law 2. Yep, I would agree. I went with Jared Verse. I think that the edge rush need is a big one for them. I like the idea. Well, certainly if Law 2 is on the board, it'd take Law 2. But of the edge rushers that are kind of left, him, Dallas Turner,

I think is another one that comes to mind. Chop Robinson is still around. I'd pick Verst because he does give you that power profile. He's somebody who will hit somebody in the mouth. And I think they've got Byron Young on one side, and he's a really nice stand-up explosive pass rusher. And I think you can have a player who is a little bit more hand in the dirt, a little bit more of a five technique, kind of set the line of scrimmage,

edge rusher on the other side in verse. So that's why I went with verse, but I do agree with you. I think that edge rusher is where you look if you're the Rams. Okay, that takes us to the Jets. Who you got for the Jets? It's offensive tackle for me. You know, I think you and I have had conversations about what the Jets could potentially do

if they're picking higher than this. If you have the opportunity to pick like a J.J. McCarthy or a Bo Nix or a Michael Penix, like, do you do it? Do you stash one of those guys for one year behind Aaron Rodgers? And then you've got the guy in the building already. I don't know to me I feel like you only do that if you feel like you have a we're never going to pick this high again type of a chance like if they end up picking sixth overall or something maybe you end up doing that but with them picking kind of in the middle of the pack here right now i go offensive line uh and i go offensive tackle i'm doing offensive tackle one way or another to me

it's either talize fuaga if he is here um or jc latham i guess i lied on my sheet i i ended up picking talize fuaga because i because i like him and him and I want you as my friend to be happy because he's going to be great on the other side of Mekhi Becton. It's awesome. Either one of those guys, Fuaga, JC Latham, I like the offensive tackle strategy here for the Jets. So here's where I was, number one, I wanted a little fun because I feel like for the Jets, all they've heard about is tackle for so long and it's still a need.

It is interesting to see on paper what they look like going into free agency because Mekhi Becton's been very good at left tackle for them this year and healthy. They have apparently told Elijah Vera Tucker, or it sounds like they've made it clear to Elijah Vera Tucker that right tackle will be his home after they moved him off a guard. Oh, okay. So I was wondering if they were just going to keep him at guard. Right. They do that every year. They get into camp, they put him at guard,

and then somebody gets hurt and he needs to play tackle, and he's really good at tackle. Yeah, he's good at it. Shocked. Right, right. The Titans are going to do the same shit with Skowronski. 100%. 100%, which was actually my comparison for Skowronski was AVT,

and it feels like they're going to have the same careers in that regard. But I don't think you're crazy for taking one of those guys because it could just be talent, and they could play AVT at guard again. They might lose Becton in free agency. You never know how these things will shake out. So with my thought of, okay, you retain Becton, and AVT is going to be right tackle, so there's your tackles, which is the scary thing about that is that it a very injury prone tackle tandem. As much as the

upside of that tackle tandem is awesome. It's a very injury prone tackle tandem. I also went with the need at wide receiver here and went with Keon Coleman because you watch this offense and outside of Garrett Wilson, like Randall Cobb can't run away from anyone, obviously. Lazard's fine in his role, right? Lazard is this big blocking receiver that could be a possession player at times. But they need a jump ball, big bodied red zone target. So for me, it was whoever I had, like at this point i had a dunes a gone marvin harrison gone obviously neighbors is gone just get a freak in a contested catch situation and that's keon

coleman to me all right well yeah i mean i'm not gonna fight you too much on that that's that's a lot of fun to think about keon coleman in that offense especially with keon coleman and aaron rogers and garrett wilson too that's that, that's awesome. Cincinnati Bengals are currently picking at 18. I went with, because Johnny Newton's off the board, and I would have liked Johnny Newton better in this spot, but I went with Leonard Taylor from Miami because they could lose DJ Reader in free agency coming up. I think BJ Hill's contract, he's got one more year on his contract, but he's also kind of cuttable after this year if they wanted to do that. So it feels like they might be retooling that interior of their defensive line.

And Newton, I think, gives you a higher floor, certainly as a run defender. Leonard Taylor has shown the flashes of pass rush have been top tier for him, but he's still working on being consistent. But yeah, we've talked about before, man. It's just so athletically gifted that drafting a player like that and putting him on a defense that's already got really good edge play, really good linebacker play, really good defense overall, I think could be a really nice spot for Leonard Taylor.

So that's where I went with Taylor. So I went with your boy here in Fuaga, in Talese Fuaga. Oh, man. Yeah, let's go. I love this. This is a great spot. Right. For the Bengals, I mean, you get a right tackle that is just a total ass kicker in the run game. And now you have two hulking tackles that can move bodies off the line of scrimmage. And you play him a right tackle. Obviously, this is great news for Joe Burrow.

He's one of the biggest risers of the year, I would say, right? Fuaga? Oh, 100%. Yes. And he was good. Yeah. I didn't mean to cut you off, but he was good last year. Yeah, he was on our list.

Nobody was really talking about him going into the year. And I think he's a legit first-round type of offensive tackle. I think so, too. You were the first person to text me about him going into the year. And I think he's a legit first round type of offense attack. I think so too. You were the first person to text me about him this season. And then I would say about a month later from that text, I started to get the chatter from people in the league. And I'm like, but this, like this is the dude that's just shooting up or everybody's on him now.

It's no, he's no secret anymore. So if Waga would be a first round pick for the Bengals, I think him and xavier leggett are the two players who have just like skyrocketed this year leggett maybe more than fuaga just because leggett was like i don't know maybe a day three pick going into this year and now he might be a first round pick i mean we're gonna get going to get to his name, you know, not too far after this. So what are you talking about? Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they're at number 19. There's a handful of ways to think it go, right? I mean, you could, I could have gone with Michael Penix here

with a potential quarterback angle. If they have the chance to pick Brock Bowers, they should sprint to the podium. And I just mean like Usain Bolt sprint the second they get on the clock. But I've got him off the board in this exercise. And if they're picking this high, I don't think they have a chance at that. So ultimately, I went with Graham Barton. I think that Cody Mock is going to be fine at interior offensive line.

He's struggling this year because he's coming over from playing tackle. He's still gaining weight. He's still gaining strength. I think he'll be fine at right guard you put graham barton next either next to tristan werf's at left guard or graham barton could potentially be a center at the nfl level i think that he could be a damn good center that's all of a sudden the outlook for the offensive line is very different when you can plug him in there so my top interior offensive lineman in this draft is Graham Barton. And that's where I'm going with Tampa, who desperately has to get better along the interior offensive line. So for them, I went shop Robinson, get an edge pass

rusher in there. Tampa's in a weird spot, edge pass rush, because they've aged a little bit there and they also haven't gotten the production I think they were hoping for out of some of the guys they've taken in this spot. And Canty looks great on the interior. So I would take another swing at edge. Chops explosive. He could bend. He plays a really, really good leverage.

It's almost like you're trying to find your next Shaq Barrett with this pick. Yeah, no, and I would agree with that. I think Joe Triancho- Inca has been fine for them, but he hasn't necessarily been that next step type of a pass rusher. He still can be, but he has not yet. So I think that an edge rusher is in the conversation for them. This podcast is brought to you by our friends over at PrizePix.

Atlanta Falcons. Who is their early prospect you like for the Atlanta Falcons? You want to get back to having some fun? No, I hate fun. Jaden Daniels. Oh! What? You madman!

I know. Mad scientist. Let's go, baby! I know. Just for Arthur Smith to taylor heineke over him no i'm just kidding well not really i'm really not kidding no but so i mean it would happen yeah i hate it but it would happen i know there's still some people out there that believe in in ritter holding this job and I mean sure it's I'm not writing off Ritter entirely I wasn't his biggest pre-draft fan and I think it's been a little bit of a tough first year for him although he's shown some improvement but with Jaden Daniels it just expands what your offense can be right that's the thing is that you

have a legitimate runner not a scrambler a runner and you have a guy that could throw down the field to Drake London and Kyle Pitts. So how much this offense would expand with him at quarterback to me with all the weapons they have would be incredibly explosive. Yeah, so I have Michael Penix. We have the same thought process.

I've got Michael Penix here. I would actually like Bo Nix more because of that dual threat ability. Like the reason why I think that they liked Marcus Mariota when they brought him in is because Mariota gave them that dual threat from the quarterback position. And I think that same thought process goes into why Daniels is also a fun prospect fit for the Falcons that not a lot of people are talking about. So I like those two. I already had Knicks off the board. I didn't have Daniels in this exercise, but I love that you did. And so I just kind of went with Pennix, but

ultimately kind of we're on the same train. It's not that Ritter has not done anything well. I just don't know if he's going to be that guy I have my doubts right now so with the way things currently stand I like a quarterback best for them I really do they can get younger on the defensive side of the ball as well you pick a couple of different spots for them but ultimately I think all eyes are going to be on that quarterback position especially for what they have invested in the offense right they've they've, they've Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson. You want to go even further? Matthew Bergeron, right?

Like they've invested so much into that offense. You better be sure you got the quarterback. It's not like, yeah, I mean, Ritter hasn't been the worst. I don't want, hasn't been the worst. Right. That's exactly. You've invested, you have invested too much in that offense to settle for hasn't been the worst and if that's the feeling that we have about him at the end of the season we're going to be talking about quarterbacks for the falcons 21 it's the buffalo

bills who we got all right for the bills i went with tyler newbin here nice the bills got old at safety fast and bills fans will be the first to tell you those guys have had an incredible run I'm talking about Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde an incredible run back there you just you see them aging it's it's bound to happen and even if those guys are still playing for them next year this could even be a pick that a guy that with Newman's range and IQ he could easily be a effective third safety what they wanted when they got taylor rapp in the offseason this year but he's a long-term starter he could play any role at safety you ask of him i love tyler newman i think that this is a really

good call out by you because i ended up going a different direction. But one of the talking points that I had was that Cam Kinchens from Miami was somebody that I would consider here because of the reasons that you mentioned. I think that they will be in need of a high impact safety. They don't want to lose what Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer have meant to that team. They don't want to see that position fall off a cliff in any way. And I'm not saying that it has yet, but they don't want to get to that point. So investing in some really talented players like Cam Kitchens or Tyler Newbitt makes sense. Ultimately, I went with Keon Coleman.

I went with wide receiver. I was recently on a Buffalo Bills show. They were talking about some of the mock draft stuff. And when we were discussing prospects, they said, when are we going to get a wide receiver mocked to the Buffalo Bills show. They were talking about some of the mock draft stuff. And when we were discussing prospects, they said, when are we going to get a wide receiver mocked to the Buffalo Bills? They're like, it's always safety. It's been safety so far. And I think safety is obviously a good pick.

But just for those guys, I'm giving them a wide receiver here because I do think they need it. I think they need another big-time wide receiver opposite Stefan Diggs. And so, yeah, an offense with Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman, needed i think they need another big time wide receiver um opposite stefan diggs and so yeah an offense with stefan diggs and gabe davis and keon coleman and uh and uh dawson knox and dalton kincaid like phew josh i want to throw in the football that's a lot of weapons my friend so i went with keon coleman for the bills right and i mean there's something to the fact that Gabe Davis will, yes, Gabe Davis is a free agent after this year. Yeah, yeah, okay, all right.

I mean, listen, I'm in on your pick there. So Cowboys are our next team here. This is where I went with Xavier Leguette because when you watch the Cowboys, Cooks is fine at this stage of his career. CD is a star. Gallup, I always say this, and then he finally has a good week after I say it, but Gallup has not been what Gallup was when he got hurt,

like since he got hurt and came back from that and they paid him. Leggett brings that nature to their offensive. Let me get the ball in his hands and he could debo this kind of play. Like he can break three tackles and just run a hundred miles an hour down the field. So for the Cowboys, I still think they need more pass catching talent and size and speed. And he checks all those boxes. Damn.

I'm looking at the cowboys free agent because i didn't think any of those guys were free agents upcoming and they're not um but they've got tony pollard stefan gilmore tyrant smith up this year and then next year 2025 is not only brandon cooks and CeeDee Lamb, but also Dak Prescott, Zach Martin, Demarcus Lawrence, Micah Parsons. Dang. This Cowboys team, they're going to have to make a lot of decisions. They're going to have to make decisions this offseason

for what they can do next offseason as well. So on the surface level, when you said wide receiver, I was like, I don't know about that. It's closer than you think. It is certainly closer than I think. I went with corner here, and I went with a player who, Connor, I recently rewatched Nate Wiggins from Clemson since he kind of came back from his injury,

and Nate Wiggins could very well be CB1 in this class. He's looked really good. I still like Kool-Aid McKinstry a lot because I feel like he is just such a calculated, smart cornerback. But the physical gifts and the movement skills that Wiggins has, the way that I explain it is, I don't know if there's anybody in this class more suited for a coach to say, see that wide receiver? Go make sure he doesn't catch the football than Nate Wiggins.

And when you have that kind of title to you, you've got the opportunity to be the top corner off the draft. I even feel like he's played with strength a little bit better than he did last year, which was a big concern of ours going into the year with him being six foot two and only 185 pounds. So man, I just kind of wanted to shout him out. I gave him to the Cowboys here, getting another corner opposite Trayvon Diggs. Whoo. Nate Wiggins and Trayvon Diggs. That'd be a hell of a fun cornerback duo, but just also wanted to shout out how good Wiggins has been playing this year

and how I want to get it on people's radar he could be cv1 in this draft he really could he really could no doubt he's um the size and athleticism is there for him to make that jump so then we go to the steelers at 23 i'm gonna check okay so i pulled a trevor here and i did double up on this one. Wow. What did that pull? That's pulling a me? That's what I'm known for?

That's my legacy? That's your podcast legacy. Loving a fit twice. Oh, man. Real shameful. He loved prospects too much. Man, I kept Cooper Dijon in the same colors. Oh, so did I.

I have Cooper Dijon for the Steelers. Oh, so did I. I have Cooper DeGene for the Steelers. It's just too easy, this one. Number one, I actually think Joey Porter's played well as a rookie this year, but they need more in the secondary. It can't be Porter and Minka. And Cooper DeGene is that chess piece of the secondary. It's such a dumb thing that we do but it's still i still you know see it like he's a stealer like he's a stealer he's in that afc north rivalry

with the ravens he's every year that mold so we need we need it we need to keep this bit going where every year we have the he just looks like a baltimore raven yeah yep we did we need to we need to keep that going this year so i i don't i i'm not i'm saying we're the first people to ever do that because it feels like it's very common with the ravens but we need to make that an official but we at least say out loud that like how ridiculous it is us saying that yeah we're still gonna say it oh it's true though you know it can be ridiculous but it's true yeah joey porter jr he's been playing well we didn't really give him the shout out that he deserved on the all-rookie team i wasn't going to pick him over devon witherspoon

or christian gonzalez and we talked about those guys but porter jr has a field right he has had some really nice plays he really has but i mean patrick peterson he's his age is showing levi wallace i it's i don't think that he's a starting caliber cornerback or at least hasn't played like it recently so you're gonna need to get younger anyways i like cooper gene as well i think that this one uh makes sense beyond just him continuing to wear black and gold uh houston texans sitting here at number 24 who you got for the texans so for the texans let me get down to my list here. I had Emeka Ibuka, which is, you know, reuniting him with CJ Stroud, where he was a really effective wide receiver.

The Texans are becoming a fun team to blueprint. They have it at quarterback. They have it at head coach. They have it at offensive coordinator. And you look at their offense. Nico Collins is a really effective size possession kind of receiver. Tank Dale can be your gadget, explosive player. They got this in Robert Woods,

but they know it's like the end of Robert Woods' effectiveness. They have a technician, right? Like you look at Stroud. Stroud is so effective in rhythm and accuracy and timing. And Emeka Ibuka is a polished route runner that can eat up zone, that has strong hands, that always understands spacing and tempo. And that's why they worked so well together last year.

So you get a technician in what looks like a skill group that is trending the right way for the Houston Texans. Yeah, I like this connection a lot. I think that it makes a ton of sense, especially if you're moving on from Robert Woods. You could put Emeka Igbuka in the slot. You could put him outside. There's a lot of versatility

that you could have there with Tank Dell. Ultimately, I don't think that Dell can be his most effective as an outside receiver. So I went with A.D. Mitchell. I went with the wide receiver from Texas, who I really like a lot, who if you put Nico Collins and AD Mitchell as your outside receivers,

and you let Tank and his elite stop, start, change of direction ability to have those two-way goes and find that space over the middle, that acceleration as well man i know that him playing in the slot kind of opens him up to having to catch through contact a lot because there's just more players there but to me that is a formula that was very attractive to me the igbuka one does make a lot of sense but i ended up going with ad mitchell because it's more of a big bodied guy on the outside who I still think can be a really great route runner, really good red zone threat. I looked this up earlier this morning

because I was very curious. In the last 10 games that AD Mitchell has started, which goes back to the beginning of 2020 too, because he was hurt a lot last year. But if you just take the last 10 games that he has started, he's scored eight touchdowns in 10 games like he's just been automatic when it comes to scoring touchdowns and you know not because it is but scoring touchdowns kind of important in the game football so ad mitchell knows how to do it pretty well so he's who i went with there um what team we got next oh seahawks seattle seahawks next yeah yep seattle i went went Jared verse I know you had him for the Rams we're just you know clearly intent on putting Jared verse uh in the NFC West at this point Seattle you know what Seattle you look at they've taken a lot of guys for their front over the years

and some of them have been fine and I my thing is pass rush now it's almost become like the front three of a starting rotation. You need the third guy. That's like that plays to a starters level. Right. Yeah. And Seattle, I think is okay in this group, but they need more. And I think verse can be a star. And I don't know if any of Seattle's edge pass rushers right now are going to be a star.

They might be the running mates to the star. And I think verse also fits the kind of athlete that they crave for their front seven. rushers right now are going to be a star they might be the running mates to the star and i think verse also fits the kind of athlete that they crave for their front seven i think mafe has been playing pretty pretty well he's been solid yeah from everything that i have from everything that i've seen this season um i haven't gone through to really watch his tape but it seems like there's been some really good reports out of Mafe. They've got Nwosu as well, but I do agree with you. We just got hurt, I think. That's a tough blow for them. It can't

just be, oh, we've got two edge rushers. We're good to go. I gave them Dallas Turner here because I think that they would love Turner because he is more of that stand-up, kind of outside linebacker type of rusher. I almost went there. I'm with you. No, we were close. I think that we were close to that. Versus probably still left on the board.

And obviously like you're a big verse guy as a lot of people are. So it makes a ton of sense. I think Leonard Taylor's also in consideration for this spot. This is a team that a lot of people thought that Jalen Carter could have gone to, you know, when they picked up on Witherspoon, they could have picked Carter. Cause they really needed that interior pass rush presence. And I still don't really think they have that to the level they want.

So if Leonard Taylor is on the board, I think that he's also in consideration, but my eyes just kept going back to defensive line. I went with Turner, but I think it's kind of an overall who's just the best player on the board there for them whenever they're going to come on the clock. Lions next up Lions. I went with Kool-Aid McKinstry here, and I really like your idea of Wiggins. I mean,

you could really flip a coin here for either of these guys. Just get a corner with some size and outside corner the Lions. And it's, you know, sure, they had a they had a stinker against Baltimore. It's going to happen. Overall, this defense has been really good this year. They have a star up front, Naden Hutchinson. Brian Branch has been phenomenal as their nickel, but they still need another long-term outside corner, and Kool-Aid has been one of the top corners in this draft. Yeah.

You saying, because I had corner for them, but I didn't have Kool-Aie mckinstry and when you said mckinstry i was like did i have him on the list and i'm looking at my entire list and no i i had talked about him like he was player two and player three for a couple of these teams but he wasn't player one so i made the cut i'm gonna copy you here and i like this is the pick if coolie mckinstry is obviously still something that we haven't done or that I haven't named yet, this would be a player for the Lions, no doubt about it.

Not so sure that he lasts until this long. So maybe a Kamari Lassiter from Georgia, Josh Newton from TCU, maybe Kalen King, although, man, I just don't know what to think about Kalen King right now. He's going to be a funky evaluation from penn state i mean just truly elite single coverage tape from last year and i know marvin harrison jr gets everybody right his mentality and approach to covering marvin harrison jr was what worried me the most this past weekend. Like, he was scared.

He was hesitant. And that is a, man, that is a toxic thing for cornerbacks. When you start letting yourself, like, have that doubt and have that hesitation, man, corner is unfortunately a position that just commands so much mental toughness. It's like base. It's like the baseball thing, right? You know, you're going to fail more than you're going to succeed,

but you got to still go out there and be able to think that you're going to succeed against anybody every time he gets to the plate. And with corner, it's very similar. You know, you're going to give up big plays, but you got to be able to just be like, ah, he got me. I'm going to get him on his next one. And for King, that was the part that really worried me the most, watching him against Harrison.

And then you go back and you watch some other tape from earlier this year, and he's looked more reckless this year, just not as controlled as he was the previous season. And I don't really know why. But right now that tape is night and day. And so like I had him in this spot just because back into the first round is more realistic than top end of the first round at that point. But I agree with you.

I think Kool-Aid would be a great, great pick for the Lions. What about Jags at 27? Jags at 27. Admittedly the one I struggled the most with. So I always default to let's just have a little fun here and I went with Xavier Worthy because now this could also be you know day two situation with Jacksonville they have a lot of pass catching talent they have Ridley they extended

Ingram Zay Jones we'll see how long he's he's not there forever when you look at his contract Christian Kirk obviously he's going to be there next year this to me would be for as his rookie season worthy is your deep threat that's going to play in packages and then year two he's replacing somebody that's if you're moving money off the table and getting younger when Trevor Lawrence can throw vertical in this offense it's a lot of fun to watch and that's what worthy exists for I think when we redo this exercise and go like perfect fit there will be a need that stands out to me more with Jacksonville I think their defense is pretty well rounded I think their offensive

line they just invested a first round in Anton Harrison we'll see what their future is pretty well rounded. I think their offensive line, they just invested a first round in Anton Harrison. We'll see what their future is on the other parts. Part of me almost put Cedric Von Prawn here. Fortner has been up and down, but he's had some really good moments for a third rounder as well. So I didn't want to just completely kick him out. That didn't make a lot of sense. So I went with kind of almost a luxury pick for Trevor Lawrence. Yeah. I mean, it's hard to see a spot for Xavier Worthy in a mock draft and be like, yeah, I don't like that. You know, he's just – Yeah, because his speed is so tantalizing.

It's something that every team is going to want to covet. So I ultimately – You know, I think Andre Sisco has been playing really well this year at the safety spot. I actually love Sisco coming out of the draft, so it's great to kind of like see him playing been playing really well this year at the safety spot. I actually love Cisco coming out of the draft. So it's great to kind of like see him playing really, really well. Baller before he got hurt, right? If I remember correctly, he had,

he had been hurt and he was even hurt at Syracuse. That's what I mean. But yeah, in and around his injuries. I mean, he was awesome. So it's great to see that he's playing well. Speaking of which Syracuse secondary, Garrett Williams makes his first start and gets the interception.

Oh, did he? I didn't even see that. I totally missed that. Yeah, Arizona activated him because of a retours ACL at Syracuse, and he had a pick on a – Syracuse had a weird run of secondary talent. Football player, man. Yeah. Good football player. Yeah, I was happy for him.

I went with Tyler Newben to play with Andre Sisco in that secondary. I think just defensive back overall, it could go with corner. That feels like a spot where the Jags could really target that on draft weekend early on. Rayshon Jenkins, he's got one extra. He's under contract through 2024, but I think they save about $5 million, $6 million on the cap if they end up moving on from him.

He turns 30 this offseason. So if it's something that they save about five, 6 million on the cap. If they end up moving on from him, he turns 30 this off season. So if it's something that they want to do, if he's not playing as well as they want by the end of the season, I think Tyler Newman could be a great addition to that secondary and, and form a really great duo with him and Cisco Ravens at 28, who we got. I went with TJ Tampa in this spot. And this also goes back to the,

it's my boy, you know, Wiggins, that kind of a corner, a long corner here. They have Marlon Humphrey. They have some corner town, but they've also dealt with a lot of injuries here.

This is the really good defense right now. They got speed in the middle of the field. They're playing very stout up front. At the end of the day, I playing very stout up front at the end of the day i still think they need young corner depth and i think tampa fits the kind of player from a traits perspective that they like at the position i want kamari lassiter for a lot of the same reasons last year's playing really well uh he's there that top cover corner now for georgia and yeah i think the tape that has impressed me most with with last Lasseter this season is when Georgia played South Carolina and he went up against Xavier Leggett and Leggett is one of

the most physical receivers in the country. He's one of the most physical receivers that we have in this draft class. And Lasseter was not afraid of a man. I think it's a little bit easier when you're playing at home, you know, and you're on the defense side of the football, you got the crowd on your side to play confident, to play strong, but he still did, and I won't take it away from him. He played very, very well that game. He's been playing really well this season. So, Lassiter, I won't say that he just feels like a Baltimore Raven, but we're getting there.

There are hints of it. We might be saying that by the time it's all said and done. Miami Dolphins at 29, who you got? All right, so for the Dolphins, I went with the Marius Mims. As did I. As did I. It's like we podcast together multiple times a week. Big, giant, fast athlete at the position they need most.

What else do you want? It's really unbelievable. It's really unbelievable. Like, I find this so incredible because we're at the end of the podcast. Like, this is where you could just throw a dart at the board for the dolphins here. And we went with the same exact player. I don't even need to go further than where you already went.

It's that simple for the dolphins line. Yeah. A little tempted by Barrett Carter here, just cause it's like, he's just such a crazy athlete that if you're going to do anything else, maybe for Miami, if you're going to veer from offensive line at all whatsoever, I feel like maybe linebacker is that spot.

And if they like Carter enough, if he plays well enough down the stretch here to be a first round linebacker, maybe you go there just because he fits that profile more speed on the field. But if not, I just a crazy athlete with a marius mims and wherever the dolphins end up picking i think that they would love to get their hands on this guy there's

there is no question about that uh who we got next who is who's the oh 49ers san francisco 49ers 49ers i had to go offensive line and i went with your boy Graham Barton for the flexibility um inside outside this is a unit that they they need some young talent and you've seen some of the talent they've lost over the years but the Niners are a total chalk pick for offensive line grab the best one here we've had a lot of them go off the board but I like that I like Barton's fit on the interior for them as well. I have them getting, I have them with Patrick Paul. You put Patrick Paul on one side, put Trent Williams on the other. It's just two giants that are on the other sides of these offensive line.

You know, I think that everybody is kind of in the conversation for offensive line. You know, you can throw Jordan Morgan in there, but JC Latham, Amarius Mims, wherever the Niners end up picking, I offensive tackle is going to be pretty high for him but look at the defense side of things and like i think they're all right like maybe corner but yeah i i almost did the same and i'm like yeah not really like sure if that's the best player yeah i was just thinking of like all right where maybe where else would you go here and that was corner was the only other spot yeah i think this this would be a good spot for like kaylin king to go because you probably wouldn't have to start him right away but you know he's got a ton of talent so he's a good spot for tj tampa as well but you know hey look we'll get another tj

tampa shout out because i'll get to that in a second we got a couple of teams left but we're brought to you today by our friends over at manscaped who's taking a step up from ball of wean to bring your face the cleanest shave that it has ever seen this season there's no need to toil and trouble manscaped's all new handyman is the best way to get rid of that stubble featuring a compact design and next gen skin safe technology the handyman was designed to give you a smooth finish without the mess of a traditional shave get the sweetest treat this halloween by going to manscape.com using the promo code pff and 20 off that'll get you free shipping as well talk about this all the time but i'm somebody who i don't go clean shave and i just like to trim the beard up

Got four more teams starting right here with the Kansas City Chiefs. What we got is the early prospect for the Chiefs, Connor.

Dallas Turner. It feels like they're missing this kind of edge player right now. A stand-up guy with speed and twitch and burst and their defense is solid but and i know you know this has been what frank clark has been for them but i'm i'm looking to get younger here in the spot and turner to me gives them a little bit more juice at pass rusher that they've been lacking on the edge. I feel like that could be alleviated when Charles Amenahu comes back, but... Turner's pretty freaky, though. It's not like it makes Turner a bad pick. I just wanted to shout that out.

Yeah, that's a good call. Once he comes back. I went with wide receiver i think a lot of people look at the chiefs and they give them like a mecca bucca i think is a common pick for them you know i think i've seen xavier worthy as well i look at this offense and i say okay they've got a lot of smaller receivers right like they've got sky more rishi rice marquez valdez scantling and the the power like contest to catch red zone threat kind of a dude is travis kelsey they got no gray in the offense as well but

xavier laguette on this team to me that gives you like another skyscraper contested catch beast that you don't have outside of what travis's and even Travis Kelsey right now. Like, yeah, I'm not saying the guy doesn't catch your contact or anything, but he's so much more savvy these days. You know, he is finding that open space. He's getting those yards after catch. Sometimes you just got to throw it up and let a guy do his thing, getting a ball over a corner. And I think Xavier Gleget does that really well.

And not many players on the chiefs receiving court do. So would to see what patrick mahomes is able to do with a guy who's as good at contested catching as xavier laguette has been for south carolina this year philadelphia eagles at 32. junior colson speed in the middle of the field getting them in there nice he's he's been awesome this year i love watching him in the Michigan defense. This is my favorite time of the show where everybody tells me how he'll never invest in a linebacker. And I respond by, maybe if he did, you're not playing Zach Cunningham in a season you're trying to win a Super Bowl. Hey, go doors.

Go doors. There we go. Vanderbilt Commodore. This is where I put your boy TJ Tampa, right? I mean, we kind of had a scare last year. It was like, all right, Darius Slay's gone we kind of had a scare last year it was like all right darius slay's gone no what was it first it was all right james bradbury's gone all right we're resigning him darius slay's gonna be on wait a second okay now darius slay's back so it's

like sweet like a goodbye uh yeah i can't remember what it was but it was like at one point in the off season it was like all right they're not gonna have bradbury and then another point it was like all right they're not gonna have slay and now here both of them are back for another super bowl run we think he did say goodbye yeah so uh tj tamp i think man he would he would be fantastic for the eagles whether or not they have either of these guys or not like the size iowa state cornerback if you haven't watched him yet six foot two over 200 pounds he's got really good instincts in off coverage but he's got that physical profile to be able to play press man as well. He has a fantastic coverage grade, 88.2 coverage grade this season,

which is a career high, but it's not like it's a career high way out of nowhere. I mean, he had a coverage grade in the 80s last year. A ton of forced incompletions. I think he almost has 20 forced incompletions over the last two years just because of those long arms and how physical he plays. So, man, I think that Howie roseman will have done it again if he's able to get a guy like tj tampa but hey some of the other corners that we mentioned josh newton kamari laster i think that they would be in play here too going to the second round we got two teams that are picking for the

first time outside of round one not for the first time ever but for the first time uh here in this exercise outside of round one it starts with the car time ever, but for the first time here in this exercise, outside of round one, it starts with the Carolina Panthers. Who is their early prospect fit that you like here for the Panthers? Lad McConkie. Get out of town! Let's go! Lad McConkie

to the Panthers. Give them some speed. Give them some reliability. I actually think the Panthers should trade for Hunter Renfro at the deadline. So, like, I kind of feel you here. Yeah. And McConkie's got juice, man. He could actually run down the field.

Tell me that Hunter Renfro doesn't lead this team in targets every week if they make this trade. Oh, he's 11 targets written in ink all the time. He'd be the quickest fantasy waiver wire, blow the fab budget. He's getting five catches for 54 yards every single week. Seven catches for 54 yards every single week. 17 catches is what you mean. He's going to Alvin Kamara.

They would rename this guy Hunter Cooper Puka Nakua Cup Renfro that would that would be that would be this man's name if he was a hunter Renfro so that is that is hilarious I actually like I mean that's a good fit I really do like it I have Xavier Worthy here I think the fit would be fantastic obviously getting Xavier Worthy speed into this Carolina Panthers receiving core. You had him going earlier than this. I think chances are he will probably go somewhere in the first round, but I wanted to shout it out because I like this fit a ton. I think he'd be a perfect player for him, but hey, and that gig, Buka,

maybe even your boy, Troy Franklin, maybe. Oh, yeah. Perhaps he is a wide receiver. Perhaps. At the top of the second round is a guy who has been a great deep threat for Oregon's offense this year. So I think those are a handful of names to know a receiver for the Carolina Panthers. Last team, Leland Browns.

They're picking 56th overall right now in the middle of the second round. Well, not quite the middle. I think it's like the back end at this point. But who we got here, they're going to have to trade up for this one, but I just liked it too much to not talk about them today. And they're going to have to take Drake May because the Sean Watson, it's over.

Perfect way to end this show after we. All right. Chris Jenkins was actually who I went with for them. Okay. Bring the beef in the middle of this interior defensive line. I know they got some bets there right now, but Jenkins, it's so hard to run against this guy. And if you're the Browns, if you can move up and get him,

man, that's a lot of power you're dealing with with this front. I think he'd be perfect for him you know i have my picks brandon dorlis the defensive lineman from oregon somebody who i also think could play you could play defensive end for him you could play for eye technique three technique you put him even at nose he's six foot three 290 pounds he's got a ton of strength to him but he's also got some plus pass rush as well the other guy that i was going to bring to the table it was uh dante corleone the godfather uh from cincinnati somebody who's been a great run defender in our system over the last couple of years i think that's just what the doctor ordered for um the cleveland browns defensive line and look i think their defense

is playing great already and so you could totally go a different direction with that i know there's some worries about jedrick wills at the offensive tackle spot but i don't know if you're getting a starting caliber offensive tackle or it's just hard to project one here that's the tougher part you know like maybe jordan morgan i was gonna say jordan morgan because the injuries that tyler guyton from Oklahoma, the offensive tackle there, he's got a lot of athleticism. He's not a finished product yet, but he might be somebody who the consistency might keep him

from the first round. He might be an option for them in the second round. No, he's having a good season. Who? Javon Foster. Yes. He's having a very, very good season. I'm glad he didn't declare.

Look, you know, it's kind of the same way that we talked about Javon Foster, who is the offensive tackle from Missouri, by the way, I know we do a bad job of that. We're trying to be better. He's a summer scouting OG. And he was, and we talked about it during the summer, his tapes. Great. Like he's knows where to put his hands. He knows how to redirect. He can really anticipate pass rush moves. He's just not super athletic. like if you are a team that really loves athletes especially at offensive tackle i don't know how high you're gonna have this guy so i feel like foster to me was always a fringe day three day two pick yep but i mean maybe he's a

little bit higher now so i i love the shout out though i love the shout out here this year's max mitchell right i'll go in the fourth round and i like max mitchell so sure and we like javon foster all right there you go uh let us know what you guys thought of all of the players that we had here going to your team early prospect fits for every single team tell us what you thought of the player or the thought process that we had of your favorite team, how we went about it. Let us know. Best way to do that, YouTube comments, youtube.com backslash at NFL Stock Exchange.

If you are audio only, we still love you. You can hit us up on social media at Connor J. Rogers at Tampa Bay Trey. We're reading all those messages there as well. But we would love to hear from you guys. When we do these exercises that involve all 32 fan bases, we do it because we hope that it gives you a chance, not only for you to hear us sound off on it,

but it gives you guys the chance to kind of sound off it on it as well. Like a group hug. Yeah. It's a virtual group hug. No, we need something more tough than that. It's a group arm wrestling session. It's like that infamous, it should have been WWE at the time, clip.

Isn't it when Stone Cold comes to the ring and there's like 30 people in the ring just kicking the shit out of each other? Yes. Is that the listeners to us? Yeah, who's who there? But you said it needs to be tougher and cooler, so I tried to

Connor and I have talked about kind of pivoting a little bit. Not that what matters most is going to be gone for good, but we want to get into more like draft preview stuff. So maybe it'll be a mock draft, but it will be something that could be, it could be Halloween themed. Oh,

maybe we'll do that. Could be. I like, I like holiday themed podcasts. It's a weird thing of that. I'm very, very big fan of. Okay. All right.
