Starting point is 00:00:00 You can't help yourself. You can't help yourself. What did I say? Six, seven. I didn't say seven. Well, I didn't say seven. I didn't say seven. I said six.
Starting point is 00:00:08 Chat. Help me chat. I said six. The chef is saying seven. I have thrown the challenge flag. We're going to VAR technology. Yeah. I did not say this.
Starting point is 00:00:18 I have Rodriguez. We're going to have him. Six. Seven. Something like that. Right around there. I mean, it's like, like, I can't help yourself. The opening bell of the NFL Stock Exchange podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Trevor Sykima here with you guys. No Connor Rogers because, of course, he's big time in us. He's big time in us. His Super Bowl media Euro. You know, he's doing all the content. He's on all the big shows. He's forgetting about us.
Starting point is 00:00:53 The podcast is over. We're breaking up. I didn't know how to tell you guys. No, I'm just kidding. We're not. But Connor's not here. It's just going to be me navigating through, just like last week,
Starting point is 00:01:03 a brand new batch of team-specific mock drafts here on the wheel of mock drafts. We'll be spinning the wheel. The Evil Week. is, I got a sneak peek of it and it has more of a piece of the pie this week somehow. So I wonder if we'll get the Packers again. But we're doing to win things down. We've only got a handful of teams left that we haven't done team mock drafts for.
Starting point is 00:01:24 So we're going to try to get to as many as we can. I think four is probably what we'll shoot for here on today's show. And I'm excited to go through it with you guys. These are much more heavily influenced by the chat. I would say certainly when we don't have the two. of us here on the show. And so this is going to be a lot of, this is giving me a lot of chat interaction, chat back and forth. And of course, we'll get the chef Tyler Cook involved in this show a little bit more as well, just like he was last week when we were running through the wheel. I'm standing
Starting point is 00:01:55 by it, man. I'm standing by it. And you know what? Tyler editing that cold open the way that he did tells me I was right. It tells me I was right. I didn't say seven. I said, six and then you guys all misheard me. I'm blaming you. I'm not taking ownership for it. I didn't do it. Not this time. You can't accuse me of six, seven farming this time. Although that time, a couple of seconds ago, you can, that one actually happened. We didn't need VR, VAR technology for that one. I'd love to run through as many as possible while getting to as many of your chats as possible. Obviously, just like we do for every single episode, even though it's just me. I'll save most of the super chats for the end
Starting point is 00:02:42 and we'll kind of go through that in the after the episode portion of the show but let's get to the reason why everybody's tuned in let's pull the wheel up Tyler he's gonna look I'm exposing him a little bit here
Starting point is 00:02:55 he's feeling a little under the weather all right but don't don't be mean don't be mean to the chef he's powering through he's here to make sure that this show goes on even though he's not feeling 100% it's called playing
Starting point is 00:03:09 through it. Tyler, how we feeling? How we feeling? How we feel? We feel it a little bit better today or kind of the same thing? Yeah, we're feeling a little bit worse than yesterday. So yeah, but it's all good because we got the wheel. We got the evil wheel. And the addicts actually sent out a little post on the YouTube channel and the addicts gave me some really, really good ideas for what to put on the evil and eviler wheel. So. Okay. So I have no idea what's behind the evil wheel this time. No, it's pretty much completely different. And I specifically don't know what's behind the evil or wheel once we get to the evil wheel. You see how big of a piece of the pie that is?
Starting point is 00:03:48 You're, you are making this bigger every single week. No, no, no, it's the same size as last week for sure. No, it's not. No, no. Now I'm calling you out. I'm calling you out. I don't think it's any bigger. We can ask the chat.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I don't think it's any bigger. might have to go to VAR for that one as well. By the way, the chat is saying that this episode is your Michael Jordan flu game. This is the flu game. This is you playing through it. That's going to be one of the greatest episodes that anybody has ever seen. And with that, let's fire away. I think we just got to spin it.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Yeah, let's spin the wheel. Let's see what we got here. Bengals fans have been begging for a mock draft, so I kind of hope that we get to the Bengals here today. I didn't know this would happen. I didn't know this would happen. I had no idea. I didn't, oh,
Starting point is 00:04:36 it's going to be the Ravens. Bengals fans are probably really pissed about that because it was almost going to be a Bengals mock and now it's going to be a Baltimore Ravens mock. As we do for all of these mock drafts here on the wheel of mock drafts, it will be a three round mock draft here. So we'll pull up the beautiful PFF mock draft simulator.
Starting point is 00:04:57 We will select the Baltimore Ravens selecting at number 14 here in the first round. I don't think they have any bonus picks. here, Tyler, if you hit Enterdraft, I think they just have the three. Yeah, just a standard standard three mock draft or three pick mock draft here for these three rounds with the Baltimore Ravens. I've got to make sure that I do my best here for two reasons. Well, three reasons. One, we love Ravens fans here. So that's obviously the first reason. Two, my boss, my content director at PFF, Gordon McGinnis is a Ravens fan. And three, Beckett is a member of the
Starting point is 00:05:34 PFF social team, he is chronically online, and if we mess this up at all whatsoever, somehow he is going to manipulate our content to make us look bad. So we can't have any of that. We got the Ravens on the board here at number 14. Very curious right off the bat what the chat sort of thinks as the overall needs for this team. I think a certified difference making wide receiver on this team is needed. They have a lot of names at wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:06:05 but I just feel as though we've been having this conversation for many years now with Baltimore. They need a wide receiver who is a legitimate option, especially with Mark Andrews getting older. They need a legitimate option at wide receiver. I think that their interior, specifically the guards, obviously Tyler Lindervaum is fantastic when he is fully healthy,
Starting point is 00:06:23 but the guard play was not nearly what it needed to be for the Ravens this season. A lot went wrong for them. They went through some injuries. They were switching things up along the, offensive line with some new guys in there, but it just, it was not as good as it needed to be there for Baltimore. And so I think that interior offensive line is going to be on the table for them here in this mock draft as well. And then edge rusher. Now, edge rusher is interesting because
Starting point is 00:06:46 they drafted Mike Green last season. Mike Green did not really have a very impactful rookie year, but that does not, that's not to say that he can't have a breakout sophomore season, second year season in the NFL. I thought it was interesting that they traded away Odafe OAOA to the Los Angeles Chargers when pass rush was really an issue for them. When we were recording, I think yesterday is when somebody said this in the chat, but Nondybite Bueke had tweeted, you know, what did he tweet? Like, good news or hearing good things.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I don't remember exactly what it was, but essentially it was like, essentially good news. And you would hope that that's because things are looking up for him and his neck injury. Because anytime you're dealing with a neck injury where you don't play for an extended period of time, you worry, okay, well, is this going to be something that's going to be career altering? And obviously, we don't help that with anybody. And Nanywai de Bique is a big reason why. His absence is a big reason why I think the Ravens really struggled more than they should have in the trenches this season.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So that's the, oh, yeah, that's actually a good point. D. Sauter said, Mac or O'A may come back with Minter now as the head coach. It's actually a really good point because Jesse Minter was probably in the conversations to bring him over at the trade deadline. And with him being a free agent, he might just be back over with Baltimore. So that's kind of funny. So let's see what the options are here at number 14. Anybody, you know, the wide receivers, let's see who's off the board at wide receiver. Jordan Tyson's off the board.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Carnal Tate's off the board. Amichai Lemons off the board. one, two, three right there. So I'm not going to be thinking at a wide receiver here at this spot. If I wanted a wide receiver, it would have been one of those three guys. I wouldn't really,
Starting point is 00:08:35 I wouldn't think Casey Concepcion here at number 14. I wouldn't think Denzel Boston here at number 14. If you trade down into later in the first round, I think that we could get in that conversation. Cassius Howl is interesting. Obviously a very productive pass rusher, like we've talked about many times before on this show, really good pass rush grade,
Starting point is 00:08:56 19.9% passers win percentage this past season. He's had an elite passers grade in each of the last three seasons, actually. So he's pretty seasoned. He's been doing this for a while. The interesting factor here with the Raven specifically is Mike Green was already an edge rusher who you were sacrificing length for because he had much shorter arms. What was Green's?
Starting point is 00:09:21 What was Green's arm length? He was on the much shorter side. his arm length was 32 inches, which is sixth percentile for edge rushers. And Cassius Howe reportedly could be even smaller than that. So on one hand, you say to yourself, well, this is a Ravens front office, at least, that took him and was okay with that. Would they do that for two edge rushers, though? Betting on one outlier is different than betting on two outliers.
Starting point is 00:09:53 So I'm not convinced that even though they need edge rusher, they would take Howl. On the offensive line, Vega-Owane makes a ton of sense for them, the Penn State Guard, because he was so good in pass protection this past season. He was one of the best past protecting guards in the country, that 87.0 pass-blocking grade. He was good. He was good. I was about to say serviceable, but I think it's even better than that. He was good in the run game. He wasn't dominant in the run game, but I do think that he is an immediate type of starter for them along the interior offensive line. If they wanted to go for a bigger-sized player,
Starting point is 00:10:29 maybe you think about Caden Proctor at this point and you're making him a guard, like you're drafting him specifically to be a guard. I think T.J. Parker is maybe somebody that you think about as well. If you wanted an edge rusher, I don't think you have to pick offensive line here. But Tyler, can you show me the guards?
Starting point is 00:10:56 Because it pick 45. that's the issue is that normally I'm not really saying you've got to pick interior offensive linemen in the first round. Normally I'm not really about that. But if you were to wait until 45, I think Emmanuel Pregnan, there's a chance he could be there at 45, but you're running a real risk because after him, I mean, the next guy is Chase Bessantis, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:11:22 who maybe you feel good about it at one of those guard spots. But I think that at 45, that might be a little bit early for him, Keelan Rutledge is an option for them as well, but he's somebody I'd rather target it at pick 80, whereas okay, can you show me edge rushers here? Because I think edge rusher is deeper for them. Yeah, I mean, there's just so many more guys to be able to choose from as we go throughout the draft. So I think where T.J. Parker, I see what Sauter saying in the chat. Like T.J. Parker could be a good option for them. Like, everybody knows that I love
Starting point is 00:12:00 Akeem Messador. Like I think that Messador, by the way, James, their three-round mock drafts that you see him saying that in the chat. I love Messador for them. Would they consider him at 14? I'm not sure just with the age. But I do think that he, if you want to make the pass rush better immediately next year, like he's the best player left available to do it. I think I'm going to go. I think I am going to go with Owane. Let's go with the guard. Let's go with, let's go with Vig O'Wane here.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Let's make sure that we're upgrading the trenches with somebody who we know could start because they had Andrew Vorese, Daniel Folle Lele last year, Follelae struggled. I think Vorese was okay if I'm remembering correctly. They also drafted Emery Jones Jr. who played offensive tackle when he was at LSU. I've always thought he was more of a guard. I like him as sort of like a backup type of a player,
Starting point is 00:12:52 but I still think that they need to make sure that they get a starter there. So let's go with Vega-Owane. I think that's the right choice for them at 14, especially the way the board broke. I would consider one of those top three wide receivers, like I mentioned Jordan Tyson, Carnell Tate, and Mackay Lemon.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I would love Tate, to be honest with you. Like if Tate was there at 14, I'd have a real hard time picking somebody over him. So we've got O'Anne. All right, the chat seems to like it. That's good. Not getting bullied yet in this episode.
Starting point is 00:13:28 So now, yeah, you look at this, and I think that this is the right decision for them because just even looking at the edge rushers on the best available here. Like Zion Young is there. Romello height is there. These are guys that you feel pretty good about Derek Moore. I would think about him potentially at 45. It might be a little bit early for him at 45,
Starting point is 00:13:54 but I thought he had an excellent senior bowl. One would power consistently. I think that Minter would get a ton out of Derek Moore. So I think that the fit value, of him brings him up into this, you know, maybe him at 45 type of a conversation. Is Accus available? I don't think Agus is available. I think he got picked. Yeah, he just got picked to the Texans right before. I think Gabe Accus would also be excellent for this team. Funny enough, Immanuel Pregnon did last until 45. And I do think that there's a chance that he
Starting point is 00:14:26 does. It's just you have a much better chance of getting an edge rusher that you want still available here at number 45 if you're the Ravens. than truly running the risk. O'Dy Sauter is also pointing out the fact that Derek Morris from Baltimore, a little bit of a homecoming. I don't think there's another. Can I see wide receiver? Let's just see wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah, I mean, I'd love Omar Cooper Jr. for this team, but I don't think that I like Omar Cooper Jr. enough to pick here over the edge rushers that are still available versus, can we see edge rushers versus the edge rushers that I think would be available in the third round? Yeah, I think I'm pretty comfortable with that. I think I'm pretty comfortable taking receiver next. Let's go. I'm actually, I'm going to go with Zion Young.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I'm between Zion Young and Derek Moore here. I like Ramello Heights, but Ramello Heights's a little bit too finesse for me. And I think that Mike Green might be more of a finesse player, given that he has smaller measurables and he's more of a speed rusher. He's got some good bend and explosiveness to him. But I think he's more of. that finesse rusher and Zion Young he can win with power he can win with length he's a legit 260 pounds he's a legit six foot five he's got the long arms to him we saw him at the senior
Starting point is 00:16:06 bowl win uh with with a ton of power and i think that that's probably the best way to do it and then mr sonic in the chat is is saying hopefully malachi fields the wide receiver from Notre Dame gets to them at number 80. That is also the player that I had my eye on. So let's go the edge rusher here. Let's go Zion Young. I like this strategy for them so far. And then wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah, there is. Malachi Fields was awesome at the Senior Bowl. And I also think that Malachi Fields is, I think Malachi Fields is pretty much the best case scenario version of why you drafted Tess Walker. Right? like this is this bigger vertical threat type of wide receiver for you. And Malachi Fields is just a better blocker.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I think he's a better route runner. I think he's a better all around receiver at like in all facets while also being that vertical field stretcher for you. So this is a pretty, this is a pretty ideal draft. And I think this is also a pretty realistic draft. Maybe Zion Young's not going to last until number 45. But even with that being the case, I might be all right going with Derek Moore at that spot,
Starting point is 00:17:28 given how he played at the Senior Bowl. So Vega-Owane, Zion Young, and then let's lock it in. Let's go Malachi Fields here. I think that this is a pretty ideal draft for the Baltimore Ravens. I think that you get, you see the, well, first of all, the PFF mock draft simulator, who knows who's running this thing now? Mike McCarthy's off in Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:17:53 He's now the head coach of the Steelers. We haven't filled the role yet. I don't know if you guys have seen it at PFF.com backslash jobs, but maybe they put it up there. Maybe they haven't. But I think that this is, we're off the rails here. I don't even know who's grading these things.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Mrs. Sonic 10 out of 10, Trev, no short jokes this week. I appreciate it. I'll be waiting for them next week when I, when I inevitably do something that the chat doesn't like, and then the short jokes will come back. Raven's A plus draft there. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:18:29 That's so Raven. There it is. I like the reference. Uncle Phil. Wait, Uncle Phil's saying not for me. Didn't get a good grade for me? Uncle Phil, who would you have taken? Oh, Alfie Curtis is saying I would have preferred Ted Hurst, but no complaints.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I like Malachi Fields a lot more than I like Ted Hurst. I think that Ted Hurst is a little bit better in contest to catch situations, but not by a ton. And I think that Fields has more explosiveness. And I just think that he's played at a higher level the last couple of years. And so it's a little bit more proven. I also felt like Fields was even more of a standout at the Senior Bowl. So I like this draft a lot.
Starting point is 00:19:09 There we go. Starting off on the right foot. I'm feeling good about this. Feeling good about these four mock drafts. There's the first one. So we obviously, we've taken the Ravens off the board. Yeah, they're gone. Which means the evil or wheel has gotten bigger.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I think it looks smaller. I don't know about you. I don't think it looks bigger. I've never been gaslit more in my entire life than I am right here on this show. I think you're gaslighting me. I can't even. I can't rewind the tape. I can't rewind the tape.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I'll have to look back at the show to make sure that I'm right. But I think you're making the eviler wheel a little bit bigger every time. Trevor, you're crazy. Have you drank enough water today? No, I haven't actually. So while you spin it. Yeah, let me spin it while you drink that water. We're gonna get the protein shaker filled with water this time around.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Go ahead and spin the loop. So many of the chat said, why is the evil or wheel smaller? No, we're not getting it. Now, we're not getting it. We're not getting it. Come on, stop in the Texans. We got a lot of Texas fans watching the show right now. We've got a lot of fans with Texas.
Starting point is 00:20:16 There it is. We get a lot of Houston Texas fans with Houston Texans logos and their AV or their username or whatever. So this is great. This is perfect. I'm glad that you guys are getting to see this Houston Texans mock draft live. The Texans, very interesting. It's very interesting because they're all over the place in this draft. They're picking 28th. Obviously made the playoffs. Let's enter the draft because I can't remember exactly what the numbers are. They've got 28, 38, 38, 59, and 69. So we've got four
Starting point is 00:20:53 selections here for the Houston Texans. Somebody in the chat said, O line three times. Mark said, Ty Simpsoner, we riot. Good Lord. I don't think we can give up on C.J. Strau that quickly. He's still on the rookie contract, folks.
Starting point is 00:21:12 You still got to, you still got to get some value out of that. Offensive line three times, though, I do, uh, I do think that there is a chance where that could potentially. eventually happen. So we're picking at 28. Obviously, it's not extremely ideal. So for the Houston
Starting point is 00:21:29 Texans, we do have to set the stage with the offensive line conversation. You draft Arionte Erisarii, and it looks like Arionte Erisory can be a starting offensive tackle for you. It was an up and down year for him, but you know, you draft him last year, you feel good enough about it. I think he's going to man one of those tackle spots. Titus Howard, I think can play tackle for you. And there's a beauty in Titus Howard because I think he can't play tackle, but he can also play guard for you. So you have a little bit of flexibility there. How many guys, how many of these guys are free agents? Because I think a handful of them were just on one year deals to try to figure it out anyways. Let's see. Ed Ingram's a free agent. Jared Kingston's a free agent.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Oh, is that it? For the offensive line? Man, I thought it was more than that. All right. So it's just those two guys. So we've got those two offensive guards who are free agents. Jake Andrews is still there, but I think that you, and you got Drew, Drew Scruggs behind him, but I think you could probably upgrade his center. You have Jared Patterson as well. You got Blake Fisher who, I think Blake Fisher is just kind of a
Starting point is 00:22:39 rotational, maybe swing, backup offensive tackle. And then you got Trent Brown, too, which where did Trent Brown mostly played this year? I know he played right tackle for him. Is that where he played most this year? Because he plays all around. Oh, he just played
Starting point is 00:23:00 right tackle for them. Okay. Okay. So he didn't, he didn't really switch that up at all this year, but he only played from week 10 on. He's played all over in his career. The last two years, he's played right tackle mostly, played left tackle in New England from 2033 and 22. So he's going to be probably a swing backup offensive tackle as well, unless they want him to be a starting offensive tackle, which he could. Monroe Freeling is on the board. board. I see some people talking about Monroe Freeling. Caleb Lomu is on the board. I think that Caleb Lomu is better than Monroe Freeling. So if we would take an offensive tackle prospect, I would be taking Caleb Lomu. Are there, let me see, though, because we're trying to, we're, I know
Starting point is 00:23:54 offensive line is, is the major need here. But if Trent Brown is going to be a starting, if he's going to be a starting right tackle this year, which maybe the chat could tell me and yell at me, maybe Houston, Texas fans could tell me like, no, like, we don't want him. as our starting offensive tackle this year. If he starts for your right tackle, that means that you probably have your two offensive tackles right there. Titus Howard can also play right tackle if needed. So you're really more just looking to upgrade at center and guard.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Like if you think that low move or an offensive tackle, a long term, a long term offensive tackle option is the best choice here. I could see that. Trem Brown's playing QB next year. Okay, you're right. I, I forgot. I forgot that.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Texans comments are in the chat saying, you know it's bad when Trent Brown is the linchpin here. Him not playing versus New England forced Titus to right tackle. Jared Patterson in the left guard. Let's see. Yeah, I do think that I'm going to pick a center here for people in the chat that are talking about upgrading their center spot. somebody's saying that Brown's a free agent.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I don't see him. Oh, now I do. Okay, yes, sorry, sorry. Texas fans are probably screaming at me because he was listed as a right tackle and I was looking at it alphabetically. I was looking at just offensive tackle. And so I missed him there.
Starting point is 00:25:35 So he's a free agent. Okay. So that changed the conversation entirely. I like Caleb Lomu more than I like Monroe freely. I think that Caleb Lomu has the body type that you would want for a future offensive tackle in the NFL. I think he's got a good amount of starting experience. He is young as just a redshirt sophomore,
Starting point is 00:25:53 but he's been starting for the last two years for, for Utah. I think he's got really, really good pass blocking grades overall. The run blocking grades aren't quite there yet for him, but I think it's because he is one of those younger offensive linemen. I think he is going to continue to get stronger. I think the conversation is somewhat similar with Monroe Freeling, who I felt like was a better pass protector than he was a run blocker. Monroe Freeling has more natural length to him.
Starting point is 00:26:19 believe he is I'm listing this guys I believe he is six foot seven so I believe that he has that length there to him thank God I wasn't farming 315 pounds I think it's close between these two guys but I I would I would go with Caleb Lomu over Moreau freely so let's go let's go offensive tackle here let's let's let's let's go Caleb Lomu I'm gonna pick him we've got four picks you choose from this isn't going to be the last offensive line pick especially because, wow, Monroe Freeling is still there. That's kind of funny. I'm not going to pick Monroe Freeling.
Starting point is 00:26:59 But now, see, this is where I might have messed up. Because can you scroll up for me, Tyler? Yeah, I mean, I was looking to see if Caden Proctor was still on the board at that point. He wasn't. If he was, I probably should have picked Caden Proctor at 28 and then waited for an offensive line pick here at 38. but he wasn't on the board, so I guess it wasn't that much of a mistake.
Starting point is 00:27:41 He went two picks before the Texans at 28. So I would have thought about Caden Proctor there, or Caden McDonald there if he was available. Christian Miller also a really good run defending defensive tackle, but I probably would have still stuck with Lomu. So we're all good. We're all good. I made the right choice.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I'm happy with this. I don't have any regrets, which is a good way to go through life. Do I go offensive line again? Somebody said, Jonah Coleman, I wouldn't take Jonah Coleman this early. I do like Jonah Coleman, but I wouldn't take him here at 38.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Man, is like, is it safety almost the best pick here? With the way the board has dropped? Oh, Lee Hunter's still available, though, isn't he? Oh, man. I kind of like that a lot. We just, I had considered defensive tackle there at 28 with Lee Hunter still being here.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And I think there's a world where he gets into the second round, after a really good senior bowl, I think that it's less likely. I think back into the first round feels like it's good for them. Lee Hunter, and then I think Pregnon was still on the board too. Like if you just want to go, yeah, yeah, yeah, he is still there as well. And he just go, are we just going right after, right after O-line? Maybe you just got to do it. Can I see defensive tackle?
Starting point is 00:29:22 Can you go to defensive tackle? And I'm going to see who we got a little bit later. I like those options. Give me Emmanuel Pregnan. We're going back to back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's take Emmanuel Pregnon there. So we go back to back offensive line.
Starting point is 00:29:37 We go Caleb Lomu, who I think could potentially start for them immediately next season. And then Pregnon, who I definitely think can start immediately for them next season. And then, man, I think we go defensive tackle here. Somebody said Keontek, Scott gives them the most ridiculous secondary. Yeah, but I think. that what him and Jalen Petrie do is too, is too much of a little bit of like cannibalizing those snaps. See, here's where I would, can I see running back? Oh, running back. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, so I'm thinking about Jonah Coleman. I'm thinking about Emmett Johnson as well.
Starting point is 00:30:41 I'm not as high on Judarian Price as it feels like other people are. Connor is one of the Connor loves Deerian Price. And I see the athletic potential. I just don't, I don't love the vision as much. But Jonah Coleman and Emmett Johnson, I think, are really good when it comes to anticipating having that vision, mistackles force per attempt, all of that. So I'm considering him, well, either of those two guys. I'm also considering Big Citrus, Dominic Orange. And then the player that I really want is I want to get the Texans, Sam Hect, the offensive line, the center that I watched at the Senior Bowl be, in my opinion, one of the best players at the entire event. I genuinely think that he has risen his stock to. I've got to bump, I've got to bump him up on
Starting point is 00:31:31 the predictive board because I think he, he's got a chance to be the best center in this class. From what I saw in person at the Senior Bowl, how dominant he was, let's go. Let's go Jonah Coleman. The question is, do I go D-line? No, no, no, no. Let's go Jonah Coleman. Let's go Jonah Coleman here at, what do we have, 59? Yeah, let's go Jonah Coleman at 59. Take the running back.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I like the combination of him and Woody Marks. And then let's take Sam Hacked, the center from Kansas State, who he has been starting for the last 25 games for Kansas State. I think he is, I think he could potentially be a plug-and-play type of a center. I think he can start in his rookie season. And I think, okay, every offensive lineman, it's a little bit of an up and down thing whenever they're playing for the first time of the NFL.
Starting point is 00:32:35 But this, I mean, to come away in this draft with Caleb Lomu, Emmanuel Pregnan, Sam Hecht. I mean, you came away with three starting caliber offensive linemen, and you got a running back who might be RB1 for you, or at the very least, a really nice one-two combination with Woody Marks. So let's do it, Tyler. Let's lock it in. Three offensive linemen. Three offensive linemen. There we go.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Somebody said all rookie offensive line. What could go wrong? Probably a lot. But there's a chance that they might be able to, you know, like Caleb Lomu, maybe he's not starting right away. But I do still think that he is a future starting offensive tackle for you. Pregnon, I think, can start right away for you. And then Sam Hect, I think, has the ability to start right away for you. I would have liked to get a defensive tackle. Like I said, we talked about it in the first round. We talked about it in the second round with Lee Hunter. We even talked about it in the third round with Dominique Orange. I think defensive tackle is still on the table for this team.
Starting point is 00:33:35 But I think the idea of just revamping the offensive line in a similar way to what the New England Patriots did this past season, it's very, very alluring. And even if all of those rookie offensive linemen aren't getting the lion's share of the snaps at the very beginning, you are investing in guys that are worth investing in. You are investing in offensive linemen that have starting caliber ceiling. So maybe one or two of these guys are starting right away for you, but I think all three of them are starters for you at some point in time. There we go.
Starting point is 00:34:08 There we go. Texas mock, before we spend the next one, you are the evil wheel is almost 50% of the wheel. Okay, I will admit it looks. Yeah, go ahead. But I think it's because we keep taking off teams. Is that wrong? like because it makes it a little like because every you know what I mean like proportion you know what I mean see now you're getting now you're getting away with it because we are taking away more teams so
Starting point is 00:34:34 technically in a court of law if we were to hook you up to a lie detector test and you were under oath you'd be like no it got bigger because we were taking teams off of the wheel yeah technically would be correct and we would not be able to prosecute you right then and there right I'm not going to jail you're not because I haven't done anything wrong somebody says stop shrinking the evil wheel It's true. Before we spin it again, though, got to talk to the people about our game plan of the week. Our game plan of the week presented by Western and Southern Financial Group, a game plan to your financial future.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Something that I found when I was going through a lot of the data for our preview show for the Super Bowl, is that the Seattle Seahawks, specifically running to the left side of the offensive line, love to run those pole lead plays where they're getting their offensive linemen out and into space. why you ask? Because Gray's able has to play, happens to play on the left side of the line of scrimmage. They are maximizing who he is as an athlete, blocking in space,
Starting point is 00:35:34 getting to the sideline, and that is their highest run blocking concept as a team because of Gray's able. I think that leaning into that a handful of times against New England Patriots is a great way to switch up when they like to run, they like to run power mostly between the tackles, but having that sort of a player
Starting point is 00:35:50 to be a lead blocker for you out towards the sideline, that's pretty advantageous and a good game plan to lean on. Just like every team wins starts with a great game plan, your future should as well. With life insurance built like a championship roster, Western and Southern helps protect you and your family.

Starting point is 00:36:21 backed by over 130 years. of helping people protect what matters most. I swear if the evil wheel is bigger now that we are coming back from the ad, I'm going to lose it. It's the same size. It's the same size. I think it's the same size. I think it's the same size.
Starting point is 00:36:40 All right, let's spin it. Got two marks down. We got Baltimore Ravens and the Houston, Texas down. We've got a handful of teams left. And of course, the evil wheel. Let's spin it. It looks smaller to me. You guys are defending the chef.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Oh yeah, baby, no evil wheel. So close to the Bengals, but it is the San Francisco 49ers. So Niners here in this exercise. Getting a little three-round mock draft here. Everyone in the chat is booing. Jalen's saying yes. Trevor rigged it. Rigged it for what?
Starting point is 00:37:27 Oh, so it doesn't land on the evil on crustable. Maybe I did. Maybe I did. maybe that's payback for Tyler making it a little bit bigger every single time we're going to be back for the last one and it's going to be like 80% of the wheel is going to be the evil wheel which would be hilarious and I yeah but I shouldn't manifest that let's enter the draft with the San Francisco 49ers who are picking at 27 we'll do a little three round mock draft here for them standard three picks here
Starting point is 00:37:54 for the 49ers to pick it at 27 they're picking at 58 and they're picking at 92 so I think right off the bat with the 49ers. I think wide receivers obviously a need for them because long term you're looking at a team that okay, Ricky Pearsall is on this team, but Joanne Jennings is a free agent. It looks like Brandon Ayuk
Starting point is 00:38:17 is very obviously going to be on another team next season. They have Demarcus Robinson. Is Demarcus Robinson a free agent? Actually not sure. Let's see. Let's see. No, but Kendrick Boren and Skymore are both free agents as well.
Starting point is 00:38:37 So I think that they do have a pretty big wide receiver need. I think offensive line potentially for this team, although I don't think that it's the biggest need. A pure pass rusher, I think is a major need for this team, even with Robert Sala gone. You've got Rahim Morris now as the offensive, or the defensive coordinator, excuse me. And I still think that, actually,
Starting point is 00:38:59 what was the blitz percentage for Rahim Morris? this past season. I bet I can look that up. I wonder how many times he rushed with more than four. Passless tendencies. Let's see. In the NFL,
Starting point is 00:39:16 this season, let's see how high the Falcons were in Blitz percentage. I wonder if it's a little bit skewed with Jalen Walker and sort of his designation. The Falcons blitz the fourth most of any team in the NFL when it comes to overall Blitz percentages at 41.6%. Where is five-man pass rushes? Yeah, the Falcons were once again, I think top 10 in the NFL, 66.1% in five-man pass-rush
Starting point is 00:39:52 percentage. So Rahim Morris was definitely a little bit more aggressive. Some people in the chat are saying that it was Ulbrick. I don't think that Ulbrick is sort of working alone in that regard. I think that with Rahim Morris sort of coming up with the game plan as well and looking at the roster
Starting point is 00:40:15 and seeing where it's best. I just wondered if the blitz percentage is pretty high. So I still think that all that to say, they do need more one-on-one pass-rish winners from their front four beyond just Nick Bosa because when Nick Bosa went down this season, man, it got ugly to try to find anybody that could really get into the backfield
Starting point is 00:40:32 with regularity on passing downs. But it does feel as though the Niners under Morris might be a little bit more willing to send some extra pressure where Robert Sala really doesn't do a lot of that. He isn't like doing that with his linebackers. I think they could potentially have an upgraded safety. Like I specifically look at Emmanuel McNeil Warren, who is still on the board here.
Starting point is 00:40:55 I don't think that the Niners would just pick any safety at any point in the draft. Like if we get to, if we don't pick Emmanuel McNeill Warren here in the first round, I don't really think I'd consider safety in rounds two and three. Not that I wouldn't like the play. I do like the safety class a lot. I like the players they're here. But they have Jaya Brown.
Starting point is 00:41:22 They've got Malik Mustafa. Those guys can play. It's just do they feel like there's an upgrade there? Somebody's asking is corner in play here for them? So they drafted up in stout. Di Amador-Lonor can play inside and out. They have Renardo Green. Chase Lucas played well in the slot when he was asked to fill in.
Starting point is 00:41:41 I felt like, so probably not. They just dread. Now, because of injuries, their linebacker group looked really thin last year, but they did just draft Nick Martin. So I'm not so sure they're going to, I'm not so sure that they're going to draft a linebacker even for like depth purposes. You know, you wouldn't do that here number 27 anyways, but I think it's, I think it's McNeil warned somebody that we would think about pass rushers. I mean,
Starting point is 00:42:24 is Concepcion just the pick? You know, we started off talking about him as a wide receiver need, and I think he makes a ton of sense for this team for what Kyle Shanahan likes to do. We've talked about him as a perfect fit for the Niners before. It's almost just like, hey, do we explore all the options? And that's sort of what we're doing with here in the first round. Messadora, I think, would immediately be the second best pass rusher on the team, to be honest with you. Kind of depends how immediate they feel they are in their winning window. Can I, can I see, I think, can I see wide receiver, edge rusher, and safety? Because wide receiver, I mean, I don't know if it's guarantee on the simulator because of
Starting point is 00:43:30 where he's ranked. But I think with Chris Bell coming off of the ACL injury, I mean, I think the Niners might be able to Chris Bell at 58 and they'd feel pretty good. about that. I also think about Zachariah Branch as a target for this team. Perhaps at 90. Maybe he goes a little bit higher than that. But, you have a Skyler Bell for this team as well. I just don't think you have to pick wide receiver
Starting point is 00:44:00 if you're the Niners in the first round. Let's take, I kind of want to, I kind of want to see what it's like for them to take McNeil Warren as an upgraded safety. Dylan Thineman is there as well. I would think about Dylan Thinemann, too. The chat's right. Sassy said, all right, we're going offensive tackle.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Would be classic me to do that. Gabacus is, I love him as a football player, but I think that I'd take Messador and I'd take the safeties over Gabacus at this point for the team. Okay, let's explore what a draft would look like for the 49ers if they went safety. Chat, I'm torn between two guys that I like a lot in Dylan Thiena and Emmanuel McNeil Warren.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Does the chat feel strongly one way or another? Cast your votes. Let's see. Who do you think is the better player here? For the 49ers or just in general. I'd love to see what the chat thinks about this. Getting a lot of early McNeil Warren. Peter's saying Bishop Fitzgerald.
Starting point is 00:45:38 That's a good point, Peter. We didn't think about that. I probably should have. I think that Emmanuel McNeil Warren's winning in a runaway here. But we do we do see some love for Thinnaman, who I think is within this range as well. Let's go with McNeil Warren. A little bit bigger of a safety, if I remember correctly. It's just such a playmaker the past two seasons for them.
Starting point is 00:46:03 His best plays are fantastic. Let's go McNeil Warren here. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to look at pass rusher next. Let's go edge rusher. Damn. Damn, we got sniped. I thought we'd have a little bit better options than this. All right, can you show me wide receiver?
Starting point is 00:46:47 I might go. I might pick Skyler Bell here. I'm deciding between Skylar Bell and Zachariah Branch, to be honest. I think Zachariah Branch is obviously more of like that, hey, you didn't get Casey Concepcion in the first round. You can get a player like this who's got a lot of yak potential. had his best year as a true wide receiver this past season, just like Concepcion did.
Starting point is 00:47:13 He's young, he's a true junior. He's got that punt returnability to him as well. I think Skylar Bell is just a better route runner. He's a better receiver overall. He's a better downfield receiver. Fantastic catch percentage. I don't know if I'm totally on Zachariah Branch going quite this high. I think the league is probably in on him going this high.
Starting point is 00:47:37 But I do have Bell. ranked higher and I do like Skylar Bell quite a bit let's take let's take Skyler Bell Brandon saying no love for CJ Daniels I like CJ Daniels I don't know if he's going above Skylar Bell or not I was I but I was a fan of him this past season I think he could be on the table as well but I think Skyler stock is a little bit higher than CJ Daniels could have certainly had him in this conversation but let's go Skyler bell here at 58. And then there was a pass rusher that was that I had a feeling was still going to be there for
Starting point is 00:48:20 them at 92 that I'm going to be picking here. Well, actually, we've got, we've got three good options all right next to each other that I would be considering here. Malachi Lawrence, not named Tucker, and then Quintavius Hutchins. I think all three of these guys have the juice that you want as pass rushers. Hutchins, I was really impressed with with his first step explosiveness, how he was able to get off the ball,
Starting point is 00:48:49 the bend that he played with, watching him at the senior bowl and going through those practices. I mean, he is somebody that is, I don't think is ready to play at the NFL right away, but I think he's got a ton of potential as a speed rusher. Not a him Tucker is super productive this past season.
Starting point is 00:49:09 You see the passers grades, unbelievable. 28.4% passers winning percentage is stupid. That's crazy good. But he's a little bit on the smaller side. Now they're okay with that, I think, because they brought in Bryce Huff to be that and he wasn't able to be that for them this year. He kind of fills that Bryce Huff roll a little bit better. You hope in a more consistent way. So I think about him. And then if you want more of a traditional sort of hand in the dirt type of edge rusher opposite Nick Bosa, I think you think about Malkai Lawrence. The last thing is that the chat's shouting out tight end as well. Let's look at tight end. Who's left at tight end here?
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yeah, I mean, I could be in on Sam Roush. I could be in on Marlon Klein, but I think I would rather Nyer's got a fourth round pick, right? Let's see. Let's see. They do have a fourth round pick. I think I'm a little bit more comfortable taking tight end in the fourth round. I mean, it's toss up, right? I mean, like you take a pass or you can take a tight end, whoever you feel better about. But I just let's go, let's go, let's go pass rusher. And I think I'm, I think I'm going to go with Notame Tucker here. I think I'm going to go with the smaller school guy who is still really impressive at the senior bowl, even with a jump up in competition this past year. Like I said, he was, he was an absolute speed demon. And he's somebody who knows
Starting point is 00:50:43 how to get after the quarterback. And I think that, um, him being a little bit more of a plug and play type of a guy and filling that role that they had for Bryce Huff in a little bit better of a way. And I think that this leans into if Rahim Morris still wants to do a lot of blitzing, you're getting extra guys on the field who have the ability to pass rush from a blitzing perspective from like a two point stance. This is actually the player that I like the most for them. So let's go with not name Tucker here. And then I think, you know, everybody who's shouting out tight end names. I feel like there's still going to be a lot of tight ends to, to be had in the fourth round. So I think that
Starting point is 00:51:20 not Aem Tucker, well, I think that he probably gets an F because we picked him at 92 and he's 58, 158 on the consensus board. I need to update that because I think it's much, much, much more realistic that he is going to get drafted. Maybe not in the top 100, but certainly around the top 100 within that conversation.
Starting point is 00:51:36 So it's a bad grade here from the simulator because I've got him so much lower on the consensus board. But I do think that he's a scheme fit for them there. So there's a little bit of a look of what a potential Niners draft could look like. if they prioritize like a difference making safety. So that safety in the first round, you're getting a surefire,
Starting point is 00:51:57 contributing wide receiver in Skylar Bell, and then you're getting a versatile designated pass rusher type from Notame Tucker. People are saying that Questia Daphomensa is creating the mock draft simulator. He might be. I got to see. I'm headed to Cincinnati this weekend
Starting point is 00:52:15 because we're doing a live stream for the Super Bowl on the, on the PFF YouTube channel. And I'll check the basement. I'll see if he's down there, grinding away with these mock drafts. And if he is, I'll report back to you guys. Okay, let's, uh, it's 50%.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Don't do not. I heard you unmute the mic. I didn't say any. I'm just, I'm just ready to spin it. That's all I was going to say. I'm ready to spin it. Wait, Garrett Greenlee is in the chat. Shout out football analysis.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Trevor, can you do a Vikings mock draft where you trade the late third for Devandre sweat? I'm not sure. I'm not sure that the Titans would be doing that. But I do like the attitude. I do like the manifest. The Titans fans probably don't. But okay,
Starting point is 00:53:05 so we've got, how many teams we got left? Seven? We got seven more teams that we got. And then, of course, the evil wheel, which has 50% of the wheel now at this point. Let's spin it.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Let's see what we go. It's going to be funny if it doesn't land on the evil wheel. Oh, I think we're good. Wow. The Indianapolis Colts. This one's going to be a quick one because the Colts don't have a first round pick. They have a second round pick? I think they do. Or do they not? Let's pull it up. I know they don't have a first round pick, obviously. That's going to the J. So they have 47. So they have a second round pick. Yeah. Yeah. So three round mock draft here for the Indianapolis Colts.
Starting point is 00:53:57 Let's start her off. Man, we got a we got a long way to go. okay so they do they have 47 and they have 78 this will obviously be a little bit quicker of one because we don't have a first round pick and so uh you know what we'll do another spin folks we'll do another spin after that um the colts quarterback obviously you need unfortunately potentially defensive tackle because of how bad it looked when deforest buckner was out they're going to lose Alec Pierce linebacker I think is a need for them as well
Starting point is 00:54:47 Coroner you obviously invested all the draft capital and getting sauce so you feel good about Charbarius Ward when he's fully healthy oh excuse me when he's fully healthy you have sauce gardener you got Kenny Moore you got safetys you like so
Starting point is 00:55:07 I feel like it's uh well man there's probably not a linebacker to oh Jake Golda could be could be good for them somebody said Ward's going to retire Is Ward actually going to retire? Oh, who said we're losing Alex Pierce? That's true. Yeah, you could resign him.
Starting point is 00:55:30 I just think that he's going to get a massive bag on the open market. But maybe they don't. I'm sure they wouldn't love, they would love to retain him. So at 47, I'd be taking Trinidad-Chambliss here, if Trinidad-Chamblez is in this class. Did I remove him from the simulator? No, he's still here. Now, we can operate. one of two ways. We can operate
Starting point is 00:55:57 with him in the class and if he is, I'd be taking him at 47. I would love for him to be the option for the Colts at 47. But if we're, he is, he is fighting like hell. He's going to war, as Connor said, in the courtroom
Starting point is 00:56:14 to not have to be in the NFL draft and he wants to play one more year of college football. So, let's act like he's not in this draft. Can I see defensive tackles and linebackers? You know what? I think I'm going all Texas Tech here.
Starting point is 00:56:50 I think we're taking Lee Hunter and then I'm taking Jacob Rodriguez. Let's do it. Shoot, I mean, we could have gone all Cincinnati as well. Could take taking the Godfather and then we could have taken Jake Golda. Probably in the opposite order. But yeah, Jacob Rodriguez, yes.
Starting point is 00:57:08 I mean, this, obviously they have a quarterback need, but there you go, Quessie. Appreciate it. B plus. Yeah, I think this is, I think this is a home run for them. Like I said, their defensive line and their interior defensive line specifically
Starting point is 00:57:25 when DeForest Buckner was not there, was not what it needed to be. I know they have added to him. Added to Miwa adabwara, but he is more of like that edge kind of interior defensive lineman player. They have never, Neville Gallemore as well,
Starting point is 00:57:40 but is he an unrestricted free agent? He might be. Let's see. He might be a free agent anyways. Oh. Lee Hunter was so, so dominant when he was at the Senior Bowl. He's getting better as a pass rush or the passers win percentage is a little bit lower, but you just need a much higher floor when it comes to run defense.
Starting point is 00:58:03 And that's what Lee Hunter has been over the last two years, first at UCF and this past year at Texas Tech. And then Jacob Rodriguez, just the instincts that he has to be a centerpiece type of a player for you, you have Zaire Franklin as well. Okay, actually, yeah, yeah, let's see. Neville Gowmore is a free agent for them this year. Buddy Johnson is a free agent for them. So a Deft linebacker.
Starting point is 00:58:32 They're losing Samson, Ebucom, Quitty Pay. Braden Smith as well, I think that's kind of underrated. But they do have Jalen Travis. So, yeah, I feel great about this. I feel like these are the best. I think these are the best options for them here, getting Lee Hunter and Jacob Rodriguez, one of the better playmaking,
Starting point is 00:58:55 linebackers and just one the smartest linebackers that we have in the class. So there we go. All Texas Tech. Part of the best defensive, part of the best defense in the country. Now both of them going to Indianapolis. If we don't get the evil wheel at this point, I think you're just going to be mad. I mean, well, I, it's just all chance. So.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all chance. You just never know. You never know with this. Yeah, we'll do one more because the Colts only had those two picks there. So we will do one more for you guys. we'll give you a little bit of a bonus.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Let's spin the wheel, baby. What have we got? Let's see if we can finally give the chat what they want landing on the evil wheel. Oh, what do you know? What do you know? Wow. Wow, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:59:41 That's crazy. That's crazy. That's wild. I can't, I can't believe we landed on the evil wheel. Well, if we land on the evil wheel, you know what that means. We got to go to the evil wheel. Okay. So what do we have here? Heid reveal!
Starting point is 01:00:00 That wasn't me. That was an addict. I cannot lie. Gotta give credit where credits do. Three round speed run mock draft? No, just the third round. Just the third round. Okay. Speed run. Okay. Can we set that up? Can we do that? Yeah, we can, can we?
Starting point is 01:00:19 I don't think we can. I don't think we can only do the third round. I think the simulator has to, we'll make us pick every round. I don't think we can. Let me make a couple calls. Let me make a couple calls.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Okay, okay. You're showing your screen, by the way. Yeah, let me make a couple calls. Okay. All right, there we go. And then what? Height reveals insane. And then what's this last one?
Starting point is 01:00:48 First round mock draft speed run. Bad takes only? That's right. So it's just like the worst mock you've ever seen. Yeah, basically. Okay. All right, let's spin it. What's on evil or wheel?
Starting point is 01:01:05 Well, we don't know. We might not find out. Yeah, we might not find out. Industry sources, somebody said. Oh, boy, we're going to speed run a first round mock draft with bad takes. I don't make the rules. All right. So speed run within the evil wheel, we landed on first round mock draft speed run bad takes only.
Starting point is 01:01:30 So none of you are allowed to record this. None of you are allowed to clip this. There is no out of context things that you are allowed to do here on this show. I'm trusting you guys. Yeah, for sure, that'll happen. First round, speed around mock draft. Let's go. Okay, number one overall to the Las Vegas Raiders is Diego Pavia.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Diego Pavia is going number one overall. Was a Heisman Trophy finalist this past season. One of the most must-watch players in all of college football. he played just to bring Vanderbilt to the relevance that he that he was able to do over the last two years was unbelievable. You see the PFF numbers right there. They speak for themselves. So Diego Pavia very obviously going number one overall to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Starting point is 01:02:16 The Jets. What's a bad take here for the Jets? Jeremiah Love, I think probably makes the most sense for them here as a bad. take, they already kind of like had a good running back in Brees Hall, which maybe they will still have, but who knows after free agency. But I think that they could be a great one-two combo. And when you have so many holes to fill on the team, whenever you have the ability to go, you really invest in the running back position at, uh, with salary cap and with draft capital, um, you got to do it. So Jeremiah, I love at number two. Arizona Cardinals at number three.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Um, what would be a bad take for the Cardinals? at number three. Probably, probably, man, what's the worst? What's the worst? What's the bad take for the Cardinals? Probably a wide receiver, to be honest with you. Oh, no, Sadiq. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You already have, you already have, you already have, you already have, you already have Tray McBride. So Kenyon Sadiq, the freak athlete, obviously, that's where you've got to go here with him going number three overall. The Tennessee Titans, Fernando Mendoza, because I have a higher grade on Fernando Mendoza than I did on Cam Ward. So anytime you have the opportunity to upgrade at the quarterback position,
Starting point is 01:03:42 you obviously have to do it there. With the New York Giants, who would be bad for the Giants? Who would be bad for the Giants? Can we scroll down a little bit further? Let's see. Probably, I know that this is not a, I, oh, Keldrick Falk. Let's go Keldrick Falk here. Yeah, yeah, Keldrick Falk.
Starting point is 01:04:10 because the edge rusher from Auburn, I feel like he makes a ton of sense for them in a way that does not make any sense at all, because not really a great pass rusher. They've already overloaded on that position anyways, but yeah, I think that that would be a bad take there. Cleveland Brown's at number six. I would say Trinidad Chambers, but he might be the best quarterback on the team.
Starting point is 01:04:43 So probably not, actually. who's the bad take here for the Cleveland Browns. Brown's also kid Poppa. Yeah, Cade Club Nick. Let's go Kate Club Nick. Was seen as potentially QB1 in this class before the season. And I just think a great game manager, obviously somebody who plays the game at a very high IQ level.
Starting point is 01:05:15 It just needs some development. And I think that he'd form a really great trio of competition there, Cleveland and you can never have too much competition at the quarterback position there. For the Washington commanders, yeah, keep scrolling. Let's keep scrolling. Who's the worst pick for the commanders? They have so many needs that it's actually hard to do this. Dude, they have so many needs on this team.
Starting point is 01:05:54 I would like all of these players for them. Oh, Akeem Messador. That's actually funny. Yeah, Akeem Messador, because they are the oldest team in the last. league and they will be drafting one of the oldest prospects in the entire class. That's actually pretty funny. Yes, that's a bad take there with Messador. The Saints at number eight, Garrett Nussmeyer, of course.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Yeah, because his dad was the offense coordinator for the New Orleans Saints. And it's just a battle between him and Shuck that's going to be a stacked battle against Tyler Shuck because, again, Garrett Nussmeier, Doug. Well, Doug is still on the staff, right? Is he still in the staff? He's still on the staff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So Nussmeyer is basically just being handed the job then at that point.
Starting point is 01:06:47 The Kansas City Chiefs, that's a bad pick for the Chiefs. We're going Jonah Coleman. We're going Jonah Coleman here, the running back, who is, you already kind of complain about not having a ton of explosiveness for the running back position. And Jonah Coleman, I don't think has a lot of explosiveness. And so probably, yeah, probably. probably frustrating there for them. The Cincinnati Bengals,
Starting point is 01:07:26 the Bengals need everything. Oh, probably a wide receiver. That's probably the funniest. Let's go Jordan Tyson, just because of the injury history, although that is hilarious to have all three of those wide receivers on the same team. The Miami Dolphins at number 11.
Starting point is 01:07:44 What's a bad pick for the dolphins? Can I see guards? Can I see guards for the dolphins? No, these guys would actually make sense for this team. another left eqb oh yeah Casey Concepcion well no no no
Starting point is 01:08:15 no no no no wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait that could actually help them no no no no no actually that's a bad take yeah yeah yeah no no no no okay yeah yeah that's fine that works that works that works the Dallas Cowboys would be the worst pick for the Cowboys
Starting point is 01:08:32 would be the worst pick for the Cowboys probably another wide receiver let's go probably Denzel Boston, actually, the guys that are left. Because then, no, actually, he'd be pretty good. Now, probably Chris Bell. Chris Bell, because he's hurt. And then also, they don't have a wide receiver need at all if they resign George Pickens.
Starting point is 01:09:04 The Los Angeles Rams, I'm going to say Sunny Stiles because you guys roasted me for picking Sunny Stiles to the Los Angeles Rams like two months ago. And now it would actually potentially be a good pick for them there. and I got roasted so hard for it being a bad take. I'm going to unironically pick him here at number 13. The Ravens at 14. Who would the Ravens take at 14?
Starting point is 01:09:38 That would be bad. Probably a tight end, right? Who do we got a tight end? Michael Trigg. Let's take Michael Trigg here. Who likes to play making tight end? The Buccaneers at 15. Oh, this one's obviously got to be another wide receiver as well.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Cardinal Tate. We're taking Cardinal Tate to the Bucks. Yeah. Another wide receiver. right after taking a Mekebuka. The Jets. Who do we take for the Jets? Jeremiah Love.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Who would be bad for the Jets? Who would be bad for the Jets? Oh, probably offensive line. Yeah, Caleb Lomu, I think, would be pretty bad for them. I think that that would probably be a terrible take. Yeah, is Caleb Lomu. Because they already have their two offensive tackle spots. Caleb Lomu is more of a developmental offensive tackle anyways,
Starting point is 01:10:37 and he probably only plays, and he probably only can play tackle. He probably can't play guard. Fano can actually play guard. Oh, people are saying price. Yeah, that's funny. Give me Judarian Price. That's actually genius.
Starting point is 01:10:52 You guys are right. Anytime you could take a one-two combination of Jeremiah Love and Judarian Price. I mean, you simply have to do it. So my only hope is that they also re-signed Breece Hall in this regard. The Chet's ticket to running back. That's how you use draft capital, maybe. The Lions would be bad for the Lions. It would be bad for the Lions.
Starting point is 01:11:22 I feel like people get mad when I pick corner for them. Oh, let's go. I mean, this one isn't like the worst pick that you've ever seen, but I would think that it'd be, Jermon McCoy, we've unironically made this pick for them, but Lions fans correctly have pointed out, like, hey, their secondary was really beat up last year
Starting point is 01:11:40 and they were really hurt, and now you're going to pick a guy who hasn't played in a year because of a torn ACL. So let's actually take, let's actually take Jermon McCoy here in the Lions, which actually could work out. but I just think that a little bit of an OD you guys were calling us out on that one the last time. Minnesota Vikings, number 18.
Starting point is 01:11:57 What's a bad take here for the Vikings? Who'd be a bad take for the Vikings? Beck and 9 QB battle here. Oh, another wide receiver. Yeah, probably another wide receiver. But you just, you know, anytime you got a chance to pick Jeremy Bernard over Mackay Lemon and Denzel Boston, I think you got to do it. So, yeah, let's take Jeremy Bernard here at number 18 for the Vikings. The Carolina Panthers number 19, probably wide receiver again.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Well, no, actually, running back? Would running back be the worst take? Probably, yeah. Who we got a running back? Nick Singleton, anytime you have the ability to pick that kind of athleticism at the running back position. Yeah, I think that that's probably the way you got to. Or quarterback, where's quarterback?
Starting point is 01:13:04 People were saying they could draft another small quarterback as competition. Yeah, but Trinidad is actually good. It's a problem. No, no, no, we're going Nick Singleton. You got to go Nick Singleton. You got to up the athleticism in the backfield. You can never have too many running backs in today's age. Who did the Cowboys take at 12?
Starting point is 01:13:22 Who we give him at 12? Chris Bell. Ah, yes. Man, who's a bad pick for the Cowboys? I think Caden Proctor might be a bad pick for them. Tyler Van Dyke? All right, fine, sure. Yeah, that's fine.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Yeah, Tyler Van Dyke. Is this the only Tyler in the draft? I guess it is. Yeah, all right. Yeah, sure. give an oath to you, Tyler. He played for the Cowboys here. Tyler Van Dyke, there it goes.
Starting point is 01:14:09 I had no idea he was at SMU now. Haven't watched him in like two years. Pittsburgh Steelers at 21. You know what? You know what? For the Steelers at 21, I'm actually going to take Ty Simpson. And the reason why I'm going to take Ty Simpson,
Starting point is 01:14:23 funny enough is because John Ledier texted me after the last mock draft episode that we did. And he's like, I swear, I swear if they take Ty Simpson, like you guys said, that'll just be the cherry on top of a terrible offseason that they've already had. So this one's for you, John. I'll take a Thai Simpson.
Starting point is 01:14:38 The Chargers at 22, which offensive tackles are available? Which strictly only offensive tackles are available? Monroe Freeling. Got to be Monroe Freeling. Yeah. Yeah. Specifically offensive tackle. You can never have too many offensive tackles.
Starting point is 01:14:56 And I think that's a point that you've got to nail home. The Eagles at 23. It was a bad pick for the Eagles. Who is a bad pick for the Eagles? I don't know. Running back? I guess. Another undersized edge rusher?
Starting point is 01:15:26 That's actually kind of funny. Can I see edge rushers? I mean, our Mason Thomas is probably who I would go with. More white dvys. Okay, all right, Dylan Thineman. Give him Dylan Thineman. Go ahead. The Cleveland Browns is 20.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Who would I give them, who did they give the Cleveland Browns of six? I think Kate Klubnick. Yeah, yeah. Somebody said that no, Theteman's a good pick. That's true. Browns need Dion Sanders. Need another rookie QB. Let's see how many QBs we have.
Starting point is 01:16:16 What do we got a quarterback here for them? Oh, Drew Aller. I mean, just all the talent in the world. I mean, I still think there's something in there for him. So you got to get somebody with Premier Arm talent. I think that that's a really good call there. Chicago at 25. Probably, probably, is wide receiver the most redundant pick for them?
Starting point is 01:16:38 Or is it tight end? Oh, Chris Brasel? Yeah, I would not like that if they pick Chris Brasel. Everybody keeps saying Carson Beck. Let's go to tight end. Let's see tight end. Who we got to tight end, actually? Let's go Max Claire.
Starting point is 01:17:14 Max Claire. We got to get tight end three on this team. That's really what you don't think about. Not enough teams emphasize tight end three. So I think we've got to get tight end three here on this team. For the Buffalo Bills, we're going to go with Elijah Surat, the wide receiver from from Indiana. Because when you have a separation problem at wide receiver,
Starting point is 01:17:31 you've just simply got to pick another one. wide receiver who really struggles to separate. San Francisco 49ers at 27. Who's another, can I go to edge rushers? Who's an edge rusher who keeps scrolling down? Keep scrolling. Let's keep scrolling. Tyreeks Sapp.
Starting point is 01:18:05 I think, yeah, I think they really liked what they saw from Michael Williams this past season and Tyreeks Sapp being another heavy-handed run defense edge rusher with a single-digit passers win percentage. I think you got to be able to be in on that. The Houston Texans. The Houston Texans. No, actually, I'm giving the Houston Texans Rubin Bain here. Why?
Starting point is 01:18:35 Because that's quite literally hilarious if they were to get Rubin Bain with the defensive line that they already have. The Los Angeles Rams, I had, who did I have them taking? Oh, Sunny Stiles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good one. What's a redundant Rams need? Oh, give me Derek Moore. Because it's just the same type of edge rush.
Starting point is 01:18:59 They just drafted. They just drafted Josiah Stewart. So you're bringing the band back together. The second wave of pass rusher for the Rams is Derek Moore and Josiah Stewart like they were when they were at Michigan behind Byron Young and Jared Verse. So I just think, I don't know if that's a bad take actually because I think Derek Moore is a good football player. The Denver Broncos, everyone is screaming for Carson Beck. Are they screaming for Carson Beck for the Broncos specifically? Oh, let's go.
Starting point is 01:19:41 We're going to go Caden Proctor because he's going to play a tight end for them. Because you're going to throw him the football. He's going to be their Joker player. He's going to line up in the slot. Just think of how unbelievable he's going to be as a blocker to seal the edges for them, especially when they're running to the outside. Not seal the edges, but when he's a, when they're running to the outside, think of the impact blocker that he's going to be while also being able to be a great
Starting point is 01:20:03 red zone option for them as a receiver as well. He's the true Joker type that Sean Payton. has been waiting for. The New England Patriots at 31. What's redundant for the Patriots? Beck to the Pats is kind of funny. DeAngelo Ponds? Oh, hold on.
Starting point is 01:20:32 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. DeAngelo Pons, good football player, guys. Easy. What kicker do we have left? Yeah. You know what? I've often said this. You just, you can't have too many great punters.
Starting point is 01:20:57 So we're going to go with Jack Stonehouse, who's quite literally the last ranked player that we have on the PFF mock draft simulator. board. We're going to go Jack Stonehouse here. And then at number 32 for the Seattle Seahawks, of course, if they win the Super Bowl and Sam Donald is MVP and he's riding high. I mean, you can't, you can't, there's no such thing as being, you know, planning too far into the future.
Starting point is 01:21:18 So obviously we're going with Carson Beck. There we go. Yeah, somebody's calling me out tight. What kickers do we have left? There we go, folks. That is a speed run mock draft. Bad takes only. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
