Mock Drafts

My favorite draft line: Emeka Egbuka under pick 28.5, -150 on fanatics

I think he'll be the 2nd WR off the board behind Tet and will go in top 25

He is NFL ready unlike Golden but people get enamored with combine warriors...

The Rams is a perfect spot

I do have one theory but it is a bit far-fetched. The Bears trade up to #4 and jump LV and JAX to grab Jeanty.

Local chatter has the Bears trading down. The GM Poles has done that to acquire picks. (But that was back when we had none thanks to the previous regime.) Who knows if Ben Johnson has other ideas?

So far I think I've heard reports that every team in the top half is looking to trade down, and little to nothing about teams wanting to move up

Denver is the only team I've heard with somewhat credible rumbles about moving up. It's a buyer's market this year.

He's my fav. WR in the entire draft. Dunno where the Tet and Golden stuff is coming from.

The top is similar to my last mock. I say mock draft WITH TRADES but I only had one trade LOL. I obviously expect more in the real draft. It's just so difficult to project trades so I kept it simple here.

I now have Golden dropping out of the 1st. I mean I guess he could go to Seattle or late 1st but I see Seattle go OL or possibly TE if Loveland falls to them

Eagles DL getting Pearce isn't fair at all to opposing OLs

I don't know if there should be more than 1, MAYBE two WR's in the first this year. It's not a great draft for WR's. Plenty of contributors, sure, but not many game changers, which is what you should expect from your #1 pick

I was thinking the same. Pearce is a guy I feel like could drop or he could go top 15

Yeah not counting Hunter. It's Mcmillan that is a sure 1st rounder. Then you have possibles like Golden, Egbuka and possibly Burden at the end.

True, not counting Hunter.

I still see his most success at corner, not WR. And that's my guess as to his usage.. primarily DB, with specific packages/ situations where he's used at WR.

But, yeah, there will likely be 3, or more, taken day 1, but don't think there should be

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Sprinkled a couple more draft night bets in, Membou going under pick 6.5 +200 and Jeanty going over pick 6.5 +300

Thinking the bad teams focus on trenches over RB and we see Jags or Raiders get Membou at 5 or 6.

Also don't think Jeanty is a top 6 worthy RB, but I could be wrong. If this RB class is as sneaky deep as some believe, would make sense to see Jeanty slide to the back half of top 15

 

[Shanemansj13]

Mcshay said the Jags are not taking Graham and the Raiders are not taking Jeanty.
Bears and Broncos want to move up. Payton wants Jeanty

I don't get why Da Bears want to move up. I totally believe that they do, I just don't see why. Hey Vegas, do the deal, make em pay. I got zero problems with you trading back, gathering picks, and taking O. Hampton later.

At the Raiders spot and needs that would be ideal. Here you go Denver...the #6 pick...give us 20, your 1st next year and another mid round pick this year

Yes please

Imagine sending that package for a RB in today's game instead of just drafting Hampton themselves

Yeah I still don’t see Denver doing something like that…crazy move. You only make that move for a QB. I could even vouch for a generational player at a PREMIUM position but not RB
