Mock Drafts

[Shanemansj13]

well, basically everyone has the same top 3 or 4,,,

Yeah this year the top 3 is set in stone unless the Giants do something crazy. I do wonder if we see a bunch of trades though after that

I dunno, I think the #1 is set in stone, #2& 3, the players are set, but I'm not so sure about the order. Could be Carter then Hunter, or Hunter then Carter

Isn't it all about surrounding Caleb with weapons? I get the train of thought in that regard.

They paid Kmet. Then didnt use him until they needed him to fill in as the long-snapper.
Kmet is good enough.

Caleb needs time in the pocket. He needs a LT.

Bears trade up for Membou or Banks, Jeanty and Hampton go after the tackles and Raiders take a TE at 10 cause they're the Raiders

I'd love to laugh at this and say no way, but totally sounds like the effed up shit they're known for

I would be shocked at this point if the Browns don't draft Hunter....so they probably take Shedeur

Bears moving up for Carter >>>>> moving up for a RB

That would be crazy if they moved up for Jeanty…not crazy moving up for Carter though

why oh why take Dart within the top ten?

Who told him?
And he believed him?
How do these folks have jobs?

It is literally a rumor based job. If you are wrong, you still have a job. If you are right some of the time, you get to talk on tv or your podcast about it and people will watch

Kinda like a weatherman

This is fun until it isn't fun

I would say that's probably accurate. Only back I would say is comparable and thus not worth trading up to get Jeanty, would be if you felt really good about taking Hampton, and that he would be there at whatever pick your sitting on.

There is some logic there. The Dolphins must have thought Waddle was a 1st round pick better than Devonta Smith. He wasn't, but Chase was. Very slim margin between looking like a genius and a fool.

I saw a mock draft with Trevor and Connor where one of them had the Niners and Giants making the trade. Niners for Carter, Giants get a future 1st and either a 3rd or 4th as the Niners have extras. Its very plausible.

@Shanemansj13
don't count on your Travis Hunter/Abdul Carter just yet -

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport confirms the Jaguars are the “team to watch” heading into Thursday evening’s Round 1.
“My understanding is the Jacksonville Jaguars are plotting a potential move to No. 2,” said Rapoport on Thursday. “It’s not done, and I don’t think anything will be done until they’re on the clock. And I don’t even know if the Browns are going to do it, but the Jaguars are at least plotting.” The Browns are heavily favored to select Travis Hunter with the second overall pick, but the Jaguars appear intent on making things interesting.

Wouldn't Hunter/Carter still be 2/3, just gotta find out which team they're on

An NFC scouting director probably offered the most illuminating quote on Sanders' makeup:

"When you hear all the anecdotal stories about the person, it's not that he's a bad kid. He has been so insulated. It's going to be a culture shock when he really learns how a locker room really operates and how it really works inside a building. He's had so much input on the offensive game plan and who the coach is, and everything's been catered to him. When you walk in one of these [NFL] buildings, no one's going to give a s*** about that. No one cares who your dad is. You're going to have to end up fighting through some adversity. The plays aren't going to be called to exactly what you want to run. Even last year with [Colorado offensive coordinator Pat] Shurmur, a lot of the mistakes he made was stuff that he just decided to call at the line of scrimmage himself, and there's no recourse of him making those decisions. Whereas, in a real locker room, you make a couple of those decisions, you get your ass ripped so bad that you never want to do it again."
