April 21, 20232 yr comment_197777 Place your final mock drafts here. I'm leaving for Puerto Rico tomorrow, so I will submit mine tonight. Let's see if we get any right. Bear down boys! Report
April 22, 20232 yr comment_197785 PFN's drafts are so crazy. I got Will Anderson at 9. Super unrealistic. So are the trade offers. Report
April 22, 20232 yr comment_197787 I agree, but that is about it for simulators that don't make you subscribe. Report
April 23, 20232 yr comment_197788 I have heard that after Young, Stroud, Robinson, Anderson, and Carter, their isn't much grade difference from there down to the top 3rd of the 2nd round. If Carter don't drop, I can see Poles making a trade to get another 2nd tired player. Our 2 2nds are somewhat out of that range, so I can see him making a move. I used the PFN simulator to give me the players as they slotted. Took a trade with the Saints. Pick 9 for 29, 40, and 71. I was eyeing Zac Kuntz TE at pick 103, but he was selected and took best CB. I know the D-line wasn't addressed high, but feel pieces were added to develop while addressing the needs to help elevate Fields. I feel Fields needs the pieces first then if he does elevate Poles has ammo and alot of cap next year to concentrate of making the D a monster again. Report
April 23, 20232 yr comment_197789 Was Benton available when you took Dexter? That's the only thing different I would do. Nice draft. Report

I felt Dexter had the higher ceiling where Benton had the higher floor especially at 3T. I have Tuli as a 3T/DE and Dexter as possibly a pure 3T that can excel with the right coaching. I like Benton, he will be a long time player but not sure if he is the 1T or 3T. Report
April 23, 20232 yr comment_197796 Brandon Thorn likes Benton a lot rates him in his top 5 DL ahead of several big names. Report
April 24, 20232 yr comment_197813 My guess at this point: 9) Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State 53) Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin 61) Derick Hall, DE, Auburn 64) Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami *Trade down the first pick of the 4th round and get a lower 4th, a 5th, and a 4th next year 4*) Jonathan Mingo, WR, Mississippi 133) Byron Young, DT, Alabama 136) Juice Scruggs, C, Penn State 5*) Sean Tucker, RB, Syracuse 148) Daniel Scott, S, California 218) Jake Witt, OT, Northern Michigan 258) Marte Mapu, LB, Sacramento State Report
April 24, 20232 yr comment_197819 Wish this would happen. I don't think Paris Johnson going to be there at 9 which probably means Carter drops to 9. Report

Everyone else you picked I'd be very happy with. Great draft. Report

If we end up going OT, I hope it's Wright. Report
April 25, 20232 yr comment_197851 I'm sticking with my 2.0 9) Paris Johnson Jr. OT Ohio State 53) Keon White DE Georgia Tech 61) Joe Tippmann OC Wisconsin 64) Gervon Dexter DT 3T Florida 103) Jayden Reed WR Michigan State 133) Jartavius Martin CBN Illinois 136) Kenny McIntosh RB Georgia 148) Andrew Vorhees OG USC 218) Aubrey Miller OLB Jackson State or can't decide Andrei Isoivas WR Princeton 248) Jake Moody PK Michigan Report
April 26, 20232 yr Author comment_197863 You guys should look at the ESPN draft simulator. Nobody offers trades, but you can. Seems weighted well... Report
April 26, 20232 yr comment_197878 I want them to trade back from the 9 pick and acquire a bit more, but if stays as is: 9) Paris Johnson Jr. OT Ohio State (Protect Fields at all cost. This is a cohesion pick as well.) 53) Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern (3T waiting to happen) 61) Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, USC (Not really sure why he isn't going higher. He looks really good.) 64) D.J. Turner, CB, Michigan (Say it with me, "4.26 forty.") 103) DeMarvion Overshown, LB, Texas (A safety turned hyper-athletic LB? Hmmm...reminds me of someone.) 133) Olusegun Oluwatimi, C, Michigan (How is the Rimington and Outland guy rated so low? No brainer.) 136) Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama (Insurance for Kmet) 148) Viliami Fehoko, DE, San Jose State (My third Islander this draft. He has great pass rush skills.) 218) Malik Cunningham, QB, Louisville (Always draft a QB. This kid has skills.) 248) Jordan McFadden, OG, Clemson (I like how the knock on this guy is that he's not big enough, even though he's 300lbs.) Report
April 26, 20232 yr comment_197879 Love that draft other than taking a RB at 103 instead of a LB. Poles will be getting some extra picks so I also expect a WR. Report
April 27, 20232 yr Author comment_197896 Because this draft is becoming an addiction, here's another one. Made two trades to get more picks in the solid part of the draft. Report

Gotta get my wishlist in writing: (used Daniel Jeremiah's top 150 rankings). Most of my mocks to date I've drafted 2 DTs but this time grabbed two Edge defenders. 9) Darnell Wright RT 53) Keeanu Benton DT 61) Derek Hall Edge 64) Julius Brents CB 103) Isaiah Foskey Edge 133). Luke Wypler C 136) Chase Brown RB 148). Xavier Hutchinson WR 218). Payne Durham TE 248) Chamarri Conner S Report
April 27, 20232 yr comment_197898 Those are good names but I think the first 4 picks need to be starters. Musgrave and Mingo could be future starters, granted Wypler could be a starter in his first year. The CB is only 5'8", and 176 with 29" arms. I don't think Poles drafts a CB that small. Coburn's size is that of a 3 T but only had 7 sacks in 1600 snaps. Report
April 27, 20232 yr comment_197907 Just going to put out one "my guys" mock draft before it all gets blown to hell: 9) Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State 53) Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State 61) Clark Phillips, CB, Utah *Trade down in the 3rd get a low 5th & a 6th *3) AT Perry, WR, Wake Forest 103) Zacch Pickens, DT, South Carolina 133) Kobie Turner, DT, Wake Forest 136) Cory Trice, CB, Purdue 148) Ji'Ayir Brown, S, Penn State 5*) Alex Forsyth, C, Oregon 6*) Will Mallory, TE, Miami 218) Dorian Thompson-Robinson, QB, UCLA 258) Xazavian Valladay, RB, Arizona State Report
