Love it! spit balling here so check me if I'm out of line but I'm thinking: We bet $25 he goes in the top 10 period. If he goes #2 to the Browns you pay double ($50) If Dart goes before him I pay double ($50) Payment is a donation to the charity of the winners choice.

With the 7th pick the New Jersey Jets select Will Campbell, OT, LSU. I thought about going QB here but I can see the Jets giving Fields a chance here a la Goff in Detroit. Although RT is the need, Campbell can start right away and get a chance to prove himself as a tackle. @Bill from NYC and the Panthers are on the clock.

I whole heartedly agree with your logic. I guess I just expect the Browns to be the Browns lol. That said I'd be willing to make a friendly charity wager if you are interested... That 4th pick is really the lynchpin for the whole draft and I think everything is on the table. Does a QB needy team trade up? Do the Patriots go interior DL or Edge? Do they go OL? This is one of the more interesting drafts to me because of the lack of top end talent and seeing how it shakes out. I think we see some teams get pegged for "reaches" as draft boards will be all over the place. If the Pats stay put I also think they go defense and its either Graham or Walker. Boy pinning your hopes on Kenny Pickett is almost as bad as trading the farm for Watson. As I mentioned above though the Browns are gonna Brown lol.

Story broke a day or two ago that Walker "has a lot of fans" among the Patriots. https://nesn.com/2025/04/nfl-draft-rumors-this-prospect-has-lot-of-fans-in-patriots/ Obviously it's lying season but I don't really see how lying about this would benefit anyone as mentioned 4 is kind of a tough spot to be in IF (and I think it's a big if) Sanders doesn't go in the first 3 picks. I just can't move off of him going to Cleveland as it is the perfect marriage of imperfect prospect and imperfect franchise willing to do anything to not have to trot out Watson next year.

Hey I got one! CJ West would be a great pick for the Bills at the start of Round 4. I wouldn't mind doubling up on the 1T spot but I like West as an option especially this late. As for McCord I'm local to Syracuse and he is an interesting prospect. He played very well at times but seems to have a back breaking int at the worst times. He also had a Peterman game last year. I've been trying to think of a comp for him and I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is a pretty good place to start. Not the strongest arm but always willing to challenge a defense. That said, he is the best passer of the football I have seen in Syracuse since I don't know when.

No preference I'll take whoever. I also wouldn't hate a trade down to recoup a 3rd rounder but I see your answer above

My debate was with Williams before drafting Taylor but I had already drafted a tackle that may need to kick inside so I didn't want to double up with that.

@gonzo1105 is on the clock. The Patriots select Mason Taylor, TE, LSU Patriots finish up the mock with upgrades at DL, OL, WR, and TE. Maye leaned heavily on Hunter Henry last year and gets another big target TE. Only TE in LSU history with over 100 catches and 1000 yards. Not the best blocker there is time to develop that in his game.

Spreadsheet up to date: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13E6NwiyWwlG63ERgr8aJWnE67diI_DqCVNDvE4c2U4c/edit?gid=0#gid=0 There are still a couple of 1Ts out there. This is a no trade mock draft so there can't be movement made here but I was just looking at the trade value chart. If the Bills packaged every pick they had left they could only get as high as San Frans 75th pick. I think the real draft will have more 1Ts available at this spot but also think the Bills will have had more available at each of their spots so perhaps the position will already have been addressed.

With the 69th pick the patriots select Isaiah Bond, wr Texas. @TPS and the jags are up. Easy selection here. Pats need wr help and diggs can teach him to be a true diva wr lol. Red flags be dammed this is late enough to take a flyer.

Let's not forget the Eagles needed secondary help badly last year and doubled up in round 1 and 2. The picks ended up being very good but let's not pretend like they didn't draft for need just last year. (and like most teams do each year) I love your second point though and why I love these mock drafts. They give people a good idea of what happens depending on what position is selected in each round. I think a 1T that can be a difference maker is much more likely to be available at the picks in round 2 than a say 1 cb but Kenneth Grant is also my draft crush this year so I have to be fluid.

Freudian slip here? lol With the 38th pick the New England Patriots select Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota St. Patriots need oline help badly. He's a mountain of a man without the arm length concerns of a Will Campbell. Zabel has played tackle but may need to move inside. He has played 4 of the 5 spots on the line and the Patriots need help everywhere so this is an ideal pick that can slot in wherever he proves to be most effective. @GunnerBill and the Bears are on the clock.

This is a very impractical idea. Christmas happens so late in the season that the teams will either be on short rest or very long rest. If KC gets to host each year then they are guaranteeing a rest/travel advantage for themselves in week 16 each year. I think competitively it is entirely unfair for the Chiefs. Which means it will likely happen lol.

He just feels like a Browns pick for better or worse. They need a QB in the worst way and aren't scared away by character concerns, Deion, or the "protecting his stats" narrative. I think his absolute floor is the Saints at 9. That being said if he makes it past 9 the next team that may be in the QB market is Pittsburgh at 21 so it would be quite the fall past 9. I think Dart is the guy who slips, there is always a random qb that "shoots up draft boards" in the media and then ends up not being the reality. I could see the Browns or Giants trading up (Giants with Bills maybe?) to grab Dart if he is still sitting there and you are correct that they don't want Sanders. I do like the Dart to Rams idea that @Alphadawg7 had here as I think sitting behind Stafford AND working with McVay is a dream scenario for him. I will be absolutely shocked if Milroe goes round 1.

Another thing I have noticed is people drafting their Bills draft crush for other teams when acting as the GM. It might not be a team fit for who they are drafting for but it is a player they have looked into and really like. This can sometimes lead to a bit of a bare cupboard when the Bills come on the clock.

I am torn between these 2 and leaning Amos for the exact same reason. I really want a 1t at this pick but can't argue with plugging the other biggest hole ( see on the roster.

With the 27th pick the Baltimore Ravens select Malaki Starks, S, Georgia. Kyle Hamilton moving back to the safety position transformed the Ravens defense last year. Adding Starks allows either to move into the Joker role and keep defenses guessing. The Lions and @TOboy are on the clock.

Me too. I want 2 big fat rookies to anchor the middle of the line. 1 early and 1 late. None of these 290 something DTs I want 310+ at a minimum lol.

Fair enough, I'm in either way.

In a dynasty league I think a salary cap or some sort of roster movement being forced is actually good for the league. If there isn't any difficulty to keeping players or decisions to be made you will end up with a couple of super teams that can't be beaten which will drive people from the league. The best part of dynasty for me is those off season decisions and not just building but maintaining your team. I really like this idea. It might be difficult to organize as I don't know if sleeper can handle that but this would be a cool idea. Perhaps SDS could add something as well to recognize the champ on the board maybe where it says community member replace it with tbd champ or something.

Spreadsheet is up to date. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13E6NwiyWwlG63ERgr8aJWnE67diI_DqCVNDvE4c2U4c/edit?gid=0#gid=0 It looks like the Bills will have some options at positions of need without reaching very far.

Im definitely interested I would say $100 buy in is likely better than 25 as it makes sure people take it seriously and don't bail.

Yeah if it was me picking how I would draft, I certainly would have gone OT there. I just don't know that the Dolphins would make the safe "boring" pick. As I mentioned style over substance seems how they run the organization. It seems ridiculous that they haven't prioritized the oline with how fragile Tua is but I digress. Campbell's short arms are a serious issue but I think 13 is a great spot to stop the slide. He or Johnson would be a better pick for them imo.

I'll make up for mine. With the 13th Pick the Miami Dolphins select TE Tyler Warren from PSU. It would make so much sense for the Dolphins to draft a tackle here. Unfortunately they love style over substance. Warren can be their Kittle and add even more threats to their offense. @CNYfan is on the clock
