The Niners can want more, but if no one else wants to pay it, that’s really irrelevant.

Why couldn’t we get Aiyuk for one second round pick?

I'd rather take my chances in the draft. Aiyuk is very good, but to me he's not a clearcut WR1 and wasn't one in SF...oh, and he wants to be paid. Seems like a bad year to trade draft assets for a guy like this...

They aren’t visiting Orchard Park

well, a good gauge is that in 2017, KC traded 27, a 2018 first, and a 2017 third to move up to 10...so the package you're talking about probably gets you to 16 or 17

Seems about right, except that in the real draft, I expect Penix and/or Nix to be off the board by now.

That’s about as much insight as that idea requires.

Absolutely f’ng not

I guess this takes Cooper DeJean off the table in round 1 😀

I like the idea of a more modest move up for Thomas, who has as high an upside as any of those guys. He’s a perfect fit for what we need.

Agreed. And I think Thomas has as much upside as any of those top 3. Gotta think he’s the target.

I’m assuming a trade for Aiuk or Higgins isn’t cap-feasible, right???

Maybe he’s helping the search for Rashee Rice…

Believe it or not, this is a win of sorts for the Cardinals. Could have been much worse, and they don’t have to pay his attorney fees.

The Broncos almost made the playoffs last year with the corpse of Russell Wilson. That franchise and that coach are not tanking and they will definitely try to find their QB in this draft. I don’t know why you say they won’t draft Penix or Nix…both are real possibilities.

There is zero evidence the Denver is tanking. It’s simply not a thing in the NFL, especially at this stage of the season.

With the 17th pick in the 2024 TSW Mock Draft 1.0, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Laiatu Latu, Edge/DE, UCLA. We were disappointed when Q Mitchell came off the board to Indy, but Latu, the best pure pass rusher in the draft, was a nice consolation. Not exactly a need, but certainly a great player at a premium position to pair with our own Josh Allen. @Might Rather is on the clock.

Who’s going to throw him the ball?

Seems about right…

In a year like this, it’s almost pointless to do a no-trade mock

I mean, is a rookie offensive tackle going to get them over the hump this year???

Jets would be insane to pass on Jayden Daniels here…fortunately, they’ll never get the chance IRL…

Simms's takedown of Maye on yesterday's podcast was merciless...and he said that his opinion is not an outlier in NFL circles...he said the Josh Allen comparisons are a joke.

The notion that Jayden Daniels is still on the board at this point (and Drake Maye is not) is kind of a joke...

Seems like a McBeane guy...
