Baron Browning LB

Trying to be as objective as possible... The Draft Network lists WR, CB, OT as the Lions' top needs. They took Chase in the 1st so OT or CB... Eric Stokes (CB, Georgia) and Dillon Radunz (OT, NDSU) are the best available on TDN's rankings, at those positions...

I guess Stokes seems logical.  Believe it should be defense after all of the offense picks early recently

Browning would be BPA in my opinion.

Completely indifferent to it. I think it's important to remember that this is just for fun and completely made up. As long as it's a sensible pick and not, like, a long snapper or something, probably worth just pulling the trigger and keepin' on keepin' on...

FYI,

 

We need CB OT 1T LB and safety.

The Steelers @Dont Stop Billeiving are on the clock 

[Dont Stop Billeiving]

With the 42nd selection of the 2021 TSW mock draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Creed Humphrey, Center, Oklahoma.

 

We have been eyeing this prospect since the beginning of the draft and in the second round, we are racing to the podium to turn in this card and lock down our franchise center. Humphrey is a two-time team captain and won Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year as a junior and again as a senior. He's a above average rather than elite athlete, but is a durable technician who can be a cornerstone for our franchise on and off the field.

 

Executing the trade back in the first round and selecting Najee Harris were both made with this pick in mind as well given the value in getting Humphrey at pick #42 and the fact he wouldn't have likely lasted until our original second rounder at #55. Humphrey projects as a Day 1 plus starter at center and should be an upgrade over the recently retired Maurkice Pouncey whose play had been declining. With these first two picks in Harris and Humphrey, we believe that we have brought in two really impressive reinforcements to protect Big Ben and reinvigorate the vaunted Pittsburgh rushing attack. 

 

P.S. Some team called the Bills has been kicking our butts the past two years...so we figured if you can't beat them, join them and now we are just going to draft former wrestlers who scream process. 

 

The 49ers and @HappyDays are on the clock.

[HappyDays]

With the 43rd pick, the San Francisco 49ers select Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia.  The Cowboys @Logic on the clock.

 

This was an easy one. I want to start off by thanking the Lions for taking the lesser of the two Georgia CBs.

 

Several times throughout the 2nd round I thought about trading up for Campbell, but I decided giving up more picks after giving away so much for Mac Jones would be too risky. Thankfully the player I've been targeting all along fell into my lap anyways.

 

The 49ers have very little depth at CB. Jason Verett is on a one year deal and has rarely stayed healthy and he's about to be 30. We came into the draft needing to find his replacement. Tyson Campbell gives us the athleticism that we covet at the position and he is easily BPA on our board at this point.

[Logic]

In the interest of keeping this draft moving along so that we can get it finished up by Memorial Day, I'll just make my pick immediately. This draft's already got more trades than Carter's got pills, anyway.

With the 44th pick in the TSW Mock Draft, The Dallas Cowboys select Jevon Holland, DB, Oregon

Our defense couldn't stop a nosebleed last year. We brought in Dan Quinn to right the ship, and drafted Jaycee Horn in the 1st round to bolster our pass defense. However, our starting safeties are set to be Damontee Kazee and Donovan Wilson. If you just said "What in the hell is a Damontee Kazee?!" or "didn't Donovan Wilson play at Woodstock?", you're not alone. Our safety pairing scares nobody. Holland provides positional versatility, as he can function as a traditional safety or a big nickel/slot corner. He's a versatile, playmaking chess piece. With Trevon Diggs, Jaycee Horn, and now Jevon Holland in the fold, we feel we have infused our secondary with exciting playmaking ability.

Defensive tackle was a consideration, but we like the depth of that class and feel we can find contributors in the third round. Offensive tackle was also considered, but Tyron Smith and La'el Collins will both be returning form injury, and we brought in giant mountain-sized space alien Ty Nsekhe via free agency to hold down the fort in case either isn't ready for opening day.

@NewEra and the future London Jaguars are now on the clock.

Ian Rapport has heard rumblings that the titans maybe interested in this spot here, but sources say its still in the early phases.

You are correct, he would not have made it to #55.  The Bengals were targeting at #49.

[NewEra]

My apologies for the hold up.  I flew the entire Jags front office out to Vegas for a 12 hour bender to celebrate the Chiefs bypassing Teven Jenkins.  Just got home.
 

With the 45th pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State. 

James O’Shaughnessy is currently our starting tight end and we don’t have a backup.  Need I say more? Carry on 

 

the Eagles and @Watkins101 are on the clock

I've currently got 5 names in mind for the Rams pick at 57. Please do me a favour and pick at least two of them today or I'm going to drive myself nuts.

With the 46th pick in the TSW Mock Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Asante Samuel Jr, CB, Florida State

Cornerback was arguably our biggest need coming into the draft. After adding a receiver and stud interior o-lineman with our first two selections, we were thrilled to see that Asante Samuel Jr was still available at this point in the second round. We feel he's a starter right off the bus. 

@glazeduck and the San Diego Los Angeles SuperChargers are now on the clock

[Watkins101]

With the 46th pick of the 2021 NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Ifeatu Melifonwu, Cb, Syracuse.

 

We need a Cb desperately to start opposite Darius Slay, and Melifonwu has the potential to become a fantastic Cornerback, with measurables off the charts. While he’s raw now, we’re hoping he develops quickly. 

The chargers @glazeduck are on the clock.

So y'all are rolling with Jalen Hurts in 2021???

Do you think they’re going to draft a qB in round 1?  If they don’t draft a QB in rd 1, they’ll be going with hurts.  I’d be shocked if they draft a Qb in rd 1 after trading down.  Kyle Trask in rd 2 isn’t going to beat Hurts out imo

Right. And they traded out of their top 10 pick to boot. They're rolling with Hurts.

The Eagles are in a tough position.  They probably don't want to roll with Hurts as the uncontested starter, but as you point out, they probably won't use their first round pick on a QB, especially after trading back.  I'm thinking maybe they take chance on Trask or Mond in round 2, to give Hurts some competition.  Some people think Mond is being seriously underrated.  

[bkep32]

With the 47th Pick in the 2021 TSW Mock draft, the Tennessee Titans Select - Kelvin Joseph - CB - Kentucky

 

 We are very excited to move up and grab this kid out of Kentucky.  We have him as the 5th best CB in the draft, and we saw the run on dbs starting around pick 41.  Everytime a DBs name was called in the last few picks that wasnt our guy we did a fist pump and kept on the phone to get a deal done.  We solidified are pass rush with Kwity now we need to sure up the backend.  We cant let Mahomes keep slinging the ball all over the place.  We lost adoree and malcolm this year.  We think adding Kelvin into the mix with 2nd yr guy Kristian Fulton and FA Janoris Jenkins, this could be the start of a great secondary.  As he doesnt show the great speed he as great ball skills for a nice sized DB.  He plays hard and agressive and is good in press man.  Can recognize plays quickly which makes up for the quick burst.  Cant wait to get this kid in OTAs

 

@MAJBobby and the Panthers are on the clock.

Good point. I forgot about Mond.  That a possibility I suppose.  Even if they draft Mond, Hurts is still likely to be the unquestioned starter (to open the season at least)

To me, a pick like Mond actually makes the situation worse -- it's throwing good money after bad. Unless somebody just absolutely believes in him (and for whatever reason ALSO is really out on Hurts), that's not really going to "fix" things. If anything, it's spending a 2nd round pick on a guy who's probably -- at best -- a similar player with less understanding of the offense, less chemistry with the OL/WRs/staff. While at the same time causing confidence issues with Hurts. And none of that even accounts for the opportunity cost of not being able to improve the roster elsewhere with that high 2nd rd pick.

Well, that depends on how good Mond turns out to be.  If he’s better than Hurts and turns out to be their starter for the next 10 years than I can’t see how it would be bad.  It might make the 2021 situation worse, but in the scheme of building a franchise, who give a ****?  It’s one season.  A season in which they have little to no chance to win a SB.  Finding a qb = #1 priority. Give Hurts some competition and force him to step his game up.  If one 2nd rd pick is going to keep him from becoming the best he can be, than he’s already not the answer

Agreed. I just see no sense in continually drafting middling QBs that might be something -- especially when you're trading out of a position to get one of the top guys that feel a lot more likely than "might"...

[MAJBobby]

With the 48th Pick in the 2021 TSW Mock Draft the Carolina Panther select, Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB, Syracuse.  The Bengals @Just Joshin' are on the Clock.

 

The Panthers changed up their plan at the last minute after failing to secure a tradeup.  Ifeatu's value is right here and am immediate starting outside CB in our Zone Heavy coverage schemes.  His length, ball skills, and backfield reading ability are ideal in our Zone.  Plays run support well, enough to help in that area.   And has the athletic profile to play Press  Coverage as well, though needs refinement in his man techniques.  There is alot of technique refinement for us to ensure he reaches his full potential, but an ascending talent in the draft with his very good pro-day matching his tape.  

 

Then there is the Bonus in 4 years when is Rookie deal is over, Brandon Beane will sign him (because we all know we are the Bills Farm team 😁).

All depends on their evaluation of the “middling” QBs.  Basically every QB not drafted in the top 10 is deemed middling and there’s been a BUNCH of middling qbs that turned out to be franchise guys.  It’s a roll of the dice based on your evaluation of the qb

Exactly.  Some people have Mond rated higher than Fields or Lance...if the Eagles agree (no idea if they do) then the pick makes sense.  Obviously, they aren’t going to take him if they don’t think he can be an upgrade over Hurts...

12 left in my Top 50

[Just Joshin']

With the 49th pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select Nick Bolton, LB, Missouri. 

 

The Bengals need to get better on D.  With DTs coming back from injury, LB was a clear need.  Bolton is a 2 time all SEC LB who can grow into playing all 3 downs.  He plays with an attitude and he plays fast.  He is not afraid of contact but needs to shed blockers better.

 

With the first 2 rounds (3rd round pick traded to move back into 1st) the Bengals have added:

Christian Darrisaw, OT

Kadarius Toney, WR

Jayson Oweh, Edge

Nick Bolton, LB

 

While still a few years from contending in a tough division, these player will improve Cincinnati as a team overall. 

 

The Bucs @BigdaddyinOrlandoare on the clock. 

 

Thanks for organizing and executing @Virgil and @whatdrought.

With the 50th pick the defending super bowl champions select, Payton Turner, edge from the University of Houston

 

 Turner comes with an NFL ready size and strength. He wins with excellent pass rush moves and burst. With Suh and Gholston still there he won’t be pressed for heavy playing time and learn from these two who are both over the age of 30. He will transition to starter smoothly. 
 

The Panthers @majbobby and the 51st pick are now on the clock.
