Gonzo Day 2 Mock

[gonzo1105]

32. Pittsburgh Steelers- Joey Porter Jr. CB Penn State University

33. Arizona Cardinals- Isaiah Foskey DE University of Notre Dame

34. Detroit Lions- Michael Mayer TE University of Notre Dame

35. Indianapolis Colts- Josh Downs WR University of North Carolina

36. LA Rams- Will Levis QB  University of Kentucky

37. Seattle Seahawks- Keion White DE Georgia Tech University

38. Las Vegas Raiders- Matthew Bergeron OT University of Syracuse

39. Carolina Panthers- Cam Smith CB  University of South Carolina

40. New Orleans Saints- O'Cyrus Torrence OG University of Florida

41. Tennessee Titans- Hendon Hooker QB University of Tennessee

42. Green Bay Packers- Sam LaPorta TE University of Iowa

43. New York Jets- Blake Freeland OT Brigham Young University

44. Atlanta Falcons- Brian Branch S University of Alabama

45. Green Bay Packers- Jonathan Mingo WR University of Mississippi

46. New England Patriots- Jalin Hyatt WR University of Tennessee

47. Washington Commanders- Joe Tippmann OC University of Wisconsin

48. Detroit Lions- Adetomiwa Adebawore DT University of Northwestern

49. Pittsburgh Steelers- Drew Sanders LB University of Arkansas

50. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Trenton Simpson LB University of Clemson

51. Miami Dolphins- Tucker Kraft TE South Dakota State University

52. Seattle Seahawks- Steve Avila OG Texas Christian University

53. Chicago Bears- Gervon Dexter DT University of Florida

54. LA Chargers- B.J. Ojulari DE LSU

55. Detroit Lions- Cody Mauch OG North Dakota State University

56. Jacksonville Jaguars- Byron Young DE University of Tennessee

57. New York Giants- John Michael Schmitz OC University of Minnesota

58. Dallas Cowboys- Luke Musgrave TE Oregon State University

59. Buffalo Bills- Jartavius Martin Safety University of Illinois

 

- Much like the Dalton Kincaid pick, I don't expect this pick to be initially popular for fans. Martin is a jack of all trades defensive back who would be a great special teamer in year 1 before replacing either Jordan Poyer or Micah Hyde next year. Martin lacks bulk but he is a very willing tackler, has flex position wise. I will readily admit that I believe Buffalo will trade down from this spot. The OL Targets are off of the board. If you want Dawand Jones I get it but not sure the Bills do and the rest of the OT/IOL guys and DT's worthy of taking at this selection are gone. I do not include Benton from Wisconsin as a worthy 2nd round pick hence why I think a trade down is a serious consideration to regain picks.

 

60. Cincinnati Bengals- Zach Charbonnet RB UCLA

61. Chicago Bears- Julius Brents CB Kansas State University

62. Philadelphia Eagles- Sydney Brown S University of Illinois

63. Kansas City Chiefs- Dawand Jones OT Ohio State University

 

3rd Round

64. Chicago Bears- Derick Hall DE University of Auburn

65. Houston Texans- Cedric Tillman WR University of Tennessee

66. Philadelphia Eagles- Carter Warren OT Pittsburgh 

67. Denver Broncos- D.J. Turner CB University of Michigan

68. Denver Broncos- Tyler Steen OT/OG University of Alabama

69. LA Rams- Yaya Diaby DE University of Louisville

70. Las Vegas Raiders- Clark Phillips CB University of Utah

71. New Orleans Saints- Darnell Washington TE University of Georgia

72. Tennessee Titans- Tyler Scott WR University of Cincinnati

73. Houston Texans- Darius Rush CB University of South Carolina

74. Cleveland Browns- Keannu Benton DT University of Wisconsin

75. Atlanta Falcons- Kobie Turner DT Wake Forest University

76. New England Patriots- Antonio Johnson S Texas A &M

77. LA Rams- Isaiah McGuire DE University of Missouri

78. Green Bay Packers- Nick Saldiveri OL Old Dominion University

79. Indianapolis Colts- Daiyan Henley LB Washington State University

80. Pittsburgh Steelers- Marvin Mims WR University of Oklahoma

81. Arizona Cardinals- Zacch Pickens DT University of South Carolina

82. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Luke Schoonmaker TE University of Michigan

83. Seattle Seahawks- Dorian Williams LB Tulane

84. Miami Dolphins- Chandler Zavala OG NC state

85. LA Chargers- Brenton Strange TE Penn State

86. Baltimore Ravens- Tyrique Stevenson CB Miami

87. Minnesota Vikings- Riley Moss DB Iowa

88. Jacksonville Jaguars- Jordan Battle S Alabama

89. New York Giants- Nathaniel Dell WR Houston

90. Dallas Cowboys- Israel Abanikanda RB Pittsburgh

91. Buffalo Bills- Siaki Ika DT Baylor

- The Bills want to get bigger on the Defensive Line and have no one under contract after this year. Ika fits the mold and will be an eventual replacement for Daquan Jones or in a rotation with him if they re-sign him at some point before he gets the market.

A safety when this board has been screaming for OL or MLB?

 

You about to be roasted gotta appeal to the masses! 

[frostbitmic]

If Dawand Jones was available and think the Chiefs want him, I'd take him just to **** with them.

 

Screwing over both the Cowboys and the Chefs would make this draft a solid A.

[TOboy]

Nice job on the mock, but I’d be going crazy if they didn’t take Jones in that scenario.

Ahh, I think Jones is one of those problem big guys. If Beane packaged 137 and 59, by the standard chart he could get to 55. I'd trade up for Mauch or Schmitz. Like Ika at 91, btw.

I’d be down with that. Unless an unexpected weapon is available (Hyatt?), I feel pretty strongly we need to address the lines or LB tonight. 

[Bill from NYC]

Yes a safety would be great in round two! I mean, who needs blocking for a future HOF QB? 

 

All jokes aside, a safety or corner is what I sadly expect.

I fully expect a trade back in round 2. I don’t see an OL to draft at 59 and I don’t see them giving up equity to trade up unless they really love someone and it’s close to their pick 

[NewEra]

I think Martin is a helluva player.  Pass

 

Ika in rd 3 would be nice

I’ll only invite him if he agrees to play LT and no I’m not kidding

Trenton Simpson and Drew Sanders are still there. I'm not sure they get to 59 or even in range of a trade up. I like Mingo and Hyatt at 59, but unless you're trading Gabe Davis, I don't see how one could justify a second round pick on WR given the distribution of available targets now that Kincaid has been added. Adebewore, Benton, Pickens, Dexter, and Ika (lot of good to decent DTs available day 2). There are some good veteran FAs still out there at edge, so I think Beane will concentrate in the middle.

Honestly, I've thought about this. I think he might be a Jason Peters story if he is open to it.

That would be part of his duties. 

[SCBills]

I want to die after reading our picks in your mock. 
 

Im just not, at all, interested in drafting guys on Day 1 or Day 2 that won’t immediately impact.  Especially at 59.  
 

Ika is fine, as long as we’re good with his medicals.

I don’t know how his agent hasn’t told him to to vouch for that. Left Tackles are so critical and he could make way more as a Tackle than a TE. It would be such a business savvy move

Not sure Simpson or Sanders gets to us, but would be thrilled with either. 
 

Hyatt could be the long term replacement for Gabe. He’s not a high target guy anyway, but tracks those deep balls so well it’s tantalizing to think of him catching bombs from Josh. 
 

But yeah, after LB (and the two aforementioned are probably the only ones I’d grab at 59) both lines should be the priority. Go with best big boy available. 

[BillsFanForever19]

You do know we have Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, signed Taylor Rapp, and Damar Hamlin is returning, right? 

 

Even if you want to make the argument that Hyde and Rapp only have one year on their deal - that's something you address next season.

 

We need a LB, OL Help, and an X WR. Spending both Day 2 Picks on things we'll need next season is madness. Especially when we went TE Round 1.

[Coach Tuesday]

Would continue the yearly tradition of Beane throwing his second round pick in the garbage so…

Yea Martin is a hell of a player so I think that’s hyperbole but immediate impact I get it but there are no OL worth it at this pick. You could argue Benton with me for sure and I could register that

if the board falls the way you project, I think the Bills would take one of these three players before Martin. 

[billsbackto81]

I wouldn't mind Martin if Beane doesn't land who he truly desires. The guy is a physical freak who's always around the ball and plays all secondary positions at a repectable level.

I disagree I don’t think Dawand Jones is high on the board of the Bills, I think Martin is a better prospect than Brown though it’s close and Martin visited the Bills and Brown didn’t. and Brents I do expect to go higher just couldn’t find a spot for him

Bills met with Brents, if that is an indicator for you.

You can’t convince them until he actually gets picked by the Bills and then they’ll look into it more and realize he’s a good player that’s par the course for fans Anger, Denial , Acceptance

Combine measurables would suggest Turner ahead of Martin.

Turner isn’t a Safety imo, Martin is which is for the preference more than the player.

The Bills don’t have a need at CB, they do have a need at Safety and Martin provides CB flex

Im wrong a lot but I used to be a DB coach so it’s a specialty area of mine and know what teams looks for in DBs

Starting to imagine our offense with Darnell Washington, Knox, and Kincaid.
