Orlando Tim Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I have seen several mention two receivers I saw a lot of this year and I believe one will be over drafted and the other under. Johnny Wilson of FSU will be over drafted based on his height and perceived ceiling l, but he is not the hardest worker so likely tops out as a 3rd receiver. Javon Baker of UCF is going to be a 4th or lower and will be a #2 by end of second season. Baker is not quick/fast enough to be a top end #1 but he fights for balls and when on the same page as QB is willing to be the dog you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Noggin Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 15 hours ago, mrags said: Lots of trading involved. Gave up my 3rd and 4th next year pretty early. Then decided I wanted some of those picks back. So when trades were offered to me I opted for next years picks instead. Although still came away with a ton for this year. I’m pretty sure we’ll find at least 1 good WR out of the 2 big ones I drafted. At least 1 of the 3 DTs should work out well with at least bodies for the others. I really like Hicks as starting S but I also see Williams as a S as well. I know he’s listed as a LB but he played S in college. Personally I just don’t see how 220 is thick enough to play LB in this league on a consistent basis. But he would get a shot at either. At worst he would be better than expecting AJ Klein to come off his couch and cover the best TE in the history of the league. Picked up a few depth DEs, along with Milton for his skill set for Joshs future backup for years. And I can’t complete a draft without trying to get Jordan, his highlights are incredible to me. I know a little speed back isn’t what we need, but I can’t help but think he could be extremely useful. 52. Troy Franklin WR Oregon 64. McKinnley Jackson DT Texas A&M 68.

Some of my best work Franklin at 52 PLUS Legette at 68 with Jackson between them feels like...unrealistic value. I think Franklin goes 35-40 at absolute latest. He might very well go 1st round over Coleman tbh. There are big, jump-ball guys with limited route trees and less-than elite agility (like Q. Johnson w/ Chargers, Harry w/ Patriots, Claypool w/ Steelers, etc) who haven't translated well recently, and by comparison there are smaller and faster guys who get separation who HAVE shown immediate promise (like Flowers, Atwell, Dell). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 5 hours ago, Richard Noggin said: The medical history + projected draft value mirrors Jaelen Phillips' college history innit? Yeah, similar in value and and that they both briefly retired from football due to injury. Other than his last season at Miami, Phillips was always hurt in college. Latu had one major injury but was relatively healthy the rest of the time. i can definitely understand why others wouldn’t be happy with his selection. He just looks like a premier edge rusher to me…. If he can remain healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 After doing too many I am happiest with the outcomes of taking a Wr at 28 or a highly rated dlineman falling. I would consider Newton, Robinson or the kid from UCLA if Thomas is gone. I think DT can be had day 2. Wr is deep but I think the talent available at 28 will be a greater impact day 1. Thomas, Worthy, Franklin add a dimension to the offense Allen has never had before. I prefer that outcome best. Hoping the next tier is still there in Rd 2 is a risk I dont like unless the guy in rd 1 upgrades the line. I think rd 1 is too early for S. Dejean or Kichenn maybe great players but I would lean into McDermott's ability to find dbs that fit his defense in the middle rounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant help yourself trying to make that guy work. These big guys the combine will help separate some. I think Brian Thomas Jr becomes a top 10 pick after.

BBFL Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Personally, this might be favorite mock I’ve had.

Richard Noggin Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The Troy Franklin loophole persists on PFN's simulator, so trading back is able to net a guy who could/should be selected on Day One, plus two beasts at DT, a cool S prospect and important depth elsewhere. That 2nd WR could be a dude, too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Noggin Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Staying put works out GREAT in this one. Question, though, for ye fellow WR train conductors: when Byron Murphy falls to 28 and Brian Thomas Jr is gone already, do you just take Murphy because BPA at a position of need, or do you slide down to the next WRs on your board, whether that's Mitchell or Franklin or whomever? This comes up a lot in 2024 mocks and probably mirrors a pivotal real-world debate for the actual franchise: D-line vs WR at end of 1st round? Obviously depends who slides, but can't you just see some juicy DT/DE just sitting there at 28 while WRs Thomas and Franklin are already off the board? (Here in my mock I figured Thomas has too much #1 potential to pass on for a position (DT) that seems to have real value on Day Two.)

Warriorspikes51 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) IMO Beane should strongly consider trading our 1st next year + pick 60 + whatever to acquire another 1st this year so we can end the first night of the draft with a pair of top flight dynamic WR’s for the next 5 years if not that, at least move up in Round 2 to snag another But, the benefit of them both being 1st rounders is the extra year of control Edited February 27 by Warriorspikes51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you could just keep Diggs and pair him with a single young talent + Shakir + Kincaid/Knox (with Shorter and Shavers again competing for the 3rd barrier target). The obviousness of the proposed AGGRESSIVE WR grab would rely on Diggs' character to avoid disruption. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we're giving up a 3rd, then we really need to be even more judicious with our spending and make sure we're covering an extra, important hole in FA. I believe with the general devaluing of the position in Drafts, you could find a potential Starter at Safety in Round 3. Or a potential future Starter or at least 3rd DT (which gets a LOT of reps with how often they rotate). And I expected Round 3 to cover one of those. And I'm not sure that would be enough for 21. Even in the more modern Rich Hill model (which is less expensive than the old Jimmy Johnson model and more in line with modern trades) - 28, 99, and 192 isn't even enough for 22: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp Personally, I'm hoping if he's Beane's guy, that he's still there at 24. We can move 28, 129, and 162 for 24 - giving up our 4th and our second 5th and retaining our 3rd.

IF they have more than Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, Eli Ankou and Kingsley Jonathan under contract at DL before the draft, OK trade away 99 if they must, but I think more likely they trade back from 28 and trade up in maybe 4th or 5th round. They need young, cheap, players who can play some snaps early. It’s the cap that is driving that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense... but I also like a lot of DLine in this draft even in later rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 13 hours ago, Richard Noggin said: Staying put works out GREAT in this one. Question, though, for ye fellow WR train conductors: when Byron Murphy falls to 28 and Brian Thomas Jr is gone already, do you just take Murphy because BPA at a position of need, or do you slide down to the next WRs on your board, whether that's Mitchell or Franklin or whomever? This comes up a lot in 2024 mocks and probably mirrors a pivotal real-world debate for the actual franchise: D-line vs WR at end of 1st round? Obviously depends who slides, but can't you just see some juicy DT/DE just sitting there at 28 while WRs Thomas and Franklin are already off the board? (Here in my mock I figured Thomas has too much #1 potential to pass on for a position (DT) that seems to have real value on Day Two.) Any draft coming away with Franklin/Thomas AND sweat is A++ for me. Honestly I would willingly just take JAGs at all other pics of we came away with those 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
