If things move ahead of then Ill pick tonight if not I'll pick first thing in the morning UK time. Sorry it doesn't speed things along but this almost always happens haha. If we get one more pick before bed I'll message @Virgil my pick and my backup choice. Pffft....you need to show some more commitment geezer ie - like a Ray Parlour tackle on the edge of the 18 yard box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 With the 19th pick in the 2024 TSW Mock Draft 1.0, the Los Angeles Rams select: Jer'Zhan Newton, Defensive Tackle, Illinois. The Pittsburgh Steelers and @julian are now on the clock. I'd have taken Latu if he reached this spot and I'd have considered Fautanu too. But I think the guys who can start early at left tackle are gone and there are no other edge rushers worth the pick. So I round back to their need to replace Aaron Donald and it just happens to coincide with the value on the board. Newton is personally my highest graded defensive player and I like his fit in the Rams odd front defense. In his final two years with the Fighting Illini he registered 13 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss. He is a monster who lives in the backfield and terrorised Big Ten Offensive Lines. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 With the 20th pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Jackson Powers Johnson, IOL, Oregon With the ghosts of Webster, Dawson and Pouncey banging the draft table, the Steelers continue their legacy of great Centers and select the big kid out of Oregon with HOF potential. The Miami Dolphins and @Doc Brown are now on the clock 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 With the 21st pick, the Miami Dolphins select Byron Murphy, DT, Texas. The offensive line definitely needs to be addressed for this abhorrent franchise but it's hard passing on Byron Murphy in this spot. He should provide some much needed interior pass rush pop that was lost when Wilkins signed with the Raiders. The Philadelphia Eagles @HappyDays are on the clock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 With the 22nd pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson. Minnesota @Motorin' is on the clock. This is a case where BPA and need happen to match up perfectly. Darius Slay and James Bradberry are both on the wrong side of 30. Our secondary was the clear weakness on the team last year. Wiggins projects as a true #1 island CB at the next level. And with established veterans on the roster his development doesn't have to be rushed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 With the 23rd overall pick, the Minnesota Vikings select Darius Robinson, DT, Missouri. The Viking have a lot of holes to fill, and spend a lot of their FA on the defensive side of the ball. Robinson comes in and shores up the defensive line and allows them to add more weapons on offense in this deep draft. No receiver jumped out of value, so we have time.

JJGauna Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Cowboy Nation yeeeeehaaaa! With the 24th overall pick, the Dallas Cowboys select J.C. Latham, OT, Alabama! With plenty of holes to fill the biggest need might be replacing Tyron Smith. Latham has provided solid and consistent play starting the last two years for the Crimson Tide and excels at run blocking. He also grades out as a very good pass blocker. Good enough to earn All SEC first team honors. His versatility will guarantee him a starting spot if he can’t claim the left tackle job with experience at both tackle and guard. Latham should be their guy from day one. The Green Bay Packers @mrags are on the clock! Edited April 3 by JJGauna 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already made a poll and 70% of the voters were against moving up, so we will not trade them up in the draft. Now, with that being said, that was before the Diggs trade. I may consider an executive decision in 3.0, depending on how the board falls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Trading up for the Bills in this version of the draft is irrelevant...the big 4 of MHJ, Nabers, Odunze, and Thomas all went in first 12 picks and I can't imagine Beane really trading up into the top 12 to get a WR in such a rich WR draft. I think if Beane makes a relevant trade up it would be for one of those 4 guys and would not be any higher than the back half of the teens based on cost. Especially given the cap hits post Diggs trade this year and next, we can't afford to pay a ransom in draft capital to get one guy, we may need those picks to help fill spots due to other cap moves we may need to make to balance the Diggs dead cap space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Mims and Guyton to Latham as guys with longer term LT potential but likely you want both to start both on the right side. 9 minutes ago, JJGauna said: Probably right but some of the “experts” think he can move over to the left side.

Dallas need two tackles and a right guard so I see the sense in the pick. I think Tyler Smith from LG to LT is the move there. Let Latham play right or start at guard. Latham was always earmarked for LT at Bama and it never happened. Which suggests to me Saban didn't think it was the best place for him. I tend to agree. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sorry. Was out running errands. Didn’t think for a second that I’d be up so quickly. I was hoping to watch a few more vids today as well to have a better idea who I wanted. so I’ll say this. I haven’t done a ton of research on OL because I thought the Bills were set. But I’m under the impression that the packers need some help there. I really wanted to choose differently but after the videos I’ve seen I changed my mind. With the 25th pick, the Green Bay Packers select OT, Amarius Mims Georgia. The Tampa Bay Bucs and @H2o are on the clock. 12 minutes ago, Virgil said: @mragsOne hour left boss. We've really slowed down today. I was hoping to post the Poll for the Bills pick by this evening.
