Draft Day No Trades Mock (Relocated)

[Dr A W Niloc]

      This is my best guess at the proceedings.  Might expand to three rounds if I'm doing well.  "Sch" refers to how much better ("+") or worse ("-") their college opponents were than their own team.

The Falcons don't like Will Levis. They don't want Will Levis. But you've shown you don't actually care about being right with your picks. Just thinking that you're right. The Falcons will stick with Ridder for 2023.

Love me some Gonzalez, good pick.. Although would love Richardson even more.

Fontenot was on NFL Network looking into a QB days ago.  Why he left it so late is baffling.

FWIW, I don't want Atlanta taking Levis either.

IDK what clip you think you saw, but that's not what was happening. Are you talking about his press conference from 2 days ago? And they were never in on QBs. They were never in on Lamar. They were never in on this year's QBs. I told you this back in MARCH. And you chose not to listen then either.

[The Gnat]

Honestly a horrible Vikings pick. It's a S, we drafted one last year, we have three S's on the roster who maybe can start, and from that pool we'll find two for sure. And I don't see the talent level being worth there either. JSN would be the pick sprinted up.

[scar988]

If you're referring to this quote from his press conference:

Quote

"We are not going to close any doors," he said. "We won't close any doors. We are not closing the door on any position."

 

That was in response to a question about QB. But that doesn't mean that they like any of these QBs. It also wasn't a question about a first round QB but someone later in the draft.

     At the very least, we can agree that, "in response to a question about QB" Fontenot responded not with "We're sticking with Desmond Ridder" but with a pointed "We are not closing the door on any position."

They were asking about later round picks. Not early QB picks. Again, please just stop. You don't know everything about every team.

In this situation, the Falcons are likely going Bijan Robinson, Devon Witherspoon or Nolan Smith. There's no interest in QBs like Richardson or Levis.

[TankWilliams]

Wouldn't be a fan for Chicago, I'd definitely lean towards Paris Johnson or Broderick Jones there.  Corner is a position that could use some improvement, but really isn't a pressing need, so if they are going for a BPA talent pick, I'd actually probably even rather going for Bijan than a CB.

[SteelKing728]

Why would Minny take a Safety?

[smetana34]

I really hope GB doesn't waste the 13th pick like that

[Trentwannabe]

JSN falling all the way to 31? Zero chance. 

Bills won't be going CB again in round 1. Especially with JSN and Addison on the board.

[FalconFan13]

Probably least likely pick the Falcons could make and probably the worst fit of the top 4 QB's for our scheme as well.   Young, Stroud, and Richardson all fit Arthur Smiths scheme way way better.  Levis is almost the opposite of what type of QB he goes for in his scheme actually.

Now with that said i have like 1% belief we take a QB in the 1st round at all so im not to worried about in the real draft.  I'll also say if Fontenot does make a pick of Levis im calling for his head the very next second after that.  Because i'll fully believe he don't know wtf he is doing at that point forward for the falcons.   Thats how much i dislike Levis as a Qb prospect and how little i believe he fits Smiths offense at all.     I can understand Richardson even though i will hate the pick because at his bets he is a elite fit for the scheme but will need a ton of work.   Levis is just a god awful pick and fit for us.

Also after looking at the rest of the draft i'll give you credit for being unique but it's got some seriously random picks and players way different than anyone expects to happen  Murphy top 5 and Foskey top 15 is out there Ika in the 1st round is a hard one to believe as well.    I appreciate the wildness of it and am intrigued to see how close you are to quite a few of these in the real draft
