rackcs Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Started this on Friday and just barely was unable to finish it so almost all of this was done before Week 1 of college football. So this is based on my preseason board and doesn't reflect anything that happened Week 1. By the time I do my next mock we'll definitely have more of a sense if some of those week 1 performances were meaningful or just flashes in the pan. The draft order is based on my season predictions I completed last week. All in all this was a fun way to get myself primed for both NFL and college football this upcoming season and I'm excited for another fun draft. I plan on doing monthly mocks again this year throughout the season. As always please share whatever comments or questions you have, I love getting feedback on team needs in particular. Round 1 Team Pick Los Angeles Rams Caleb Williams, QB, USC Arizona Cardinals Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State Tampa Bay Buccaneers Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina Arizona Cardinals (Houston) Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State Chicago Bears (Carolina) Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State Washington Commanders Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame Denver Broncos Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama New England Patriots Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia Atlanta Falcons Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State Indianapolis Colts Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama Chicago Bears Jer'Zahn Newton, INT, Illinois Minnesota Vikings Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson Las Vegas Raiders Kalen King, CB, Penn State New York Giants Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State Houston Texans (Cleveland) Maason Smith, INT, LSU Miami Dolphins Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia Tennessee Titans JC Latham, OT, Alabama Pittsburgh Steelers Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson San Francisco 49ers J.T.

FalconFan13 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Don't have anything against chop or a Edge rusher pick. But if the Falcons finish in the top 9 picks again then im quite sure Ridder wasn't the one at QB lol. The team is to talented now after all those FA pickups and drafted talent to pick in the same spot as last year. Unless our QB just straight flops like Mariotta did last year. One of those 4 or 5 QB's would be a good option as well to go next to AJ Terrell if Okudah doesn't become something good this year. Koolaid is a nice prospect for sure and am i just much higher on the QB's in this class than others or did they fall off a cliff. I thought their were supposed to be like 4 or 5 1st round dudes in the top 15 to 20 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shylo3716 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) I’m not against the Keon Coleman pick at all, because his size alone, would check a box as far as added value within the core. ** Conditional pick; becomes a 1st if Aaron Rodgers plays 65% of plays.

I think there's a lot of potential in this QB class but I think a lot of it is projection at this point for some of the guys. I think if I did this after week 1, I might have Shedeur Sanders find his way into the first round but for now I just don't see any of the other guys at this point as being top 10 type of guys. I think by the time we get around to my October mock we'll have a clearer understanding of which QBs are stepping up this season and which ones might not be. I did consider Kool-Aid at that spot but felt like a young, primary EDGE rusher would be more important than a CB2. You just have at least something long term at CB in Terrell whereas the EDGE position feels more like a patch job for now. 4 hours ago, Shylo3716 said: I’m not against the Keon Coleman pick at all, because his size alone, would check a box as far as added value within the core. ** Conditional pick; becomes a 1st if Aaron Rodgers plays 65% of plays. The Eagles pick is tough because obviously they're a very talented team. I was looking a bit to the future with this one. As Hurts has now been paid, it might be tough to keep Brown and Smith long-term at WR. And in the meantime, getting a legitimate 3rd WR would also be helpful. I forgot about the Rodgers trade and agree that the pick likely goes to the Packers. It wasn't reflected in the draft order I was looking at due to it being conditional. I will change the pick to the Packers but will keep Paul there to make things easier on me. The Packers take him as Bakhtiari's successor/injury backup plan since he's a bit rawer of a player than some of the other OT prospects.

MikeT14 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 The pick for Washington makes a lot of sense even if I truly don't believe we will be picking that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinderFournette Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Cb could be a need if we cut Williams. I think wr might be a bigger question. Ridley is a fa to be. Zay Jones could be a cut opening up a need in our top 3 wrs. We also could be looking for a pass rusher cuz Allen is a free agent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Commanders are a high variance team this year. They've got a lot of solid pieces but I have some concerns at a few spots and I also worry about the potential lame duck situation with Ron Rivera. I could definitely see them finishing better. 1 hour ago, LinderFournette said: Cb could be a need if we cut Williams. I think wr might be a bigger question. Ridley is a fa to be.

A lot of different directions the Jags could go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda agree, but that variance only goes so low. I really think our absolute floor is 6 wins. Ceiling probably 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to over react over a single week but I might move Guard up on the needs list based on scherffs age(31) and our other starter being a FA to be(undecided on wether to resign or not). Could consider OT as well cuz cam Robinson is a potential Cap Cut and little looked a little shaky today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Who is the Vikings QB going to be in this draft? That's my big question. Could they move up to get Drake Maye, I'm guessing not, but then I think that Penix, McCarthy, Leonard, or Ewers would be in play for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I don't think the Saints are going to go QB in the 1st unless they feel like it's a top 10 talent since they drafted Haener in the 4th that they traded up for and were high on, he seemed like a good project too. If they do go for a QB, I think they might prefer the Duke QB or maybe even Ewers/Penix in the 2nd round. I think they would be looking more for a safety to eventually replace Mathieu or to replace Maye even sooner if a high end one showed up.
