This is the best spot for Burden or Golden to the Packers IMO

Chargers War Room looks nervous lol. Like they are trying to trade out of the pick..

Will be rather interesting to see who the Chargers take here. Their most common mock picks are all off the board (Loveland, Warren, Kenneth Grant, other DTs). No idea who they will get now.

Tampa Bay selected a WR for some reason, after getting Evans and Godwin back. That means Egbuka will likely play in the slot for Tampa. They had Jaylen McMillan from Washington go off for them last year too. Weird that they didn't go defense, but they will have an absolutely stacked offense next year.

not really. They could easily all go in the top 10 picks of R2 as well. We haven't gotten to the playoff contenders at the end of R1 who can make luxury picks on WRs.

They are not the same. Tet is 6 foot 4 with silky smooth agility and soft hands with 3 consistent years of good production in college at WR, while Legette was 6 foot 1, heavier, faster, more raw prospect with only one year of college production. Just my opinion. McMillian is a was a much more established player coming out of college and Legette was a raw project the team was hoping to mold into a threat. Totally different circumstances and players. The only correlation is that they are both somewhat bigger WRs and neither having blazing down field speed.

Don't think so, mostly because our 2nd rounder is way too low down. If we still had our original 2nd round pick we gave to the Bears in the Bryce trade, I could totally see them trading into the bottom of R1 if Mike Green fell. Or Maybe Piece or Ezeraku, whichever one they were in love with I guess.

called it. Lol.

This has to be Walker or Green

There's going to be plenty of pass rushers to choose from in R2. I do expect them to trade up for one though in R2 if there's a run on pass rushers early in the round.

Kenneth Grant to the Dolphins is a very solid pick.

the Cowboys do have a history of drafting Oline in R1 in recent years, maybe not super off beat to draft him. I think it just defied all the mock drafts that had them picking Golden or Jeanty or Tet.

That is also super high for Tyler Booker. Cowboys get a Guard with pick 12.

That is HIGH for Mykel Williams!!! Wow!! to the 49ers... Maybe Jaylon Walker will drop quite a bit!

NFL + video keeps going down for me. Figures. Didn't expect the Bears to select Colston Loveland.

Didn't see that coming at all. Wow. I think I actually like this selection better than selecting a tweener pass rusher in Jaylon Walker. They picked the top WR in the draft when we have an underwhelming WR room. It's hard to blame them but it's going to make repairing the defense much harder I think.

Wouldn't be mad at that tbh. We really need to start hitting on those R2 - R4 picks though. No more gamble luxury picks like Jonathon Brooks in R2 or weird curveballs like DJ Johnson in R3. Just pick good players with good production without injury issues. I think the Panthers in recent years have had a big issue with gambling on projection vs just taking the dudes who already fuging produced well in college.

Im probably not going to like our pick, since I personally want Mike Green or Donavan Ezeraku. I fully expect it to be Jaylon Walker. Won't be mad at it, but it doesn't feel like a slam dunk by any means. Probably similar to how I felt drafting Brown or Horn, I wasn't super excited but they ended up being good at least. The only pick ive been horribly upset by in recent memory was the 2016 draft and Vernon Butler. I was mad as a mother fuger!! Felt similar selecting DJ Johnson and Jonathan Mingo, although Butler was worse. If im ever super upset at a pick its usually a bad sign lol

They're making this poo way too obvious. If its clear you're desperate for something to happen then no one's going to give you a good deal, you've already lost all your leverage. That and all the other teams know this draft doesn't have much top end talent and the players are pretty similar in skill level from pick 10 to pick 45. I think the only players that would bring some serious trade up consideration for the Panthers would be Mason Graham, Ashton Jeanty, or Sheddur Sanders fell to 8. I could see the Cowboys trading up for Jeanty or Steelers trading up for Sanders. Unlikely but at least logically possible. Steelers would have to give us their 2026 first and at least one pick this year imo. Which would sting this year but would be really nice to play around with two 1sts next year. You could bundle those and trade up for a dominant WR 1 or something in 2026.

Why do so many mock have Kenneth Grant dropping so far??

Basically my thoughts. Dont over think it and get the best pass rusher not named Abdul Carter. I doubt theyll do that though. 99% of the time the Panthers pick players i dont want. I think the only time in recent memory they picked a guy I particularly wanted was JaTavion Sanders, DJ Moore, and CMC. That's it in the last decade or so.

Did Antonio Brown look like Antonio Brown in college? He had to have been a 6th Rounder for a reason

That's a good point. Then look for us to trade up in R2 imo, especially if we go offense with pick 8

And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly, but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly . I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man. Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that. I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the late round selections lol Especially if Donovan Ezeraku or Mike Green falls to R2. OH BOY.
