Hopefully I will get pretty close to the actual results here.

 

1. Buccaneers - Jameis Winston, QB, FST: Obvious pick, top five player in the draft and a franchise qb.

 

2. Titans - Marcus Mariota, QB, ORE: Another obvious pick, might go to a different team, but he will not move from the #2 slot.

 

3. Jaguars - Dante Fowler, DE, FLO: Fits perfectly into the defense as a DE and provides great pass rush.

 

4. Raiders - Kevin White, WR, WV: Athletic freak that gives Carr his weapon for the next decade.

 

5. Redskins - Randy Gregory, OLB, NEB: Best pass rusher on the board helps Redskins improve that atrocious D.

 

6. Jets - Vic Beasley, OLB, CLEM: Showed up big at the combine and is rewarded by becoming the centerpiece of an ultra talented defense.

 

7. Bears - Leonard Williams, DT, USC: Bears get him gift wrapped, fills a hole and is the best player left.

 

8. Falcons - Shane Ray, OLB, MISS: Falcons are thankful the Raiders skipped on a pass rusher and land an elite talent here.

 

9. Giants - Amari Cooper, WR, ALA: Giants take the BPA, and the belief around the league is that Cooper fills that role.

 

10. Rams - Brandon Scherff, G, IOW: Kicking Robinson out to tackle and this allows them to have a day one starter at guard. Blue chip prospect.

 

11. Vikings - Trae Waynes, CB, MST: Elite corner to pair with Rhodes and allows them to push Captain to a suited nickel role.

 

12. Browns - Danny Shelton, DT, WAS: Big guy on the d-line to help beef up an already strong D.

 

13. Saints - Bud Dupree, OLB, KEN: Might be the most talented pass rusher in the class, will ease him into the game ala Aldon smith.

 

14. Dolphins - Todd Gurley, RB, GEO: Ryan Tannehill would love a running back to take the pressure off of him, why not give him the best player on the board?

 

15. 49ers - DeVante Parker, WR, LOU: Best player on the board, gives Kap a young weapon, and fills a need.

 

16. Texans - Arik Armstead, DE, ORE: Pair him with Watt and Clowney, and suddenly Andrew Luck is shaking.

 

17. Chargers - Cameron Erving, G, FST: Protect Philip Rivers with the best interior lineman available, very underrated prospect.

 

18. Chiefs - Ereck Flowers, T, MIA: He falls a bit to 18 and the Chiefs run to the podium.

 

19. Browns - La'el Collins, T, LSU: Fills a need a right tackle and gives the Browns a solid line on both sides of the ball.

 

20. Eagles - Marcus Peters, CB, WAS: Hugely talented cover corner that fits the defensive scheme they are trying to go with.

 

21. Bengals - Malcom Brown, DT, TEX: Bengals need an inside presence and Brown gives them that as the best player on the board. 

 

22. Steelers - Landon Collins, S, ALA: Collins falls a bit and the Steelers are happy to take Troy's replacement and potential stud here.

 

23. Lions - Tevin Coleman, RB, IND: Lions need to pair someone with Bell, and keep pressure off Stafford, they take the best running back available and cruise to a top 10 offense.

 

24. Cardinals - Jalen Collins, CB, LSU: Replace Cromartie with a great corner prospect, fits right in with Peterson.

 

25. Panthers - Jaelen Strong, WR, ARST: Land a very solid #2 to pair with Benjamin and give Cam the help he so rightfully deserves.

 

26. Ravens - Eddie Goldman, DT, FST: They lost Ngata and fill his role with Goldman, not on the same level, but certainly fills a need.

 

27. Cowboys - Jordan Philips, DT, OKL: They don't have much going on with the interior line, and Philips gives them a day one starter.

 

28. Broncos - Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA: Needs to improve the middle of that 3-4 defense, fills a need and can start day one.

 

29. Colts - Melvin Gordon, RB, WIS: They were desperate enough to nab Trent Richardson, so why not nab the best runner available and a great value pick here, pair him with Frank Gore and let the good times role.

 

30. Packers - Benardrick McKinney, ILB, MST: Day one starter in the defense, very athletic for an ILB.

 

31. Saints - Maxx Williams, TE, MINN: Trade Jimmy Graham for Maxx Williams and about 100m in cap room. Dangerous threat and the best TE in the draft.

 

32. Patriots - Philip Dorsett, WR, MIA: Patriots need a guy who takes the top off the defense and this guy certainly does that very well.

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      By csx · Posted

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
