So this isn't a bad mock in terms of trades and what the mock has teams going after.  Raiders trade up with us take pick 7 and draft their Derek Carr replacement in Justin Herbert.  Panthers receive picks 12, 18, and 80th pick.  With the 12th pick Panthers luck up and their dream comes true with snagging a top 5 player at pick 12 in DT Derrick Brown.  A few picks later Panthers pick their Kuechly replacement with the best inside linebacker in the draft in MLB Kenneth Murray out of Oklahoma.   I love this mock immediately fills out 2 biggest holes on the defensive side of the ball.

I would be happy if this happened draft night.  But we all know its up in the air until draft night.

Not a chance that Derrick Brown falls out of the top 10. He's that good. Like Murray though. Wouldn't be mad at the pick, I just don't think we need a MLB this season. We'll roll with what we've got and draft a depth guy in rounds 4-7 maybe, or sign a FA.

I think we stay where we are, guarantee ourselves Brown, and then go safety in round 2 unless a good guard drops to us at that spot. If not, we pick up a guard in the 3rd.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Brown falls, through no fault of his own.

Picks 1/2 are basically locks.  Chargers, Dolphins, Raiders (in this hypothetical) could all be fighting over QBs.  Then there is still Simmons (LB), Okudah (CB), Jeudy (WR), multiple OTs.

I am by no way saying it will happen.  But I wouldn't be surprised.

I think that Brown is way overhyped. He’s good but he’s no Suh or McCoy kind of elite prospect.

I don't know man. Ignore the title of the video and just watch. Guy has a knack for getting a hand on the ball and getting off blocks. And if he doesn't slip you, he'll blow you straight back. And he's great against the run inside. He'll have a shocking 40 at the combine as well. He's special.

There is a lot of player evaluation left but one of those top LTs and a trade back sounds mighty fine. Pick up a C with the extra pick and it would be fantastic. It's just hard to get excited about the front 7 on D when the new staff hasn't had enough time to evaluate let alone plan

They just gave that massive deal to Shaq for him to play ILB/MLB. So I doubt they'd draft a ILB unless they staying in 3-4.

I like the kid but I don’t think that he’s a top 7 prospect. To me, Brown is just a faster Dexter Lawrence.

Wow this is a bad take 

Derrick Brown to me is a faster Dexter Lawrence. I don’t hate the kid. I just don’t think he’s a top 7 talent. His stock his up so high due to the little talents available at his position in this draft.

Personally, I would definitely entertain the idea of trading back ONLY IF we miss out on Isaiah Simmons. And this is if the Raiders even want to trade up, but if not, my top priority would be definitely trading back if the Raiders are offering their top two first rounders. I really don't think Brown will be available at 12 if he's one of the top DL's in the draft, but possibly choosing A.J. Epenesa at 12 and Javon Kinlaw at 18 would be my preference. I'd keep my original second round pick to select a cornerback or safety, but adding that additional third round pick just cements the trade. You could afford to take a chance on a WR, S, or CB if you haven't chosen one or you can gain some decent depth on either side of the line with that pick. I'd like to see them go defense heavy in this draft, besides taking a chance on a WR and/or OL. Would be cool to see Epenesa, Kinlaw, KK, and Addison on the front with Burns, Miller/Kunaszyk, and Shaq all lining up behind them. Throw in that the team has about $39 million to work with in free agency and you could probably re-sign Boston and maybe Bradberry.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
