I really like this mock draft by Dean Jones...

I would take everyone. May switch the Safety before the WR in the back rounds, but supper solid. A QB and 2 strong interior OL guys would be a win IMO. If a QB can't step up and throw it doesn't matter who's at tackle.

This would be about the worst case scenario for Willis. He has the talent but if he gets drafted by us his odds of busting go through the roof.

Trading down from 6 is my favorite thing this year. Love the mock that would be a great draft.

Eh, I like the Christian Watson pick. The rest was meh.

But I don't see him starting next year. Darnold with a hopefully better line is a step in the right direction. Another draft and maybe, just maybe we are ready to take a major step towards competing for the playoffs.

I like the mock, but I'd slot a TE instead of Strange.  3 rookie OL seems like overkill.  We'll probably sign someone in free agency and have Christensen - FA - Elflein - Brown - Moton on board with Erving as a swing tackle.  We need a couple other guys for sure, but 3 seems like too much.

We need a TE bad.  There seem to be quite a few slotted in that round 4/5 area that would do the trick.

If you’re picking at six, your team sucks. You definitely don’t trade down and not address the OL with the first pick.

I would not pass up the opportunity to draft an elite LT in order to get Willis and a possible starter at G. 
 

I don’t hate the Willis pick…I just don’t see him as a starter in 2022. If he’s not a starter in 2022 then you’re better off building the OL with an elite LT, sucking again, and drafting Stroud or Young.

Love this if Willis is any good. Also not sure about drafting WR

Normally you wouldn’t but when you don’t pick again till almost round 5 you do it

Looking across the league every team is starving for OL.  In particular  OTs that can pass block.  Hard to find a great one.  Cross can do that.  He is going very early IMO.

I stopped reading as soon as traded back and took Willis.
