Kincaid seems to be everyone's fall back player if we don't land Mayer and I don't disagree with sentiment at all.  WRs and a bookend to Burns seems to be pretty trendy too.  I like it.

Mayer falling to the 2nd round would be like finding the winning powerball ticket someone dropped on the sidewalk.  I've seen mocks with him cracking the top 10.  He's really reaching Greg Olsen territory who I think the Bears selected at #8.

This would be the dang lottery, love this except for the Michael Penix Jr. pick. We already have a project QB in Corral, so not sure there is value taking a second QB this draft.

I thought Penix was worth the pick even if we keep 3 QBs.  But agree this is a pipe dream.  What this does show is how much better you can get picking this high in each round.  We need to lose out badly

I wouldn’t hate this for our first 2 rounds. Stroud, plus one of his top WRs, plus the MLB from Alabama.

Why?  An explanation would be nice.  Conversely, what do you have? 

[mickeye76]

two scenarios

picking 2nd overall Bryce Young or CJ Stround

2nd round. 34. Jahmyr Gibbs or a defensive end ( still doing research on the position) 

54. Jordan Battle or Zay Flowers. A partner in crime for Chinn or a speedy finesse wr to supplement TMJ and Moore. 

83.  Mazi Smith or linebacker (again doing some homework on this position as well) 

SECOND scenerio picking third instead.  

1st. Will Anderson Jr

2A. Hooker or McCall. another developmental QB to compete with a healthy FINGERS Crossed Corral. 

2B. Zay again or a RB.  either another bruiser like Foreman or a scat like back. 

3rd.  Mazi again or just defense in general LB,CB, or Safety.

made a trade at the beginning and picked up a few more. Just did 5 rounds. used PFN draft simulator. Not sure how i feel about it but was curious what it could look like if we held off on QB and took a couple shots at it. flame away.

If I had to right now, really had to and show my cards on who I like...

I'm guessing we end up around Pick 6-7.  I'll take a more targeted approach rather than a straight up guess for each current pick:

R1 - Jordan Addison/Quinten Johnson WR - Give me one of these bonafide studs.  I want top talent, best possible offensive playmaker upgrades.  Period.  Possibly the TE, but Addison is going to be special.  Think a blend of Stefon Diggs and Devonta Smith.  

Late R1 (Trade up) - Tanner McKee QB Stanford - Give this guy an OL and those type of WRs, I'm 100% interested.  He actually has all the tools, is smart, young (22), NFL arm, has the size (6'6), enough agility in the pocket, and word is more than a few GMs and scouting teams are actually high on him, not an online boosted stock situation. Get him end of first with that option.  See how he stacks up.  Pro ready, pro style offense, pro style QB. 

R2-3 - Henry To'oTo'o LB Bama - Shiny new linebacker after we inevitably let Shaq go.

R3-4 - Luke Schoonmaker TE  - Need to take another gander at a TE.  Thomas and Tremble have made progress but we need a. clear upgrade.  Massive potential with this guy.

R3-4ish - Cameron Ward QB - Go high upside on a double dip.  He's like 20/21, treat it developmentally and see how he fairs vs. Corral.  Sign a vet FA for insurance, I doubt we'd want to roll with 2 rooks and a 2nd year who's basically a rookie.

R3-6 - Chase Brown RB - Plays through contact and has got the burners. Crazy good acceleration.  Think Saquan meets Ekeler (style/type wise, not saying he's a star RB, but has the potential)

No sir, no flaming here.  That is my M.O. this draft.  I honestly feel we are out of the Stroud/Young sweepstakes and felt that way as soon as Rhule was fired.  I have been moving back to accumulate more picks. Why?  Almost no cap room for significant FAs.   We have 7 picks and need at least 10.

Overall, not bad.  Not too sure about a DT with out first pick, but like the Penix selection, TEs, and LBs. 

Pretty good first stab at it.

[Martin]

I’ve been thinking of a potential 3-4 with Brown on one side and Burns and Luvu as the outside LBs. This draft would set that up extremely nicely. Still managed to get a high potential QB and a TE that reminds me a bit about Mark Andrew’s.

Draftek.com Mock #10 dated 30 NOV 22.  Sign me up for that draft if it falls like that all day.
