Hoping to make this less just posting mocks my man.  Appreciate the responses though 

Sorry just a couple of examples on different simulations where I’ve been able to get by trading down in the 2nd.. Continue..

How about the giant TE out of Georgia in the second? If we are going to have a smaller QB maybe we could give him a Godzilla sized target? If he keeps his weight down and is aggressive he could be an unstoppable force in the red zone. If he were to catch onto the pro game fast we could have both he and Hurst as viable receiving options which could cut down on the need for a WR. Just thoughts as I think it would be interesting to pair the largest TE in the league with the smallest QB. never know, it could work out!

I will say, the Falcons scenario in my mock is one I hope doesn't happen. This gives them Bijan, Downs, & K White.  They could put themselves in really nice position if someone wants to move up for Levis or AR (if they are available) at 8.  

Obvious candidates being HOU, TEN, & TB.

I would have no problem with that if I didn't project him to Dallas at 26 in Round 1.

I just get the feeling that Hooker is moving ahead of Levis.

 

Also I'm sure you did a lot of research on that DET trade back but it sure doesn't look like they gave up enough to move up 11 spots.  I would be miffed.

I will say, I see Hooker fitting with a lot more teams than Levis right now so it could very well happen.  

Overall, even if there is some hesitation with Levis, I see ~TB/19 to MIN/24 is his floor for dropping.  Hooker could end up as high as the teens (to the Texans?) so Hooker could possibly go before. That being said, there's A LOT of rumors this time of year. 

I will say, anyone who saw that Bama-TEN game & watched Hooker progress year by year from his sophomore season at VT to last year at TEN should know what he's capable of.  Age be damned, if he can play, he can play.  He has great downfield placement, got the legs, size, even if the arm isn't Levis-level, he's got game.

My biggest BS meter goes off w/ the idea multiple QBs go in a row at the top.  This is not a class that goes 1-3.   

Fits:

Young - Panthers=as good as done

Stroud - Colts, Raiders

Richardson - Seahawks, Raiders, Vikings (Just don't see the Texans or Titans swinging for him)

Hooker - Raiders, Texans, Rams, Tampa Bay

Levis - Titans, Tampa Bay

my 2 cents

Re: this comment 

I did check some stuff out and historic trades.  

It's s 9 spot move from 39 to 48. 

But where we gain is moving up 12 in the next round from 93 to 81 and them adding on a 5th to sweeten.

I think we could squeeze a 4th, but that'd give them a big gap mid-draft, so could be a 39+93 for 48+81 swap, and they add on a future/24' 3rd (highest I could see)

An added prospect fit that could happen per some reports/buzz:

Tucker Kraft & Sam LaPorta TE - Bengals, R2

They've hosted both and apparently are very high on them, potentially have their sights on them instead of Kincaid or Mayer at 28.  I don't think they need to force anything with their position in R1.  R1--I could see Gibbs (as mocked), DB, OL, or even DL if a rusher presents himself.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
