Mocking Day 2 picks 32-39 with no trades

[MHS831]

32. Pittsburgh:  Joey Porter, CB  Penn State:  Fills a need and makes too much sense.
33. Arizona:  Keion White, DE, Georgia Tech:  White fills the biggest need at any position in the NFL with a 4-3 DE pass rusher
34. Detroit: Michael Mayer, TE Notre Dame:  TE is a need, and Mayer is too good to pass up.
35. Indianapolis:  Brian Branch, CB/S Alabama:  Colts have need at both CB and S--Branch is both.  Could go OG here.
36. Los Angeles Rams:  Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee: Stafford needs a WR and they are not deep in this draft  Mingo a possibility here as well.
37. Seattle: BJ Ojulari, OLB/Edge, LSU:  Seattle switched to a 3-4 base last year, and need an edge.  
38. Las Vegas: Will Levis, QB, Kentucky: They could go CB or G here, but Levis is a tremendous value and a long term need.  Raiders love players with a chip on their shoulders.
39. Carolina:  Trade back.  You have the top 2 Guards on the board (Torrence and Aliva), OLB/Edges Hall and Sanders, TE Washington, CBs Brents, Ringo, and Turner, and an OT I really like, Bergeron from Syracuse.  UNC WR Downs is sitting right there--waiting to drive down 85 to play for the Black and Blue.   That is 10 players, so I would move back to 48-50 if I could, then move up to about 60 to get a second day-2 player.  But that is just me--I live on the edge.

have a feeling the Rams are going to shock everyone and take Levis to sit behind Stafford until he's ready.

[Bear Hands]

If one of Levis or Hooker is available at 39, let's figure out who wants him and make something happen.  Could get maybe a bit more value than usual if said team is trading up for a QB

Entirely plausible, not too shocking but agree.

Mock Draft with No Trades.  Proceeds to throw out trade scenarios for us.

Rams know Cohen his OC in 21 well, and it sounds like they are concerned about his long term health, it makes a lot of sense.

[FuFuLamePoo]

Trading back would be ideal but I'm sure every team is thinking that right now.

That'd be interesting.

[rayzor]

trading back might just make the most sense. there's going to be a whole lot of solid talent available the rest of the day and anyone we get at 39 won't be much better than who we are capable of getting later on. just not enough separation between the talent. there's just a lot of good players out there to be had, imo.

Hooker might be the pick there.

[Smithers]

I’m gonna cry if both White and Ojulari are gone by our pick

Might work if you do multiple trades. One problem is the Bucs and Saints probably have the best pick positions to swap with but the reality of that happening is slim. Seahawks you could get maybe 52 and 83 for 39

After all the trade backs in 2021 we got a ton of nickels that honestly didn’t make our team any better. I’d rather just draft the guy at 39 who we think is the best player rather than get two guys later in the 2nd/3rd that are both less talented than the guy at 39. You have more chances to hit but more of a chance of getting a bunch of easily replaceable guys who don’t help you win. At some point we need more above average starters so we have a more talented team.

I hope when the pick rolls around to 39 the war room is jumping up and down because somebody, and I don’t care who or what position, is still on the board that they REALLY want. If they aren’t enthused by anyone, or is it “convicted”, then they entertain a trade back. Problem is who do they partner with in that case. Otherwise whoever they like best out of Torrence, Hall or Brents. Or I guess they could Minnesota it and just wait to turn the pick in.
