My one and only mock draft

[Verge]

I didn't want to make a bunch of guesses this year so I reserved my one mock draft towards the end of draft season. Here it is.

I’m not sold on Mykell but if he is the pick I wonder if we could get Dallas or Indy to trade up with us 

[L-TownCat]

Feels like reaching for a need rather than BPA, but I’ll root for him if we take him.

[Camp Fodder]

The pattern of reaching in the first continues

[Martin]

Our run defense would definitely take another step with Mykel, but I’m not sure he’ll do much in the way of rushing the passer. But it is him, hopefully it’s both.

[Shocker]

Very interesting mock draft appreciate you sharing it!  I like Williams a lot…would be a very good pick.

[Khyber53]

If he's our choice, we have to rely on Evero to be able to develop a game plan to maximize his potential AND develop his skills.

Right now, I just don't see that in Evero. I hope I'm wrong.

Didn't we sign a few DL already? BPA would be TMac or Warren.

[ChuckWag78]

I am firmly, 100%, on the Mykel bandwagon. 

Lock down the run game. Develop the pass rush moves, which are not as bad as people say here.

He doesn't need 15+ sacks out of the gate to be successful. 7-10 with strong run game impact would be a great year one in my opinion.

At 8, you don’t pick to “take another step”. You pick to set a fuging stone. 
 

Take Warren. You can pick up the former Coastal NT who began his career there as a Tight End in the second round. He will do just as much to help the run defense as either of the Georgia guys. 
 

Take Restrepo in the 3rd if he’s there, if he’s not, take Skattebo. Then you’ll have Tush Push with Cam and Warren to go with your new NT who was once a TE.

Williams seems like a target if we were to trade back. I think everyone would riot at this point if he was the selection at 8. Im not even sure I have him inside my top 20 players in this draft.

For everyone saying Warren, I don't think he will even end up being TE1 in this draft. Loveland is more talented of the two. 

[pantherclaw]

He will be a stud in this defense.

I can see Williams, especially if they are thinking 4-3 in the future

Im good with either Georgia player. But prefer Walker if i had to pick.
