Really hard to do because Naturally you want to fill the holes on the team.
Also amazing who was available and how it would look, actually did fit some of our needs but completely ignored a few positions I was hoping to fill.
No trades, was offered a few that looked good.

I only went 5 rounds as I havent spent enough time on the depth of this draft. Very interesting exercise, difficult to pass on players I am really hoping to land but if you stick to BPA you do get a hell of a haul! [Reply]
With LT suddenly a GIANT hole, I was able to get this guy...
Really like this draft.

Traded down 1st and next yrs 2nd (assuming OBJ is gone)
16 Broderick Jones
63 Felix Anudike-Uzohmah (bring Lee's Summit kid back home)
95 Cedric Tillman
122 Marvin Mims
135 Mekhi Garner (traded down a slot on 2 picks, likely unrealistic, of course)
169 JiAyir Brown (likely replaces Sneed...can cover slot and get TOs)
180 Moro Ojomo
192 DJ Johnson (pass rush rotation, see ya Kaindoh)
197 Jakorian Bennett (flyer on 4.30-40 CB)
217 Kobie Turner (good value here, probably won't last this long)
219 Keaton Mitchell (strike gold twice on 7th rnd RBs?)
Stopped here...unspectacular draft at the top, but a great year to build depth [Reply]
Had a decent draft going here on TDN but I didn't realize they had a 2 minute timer (which you can pause, but I didn't know that either) and the simulator auto-drafted Zacch Pickens at 123, so I pulled the rip cord on that mock. I actually like Pickens but I'm not sure it would've been my pick at that spot.
17 Will Anderson Jr. EDGE | Alabama TRADE
32 Darnell Wright OT | Tennessee TRADE
63 Tuli Tuipulotu DL | USC
78 Jordan Battle S | Alabama TRADE
103 A.T. Perry WR | Wake Forest TRADE
159 Ronnie Bell WR | Michigan TRADE
I did a lot of trading. I feel like this was my best draft specially for potential first year help/starters. Don't know how realistic these trades were but here it is. [Reply]

64 Derick Hall EDGE | Auburn
96 Keeanu Benton DL
123 Byron Young (AL) DL | Alabama
135 Wanya Morris OT | Oklahoma [Reply]
#54 DE Tuipulotu - Frank Clark's replacement, flexible enough to kick him inside on 3rd down
#62 NT Benton - Nandi's replacement, run stopper demanding doubles to free up C Jones
#64 RT Bergeron - Wylie's replacement, solid complement to OBJ
#96 DE Carter II - Danna's replacement, pass-rush specialist
#123 OT Morris - New swing tackle, depth option
#135 WR Mingo - MVS replacement after next season
#168 OL Daniels - Versatile depth option, Thuney eventual replacement
#199 TE Wylie - Quality competition for 2nd or 3rd TE
#219 DL Diaby - Saunders replacement and depth option
#227 DB Thomas V - S option, fastest DB in the draft at 6 ft+
#251 RB Nichols III - Great all-around RB, lead the NCAA in 2022 1,800+ yards
#20 for our #31 & #63,
3rd & 4th to move up in the 3rd,
5th + 7th to move up in the 5th.
#20 DL Breese - 3 down DL to wreck havoc next to Jones
#82 DE Adebawore - Had a really great combine
#135 RB Tucker - Mckinnon Replacement
#159 WR Bryce-Wheaton - 6'3 and fast
#199 S Dean - S option with measurables
#219 OT Haggard - Competes with Niang and a FA for RT
#227 WR Jarrett - Depth option that fell in this draft [Reply]
