From NFL Mock Draft Database Sim 2/2/23

My Selections
18 Quentin Johnston WR | TCU
72 Darnell Wright OT | Tennessee
118 Keeanu Benton DL | Wisconsin
149 Cameron Latu TE | Alabama
167 Dylan Horton EDGE | TCU
183 Tyjae Spears RB | Tulane
186 Max Melton CB | Rutgers
215 Jonathan Mingo WR | Mississippi
219 YaYa Diaby EDGE | Louisville
227 Aidan O'Connell QB | Purdue
235 Mikel Jones LB | Syracuse
258 Brandon Hill S | Pittsburgh

When Johnston fell I had to go get him. Then made a power play for Darnell Wright at the top of 3. A lot of unrealistic stuff here IMO BUT... I like a few players in this we haven't discussed much, especially Tyjae Spears, Max Melton, Mikel Jones, and Brandon Hill.

Trades:

Those trades are LOL.

I assume your tackles for 2023 in this scenario are Brown/Wright?
[Reply]

Definitely some lol on the trades. I just threw crap at the wall until they accepted hahaha.

And yes, Brown/Wright.

I am kind of starting to feel the re-sign Brown, go get a playmaker in 1 and then grab RT in 2. Figure out alot of the defense in FA and mid-rounds. It's not like Veach can't at least maintain the D from this year. Add a guy like Arden Key at DE and maybe a NT like Greg Gaines and I'd be quite pleased.

I just took BPA trying to create the best offense the league has ever seen. I think I achieved it with this draft
[Reply]

Thats insane haha

Patrick could average over 30 ppg with our second string offense with that draft.

Seriously though I *think* veach could load up on certain positions like WR in the draft, re-sign Wylie and let him compete with Niang and a middle round pick + sign a vet DE like he's done with Ingram (ok traded for him) and Dunalp. Realistically how could you not argue that team would be even better than this years super bowl team?
[Reply]

I couldn't argue, its just the players that are there. Addison and Hyatt probably both go top 15-20 and Scott could flirt with the 1st round as well. That's what makes it so eye-popping.

That said, you could get some value at WR in every single one of those rounds. I don't think Veach does that but I wouldn't be opposed to 1st and 4th round WRs.

Love doing mocks at this point as they're almost always ridiculous. For example:

Did a NFL one based on the assumption I was getting an RT in FA, they let me have:

30. Zay Flowers - WR
62. Calijah Kancey - DT
94. Will McDonald IV - DE
122. Sydney Brown - S
133. Isaiah McGuire - DE
167. Keondre Coburn - DT
197. Connor Galvin - OT
217. Andrei Iosivas - WR
219. Tyler Scott - WR
227. BJ Thompson - DE
250. Durell Nchami- DE/LB
258. Xazavian Halladay - RB

Almost all of those seem ridiculous to me, but a fun exercise. That's a nose tackle, a bazillion WR types to play with, speed rusher and power rusher DEs, 3rd safety and a developmental OT.

No chance of course, especially picks like Scott.

What is with the NFL Mock Draft Database Simulator? I'd get down to the 5th or 6th round and people would be offering me 1st round picks the next season for them.
[Reply]

I've started trying to trade up in the 1st to the teens.

You've got Karlaftis, probably for the next decade. Go get another edge rusher and set your bookends for a decade.
[Reply]

I had the Texans offer me their entire 2024 draft for a 6th and a 7th lol
[Reply]

Got this beauty from the PFN Simulator. I'd say their rankings need adjusting soon...

30. Broderick Jones OT Georgia
62. Lukas Van Ness EDGE Iowa
94. Keeanu Benton DT Wisconsin
122. Wanya Morris OT Oklahoma
133. Trey Palmer WR Nebraska
167. Will Mallory TE Miami (FL)
197. Sydney Brown S Illinois
218. Mohamed Ibrahim RB Minnesota
220. Thomas Incoom EDGE Central Michigan
227. Riley Moss CB Iowa
250. Keion White EDGE Georgia Tech
257. Tyler Lacy DT Oklahoma State
[Reply]

Haha, holy s**t that would be fun. That's a beefy DL, good luck running on us! Sydney Brown is a bit of a draft crush for me. He was used much closer to the line and I'm hoping teams think he's just a thumper and overthink it. Would LOVE him to fall to us from the 4th but little chance, at 197 I would be elated.
[Reply]

I see you're a fan of Van Ness too. What do you think about Van Ness at 30/31?
