First Meaningless 2025 Mock

Everytime I watch how well Davis and Carter play in the middle of Eagles line I imagine Graham would be the choice.
 
This is what I came up with using a sim. Traded down twice, ended up with two 3’s in 2026 and actually still had solid players available.

Draft Picks:
1. Josh Conerly Jr. - OT, Oregon (Pick 32)
2. Xavier Restrepo - WR, Miami (FL) (Pick 38)
3. Omarion Hampton - RB, North Carolina (Pick 45)
4. Airenoutae Ersery - OT, Minnesota (Pick 50)
5. Matthew Golden - WR, Texas (Pick 59)
6. Donovan Ezeiruaku - EDGE, Boston College (Pick 69)
7. Barrett Carter - LB, Clemson (Pick 77)
8. Smael Mondon Jr. - LB, Georgia (Pick 98)
9. Jordan Phillips - DT, Maryland (Pick 150)
10. Ricky White - WR, UNLV (Pick 151)
11. Rylie Mills - DT, Notre Dame (Pick 219)
12. Trevor Etienne - RB, Georgia (Pick 222)

Additional Picks:
• 2026 DAL 3rd Round Pick
• 2026 IND 3rd Round Pick

Trading down from 4 to 32 is brave. That's the type of trade that would get you sacked as a GM if it didn't work out.

It was actually two trade downs and what prompted it was there were multiple players I had graded equally remaining each time. I should say I passed on Travis Hunter the first time, and did just miss Banks the LT at #14. I suspected I could get Conerly later and was right.

Unrealistic draft, but that tool is fun.

Conerly and Restrepo with 1 and 2…plus the additional picks I ended up with…I’d take it.

Now if Carter hadn’t been gone by #4 I’d have just picked him.

These mock draft tools are fun you're right. The issue with them is is that the way they value players are all over the place. Take Ezeiruaka and Golden. The one I use (PFF) has them going in the top 38 every time but Ersery is available in the 3rd almost every time too. Who knows which one ends up right in the end.

I will say this, if we came out of the draft with Conerly, Restrepo and Hampton - our offense certainly gets a boost.
 
Love Restrepo. Other than the superkids (Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams) he was the WR I had the most fun watching this season in CFB, just clutch catch after clutch catch. I think he could be a superstar with the Texans, Rams, or Commanders.

I wasn't feeling him like that his comp is Danny Amendola. I think Wes Welker and Edelman had much more wiggle. I can see Josh begging after a visit.

That's what disappointed me about him when I watched him.I was expecting him to be much more sudden and quick.

Glad you saw what I saw manman: I wasn't impressed with his tape.
 


Could have taken Mumpfield as a UDFA, but that's not an option. Mafah, Slackman and Truss were BPAs.
 
I am trying to max out the value at each pick and it's hard to find the soft landing spot for the skill position players. I don't feel comfortable taking any in the 1st or 2nd round but then they come off the board quick so I just did 2 different scenarios after taking Carter at 4
