First Meaningless 2025 Mock

[aluminum seats]

Chiming in here as a non-draft guy, seems to me the odds of the Pats drafting Campbell is like 90+ percent? Am I wrong? Just seems inevitable that’s the way it’s gonna shake out

 

[captain stone]

Last one probably for another week while the missus & I leave tomorrow morning to celebrate Saint Paddy's Day with my sister & her husband at their new (to us) place in Bonita Springs FLA; we'll hit the beach and maybe catch a Dead Sux game too... Mostly the usual suspects here, with one or two new faces added:

24. Josh Simmons OT Ohio State; no major faller like Jeanty last time, so I just played the chalk after a big trade-down to 20 from the Donkeys and a smaller one from the Vikings.
38. Kenneth Grant DT Michigan
52. Jayden Higgins WR Iowa State; not ****ing-around this time.
69. TreVeyon Henderson RB Ohio State
82. Lathan Ransom S Ohio State
89. Jaylin Noel WR Iowa State; didn't think he'd still be available.
95. Bradyn Swinson EDGE LSU
103. Elijah Arroyo TE Miami (FL)
121. Logan Brown OT Kansas; this is the New Reality for him.
132. Oluwafemi Oladejo EDGE UCLA; Danny Stutsman was already taken.
161. Zah Frazier CB UTSA; big run on CBs during the previous 30 picks.
187. Willie Lampkin OG North Carolina
215. Jermari Harris CB Iowa
220. Cody Simon LB Ohio State; might've gone with Tyler Batty if I had taken Stutsman earlier.
253. Ryan Fitzgerald K Florida State

IDK. Seems like Cleveland is stupid but go with Cam Ward but do need a LT. Giants wind up with Rodgers and do need a LT (so this is the spot of most trepidation if you want Campbell IMO). Titans go with Hunter/Carter. 33%.

I think it comes down to Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter. If neither are there, I think you are right. If one of them makes it four, hopefully they'll do the right thing and draft one of them but still could go Campbell after trading back.

If Ward goes 1 there is a chance that Cleveland might take Shadeur Sanders. There word here in Cleveland is that they like Sanders a lot and they feel that he could fit Stefanski's offense similar to the way that Kirk Cousins did in Minnesota. They badly need a QB as the only one currently on the Brown's roster is Kenny Pickett.

Cleveland is desperate and desperation leads to dumb decisions.

Last one before FA officially begins.

I sure as hell hope not. I just see more problems in his game than in other some other guys. I am also all the out on Kelvin Banks

 

[manxman2601]

This was an experiment. I wanted to build a dominant running game on offense around Omarion Hampton, provide depth on the DL and draft Vrabel type guys.

Of note, Hollin Pierce is the highest graded run blocking LT on PFF and Willie Lampkin the highest graded run blocking guard (although I drafted him to play centre). Jack Sawyer covers both Landry and White whilst Deone Walker, who apparently played last season with a broken back, is Barmore insurance.

You've bottomed out.

Trade down with Dallas get picks to fray the cost of going in at #24 and hope Warren or Stewart were there. Cost is essentially not taking Hunter, #77, Dallas #42 and 2026 NE #2. What you get is 2nd Edge in Draft, future LT, future LG (Jackson), WR Higgins, and a bunch of decent players starting at #106.

You were in the Bottom 30% of Pats Drafts, bad joke.

It's not fair. My mock simulator doesn't even let Higgins get to 38.

Aside from Majors and Tonka who I'm not really familiar with, this is a borderline perfect mock.

"Your" mock lol

I'll take credit for Majors and Tonka. I'll take any of the Longhorns OL after round 5 and Tonka is basically a poor man's Mason Graham IMO.

Yeah, Steve102 was talking up Majors, too. Tonka had a v good Shrine game. Smart, tough player.

As in the mock simulator I use. It's not difficult to understand...LOL.
