First Meaningless 2025 Mock

Another one from PFN's 3/24 update... Didn't plan on taking THREE WRs on Day 2, but sometimes **** happens, such as Henderson being taken earlier than expected... Besides, if this ****ing incompetent ****ing clown car of a ****ing front orifice REFUSES to adequately address the Left Tackle & WR positions, then I'll have to do it myself:

20. Josh Simmons OT Ohio State

41. Tyleik Williams DT Ohio State - just missed-out on Kenny Grant by ONE pick; and Donovan Jackson was taken in the first round

56. Jayden Higgins WR Iowa State

58. Elic Ayomanor WR Stanford - RB TreVeyon Henderson was taken by da Bears at 51, and Ayomanor was one of the best players available regardless of position... I also hoped I would get either DE Bradyn Swinson or Prince Ummagumma with #69... Oopsies...

69. Mason Taylor TE LSU - oh well; there's always Gillotte or Kennard at 79... right?

79. Jaylin Noel WR Iowa State - under most circumstances I would be RUNNING to the podium for Noel at 79, but I had still hoped that would've had a Pass-Rusher in tow by now...

83. Cameron Skattebo RB Arizona State - Pass-Catching RB Plan B

84. Anthony Belton OT NC State

119. Jaylen Reed S Penn State

123. Danny Stutsman LB Oklahoma

144. Jack Sawyer EDGE Ohio State - wishful thinking

153. Charles Grant OT William & Mary - Left GUARD of the future?

156. Nohl Williams CB California

166. Que Robinson EDGE Alabama - earlier than I usually look for him, but it's a long way from 166 to 200

200. Willie Lampkin OG North Carolina

216. Caleb Ransaw CB Tulane - wishful thinking here too, but he's the perfect #3 DB to draft, capable of playing both outside & deep middle

255. Ryan Fitzgerald K Florida State

2026 BUF 2nd
2026 CHI 3rd
2026 DAL 3rd
2026 SEA 4th

Jack Sawyer at 144? Okay.

Those first 6 picks are beautiful. so are picks 144-200.

Made possible mostly by trading down multiple times from #4 overall, the most valuable card we have in our deck... Damn shame if we didn't play it for all it's worth.

I don't think it's realistic but it's valuable in terms of exploring different prospects.

Nice picks. I think the three WRs go before you've got them slotted, but good job.

Bonus points on burning a draft pick for Fitzmagic the kicker. No more saying they should be UDFAs!

I tried to make my 17th and final pick as late as possible in the knowledge that any Special olympics Teamer I wanted would still be available... But I would never, Ever draft one in Any round unless I had at least 15 picks total; with our "talent" base being what it is, we need as many draft picks as we can get our hands on, and use them on Real football players.

Yup. You say that now. You still took him. It's on the interwebs forever now.
 
Almost the dream draft for me! Someone did a "Protect Drake at all cost" mock earlier, I drew my inspiration for this, from that.

.Jack Bech went one pick before (76) I picked (Collins.) Sadly, I was bummed. Although Collins is a good prize. It would have been my perfect mock if I had got Bech. All 2026 picks remain. Also, I've only been doing drafts, where if the first 3 picks have any unrealistic pick at all, I refresh and start again.

The lack of a WR is an issue but the OL side of things is great. Like the Henderson and Collins picks too and Batty/Moore as later rounders.

Yeah, when I lost bech like that it took me a round to recover haha. I should have gone with Kyle Williams.

I definitely agree we need at least one WR. However, if we could solidify our line this much in one go, I think we could manage and get by with our current cast of WR’s, and address it with our first next year if they still wash out. You never know. With a top 10 line, our current WR’s might just play to their potential.

I would love this.

That pretty much fills all of our needs with decent prospects at reasonable draft value. I assume Hunter and Carter are off the board when you made that first trade?

Icing on the cake would be if the Raiders flop and that 1st rounder next year becomes #1 overall and puts us in position to auction Arch Manning off to the highest bidder…. Assuming Maye continues to develop as expected, of course.

Almost any team in the top 10 I feel that would still be garbage next year, that wants to trade up for our first this year, but only give 2nd round picks as comp. I’m making them swap out 1st round picks in 2026.

I guess it’s a little gamble on yourself. But I don’t see us being bottom 5 next year. Could be a cool way to get a top 5 pick next year.
 
So with Bentley being released, how do people see the LB position being addressed, if at all?

Late in the draft. Even if you disregard Tavai and Mapu we still have four on the roster (Monty Rice played under Vrabel before). I doubt they go for a LB until late day three.
