First Meaningless 2025 Mock

Secondary is shaping up.

We STILL don't have a Devin McCourty replacement; and Carlton the Doorman Davis was a HORRIBLE signing at the price. Otherwise we're in great shape.
 
First mock from PFN with an April update; the draft is finishing the clubhouse turn and is now facing the home stretch...

28. Josh Simmons OT Ohio State
38. Kenneth Grant DT Michigan; I keep taking him ahead of offense because he could become our best DT since Wilferk
58. Bradyn Swinson Edge LSU; Higgins, Noel & Henderson were already taken, and this one's not available very often now

60. Jack Bech WR TCU
71. Elic Ayomanor WR Stanford; I was thinking of taking him at 60 instead of Bech

74. Anthony Belton OT NC State; sorry not sorry, but I prefer him to Ozzy

79. Cameron Skattebo RB Arizona State
89. Elijah Arroyo TE Miami (FL); I was thinking of taking him at 79 instead of Skattebo

113. Danny Stutsman LB Oklahoma
131. Jacob Parrish CB Kansas State; I was thinking of taking him at 113 instead of Stutsman

147. Jack Sawyer EDGE Ohio State
160. Jack Nelson OT Wisconsin; between these two and Bech, I might have cornered the market on Jacks

181. Zah Frazier CB UTSA
199. Willie Lampkin OG North Carolina
220. Craig Woodson S California; between he & Frazier, I'm hoping a Free Safety of the Future emerges

248 Jo'Quavious Marks RB USC; I hope that McD returns the 3rd-Down Back to this offense... And yes, LaQuint was already taken

256. Efton Chism WR Eastern Washington; I was gonna take the kicker, but **** it Pop Douglas needs competition for the Slot position, depending on where Diggs is used...

2026 HOU 2nd
2026 CAR 3rd
2026 CAR 4th
2026 NO 4th
2026 SF 6th
Plus an extra 7th plus All 7 of our own picks = 13

I like this mock, and when I play that game come up with similar results.. the only question I can think of can a this team absorb 18 rookies, while I would like to think they could has any team ever accomplished a task such as this???
Really like the emphasis on the Offense, as it looks like a complete rebuild.
 
How about 15?


I've completely overhauled the OL. Got an every down RB. Bentley's replacement. A couple WRs to compete for a role. DL and DB depth pieces. And I'm pretty much locked in on Dippre with my last pick from now until draft day.

As I toy with these mocks I like what you have done here, several I have done lately have traded back a bit and picked up Ashton Jeanty.. then rebuilt the oline + add a couple of tall receivers.
If these mocks were real, like the whole idea of rebuilding the O trenches..

I traded back with the team with the most picks in Philly. Lord knows they don't need that many. Then i traded back up with the team with the least picks in Minnesota. With all that draft capital i got from Philly i could target anyone i want but there's so many guys that I've grown to like late it's hard to pass on them lol
 
Like this started out the same but then I targeted Elic in the back end of the 3rd.
Ordinarily I’d be pissed to see a 20 position drop in the first round, even to get an extra first next year, especially from a team (Vikings) that could be a playoff team (if McCarthy surprises or “someone else” parachutes in and plays well). But this years talent distribution is unfortunately not ordinary. With that said I personally don’t think Simmons will be there at 24 so if he, Campbell, Membou, and Banks are gone but Conerly, Ersery are, do you pick the OT there or go for someone higher rated and hope for an OT later?

Unless you plan for the future rather than having high expectations for 2025 and draft Charles Grant or they’ve had good feedback on Ozzy switching, there’s a drop off after Conerly.
 

If Boy Wonder is available at 4. Better hope Ozzy makes it at LT this year. Rolli g out with VD Lowe doesn’t sound healthy for the QB

Loveland is Hernandez without the tats and killing. CG will develop into a quality LT methinks. Marks is our new Sweetfeet third down back.

Fixed the oline in one draft. I can get behind a vision like that.
 
Another meaningless draft, this time Jeanty was available.. not sure how I could pass on him with lead to an almost complete revamping of or offense...
