I really like that and could certainly see those first three picks happening. I wanted to put Trapilo in mine but couldn't manage it. If we go WR at 38, I do think Sampson could be the pick in the 3rd but there's no way he lasts to 144. As for Pat Bryant, I love his film. He's not fast which will hold him back but I really like players that just do everything right.
I'm not familiar with Bryant, Sampson, McWilliams or Griffith, beyond what you've posted here. I thought the 2026 R2 was pricey, but for this exercise, it really didn't matter, because I think if they have decided the want Ozzy (and I believe they've already made that decision one way or the other) then they'll reach for him to be sure they get him. I thought it was more important to run the sim as I could, and getting back into R2 for a OT, specifically Ozzy is certainly something I think they'll do. I would have liked to get Kyle Williams instead of Bryant, but missed him, and Princely was a fine consolation.
Regarding Pat Bryant he looks so good on film very well rounded. That 4.61 40 time makes you wonder: but I remember Anquan Bolden didn't run well and went on to have a excellent playing career. WR Ricky White improved his 40 at his Pro Day he's another one who plays a heck of a lot faster than his 40 time. I wouldn't mind either in a double dip scenario.
Great job. Well done. I think that Grant will go a lot earlier. Wallace was the 68th pick so I highly doubt Grant will go later than Wallace. I said I saw Grant going to the Chiefs in a mock draft, but now I am wondering if it was Kenneth not Charles - LOL. Too many mocks so I might have lost track. Either way Trapilo about 43 seems about right, but C Grant at 75 seems too low to me. This probably will not track with BPA, but it looks like we will have to overdraft the tackles.
I'm 100% on the LT over-draft train. There's gonna be a run a some point and teams will panic buy. Better to get your guy early and just get it over with IMO.
I agree. It opens up the rest of the draft to go where you want. And no stress at the end of day one or beginning of day two about trades. I also don’t know what there is to gain by not taking a LT at 4. If you trade down, you’ll only have to give a pick back to trade up and if you take Walker at 4, while you’re getting a prospect with clear talent, as an undersized tweeter, he’s no less a risk than Campbell or Membou.
Are you in the LT or bust camp or is this provided Hunter and Carter are off the board?
I think my exercise shows that if you want to trade back to get more players, it's better to take your OT with the first trade back. There's no guarantee you can parlay back into R1 without paying a tax, and then you run the risk of not getting your guy at all by the time #38 rolls back. At #11, Warren was gone, too. There was no sure fire TD scorer at that point, Tet and Jeanty were also gone. I could have had Simmons with his question marks or Banks, who's also not a lock down sure fire guy, either. I found it interesting that all six of the "usual suspects" were gone at #38 on the first time I ran this scenario. I know I have been on board the Ozzy crazy train (pun intended) for a while, but he's not a sure thing, either, otherwise he'd be getting R1 looks as well.
Yeah the real test of their draft comes at 38. They could have some sweet options at the DL.
Provided Hunter and Carter are off the board.
WR, DL, interior OL and the pick of the speed RBs. Hard to go wrong at 38 if you get a LT @4.
So draft Noel, Williams or Henderson and add some much needed speed to the offense. If you can do that and trade back from 38, even better.
