Hey Jolly and Mik - Mock Draft Simulator

Best OT available at 14. Second rounder? I'm betting on a safety. They'll trade back into the third, for what, I have no idea...

[Mik]

I think we'll be going for defense this year. We SHOULD have the O-line shored up, but I question the depth. We need a nose tackle and maybe a center. I suspect we'll pick up a WR along the line as we won't be able to keep all of them.

At 14 I think you go for Latham. He can start immediately, and will be a future Pro-Bowler.

You guys need an EDGE…

He's a grown man, but I think he's naturally a RT. A lot depends on where they think Ram is in his recovery process.

Penning hasn't worked out at LT, but the guy was hurt his first year and I think he's been badly coached.

Everybody got a tackle! Must say that I was very surprised by Cincinnati grabbing Mims with all of the defensive players still on the board.

[Mik]

I was too.

@Mik Mims had been linked to the Steelers A lot through the process. He’s a RT, played on the Bulldogs (with our Tackle Broderick Jones and TE Darnell Washington) so I read up on him. He will either be an all pro or out of the league in 3 years. He hastremendous physical tools and is a big, big, man. Jonathan Ogden is the comp… The issue is that he only has 8 total starts, 103 pass sets in his career. He missed half of last year with ankle injuries. He had surgery in the middle of the season, came back and injured the ankle again. Then he pulled his hamstring at the combine.

If the kid stays on the field, he will be a huge addition. If he doesn’t? Ouch.

I was personally rooting for a trade back, or taking one of the CBs. It’s not a huge need, but it is a need, and if we paired one of those guys up with Joey Porter Jr, our backfield would be scary…

[Mik]

Exactly. His experience and durability are questionable.

You get a tackle! And you get a tackle! And you get a tackle!...

Football has changed. Caleb Williams was talking about how he paints his nails.

[Mik]

You can see the effect of NIL in turning the draft into a fashion show.

[Jolly]

Seriously, the Saints got the guy that most mocks had going to them. He's versatile, which the Saints love. I don't think they've given up on Penning, but Ram's career may be over due the bad knee. So, this kid may be starting at RT in the fall.

JJ to Minnesota! Plus an Alabama lineman. I'll take it.

Bust of the night?

Bo Nix.

Denver was desperate...

When Penix went to Atlanta, that threw everything into chaos.

[LuFins Dad]

Pearsall is a WR I was watching for late 2nd early 3rd. That SF took him before McKonkey, Legette, Mitchell, and Polk is very odd.

[LuFins Dad]

Jenkins was a great pick for the Bengals. If he was available at 51, I think I would have liked for Pittsburgh to have taken him.

[Mik]

Burton WR Bama. Must be for leverage with Highins and Boyd.

[Jolly]

Saints are drinking the Kool-aid, taking a DB in the second round.

They love DB's in the 2nd.
