Okay this one is my more riskier draft. I am doing what "I" think needs to happen, for each team, and will explain my moves as it goes.
1) Cincinnati - Joe Burrows Qb LSU - Yeah, would love to have Miami or some other team move up and give a ton of picks to make Cincy move. But it just isn't going to happen. This is still a Brown's family owned team.
2) Washingon - SHOCK PICK - Tua Tagovailoa Qb Alabama - Yes, New HC and GM talk Daniel Snyder into taking a Qb again, and getting the REAL Qb of the future for Washington. This will of course make the next few picks VERY interesting. Key here is do the Redskins then deal Haskins....
3) Detroit - TRADE - Los Angeles Chargers - Yup, you guessed it. Chargers NEED a Qb of the future and once again want to snipe Miami so they move quickly to deal with Detroit. Chargers select - Justin Hebert Qb Oregon.
4) NY Giants - Chase Young DE Ohio State - I had them set to take OT here, but you simply can't pass up the player. I would not be shocked to see someone trade up to get extra picks for Giants - but then again, knowing the Giants - they would screw it up.
5) Miami - Tristan Wirfs OT Iowa - This is Miami's nightmare. They have moved through FA with ease and picked up many pieces to improve, but they didn't get the franchise Qb they wanted, and didn't get the DE that could change the game. This comes back to haunt Miami at some point.
6) Detroit - previous trade with LAC - Jeff Okudah Cb Ohio State - deep down, I do think Detroit is thinking the future when Stafford is done, but they have way too much invested in Stafford, and they desperately need to replace Slay who they traded to Philadelphia.
7) Carolina - Derrick Brown DT Auburn - LB is a close pick here, but Simmons is more of an OLB and they need ILB. Brown will help rebuild the decimated defensive line in Carolina.
8) Arizona - Mekhi Becton OT Louisville - Must pick for Arizona - they have to help protect the young Qb and get him more time to throw, and protect his body. IT also will greatly help the running game.
9) Jacksonville - SHOCK PICK - Jordan Love Qb Utah - I made this pick last time, and I am sticking with it. Gardner Minshew is NOT the future of this team. I don't think Cam is the answer either. I also think that getting Jameis Winston would be a HUGE mistake. So grab the young gun, let him learn for a year, Had ANY of the top three defenders still been there - Young, Brown or Okudah, that would have been the pick. Henderson at Cb is still an option...but they wanted to grab this guy before Miami comes back up and get another shot at the young Qb.
10) Cleveland - Jedrick Willis Jr OT Alabama - yeah as before I KNOW they signed Conklin at OT in FA - but he is a RT. They NEED a left OT to protect Baker better. They have the Wrs, they have TE, they have Rb, they have a decent D. But they HAVE to fix that awful OL
11) NY Jets - Jerry Jeudy Wr Alabama - this team needs a ton, but the ONE thing it MUST do is get tools for Sam Darnold to use. Loss of Anderson in FA really hurts this offense, and I am NOT the huge fan of Perriman as some. So bringing in a young Wr for Sam to help develop with is a must.
12) Las Vegas - CeeDee Lamb Wr Oklahoma - yes I had them take Cb last draft and probably would again, but Chucky has to prove if Carr is the guy or not, and to do that they really need Wrs to help Carr develop. They have added some help with Agholor and Witten at TE, but lets face it, Lamb is really what that offense needs to take pressure off of Carr and Jacobs
13) San Francisco - previous trade with Indianapolis(Buckner) - Javon Kinlaw DT South Carolina - too good to pass up, and I don't think they need to trade up to get him like I had before. This is a pure need, other than Wr, which I don't think is a urgent as some.
14) Tampa Bay - Andrew Thomas OT Georgia - Again, they spent to get the GOAT, they need to keep him off his back.
15) Denver - Henry Ruggs III Alabama - Need a running mate for Sutton, and this kid can fly. Lock is dancing a jig right now.
16) Atlanta - Isaiah Simmons OLB Clemson - Pass rushing from the outside is a dire must, and the Falcons RUN to the microphone to make this pick.
1) Cincinnati - Joe Burrows Qb LSU - Yeah, would love to have Miami or some other team move up and give a ton of picks to make Cincy move. But it just isn't going to happen. This is still a Brown's family owned team.
