NFL draft - Let's post some mocks

quote:

---

8. Myles Murphy
EDGE Clemson

47.Jack Campbell
LB Iowa

75.Hendon Hooker
QB Tennessee

110.Moro Ojomo
DT Texas

113.Emil Ekiyor Jr.
OG Alabama

224.Jordan Howden
S Minnesota

225.Shaka Heyward
LB Duke

2024 WAS 3rd

---

Made one trade. Dropped two spots in the draft and picked up a 3rd rounder next year.

Not thrilled with my picks. But not terrible for a quick first try.

Love the Iowa LB at that spot.
Hate Hooker at that spot.

No trades:

8. Jalen Carter - DT, Georgia
44. Keion White - DE, Ga Tech
75. Tank Bigsby - RB, Auburn
110. Jonathan Mingo - WR, Ole Miss
113. DeMarvion Overshown - LB, Texas
224. Malik Cunningham - QB, Louisville
225. Mo Ibrahim - RB, Minnesota

Mingo is soft/afraid to get hit.

They wont draft Carter. Its Tyree or Bijan IMO

Not the most realistic since Carter dropped to 8 but I couldn't pass him up. I'm just having fun with it and not taking it serious so if you disagree, IDGAF

Bijan would be the worst pick possible.

Not if he's the best player on the board.

And Fontenot has always preached BPA.

Normally you would be right but Bijan is a generational back. He's an exception to the rule.

But I do agree that if Skoronski or Paris Johnson are on the board at 8 along w/Bijan to take one of the OL'man. Trenches win football games.

I do not believe he is a generational back. The media has hyped this guy up beyond belief since he was a senior in high school. He is not better than Saquon Barkley, Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott and all of them were “generational backs”. He is not better than Nick Chubb and he wasn’t tabbed as a generational back. “Generational backs” are a dime a dozen and rarely make it past their rookie contract. It would be a tragedy to draft him 8th overall and pay him 24 million rookie contract only to have him behind our perfectly good, 5th round, second year RB Allgeier.

Amen.

Also, if your looking for that skill set in a RB in this draft, Tyjae Spears from Tulane, Kenny McIntosh from UGA, and Keaton Mitchell from ECU all can come in and contribute immediately.

for what it’s worth, here is what I have determined after running this mock more times than I would like to admit.

1)Bijan is a generational back. He is that good, and whoever gets him will fall in love with him on and off the field.

2) I always end up wanting to run the wishbone during the draft because..

Gibbs
Archane
Evans
Bigsby
Miller
Roschon Johnson

All of those guys are really good. No, they aren’t as good as Bijan.. but the question becomes..

Paris Johnson + Roschon

or

Bijan + OT who I don’t know.

I’m not a scout, but I think Bijan may slide some tonight because of the quality of the other backs in the draft.

It’s the same argument as Fantasy Football.
Why take a great QB early when you get a damn good one in the 6th round but get a stud RB in the first round to go with him.

Just my two cents.

I don’t watch the NFL much at all anymore, but if I were a non-playoff team, I would trade back as much as I could and load up on next years draft.

Caleb Williams is that good.
