but I also know the mocks right now are going to drastically change between now and draft.

Senior Bowl, Pro Days, Combine, Free Agency, etc. 

Yeah, it will change a lot over the next few months. 

Ran a mock yesterday (PFF), where I traded back with the Chargers:

R1 - Ioane (IOL)

R2 - Young (EDGE)

R2 - Hunter (DL)

R3 - York (LB)

R4 - Raridon (TE)

Obviously, there will be so much change between now and then.

That still is a pretty good haul as it stands now, DH. I wouldn't complain with that outcome.

Board didn't shake out the way that I wanted, but, it's an immediate upgrade on the offensive line (Wirfs, Ioane, Barton, Mauch, Goedeke). 

Upside EDGE player to compete with Walker/Yaya (I'm assuming they sign someone in FA)

Rotational piece at DL and a starter at LB (and, again, I'm assuming they sign a starter in FA).

Yeah, that happens. Except in the world of the Red Board GM, where you know exactly what every team in front of you and behind you will do. Then you can trade up and trade back accordingly to get the perfect players.

Jeremiah

 

"Cashius Howell -one of my favorite players to study, Howell plays 100 mph at all times and has the production to back it up (27 career sacks, 35.5 tackles for loss).

Two guys I wanted before the sr bowls when watching tape was Gabe Jacas and Rodriguez. They are both having really good sr bowls. Typically thru history sr bowl performance holds a lot of weight.

i don’t mind rd1 and rd2 reach on paper. But I think if you think he’s the guy someone else will think he’s the guy. Except Issac Tesla they should have just waited to their pick lol

Similar to how I saw Carson schwesinger who went 33 and was loosely labeled a reach with projected 3-5 round grade and is now DROY.

Rodriguez is crushing the Senior Bowl. Definitely helping his draft stock.

I originally thought third round pick but now I'm thinking early second.

At #15, here's some of the most recent mocks

  • CBS Sports: Cashius Howell, edge, Texas A&M
  • NFL Media: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
  • The Athletic: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
  • Yahoo Sports: C.J. Allen, LB, Georgia

 

Would love to see if we're able to trade back.

I like Howell and McCoy out of that 4, you can find first round production more likely in the 2-7 at LB and TE than first round production from DE and CB

Agreed on Howell and McCoy. 

And, pretty much agree on the rest. 

Would lump in iOL in that later category as well (which we desperately need).
