 Oh my gosh, wow, look at that. Wow, ladies and gentlemen, you are joining us for the official NFL Mock Draft 2020 Untimed 2 football. My name is Asan Khan, the host of this show, and we are being joined by a very, very special guest. If you're a time to football regular, you may know his name, Michael Watson. He first appeared in the Madden Tournament, which he beat me and cut my hair. So I'm going to give the floor to you. Just introduce yourself to the people that aren't familiar with you. And what are three things that you like? My name is Michael Watson, and I am the Madden champion. I am the best barber in town. As you can see, Hasan's subscribers have greatly increased since his haircut. Coincidence? Probably not. I should get a share. We'll see. Three things I like. I like the Green Bay Packers. I like the Wisconsin Badgers. And I like the Milwaukee Brewers. And that's it. No one else. What an introduction. That was phenomenal. I can't top that. We can't follow it. So ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for watching this video. But we're actually going to get into it now. So this NFL Mock Draft is actually pretty fun when we've got planned. We've got a lot of surprises coming up. Because what we did is we did a lot of research. Because when you read mock drafts online, all these people are just basing it off of like, OK, maybe a couple people actually watch film on these players. And then they just read off the rest of these mock drafts and come up with their own educated guess. That's not exactly what we did. We watched film on all these players, hundreds and thousands of hours on all these players, to come up with the best educated mock draft in the world. I did 30 hours just in the last 24 hours. Yeah, it's phenomenal. It's incredible, because mock drafts are legit. Because whatever we say is going to happen. But it's actually going to get a little messed up because we each created our own mock drafts. But here's a kicker. We are going to take turns going back and forth drafting as if we were the general manager of the team. So for instance, if I'm the Cincinnati Bengals, I have the number one pick, and I picked Joe Burrow. Maybe I picked Chase Young. I don't know. That's going to throw off maybe Mikey's drafting. He's like, oh, dude, I thought you're going to pick Joe Burrow, number one overall. Now Chase Young's gone. Who are the Redskins going to pick? And we're just going to go back and forth. We're going to have a bunch of trades for you guys as well. So Mikey, are you ready to get started? I sure am. You going to start us off with the Bengals GM position, or shall I do the honors? Actually, I thought let's go into it. We don't know whether we're going to have the even number picks or the odd number picks. So we can do rock, paper, scissors to determine which one the other person wants to pick, whoever the winner is. You want to do that? Let's do it. I am also a rock, paper, scissors champion. That's false. He's about to lose right now. You're about to watch. All right. OK, let's do this. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. OK, that's two out of three. Like I said before. It's OK. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. I figured that would work. Easy as one, two. That's fine. That's OK. Didn't have to get the three. You are the winner. You get to choose. Do you want picks one, three, five, seven, all the odd numbers? Or do you want two, two, four, six? Give me the odds. You want to do the odds? Yes. OK, you like to go with the odds. I like to go against the odds. With your number one overall pick, if you're the Cincinnati Bengals. All right, I need zero time to make this decision. If I was to the Bengals, I would draft Joe Burrow, hometown kid. Who doesn't like a hometown hero? We love him. We love him. I mean, I've been living in Atlanta my whole life. And it seems like every time they can draft a hometown kid, they never do it. So if I'm the Bengals, I'm taking Joe Burrow. He has a swagger. Never thought I'd use that word. I always hated when analysts use it. So I feel like I have to use it. He has a swagger about him. He is confident. I mean, the one question I have about him is his team in Louisiana. They had so many top receivers. He's going to go into Cincinnati with an AJ Green who's been beat up the last couple of years. And they really don't have anyone else as a strong number one option other than AJ. And he's beat up. So it'll be interesting to see what Joe Burrow can bring to the Bengals. Now it's on to my turn. And for the number two overall pick, I had the Washington Redskins selecting Chase Young. Defense event from Ohio State. This guy is a monster, the best player in this NFL draft. And I think it's just without question that Ron Rivera is going to love someone like him, who's going to be the defensive cornerstone, who's better than apparently all the Bosa brothers coming into the draft. With him being the best player in this NFL draft, I feel like the Washington Redskins, this is no brainer at this point. I 100% agree. Chase Young is the best player in this draft. He'd been the best player last draft and probably the last three drafts. He is just one of a kind. And when you have LeBron James endorsing you, you know you're legit. So Redskins, they're getting lucky here with the Bengals pick and burrow. And if they don't pick Chase Young, they should sell their franchise. That's, wow, what a bold statement. It's just a fact. They shouldn't change their name before they sell their franchise, too. Or both, probably. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. All right, on to my pick. Hold on, my phone's ringing. Oh, that's so respectful. Hello? Oh, Chris Greer, GM for the Miami Dolphins. Oh, my gosh. Oh, you would like my pick. That's going to cost you your fifth and probably a second round pick. OK, deal. Oh, we've got a trade. Trade alert. Chris Greer just called me. He has my number. Wow. He does. He would like my third overall pick. And with the third overall pick, the Miami Dolphins will be selecting to tag a lie volia. Close enough. Close enough. Wow, what a monster pick. It just had to happen. You're looking at a Miami team that's playing hard. I didn't think they were going to get one win last season. They finished out the season pretty strong. They're playing hard for their coach. Tua, I personally think, is the best quarterback in this class. And honestly, what I would love to see happen with this pick, it's pretty far-fetched. But I would love to see the Patriots move up. And Tua, Sabin and Belichick are really tight. And he's had a history of picking Alabama players. So I think, you know, I don't think it's too far-fetched. But I don't think it's going to happen. But I would love to see that happen. What I had at the number three pick was actually the Panthers trading up to the Lions to select Isaiah Simmons to be a replacement for Luke Keekley. But yeah, well, that's going to mess up my draft. Because at number four, I originally had the Chargers trading up over the Dolphins so that they could select their guy and Justin Herbert over the Dolphins. But now that's going to go back originally to the Giants who have the number four overall pick. And with the number four overall pick, I'm going to say that the Giants are actually going to select Jedrick Wills, offensive tackle from Alabama. So there's going to be a lot of talk about, oh, should we select Isaiah Simmons? Because he's 6'4 incredibly fast for his size. But I think that Daniel Jones is an investment and you want to protect him at all costs. Not only that, but Joe Judge, the new head coach for the New York Giants, has a lot of connections with Alabama with Nick Saban. Nick Saban speaks highly of Jedrick Wills. And I feel like that's going to be the guy for the New York Giants at number four. My problem with that pick, Jedrick didn't really play left tackle for Alabama. That's where my concern came in. So for me, I mean, Jedrick wouldn't be my first option if I'm looking for a left tackle. I do think he's able to play that position. But I think there's options that have shown that they can play that left tackle spot. And it's interesting, you're talking about the trade that you would have had in place at three and then four. It'll be interesting to see with the virtual draft. I think they're going to add on, my sources say, that they're going to add on time to each pick. And I just think this will give teams more options to explore different options and different trades. And I think this could be one of the craziest drafts. If not the craziest, I think there's going to be a ton of trades. All right, so from number three to number five, you had the Lions trading with the Dolphins. And now they're at number five. The Lions, they need a corner. And they can move down and get an extra asset by trading their number three pick. So they can get their guy, Jeff Acuda, from Ohio State. Kind of gives them that lockdown corner. And he's legit. He is someone you can put on an island you don't have to worry about putting a safety over the top. And especially after losing their top corner from last year, they have to go Jeff Acuda. And I don't see any other choice for them. And I think he's there at five. What's crazy is I actually had, I mentioned the trade with the Panthers at number three, the Lions fall down to seven, ironically enough. It ended up being a good trade for the Lions because they snag Jeff Acuda at number seven, which I think that's a steal, even at number five. For sure. But yeah, that's a solid pick for the Detroit Lions. Now, with the next pick at number six, we've got the Chargers. A lot of talk about offensive tackle quarterback. They get their guy that they love for the future. Justin Herbert from Oregon is going to be the next quarterback of the Los Angeles Chargers. And their theory, what they would love is for Tyrod Taylor to start and Justin Herbert to sit and learn, which by the way, that's bogus theory, which we proved on time in football that doesn't work. You're either good, you're either not good. But that's what NFL teams like to consider. That's what they do for quarterbacks. And I feel like that's what they're going to do. Justin Herbert may not start in week one. But I think he's going to be the future quarterback for the LA Chargers going to the SoFi Stadium. What are your thoughts? Yeah, I think the Chargers would be licking their chops with Justin. Was their quarterback for the future? And if they can get him at six? I think, you know, Tua is obviously from Hawaii. So he kind of has that West Coast vibe. So I think their first choice would probably be Tua between the two. But I mean, Justin Herbert, he's no slouch. I mean, he's got an arm. Alrighty, so number seven, we have the Carolina Panthers. And this is a pick I'm excited about. I think it could go two ways. And I think these two players that I'm choosing between are the number two and number three players in this whole draft. And that would be Derek Brown and Isaiah Simmons. They are both freaks, monsters. You can only pick one, though. I personally, I would take the hometown kid from the area that we are in and Gwinnett and take Derek Brown. I didn't see one person flocking this year or last year or the year before that. So nothing's going to change in the NFL. He's going to get double teamed, triple teamed. And that just opens up for other players and just absolutely crazy talented Derek Brown. At number eight, I've got the Cardinals. So this is interesting because I'm looking at the draft board right now. And I'm thinking to myself, OK, what teams want to. You mentioned Isaiah Simmons. Isaiah Simmons is still the best player available on this draft board right now. I think at number eight, the Arizona Cardinals select Tristan Werff's offensive tackle out of Iowa. I personally believe this is the best offensive tackle in the draft. I had Jedrick Wills going to the Giants because of the ties with Alabama and Joe Judge. But I think if Kyla Murray is the investment and is the building block around this whole offense, they're going to go with offensive tackle. Yeah, I agree. Tristan Werff, he's went to Iowa. Breeds, linemen, big 10, Iowa, Wisconsin. Every year, it seems like there's first round pick between either of those schools. But I like the experience. I like the background of big 10, nasty football. He's going to be perfect for Kyla Murray, even though Kyla can basically escape any pocket. So elusive. But I mean, you want a left tackle to have your quarterback protected in the pocket. So I mean, Tristan Werff's, I had them actually go in Andrew Thomas. I love Andrew Thomas from Georgia. Yeah, good player. So underrated. Oh, yeah. So underrated. And this class is so deep at offensive tackle. It's probably the deepest offensive tackle class I've seen in the last 10 years, probably. It's pretty deep. I mean, it is just stacked. I mean, you can get a first round guy in every other draft in probably the second round this year. So yeah, but I love it. I think that's what the Cardinals need. And you can't go wrong there. Who do you got going at number nine? At number nine, I got the Jaguars Taken Isaiah Simmons. They'll be so lucky if he's there at nine. He's probably top three player in this draft overall. He's versatile. He can play safe. He can play blindback. He can play outside of blindback. He can play edge. He can get after the quarterback. He can guard tight ends. He can cover running backs out of the backfield. So I think the Jaguars put him next to Miles Jack. I mean, that's a crazy duo right there at linebacker. I had them originally going J-von Kinlaw. But if Isaiah Simmons falls, there's no way they pass on him. Yeah. There's no way. We talked about that Jaguar's defense. They did lose a lot of pieces, like corners and linebackers and Cleis Campbell as well. Yannick Negakwe is a question mark as well. So I originally had them going with Derrick Brown. But if Derrick Brown is gone and Isaiah Simmons is still available on the board, pair him up with, like you said, Miles Jack with Josh Allen, their first-round pick from last year. That's a good defense down in Jacksonville. That's solid, kind of rebuilding it to what it was a couple of years ago. Obviously, they've lost some corners. I mean, they lost Ramsey. I think they lost AJ. Bouye to the Broncos, yeah. So I mean, they're going to take a hit there at corner. The thing is, there's not really any star corners in this draft outside of Jeff Fakuda. So I don't think that they would necessarily waste their ninth pick on another corner. Gotcha. You know, it's a big need. They need one bad, but. I agree with you. I've got a corner. The next corner going is, we'll get to him. Oh yeah, I love that guy. He's just so good. Yeah, we'll get to him. At number 10, the Cleveland Browns. I was debating whether or not they're going to trade back because there are some teams that definitely do need a wide receiver. And some teams have their set wide receiver, whether they love CD Land, Jerry Judy, Henry Ruggs. I feel like the Browns are going to stay put at number 10. And they're going to select the next best offensive tackle in the NFL draft. And that is Andrew Thomas from Georgia. The reason for that is because they want to invest in Baker Mayfield. They feel like the season that he had last year was just an outlier. And they need some offensive line help give us some protection so that he can do what he did best a couple of years ago. They signed Jack Conklin in free agency from the Tennessee Titans, which is one of the more underrated free agent signings. So if you have Jack Conklin at right tackle and then at left tack, we've got Andrew Thomas, your two bookends right there. Those are two really good players. They're going to protect Baker Mayfield. Yeah, I mean, you look at the receivers they have in Cleveland and Titan, now they picked up Austin Hooper. So I mean, they need a left tackle to keep Baker upright so he can have more than 0.86 seconds in the pocket, even though that is still enough time to get the ball to Odell Beckham. So Andrew Thomas, they have to go tackle. So they're going to have their choice, I think, between a couple of them. And I don't think they can go wrong with any of them. And Andrew Thomas, he came into Georgia as a freshman, true freshman in the SEC and started and never lost that job. And there were other tackles there that were just as good or they had the talent to be just as good. But man, that guy just works. He's a quiet guy, but he just works so hard. And if you're starting, like I said, in the SEC as a true freshman, you're legit. And he did that for three years. And I saw him put people on their back pancake. So I mean, I never saw Jake Fromm get sacked much and definitely not from his side if it happened. So Andrew Thomas is the guy. I like it. Love it. So now we get into the fun. Oh my gosh. We get into the fun here. This is my favorite part of this draft. I think this is where we see receivers start going pretty quickly. At 11. At 11. And it's crazy, too, because there's so many elite receivers in this class. And the fact that none of them, I don't think, will get drafted in the top 10 unless someone makes a move. And I think there's just other needs in this draft. That's why they're not going in the top 10. And like I said, they're very well. Could be some trades happening. But I think the first one goes 11. And I think they go Jerry Judy. I mean, his route running, his speed. I mean, he's big, fast. They lose Robbie Anderson. So that offense needs some help. And they needed that quarterback. So that's funny, because last year we did this podcast. And I said, Sam Darnold was the second or third best quarterback in that class. Or maybe it was two years ago. I don't even remember today. But he's kind of just, I don't know if it's because he doesn't have options. I mean, you have Lady on Bell there to help you. But I mean, other than Robbie Anderson, they'd rather have anyone else. And they're still going to have one option after this draft, which is crazy, unless they go back to back receiver picks. But they have to go receiver. There's just no other option. They have to go receiver. See, here's the thing, though. I get what you're saying about they have to go with receiver. Because originally my pick for number 11 for the Jets was Makai Bekton. And the reason for that is because you could say, well, do you go from taking the fourth best offensive line, an offensive lineman in that draft? Or do you go with the best wide receiver? I feel like they were going to go with the fourth best offensive lineman, because Sam Darnold needs that protection. We saw that game against the Patriots with his QB rating was just horrendous. He needs protection up front. But then they also knew receiver help. And I felt like they were going to trade up and later in the draft to grab T. Higgins. But Jerry Judy, number 11, not a bad pick at all for Sam Darnold. Yeah. And that's funny, because I kind of had the roles reversed. I think the Jets could. I don't think necessarily they have to trade up. I think they could have an offensive tackle, maybe Josh Jones from Houston there available. Which again, he would be a definite first round pick if it wasn't for the other six great offensive tackles. I mean, I think they can still get that tackle late. And they could very well trade back and take a tackle out 11 and trade up and get a receiver. It'll be interesting to see what they do. Yeah, for sure. But I think we can both agree that that offense needs help. And whether it's tackle or receiver, that's they got to do something. They definitely do. Jerry Judy. I actually had Jerry Judy go into the Oakland Raiders. Oh my gosh. Las Vegas Raiders. Whoa, dude. Never thought I'd say that. But if you got Jerry Judy, oh, man, going to the Jets, I feel like the Raiders are going to select C.D. Lam. C.D. Lam, wide receiver one, Tyrone Williams, wide receiver two. On top of that, you got Darren Waller at tight end. You're getting Derek Carr some weapons. And I know there's a lot of talk about, oh, the Raiders aren't that invested in Derek Carr. Maybe we should move on. But I think Mike Mayock stays true to his word, because he had Derek Carr rated as a first round pick when he got drafted in 2014. So I think they're going to keep Derek Carr for the quarterback position for now. They're going to give him some weapons. And I feel like C.D. Lam is the next best option at wide receiver. I completely agree. I've seen some mock drafts where they have the Raiders moving up for a quarterback. I just don't see it. You signed Marriota. You're paying him a lot of money. You have a lot of money in Carr. And they might not be an elite quarterback. But I think what the Raiders do, I think if they make a move, it'll be next year. And I think it'll be for Trevor Lawrence. But I mean, I could see the Raiders. I mean, I think the Raiders have so many options in this draft. I think they could move up. But if they stay put at 12, they're going receiver and C.D. Lam, that guy is, you can high point the ball, he's quick, great route runner. And the Raiders need help on the outside at receiver. And C.D. Lam will definitely help get the great pick. That question. So 49ers at 13. So three receivers in a row, I got going. And I got them going. Henry Ruggs, who I personally think could be the best receiver out of this group. And it's crazy to think they had Judy and Ruggs at Alabama on the same team. They're both burners. And 49ers, they lose Emmanuel Sanders. So I think they need someone there to replace him. And other than George Kittle, I mean, they have Debo Samuel, who I think was a real nice surprise. I mean, I was really high on him coming in. But he had a far better year than I expected. So I think adding another weapon there is really all the 49ers are missing. That defense is top tier. They got Garoppolo. So giving him more options, it can only benefit 49ers. I like the option of having Henry Ruggs to replace Emmanuel Sanders at wide receiver. And given that the creative play calling of Kyle Shanahan made Debo Samuel have a breakout season, Henry Ruggs, with someone that kind of speed is going to do the same thing, is going to benefit them. But I feel like that wide receiver core is already crowded as it is. And I'm not saying that it's elite by any means, but you can make the best out of what the... Because in the third round last year, the draft of Jalen Hurd, who unfortunately got hurt, and he's coming back this year, so we don't know what he's gonna be bringing to the table. But I like the option of Henry Ruggs at number 13. At now, you know, what's funny is that at number 14, I had the Buccaneers trading back with the Philadelphia Eagles, so that the Eagles could select a wide receiver. And the best wide receiver that I had available at that point was CD Lam. And I had them trading like a first round pick this year, a first round pick next year, like they really wanted to get CD Lam when he fell in my mock draft. But with the Buccaneers at number 14, I don't know if the Eagles are gonna trade off for a receiver at that point. They really need some receiver help, and there's two guys, Justin Jefferson and T Higgins, that could be first round talents. So I'm gonna say that they do it. I'm gonna say that they're gonna see three straight wide receivers, according to our mock draft, get taken. They don't want the receivers to get taken anymore, so they trade up with the Buccaneers to number 14, and they select T Higgins, the 6-4 receiver from Clemson. I love it, but I don't love it. Oh, explain. So Buccaneers, you signed Tom Brady. Okay. Tom Brady, your receiver core, is probably the best in the league between Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. So I think they have to go tackle. I think they grab one of these top tackles, and I think they hope that one of these guys fall to them, and they have someone to protect Tom Brady, because, I mean, Tom Brady's not the fastest. He is actually the slowest. So you just wanna give him more time. I mean, he's gonna find Mike Evans. He's gonna find O.J. Howard. He's gonna find people. He just has to have the time, so I think they have to go tackle. Yeah, and the best available, according to our mock draft, is Mackay Bekdon, which at this point, we would assume that he'd already be taken, but... That's who I would... They would be drooling if Mackay Bekdon was there at 14. I agree. And I think he very well might be there at 14, and I just don't see how they're gonna pass them up. I just don't see it at all. Man, I get that. I really do. Tom Brady needs that offensive line help, but dude, the offer that the Eagles would give up to draft a wide receiver, a first round talent this year. I mean, I think it's too good for Bruce Arians and company to give up at that point. I just feel like you have a first round pick this year. You get, you know, trade back to what was in number 21, to Eagles, and then you get a first round pick if they offer that for next year. I mean, that's, you know, they're probably gonna be thinking long-term at that point, but I mean, Mackay Bekdon would be a good pick as well. I think the Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings are gonna be very active in this draft. I think they're gonna try to, I think they're both gonna try to move up and make sure that one doesn't get in front of the other. But I had the Vikings jump in in front of the Eagles around 20 with the Jaguars, so. Okay. Yeah, I think the Vikings, I think the Vikings jump the Eagles, but they're both gonna go receiver, so it'll be fun to see who gets there first. We'll see. So 15, we have the Denver Broncos, and this one, I was kind of torn between, I mean, I felt like they need help at corner that did sign AJ Buye, but I felt like they still need help at receiver, and it just feels like this wide receiver position has just been up in the air for so long at Denver. They've had one guy it feels like for so long, and then they never re-signed one, so they all just go away and they still have that one guy. So I think you pair up Justin Jefferson. Ooh, five straight receivers. Five straight receivers. I think you pair up Justin Jefferson from LSU with the Broncos, I think. They could very well go CJ Henderson. I was very torn between the two, but if I was sitting there and Justin Jefferson was there on the board, I just liked Jefferson more than CJ Henderson. I'm not a big fan of the corner class outside of Jeff Fakuda, and CJ Henderson, he just doesn't do it for me. He just doesn't, and it's weird because Florida usually has a good pipeline of corners, but I'm just not that high on CJ Henderson. You know, it's one of those things where you know when you're in school and you're taking a test and it says, or five straight answers, or C-C-C-C-C on a multiple choice test, and you're like, you have to erase one of them. You have to erase one of them, it can't be right. So like five straight receivers, I feel like it was the same thing, but I mean it just makes so much sense with court and Sutton there, who else do you have? You know, no fan of tight end, but at receiver, you got no one else, so Justin Jefferson. If Justin Jefferson goes to the Broncos at number 15, I feel like the Minnesota Vikings are gonna lose it because I had them picking Justin Jefferson because he's built just like Stefan Diggs, and he's just a good younger replacement for Stefan Diggs, pair him up with Adam Thielen, so, but I like that pick for the Denver Broncos, for Justin Jefferson. At number 16, the Atlanta Falcons, I've got my favorite team at this point, picking C.J. Henderson. Oh, heck. My heart. Florida. My heart. Hey man, I think he's a really good player at this point in the second best corner behind Akuta. Originally in my mock drafts at number 16, I have them picking Javon Kinlaw at defensive tackle because they need that interior help, but with Desmond Truffaut gone and with our mock drafts apparently being so messed up at this point that C.J. Henderson is available at number 16. I'm gonna go ahead and say that they draft him to pair him up with Isaiah Oliver at corner. Yeah, and I think if this draft were to fall, like how it's falling, their two options are Javon Kinlaw and C.J. Henderson, and I think with the signing of Dante Fowler, I think they would go C.J. Henderson, and I mean, I'm rooting for the guy. I mean, I hope he comes in there and locks down that number one corner spot, put him on an island and see what he can do. They've had success with Brian Poole in the past. I mean, he was a slot corner, but I mean, C.J. Henderson, he could very well be that number one guy and the Falcons, they need a corner bad. They really do. I think that they've got to get a corner. Man, we've got Tom Brady in the division now with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. You need secondary help so bad. Yeah, and Teddy and Drew also. Exactly. You have Michael Thomas in the league. You have Mike Evans, I mean, D.J. Moore. You got to have someone to cover those guys in. I don't even know who their number one option would be right now if they didn't draft a corner. So, and it's funny you said that because I actually had, I had the Patriots moving up. I had the Patriots moving up. And I mean, I've been reading reports. I know the Patriots are in love with Jordan Love, apparently. And it could just be because his last name is Love. And I think they, with Tom Brady departing, I think Bill Belichick is wanting to win so badly. And I think Jordan Love gives them that best option if they don't move up before then. Okay, interesting. Interesting. All right, the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry World can't stand them, don't like them. Dez did not catch the ball. He caught it. He did not. He definitely got it. And I wish the Packers would sign Dez Bryant really badly. Dez, if you see this message, he's a time to football subscriber. Oh, nice. So Dez, you caught it. Dez, we need you in Green Bay. So I think Cowboys, they need someone that can get after the quarterback. And I think probably the best guy, I mean, Ken Law's still on the board. Ken Law's still on the board. Yes, he still is. I would probably take him, but I felt confident with this pick. I have them going Claiborne Chasen from LSU. And I don't love Claiborne. I think he has a build similar to Leonard Floyd, and which is just kind of, I don't think he's strong enough. That's a good comparison. I also don't think he's had enough time on the field. I don't think he's played enough at LSU to really get a good read on him. I guess their hope is for him to be that 10 sat guy, 10 plus. So they have to get someone, and J-Von is available, Ken Law's available. But I don't think he's gonna get after the quarterback necessarily as much as Claiborne would. So I mean, Ken Law's great defensive stopper, so I don't see him falling this far, but I think Cowboys go Claiborne. What's funny is finally after this F'd up mock draft, where we just go back and forth between screwing it up picks and screwing it up because we're not on the same page. Finally, we have landed a pick where we both agree. Oh really? Yes, he was chosen on my mock draft. Cowboys going at number 17 because they lost Robert Quinn. So you need some help opposite of Demarcus Lawrence, and Demarcus Lawrence also with contract disputes and everything like that is a question mark for the future. So they needed to select the best edge rusher at that point at the feel like that he's the next best option for them. The Dolphins, they have this number 18 pick from Pittsburgh. I had McKinney go into the Dolphins, but at this point, if the best player available on this board is a guy that maybe we forgot about in the last few picks, but he's still up there, Mackay Bekton. Wow. If he's available at number 18, they're gonna do backflips in that war room because the Dolphins need some offensive line help. You draft your quarterback of the future into a tug-of-a-loa. You draft Mackay Bekton to be an offensive tackle to block for him. That's a win-win at that point. And on top of that, they have another first round pick later in the draft. Right, and especially with them signing Jordan Howard, who I know you love, and who I end up picking every year in fantasy, and teams just don't give them the ball for whatever reason, I think tackle would be great. And if Bekton was there, I would probably say that he can probably do a backflip himself. He probably could, yeah. I think that'd be really, especially with two of his health scares, I think giving them a premier left tackle is golden. It's huge. Yeah, I mean, I had them go on Deandre Swift, I absolutely love George Boy. Tua likes to do check-down. So I think Deandre Swift would be an option there. I don't think Jordan Howard's the one you want coming out of the backfield on third down. But I love the offensive tackle. I love Bekton there. I think that's a good pick. You think check-downs are either to running backs or the tight ends? Tight ends, like Mike Gasecki. As Son has said, Mike Gasecki is the Tony Gonzalez of this era and I think he had maybe like 10 catches prior to last year and he finally broke through midway. It was 22 catches in his rookie season and then he had a good second half this season. He's finally on people's radar. He's freaking, he's better than any Titan in that class, better than Hayden Hurst, better than Dallas Goddard, Mike Gasecki, watch out for him in 2020. Number 19, Las Vegas Raiders. Still doesn't seem right. Doesn't. It doesn't roll off the tongue. You cannot take the Raiders out of Oakland. Raiders need to stay in Oakland and the Chargers need to go back to San Diego. That's just how it is. Wow, J-Von Kimball is still on the board. They need help at corner. But I cannot sit here and consider myself an honest man if J-Von Kimball is falling into the 20s. So the Raiders, the Las Vegas Raiders will be selecting J-Von Kimball at number 19. Good pick. He single-handedly upset Georgia last year by himself. I don't think I've seen a more dominant performance all of last year than J-Von Kimball in that game against the Georgia Bulldogs. Just, they kept trying to run it at him and he blew it up every single play and Georgia offensive line, like we said. I mean, they're like a great wall of China. I mean, they're just massive men and he absolutely dominated every single one of them. Like you said, Ken Law, he's available. You take the best player that you need at that point and they could use the interior help. So I like that pick a lot. At number 20, the Jaguars have this pick from the Rams, when the whole J-Lin Ramsey trade. If they need cornerback help, they've already, earlier according to our mock draft, let me see, who do we select at number nine? Isaiah Simmons, yeah, that's who we got. At linebacker, they're gonna continue voting on that defense. If they need cornerback help after they lost A.J. Bouillet to Denver Broncos and after J-Lin Ramsey got traded to the Rams, they're gonna replace that with the next best available corner. And I feel like it's Trevon Diggs at that point from Alabama. He's just a stud, he could be a lockdown corner. Obviously not as good as someone like Jeff Acuta, but there's a big gap, I feel like, in corner at that point as Acuta and then maybe everybody else, but he's still a first round talent, I feel like. So Trevon Diggs, the brother first to Von Diggs, he's gonna be the next member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. What I like about Trevon, I think he has a ton of upside, a ton of potential. He went into Alabama as a wide receiver and switched to corner and not a lot of people can do that. I know Georgia tried that with Michael Hardman, came in as a receiver. They tried him there at corner, his freshman year and what a mistake that was. I mean, you see him, what he's doing with the Kansas City Chiefs, breaking off a 60-yard touchdown almost every game. So I think Trevon Diggs is a great pig, a ton of upside and can hopefully be that replacement for AJ Buye. Alrighty, number 21, since Hussain decided to trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I think Tampa Bay goes off into tackle. I know we've talked about that, Tom Brady needs help there and someone who is climbing the boards of recent who I never really saw much tape on him out of the 100,000 hours I watched. Yeah, we legitimately watched 100,000 hours. It's true, we didn't read anything online. It's from watching film. I have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selecting Ezra Cleveland. Ooh! He is climbing up the boards fast, off into tackle at a Boise State. I don't know much about him, all I know is he's climbing up the boards and I think he's probably the best available tackle I mean, there's a couple other guys there. You got Josh Jones from Houston. That was my pick. So I mean, I think they kind of, you choose between the two or even Austin Jackson from USC. Bunch of tackles there. So I think you got to grab one and I think they go Ezra Cleveland. I like that pick. I like it a lot. Like I said, I haven't heard a lot about him but there's always that one player and mock drafts or an NFL drafts in general that teams will overreach for. But I don't want to say overreach as in like I'm discrediting Ezra Cleveland and the talent that he has, but like compared to other draft boards out there for other teams, he may not be the best offensive tackle available. Like I said, Josh Jones was my pick after they had that trade with the Eagles. But yeah, I agree. Offensive line is the help that they need. So the Minnesota Vikings at number 22, I have them picking AJ Eponessa, the edge rusher from Iowa. They need some edge help to replace Everson Griffin, who is still available for agent and he's talked about returning to the Minnesota Vikings for less money. But I think at this point, he's a little bit of a steal. He's a little slow. His 40 yard dash time wasn't that good. But he has a mid-round projection as far as talent goes. And I feel like if he drops to number 22, that'd be a good pick for the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, I think AJ, he's a little slow off the line, but he is so good at using his hands. And I think AJ down at 22 is a pretty good pick. There's not a lot of edge rushers in this class, but I think AJ's probably top three, top four in this class and every team needs someone that can get after quarterback. No team will ever have enough of those guys. Here's the pick we've all been waiting for. Number 23, the New England Patriots. The New England Patriots, and I absolutely love this because I had them trading up for Jordan Love and Jordan Love is still on the board on our mock draft. And I think it'll give some competition to Jared Stidham. I think they're both kind of similar honestly. Stidham and Love, both kind of big guys who can throw the ball. Some accuracy issues, obviously decision-making, but like I said before, when you have the best coach in the league, you can overcome those factors. And Jordan Love is, I think that Jordan Love will be picked by the New England Patriots in this draft. I don't know exactly where it will happen, but I think they end up with Jordan Love. I think it's either them or the Packers with Jordan Love. I actually had the Patriots trading back with the Kansas City Chiefs. So the Chiefs trade up to number 23 and they're gonna draft Jonathan Taylor running back from Wisconsin. Oh, wow. I had them going to the Chiefs, him going in there, so. I love it. Yeah, they need a running back to battle with Damian Williams at that point for the starting running back position. But I mean, if the Patriots stay at number 23, you know, then they stay at number 23. So, which by the way, if the Patriots go to number 32, did you have to quarterback? I had them picking Jalen Hertz. Well, because I just go back to it, it doesn't matter about your talent or how far you can throw the ball, it's about your accuracy and decision-making. And Jalen Hertz averaged like 70% completed passes in the last two years and didn't throw that many interceptions at all. There's also another guy similar that fits that mold, Jake Frum, that they could draft later in the second round or maybe even the third round if he's available, but. Very similar to Tom Brady, Jake Frum. Yeah. Very, very comparable guys, great leaders, not the greatest arm talent, but great decision-making. And that's where I have the problem with Jalen Hertz. He doesn't have the vision downfield. And you could see that when he would play against decent defenses, he couldn't, you look at his completion percent overall, yes, it might be good. But that was his knock at Alabama. He was not an accurate quarterback. And you could tell when he played Georgia, when he played LSU, like his accuracy wasn't there against those good defenses. And it's really the vision of the field. I think he's very intelligent. I think he's very smart. He knows offense as well. He knows where people are supposed to be placed, everything, but I don't think he can read defenses yet. I think that's his one knock. And I think that'll be his Ikely seal. Yeah, we will see what the Patriots decide to do at the number 23 pick, if they decide to trade up, trade down, whatever it is. At number 24, the New Orleans Saints. This is kind of a good pick for them that they got. They want to bolster that defense that's already pretty good as it is. But Kenneth Murray, linebacker from Oklahoma, that's the pick that I've got the Saints going. They need a, I don't want to say they necessarily need a linebacker, but it wouldn't hurt. You've got DiMario Davis, you've got Kiko Alonzo, but if you add in Kenneth Murray and that linebacking core, that's a good group right there. What I would do if I were the Saints, and this is someone who last year as a sophomore, he was projected as like a top 10 pick. And he's falling through the cracks this year and I don't understand why. And that's Grant Delpit, safety from LSU. He is dominant and he played all, he's tough as nails. He played all last year hurt. And maybe that's why, you know, he's falling through the cracks. Maybe his numbers weren't good or maybe he looked bad on film. But as a freshman, as a sophomore, I mean he was projected to be a first round pick. And I'm not seeing many mock drafts with him even being picked. And I don't understand why he's big, he's physical, he's a ballhawk. Every team wants that safety. And I think if Delpit is there, I think the Saints go Delpit. And especially he played it in Louisiana, fan favorite. Just go ahead and put him in New Orleans and he's gonna shine. He's gonna be a Hall of Famer, if not Pro Bowler. I said that opposite, Pro Bowler, if not Hall of Fame. We will see, big words. So 25 Minnesota Vikings, they lose their corner Xavier Rhodes. I think they go corner here. They could go off into tackle, maybe Josh Jones. But someone I love, AJ Terrell. And he really got beat up for his performance in the national championship. He really didn't play that bad. The catches that those players were making over him were all phenomenal catches. They were all contested. So I think AJ Terrell, he's so athletic, super athletic, quick hips, he's quick. And I think AJ Terrell, I think he could sneak up in this first round and really be an asset to one of these teams. And I think the Vikings would love it for him to be there. Yeah, I agree. That's a good pick. Corner is a big need in that division for sure. After you lose Xavier Rhodes. After the year that Xavier Rhodes had, people were saying, oh, he fell off. And we have to find out for sure this year what happened to him if he's still a good corner. I'm kind of in the same boat as you where it's like, well, a lot of factors go into it, but it didn't look like he was as good as it used to be. So AJ Terrell, it's a good replacement for him. After this trade that they got from Houston last year, with a 26 pick, I have the Miami Dolphin selecting DeAndre Swift running back from Georgia. And it's back and forth between him and Jonathan Taylor. I feel like Jonathan Taylor had a little bit more success in college, but I feel like DeAndre Swift, it just makes a lot of sense, just the size that he has, talent ability. If you have your new quarterback with the number five pick, you have an offensive lineman that gets pretty much given to you in Mackay Bekton at number 18. And then you got a running back that can run behind that offensive lineman, pair him up with Jordan Howard. That offense is looking good. I think the difference here between DeAndre Swift and Jonathan Taylor is Jonathan Taylor is pretty beaten up. I mean, in Wisconsin, you're running, if you're the premier running back, you're running 20 to 30 times a game. Exactly. With DeAndre Swift, you have three bell cow running backs there with Georgia every year. And so I think he has less tear on his body. He's probably better out of the passing game than Jonathan Taylor, even though Jonathan Taylor really improved last year in his passing game. But I think DeAndre Swift, he's less beat up, he can cut. And I mean, have you guys seen the video against Kentucky? Like, you just shred that defense. Oh, I watched that game live, yeah. I mean, it's just unreal, his cutting ability. It's something special. And I really hope that he becomes the best running back in the league. So number 27, Seattle Seahawks. I'm gonna hit you with the stat that was mind blowing when I found it. Go for it. The Seattle Seahawks have traded their first round pick the last eight seasons, the last eight. Wait, they traded out of the first round? They've moved in the first round. They've moved, okay, gotcha. Yeah, so their original pick, they've traded eight times, whether that's moving down in the draft or moving up, which I thought was unbelievable. But I think this is the year that that breaks. Okay. And I'm so excited about this pick. I'm so excited about this pick, because I think he's one of the most underrated players in this class. And his name is Zach Bonn from the University of Wisconsin. Wow. He is, you know, Seattle, they're probably gonna lose out on Clowney. I know he hasn't decided yet. It's between them and Tennessee. So they need help bad at the edge position. And if anyone watched any of the Wisconsin games, this dude is everywhere. He's good in the run game. He can get after the quarterback, super intelligent player, very high IQ. He reminds me of TJ Watt. And I think teams thought, because TJ Watt originally went to Wisconsin as a tight end. And I think people thought TJ Watt didn't have enough experience and they didn't think he could pan out in the NFL against NFL tackles. He's proved them wrong. He's one of the best rushers in the league. And Zach Bonn, he's kind of similar. He really wasn't on the scene until his late years in Wisconsin. And I absolutely love him. And I think he's, someone's gonna get a steal in him, whether that's late first round or second round. Shoot, maybe even third round. But I think Zach Bonn is one of the best pass rushers in this draft class. At number 28, I'm gonna go with Patrick Queen, linebacker, LSU. I don't know. I think it's exactly who I had. Patrick Queen, Ravens. We're on the same cycle. So, Patrick Queen from LSU, they're thin at linebacker as it is. Besides Matthew Jude on, of course, they re-signed. But I feel like this is gonna be a good pick for the Ravens. They're really good at picking defensive pieces. They traded for Cleis Campbell to help their interior line. Now they gotta look at the second tier and just keep on working on that front seven. So I feel like Patrick Queen, the next best available linebacker at that point, is gonna be a Baltimore Raven. Yeah, and I think if there's a receiver that falls to them, I don't think there will be. I mean, there's still good receivers on the board. I mean, you look at the kid from Arizona State, Brandon, I don't know how to pronounce his last name. Ayuk. Ayuk, yeah, that sounds right. Or you have, what's his face from USC? You have Michael Pittman, Jaylen Rigor. I mean, there's still some cats on the board that you can go at receiver, but I don't know if they're first round. Number 29, Tennessee Titans. I really struggled with this one. I didn't know exactly who to go for them. And I think if they don't get clowny, they have to go Gross Matos from Penn State. If he's still there, I think that's a good pick for them. It's a good pick, yeah. I like that pick a lot. With him following to 29, that's pretty much a no-brainer at that point. I originally had them getting Ross Blacklock, defensive lineman from TCU. You know, pair him up with Simmons on that line. But also another option I was thinking about, Cole Comet, the Titan from Notre Dame, yeah. You know, I could say that the Packers on number 30 are gonna take Cole Comet. I'm gonna choose Levisca Chanel from Colorado. Okay, so before this draft, we were talking about Devin Funches. And you felt like he was a very underrated signing. And I think he is. And I think he'd be a number two and compliment for Devonte Adams. But I think a guy that can develop over the years and just get better and better and better Chanel from Colorado is a good pick. So I think the Packers are gonna stay put at number 30. They're gonna pick Levisca Chanel. But you'd think Jalen Rieger, but we both agree that wide receiver is a need. Right, yeah. And I would love it if they got Chanel there at 30. I watched a couple of Colorado games this past year. And man, you can just tell he's different on the field. He's just, it's crazy to think that there's more athletic guys than those guys that are playing division one football. But he was faster than everyone. He was bigger than everyone. He's, I mean, the one thing I didn't see much of was just like him high point the football. But I mean, you have Devonte Adams who's gonna get 15 touchdowns. So you need someone on the opposite end and you need someone in the slot. So I think they either go Rieger or Chanel. I would be happy with either one of those. The 49ers, who did we have them taken before we had them taken? We had a receiver, right? Yeah, Henry Ruggs. Henry Ruggs, oh boy. So they probably go away from receiver and like you said, they need corner help. So I think they go next best available at corner. And I think that guy is Jaylin Johnson from Utah. I think that would be, you either have Jaylin Johnson or you have the guy from TCU as well. Christian. Jeff Gladney. Okay, Jeff Gladney, yeah. Yeah, so I think they have to go corner and it's one of those two guys who can probably see the field and hopefully get in on that first team defense. I'm surprised that you said Jaylin Johnson over Christian Fulton from LSU is also an option as well. Jeff Gladney, like you mentioned. Actually, and a lot of, I did a lot of research. Obviously I watched like hundreds and thousands of hours of, and I did not really like mock drafts, but I was like curious, you know? I was like, who were the top 10 available at each position? So when I did that research and I looked at the best defensive backs, Jaylin Johnson was not in the top 10 as it was on CBS at least. So I don't know. He watches CBS other than Survivor. Hey, I mean, they got some, they got a dope football theme, like an intro theme. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. What CBS has going for them is their announcers. That's true. I love Romo. But yes, Jaylin Johnson. You're big on him. Yeah, I like Jaylin Johnson from Utah. My problem with Christian Fulton, he had Derek Stingley on the other side who's the best cornerback in the nation. He'll be top three pick in two years. If not the top pick, he's the best corner since Patrick Peterson in my opinion. So I just, I have questions with Christian Fulton. I'm not convinced. The final pick. Originally, I had the Chiefs trading up from 32 to 23, Chiefs selecting Jonathan Taylor, and then the Patriots at number 32 selecting quarterback in Jaylin Hertz. But the Chiefs are staying put at number 32 and that man, Jonathan Taylor, is still on that board. They're picking Jonathan Taylor from Wisconsin. So you could probably attest to how good Jonathan Taylor is just because you're a big Wisconsin fan. But you did mention earlier about the beating that he took because he was productive in college, but with that came a lot of carries. But I feel like the Chiefs, Damian Williams is not the answer. And Damian Williams excels best if he has another running back to feed off of. Not saying that he's not talented, but I'm just saying that he's not a workhorse back. So if you throw in Jonathan Taylor in there with Damian Williams and you give Jonathan Taylor that rest that he needs because of the workload that he had in college, I feel like this would be a good pick, the second best or the second running back taken in this first round. Some people would say he's the best running back. Jonathan Taylor is gonna be the next Kansas City Chief. I love Jonathan Taylor, but I just don't think he fits the Kansas City offense. I think someone who would kind of benefit from that offense would probably be either J.K. Dobbins or Clyde Edwards-Hallaire. Clyde kind of reminds me a little bit of Karim Hunt a little bit, very versatile guy, can catch the ball at the backfield. So I think if Clyde Edwards-Hallaire is there, or maybe they even move back and take him early in the second round, I think they do that. I think Jonathan Taylor kind of fits more of like a Baltimore Ravens kind of style offense. And I mean, he does have a beating, but I mean that guy is so good. Everyone had questions regarding his top end speed. I think he's proven that. I mean, he ran track for Wisconsin and no one's just gonna go run track, division one and compete and do well. And I think, I mean, that really helped him with his long distance speed. And if you've watched his film, he outruns everyone. So I hate that question of he doesn't have that top end speed. He has the vision, he has the power, he has the cutting ability, his vision is unreal. And of course, you know, he does have a very good line at Wisconsin, but not many people get 2,000 yards every single year of their career in college. And he's gonna go down as probably top five running back in history of college football as of today. Very good running back. So to wrap this up, I mean, I'll just give like a couple of players or a few players that I feel like were maybe snubbed in the first round. You mentioned Jacob Dobbins is one. Cole Comet has the possibility of going in the first round, the tie-in. Josh Jones, an offensive lineman. We've got the edge, or not edge rusher, defensive lineman, Ross Blacklock from TCU. I had him in the first round. And then also Xavier McKinney of the safety. We talked about him a lot and then Christian Fulton, which you have your concerns about, but then Grant Delpit from LSU as well. Who are like a few players that you feel like are snubbed in this first round mock draft? In the first round, I would definitely say Xavier McKinney, Grant Delpit, those are both starting safeties, both ballhawks, and I think they're top tier safeties. So those two, we mentioned the running backs. Josh Jones is interesting, Houston, offensive tackle. I think maybe his competition in Houston maybe is keeping him from that first round, but he very well could go in first round. I don't doubt it, I wouldn't be surprised. There's someone I like. He's not a first round talent. Mock drafts I've seen are like late four. But defensive end from Florida is Jabari Zuniga. And he is just a freak, man. He's huge, massive guy, so strong. And when he's healthy, he's getting after the quarterback. So I think if teams looking for a pass rush, they can get him pretty late, but I wouldn't be surprised if some teams take him late second, early third. If I'm Miami or the Raiders, I'm calling and I'm asking about Deshaun Watson. Wow. I'm asking about Deshaun Watson. And I think that the Texans would be open to it. I think the Texans could look at next year's draft. I mean, Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence, maybe they're like, okay, I mean, we can get some assets here and move Deshaun on, which would be wild. And I don't think it will happen because Deshaun is the man, but DeAndre Hopkins was the man. And I don't see how you trade Hopkins. So I think anything's possible there. That's crazy. This is great. It was awesome. This was wonderful. I'm sure for being on. Yeah, man, thanks for having me. It's nice to talk some sports when there are no sports going on. And I'm glad we got the draft coming up to look forward to. And seriously, thank you for having me on. I love talking sports. I love talking football. And this has been great. And it'll be interesting to see how our draft lines up to the actual draft. Maybe we'll get three, right? Maybe we'll get 10, 15, right? We'll see, man. I mean, last year I didn't mock draft. I think I got like four, three or four, which is, I mean, Impressive. Impressive. It's out of 32. I mean, that's whatever. By the way, we're keeping six feet apart. The camera may not show up, but this is six feet. Yeah, you can tell. Yeah. Oh wow, I can't even reach him. I'm a little shorter, so. Yeah, I can't even reach him.
