But today's episode, like I said, final mock draft, let's go ahead and get started. I'm going to go pick by pick with each team. Just a couple of things to note before we get started. One, this isn't going to be 100% accurate. I think all mock drafts out there, that analysts and scouts and all of them come out with only 5 to 10 end up being correct. So just keep that in mind. Just giving you a heads up. This is just what I think each general manager is going to do depending on who's still available on the board. We've also got trades available as well that we've mocked. And I think there's four to five trades that we project in the first round, which we're going to be talking to with you guys about that. And the second thing is just interact with us. I love interacting with the guys. I love hearing what you guys are saying about your favorite team. So make sure you guys leave your comments and leave your thoughts and your opinions on your favorite team. And do you think that this will happen in the NFL draft? Let's go ahead and get started with pick number one is the Jacksonville Jaguar. So we've sent in a previous mock draft. It's between Trayvon Walker and Aiden Hutchinson at this point on who's going to be number one. I still believe that it's going to be Aiden Hutchinson that is going to be drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguar. So the reason being is because early on, probably around January, Aiden Hutchinson was being talked about being the number one player in this draft. However, Evan Neal slipped into the conversation because it's like, okay, well, the Jaguars needed an offensive tackle. So it's between Aiden Hutchinson, Evan Neal. Evan Neal eventually just phased out. He fizzled out. So it was just Hutchinson. Well, then Trayvon Walker climbs up draft boards and people are talking about, oh, maybe it's Walker. This could be the number one pick. With Evan Neal being phased out, Hutchinson has been the one constant that is revolving around the number one pick. I still think that's going to be true. And I think that Trayvon Walker is going to miss out on that number one spot. It's going to be Aiden Hutchinson from Michigan being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Number two, well, if one person is not number one, then you would expect them to be number two at that point. So Trayvon Walker, I expect to be drafted by the Detroit Lions. This isn't the biggest need in the world for the Detroit Lions. I mean, they've got some holes to fill as far as linebacker and corner, offensive line. But Trayvon Walker is just being talked about being a number one draft prospect. So or number one pick overall. So if he doesn't get taken by the Jacksonville Jaguars, I would assume that the Detroit Lions would take the second best player that's available in the draft and that would be Trayvon Walker. So I've got Walker being drafted by the Detroit Lions at number two. Now moving on to number three. OK, in my previous mock draft that we came out with last week, I said that Kyle Hamilton was going to get drafted by the Houston Texans. Now that has changed because of the pro day that he had because of the 40-yard dash not being as great as people thought it was going to be. And that caused him to fall a little bit in draft boards. I'm going to say the Houston Texans pass up on him and they draft the best available offensive tackle. Who is it going to be? Is it going to be Iki Ikuanu or Evan Neal? Well, my rankings here, it's based off of not my opinion. I don't know anything about college football. I don't do the research on like watching the film and anything like that. What I do is I look at what Scouts are saying from different websites, different platforms, and I come up with a consensus ranking sheet based off of what the majority is saying. And it's so close between Evan Neal and Iki Ikuanu. But just by a sliver, Evan Neal is ranked as the highest offensive tackle, so I believe that the Houston Texans are going to take the best offensive tackle, which is going to be Evan Neal. This is actually wonderful for the Texans because they get their offensive line help early on and then at pick 13, it's all about OK, taking who's the next best available player because the Texans, they have a lot of holes to fill on a lot of a lot of sides of the ball. So the Texans fix their offensive line. They're all in on Davis Mills. Get them that help. Number three, Evan Neal, big number four, the New York Jets. So for the last couple of weeks, I've been saying it's a mod gardener. I'm going to stick with that. So Mach 1.0, a mod gardener, Mach 2.0, a mod gardener, 3.0, a mod gardener. And the reasoning behind this is if you didn't watch our previous mock drafts, it's because the Giants pick number five and number seven. The two teams that have high interest, according to rumors out there, the New York Jets and the New York Giants. And the Jets specifically, they want to grab a mod gardener before the Giants grab them, because if they don't grab them at number four, he's not going to be around at number 10 because the Giants love them so much. So grab them at number four. And then another guy that the Jets are interested in is Jermaine Johnson. So I believe that the two picks that the Jets are going to try to strive for are a mod gardener with the number four pick. And then hopefully with the number 10 pick, if Jermaine Johnson is still around, the New York Jets grab Johnson. So number four, a mod gardener. Number five, the New York Giants. Oh, man, we just missed out on a mod gardener. What are we doing at this point? Well, we've got some polls to fill. Evan Neal has been taken. Why not just take the next best available offensive lineman, which is Iki Ikuwanu. And listen, if the Texans take Ikuwanu, then the Giants take Evan Neal. So I think the Giants just take one of those two guys between Neal and Ikuwanu here at number five, so the Giants fix their offensive line. And at number five, they pick offensive tackle. And this is probably true of the Carolina Panthers as well, who picked number six, who are rumored to be talking about taking an offensive tackle. So you don't want to wait on offensive tackle at number five or wait till number seven because the Panthers might grab Ikuwanu at that point. But speaking of number six, we've got the Carolina Panthers. This is an interesting one. So in last week's mock draft, I think it was Iki Ikuwanu that was drafted in my mock draft. Well, the Carolina Panthers, I think if Ikuwanu is still there, I think that they go with Ikuwanu here at number six. But there's been rumors out there in the last couple of weeks, according to reports that the Panthers are interested in trading down to acquire more picks. The reason being is because the Carolina Panthers do not have any picks in the second and in the third round. So it's a first rounder and then a fourth rounder is your next pick. So they want to trade down. They want to acquire more picks in a player that is falling on the draft board. Kavon Tibido and some teams are high on them. Some teams are not. So if the Panthers want to trade down, a team that wants to trade up to try to get Kavon Tibido, the Baltimore Ravens. We talked about this trade in last week's mock draft, but I said that it was with the New York Giants at number seven. I'm going to say with the news coming out that the Carolina Panthers want to trade down, acquire more picks. The Ravens trade up to number six and draft Kavon Tibido. What does this trade look like for both teams? For the Panthers, they acquire picks. They trade down the Ravens to move up. I hate to say it, Baltimore fans, but to move up eight spots in the first round, especially inside of the top 10, it's going to cost you a first round pick for next year. And I think that the Ravens are OK with that. So it might cost the number 14 spot here, a first round pick for next year. And then you can throw in a third round pick if you want, because you have two third round picks, a realistic compensation that could happen. The 14 spot first round next year and the third round pick to move on up to the number six spot and grab Kavon Tibido. If you're a Ravens fan, leave your comments down below. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I know that last week we mocked that trade for the Ravens and everybody loved it. Yeah. So if you're a Panthers fan as well, like let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear your opinion here at number seven. The New York Giants, the biggest need for them. There's rumors out there saying that with the two picks that the Giants have between number five and number seven, they would love to go offensive tackle and cornerback with those two picks. Missed out on a Mod Gardner. The Jets grabbed him. Crap. Well, who's the next best available cornerback? Derek Stingley. Yeah, I wouldn't be a bad pick. I Stingley, I think is a good player. But the Giants are like, oh, who's this guy? Kyle Hamilton, that is falling. Why is he falling? Oh, because his 40-yard dash was not that good. Well, I mean, he's regarded as one of the better players in this draft. We need corner over safety, but let's just go ahead and take Kyle Hamilton. I think if we pair him up with maybe Xavier McKinney, we should be fine. So I think that the Giants draft Kyle Hamilton here just because he's falling. I don't think that Kyle Hamilton is going to fall outside of the top 10. I know some people have him going to like the commanders or maybe even the Minnesota Vikings at number 12. I highly doubt that's going to happen. I think Kyle Hamilton is too good of a talent to fall outside of the top 10. And I think the New York Giants are aware of that. They're going to grab Kyle Hamilton with the number seven pick. So with the two picks for the New York Giants, it is Iki Ikuanu and Kyle Hamilton. Help your offense, help your defense. I think that's a pretty good draft for the New York Giants in the first round. The next pick, we've got the number eight pick with the Atlanta Falcons. Here's an interesting thing about the Falcons. There's two players that I could imagine them getting here with the number eight pick. One is Jermaine Johnson, who they highly value. I think the Falcons and the Jets are the two teams that value Jermaine Johnson the most. Another player is Garrett Wilson, a wide receiver. You need help on both spots, Edge Rush and Wide Receiver. I think that the Jets are aware that the Falcons are interested in Jermaine Johnson and I think that general manager of the Jets, Joe Douglas. Hello. I don't know how Earth or blank sounds. Hey, this is Joe Douglas. I don't know how Joe Douglas sounds. Would you be interested in trading down a couple of spots? We'll give you a second round pick. And I believe that's going to happen. I believe that the Jets are going to move from number 10 up to number eight with the Atlanta Falcons to move up two spots so that not only they prevent the Falcons from drafting Jermaine Johnson by sugarcoating them with a second round pick, but also jumping the Seattle Seahawks and making sure that they don't get Jermaine Johnson. So the Jets, they trade their number 10 pick and their sixth pick in the second round to move up two spots with the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons, they take that. They're like, all right, yeah, like we need help in a lot of different areas. I know that Joe Douglas loves Jermaine Johnson a whole lot. He's willing to trade a second round pick. So if we just go down two spots, we get an additional second round pick, which we already have two second round picks to begin with so that we have three second round picks done deal. Hang up the phone. The Jets move up and they grab Jermaine Johnson with that eighth pick. So with the two picks for the New York Jets, they get their dream guys. They get a Maud Garner, who they really love, and they get Jermaine Johnson, who they really love as well. Good trade for both. I think it's a win-win. I will do. Leave your comments down below. If you're a fan of either one of those teams, I'd love to hear your opinion on the Jets moving up with the Atlanta Falcons. Now at number nine, we've got the Seattle Seahawks. All right, they missed out on Cave on Tibido, which the Ravens moved up. They needed an edge rusher. They missed out on Jermaine Johnson as well. There's two players that could see them getting here with a number nine pick, one being Derek Stingley and then another player being Charles Cross or whoever the best offensive tackle is at this point. I'm going to say Charles Cross is getting drafted here by the Seattle Seahawks and Cross could be a huge asset for that Seattle Seahawks offensive line. Pete Carroll, we mentioned this before, has talked a whole lot of game about Drew Locke. I don't know if he's going to be the weak one starter. Could be, could be not. But he's been talking a lot about Drew Locke. How, yes, we do believe that he could still be a very good player in the NFL. And if, you know, you want to wait till the second round or whenever, did you have to quarterback? Sure. For now, if, you know, the worst case scenario, if you can't grab the quarterback of your future, grab an offensive lineman of your future. And that is Charles Cross here at number nine. Now at number 10, we had the Falcons trading down with the New York Jets. Again, we mentioned that they get an additional second round pick out of that. And I believe that the Falcons are treating this pick as best case scenario, like who, or who's the best player available at this point? You could go, well, many people's draft boards might be Derek Stingley, but you already signed Keesey Hayward. You have AJ Turrell. I don't think corner is that big of a need. Might be your strongest position on that team. So I think that the Falcons here go in the direction of adding weapons for their offense, and that is Garrett Wilson. You could also talk about maybe Malik Willis, who's linked to Atlanta. He's an Atlanta boy as well, grew up in Roswell, Georgia. He could say that he could be the next Falcons franchise quarterback here with a number 10 pick. However, when they traded Matt Ryan, they immediately signed Marcus Moria within a matter of 45 minutes. And I think it's because they had an idea in their mind. They said, OK, we're willing to get rid of Matt Ryan because this guy, who not a lot of people are looking at, is still available on the free agent market. We're going to sign him as soon as we give him up. So I think they're OK with rolling with Marcus Moria, Mariota, if you can't grab a quarterback later on in the draft. I think they're OK rolling with them. So just give them some offensive help. You don't know the future of Calvin Ridley as well. And then with the second round picks as well, you have three of them with this trade with the New York Jets. One of the guys that you're interested in is Isaiah Spiller. If you need a running back, Falcons are rumored to be interested in him. They're interested in Desmond Ritter as well. They're interested and maybe Matt Corral falls at the top of the second. Who knows? So I think the Falcons can address the quarterback position later on in the second round. For now, get your weapon, get Garrett Wilson, help out that offense. Now, pick 11, the Washington Commanders. I've thought about different scenarios here. I know that Derek Stingley is another guy that could be drafted by the commanders. I don't think that they go in the direction of corner. I think they desperately need wide receiver with all the drama going on. I'm going to explain that in a bit. But let me just go ahead and say that the commanders are drafting the second best wide receiver in this class according to the scouts. And that is Drake London. Drake, a big guy, hard to bring down, kind of reminds me of either a tight end and an open space or maybe a Mike Williams kind of guy where he's just like a tall, big receiver. And if he's on one-on-one coverage, I most of the most of the time he can win that battle. So the explanation behind them getting a receiver here is with all the news going on with Debo Samuel and Devonte Adams and Stefan Diggs, Tyree Kale, like all these big receivers, like in their contract situation, A.J. Brown as well scrubbed the Tennessee Titans from the social media. Like all this news that's going on, I think that they want to lock in their wide receiver because the news with Terry McLaurin surrounding him is does he deserve a big contract for the Washington Commanders? He could be doing the same thing as all of these other guys where he just scrubs the Commanders from the social media, which isn't hard to do because they've only been around for like, what? Three or four months. Scrubbed the Washington football team, this whole franchise, off of his social media, demand a trade, demand to hold out until he gets signed long term, whatever it may be. I don't think that they want to take any risk with that. So if crap hits the fan, if everything goes south, they at least have their franchise wide receiver in Drake London. And if Terry McLaurin resigns with the Commanders, then you have two great wide receivers for Carson Wentz. So that's the explanation behind the Commanders picking Drake London. Now, number 12 is an interesting spot because the rumors, just to let you guys know, is that the Minnesota Vikings are interested in trading down. They are listening to offers right now. One team that is very interested in trading up, the LA Chargers. The Vikings and the Chargers have had talks about switching from 12 to 17. At number 12, the Minnesota Vikings may look at the draft board and if this draft falls into place like it has right now, Derek Stingley is still available on that board. One of the weak points for the Minnesota Vikings last season was the secondary. Derek Stingley, I believe it is going to get drafted by the Minnesota Vikings here. I believe that they stay put. I know that they want to trade down. I know that's a rumor. I know that they're tempted. But I think with a good corner like Derek Stingley still available, you've got to take Stingley. And I know that they value Trent McDuffie as well. This is a little bit of knowledge for you. The Minnesota Vikings value Trent McDuffie, the second best corner in this class, just as much as Derek Stingley. But there's no guarantee that if you trade down from 12 to 17, that he's going to be around. Because you look at the teams that are going to be taken or drafting ahead of them, if they dropped to number 17, you've got the New Orleans Saints. You've got the Philadelphia Eagles. The Houston Texans as well, they could very much take, you know, these teams could take two corners back to back. It could be Derek Stingley and Trent McDuffie. So you never know. So I think the Minnesota Vikings plate safe here. I think that they go in the direction of Derek Stingley with the number 12 pick. Now with the number 13 pick, I kind of went back and forth on this, to be honest with you. I did not know whether to take Jordan Davis or Trent McDuffie with the 13th pick. I think that they consider Jordan Davis. I really do. But there's some really good defensive tackles out there that they could draft at the top of the second. And that could be DeMarvin Leal who else is out there. Travis Jones maybe might fall into the second round. Logan Hall. So there are some pretty good guys out there that you could draft in the top of the second. But I do think that the first two picks, or this pick and then the next pick in the second round for the Houston Texans is going to be cornerback and defensive tackle. And I do think that they go in the direction of Trent McDuffie here because he's his second best available cornerback. They want to lock in their guy of the future. They're hopeful, man to man guy. And then they can address the defensive tackle position later on in the draft. So like I said, the Houston Texas team needs a lot of help in a lot of different areas. But I think Trent McDuffie is a start for this defense. But to recap the first round for the Houston Texans at this point, you've got Evan Neal on the offensive line for the number three pick and then Trent McDuffie on the defense and the secondary with the number 13 pick. If you're a Texans fan, what are your thoughts? Do you think that's a pretty good first round for the Texans? Number 14, this is a very interesting one because we had the Baltimore Ravens trading up and trading their future first rounder to move on up to the number six spot to get Kavon Tibido. The Panthers fall down here to number 14. I do think that the Panthers are also tempted again to trade down because they get an additional third round pick is what we mocked from the Baltimore Ravens, but they don't have a second round pick. They would love to have a second round pick. But I think that they're going to stay put with the number 14 pick because I think that the pressure from the media is going to get to them and they're going to crack. This is going to be the first quarterback taken off the board and a consensus ranking based off of what all the scouts are saying. The majority of scouts have Kenny Pickett labeled as the best quarterback in this draft. So I believe that the Panthers draft Kenny Pickett here to be the quarterback of the future. And here's the explanation. The smartest move, smartest would be for the Panthers to draft Trevor Penning. Penning is being talked about, hey, this is a top 15 talent that could fall just barely inside of the top 20. You need offensive line. You need offensive tackle. Draft Trevor Penning. Do it. But I think with the Panthers not drafting until the third round, if this trade were to occur, even worse, the fourth round of this trade doesn't happen. And with the pressure that they've been getting from the media with all the news surrounding Robbie Anderson saying no underneath a post talking about Baker Mayfield potentially being the quarterback for the Carolina Panthers. All this pressure from Sam Darnold appearing on Bussin with the boys talking about how he's a great quarterback and he deserves to be at the starter. This, all this pressure, I think that they really want to. David Tepper is a guy that really loves his fan base and really wants to please his fan base. Hence why he was going after DeSean Watson, who's a Clemson guy, wants to bring in that hometown fan base. I think that they cave under that pressure and they draft a quarterback. And I think that that guy's got to be Kenneth Pickett. Personally, this is just me personally. I think you'd go Trevor Penning here. But again, I'm drafting in the mind of the general manager and the situation going on. So Panthers fan, Kenny Pickett, your quarterback of the future. Number 15, hey, trade alert. We've got another trade happening in this draft. So far, we've had two trades. The Jets moving up with the Falcons and the Ravens moving up with the Panthers. The Eagles, I believe, are going to move down from the number 15 spot with another team that has two first round picks. Not the Kansas City Chiefs, the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have no wide receiver help. I mean, Sammy Watkins, sure. But they want to get their guy of the future at the next best available wide receiver, according to scouts and analysts. It is Jameson Williams. So I am mocking a trade between the Packers and the Eagles. The Packers trade their 22nd and their 28th pick for the number 15 pick. The Eagles, they acquire those two picks. So the Eagles, for them, they go back to having three first round picks. For the Packers, at the end of the day, they traded Devonte Adams for Jameson Williams and a second round pick. Not a bad trade. Not a bad trade, I would say. So I think the Packers are happy moving up and getting some weapons for Aaron Rodgers to replace that void of Devonte Adams. Also, they want to jump with the Eagles because the Saints, who are at number 16, are interested in a wide receiver and they don't want them to grab the next best available wide receiver. So now you've got the Saints at number 16. Now, two positions that the Saints need to become a playoff contender, offensive tackle and wide receiver. I believe that's one of the reasons why they acquire two first round picks because they want to hit both. Wide receivers are dropping like crazy with Jameson Williams, with Drake London, Garrett Wilson, all these guys gone. And I think that the Saints, in their position, a guy that they really love on the offensive line is Tyler Smith. He could play guard, he could play tackle. They need to fill in that void for Teron Armstead. Smith could be like a late first rounder, maybe a second rounder. So I believe the Saints are okay passing up on offensive linemen with the number 16 pick because they're so interested in Tyler Smith that they could target him in the second round. But for now, you've got to make sure that you lock in a wide receiver and let's go ahead and get Chris Olave for the New Orleans Saints, wide receiver for Ohio State. And I believe that they go with wide receiver here because the Eagles are going to be picking at number 18 ahead of the Saints with the number 19 pick. So you've got to make sure that you lock in that wide receiver for sure, for good, before maybe someone else takes them and then you're in a bad spot. So Chris Olave is going to be the future franchise wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints. That's our pick for number 16. So here at number 17, I think that the Saints are aware of this. They pass up on Trevor Penning because they're so invested in Tyler Smith. And I know it was kind of a gamble for the Saints. So I could see them picking Trevor Penning at number 16. The Saints have to be like, all right, we accept the feats. Chargers, you can have them. And I believe that's exactly what the Chargers are going to be doing. They grabbed Trevor Penning. So it ended up being a good move for the Chargers not to trade up with the Minnesota Vikings because if they traded up to that number 12 spot, they would have grabbed Trevor Penning because offense tackle to replace the need or the loss of Brian Bulaga is pretty much the only thing that's keeping you from becoming potentially a Super Bowl contender because your defense is so freaking amazing that you added all these pieces in the offseason. All you need is just an offensive line to protect Justin Herbert. They get that with Trevor Penning. This is a dream come true. Many people believe that Trevor Penning is shooting up draft boards. It is not going to fall. It's out of the top 15. He does here at number 17 and they get their future franchise offensive tackle. Trevor Penning through the Chargers would make the Chargers a dangerous team. Now at number 18, the Philadelphia Eagles, the one of three first round picks. Keep that in mind because of the trade with the Green Bay Packers. They are eyeing Jordan Davis and Devonte White. You might be like, really? Like they don't necessarily need defensive tackle? Like there's other things. Like get a wide receiver. You know, there's other positions you need to address. But they are eyeing Jordan Davis and Devonte White. And those guys are going to be gone probably by the time pick number 22 comes around for the Philadelphia Eagles. So they want to go ahead and grab those guys. Many people have Wyatt over Davis. Davis over Wyatt. The majority of the Scouts. Many people are saying it's Jordan Davis by sliver. So let's just say that the Eagles are going to draft Jordan Davis to be their defensive tackle. Filling that void for maybe Fletcher Cox. I think that's one of the reasons why they want to address that position because Fletcher Cox, we don't know what his future is going to look like for the Philadelphia Eagles. Prepare for the future. Get Jordan Davis. I'm excited to watch Jordan Davis play. He's an animal. So he's going to help out that defense of the Philadelphia Eagles in the trenches. Now the New Orleans Saints again at number 19. This is interesting. You missed out on offensive linemen and Trevor Penning. Maybe you could grab Kenyan Green, but he's not really, he's a guard more so than a tackle. Is Ion Johnson as experience a tackle? Maybe you could grab Zion Johnson or maybe Malik Willis? Question mark? I think a lot of things are going to process through the minds of the New Orleans Saints. I think that's a few guys that the Saints are going to be thinking about here at number 19. I am going to say that the Saints, however, go with the fact that you need to grab the best defensive player available or the best player available on this board right now. And right now, according to this board, it is Devontae Wyatt. So I'm going to say that the Saints do pick Devontae Wyatt. I know that many people that are Saints fan might be confused with this pick, like why Devontae Wyatt? I don't understand that. We don't need defensive tackle. We need offensive linemen, wide receiver. Again, just to reiterate, they're going after Tyler Smith in the second round. They really like Tyler Smith. They feel like he's going to fill in for that Tehran Armstead loss. Okay, so don't get caught up in just the first round and that's it and it's over. Their draft is not over. They're going to get an offensive lineman in the second round. Grab the best available defensive player. You could say you don't need a defensive tackle, but shy title. Who would you rather have? Devontae Wyatt or shy title? There you go. Devontae Wyatt drafted by the New Orleans Saints. Number 20. I think the rumors are out there. I think the news is saying it as well and I think that is going to happen that the Pittsburgh Steelers do draft a quarterback and it is going to be Malik Willis who has ties to Pittsburgh. There's high interest between the Steelers and Malik Willis. The Steelers grab Malik Willis to be the quarterback. There's not really much of an explanation here. I mean, you need a quarterback of the future. Mitch Rabiski could be your guy for 2022, but then 2023 moving forward, it could potentially be Malik Willis. So I do believe with the first round pick the Pittsburgh Steelers do draft Malik Willis. Here at number 21, the New England Patriots. This is one player that has not changed in all of my mock drafts. It is Devon Lloyd, the linebacker from Utah. I do believe that he's going to get drafted by the New England Patriots. If it's not him, then it's going to be Nicoby Dean. Because whichever linebacker goes on this Patriots defense, you can expect a few pro bowls out of their career in the NFL. They need linebacking help with the loss of Kyle Van Noy, with the loss of Jamie Collins, with Dante Hightower. I even said last year they needed a linebacker. So in my mock, I had them getting Jeremiah Ousikormoa. They didn't get them. He thought of the second round. So I think that they do address their linebacking position and they do get a linebacker here. So for number 22, this was owned by the Greenwood Packers. But if you remember that trade, this is now given to the Philadelphia Eagles. I'm going to go ahead and say that the Eagles are going to draft the next best available linebacker because they do need linebacking help. And that is going to be Nicoby Dean. I came out with this mock draft last weekend and there were some Eagles fans that were kind of upset. Like, hey, we don't need help at linebacker. I mean, Kaiser White, you need a linebacker. Like this is going to help. This is going to be your guy for the future, for the next 10 years or so. It's going to be a stud linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, here at number 23. All right, two players that I could see the Arizona Cardinals getting. One, whoever the best offensive lineman is at this point. Or two, George Coloftus from Purdue because they need to address the loss of Chandler Jones at the defensive end position. I think Coloftus is tempting. But I think the downfall of what the Cardinals was last year was not really so much the defensive line, the defense. It was more so the offensive line. Like after that 7-0 game winning streak, the Kyler Murray was just running around everywhere. Like he could not get a lot of time in the pocket. He had to scramble a lot. There may be a lot of that has to do with the tendencies and the playing style of Kyler Murray, but he was not getting any help in the offensive line. So I do believe at this point at number 23, they do grab the next best available offensive lineman. And on the draft board right now is Kenyon Green, the guard from Texas A&M. They need to replace Chandler Jones, like I said, but you need to help out Kyler Murray and that offensive line. So Kenyon Green is going to be the pick by the Arizona Cardinals. Now here at number 24, the Jerry Jones led Dallas Cowboys. Oh my gosh, what are they thinking? What could happen? You need a wide receiver, right? I rub my eyes every time I pick up for the Dallas Cowboys because I'm like, what the heck are they thinking all the freaking time? Last year ended up being a good pick. They didn't really need Michael Parsons, but it ended up being a success for the Dallas Cowboys. Not events. So they picked the next best available player. So if players like Devonte Wyatt falls, maybe they could pick George Coloftus, but you lost two key pieces on that offensive line. And that was Connor Williams and Lael Collins, a tackle and a guard. Hey, who's an offensive lineman? The next best available offensive lineman that could play either guard or tackle is Zion Johnson. So I think that Jerry Jones avoids the media attention in the news and the rumors saying that he's going to draft a wide receiver here. You have to see the lamb and Michael Gallup. I don't know why you need a receiver. And they do the smart thing and they grab the next best available offensive lineman. That's just me having hope for the Dallas Cowboys that they do the smart thing. So I don't think that they're dumb at all. Listen, it could be a situation like back in 2014 when they grabbed Zach Martin over Johnny Manziel. People are like, oh, this is a trash pick. You should have grabbed Johnny Manziel. It ended up being a fantastic pick for the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones, please think of that memory. Please do not grab a wide receiver here. Do the smart thing. I dressed the offensive line. So the Dallas Cowboys, Zion Johnson. Number 25, the Buffalo Bills. In my previous mock, I explained that Breece Hall would be the first running back taken off the board and would be drafted by the Buffalo Bills. And the reason being is because Devon Singletary rushed for 10 or rushed for 26 yards off 10 carries in the divisional round of the playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs. That was a close game. If he had a three down back, who Sean McDermott is saying, we want Josh Allen to run with a ball less, maybe they would have beaten the Kansas City Chiefs and advanced to the AFC championship. So I had Breece Hall originally. I changed my mind because of the loss of Levi Wallace and I looked at the depth chart and I was like, dang it man, this corner position really needs to be addressed. It really does. You can wait on running back maybe in the second round. So I'm going to say that the Buffalo Bills draft Andrew Booth, the cornerback from Clemson to replace the loss of Levi Wallace. That'll be good for the Buffalo Bills defense. We already know this offense is high powered, motor running and the Buffalo Bills, if there's anything that's, well, they have a lot of weak points on defense. The run defense was one of those, but the secondary needs some help as well. So I do believe that they do address that with Andrew Booth here. Number 26, the last trade that we mock for this mock draft. The Tennessee Titans don't have a second round pick. They could also be in that position where they're like, we have a good enough team to where we don't really want to, we could draft someone right now, but we could also wait to maybe the top of the second and draft a key player who could fall outside of the first round. So the Titans might be in a position where they could trade down. Well, our friend Joe Douglas, who already made a trade with the Atlanta Falcons, traded their number sixth pick and the second round, still has another second round pick available. They had the third pick in the second round. They hit up the Tennessee Titans. They're like, listen, we got the third pick in the second round, can we trade up? They're like, I don't know, like you need to package something else. How about an additional first round pick for next year? Because you're additionally moving up, like what is it, nine spots, something like that? Jess are like, dang it, dang it. All right. Here's what we're going to do. Since we love Traylin Burke so much, according to rumors out there, we want to trade up and grab Traylin Burke's before anybody else does. So we'll do this. We will give you a second round pick, the third pick in the second round, and a first round pick next year, so that we can move up to the number 26 pick and grab Traylin Burke's wide receiver, Arkansas. Three players that Joe Douglas loved so much in this draft that I've been hearing, linked to Joe Douglas, the general manager, a mod gardener, Jermaine Johnson, and Traylin Burke's. He's going to try to make that a reality. So he's going to trade whatever he needs to trade to move on up in the draft board to grab all three guys. And at the end of the day, according to this mock draft, he does exactly that. Gardner to help out cornerback, Jermaine Johnson to help out Edge, and then Burke's to help at wide receiver. Successful draft for the New York Jets? I believe so. Number 27, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a position where they need some offensive line help after Ali Marpet retired, but you also need some secondary help as well. For the last two years since Tom Brady has been there, the secondary has been one of the worst things about this Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Defense, they want to get that addressed. That secondary was the reason why they lost to the LA Rams last year. That long pass under two minutes to set up Matt Gave with a game-winning field goal. And the playoffs was the main reason why they lost. They want to fix that. How do you fix it? Address your cornerback position. The next best available cornerback is Roger McCreary from Auburn. And this is why I believe that McCreary is the next pick at cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McCreary, what's good about him is that he's known in college football to be a lockdown man-to-man guy. They need that. They desperately need that because I know that Cooper Cup is Cooper Cup. Can do amazing things. Hard to lock them down. But if they had Roger McCreary in the playoffs one-on-one with Cooper Cup, I mean, it would have been an improvement of what they had already. So I think that McCreary is the guy for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers here at the number 27 pick. Number 28, the Philadelphia Eagles are picking with this pick. One guy that you might have missed that you're like, where is he? Why hasn't he been drafted? Like, some people say that he could be a top 20 pick. That's George Karloftus from Purdue. The Greek freak has not been taken. But I'm going to say that the Philadelphia Eagles draft him here. I sat through this mock draft and I completed it. I went back and forth up and down and I was like, there's no way that Karloftus falls this far to number 28. He's too fricking talented. But I was looking at the team needs and I was looking at how this draft plays out and I was like, actually, it might be a possibility that Karloftus could be the odd man out and whoever grabs him at the end of the first round is getting an absolute steal. So the Eagles address three needs, believe it or not, for the team. Defense of tackle, not the biggest need, but might be a need. Linebacker and Edge help with George Karloftus. They resigned Derek Barnett to a one-year deal, but they didn't want to resign him. They just tested the free agent market. Nobody else wanted to sign. Derek Barnett, come on back. So George Karloftus is going to be that replacement for Barnett, hopefully in the future. Number 29, number 30 is owned by the Kansas City Chiefs. It doesn't matter which order you pick them in, but I believe that number 29 is going to be David Ajabo, Ed Rusher from Michigan, who is recovering from a torn Achilles. We've stated this in previous mocks, but his recovery is going better than usual. Some people are saying that it could be a Cam Acres-like return from a torn Achilles. Whether that happens and he's ready by week one, whether he's going to have to sit out for the 2022 season, I think that's a risk that the Kansas City Chiefs are willing to take. If you're just one game away from the Super Bowl, that means you have a good roster and you're more bound to take some risks. Ajabo, I think he's a player that you could wait on. If it doesn't work out, I think the Chiefs are okay with that for 2022, knowing that in 2023, we're going to get potentially who could have been a top 10 pick in this draft. So Ajabo to the Kansas City Chiefs. And then at number 30 for the Chiefs, Jalen Peter Petry is, I'm pronouncing his name incorrectly, but he's a safety from Baylor. The Chiefs are really interested in him because they want him to be the replacement for Tyron Matthew. He's not a first round talent, so they could address picking him in the second round. However, with Dax Hill still available on the board, if you need a replacement for Tyron Matthew, I highly doubt that you would take that need or take that risk in passing up on a safety when he's right there at your reach. So I'm going to say that Daxon Hill is going to be taken with the number 30 pick. Number 31, another guy that might be falling in draft boards, he might be the next best available offensive lineman after like maybe, gosh, I would say Charles Cross or Trevor Penning. Like he's that good, but the thing is he's a center, so not a lot of teams need him. Tyler Linderbaum could be drafted here by the Cincinnati Bengals. They signed Ted Karris to play at center, but Ted Karris also played at guard in New England, so they might shift Karris to guard and then play Linderbaum at center. And again, it's one of those things where a lot of teams need offensive line, but Linderbaum, what he's known for is being a center. That's always played throughout his career and not a lot of teams need a center. Maybe the Philadelphia Eagles, if they want to find a replacement for Jason Kelsey, who might be retiring in the next year or so. But I think they're going to go ahead and or Linderbaum is going to fall in my mock draft. And I believe that the Cincinnati Bengals are going to pick them up and draft them at number 31. And now to bring it home at number 32, the Detroit Lions. My two previous mock drafts, I had Kway Walker being drafted, a linebacker from Georgia. And the reason being is because the Jaguars were interested in Walker in the second round. So I believe that they wanted to cock block them and draft them at number 32 so that the Jaguars don't get them at number 33. But hey, I think they're going to pass up on that opportunity. And instead, what they're going to be doing, this might irk some Lions fans the wrong way, but hear me out. Matt Corral is going to have his name called to end the night for the Detroit Lions in the first round. And the reason behind Matt Corral is, yes, you do need a quarterback. He is the next best available quarterback according to consensus rankings. And the interesting thing that you need to note about Matt Corral being taken here and not with the number 34 pick in the second round is because first round picks get a fifth year option. That means if they like Matt Corral, they can exercise that fifth year option when it gets to five years in the future. And you don't have to spend so much money resigning him to a big massive deal. Like you could wait another year to save up your money. So I think there's a lot of technicalities involved with it as far as financially and the Lions find the quarterback in the future. They hope fingers cross. So Matt Corral falls to number 32 and is drafted by the Detroit Lions. Let me know your thoughts if you're a Lions fan. What do you think of that?
