You do realize that almost every "draft expert" on television has Hockenson in their top 5-7 overall players in the draft. He must be pretty special if he is a consensus top pick with all of those guys.

Murray/Lock/Haskins/Jones (some combo of 3 out of the 4) would be off the board.
Bosa/Allen/Q.Williams/D. White would all likely be off the board as well.

That would be 7 of the 10/12 picks before 11/13...so one of the following would still be there at 11/13:
TE: TJ Hockenson
DL: Ed Oliver
DL: Montez Sweat
DL: Rashan Gary
DL: Brian Burns
OL: Jawaan Taylor
OL: Jonah Williams
OL: Andre Dillard
OL: Cody Ford
TE: Noah Fant
WR. DK Metcalf


Maybe it shakes out to:
8 - Detroit : DL - Sweat/Burns
9 - Buffalo: OL - Dillard/Taylor/Williams or WR - Metcalf
10 - Denver: Whichever QB is left of Jones/Haskins/Lock
11 - Jacksonville: Still has their choice of Oliver/Hockenson 

I have Detroit taking Sweat
Buffalo taking Dilliard
Denver would then take Hockenson. They are one of the teams said to covet him and I highly doubt they take a QB in the first round. 
I have Oliver going to the Giants at #6, so in your scenario we'd be screwed, IMO.

So in your scenario I assume,
Murray/Bosa/Allen/Oliver/Williams/D.White/Sweat/Dillard/Hockenson/Lock are the top 10?  I still think one of Haskins/Jones will go top 10 once Lock/Murray go.

So that still leaves Ford/Taylor/William's if they want to go OL.

Haskins/Jones as QB to pick or trade back again with.

Heck...what if Waahington calls at 15 wanting to jump Miami for Haskins...and throws in another 2nd/4th.

We will have dropped from 7 to 15 picked up an additional 2nd/2nd/4th/4th...and could still grab one of Ford/Fant/Taylor/Williams/Gary/Burns.

I like Hockenson but Ford and 2nd/2nd/4th/4th sounds like a pretty nice consolation prize....
