Figuring that if I am critiquing others' efforts, I should do one myself,  I did a mock on profootballnetwork.com with their draft simulator.

I like theirs because you can make free trades and it's easy to use.  

I traded down twice:  from 9 down to 11, picking up #79, enabling the Jets to get their T.  When all three of the top WRs, Kinlaw and Henderson were all still on the board, I was tempted to move down again, but I didn't want to get too cute.

I then traded down from 20 to 24, enabling the Saints to get their replacement for Brees in Jordan Love, in exchange for #88, so I wound up with 3 3rd round picks and 14 picks overall.

Not totally happy with my efforts.  I find using this simulator, there is no way for me to remain consistent with the board and get both Solomon Kindley and Leki Fotu in the 4th.  The gap from 116-137 is too great.  I could get one but not the other.  Perhaps I should have traded again from 11.

11.  Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
24.  Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
42.  Josh Jones, T, Houston-Was tempted to take Hamler or Aiyuk here.  Aiyuk was criminally underrated by this board (#63 overall).  Gambled he might be there for me at 73.
73.  J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State-none of the guys I really wanted were there.  Aiyuk went last pick in round 2.  Instead of trading back, just took BAP per that board.
79.  Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri-went back and forth between him and Troutman here.  Not entirely sold on him, but took him on the hopes he could hit the deep seams and create mismatches.
88.  Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame
116. Solomon Kindley, G, Georgia-it was either him or Fotu.
137.  Brandon Jones, S, Texas
140.  Antonio Gandy Golden, WR, Liberty
157.  Ben Bredesen, G, Michigan
165. Nick Harris, C, Washington-Washington is a schol that has produced some good Cs over the years.  The team has shown interest in him, we have the picks, and at this point he was worth the investment.
189. Khalil Davis, DT Nebraska-finally got around to DT.  Not happy with that.
206.  Damien Lewis, G, LSU-No secret he is a fave of mine.  Ranked 211 on the board.
223. Shaquille Quarterman, ILB, Miami.

My initial reaction to this is I got carried away on offense.  But I wanted to ensure we gave Minshew or any future signal caller ample weapons and to take advantage of the WR depth in this class.  It would not shock me to see the team go after two or three WRs in this draft and more in UDFA.  I also wanted to stock up on offensive linemen, and I think Jones was good value at 42.  If I hit on the OL picks, we should have insane depth and flexibility inside.

Anyway, I'll shut up for now.

Rip away.
