Last weekend I had an initial run with no trades involved. In this mock. I will actually incorporate a few trade scenarios, as realistic as possible, to suit this team's current roster and overall needs as it stands today. Again, utilizing a combination of NFLDraftBuzz & Drafttek's big boards & positional rankings with the PFF mock draft simulator.
In this scenario, I force a trade with Detroit. I am giving them 1 & 106 for 2, 32 & 97. With pick 2, I inquire yet another trade with Washington. For this trade. I give them 2 in exchange for 11, 47 and next year's first round draft pick. Didn't even have to force that trade in this simulator. They willingly accepted it. With the 11th pick in the draft. And, after reading some good news and reports regarding his ACL status. I decided to take Jameson Williams. It's believed he'll be ready to go during training camp. I felt like this move needed to be made in order to ensure this team had a legitimate speed threat with big play making ability on the outside. There's no chance in hell that Williams gets past the Eagles IMHO in this draft. With three picks between 15, 16 & 19 they would more than likely look to pair him up with Smith. The fact that they also signed Kirk & Jones and still have Agnew and Jones from last year to work with made me feel a little bit better with this decision. Also, snatching up a future 1st RD pick in next year's draft and still landing arguably the best receiver in this draft with the highest level of potential felt like a win to me. I forked over picks 97 (Gained from Detroit) and picks 157 & 188 to the Eagles to get pick 83. All for Calvin Austin III. This is one of the last few receivers in the draft that I felt like I wanted a shot at. Tested extremely well at the combine. He's on the small side at 5'9, 173 but his last two years have been very productive. Seems to find the end zone a lot. Love his story as being an unused walk-on to being a game changer in two years. Track level speed. Quick as hell. If you can get him in motion and get him away from bigger corners in specific locations on the field he's got the ability to add some big play capability to this offense. Felt he was well worth the picks to move up for. Nice insurance plan. I forked over picks 235, 222 & 198 to the Vikings for pick 184. At 184 I decided to draft Sterling Weatherford there at 184. Been reading up a lot on this kid. He can roam between S and LB. Has the right size and speed to impact the pass rushing game while also playing in the box in running situations. This is also why I looked at Sewell and took him because he has the mold to play a role in a Tampa 2 look. Those two guys can make this roster if they put in the work and show out during training camp. At the minimum we could probably place them on the practice squad. But, I think given Mike Caldwell's background they'll be looking to add a variety of looks blitz and coverage wise. RD1 - P11 - Jameson Williams - WR - Alabama RD1 - P32 - Arnold Ebiketie - DE - Penn State RD2 - P33 - Trey McBride - TE - Colorado State RD2 - P47 - Chad Muma - ILB - Wyoming RD3 - P65 - Darian Kinnard - RG/RT - Kentucky RD3 - P70 - Josh Paschal - DE - Kentucky RD3 - P83 - Calvin Austin III - WR - Memphis RD6 - P180 - Nephi Sewell - OLB - Utah RD6 - P184 - Sterling Weatherford - S - Miami (OH) RD6 - P197 - Hassan Haskins - RB - Michigan So, all in all. I am pleased with what I managed to accomplish. I know I'll get some mixed reactions on here. I did pull off quite a few trades. I felt like I had to. There's no reason to really sit on 12 picks. I ended up shelling over a 4th, 5th, 6th and pair of 7th RD picks at the end of the day to try and maximize as much as I could need wise towards the final three picks in RD6. While also picking up a future 1st RD pick in next year's draft. Full breakdown on the trades: R1 - P1 & R4 - P106 swapped with Detroit for R1 - P2, R1 - P32 & R3 - P97 R1 - P2 swapped with Washington for R1 - P11, R2 - P47 & R1 in 2023 R3 - P97, R5 - P157, & R6 - P188 swapped with Philadelphia for R3 - P83 R6 - P198, R7 - P222 & R7 - P235 swapped with Minnesota for R6 - P184 Full breakdown on big board rankings from the sites I used for each player selected: Jameson Williams - 23rd overall on Drafttek / 14h overall on DraftBuzz Arnold Ebiketie - 40th overall on Drafttek / 33rd overall on DraftBuzz Trey McBride - 39th overall on Drafttek / 47th overall on DraftBuzz Chad Muma - 62nd overall on Drafttek / 72nd overall on DraftBuzz Darian Kinnard - 45th overall on Drafttek / 45th overall on DraftBuzz Josh Pashcal - 148th overall on Drafftek / 85th overall on DraftBuzz Calvin Austin III - 140th overall on Drafttek / 73rd overall on DraftBuzz Nephi Sewell - 311th overall on Drafttek / 193rd overall on DraftBuzz Sterling Weatherford - 333rd overall on Drafttek / 178th overall on DraftBuzz Hassan Haskins - 183rd overall on Drafftek / 137th overall on DraftBuzz ![]() "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?
