"While not the flashiest pass rusher, he generates pressure with effort and technique, collapsing the pocket and forcing quarterbacks off their spot." This is one of the more intriguing write ups. Cross III is now ranked very near my favorite surprise pick which is no longer a surprise, Phillips because of his leverage expertise from his wrestling background. Unfortunately, this has become a vast wasteland between picks 89 and 166 after we traded away 127.
I like this one a lot. Jackson is one of my favorites. I think Higgins fits perfect in the WR and Jayden Blue is a top 2 target for me in the RB position, adds the speed we need, could be our Achane.
I would only suggest Blue is more of a Hybrid Receiver than a RB. But he might be perfect for the jet Sweeps. But I'd need to know if he needs a runway to get up to speed or to make a turn or stop.
He doesn't need a runway. He is very good at running routes/catching the ball and decent in pass pro. Speed to kill, probably goes in the 3rd rd but may fall to the 4th. Would have to trade up for him.
I agree. After you started talking about him, I've been watching some vids, and he has become the WR I target in the 3rd.
If they dont pick Golden at 1-25 and want Williams they will probably have to pick him at 2-58 because he's likely to go before 3-79.
I had a tough choice between Golden and Booker in one draft. I went with Booker since the OL needs the most help.
In the mocks where I trade back for extra picks, one of them is always with Williams in mind, and it's usually before pick 79. Well, Williams and Mason Taylor. I go back and forth sometimes I manage to get both
The Mock Draft simulators need a lot of work. I always end up drafting players I know will never be available at the pick selection after the 1st round.
I would pick one of Taylor or Loveland if Banks isn't there then circle back for Jackson or Milum after using 2-58 and 3-89 to trade up. That would fix the OL and trade one of the 2026 2nd's along with 3-79 to move up and pick Williams. so I would end up with 3 starters in this draft and get a 3rd down RB in rd 5. Do I think Caserio will do this? Not a chance. Rd. 1 Taylor or Loveland Rd.2 Jackson or Milum Rd. 2 Williams Rd.5 Blue/Smith/Tuten/Croskey- Merritt.
