OK. So I changed the setting to CRAZY because it kept insisting the Panthers would take Young. This is the first Draft at CRAZY. 2 Bryce Young QB (1) 12 Will Anderson ED (3) 33 Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR (11) 65 Broderick Jones T (25) 73 Felix Anudike-Uzomah ED (33) 104 Luke Wypler C (46)
Love this mock draft simulator! I actually spend A LOT of time on it. lol You can get some unrealistically favorable trades though (maybe that's why I like it so much). Other than Stroud I absolutely LOVE this draft though! I'm big on all those players. Calijah Kancey's one of my "binkies" and it's good to see some one else adding him in their wish list. Smaller Aaron Donald imo. Pass rushing demon! To illustrate how much I dislike C.J. Stroud though I'd probably reject this draft filled with all those players I love just because I don't want Stroud. Replace it with Bryce and it's ohhh so nice though!
This would please some: 2 Young QB (1) 12 Skoronski T but move to C under tutelage(12) 33 Washington TE (71) Yes a reach, but can't find a trading partner. 65 Brown S (57) 73 Dell WR (43) 104 Williams CB (49) Don't know why he fell unless injured. This on is a reach to push Skoronski, the highest rated LT, not only to G, but to C as a long term solution. Upside is a perennial All Pro. Down side is wasting a great LT just because of short arms. Washington is rarely there at 33, even though rated on this game as a third rounder. I took Brown at 65 since Wypler or Tippmann are normally my picks there. Lately they aren't. But his does focus on players often considered a good fit.
This just kind of fell into place after trading up to get pick upgrades at from 12 to 6 and 33 to 18 by adding 65 and 73 and trading down from 2 to 3 and picking up 34 and 66. 3. Bryce Young QB 6. Jalen Carter DI 18. Nolen Smith ED 34. Mazi Smith DI 66. Andre Carter II ED 104. Karl Brooks ED Other needs to be addressed in rounds 5-7 or trades. I'm confident Demeco could figure out how to make these players swarm efficiently.
Karl Brooks is another potential position change prospect. He played TE in HS, but had not filled out yet. He has definitely grown into the role.
No more from PFF since they decided to put it behind a paywall. That's not so bad, but they want billing information without even telling you the price. 30% off is NO information if they don't quote a base price. I don't write blank checks others get to fill out any way they want. After a brief high wall (2 rounds once a day), PFF has moderated to unlimited 3 rounds with the paywall for trades and more rounds.
PFF 2 round no trade 2x daily 2 Anderson ED 12 Gonzales CB 33 Jones OT (moves inside) I would be very happy with this. And yes, if we started Case Keenum, it would not devastate me. Anderson is far closer to a sure thing than any QB this year. And I believe Case and Mills would do far better with the 2023 team.
HAPPY "HE IS RISEN" DAY This mornings Draft game results (3 Rounds): 1st draft 1-2 Will Anderson ED 1-12 Calijah Kancey DI 2-33 O'Cyrus Torrence OL 3-65 Darnell Washington TE 3-73 Hendon Hooker QB 2nd draft 1-2 Will Anderson ED 1-12 Christian Gonzalez CB 2-33 Jordan Addison WR 3-65 John Michael-Schmitz C 3/73 Jalin Hyatt WR This would be a good test of "is it the the QB or the Receivers?" DI and QB to be addressed in Day 3. 3rd draft 1-2 Will Anderson ED 1-12 Anthony Richardson QB 2-33 Cam Smith CD 3-65 John Michael-Schmitz C 3/73 Jalin Hyatt WR 4th draft 1-2 Will Anderson ED 1-12 C. J. Stroud QB 2-33 Bijan Robinson HB 3-65 John Michael-Schmitz C 3/73 Darnell Washington TE Through 3 rounds, this is as good as it gets.
Good Morning. This may be the best so far. Big, fast and smart.: 1-2 Anderson ED (LB) DB 2 "we see him as a first-year pro bowler" 1-12 Levis QB DB 26 "Levis is the second biggest boom-bust QB in the class - generational physical gifts" 2-33 Murphy ED (DE) DB 6 "With the right coaching, Murphy could be an impact starter by the end of his rookie season" 3-65 Schmitz C DB 45 "he could quickly develop into a pro bowl level player" 3-73 Washington TE DB 28 "given his frame and overall athletic skills is the kind of player that can become a much better pro than college player" DB - Draftbuzz
Let's fix a few things first. Later round QB or one more shot for Miller or Keenum: 1-2 Anderson ED(LB) 1-12 Wilson ED(LB) 2-33 Robinson HB 3-65 Schmitz C 3-73 Washington TE
Some of the best outcomes on the game are in early morning hours. 1-2 Anderson ED(LB) 1-12 Stroud QB 2-33 Murphy ED(DE) 3-65 Schmitz C 3-73 Ringo CB
Swapped games to PFN: Trade with ARI, 2 and 24-2nd for 3, 3-66 and 24 1st 1-3 Young QB 1-12 Witherspoon CB Trade with TEN, 2-33 and 24-3rd for 2-41 and 24 1st 2-41 Schmitz C 3-65 Dexter DT 3-66 Sewell LB 3-73 Kraft TE
4/18 Draft Louge Trades Arizona 1-3 & 2-34 for 1-2 Detroit 1-6, 1-18, 2-55, 5-152. (2) 24-3s & 24-6 for 1-3 1-6 Will Anderson ED(CB) 1-12 Bijan Robinson RB 1-18 Will Levis QB 2-33 Brian Branch S 2-34 Darnell Robinson TE 2-55 Drew Sanders LB 3-65 Julius Brents CB 3-73 Mattew Bergeron OT 4-104 Andre Carter ED 24-3 (2) & 24-6 (Detroit)
No trades. Just unexpected opportunities: 1-2 Young QB - available when Carolina goes with Stroud 1-12 Richardson QB - Just not expected to be there. 2-33 Branch S - time for D 3-65 Foskey ED - more D 3-73 Wypler C - NEED as much as I hate drafting for need. 4-104 Dell WR - Someone to take it over the top.
