Welcome back to Coach’s Mock Draft 2.0! Lot of moving and shaking in my board so let's see where players are gonna land! here we go!
SWERVE
Jacksonville Jaguars – Travon Walker / Edge / Georgia – Well Vegas is usually right for a reason. In typical Jags fashion, instead of taking a franchise tackle they opt for a developmental project. (1.0 Evan Neal)
Detroit Lions – Aidan Hutchinson / Edge/ Michigan – K.I.S.S – KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID (1.0 Aidan Hutchinson)
Houston Texans – Mark Willis / QB/ Liberty – Sticking to my guns. New regime always means a change in QB.
New York Jets – Sauce Gardner / Cb / Cincy – I had the jets taking him at 10. But with how things are playing it, doesn’t look like he will get that far. (1.0 Thibodeaux)
New York Giants- Evan Neal / T / Alabama – (1.0 Charles Cross) Things get real here with this pick. To me the Giants hold the power of the draft with this pick. Now that top talent are dropping down the board. A team might take this to try and get one of those original top 5 picks. I think the Giants stick here and take Neal to help revamp that O-line they’ve been desperately attempting to do.
Carolina Panthers – Ikem Ekwonu / T/ Nc State – I staying with Ekwonu here. You could pencil Cross in here. But I think Ekwonu’s ability to potential move inside give the Panthers options.
New York Giants – *TRADE ALERT* Still think the Saints take this spot. Willis is off the board they traded to get multiple first picks in this draft for a reason. But now with the players dropping I think the Giants get both the First. There is too much top 5 talent falling for the Giants just take 16 and 2nd and 3rd day picks to move back. Saints – Kenny Pickett / QB / Pitt
Atlanta Falcons – Drake London / WR / USC – Ya, I’m still good with this
Seattle Seahawks – Matt Carroll / QB / Ole Miss – Same
New York Jets – Kayvon Thibodeaux / Edge / Oregon – if the Giants don’t stay at 7, I Cant see any team above the Jets taking him. (1.0 Sauce Gardner)
Washington Commanders – Derek Stingley / CB/ LSU – Im not sure what to do with Stingley. When I started this redo I had him going 2. Now I have him dropping to 11. WHAT AM I DOING!!
Minnesota Vikings – Kyle Hamilton / S / Notre Dame – Most mock drafts have him going no later then here. I cant see him falling futher
Houston Texans – Charles Cross / T / Miss St (1.0 Chris Olave) Had the Texans going WR here. Cross cant fall this far. Tackles don’t fall this far…
Baltimore Ravens – Jermaine Johnson / Edge / Florida St (1.0 Travon Walker) I can see the giants making a push to get to 12 or 13 knowing the Ravens are going for a pass rusher.
Philadelphia Eagles – Garrett Wilson / WR/ Ohio State – Crisp Route running paired with Smith burst of speed.
New Orleans Saints - *Traded to the Giants * Trent Mcduffie / CB / Washington - With most premier edge rushers off the board Giants turn to the Secondary (1.0 Jermaine Johnson)
LA Chargers – Trevor Penning / OT/ Northern Iowa – Locked in here
Philadelphia Eagles – Kaiir Elam / CB / Florida – The Eagles give Slay a running mate on the outside to help its Secondary (1.0 Trent Mcduffie).
New Orleans Saints – *Traded to the Giants* Zion Johnson / G / Boston College – I am actually staying here with this. The Giants tried to put some band aids on the O-line this offseason. But Johnson and Neal are steps towards the Future
Pittsburgh Steelers – Kyler Gordon / CB / Washington (1.0 Kaiir Elam) – I think the Steelers ride the year with Trubisky. They can use some help in the Secondary.
New England Patriots – Chris Olave / WR / Ohio State – Are the Pats going to be putting up 30 points a game? (1.0 Kyler Gordon)
Green Bay Packers – Quary Walker / LB / Georgia – 3 things in life are guaranteed death, taxes, and the Packers not drafting help for Aaron Rodgers
Arizona Cardinals - Johan Dotson / WR / Penn State – Christian Kirks inconsistent play got him paid in Jacksonville. Cards take a step to replace him
Dallas Cowboys – Trevor Penning (1.0 Tyler Smith) / OT / Nothern Iowa – the once strength has now turned into a liability
Buffalo Bills – Devin Lloyd (1.0 Kyler Gordon) / LB / Utah – Speedy and Athletic LB. Seems like a great fit going against a team in an AFC championship game that is very fast
Tennessee Titans – Jameson Williams / WR/ Alabama – Julio Jones experiment didn’t work. Robert Woods is coming off an ACL injury. Reinsurance to make sure Browns not double teamed all season
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jordan Davis / DT / Georgia – I know a lot of people have Davis going higher. But I just don’t believe QBs will slip that far. Look at Christian Ponders draft class. Tampa Bay gets a steal cause of that.
Green Bay Packers – George Karlaftis (1.0 Christian Watson) / Edge / Purdue – DEATH TAXES AND NOT HELPING AARON RODGERS
Kansas City Chiefs – Kenyon Green / G / Texas A&M – at this point its value. Chiefs improved on the o-line last year. But depth and value are important in those interior OL positions.
Kansas City Chiefs – Lewis Cine / S / Georgia – Player loss is a player gained. Honey Badger is no longer lurking in the backfield. Cine doesn’t fill the shoes, but he helps.
Cincinnati Bengals – Trey McBride / TE / Colorado State – A young QB can only gain by having a reliable TE. Bengals get their man.
Detriot Lions –Treylon Burks (1.0 Sam Howell) / WR / Arkansas – Had the lions going Qb and didn’t love it. With how things are shaking out on 2.0. They get another WR to help Goff in a make or break year.
