TREFF
Fantasy Football Guru--??
Well here's my sure to be %100 inaccurate mock draft, if for no other reason, than I don't include trades, and there's always a handful. I highly doubt day one of the draft is going to bring any real joy to dynasty leaguers or redraft guys hoping to find that electric rookie who can win their title from the mid rounds
1) Jacksonville Jaguars-
All five of the Top 5 teams have so many needs that honestly, what i think they should do, is simply draft the best player available, and that guy will fill a hole. For Jax, that has to be the hands down best prospect in this draft Aidan Hutchinson
What they will do - Aidan Hutchinson (EDGE)
2) Detroit Lions-
what they should do- again, so many holes, best player available. Here that's still the edge rush position. Either Walker of Thibodaux
What they will do- Walker (edge)
3) Houston Texans
what they should do- we've got a broken record here, Texans even more holes than the Jags and the lions combined imho- best player available, which is still EDGE
What they will do- Thibodaux (EDGE)
4) New York Jets
what they should do- Here's where some strategy finally enters. Jets need edge, edge after the big three here would be a reach. You can never go wrong with the best OL in the draft, even if its not truly a need. Evan Neal OT
What they will do- Evan Neal OT
5) New York Giants
what they should do- Giants need a ton as well. O line is at the top of the list. Luckily the best player available is OL. Ekwonu OL
What they will do- Ekwonu OL
6) Carolina Panthers
what they should do- here's where the draft will truly start. Panthers have no shortage of needs, QB being top of the list. But QB here, with this class seems to be a stretch. What they SHOULD do, is trade down. OR take that QB I guess, even though I think it's a mistake
What they will do- Kenny Pickett QB
7) New York Giants (from Chicago Bears)
what they should do- second top ten pick..lucky them? While I personally think they would be best served concentrating on the OL and DL, the best player on the board is a corner, and they have a need there too.
What they will do- Ahmed Gardner (CB)
8) Atlanta Falcons
what they should do- with no prospects whatsoever of contending this year, does it matter? Outside of MAYBE Houston, the biggest wasteland, entirely devoid of talent on either side of the ball. Best player available on my board is a safety. But no safety is going to be a building block. I say the SHOULD go with Cross (OL)
What they will do- Jameson Williams (WR) well, it's splashier, so I'll give em that, but no line, no run game, a marginal QB..sure lets start the rebuild as far away from the ball as possible and work our way in..that ALWAYS works well. Why Williams? he's the only receiver I see in this draft who is a 'complete' WR and not great at one or two things and mediocre at the rest like everyone else. He is a new Amari Cooper in my eyes, and not just because they share a college lineage. And I love Amari, but he's not the best in the league at anything, he's just really good at everything
9) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver Broncos)
what they should do- well, sans Russel Wilson for the first time in a LONG time, what should the Seachickens do?? Again, a near complete rebuild, the best way to do it is start at the ball and work your way outward, that means OL, which is, again, Cross (OL)
What they will do- most likely something ridiculous like a DB- Hamilton (S) or Stingley (CB), (still better than a WR to start your rebuild though)
10) New York Jets (from Seattle Seahawks)
what they should do- with their 2nd top ten pick. I certianly don't expect logic to win out two times in a row, especially not from an organization like the Jets. But what they should do..agian..OL..again..Cross
What they will do- most likely a splashy WR, my guess is Garret WIlson. Who will most likely disappoint as there were simply too many superior athletes in Ohio States WR depth chart to determine who truly was the alpha who who truly could be the alpha..more often than not, neither are the alpha.
11) Washington Commanders
what they should do- Contrary to most opinions you can find out there, I do fell the 'Commanders' have a big need at OL, so again, I think they SHOULD go cross. They also SHOULD go QB, which should be Mallik WIllis
What they will do- I'm guessing whichever DB Seattle doesn't take at #9, Hamilton or Stingley
12) Minnesota Vikings
what they should do- The first team in the draft that actually has legit playoff possibilities is now on the clock. Personally I like Jordan Davis (DL) or Jermaine Johnson (EDGE)
What they will do- most likely secondary help, even though Aaron has no weapons at the moment (which is why the Vikings are the Vikings and the Packers always win the North). Booth or McDuffie (both CB's)
13) Houston Texans (from Cleveland Browns)
what they should do- Texan's second pick of the draft, good, because they need about 12 more. Stick to the basics, take Cross, build that line, worry about the rest later
What they will do- Cross (OL)
14) Baltimore Ravens
what they should do- Well I think they need a couple maulers up front to open up lanes for Jackson, Dobbins, and CO. But, Baltimore also needs to re-acquire that nasty-ness on defense and assert some authority, THAT IS who they are and always have been Jermaine Johnson (EDGE)
What they will do- Jermaine Johnson (edge)
15) Philadelphia Eagles (from Miami Dolphins)
what they should do- Eagles are an interesting team, they have pieces to be exciting. Yet they really aren't. Hurts doesn't have the chops to truly threaten a defense outside of his legs, so a WR, while a big need, I don't think is the best pick. Again, more big hawgs up front to strengthen that most run happy offense in the league the second half of last season would be my pick; Tyler Lindbuam (OL)
What they will do- Chris Olave WR Because they need a WR who can take the top off. Hurts can throw deep, not for sure where it'll end up all the time, but he can throw deep, so there is that.
