Stingley at ANY pick is a no go for me, let alone the first pick. Then the first offensive skill player isn't until Round 3, and the next one until their last pick (in your mock)? Canton, China maybe.
This time I really think I caught lightning in a bottle. I had to work the phones pretty hard to get these picks. I even got a first round linebacker for K'OB: First Round 15 Travon Walker EDGE Georgia 6'5" 275 lbs Walker helped the Bulldogs win a national championship and put up unreal numbers at the combine. John Abraham the sequel. 18 Devin Lloyd LB Utah 6'3" 237 Utah lbs Not only can Lloyd play multiple positions but he is unit. Has the strength and speed to make teams pay on all three downs. 29 Trent McDuffie CB Washington 5'11 193 lbs Has the size of a safety with a 4.44 40 time. Very productive player with plenty of tape to prove it. 30 George Karlaftis EDGE Purdue 6'2" 266 lbs Another player with amazing tape with 41 sacks in his college career Second Round 35 Tyler Linderbaum OC Iowa Prototypical center that can man the line for the next decade. 36 Devonte Wyatt DT Georgia Jordan Davis had a flashier combine but Wyatt is also a national champion and the best DT in this draft. Third Round 73 Kenneth Walker III RB Michigan State 5'9 211 lbs One of the top two RBs in this class Rushing for 3,485 yards and 41 TDs and 89 broken tackles. 77 Leo Chenal LB Wisconsin 6'3" 250 lbs Another powerful linebacker with speed that can make opposing offenses pay. 93 Brian Asamoah II LB Oklahoma 6'0" 226 lbs Undersized but a sure tackler with great speed and instincts. Fourth Round 134 Bryan Cook S Cincinnati 6'1" 206 lbs Low risk player who can play both safety spots and seems to do everything well.

First, you took 3 LBers, a position Saleh says he doesn't even need upgrading at. Secondly, where's our WR? I think the "lightning" missed the bottle and hit your noggin.
The value just was not there at any of my picks. With all of those future picks we could always get our WR later through free agency, trade, or next year's draft. The draft is about maximizing talent. Free agency is for filling holes.
It's not that cut and dried. You can't just accumulate talent at a few positions and leave big holes elsewhere. That's how Macc tried to do it. You have to get balance.
I hadn't taken that into consideration tbh but yes at 30 it would probably be worth taking the chance.
I only took two players on offense but they are both starting quality players. With our new RB tandem, two new tight ends and a revamped offensive line Zach and our now healthy receiver core will not be expected to do all of the heavy lifting. Free agency is still ongoing and many veterans will shake loose as teams draft their replacements. Preseason is still four months away.
Decided to do a no-trade one here with PFF. I know you can't take the visits as gospel, but Diesch is the only one who the Jets didn't have a visit with and/or coach during the Senior Bowl. 4. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Edge, Oregon 10. Jameson Williams, Wide Receiver, Alabama 35. Travis Jones, Defensive Interior, UConn 38. Jaquan Brisker, Safety, Penn State 69. Troy Andersen, Linebacker, Montana State 111. Kellen Diesch, Tackle, Arizona State 117. Marquis Hayes, Guard, Oklahoma 146. Pierre Strong Jr., Running Back, South Dakota State 187. Jaylen Watson, Cornerback, Washington State
Did a super early one for 2023. 4. Will Anderson Jr LB Edge 37. Trenton Simpson LB Clemson 68. Jarrett Patterson OC Notre Dame 104. Troy Dean III S Florida 131. Noah Ruggles K Ohio State 136. Rakim Jarrett WR Maryland
Did one today where it has us picking 6th. 6. Noah Sewell LB Oregon 37. Sedrick Van Pran OC Georgia 69. Tyler Davis DT Clemson 105. Derick Hall Edge Auburn 137. Rakim Jarrett WR Maryland 169. Harrison Mevis K Missouri The last one was considered a reach, but I read up on him and apparently he's always played at a high level. Our kicking game could use some stability.
Was getting better results when we were picking fourth instead of sixth but was very happy with this one: 11. Will Anderson Jr. EDGE Alabama Height: 6-4 | Weight: 235 (Third rated player on the board) 37. Matthew Bergeron OT Syracuse Height: 6-5 | Weight: 327 (35th ranked) 42. Malachi Moore CB Alabama Height: 6-0 | Weight: 182 (33rd ranked) 63. John Michael Schmitz OC Minnesota Height: 6-4 | Weight: 320 (44th ranked) Tennessee Titans first rounder Tennessee Titans second rounder Traded # 6, 105 & 137 to Titans for # 16, # 48, # 80 & first and second round picks next year Traded # 16, # 69 & our third rounder next year for # 11 Traded # 48 from Titans, # 69 & our fifth rounder next year for # 42 Traded # 80 & picks 4, 6 & 7 next year for # 63 Not a bad haul.
