I like the idea of the C Patterson in the 3rd. Perfect match of need and value. Anyone mocking Stingley in the top 10 is dead to me.
I can’t stand the mocks showing Stingley to the Jets…..they don’t need to draft a CB especially that high.
You take Neal if it falls like that. Realistically, Hamilton could still be there at 10 but OL is more important for us.

Why? We could certainly do a lot worse. I'd rather get an Edge than a S, but Hamilton would help our secondary a lot both in terms of coverage and in terms of being an enforcer.
I love the Thibodeaux, Petit-Frere, and Smith picks, but not wild about the rest. Never heard of Ford or Lake. I think we need to get an OG earlier. I'd look to take an OG at #71 instead of Patterson. I'm not very high on him at the moment, but that could change.
Don't care for PFF or PFN mock draft machine so I use The Draft Network. Took my first stab at a mock. For some reason, Dean was there at 38 but I went with Harris because I don't think Dean will be there in round 2 for us.
Turned our fourth and fifth round picks into a first and a third as I made a few trades along the way. Got us help on both sides of the ball. 12 Kyle Hamilton S Notre Dame 23 Tyler Linderbaum OC Iowa 35 Sam Howell QB North Carolina 46 David Bell WR Purdue 50 Brandon Smith LB Penn State 60 Breece Hall RB Iowa State 74 Henry To'o To'o LB Alabama 85 Tyler Davis DT Clemson 91 Quay Walker LB Georgia 108 Tyler Allgeier RB BYU 111 Logan Hall DT Houston 145 George Pickens WR Georgia 162 Dameon Pierce RB Florida 193 Dare Rosenthal OT Kentucky 194 Hassan Haskins RB Michigan 2023 LV 1st 2023 MIA 3rd
Spending 2 top 10 picks on low impact positions would be quite a waste of that top tier draft capital...... I would much rather get the safety room figured out in free agency than taking Hamilton at 4th.
It's not something I would normally be in favor of, and I still would rather trade down if we can't get the players we want and need at Edge and WR, but neither C nor S are low impact positions. The C is the captain of the OL. Centers generally call blocking assignments, and since pressure up the middle is the most devastating to a QB, C is a key position. Hamilton is a playmaker. He excels in coverage and is also very good against the run, and is a bit of an enforcer. Since we don't have a ballhawk at CB, he would improve our secondary and also improve our run defense. That would have a big impact on our D. To be clear, I'm hoping for one of Hutchinson or Thibodeaux at #4 and perhaps a trade down a few spots from #10, adding a 2nd and a 3rd and then taking Burks. I'm not going to hold my breath on that happening. If we wind up with two excellent prospects in Linderbaum and Hamilton, I'm not gonna cry. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

He was the best value available at the position. With a total of sixteen draft picks using one to shore up the QB position was a reasonable risk. Zach has already missed time to injury and has not proven to me that he is they guy.
Was having an absolute storming draft and then I accidentally pressed restart draft Evan Neal OT Kenyon Green OG Traded down from #35 Tyler Linderbaum C fell to #38 Jalen Wydermyer TE Jordan Battle S
