Kiper Mock 3.0 3/19/24

[Risen Star]

If the 1st round occurred today this is exactly how it would unfold.

-

1. Chicago Bears (Carolina) - Caleb Williams QB USC
2. Washington Maroonskins - Jayden Daniels QB LSU
3. New England Patriots - Drake Maye QB North Carolina
4. Arizona Cardinals - Marvin Harrison Jr. WR Ohio St.
5. Los Angeles Chargers - Malik Nabers WR LSU
6. New York Giants - Rome Odunze WR Washington
7. Tennessee Titans - Joe Alt T Notre Dame
8. Atlanta Falcons - Dallas Turner OLB Alabama
9. Chicago Bears - Jared Verse DE Florida St.
10. New York Jets - Brock Bowers TE Georgia
11. Minnesota Vikings - J.J. McCarthy QB Michigan
12. Denver Broncos - Bo Nix QB Oregon
13. Las Vegas Raiders - JC Latham T Alabama
14. New Orleans Saints - Olu Fashanu T Penn St.
15. Indianapolis Colts - Quinyon Mitchell CB Toledo
16. Seattle Seahawks - Troy Fautanu G Washington
17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Terrion Arnold CB Alabama
18. Cincinnati Bengals - Taliese Fuaga T Oregon St.
19. Los Angeles Rams - Byron Murphy II DT Texas
20. Pittsburgh Steelers - Brian Thomas Jr. WR LSU
21. Miami Dolphins- Graham Barton C/G Duke
22. Philadelphia Eagles - Nate Wiggins CB Clemson
23. Minnesota Vikings (Clev thru Hou) - Cooper DeJean CB Iowa

24. Dallas Cowboys - Tyler Guyton T Oklahoma
How will the Cowboys replace long-time left tackle Tyron Smith, who just signed with the Jets? Based on their lack of moves over the past 10 days, they might be thinking this pick is their best bet. And looking at my rankings, they're probably right. Guyton, Amarius Mims (Georgia), Jordan Morgan (Arizona) and Roger Rosengarten (Washington) could all be in play in the final 10 picks of Round 1. Of those four, only Morgan played the majority of his snaps at left tackle, but I think Guyton has the highest ceiling. He started just 14 games in college; he has outstanding physical tools to mold.

Dallas also has a hole to fill at center, as Tyler Biadasz left in free agency. Jackson Powers-Johnson (Oregon) could be in play.

25. Green Bay Packers - Laiatu Latu OLB UCLA
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Xavier Worthy WR Texas
27. Arizona Cardinals (Houston) - Chop Robinson OLB Penn St.
28. Buffalo Bills - T.J. Tampa CB Iowa St.
29. Detroit Lions - Xavier Legette WR South Carolina
30. Baltimore Ravens - Amarius Mims T Georgia
31. San Francisco 49ers - Roger Rosengarten T Washington
32. Kansas City Chiefs - Adonai Mitchell WR Texas

Would have to think if it played out like this Mims would be the pick. Personally, I would trade down to the end of the 1st and pick up a 3rd if possible. 4 OL are available Mims, Guyton, Barton, JPJ.

Here's what Lance Zierlein has to say about Kiper's new 1st round projection Roger Rosengarten.

Two-year starter with long legs, a physical demeanor and a limited athletic profile. Rosengarten is smart and uses all the tricks in his bag to make up for his lack of fluidity. His ability to help protect his quarterback in five-man protections helped to bring the Huskies the Joe Moore Award (given to the top offensive line in college football), but he might be too slow-footed to stay in front of NFL rushers. He's below average as a bender and still needs to work on his hand placement, but a move inside to guard could give him a better shot at making a roster as a mauler on a physical front.

 

[Risen Star]

I wish he'd make it to 24.

Taking Guyton over Latu / Mina would be the most Cowboys move ever.

 

[KingintheNorth]

He’s been high on Rosengarten on his podcast and radio show as well


My guess is Rosengarten is represented by one of Mel’s “guys”.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

In this scenario, give me Mims.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I think Mimms has the most upside of the OTs but with so few starts and some injuries you have to worry a tad.

Interesting that he did not have JPJ going in the first but did say this...

Dallas also has a hole to fill at center, as Tyler Biadasz left in free agency. Jackson Powers-Johnson (Oregon) could be in play.

This is why we can't be friends.

 

[J-man]

we do people still listen to the hack?

 

[reddyuta]

JPJ will be my pick but i think Cowboys will pick an OT.

 

[Alexander]

Well then. We now know Guyton will not be a Cowboy.

This is not uncommon for him to inflate a grade this late.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah he was way off with Tyler Smith.

How's Joel? Do you miss him? You got a flashlight and a couple of shovels?

 

[Risen Star]

Ignore this. This is nonsense. Just something they came up with one day with zero evidence and now accept it as fact.

I just don’t lIke Mims or Guyton like the media does.

I feel our best way to secure line is move Smith to LT, start Bass and draft JPJ/Barton.

Nothing is a sure thing in the NFL. But we cannot afford to move tackle from RT to LT and they flop

Yeah, I haven’t seen him really mentioned high by anyone else

 

[NeonNinja]

For me: JPJ over Guyton all day.

Just me, but I think they only take JPJ if all other top Tackles are off the board. Similar to what happened when they drafted Fredbeard. They prefer OLine flex players
