Rusty's 4.0 1 trade mock draft

[RustyBourneHorse]

The platform is not aware yet of the Milton trade. So, I will just say that the pick I would have taken at 171 (for full transparency) would have been Dillon Gabriel, who was available at that spot. Instead, we now have the 217th overall pick, with which, I would have taken Tim Smith (DT Alabama). I've mentioned him in previous drafts. With that said, I traded the 12th overall pick down with the Chargers (receiving the 22, 55, and 86 picks), and the picks (removing the 171 pick and negating the aforementioned 217 pick) are below. I will, however, post a video and measurements after the listed picks. I will refrain from posting measurements and videos for players I've drafted regularly (like Tyleik Williams)

22.
Tyleik Williams
DT Ohio State

Picked many times, see other picks for measurements

44.
Jonah Savaiinaea
OG Arizona

Picked many times, see other picks for measurements



55.
Quinshon Judkins
RB Ohio State
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/quinshon-judkins/32004a55-4435-9919-355b-3e0aef2de56d



Beast of a RB who would give us a much improved run game.


76.
Lathan Ransom
S Ohio State
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/lathan-ransom/32005241-4e76-9272-7c58-09cd401942a2



Monster of a safety who would greatly help us improve our secondary. See his skills in the video for example.

86.
Elic Ayomanor
WR Stanford
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/elic-ayomanor/32004159-4f18-1317-b6fe-2f1d7c9b240d





Gets a rare double video. I think this underrated Canadian WR would make a nice option opposite Lamb and rotating with Tolbert. I posted the second video because he missed Travis Hunter. Especially if the Giants get Hunter, I think Ayomanor would be a great response to that pick.

149.
Pat Bryant
WR Illinois
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/pat-bryant/32004252-5950-9133-617b-ed49a9eaf11b



Underrated WR who would give us more weapons. With this pick, we should be good on drafting WRs for a while. Could be a replacement for Tolbert when his contract is up.

174.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
LB Kentucky

We never have enough Linebacker depth. Buchanan was off the board and I've picked him so many times at this point it'd be boring to pick him again. Dumas-Johnson is a good option for us if Buchanan is off the board. I think he would give us a really good linebacker who's good in coverage and while blitzing.


204.
Cody Lindenberg
LB Minnesota
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/cody-lindenberg/32004c49-4e17-3885-2282-fec661cb7943

https://youtu.be/X5jIAY6pXS0?si=wo4ATY09PK5HdSI3

Underrated linebacker who would give us more linebacker depth. All of a sudden, we'd go from a thin linebacker room to a linebacker room with more skill and depth doubling up here at the position.

211.
Carson Vinson
OT Alabama A&M
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/carson-vinson/32005649-4e56-0679-5c8d-da2cbc83a858

All I could find was a short video and a YouTube Short, so here they are. Not really surprising considering he's a small school player. Still, with what I see, he'd be good depth on the oline. Can't hurt to add depth here.


239.
Shilo Sanders
S Colorado

Apparently an idiot off the field given that, allegedly, he's having his Mercedes repossessed, he's a decent safety option for on the field. Pretty good depth option at a position where we need depth.


247.
Isas Waxter
CB Villanova
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/isas-waxter/32005741-5841-5291-aa88-456b8803a21d

CB help, a good depth option at CB.

Bonus:
Tim Smith (see above explanation for why he's not in the draft list)

Not a bad 3T option. I figured that, by taking him, he'd rotate with Osa and Mazi. The combo of him and Williams (first round) would be a nice duo at DT.

Hope you all enjoyed this draft.

Only 1 RB?

Only 1 RB?

Yeah, I thought about doubling later at RB, but, between Judkins as the starter and lead back, Sanders, Davis, and Vaughn, it should be decent. Plus, I must account for undrafted players, CFL prospects, and UFL Prospects. Also, I used to do mock drafts with undrafted picks. Fwiw, while I haven't done that in a while, I have two I'd love for us to get undrafted (and I may do a UDFA list on drafts next week). The first being Roydell Williams from Florida State (5'10" and 214 lbs) and the second being Na'quan Wright (5'9" and 196 lbs).

Roydell Williams
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roydell_Williams_(running_back)



The video is from when he was at Alabama. I think he's got a lot of capability and is a player who would make the team. I know it's asking a lot to rely on a UDFA, but I think Williams could very well make the team.


Nay'quan Wright
https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4567400/nayquan-wright


Another good prospect who I think will go undrafted and would be a great pick up by us. He's another one that I think could make the team undrafted.

As for UFL, I mentioned that because we seem to pick up good prospects from there, and I would love for us to pick up C.J. Marble.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._J._Marable



I remember watching him (and Aubrey) in the USFL Championship in 2023 in Canton. He was damn good. I think he's a player who would make an interesting camp invite. Another one I like is Abram Smith. I watched him on TV last weekend and was impressed with his speed.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Smith_(American_football)

I think these would be ways around the need to double up at RB in the draft, and I was still able to fill a lot of holes with the trade down. I suppose I could have taken a RB instead of Bryant from Illinois, but I think RB is easier to find undrafted/in the UFL.

I like except not getting a speedy rb

I like except not getting a speedy rb

I get that, though I think the speedy RB is easier to get undrafted or through the UFL.
