Traded down with the Bengals. Will do a 2 trade down mock draft in a few days or so. Maybe tomorrow. Enjoy

17.
Tetairoa McMillan
WR Arizona
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/tetairoa-mcmillan/32004d43-4d51-4957-830f-234e646a998f

6'4" WR who would pair well with CeeDee Lamb. Our top 2 WRs would be night and day better than last season.



44.
Jonah Savaiinaea
OT Arizona

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jonah-savaiinaea/32005341-5629-2109-a411-9050c58f1ecf

Samoan olineman who can replace Martin very nicely. I love the way he blocks, and I think we'd be able to run the ball well. Plus, he's built to play RG. He's the perfect replacement for Martin.

47.
Kaleb Johnson
RB Iowa
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kaleb-johnson/32004a4f-4839-8805-a441-bdb3ea3187ea

Excellent upgrade at RB. He'd be a good lead back for us. Between Savainnaea and Johnson, our run game would be much better. Plus, factor in McMillan and Lamb, and the playaction will be wide open for us to use, a major strength of Dak's.

76.
Alfred Collins
DT Texas
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/alfred-collins/3200434f-4c48-0656-eb0f-b6c850a0a131

Massive NT who can clog the middle. He's not a pass rusher, but I'm not taking a NT to rush the passer. His job is to clog the middle to stop the run and prevent the QB from stepping up. Between the NFC East, AFC West, and NFC North (who we play this year), this will be critical.


119.
Cobee Bryant
CB Kansas
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/cobee-bryant/32004252-5931-4399-7e5f-199439eb6b6e

Solid replacement option for Lewis. He's good at helping in run support, and he's also a good ball player who can intercept the ball well.


149.
Sebastian Castro
S Iowa
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/sebastian-castro/32004341-5381-3611-9e55-08d9a0995265

A good safety option. Never underestimate the need for a safety, and, given the WRs we have in our division, we will want a safety. Castro is good playing the ball as well as stopping the run.


171.
Teddye Buchanan
LB California
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/teddye-buchanan/32004255-4322-1280-615f-e0ff6a162892

Mentioned this player multiple times, but I want this linebacker on our team.

174.
Nick Nash
WR San Jose State
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/nick-nash/32004e41-5338-4527-25f6-56e5009325dd

Solid WR who gives us another weapon. Lamb, McMillan, Tolbert, Nash, Turpin, and Campbell would be an insanely good group of WRs. All of a sudden, we'd have a lot of weapons in our arsenal for offense and we'd be able to run the ball better.

204.
Jay Higgins
LB Iowa
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jay-higgins/32004849-4722-6102-1624-b21189e2f7bc

Excellent tackler. Can never have enough linebackers, especially with how thin we are at linebacker. Higgins and Buchanan would be a nice duo of new linebackers who can help us in a variety of ways.



211.
Ty Hamilton
DT Ohio State
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/ty-hamilton/32004841-4d36-0450-ee10-d4ae78ee2bb2

A 3T who would do well to rotate with Mazi and Osa.


239.
Kurtis Rourke
QB Indiana
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kurtis-rourke/3200524f-5526-6938-2bf5-3db923fa6a15

Mentioned this Canadian QB many times.


247.
Nazir Stackhouse
DT Georgia
https://www.nfl.com/prospects/nazir-stackhouse/32005354-4106-5527-dc9f-00887a740714

Another block eating NT. Collins as the starter and Stackhouse rotating should keep them both fresh well, and we'd be much better at stopping the run.

I think this draft allows us to spread the ball better with more weapons, run the ball better, use the playaction (one of Dak's biggest strengths), stopping the run, and we'd be better able to defend the pass. This draft would give us a much better team.

I can't use 3 Top 50 picks on offense.

I just can't.

I get that. If I were to change any of it, I'd probably take a RB later. But the first two picks I think are what we need (if we don't get Williams). I wouldve gone Tyleik Williams, but McMillan fell to 17, so I had to take him.

The need for OL so early in mocks worry me that they may just do this, I think we have more needs than this we even have Nathan Thomas from last year who we drafted

Well, and if we want to run the ball more efficiently and effectively, then getting a guard like Savaiinea is paramount imo.

That would be a good draft it would improve this football team.

I’d like this draft rusty. I like the first 6 players. They’d all have a chance at starting this year.

Castro is underrated.

That he is. And, while it sucks to lose Lewis, we always have a need at safety. I think Castro is one of the better safeties in this draft. So, it would make sense to draft him. We can always move (if we can't get a CB and Castro) Bell to CB and have Castro at safety. Plus, we have Butler who was injured last year. So, I'd say safety might be more of a need than CB, so yeah, I'd love for us to get Castro even if it meant not getting a corner.
 
Great draft. Trading back in the first and picking up an extra pick is the way to go IMO. I think we'll almost certainly still have a chance to get one of the Top 3 WRs in the first with a trade back. Question then becomes what position to target at #44. Could see RB, DT, or CB there. Maybe OL, I guess.

Yeah, and I got 2 extra picks as well as the Bengals spot and STILL had McMillan fall into my lap. Whether we trade down or not, I think Savaiinea is the perfect pick in round 2. He's the perfect replacement for Martin:



I mean, seriously, look at the power of his blocking. How can we NOT take him if he's available in round 2?
