Rusty's trade mock draft 1.0

[RustyBourneHorse]

A few days ago, I did a 1.0 with no trades. This time, as promised, I'm doing a 1.0 with a trade. I limited myself to one trade. In this, I traded down with the Chiefs for their 32nd and their 64th (2nd round) overall picks. Here's how it turned out. I will show profiles of theirs (I might show some videos too, but I have to make sure the music is suitable for this board).

1. T'Vondre Swift NT Texas

6'4" 362 lbs

To me, he's a priority to bring to Dallas. With our run stopping issues and the slow development of Mazi, Sweat could be a massive run stopper. Plus, Mazi could play 3T while Sweat starts at NT. He looks like a starter here. Nice field goal block to start the video too.


2a. Patrick Paul OT Houston

6'7" 333lbs

He played Lt at Houston. Looks like a monster of a blocker. Given Tyron Smith's history, he seems like the perfect replacement for him. Massive, strong, looks to have similar skills to Tyron. All in all, a good choice for us.




2b. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. LB Clemson

6'0" 230 lbs

Physical linebacker, great at pass rush and coverage. He'd be exactly what we need at linebacker.

3. Will Shipley RB Clemson

5'11" 208 lbs

Solid back who appears to be capable of being a lead back, and he has good pass catching abilities. I think he can help us with our run and short yardage pass game. We should be able to control clock.


5. Javion Cohen OG Miami (FL)

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Javion-Cohen-OL-Alabama

6'4" 319 lbs

Looks to be a solid depth option at guard. Good measurables, and should be able to step in if needed. He and Bass should make nice depth pieces.


6. Ray Davis RB Kentucky

5'10" 216 lbs

Solid option at RB as well. He would make nice depth behind Shipley. I think a RB room of Shipley, Davis, Vaughn, and maybe Pollard (if we bring him back) or Dowdle would make for a lethal running back room. Much better than last year.


7a. Omar Speights LB LSU

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Omar-Speights-LB-OregonState

6'0" 229 lbs

Linebacker depth. Gotta try to find more depth here. That's what he provides.

7b. Jackson Mitchell LB UConn


https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Jackson-Mitchell-LB-Connecticut

6'1" 230 lbs

Hey, it's the 7th round. Might as well take another linebacker. More depth there. Considering how thin we were at LB, it'd be nice to have sufficient depth there with players that are linebackers and not safeties masquerading as linebackers.

So, we'd have a NT, an OT, 2 RBs, a guard, and 3lbers. Should be a nice combo of starters and quality depth pieces in positions needing more depth.

The only pick I question is Trotter. I don’t want to see another 230 lb LB.

 

[Hardline]

Looks good to me.
I don't watch many Clemson games but the ones I've seen. Shipley plays very well in.

Same, but he was the best available at the time I was picking. Hey, with 3 linebackers, surely one of them will be good haha. But yeah, I wanted Peyton from NC State, but he's a mid/late 3rd round prospect apparently.

Same here, and Trotter looks good. Not thrilled about his weight, but he looks physical enough. As for Shipley, he looks like a good back. Between him, Davis, and our current backs, I think we'd have a lethal RB room.

Not bad man you got me my big nasty DT it would be crazy if he comes in and out plays Mazi! I've been a fan of getting trotter it's crazy I remember seeing Harrison Jr, trotter jr on the same field against Micah in a state championship game

Love the trade down, I'm just pissed you couldn't get me a 4th rounder

Haha, hey, it was the best I could do without getting out of Sweat range. Imagine Hankins and Sweat at NT and Mazi and Gallimore at 3T. Can't run on that. Trotter, especially with a revamped DL like this, would make one heck of a dominant force at LB. Micah Parsons would love to have him on our team so he doesn't face most of the oline attention.

I hear you on that, you don't think Neville is gone?? Overall good draft, can't wait to see how they do at the workouts

Same here, I'll probably be more frequent with these when the combine happens, but this is what I have for now. As for Neville, I thought he did alright. Either way, seems Mazi might play more 3T, which makes Sweat an even bigger priority.

I actually like Davis more than Shipley. Not sure that Shipley’s slender build would be good between the tackles over and over. Now if MM could shceme him in passing game but never did with TP. I will say Shipley was an unbelievable beast of a player in high school here in North Carolina

 

[Mr_437]

Rusty handled business, trenches first (I'm a Sweat guy) then went to work. I like both those RBs. I do believe in getting a WR in a loaded class even if it's 6th or 7th round.

Have to build the trenches before getting the skill players lol. I thought about WR, but we have a good set. I might get one next mock draft.

I like Davis a lot too. And for a late round pick, he'd be great value. However, if his combine is good, he might jump high up.

Especially if we end up cutting Gallup, which may happen.
