Timb2's NFL Mock Draft 1- 17-25 with Reasons for Picks

[timb2]

1ST ROUND

1- Titans-Abdul Carter EDGE Penn State

Reason- Titans have a lot of holes on this team. Tennessee also is not into the flashy Deion Sanders type QB's. I also don't think Cam Ward is worth the #1 overall pick. Not really a good QB year to draft one. Carter is a safe pick with him being one of the best pass rushers in this draft.


2- Browns- Travis Hunter WR/ CB Colorado

Reasons- Browns for some reason are committed to DeShaun Watson. Browns WRs scare no one right now. Hunter can also bring dynamics on defense & returns also.


3- Giants-Will Johnson CB Michigan

Reason- Will the Giants pull the plug on the QBs? Somehow watch free agency before the draft for the answer. Sam Darnold possibly?Giants have always been known for their defense. Giants really need a #1 CB . Deon Banks was suppose to be that guy,but he's more of a #2 CB. Will Johnson is really good. Reminds me of Michael Haynes . Tall,Fast,Smart the complete CB actually better than hyped Travis Hunter.


4- Patriots-Patriots- Mason Graham DT Michigan

Reason- Pats new HC Mike Vrabel is going to want a top defense full of hard nose players just like when he played. Graham fits the mold to become the emotional leader one day for the defense. Vrabel picking Graham is a statement of what he wants in his team.


5-Jaguars-Ashton Jeanty RB Boise State

Reason- I have recognized that Jags QB Trevor Lawrence is really not all that. He needs players around him. Give him the workhorse in Jeanty to help this offense come to life. It will help Lawrence in the long run.

6- Raiders- Shedur Sanders QB Colorado

Reason- Flashy Primetime in the Vegas Lights. It works perfect as a puzzle piece. Raiders need some excitement and Sanders should deliver.


7-Jets- Cam Ward QB Miami

Reason- Jets have been down so long with mismanagement/ coaching. Ward takes over for Aaron Rodgers. Jets do have some talent and could surprise if they don't shoot themselves in the foot like they always do with management decisions.


8-Panthers- Jalon Walker EDGE Georgia

Reason- Panthers are an odd team and could upgrade with Walker over average DJ Wonnum or Jadevon Clowney who plays when he wants too.


9-Saints- Tetaroia McMillen WR Arizona

Reason- Surprised McMillen is still on the board. Chris Olave is a decent WR but he needs help around him. Marquez Valdez- Scantling just hit that 30 number, not many more years usually for NFL WRs over 30. McMillen becomes an immediate impact.


10-Bears- Nic Scourton DE Texas A& M

Reason-DeMarcus Walker is a journeyman. Scourton starts by midseason for the next decade as the LDE.

11-49ers- Kelvin Banks OT Texas

Reason- Trent Williams is on the wrong side of 30 and he was injured this last season and his replacements were not very good. If the Niners want Purdy to be the QB they envisioned, they better protect his backside. Banks could start as a rookie as the LT.


12- Cowboys-Derrick Harmon DT Oregon

Reason- I believe Cowboys probably will not resign Osa Odigizuwa and the backups at DT are stiffs. Harmon over Kenneth Grant which Dallas maybe gun shy taking another Michigan DT. Cowboys might think trade down thinking they can get Harmon later. Don't be stupid, get him now!!




13-Dolphins- Xavier Watts S Notre Dame

Reason- Yes other Safeties out there, but watching Watts tape stands out vs the others. Jordan Poyer is on his last legs, his best days were in Buffalo. Watts could slide right into his safety spot and not skip a beat.


14-Colts- Tyler Warren TE Penn State

Reason- Mo Ali- Cox was always a project and the Colts haven't had a great TE since Dallas Clark. Warren would help a lot to a young receiving offense as they grow.


15-Falcons- Deone Walker NT Kentucky

Reason- Some reason I believe he could go before other DTs because of his size. 6-6,345 lbs , a roadblock in the middle for the Falcons defense.

16-Cardinals- Luther Burden WR Missouri

Reason- Cardinals even though they got Marvin Harrison Jr. last year , they really need speed at WR. Burden can be an electric player and make the Cards high flyers in the air.


17-Bengals- Mykel Williams DE Georgia

Reason - both starting DEs Hendrickson & Hubbard are getting up in age. Williams can come in on 3rd downs as pass rusher as a rookie before taking over in later years.


18-Seahawks- Jihaad Campbell ILB Alabama

Reason- Seahawks really miss both Bobby Wagner & Jordyn Brooks as leaders of the defense. Campbell is a similar type who can be the emotional leader on defense.


19-Buccaneers- Shavon Revel CB East Carolina

Reason- Tall at 6'-3" and a big hitter. Bucs need someone to replace Carl Davis and become the #1 CB here.


20-Broncos- Will Campbell OT LSU

Reason- Garrett Bolles came into the league at almost 25 I believe. He is now in his 30s and getting injured. Broncos need to make sure Bo Nix stays upright. Campbell has good feet to become a NFL Left Tackle.

21-Steelers- Savion Williams WR TCU

Reason- Williams is a physical freak who will jump up the charts after the Combine. He stands at 6'-5",225 lbs. A big bruising WR they haven't had since Plaxico Burress or Hines Ward.

22-Chargers- Mike Green EDGE Marshall

Reason- All the Bolts Edge Rushers have issues. Khalil Mack should retire,Joey Bosa stays hurt, Bud Dupree gets in trouble off the field. Bring in Green some young fresh legs to cause terror.


23-Packers-Landon Jackson DE Arkansas

Reason- Jackson is a good athlete at 6-7", 280 lbs. He can play with his hand on the ground or standing up.


24-Vikings- Jahdae Barron CB Texas

Reason- Really need a #1 Cover Corner. Barron is a very solid choice as he plays as a hard hitter punishing WRs who try to catch the ball around him.

25-Texans- Kenneth Grant DT Michigan

Reason- Texans could improve in the trenches on D- Line.


26-Rams- Maxwell Hairston CB Kentucky

Reason - Rams need help in the secondary. Hairston is a very good cover corner and a cocky player who Los Angeles would love.

 

[timb2]

27-Commanders- Malaki Starks S Georgia

Reason- Dan Quinn would love this guy. He covers the whole field and is like a heat seeking missle after the ball carrier

28-Ravens- Tre Harris WR Mississippi

Reason- Harris would be a very good compliment to Zay Flowers & Rashad Bateman at WR.


29-Bills- Kyle Kennard DE South Carolina

Reason- A.J. Espenasa doesn't offer much of a pass rush. Kennard would improve the sacks totals.


30-Eagles-Azarey'eh Thomas CB Florida State

Reason- Guy gets no publicity but this guy has great athletic ability. Solid tackler,soft hands. Should replace Darius Slay if chosen here.


31- Chiefs-Tyler Booker OG Alabama

Reason- Chiefs need a LG and RG Trey Smith is a free agent that will be sought after.


32- Lions-Jayden Higgins WR Iowa State

Reason- Big target. Big possession WR. Lions could upgrade with Higgins with Jameson Williams and Amon St. Brown.

2ND ROUND

33-Browns- Jordan Burch DE Oregon

34-Giants- TJ Sanders DT South Carolina

35-Titans- Jalin Milroe QB Alabama

36-Jaguars- Trey Amos CB Mississippi

37-Raiders- Elic Ayomanor WR Stanford

38-Patriots- Josh Simmons OT Ohio State

39-Bears- Walter Nolan DT Mississippi

40- Saints-Nick Emmanwori S South Carolina

41-Bears- Danny Stutsman MLB Oklahoma

42-Jets- Harold Fanin TE Bowling Green

43-49ers-Jack Sawyer DE Ohio State

44-Cowboys- Barrett Carter MLB Clemson

Reason- Replaces Eric Kendricks and teamed with Overshown they will be covering the whole field sideline to sideline causing mayhem.

 

[Bigdog]

Thank you for putting the time into doing this but if it turns out this way it is the most depressing mock I have seen for our Cowboys. It would be depressing because all of the picks that I would want are gone before we pick at 12.

45- Colts- Denzel Burke CB Ohio State

46-Falcons- Isiah Bond WR Texas

47-Cardinals- Omarion Hampton RB North Carolina

48-Dolphins- Cam Skattebow RB Arizona State

49-Bengals- Jonah Savaiiea OG Arizona

53-Buccaneers- Chris Paul ILB Mississippi

54-Packers-Jay Higgins ILB Iowa

61-Bills- Davidson Igbunosun CB Ohio State

62-Eagles- David Walker DE Central Arkansas

63-Chiefs- James Pearce DE-Tennessee

64- Lions-Domani Jackson CB Alabama

 

[RonWashington]

They’re at the top of the proceedings the Titans just fired their 2 yr GM and hired Mike Borgonzi from the Chiefs . No way shape or form does this new GM want to start out his 5 yr contract with Will Levis at QB .

As far as Dallas out of all these pending internal FA’s they have i would like Osa and Dowdle returning meaning DT and RB can go rounds 2, 3 and your lead off pick at 1 can either be a disruptive edge / LB hybrid or a WR to line up opposite Lamb with Tolbert holding down the slot and helping 60 million $ man . McMillian is the Home run Burden is the consolation prize at WR . Defensive pick either Walker or Campbell

3RD ROUND

65-Giants- Kyle McCord QB Syracuse

66-Chiefs- Omar Norman- Lott DT Tennessee

67-Browns- Tory Horton WR Colorado State

68-Raiders-Aireontae Erserey OT Minnesota

69-Patriots- Jack Nelson OT Wisconsin

70-Jaguars- Ricky White WR UNLV

71- Saints- Mason Taylor TE LSU

72- Bears- Luke Lachey TE Iowa

73-Raiders-Ty Robinson DT Nebraska

74-Panthers- Quinn Ewers QB Texas

75- 49ers-Jarquez Hunter RB Auburn

76- Cowboys-D.J. Giddens RB Kansas State

Reason- We have to find a Runningback who can compliment Rico Dowdle. Giddens could be the player who could help in the running game.Giddens is 6'-1",212 lbs. He's big enough to take on a blitz which Deuce Vaughn would get destroyed.

 

[RonWashington]

Giants GM that whole team has taken a beating over letting Barkley walk to Philly . Ashton Jeanty sitting there when they pick awfully tempting but even more likely is Shadeur Sanders is taken and Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock become bad memories if Tenn hasn’t already grabbed him .

Next year Arch Manning comes out. Some teams might not want Ward or Sanders

Manning playing in Austin 2025 isnt he ? You mean 26 correct ?

 

[RonWashington]

I know Quinn Ewers has had some bricks thrown his way if he’s floating around the draft somewhere would like Dallas to have him as Daks back up and someone you train to have pocket awareness and move the chains . Clean out the QB room

 

[bleachedwheat]

Next year Arch Manning comes out. Some teams might not want Ward or Sanders

Manning and his parents have already said he won't be entering the draft next year. He will be at least a two year starter before he enters the draft.

Next years top QB's will be
1. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
2. LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina
3. Drew Allar, Penn State
4. Carson Beck, Miami
5. Cade Klubnik, Clemson
Bonus...
Taylen Green, Arkansas

5A-Rylie Mills DT Notre Dame



5B-Ricardo Hallmann CB Wisconsin




5C-Daquan Felton WR Virginia Tech



5D-Jared Bartlett OLB Cincinnati

[bleachedwheat]

Carter is more of an Overshown replacement... if they went that way.

He has a ton of range and speed, which translates well to a WLB. He works best as a free-running Will or Nickle LB.
He doesn't shed blocks well and he won't be a green dot guy; signal calling is not his game.

6A-John Campbell OT Tennessee
