    I don’t think we need to go Guard in the 2nd round. The position looks pretty deep this year. Right now CB is looking good early in the 2nd

    Agree the Colts need CB starters now but Torrence graded very well in run-blocking and with AR as our QB and Taylor in the backfield we still will be more of a running game than passing.

    So far....

    Winner of the draft:  Houston Texans

    Took one of the top 2 QB's, and then traded back up and took the best impact defender in the draft.

    Loser of the draft:  Detroit Lions

    Blew two first round picks - took a RB at #12 when they could have taken him later, and then took a big inside linebacker.  Didn't the Colts tell them that it's not 1985 anymore?  And that you don't build your team around these positions anymore?

    Lions got 2 first round picks and 3 seconds seems like better winner to me and grabbed the best MLB with Jack

    My other team.

     

    Buffalo Bills:

     

    Pick 34: Jordan Addison, WR, USC

    Pick 52: Steve Avila, G/C, TCU

    Pick 91: Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane

    Pick 96: Henry To'o To'o, ILB, Alabama

    Pick 137: Sydney Brown, S, Illinois

     

    This draft worked well with two trades. One moving down, and another moving up. This was the best possible draft I think the Bills could have gotten IMO. 5 possible starters with limited draft capital and creative trading. Addison can fill in for Mckenzie, Avila is a starter on the O-Line, Spears will get a nice role on offense at RB, To'o To'o can be an immediate starter at ILB after losing Edmunds, and Sydney Brown is a really solid S that's an elite athlete (though there was good news on the Damar Hamlin front since this pick, which could affect his playing time in this hypothetical mock draft). I wouldn't change anything about these 5 picks.

    With P74 for the Browns I would have taken RB Spears doubted he would have been available at P98

    Here are my picks: 

     

    Texans: 

     

    Pick 2: CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State

    Pick 12: Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech

    Pick 33: John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota

    Pick 64: DJ Turner, CB, Michigan

    Pick 65: Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa

    Pick 104: Marvin Mims, WR, Oklahoma

     

    I wanted to build a solid foundation of draft picks around the Texans. This is their future. Stroud is the franchise QB, Tyree Wilson is the elite EDGE for now and when Jerry Hughes leaves, John Michael Schmitz is the top C in the draft and can fort the O-Line for 10 years, DJ Turner has 4.26 speed and can play slot for the Texans, Jack Campbell is the best LBer in the class IMO, he may not start immediately as LBer is a strong position for the Texans, but he'll fight for the job. Finally, Marvin Mims can battle to start right away for the Texans at WR. Depending on the condition of John Metchie, Mims may start immediately as a 4th round pick.

    I like it a lot, immediate starters every one of them

  5. Browns Draft Class:

    1) DL Tuli Tuipulotu

    2) LB Nick Hampton

    3) Edge Isaiah McGuire

    4) DT Karl Brooks

    5) LG Chandler Zavala

    6) NCB Jartavious Martin

    7) CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse

    8) would of been TE Josh Whyle 

     

    The Browns already have one of the best rosters in the NFL.  The offensive line is of of the best led by Pro Bowl guards Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller while center Ethan Pocic was another standout.  Running back Nick 
    Chubb has averaged more yards per carry than any other back since 2018.  Former passing champ Deshaun Watson should thrive this year with Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, new slot receiver Elijah Moore, and David Njoku.

     

    Defensively is where the Browns need help the most.  Hiring Super Bowl winning DC Jim Schwartz should help turn around a Club that finished 23rd in defense last season.  Free agency additions of DT Dalvin Tomlinson, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, and safety Juan Thornhill is a start in the right direction to make the playoffs.  

     

    After firing/replacing the Browns draftee and taking defensive lineman Tuli Tuipulotu with the first pick in Round 3 after trading away first round picks for QB Deshaun Watson with the Texans.  Already adding Dalvin Tomlinson in free agency I would personally have looked to replace free agent running back Kareem Hunt with Tyjae Spears who was still on the board.  The Browns next drafted LB Nick Hampton and am not sure of his role after the Browns resigned Anthony Walker Jr and already have a stud in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (JOK).

     

    After taking over for the Browns draft class this team is built to win now.  Selecting Edge Isaiah McGuire (Missouri) should push FA Okoronkwo for starting time immediately.  Jordan Elliot RDT is not a long-term answer and the Browns took DT Karl Brooks (Bowling Green) who excelled at the Senior Bowl and should create a solid tandem next to Tomlinson.  Backup LG Chandler Zavala (NC St) helps add depth behind Bitonio who is not getting any younger and is in his 30's.  Nickle CB Jartavious Martin (Illinois) should get the start over Mike Ford.  Martin excelled in stopping the run game and going against Baltimore twice a year is a must to help shut down Lamar Jackson.  The Browns continued to add to their defense and selected Jarrick Bernard-Converse (LSU).  Jarrick blew away his pro day and have been hearing his name as a late riser potentially being draft in Rounds 2 or 3.  He started 47 consective games for Oklahoma State before transferring to LSU.  Oklahoma State faced off with some of the best passing attacks during that time frame.  The Browns already have a solid DB group with Greg Newsome II who had a 69.1 PFF grade and backup Martin Emerson Jr stepped up with a 72.5 grade with Denzel Ward struggling this year falling off with a 56.8 grade from his 76.9 grade in 2021.

     

    Added my next draft pick that was coming up in TE Josh Whyle (Cincinnati).  The Browns are lacking a solid #2 TE behind Njoku.  Instead of Nick Hampton I would have tried drafting TE Jack Kuntz (Old Dominion) but getting Josh Whyle this late would be a great addition.

     

    Thank you for allowing me to take over for the Brown.  Had a fun time doing this even if it was for the other Ohio team I hear booed a lot around these parts living in southern Ohio.

    The lions take calab murphy edge ferris state with their final pick. This is a super deep sleeper. Remember the name. Look up his stats! Line 383 on the list

    Who?

     

    As a senior, Murphy set an NCAA single-season record with 25.5 sacks and also tied the NCAA record with 39 tackles for loss while Ferris State repeated as national champions.[ At the end of the season, Murphy became the first non-FBS player to win the Ted Hendricks Award as the nation's best defensive end. He was also named the GLIAC Player of the Year and won the Gene Upshaw Award as the best lineman in NCAA Division II and the Cliff Harris Award as the nation's best small college defensive player.
