Not too shabby. #107 is the 2nd pick in the 4th round. That's actually a pretty decent pick.
Agreed!

Basically got a late third with that new 22 pick.

Now, I'm hoping that someone in the 4-12 range wants to trade up to the third pick for a QB and that we get an extra 1st for next year too

A 3rd round pick… what could go wrong?

If people are sold on Malik Willis like mock drafts seem to speculate, that could be entirely possible. Both New York teams already have 2 high picks, so picks #4 and #5 might not be on the table. So for a team (Seattle?) to jump Carolina, #3 seems like a logical landing spot.

So having fun with the PFF draft simulator. I didn't force any trades, but I would be happy with this scenario

That doesn't suck. At least not yet.

I wonder if Atlanta would try and jump up to #3 to get Malik

Hope we can get a bidding war going to grab an extra 1st next year without dropping out of the 10 top.

If teams are really sold on Willis, I could see Carolina, Atlanta and Seattle all try to move up. I'm just not sure I buy that teams really want him at this point. Then again, I didn't think Mitch Trubisky, Trey Lance, or Zach Wilson should have been top 5 picks either.

My gut says he's gone at #6 if on the board. Carolina will take him

Don't sleep on the giants either. No one has brought them up but they could surprise at 5, Daniel Jones hasn't established himself as anything and that division is weak at QB.

What I'm curious to see are the QB needy teams that pass on one so they can suck next year and take a shot at getting Bryce Young or CJ Stroud next year.

I agree, every year teams reach hard for QBs, so hopefully everyone knows Carolina will snag him. Cause then that #3 pick becomes very attractive (assuming no one jumps to #2 of course).

This tool is a lot of fun. Happy with my first round, but then got a little too focused on defense... Only did three rounds though.

What about...

ATL - #3
HOU - #8, one of the 2nds and Terrell

I doubt Atlanta would give up Terrell in a trade scenario that didn't include Watson, unless we just straight up traded him for #3.

lol, I thought it was an actual mode.




Here's another scenario that I would be excited about. Getting a 1 next year and still getting Walker would be crazy.

Correct.

It takes into account their Christian rating and adjusts picks accordingly.

I actually think that extra 4th is a pretty good pick up. That gives Texans 107 and 108 together, which seems like it might be good for Nick to trade up into the 3rd if he sees a guy falling he likes.

It is exciting to look forward to the draft this year. We have a ton of picks including 1st rounders and almost a blank slate in terms of who we "need".
IrishAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I agree completely on both points But yeah, this had really renewed my interest in the draft this year.
Texan_Aggie

My hope, however far-fetched, is that the QB hype machine starts up again and a team like ATL/SEA thinks Carolina is primed to take their QB and trade up. I don't see a big difference between 3-10 for the Texans, you should get a good player for whatever position is available. But would be nice to get another possibly Day 1 pick to move down...

At least on Twitter I see people trying to make Malik Willis a thing. Hopefully someone buys into the hype

I sure hope a team wants him enough to move up to #3. He has pretty good mechanics from what I can tell, but he's got to eliminate pumping the ball before each throw.

Now i may be well out of touch with College sports compared to a few years ago but today is the first day I have ever heard of Malik Willis.

I can see NYG, SEA, PHI, or ATL swapping their 1sts and giving a 2nd to draft Willis. All 4 have picks inside top 15, although Philly may have to give up a late rounder to even out with the other 3. Id take that in a heart beat.

He plays for Liberty but has been getting more and more hype over the course of the offseason.

I can't speak to him as a prospect but he seems to be the hot name on social media. Draft guys like Kiper seem to like the Pitt QB more
