Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your seats because we have a draft that's going to be more exciting than a yodeling man at Chipotle! Yes, you heard that right. I was waiting in line to pay for my burrito bowl when the guy in front of me started yodeling to the cashier. And just when I thought it couldn't get any crazier, he turned around and yodeled to the entire restaurant! Now that's what I call a performance.
But fear not, dear readers, because I promise this mock draft will be much more organized and coherent than that yodeling man's impromptu concert. So sit back, relax, and get ready for some serious football analysis. Or at least as serious as I can be after witnessing a yodeling performance in a fast-food joint.
1.) InTheSea - Bijan Robinson RB
This pick just got a lot more interesting. Bijan Robinson had an incredible combine. He showed his agility and quickness. His lateral movement and burst while showcasing at this years NFL combine. So why did the pick get more interesting? Anthony Richardson. Anthony Richardson showed out at the combine and is shooting up draft boards. What makes this interesting is InTheSea is in need of a QB and a RB. Which one gets prioritized? If anyone were to shock the league with the 1.01, its InTheSea. Inquires have happened around the 1.01 with teams trying to trade up. Ultimately, I think the price tag will be too high for most, and InTheSea is going to make the first overall pick.
2.) DK Have It Your Way - Anthony Richardson QB
With Joe Burrow, and the twin money bags Geno Smith and Daniel Jones already on the roster. Why on earth would Stretch Ravinal take a QB here. He won't. I think if he gets the right over he is going to move the pick and gain future assets as well as a win now player. If he does stay at 1.02, The upside of Anthony Richardson has to be intriguing. We're starring at a more athletic prospect than Cam Newton here. Richardsons performance at the combine is shooting him up draft boards. Team owner already said "You hear that? Thats Richardson breaking the sound barrier shooting up draft boards" Young didnt participate at the combine, And CJ Stroud was great. They could also go here. I think at this point, best available goes at 1.02.
3.) JMessina - CJ Stroud QB
Rumor has it they have already turned down an offer that included 3 picks (one 1st rounder) and a premier player for the 1.03. They must have someone they love. I think the safe play is CJ Stroud. He was excellent at the combine. Showing off his accuracy hitting all his throws. Bryce young could go here as well. This all depends on how he does at his pro day. These other QBs are showing out and only improving their draft stock.
4.) Under Construction - Jaxon Smith- Njigba WR
This is the most sure fire pick of the draft. Unless someone trades above Snoop Connor here, or one of the top 3 decide to scoop him, JSN will be the 1.04. As previously stated in Mock Draft 1.0, Snoop Connor loves JSN. Hes already told owners this is the pick. It is well known within the inner GM circles. His combine only solidify this. His lateral quickness, route running, and sure hands were on display out in Indy. JSN was the best receiver on a team that had OROY Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. Snoop COnnor gets his guy.
5.) Patrick and His Mahomies - Bryce Young QB
Hes 200 lbs! coming at at 5' 10" 204lbs at the combine, did young silence the haters? Not this one. Though If Bryce Young falls to 1.05 here, it could be the steal of the draft. With Patrick Mahomes at the helm, Patrick and his Mahomies will be in the QB market for sure touting Baker Mayfield as QB2 on the roster. A QB with go at 1.05. It just depends on who. If Young starts to fall, expect the phone lines to light up. Get your toilet paper ready.
6.) Philly Power Pack -Jahmyr Gibbs RB
Owner and GM Pokey Reese has already made it known that they would like to improve the RB depth on their roster going into next year. With Ezekiel Elliot and AJ Dillion (Both RB2s) as his 1-2 punch, its understood why they would be looking for more depth here. They have made it known in recent weeks they are thrilled with CEH. They are hopping for a deal to move him to a better situation around the NFL. Gibbs was great at the combine as well. Showing off quick feet, lateral quickness, and a low center of gravity. Reminds me of a young Ladanian Tomlinson. But not as good. Will be interesting to see how this pick shakes out.
7.) DK Have It Your Way - Jordan Addison WR
Prior to my knowledge when writing Mock Draft 1.0, I mustve been on the toilet when this trade went down. You know how it goes? Phone comes out, legs get numb, info gets missed. I really think they are going to trade back out of the 2 spot. If they do, they could get their QB here. However that goes, Jordan Addison would be a great pick here. He showed silky smooth route running, Tough catch radius and soft hands at the combine. His physicals dont blow you away, but nonetheless, Addison looked like a WR1 to me.
8.) Javiza4 - Zay Flowers WR
Javiza is in a great spot with his team. Sure fire and well rounded at basically every position. So there is no true position of need. If he were smart, this pick would get traded immediately for future assets. If he does keep the pick, i believe he will go woth best available. That player should be Zay Flowers. He doesnt have the height to "Go Moss" someone, but he was arguably the best receiver at the combine. He had the best hands, best body control, pure route running, and solid quickness and speed. He is an all around great receiver and think his performance warrants interest. He is moving up everyones draft board.
9.) Dmarchione - Will Levis QB
Will Levis showed off his "Cannon" at the combine. He threw with pace, zip and accuracy throughout all the drills. Levis could be a wildcard in the league. Drawing comparisons to Josh allen, Dmarcione would LOVE to add a QB here. Currently running Derek Carr as QB2, getting depth here will be essential to the make up and success of this team. Does this pick get him from Runner-Up to Champion? Very well could.
10.) ThatsMyHorse - Quentin Johnson WR
This team is in need of a QB BAD. Currently with Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Mac Jones on the roster, they are currently hoping Jordan Love can come in and be a starter. There is obvious depth needed. Only way that happens is if they trade up in the draft. Rumor has it they are trying to. In wake of this, ThatsMyHorse is currently hobbling along with injury prone WR. Keenan Allen, and Deebo Samuel have proven to not last a full year. Though they are adding coveted WR1 Calvin Ridley, Dont be surpised if they shoot for some depth here as well. Josh Downs showed out at the combine, but i think Johnson is the safer play. With is Size and speed he has the opportunity to be a true WR1 somewhere.
And that's a wrap, folks! With the draft just around the corner, the excitement is palpable. Will our predictions come true or will we be eating our words come draft night? Only time will tell.
But one thing we can be sure of is that the LA Clippers are making big moves. With state-of-the-art bathrooms in their new facility, they're truly raising the bar for luxury. Looks like owner Snoop Connor might need to take some notes!
Until next time, And remember, even if your draft picks don't pan out, at least you can always rely on a good bathroom break. Cheers!
