Yeah. Whatever we had going into offseason; not any predraft trades.

My best guess who we take at 29

1. Nic Scourton DE
2. Emeka Egbuka WR
3. Shavon Revel CB
4. Donovan Ezeiruku DE
5. Nick Emmanwori Safety
6. Trey Amos CB

Scourton is a big end who is very athletic. He's also only 20 years old. He brings a great combination of run defense and pass rush.

I'm also interested in Jack Sawyer. Think we may even be able to trade down to get him. A monster against the run and solid pass rusher. His character, leadership and intangibles are top notch.

They may go offense
1. Omarion Hampton, RB
2. Treyveon Henderson, RB
3. Matthew Golden, WR
4. James Pearce, Jr., Edge
5. Josh Conerly, Jr., OT
6. Maxwell Hairston, CB
7. Trade Down

I am super high on both Hampton and Henderson. Golden is a burner. Pearce can rush the passer but isn't that big. Rather load up on defense and oline in this draft especially with the earlier picks.

Trading down may be the best idea of all unless there is a guy they have to have. More likely to get impactful players. Giants and Browns already trying to trade down.

7 is my choice. Based on most I’ve read, this class has like 20 first round grade guys. Then 21-to like 55 are all close in grades. Depends on our flavor.

Hairston is interesting…who knows. Best Guard available? Maybe

If they take a RB, I think the fan base would be electrified because we would be taking another highly visible/ ball dominant offensive weapon.

Also it would be a nod from the front office that they are satisfied enough with the roster that we have the luxury of making that pick at this place in time. I secretly would love a RB pick at 29

I get the impression that the FO is looking for players who are explosive and can make game-changing plays.

I've read that they would love to have a complete three-down RB who is explosive. Both Hampton and Henderson run and catch the ball very well, are known for their excellent pass protection and they don't put the ball on the ground. Hampton is the bigger back and Henderson is the home run hitter of the two.

I also read that they would like to round out the WR group with a so-called "vertical slot" player. So they've spent more time with WR's who are quick and have blazing speed, such as Jayden Noel (4.39), and Tai Felton (4.37).

I think it’s a 100% chance we come away with a RB this draft.

It's almost here. Going to be a weird draft to watch, with only 1 pick in each of the 1st 2 days (outside of a trade-back).

I love this mock. All 3 of your top picks are absolute defensive studs. I'd be happy to land any of them honestly.

[GridIron26]

I agree with the RB need, but I don't think it's worth the 1st round pick especially when we have needs in other positions. Although if there is a RB rated above everyone available when it's our turn then I suppose we should draft the RB as I believe in BPA.

[88Commanders00]

I fully expect today to be interesting, though maybe not so much for us.

My hope is that we trade down from 29 and into the Top 5-10 of the 2nd round and also pick up a 3rd or 4th rounder as a 2nd pick, in the trade.

I hope we are just spectators today and trading down for more assets. I think 29 and other late first round spots, are prime positions for teams to trade back up into first round.
Browns and Giants if they don’t trade down and take Hunter and Carter with their picks; may want trade back into first round and take a qb. Other teams in the Top 10 in Rnd 2, may want to do the same thing. Yeah, it maybe over drafting but getting a QB late in the first; gets you the 5th year option.

Right now everyone still has a pick in the first round but I expect some wheeling and dealing today. Hopefully, we are involved in that to. Have far does Sanders fall? He’s expected to go at 9 to Saints or 21 to Steelers or 26 to Rams. Maybe he falls into 2nd round. If he’s still available after 26; I can see teams wanting to trade back into first round.

It should be a fun and interesting draft tonight.

If we trade down I'd prefer future picks given that this class is thought to so weak overall.

[SkinsGuru]

My final mock . . . lol . . . i do believe a trade down or two is in the works, so here goes:

40 - TreVeyon Henderson, RB Ohio State
71 - Jayden Higgins, WR Iowa State
73 - Bradyn Swinson, Edge LSU
93 - Cameron Williams, OT Texas
110 - Miles Frazier, OG LSU
205 - Hunter Wohler, S Wisconsin
245 - Nazir Stackhouse, CT Georgia

[Meks]

The day is finally here.... for us to wait all night just to not have a pick i assume lmao. All good the draft is always an exciting time

Also can't log in on the laptop again lol
