1. (15) Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina.
The top three WRs (Lamb, Jeudy and Ruggs) were all gone as were the top OTs so this is a good pick. The trade for Jurrell Casey reduces the need for DL but you can't have enough good ones. Other options: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU, Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU, C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida
2. (47) Lloyd Cushenberry, G-C, LSU.
Faced top DTs of the SEC and is a solid blocker. Other options: Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn, Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia, Michael Pittman, WR, USC
3a. (77) Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas.
Caught over 100 passes last year at Texas and reminds me of Emanuel Sanders - smallish receiver who just makes plays all over the field. Can also return kicks. He's a virtual ginsu knife of a receiver. Other options: Jonah Jackson, OG, Ohio State, Matt Peart, OT, Connecticut, Lamar Jackson, CB, Nebraska
3b. (83) Matt Hennessey, C, Temple.
Okay but why take him and Cushenberry both with second-day picks? Other options: Troy Pride, CB, Notre Dame, Brycen Hopkins, TE, Purdue, Solomon Kindley, OG, Georgia
3c. (95) Bradley Anae, Edge, Utah.
Nice OLB depth behind Miller and Chubb who can start someday. Other options: Justin Madubuike, DL, Texas A&M, Raekwon Davis, DL, Alabama, Van Jefferson, WR, Florida
4. (112) Darnay Holmes, CB, UCLA.
Finally a CB is added to our rather fragile group. Holmes has been a late riser on draft boards. Other options: Ben Bredesen, OG, Michigan, Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona St., K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio St.
5. (178) Robert Landers, DT, Ohio St.
A 6-1, 285 defensive tackle? He'll need to be very quick or he's a waste. Other options: Justin Strnad, LB, Wake Forest, Saahdiq Charles, OT, LSU
6. (181) Cheyenne O'Grady, TE, Arkansas.
A top athlete with more red flags than a Chinese drill team. Cool name though. Other options: Shane Lemieux, OG, Oregon, Raequan Williams, DL, Michigan St., Joe Reed, WR, Virginia
7a. (237) Omar Bayless, WR, Arkansas St.
Small school receiver that's strictly depth. No relation to Skip. Other options: Carter Coughlin, LB, Minnesota, J.J. Taylor, RB, Arizona, D.J. Wonnum, Edge, South Carolina
7b. (252) Nate Stanley, QB, Iowa.
Those QB meetings are getting crowded. Other options: Whoever's left.
7c. (254) Alohi Gilman, S, Notre Dame.
One pick before Mr. Irrelevant. Wishing he'd been a UDFA. Other options: Whoever's left.
Notes: Overall, I like this draft better than their previous one. The guy they had us taking in the second on 3/11 lands in the fifth round in this mock. I would have prefered they not use two early picks on centers and had gone for a corner earlier. A true OT might have been nice but they already have heavy investments at the tackle spots. Starting with the fifth round, the picks are just training camp flotsom.
Drum-banging WR-TE Chase Claypool goes to the Bengals in the fourth round. WR Jalen Reagor of TCU lasts until the third round. Texas wideout Collin Johnson who is 6-6 with deep speed lasts until the 6th round. QB Jordan Love, who some have making the first round, falls to the Jags in the second. Grant Delpit and Leviska Shenault also fall to the early second.
I thought we gave up one of our sevenths during a free agency trade. Am I mistaken?
Ok, boys and girls. Have at it.
