do we have a shot at a good OL in the second, or take Addison and trade up for Avila or Tippman

Dorian Williams from Tulane will be our LB pick (later on). Great in coverage.

wow. surprising but good pick

Addison!!!

If he keeps improving, but I’m not sure he is an impact player next year.

eh pick I think

hope not Flowers or Addison

that, or TE

mazzi smith perhaps? or Bergeron from Cuse?

prob Steelers pick if they couldn’t get an OT

I’d still trade for Hop.

did you cheat??

trade up and get Sirkowaki if he falls into the teens?

Sirnoski (sp) OT should have been the pick.

Great, this sounds fun. My guesses are above in bold!

rolling with Spencer Brown is a repeat of the same mistake made with Gabe Davis last year: pinning hope for a very important position on improvement. We need guys who can do it, not using hope as a strategy here.

Avila here. We need OL upgrades before anything else. Only 1 of our returning OGs (including FAs) were in the top 50 guards. Won't cut it. Avila can play C/G or even tackle at a high level. something like 4 pressures on around 440 passing snaps last season. I'd also be okay with one of the OTs remaining here.

why wait? would fit in perfectly with some of our DEs

Anyone else trying to copy a PFF mock draft today and getting an error message that the file is "too large?" Is there a work around, or is this a PFF draft-day present?

I’m beginning to wonder if we are going to trade up for an OT.

I think the IOL will offer better value than an OT in round 2, but I agree the RT position would be a more valuable upgrade. Ideally Bergeron will be available, if not, Avila would be ideal as he can play tackle in a pinch (played RT his freshman year quite a bit).

take Hopkins, get IOL and DT/Edge in 2nd.

i hope so. The current draft picks in Rd. 1 (outside of Allen) have been underwhelming.

really don't like anyone beyond Addison at that pick from this list (perhaps Harrison). Addison would be the pick for all the reasons you mentioned. He's ready to go Day 1 and is really another WR1. Great pick. Harrison is okay, but I'd go with Wright over him. Given your simulation, I'd def want one of them here, however, if Addison is gone. Mazi Smith: we are in win-now mode, Smith likely does not help much next year, or eventually in future years. But this does seem like the classic Bean over-reach.. Simpson: pass. LB is a hole, again, we need offensive playmakers. As you said, there is likely someone in the 2 or even later rounds. The guy we draft won't need to start. Murphy: awful pick. Way too inconsistent. Mayer: would be okay with this, but only if the WRs, and OTs are gone. He's a great run blocker and would enable Josh to have dump-off passes. But really, I'd prefer an IOL like Avila or Tippman here over a TE in a deep TE class.

I can't see us passing on Wright in that situation, nor can I envision Harrison going before Wright at OT.
