Mock Draft 2.0 (Ginger King)
One week closer, time to update the Mock Draft. Some new faces (and quarterbacks) in the Top 10. Here’s the Top half of Round 1.
Round 1 | Team | Player | |
1 | Arizona Cardinals | Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) | QB |
2 | San Francisco 49ers | Nick Bosa (OSU) | DE |
3 | New York Jets | Quinnen Williams (Alabama) | DL |
4 | Oakland Raiders | Josh Allen (Kentucky) | Edge |
5 | Tamp Bay Bucs | Devin White (LSU) | LB |
6 | New York Giants | Rashaan Gary (Michigan) | DE |
7 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Jawaan Taylor (Florida) | OL |
8 | Detroit Lions | Christian Wilkins (Clemson) | DL |
9 | Buffalo Bills | Andre Dillard (Washington) | OL |
10 | Denver Broncos | Drew Lock (Missouri) | QB |
11 | Cincinnati Bengals | Devin Bush (Michigan) | LB |
12 | Green Bay Packers | D.K. Metcalf (Ole Miss) | WR |
13 | Miami Dolphins | Dwayne Haskins (OSU) | QB |
14 | Atlanta Falcons | Ed Oliver (Houston) | DL |
15 | Washington Redskins | Greedy Williams (LSU) | CB |
16 | Carolina Panthers | Jonah Williams (Alabama) | OL |
17 | New York Giants | Montez Sweat (Miss St.) | DE |
Instant Analysis: A new quarterback cracks the Top 10. Drew Lock is climbing up the draft boards, and some people think he’ll leapfrog Dwayne Haskins. He seems to be a good fit for Denver, and Elway is high on him…although he was also high on Brock Osweiler…and Paxton Lynch…and Trevor Siemian…and Case Keenum. Wait, are you saying former players make for lousy front office executives? Yes, I am.
Mock Draft 1.0 (Ginger King)
[NFL fan, could be you]: Where the Hell have you guys been? Aren’t you guys a little late to the draft party? I’ve seen tons of mock drafts already. How come you guys haven’t put one out yet? Kiper already has, like, 20 out. What’s wrong with you guys?
[Ginger King]: While we appreciate the mock draft enthusiasm, note this: mock drafts before free agency are absolute horseshit. Don’t believe me? Look at this tweet:
My kids don’t know their street address (or an emergency contact number), but they do know this: Free agency shapes the draft. Period. How many (pre-free agency) mock drafts did you see with Jacksonville taking a quarterback? All of them. You think that’s happening now that they just signed Nick Foles and his (allegedly) ginormous trouser snake? Da Raiders just signed Antonio Brown (and Tyrell Williams). You think they’re going to draft a receiver with any of their three (3!) first round picks??? [side note: laugh all you want at Gruden and his questionable coaching decisions…but they just acquired the game’s best receiver for a bag of chips, AND have three first round draft picks]. I’m Team Chucky on this.
And LOL at that Kiper shit. Our streak of more first round picks right than Kiper (and McShay) is guaranteed to continue. Book it.
Anyway, here’s my Top 10…just the tip for now…it costs extra to see my full mock (believe me, my full mock is HUGE. The best.). Anyway, enjoy St. Patrick’s Day (fucking amateur hour) and make sure to celebrate it the right way (blind drunk). As soon as Roid Rage gets out of his Leprechaun costume, he’ll post his Top 10.
Round 1 | Team | Pick | |
1 | Arizona Cardinals | Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) | QB |
2 | San Francisco 49ers | Nick Bosa (OSU) | DE |
3 | New York Jets | Quinnen Williams (Alabama) | DL |
4 | Oakland Raiders | Josh Allen (Kentucky) | Edge |
5 | Tampa Bay Bucs | D.K. Metcalf (Ole Miss) | WR |
6 | New York Giants | Montez Sweat (Miss State) | DE |
7 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Rashaan Gary (Michigan) | DE |
8 | Detroit Lions | Christian Wilkins (Clemson) | DL |
9 | Buffalo Bills | Jawaan Taylor (Florida) | OL |
10 | Denver Broncos | Ed Oliver (Houston) | DL |
Instant Analysis: If you were to ask me one week ago, I would have told you the Kyler Murray to Arizona talk was a total smokescreen. Now…call me naïve…but I’m totally buying this. Sure, Arizona traded up in last year’s draft to get their quarterback of the future in Josh Rosen…but that was soooo last year. New Coach new quarterback. Simply put: Kyler’s Kliff Kingbury’s guy, and if we know anything about Kliff Kingsbury, it’s that he picks the right partners.
San Francisco should take about 1 second to get to the podium, as Nick Bosa is an absolute no brainer. I also think Quinnen Williams and Josh Allen are no brainers as well. Things will get interesting at 5. Tampa could go in a number of directions, but this is Jameis’ last stand, and pairing D.K. with Mike Evans would be a solid 1-2 punch (or at least enough cover for the front office to draft Tua next year).
Speaking of a number of directions, the Giants are at 6 and everyone is screaming qb. However, David Gettelman has a plan, and that plan involves re-building with a 38-year-old quarterback. This pick (and their other first round pick) will be defense, as the Giants finally remember a long-forgotten football mantra: Defense (and Saquon Barkley) wins championships. I also think the Giants will trade for Josh Rosen. His price will only go down the closer you get to the Draft, so hold tight G-Men.
Rounding out the rest of the Top 10, the Bills luck out by the run on defensive players and grab the best tackle in the draft with Jawaan Taylor.
Also, this Top 10 assumes no trades. No way that’s going to happen. If Dwayne Haskins slips past the Giants, there’s a good chance a qb needy team like Miami or Washington sneak in to the Top 10.

The Los Angeles Rams are going to win the Super Bowl….
…and that’s not just the delusional Bills fan in me speaking. They are going to win because they are the better team (expert analysis!).
Before I dissect the reasons (spoiler alert, there’s only one reason the Rams are going to win, but it’s a big fuckin reason. So feel free to skip the next 800 words or so if you’re in a hurry or if you’re like me and the only chance you have to freely read sports articles is while on the shitter), I’ve got to throw a Tuesday Teabag at this:
Juuuust when you thought you couldn’t hate this cheatin’ kalehole anymore he doubles down on the douche. He’s leading the charge, and dropping the mic, on the ‘we’re not going anywhere underdog’ platform?! I just threw up all over the keyboard. Pre-season favorite to win the AFC. GOAT Coach. GOAT QB. 3rd consecutive trip to the Super Bowl (geez, I’m only adding to Ginger King’s argument here). But yeah, they want the underdog role too. GTFO!
Recency bias is a dangerous beast, and it’s causing NFL fans to forget everything that happened prior to the Conference Championships. The lasting image fans have of the Patriots: they went to Arrowhead and beat Mahomes and the high-flying Chiefs. Forget the fact that they played a perfect game, got a fortuitous bounce (it hit Edelmen’s thumb btw), and seemingly had every replay review go their way. And they still needed overtime to pull off the victory; an overtime that included winning the coin flip (about the only thing Belichick hasn’t found a way to cheat….yet), converted three 3rd-and-10’s, and got an inexplicable defensive off-sides that negated an ugly Tom Brady interception. It also helps when you’re coaching against a Walrus. Good God, still waiting for that defense adjustment Andy Reid. Maybe mix in a blitz or two. Enjoy those timeouts you get to take with you to the links.
And on the flipside, the lasting impression of your NFC Champion LA Rams: you don’t belong. You don’t deserve to be here. You got a free call. A non-call, which don’t get me wrong, was historically egregious, but it didn’t/wouldn’t have ended the game. Honestly, the Saints piss pour clock management (incomplete pass on 1st down) set themselves up to have to throw in that spot. The Saints, like the Patriots, won the stupid coin toss in overtime. Was that blown call still clouding Drew Brees’ judgment when he tossed that lame duck pick? The Rams caught a break, but they won that game.
So the narrative is born: The Greatest Destiny ever assembled vs. the team that doesn’t belong. And the Rams are going to have to hear that ALL.WEEK. LONG. If that doesn’t put a chip on their shoulder, nothing will!
If this game were played at a neutral location, at ANY point during the season, the Rams would be favored. Probably by a field goal. Yet, the line is Patriots -2.5 (hullo value bet!). And 78% of the money has come in on the Patriots, which means Vegas stands to make a boatload of money if one of these three scenarios plays out:
Rams win.
Rams lose by 1.
Rams lose by 2.
I think siding with the books is what they call “smart money”.
Offensively, the Rams are going to be able to move the ball. Belichick’s MO has always been to “take away the other team’s best player”. The Chiefs gameplan was a clinic. Double-team the best player (Tyreek Hill); put Gilmore in one-on-one coverage against the other team’s No. 2 receiver (Watkins); crowd the middle of the field to take the read away from the tight-end (Kelce) and make RB’s and No. 3 WR beat you while twisting and stunting your defensive linemen to generate pressure. Except, the Rams don’t rely on a number No.1 guy, they spread the ball around to Woods, Cooks, and Reynolds (who’s picked up the slack after they lost Cooper Kupp). McVay, the boy genius, has no qualms committing to running the ball (48 carries [!] for 273 yards against the #5 Dallas rush defense/ 26 carries – despite falling behind early- for 80 yards against the Saints #1 rush defense). Moving the ball and scoring points has never been a problem for the No. 3 overall offense in football. It also doesn’t hurt that they have the best special teams unit in the NFL, a pro bowl punter (who’s not afraid to fake it) and a kicker whose nickname is ‘The Leg’.
But like I said, there’s one reason, and one reason only why the Rams are going to win this game: their DEFENSIVE LINE. A nasty defensive line is the ultimate cheat code to beat the Patriots! It’s their kryptonite. It’s shooting your shot at the Death Stars’ one weakness! A stroll down memory lane shall we:
2002 | SB36 | New England 20, St. Louis 17 | W |
2004 | SB38 | New England 32, Carolina 29 | W |
2005 | SB39 | New England 24, Philadelphia 21 | W |
2008 | SB42 | New York Giants 17, New England 14 | L |
2012 | SB46 | New York Giants 21, New England 17 | L |
2015 | SB49 | New England 28, Seattle Seahawks 24 | W |
2017 | SB51 | New England 34, Atlanta Falcons 28 | W |
2018 | SB52 | Philadelphia Eagles 41, New England 33 | L |
Look at those 3 (soon to be 4) big fat L’s and tell me what they have in common. No, not that they are all NFC East teams, smartass. All the teams that beat the Patriots had sick defensive lines. Remember Tuck, Strahan and Umenyiora harassing the shit out of Brady all game long (Ginger King sure does). Last year’s Eagle line played behind the line of scrimmage all game long. And speaking of those Eagle, the Rams front four is eerie similar:
Cox = Donald
Bennett = Suh
Long = Fowler
Graham = Brockers
In fact, the Rams front four is MORE talented. Aaron Donald is the non-QB MVP of the league with his league leading 20.5 sacks (from the DT position!)! Donald consistently beats double teams with his blend of power, speed, and quickness. And if you double him all game long (which you should), you’re leaving Suh one on one. Suh is a beast…when he wants to be. Sure, he takes of plays/games/months and is the Santa Claus of dirty plays (always seemingly pulling a new one out of the bag), but when motivated, the big man still gets after it. As such, he was a difference maker in both of the Rams playoff games this year.
Sure, the Patriots have “experience” on their side, but that shit doesn’t matter. Doug Peterson and Big Dick Nick didn’t have experience last year. But they were aggressive, took the fight to the Patriots, went for it on 4th down and scored touchdowns, not field goals. Yeah, I think McVay will be just fine.
So give me the Rams straight up and let me enjoy those Gisele Bundchen tears once again!

Instant Analysis: Alright, alright, alright. My final mock draft. Changes galore. A lot of noise about Baker to Cleveland at #1, but I just don’t buy it. This has smokescreen written all over it, trying to get the Jets to trade up for Broadway Baker. If Cleveland stays put, this pick has to be Darnold. He’s the most complete package of all the quarterbacks in the Draft. Maybe Roid Rage will have the balls to go with Baker (he’s still living off his fame of DHB at 7) but my money’s on the Browns picking the surest thing.
While I think the Browns will use smart money, I don’t think the Giants will. Smart money says take Bradley Chubb, shore up your defense, and then take a running back in the second or third round. However, I think the Giants are going all-in. By that, I mean give Eli Manning the last remaining offensive piece for one more run (let’s be honest, Eli’s got 2 at least two years left, he’s 37 people, that’s not old (neither is 39, btw)). Gettleman wants a gold jacket player…that’s Saquon. Yes, yes, I know, you can find great value at running back in later rounds. Le’Veon Bell (2nd Round), Shady McCoy (2nd Round), Alvin Kamara (3rd Round), and last year’s leading rusher, Kareem Hunt (3rd Round). However, there’s also Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott, and Leonard Fournette, all picked in the Top 10 and all of whom instantly elevated their team to the playoffs. Yes, you could take Chubb, and then hope that Sony Michelle or Derrius Guice are there in Round 2. But fuck it, throw caution (reason and logic) to the wind and roll them dice!
Elsewhere, both Josh Rosen and Josh Allen slip out of the Top 10, but not too far. Bills Mafia will have no problems with Josh’s tweets, and will welcome him with open, drunken, arms. Also, if the Bills can get Davenport at 22, that would be an ideal first round. I think Arizona is as far as Josh Rosen will fall. My concerns with him are less his millennial outlook on life (read: spoiled brat hated by his peers) and more about his injury history. Two concussions in a year and shoulder surgery. That’s what’s going to make him fall.
Ok folks, that’s it from me. Time to go to my war room dive bar and get ready with some game tape chicken wings and Coors Light. We’re hours away from the biggest (non-sporting) sporting event of the year! We’ve been so geeked up about the actual draft, we forgot to even mention that it’s in Dallas! You know Jerrah will spare no expense…at the very least expect a Rhinestone stage and (multiple) Elvis impersonators.
