Mock Draft 2.0 (Ginger King)

Happy Mock Draft Friday (yes, I just made that up). We’re back with our latest mock. Lots of changes to the board. Let’s dig in.

Fernando’s a lock (obvi), so no need to talk more. After that, it’s choose your own adventure. Jets may flip a coin between Arvell Reese and David Bailey. Honestly, flipping a coin may be a better strategy than leaving it up to the Jets war room. Anyway, Reese’s upside may be too much to pass up. Defense is going to reign supreme in the Top 10. Lots of chatter about Caleb Downs to the Giants at 5. Not sure I buy it, but the Harbaugh loves Safeties chatter is loud. Elsewhere, big change with receivers as Makai Lemon comes in as the first receiver off the board. The Carnell Tate slide begins. He wasn’t WR1 in college. Think about that. Also, Kansas City may flip a coin between Jermod McCoy and Mansoor Delane. Delane is by far the safest pick, but McCoy has the biggest upside. Chiefs always seem to strike gold with corners.

Besides Tate, Reuben Bain and his T-Rex arms also slide out of the Top 10. Bain’s floor is the Ravens, which seems to be a perfect fit. Jets are primed to (flip a coin) and pick a receiver at 16.

I am sold on two things: rising taxes, and the Lions drafting a tackle at 17. The Kenyon Sadiq rise is real, and could keep rising. Big change: Ty Simpson jumps up to the Steelers. Why? Have you looked at their qb room (with or without Ayahuasca)?

Browns would get an A if they end up with Mauigoa and Omar Cooper, Jr. Cooper instantly becomes WR1 and give heir “Pro-Bowl” quarterback a much needed weapon. Lots of talk about the Bills trading out, which may happen if Ty Simpson slips and someone wants to jump back into the first. Not that they need a reason, but Bills Mafia will crack another Blue Light in disgust if they don’t draft a receiver. However, there are other holes to fill, and Mesidor may be too tough to pass up. Defense (not Josh Allen) wins championships. Patriots seemed primed to give Drake May a weapon.

We’re inside of two weeks. That means more mock drafts for you. We’ll be scouring the wire to keep you up to date with the latest.
