Fix the trenches mock? - Jpoore - 03-22-2024
Let’s see who likes this mock?
18-JC LATHAM RT ALABAMA-a flat out PEOPLE MOVER on the right side, he’s plug and play blue chip prospect.
49-Christian haynes OG UConn-similar to Latham, plays with an aggressive tenacity and is a road grader. Replaces volson.
80- seducing van pran-c-Georgia- Ted karras replacement at center, we get a high quality center for the first time in a long time.
97-McKinley Jackson NT, Texas a and m- while he’s no sweat, he’s a VERY good NT and very good value in the mid rounds
115-Mason smith DT LSU- has dealt with injury and inconsistent play so a little bit of a gamble, but if he reaches potential, he’s top 5 3-tech in game. He could also but to be fair but him falling this far it’s worth the gamble. At worst he’s a backup 3-tech and elite athlete.
149-Zack zinter- OG-MICHIGIAN-this is more a look at 2025, as Alex Cappa should be a cap casualty with a 10.2 million dollar cap hit next year. I would slide Haynes over to right side giving the right side 2 elite run blockers and also great pass protectors, and putting a very very good LG who fell due to injury at LG to pair with brown.
194-Omar sleights-lb-lsu- a very productive linebacker in college, he’s primarily a special teamer/injury coverage.
214-tip reineman TE Illinois- a throwback te, this pick dosent make a ton of sense with sample resigned for 3 years, but value here makes it a fine pick regardless. He’s basically an extra lineman. He’s what y’all tell me Cade stover is, but nowhere near the athlete stover is.regardless he should slot in at te4
224-kimani Vidal-rb-Troy- continuing with the theme of ATHLETES, Vidal scored a 8.69 out of 10 on ras. At 5”8 213 he’s a bowling ball who has very good lateral agility. Should slot into rb3 role.all time career Troy rushing leader.
237-jaquann shepherd-cb-Maryland-good zone cb , a bend don’t break defense appeal, with good size for a boundary corner at 6”2 202.
