February picks were competitive and even better than January Mock simulation picks. I had 2 way tie with Schroomytunes and Bfine for February Challenge winners.
March Challenge is now Open.
Here are the rules: Pick one and only one mock draft to share for the month. NO TRADES. List the draft site used at top, thanks.

Rd 1. Brian Branch S Bama
Rd. 2 AA (I'm not spelling his name, we all know who this is) Northwestern. Listed as edge but I'm calling him a 3T.
Rd. 3 DJ Turner CB Michigan
Rd. 4 Jayden Reed WR MSU
Rd. 5 Izzy Abanikanda RB Pitt
Rd. 6 SirVocea Dennis LB Pitt (Good production grades on the ole Twitter)
Rd. 7 Zach Kuntz TE Old Dom
Couldn't pass on Mayer and Sanders is a steal at 60. Love Spears out of Tulane and this should allow us to sign Perine and let Mixon go. Draft from PFN.
PFF.com
Let's get our line figured out once and for all, b/c Joe is unstoppable when he has adequate protection.
1) Dawand Jones- OT Ohio State B+
2) Matthew Burgeron- OT Syracuse A
3) Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson- CB TCU A
4) Luke Schoonmaker- TE Michigan A
5) Jakorian Bennett- CB Maryland (4.3/ 40 at the combine) A+
6) Clayton Tune QB- Houston A
7) DJ Dale- DL- Alabama A
Did what i don't want the Bengals to do and went TE, then doulbed up when the local boy was there later. Had a choice between Tyjae Spears and Dontayvion Wicks and i chose the WR even though his 40 at the combine was 'wow slow'. Tall LB from Iowa that's gonna need some time. Punter in the 7th is known for hang time and touch. Not so much leg strength.

There is no way we are drafting a guy named Adetomiwa Adebawore AND one named Abanikanda in the same year.... can you imagine Lapham calling the game with these two??? LOL

When do you think was the last time we drafted 3 guys 5'10 and under? 80's? 70's?
I love Achane as a change of pace back. I'm not sure he or Schoonmaker have a chance being available at the bottom of the 3rd and 6th but both would be excellent pickups ..

Sanders at 92?
Kancey at 131?
I think something would have to be really wrong with these two in order to drop that far. That's not your fault obviously.
Sanders is my LB1 in this class, probably the worst LB class in a decade, but I like this kid a lot. I dont see how he drops to us at 60.
Kancey's combine most likely ensures he is gone mid-first round..?
Other than the unlikelihood of availability, you did good upgrading Hurst and Pratt, increasing interior pass rush and speed in the backfield.

As good a s Hodges-Tomlinson is, I really dont see Lou wanting a 5'8 CB.

Not sure how realistic, but this is the winner thus far.

Do you think we take Branch if we re-sign Bell?
Luckily, imo, Abanikanda is easy to say. AA, not so much. Plus he could just call him Izzy for short.
As to Branch, yes, depending on the contract for Bell. Worst case, you can make him a slot to rotate with Hill going forward.

If Jack Campbell was still there at 92 on pff, I would have taken him over TCU’s 5’8 Tre’Vius Hodges- Tomlinson. I didn’t see Campbell there at 60, bc if Pratt goes to FA then I’m LB shopping in round 2 or 3.
Still THT is a baller and it’s nice to have a guy like that around. A good back up for Hilton maybe bc they’re cut from the same mold.

Thats a good question. I don't have enough data to try to infer if he just prefers range for outside or if Hilton is an outlier.

Jones has the ability to become an all pro tackle, just raw right now. You have no choice but to take him.
