She is willing to make some tweaks, as in restricting the model to QBs for SF at #3.

Results:
Jags = Lawrence
Jets = Slater
SF = Wilson
ATL = Kwity Paye
CIN = Sewell
MIA = Pitts
DET = Chase
CAR = Lance
DEN = Fields

Just thought it interesting that the computer thinks OL help gives us the biggest boost (and the Jets). Computer liked Slater's ability to play G&T.

Very cool indeed.

What would certainly kind of toss all the mocks and guessing games out the window is if the Jets decide to stay with Darnold and build around him. They certainly could use O-line help as well as WR help.

If the Bengals find themselves on the clock at 5, and the Jets took Chase at 2 and Atlanta takes Pitts at 4 all of the sudden, there is 2 QBs on the board that Carolina, New England and Denver are going to want to come get.

Imagine moving back to 8 in a trade with Carolina, and taking Slater in round 1, then having back to back picks at the top of round 2, and getting Pat Freiermuth and Terrace Marshall Jr.

That would actually really build up the offense in one draft.
