RD1- KWITY PAYE/DE (6'4"/277)


At least one dlineman has gone in the first 5 picks of every draft but one in the last 15 years. Why? Because they are valuable. We will have the luxury of picking the top prospect in this draft. KP has the twitch of an undersized tush specialist, but clocks in at 6’4” 275. Dude is a freak athlete. Ran a 4.5 for college scouts and won his state’s High School Long Jump championship. The son of an immigrant from Liberia, hard work has been fused into his DNA. I but a lot of stock in a player’s character and this guy’s is outstanding.

RD2- TREY SMITH/OG (6'5"/330)


The term beast gets thrown around too much; but take time to watch this 6’5” 330 pound child move people. Smith came to UT as a highly recruited OT but after a medical scare found his home at RG. This kid has every tool he just needs to technique help due to position move, illness, and a covid season. A little more about his character:

RD3- SPENCER BROWN/OT (6'9"/321)


To complete the right side wall for JB we bring in the 6’9” 321 pound athletic lineman. This kid came into college 100 pounds lighter than he is right now and the gains are weight room, not McDonalds. Dude has 35” arms and can bench over 500 ils. Reminds me of Whitworth; huge guy with not an ounce of fat.  

RD4- TRE’ MCKITTY/TE (6'5"/241)


Kyle Pitts will go in the top half of the first rd and rightly so, but a guy of exact build and similar skill set will drop to the 4th due to getting lost in the shuffle at UGA. Tre transferred from FSU where he was quite productive. If he performs well at the combine stock may rise.

RD5- DEOMMODORE LENOIR/CB (5'11"/202)

Sometimes you see a player and like him for some unknown reason. DL is not particularly fast or big, but he appears to be all heart. Reminds me of our own Mack Alexander or recently departed Daquese Dennard.

RD6- ERROLL THOMPSON/LB (6'1/250)

A one dimensional run defender in the mold of Josh Bynes

RD7- TRAVIS JONES/DT (6'4"/336)

Big man that's still learning the position. Played OG in High School.

EVAN MCPHERSON/K (Who cares)

We need somebody.

Looking back at my first mock last year to see how "my guys" are doing:

My first 2 picks have made the PFF Midseason All Rookie Team:

Paye is an NFL version of his college self

Obviously I was higher on Smith than NFL personnel, but I'd be good with him at #2

Spencer Bown had earned the starting RT spot in Buffalo prior to injury

Tre McKitty has made Drew Sample look like a great TE so far

Lenoir has got a couple starts in SF, but really hasn't produced yet

Thompson went undrafted, wen to camp with the Falcons, and I don't believe he's on an active roster

Jones did nothing

I got a Bengal right
