Me, too.
OK, there have been a bevy of updates to the mocks last night & tonight. A couple of mocks on NFL.com are March/early April, but were analytics based (Frelund) or a "should do" draft, so I am not sure they get updated, as late breaking news/rumors does not inpact them.
There was some small movement in Tiers as a result.
Tier 1 5. Never Falls to #28 but would love them + 4 QBs we don't want.
QB: Young, Stroud, Levis, Richardson
DE/Edge: Anderson, Wilson, N. Smith, Van Ness
DT: Carter
CB: Witherspoon, Gonzalez
OT: Johnson, Skoronski, B. Jones
WR: Smith-Njigba
Tier 2 = 11. They fall to #28 at least once; Be happy to take them if there.
RB: Robinson, Gibbs
WR: Flowers
TE: Mayer, Kincaid
OT: Wright
DE: Murphy
DT: Kancey
CB: Forbes, Banks, Porter
That is 26 players. It is possible for them all to go before we pick at #28, bit it did not happen in ANY if the mocks I tracked. Instances of how many of the 11 were available at #28:
0: Zero
1: Twice (Gibbs both times)
2: Five times
3: Eight times
4: Three times
5: Three times
For the record, I call an instance of all of my top 22 (and the 4 QBs) being gonexas Trade down territory. Despite this not happening once, the mocks did take guys in Trade Down Territory (Tier 3), multiple times.
Here is breakdown, by Tier, of the 21 Bengaks selections:
Tier 1: Zero (by definition)
Tier 2: 14
Tier 3: 6
No pick/trade down: 1
