bfiner Mock (2025)

[*bfine32*]

I've done one this year (not counting the dreaded mock) and I usually like to get in 3 before the draft. This one looks quite a bit different than my bfirst:

RD1- TYLER BOOKER/OG  (6’5”/325)

The temptation is to go D-line on this especially exterior. Still, after Carter (DE) and Mason (DT) you get many players rated similarly, so we’ll focus on that in later rounds. TB is hands down the best interior o-lineman in the draft and only “falls” to us because of lack of versatility. Plug Booker in at LG and don’t worry about it for the next decade.


RD2: JACK SAWYER/DE (6’4”/260)

The “Modern Day Warrior” is the perfect replacement for Sam Hubbard. Same game, same school, same birth state.  Hell, he even wears the same elbow brace. Jack is never going to lead the league in sacks, even though he did post 4.5 sacks in the college playoffs alone; but he is going to set the edge, give you 100%, and pressure the QB


RD3: TY ROBINSON/DT (6’5”/288)


Ty is undersized for the interior at 288 but he’s strong. 28 reps at the combine was 2nd among defensive interior linemen. Ty may not be a full-time starter but he has shown the ability to get to the QB with 7 sacks this past season. Brandon Fiske was the best interior rookie D-lineman in the NFL this past year. Compare Ty’s numbers to his.


RD4: JONAS SANKER/SAF (6’0’/205)


Sometimes you wonder why a player is ranked so low and Jonas fits this category for me. He has good size, sub 4.5 speed and can jump out of the building. Is he productive? 107 tackles, 11 PBUs, and 3 FFs last year. Give Stone one more year to see if he returns to 2023 form, if not rise with sank


RD5: CONNOR COLBY/OG (6’6/309)


Corn-feed interior olineman from Iowa. This dude cracked the starting lineup as a Freshman at RG and stayed there. He has limited experience at RT and LG but IDC. I want a strong RG who is durable and has shown he can compete and excel at the highest level


RD6: JAYLIN LANE/WR (5’10””/191)


Special Teams demon with 4.3 speed. Excels at gunner and in the return game. Jaylin doesn’t have an extensive route tree but does great with YAC.Where could this help us? All those screens/reverses we run with Chase that seem to always go for about 1.5 yards
