R1P12-SF: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Houston State (TRADE) w/ CLE
R1P13-CIN: John Ross, WR, Washington (TRADE) w/ AZ

LAP has spoken. After making a last second meeting with Ross before the draft, that tells you they've had their eyes on him the entire time and probably wanted to get an in person experience with Ross and get to know him more before pulling the trigger. If we can trade down and still make the pick that would be great for us.

In exchange (this is new) we received obviously #13,  as well as #45 and #77. AZ takes #9 and AJM. They are in the hunt for a QB, they miss out on Mahomes and Trubisky, so they go with AJM. Another former Bengals QB and they are in desperate need of CB help. There is no one across from Patrick Peterson, they see Lattimore falling and secure their QB in the same process of nabbing the #1 corner in this years draft.

R2P41: Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma

With Oakland securing Lynch's rights, I can see Mixon falling to
41. That was who I was worried about more than anyone, but now he may actually be there. Let's hope his boneheaded mistake is his last. He is arguably the best back in this draft. One mistake shouldn't alter your decision in taking him over something from a few years ago. We have all done something stupid. Maybe not punching a woman, but we are all guilty of something.

R2P46: TJ Watt, OLB/DE, Wisconsin

A lot of defensive talent in this draft. Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone to see a couple of good prospects drop simply due to teams other needs.

R3P73: Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State

Adding Rivers and Watt to our front seven would be amazing. Great depth and two guys who can come in and make immediate impacts.

R3P77: Pat Elfein, C, Ohio State

I think this is a fan favorite and a position of major need. I have a bad feeling the Bengals won't take a Center this year after trading up for Bodine. They're stubborn as hell when it comes to realizing this kind of stuff.

R4P116: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington

Out for four months or a year? Either way, he'll be good once he's recovered. Getting Sidney in the 4th is like trading #116 for another first round pick next year. Why wouldn't you take him?? Adam Jones isn't going anywhere... He'll definitely be gone by next year. And we'll have Sidney waiting to replace him.

R4P138: Zane Gonzalez, K, Arizona State

Get him while we can. We have enough picks in this mock to address all of our needs. And Kicker of course is still an issue. Take the best kicker in the draft. Issue resolved.

R5P153: Elijah Lee, ILB, Kansas State

Still my sleeper pick. Kid looks great on film. I think round five is a good spot for Lee.

R5P176: Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami

Could be here may not be, doesn't really matter. If we deal AJM we'll probably select another QB in rounds 4-5.

R6P193: Kyle Kalis, OG, Michigan

OG depth. Not much else to say here.

R6P217: James Connor, RB, Pittsburgh

Power back, practice squad of course, but could be used as insurance if someone goes down.

R7P227: Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida

Really stupid what he did. It amazes me. How stupid can you be? And just before the draft... Wow. With that said, it's just a round seven selection, we let him go if he can't turn it around (character wise).

R7P251: Tyrone Swoopes, TE, Texas

Who cares. His last name is pretty cool. Once QB then moved to TE for Texas. Probably won't make the roster, but whatever it's a seventh round pick.

If you're Arizona and like Mahomes, why not just trade up to 9 and get Mahomes? Why trade up to 9 just to get another CB and AJM if you actually wanted Mahomes?
