2 in 1 Mocks

The second one is... overwhelming lol. So many picks! I would be surprised to get that much compensation for Dalton, Glenn and Kirk. But I would welcome it. I think the Miami trade would go down as one of the worst ever (for them) To trade up to 1 just to take Tua while we get Burrow at 5 would be like handing us a free 1st rounder. Again wouldn’t complain. No one can deny that would be a huge influx of talent to our team.

Yep, no matter what we do, we need to protect him.
With my roster, we were only entering the draft with about 4-5 OL (with 2-3 sure starters), so I wanted it LOADED up and have strong depth.

Biadasz has the desired G arm length and should be able to make the switch pretty easily. In the first mock, I would have him at RG (Jordan LG), but in the 2nd mock, I think I have Plenty of OL to  let him stay focused at being an NFL center (unless all the guys I drafted to fill the RG position suck lol) and either beat out Hopkins or be the backup for a year.

And yes in real life I wouldn't risk missing out on Burrow at 1, but in Fanspeak, you can always get a "do-over" if you don't like the way the round went.

Not sure that the teams in front of us would want to give up their spots. Most need Defense in a bad way. Chargers would be my biggest fear, but that depends on what they do in Free Agency, if they pay big bucks and get a Vet QB then they would no longer be a threat to move up for Burrow.

Yep, in reality I would.

Same, in my case no one fell that I liked for us, so I moved back. As you saw, Biadasz was my target in both for the 2nd round pick and I got him even when I moved back.

Really all I care about in this draft is find an LB and get an OL to protect Burrow, but I'm fairly confident that we will go after some FA's this year. MB is not going to be around a lot longer, and he doesn't want to give Katie a team that can't do better than .500. So I'm hoping the pressure of all of that is taking it's toll on him so he will do more of what needs to be done to get us back over the hump faster.
