Really depends on if our young tackles develop, but I like taking on early if it's still a need.
Taking a tight end early also really depends finding out what we have in Kroft and Uzomah, but it could be a need if we see Fumagalli as that much of an upgrade. I do like his size and I think Wisconsin's offense translates well to the AFCN style offense.
Don't really like taking a backer there since we have Burfict and Minter and normally only play two backers.
There's a two or three centers that I'd take in the third or fourth round that would make me like this draft a lot more.

That's because you're still focused on this past years weaknesses. Let's see where we are at the end of this year.

OT still a need. Winston is old and bad... Ogbuehi and Fisher need competition
TE is a need, nearing the end of Eifert's contract as well as sub par play from Kroft and Uzomah
LB is a need, Minter is on a 1 year deal, Burfict has been ouchie
CB is a need because PacMan is old and outside of Kirk we have a lot of unproven players
G is a need because Andre Smith is not the long term answer...

But this is still all based on right now. If Ogbuehi and Fisher play as well at Whit and Zeitler did you wouldn't think they needed competition, but they would still need a backup. Tight End might not be a need even if Eifert walks. Uzomah needs more experience and we know nothing about Schreck. Minter is on a 1 year deal, but that doesn't mean he won't be back with us next year before the draft. Burfict has been hurt some, but when he is on the field he is one of the best. Because of the unproven players CB is a need RIGHT NOW. After this season we should see who else can play. We have many supposed to be capable players on this roster. And yes, G is a need because Andre will get hurt in game 3.

But that's the point of doing a mock this early. Making the assumptions based on this past year's trends.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
