Absolutely terrible draft for the Dolphins, ignoring top tier OL and DBs for hype guys...grabbing two Safeties, a CB and a QB, ignoring DT completely. This draft would get Grier fired for sure.

Great mock, per usual.

Travis Hunter/NE seems a very awkward fit to me. If Hunter isn't drafted primarily to play boundary CB, his value takes a ding, IMO. 1.04 could be a trade down spot in your scenario. The Saints need a boundary corner and more juice at WR...maybe they swap with NE? 1.09 seems a proper value range for potential NE targets like Will Campbell, Mason Graham, Tet McMillan or even Ashton Jeanty.

I think Charlie's IND/Booker report might be one of his whiffs. Draft trends are broken annually, but Chris Ballard/RAS is definitely a thing. I love Booker, but undeniably bad body/bad athlete. Lot of prominent mocks have Booker sliding to the 2nd RD recently.

For what it's worth, I think the Colts will do everything in their power to come out of the 1st RD with Warren or Loveland. Ballard was reportedly trying like mad to move up for Bowers last year. IND has ignored the TE position for too long. (This assumes IND doesn't trade for Dallas Goedert - possible, given the Steichen connection.)

@The Champ 

Egbuka would be a great fit for the Steelers. I really like your idea of adding Keenan Allen, too. If/when they sign Rodgers, they may prefer Allen's experience for what could be a one-season Rodgers window. Or maybe they trade Pickens for a mid/late 2nd-rounder and get both Egbuka and Allen. PIT still has a good amount of cap space and maneuverability. We'll see.

I think PIT will draft a 3-4 NT in the first two rounds. That run defense is just not up to Steelers standards and is helpless vs. BAL's Lindebaum/Faalele/Ricard/Henry battering ram. Keeanu Benton needs to move off the nose to his natural 3-4 DE spot. I have to think PIT is kicking the tires on Kenneth Grant and Tyleik Williams.

Any of the 1st RD O-linemen make sense for the Cardinals. Paris Johnson is the only guaranteed starter on that line, IMO. Relying on Jonah Williams is especially bad business.

Yeah, coaching connect-the-dots stuff like with Justin Frye rarely pans out when predicting the draft. I gave up on that angle a looong time ago. The best example I can remember is the 2011 draft and Nick Fairley. The Titans had just hired Auburn's Tracy Rocker as their D-line coach, and everybody immediately matched TEN/Fairley because of it. I mean, you couldn't find a mock on this site that didn't have TEN selecting Fairley. When I consistently submitted mocks that had the Titans going with non-Fairley prospects (I thought Fairley was overrated), the comment section went torches and pitchforks on me. It was insane. That was also the draft where I consistently had DAL selecting Tyron Smith and had daily comment section battles with the "Jerry Jones has never selected an O-lineman in the first round!!" herd. I think I gathered about 300 thumbs downs alone during the '11 pre-draft cycle lol.

I think Josh Simmons may linger on the board longer than most think.
