I had trouble deciding between Wiggins and Latham for PIT. I think Wiggins makes a ton of sense. The Steelers currently have nothing on their CB depth chart beyond Porter. I'm kinda just waiting to see what the Steelers do in FA for more clarity. If they sign an economical vet like Trent Brown or something to play RT, then it's Wiggins.
The Arizona Cardinals, man lol. So hard to predict what they'll do. They always have a weird board and beyond Kyler Murray, Tre McBride, Paris Johnson and Budda Baker, every single position could use an upgrade. And I'm not completely sure they wouldn't trade Murray for the right package.
I'm beginning to think that Bowers might pop off closer to where you have him than where I do (#6). I'll be watching his Combine performance closely.
@Mr. Bitter Like Jayden Daniels, maybe this is a good sign for his draft stock. He may feel he simply doesn't have anything to gain because he's confident he will go in the top 10. And with Darren Waller not confirming whether or not he will retire, he could be more in play for the Giants at #6 than I initially thought.
In other news, Adonai Mitchell just ran a 4.35 40. Since 2015, he and DK Metcalf are the only 2 wideouts who are at least 6'2, 200 pounds, and ran that fast. I had him going at #32 to KC but that may be a little low. You'd have to imagine that Brett Veach would be licking his chops if he's there at 32.
Yeah, your 5.5 O/U estimate on the WRs is looking about right. I'll be adding another WR after MHJ/Nabers/Odunze/Thomas in my next mock. Maybe two. Mitchell and Worthy are freaks.
Here are the prospects I'm confident will go on Day One:
QB - C. Williams/J. Daniels/D. Maye/JJ McCarthy
WR - MHJ/M. Nabers/R. Odunze/B. Thomas Jr.
TE - B. Bowers
OL - JC Latham/J. Alt/A. Mims/T. Fauga/O. Fashanu/G. Barton/T. Guyton
EDGE - D. Turner/C. Robinson/J. Verse/L. Latu
DT - B. Murphy II
CB - Q. Mitchell/T. Arnold/N. Wiggins
That's 24 spots spoken for. Here are the guys who I think will vie for the other eight spots:
QB - M. Penix Jr.
WR - A. Mitchell/X. Worthy/L. McConkey
OL - T. Fautanu/J. Morgan/J. Powers-Johnson/C. Beebe
EDGE - C. Braswell/D. Robinson
DT - T. Sweat/K. Jenkins/B. Fiske/J. Newton
CB - K. Lassiter/K. McKinstry/TJ Tampa/E. Rakestraw Jr.
@Mr. Bitter I've done an updated Post-Combine mock, but I would go ahead and put Fautanu as a 1st Round lock. He may even be able to stick at tackle after his Combine measurements.
I already regret this mock, ha. At #20, instead of the Steelers taking Wiggins, I think Latham makes more sense. Then Miami takes Fautanu instead of Latham, and the Eagles snap up Wiggins instead of Kool-Aid. And the Cardinals, at #27, get Kool-Aid, as they are in dire need of quality CB's (and a lot of other things, of course).
