FYI, you have Green Bay trading up to 21 (with the Dolphins), but then Green Bay picking again at 25, their original draft slot.
Regarding the possibility of the Bengals trading up, they've literally never done that in the 1st Round since Duke Tobin has been in charge. When they traded up 3 spots in the 2nd round in 2022 to pick Cam Taylor-Britt, it was after this draft that Tobin was quoted as saying, and I'm paraphrasing: "it pains me to have to give up picks because each pick represents a chance to hit on somebody. But we felt it was right in this case." He just flat-out doesn't like to trade up, philosophically. If anything, he's more likely to trade down. I mean, never say never, but when mocking I think you have to go with the history when you're in the prediction game. This is why I'm not mocking a CB to Philly, for example. But I digress.
Guard is one of the very few positions where DEN is set. Fuaga would only make sense if they plan on releasing McGlinchey -- which would be a $46.5M dead cap hit.
Somehow, someway, the Broncos have to come out of this draft with their QB1. Singular mission.
I think Byron Murphy II could easily be the BPA on Schneider's board if available at 1.16 and would be a great pick for SEA. He could thrive in the Madubuike role in Macdonald's scheme. The Seahawks could always plug LG with Laken Tomlinson or something. Why not upgrade from Dre'Mont Jones and bring the DL from just decent to a legit strength?
Sainristil seems like a Campbell kinda guy, but I'm not sure he'd be worth that 1st RD investment for DET with Branch established in the slot. I know DET said they might move Branch around the secondary a bit more, but Melifonwu and Joseph are entrenched in 2-safety sets, and I can't imagine DET would go too heavy on 3-safety looks considering their talent/depth at LB. I mean, they just burned a 1st on Jack Campbell and he's LB3. I imagine Branch will continue to see a majority of his PT in the slot.
In your scenario, I think DET would go with Latham or Mims. That battering ram O-line has kinda become their team identity and I bet Holmes/Campbell want to keep it that way. Decker might not be around in two years. Why not draft Latham or Mims, plug one in at G for now (returning Glasgow to his deluxe utility lineman role), then when Decker moves on, move Sewell to the blindside and Mims/Latham to RT?
