@Mr. Bitter A couple of thoughts about the Miami OL situation. First, even if they are high on Paul, he was dreadful last season. Secondly, even if they see him filling the shoes of Armstead at LT, there's still a LG opening, and although Liam Eichenberg is on the roster, he's awful. Miami's running game didn't work last season because of the poor OL play. Now, I'm not saying they will go OL at 13, but if they happen to love, say, Banks, I could see that as a possibility.
Paul had his growing pains, but he was a very raw prospect and forced into the lineup too early, so that was to be expected. Just not sure if MIA pulls the plug on a 2nd-round investment that quickly, especially considering he doesn't guard Tua's blind side.
I just get the sense that the Dolphins don't prioritize interior O-line that much. Similar system to SF (who also bargain hunt at interior O-line) where the ball is out of the QB's hand in a flash. Philosophies/trends change though, so you could easily be right. The Dolphins badly need to get more physical on offense.
@fperri1097 I'm not saying that you are wrong to have him as such with your own personal evaluation, but when a guy has proven production from a major SEC school and then runs a 4.29, he's not getting out of the 1st Round. Just not going to happen. I think it's a joke that Jalen Milroe might go in the 2nd Round, but it's looking possible so I had to adjust my mock.

With you on Saints/Will Johnson. Feels like Johnson's floor.
Not sure about Dolphins/Banks. Not arguing the value, but Miami seems to be high on '24 2nd RD LT Patrick Paul.
Arizona signed NT Dalvin Tomlinson to 2 yrs/$29M, with $16M guaranteed. Could make Kenneth Grant less likely.
I think the Raiders/Jeanty hype is legit. Carroll wants a smashmouth team and Jeanty is arguably the best prospect in the draft. It makes sense.
