Your 2nd round is picture perfect. So many ideal values/scheme fits. (Bresee/PIT, ARI/Adebawore, ARI/Tillman, CIN/Charbonnet, CHI/White, Brents/SEA really stand out.) Can tell you did your homework.
Love that Ojulari/NE pick. Everyone thinks the Pats are set at EDGE, and on the surface they are, but Judon is 31 and has no more guaranteed salary after this season. Belichick is always looking ahead to stay young and inexpensive along the front seven.
I question whether the Rams will go IOL in the 2nd. They appear to be much closer to a rebuild than playoff contention. I'm guessing they'll be targeting premium position prospects on Day 2.
@Mr. Bitter Yeah, the Rams could look at CB's or edge players for sure, if they don't like one of the tackle prospects. In this case I had Harrison go just one pick before, and Mauch is probably a guard in the NFL, so sure, I may have to re-think that one.
If Bryce Young goes #1, I think HOU becomes a wildcard at #2.
Lance Zierlein - plugged-in Houston beat who nailed the Stingley and Green picks last year - says that Bryce Young is the QB the Texans prefer, and that they could easily pass on Stroud at #2 (partly because he shares Deshaun Watson's agent). Peter King has suggested the same.
It's worth noting that HOU was reportedly calling the Bears about moving to #1 before CAR gave up that haul, indicating HOU may not be as satisfied just taking who remains of Young/Stroud at #2 as we think.
Assuming that the apparent gap between Young/Stroud and AR/Levis is real, HOU might be confident they can draft Will Anderson at #2 then - armed with the most '23-'24 draft capital - move up from #12 to grab a slipping AR/Levis.
I'm just getting the sense that things will be more chaotic than we anticipate in the top 10.
Quick question: Do you know of a source for updated draft odds/props other than FanDuel and the like?
@Mr. Bitter To answer your last question, I just see things on Twitter from various outlets.
I'd still be surprised if Houston passes on Stroud, assuming Young goes #1. There's no guarantee of being able to move back up from #12, for one thing. And trading draft capital to move up for Richardson after winning in Week 18 would look really terrible as far as the optics. At least, as I see it. If anything, if they aren't in love with Stroud, maybe they trade down, get a haul, and dip their toes in the QB market next year.
