@Mr. Bitter Yeah, Sanders is unlikely to be a coverage difference-maker like Edmunds was last year, but as you pointed out, Edmunds himself was a negative in that regard before 2022. Perhaps they'd see Sanders a starting the process over, as far as a youthful, potentially impact 'backer, and with Sanders, you are likely to get more pass rush juice as well. I dropped Torrence way down in this latest mock but he could be a consideration for them at 27 as well. Speaking of the Bills, I had them taking a safety with their 2nd rounder, and maybe they still could since they only signed Taylor Rapp to a 1-year deal, but I may reconsider that pick now.
As for Harrison sneaking into the 1st, if you have Dawand in the 1st (as I do), Harrison would be the 6th OL going in the 1st, and that's without Torrence, who is being commonly-mocked there. If the O/U for OL in the 1st is 5.5, I guess it's certainly possible that the 6th guy would be Harrison and not Torrence, if you like the Over. Or perhaps teams simply prefer Harrison to Dawand and then the latter slips into the 2nd.
Did you match BAL/Addison before or after the Agholor signing? Just curious. Kinda similar skill sets.
Hyatt could be a monster in KC's offense. Love that fit. I still think they go OT though. Mahomes is the franchise. Gotta keep his protection air tight.
I thought about LB for BUF. Sanders' tweener profile has me thinking he'd be a better fit in blitzing hybrid scheme like what Brian Flores runs. Honestly, I'm surprised the Bills haven't signed Bobby Wagner yet.
I doubt SEA would pass up Levis at #5, or will have Carter on their board. But I could be wrong.
You've got me seriously rethinking GB/Musgrave. You're right - Darnell Washington is a perfect fit. They wanna pound the rock. He even satisfies Gutekunst's RAS requirements and affinity for Georgia Bulldogs. I'm going to need to do some tinkering.
@Mr. Bitter I did see that Baltimore signed Agholor. I see Addison as a guy who can handle a high-volume role. A guy who can keep you ahead of the chains on 1st down, and move the chains on 3rd down. An Amon-Ra type, I guess. The Ravens would probably prefer Johnston, but he is probably not going to last to 22, so maybe they'd trade up for him, who knows, though they often just let a good player fall to them.
As for the Chiefs, if Wright or Dawand Jones were there at 31, I would have gone with either of them over Hyatt. As Anton Harrison is adept in pass pro, perhaps he could be a consideration, but I am not sure that he sneaks into the 1st. I have KC then using its 2nd rounder on a pass rusher (Ojulari), but maybe someone like Jaelyn Duncan could be a consideration if they don't go with a tackle at 31. I also wouldn't rule out a trade up from 31 to get a tackle they like, perhaps Dawand Jones.
I like the Sanders fit in Buffalo, and personally think he should go higher, but I'm trying to project picks, that's all. Lance Zierlein's player comp for Sanders is...Tremaine Edmunds.
I saw that Sanders/Edmunds comp. I'm not sure about that. I get what he's saying - both young and raw coming out. Both tall, excellent blitzing ability. But Sanders has a slighter frame and isn't as fluid as Edmunds. Like Edmunds, Sanders is suspect in coverage too. (Not counting '22, when Edmunds' coverage grade spiked tremendously in his contract year lol.)
Lotta buzz with Harrison right now. I think Wright, Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones, Anton Harrison, and Dawand Jones all go on the 1st Day. Premium position, and there's a pretty healthy gap between those five and the next tier (Duncan, Daniels, Freeland). Beyond that, it's project types. Good chance there won't be a potential starting OT available to KC if they wait to #63.
I can't see BAL trading up. (Only 5 total picks, no 2nd rounder.) Like you said, they'll let the board come to them, see if maybe teams are dumb enough to let Skoronski, Witherspoon/Porter or Bijan falls into their lap. If not, maybe they trade down to a better value range for Addison/Downs/Flowers/Hyatt.
