@Barnowl1952 It's become pretty clear that there's no chance that Freeling will be there at #24. He just has too much upside and unlike a lot of these guys (Fano, Mauigoa, Ioane), he projects as a pure LT.

@Mr. Bitter Sure, they could do that. However, Andrew Berry is an analytics guy. I'm not sure he takes someone that, in your theory, would be plugged into a guard spot at #6 overall. I think they are more likely to take someone that they like at LT, and to me that would be Freeling in this draft among the realistic contenders for the pick. If they think that's way too rich, perhaps a small trade down? Maybe Kansas City just has to have Love, for example, to jump Washington and New Orleans.

@The Champ
This draft is giving me 2018 vibes when it comes to the O-linemen. If you project Mauigoa strictly as a guard, he's a clean, plug-n-play bulldozer with All-Pro upside, much like Quenton Nelson in '18, when he was the first O-lineman off the board at 1.6. Freeling is like Kolton Miller, the late-rising LT specimen drafted at 1.15.
I could see the Browns taking Mauigoa at 1.6 as the foundational piece for the O-line rebuild (even if he's just a guard), then Freeling popping off from 1.10 to 1.13.

I think Cashius Howell would be a great fit for BUF. Fast, intense, alpha 3-4 EDGE that they need, especially with Bosa and Epenesa FAs.

The Browns traded for Texans RT/RG Tytus Howard and immediately signed him to a 3 year, 63 million dollar extension, so that'll shake things up a bit. I'll only make comments on things that changed a bit from the last mock draft that I published before the trade happened.

@Mr. Bitter
I agree with both you and The Champ for the likeliest first round pick for the Bills. CJ Allen and Cashius Howell make the most sense, although I wonder if Howell will still be available at 26.
This year's first round should be a lot more challenging to predict than recent years. Have your wings, pizza, and beer ready by 8P EST on Thursday, April 23rd for a very entertaining evening.
