7 RD MOCK WITH TRADES

Anyone not projecting this?

Reese or Bailey? Jets go with the player that should have a quicker impact. This coaching staff might not get a year 3 without major improvements.

Dallas jumps at getting their Parson's clone. With Reese being available at 3, Jerry Jones pulls the trigger sending picks #12 & #20 as well as a 2027 3rd rd pick to Arizona.

1-3) ARVELL REESE-EDGE-OHIO ST
3-92) DARRELL JACKSON-NT-FLORIDA ST
4-112) DE'ZHAUN STRIBLING-WR-MISSISSIPPI
5-152) TORIANO PRIDE-CB-MISSOURI
5-177) ALEX HARKEY-G-OREGON
5-180) ROBERT SPEARS JENNINGS-S-OKLAHOMA
7-218) TREY MOORE-EDGE-TEXAS

Love over Styles here with Tennessee. It's close and coach Saleh would probably prefer the Styles' insane attributes but he understands Cam Ward needs to take a big year 2 leap at QB and sharing the backfield with a stud like Love can help get him there.

Signing Tremaine Edmunds won't stop The Giants from taking Styles if he's available. He will Give Coach Harbaugh a potential All Pro MLB that his great Ravens defenses traditionally had.

Now it gets interesting. Cleveland would prefer to trade down but with not finding a good enough return they stay put. Picking at #6 they know this needs to be an elite prospect and with 2 1st round picks they can take a risk on the injured McCoy. Pairing him with Denzel Ward would be a hell of a tandem.

Washington is in the same spot, preferring a trade down but staying pat due to lack of partners. This is a bit early for me on Tate but Washington needs to get someone opposite Terry McLaurin and Tate is my top rated WR. I wouldn't feel good with him needing to be a teams top wideout so this is a perfect pairing.

1-7) CARNELL TATE-WR-OHIO ST
3-71) SAMUEL HECHT-C-KANSAS ST
5-147) DONTAY CORLEONE-NT-CINCINNATI
6-187) ADAM RANDALL-HB-CLEMSON
6-209) MASON REIGER-EDGE-WISCONSIN
7-223) KENDAL DANIELS-LB-OKLAHOMA

This pick came down to Delane or Bane here. The Saints go with the local prospect Delane who was a close 1B to McCoy as the top CB's this year.

Kansas City desperately needs CB help but with the top 2 now gone they'll have to address this need later. Bain fell a little due to his short arms but the Chiefs are smart enough to stop the fall. He's done nothing but produce in college.

Cincinnati has to take Sadiq, if just for the simple reason to not let Baltimore get him. The Bengals would probably prefer to focus on defense with this pick but Sadiq's amazing testing numbers are just too tempting.

Downs is more highly ranked than this but falls due to not being an elite athlete and playing safety. Miami's Defensive backfield is being completely retooled and getting Downs is an neat piece of the puzzle.

I've seen plenty of mocks having Arizona take Mauigoa at #3. That's crazy to me. But getting him at #12, that's a good value. Start him at RT for the next 10 years.

Davante Adams is another year older and Puka's in rehab, how can this not be a WR. Lemon stays close to his college home and Matt Stafford gets a new weapon for one last Super Bowl push.

Baltimore lost some O-linemen this offseason and have done little to replace them so far. Fano slides inside to LG due to concerns about arm length but he could also be a long term replacement for Ronnie Stanley at LT down the road.

The rare intra division trade sees Carolina trading picks #19 & #83 to Tampa Bay for Cooper. Cooper has really risen in the scouting community during the draft process and Carolina needs to get ahead of the Jets to get him.

Tyson is the last 1st rd graded WR left. If not for his injury issues, he may have been taken in the top 10 but even at 16 this is too early. Cooper being taken 1 pick earlier causes the Jets to panic and take Tyson in the hopes that he stays healthy.
