7 RD MOCK WITH TRADES
REMAINING PICKS IN COMMENTS ON TEAMS FINAL PICK
Round 1
Does Detroit go with the proven veteran in Proctor or the project with awesome testing numbers in Freeling as their new LT. Dan Campbell needs production now and his coaching style will keep Proctor on his toes and in shape.
The host of the draft Steelers trade up and get their crazy drunk fans all rowdy for them to take..... a guard!! Ioane is not just any guard though as he is a local mauler that will immediately become their starting LG. Minnesota gets picks #21 & #99 in return.
19.
Tampa went out and signed a couple of veterans to play ILB but that won't stop them from getting their new version of the recently retired Lavonte David. Trading down and getting Allen here is the right move.
20.
So of course Arizona traded down to take Ty Simpson with this pick. Nah, a new safety to team with Budda Baker in Thieneman makes way more sense. His testing numbers were ridiculous.
Back to back and 3 total 1st round safeties! What's the world coming to. McNeil-Warren can help replace the recently released and most likely retired Harrison Smith.
The Chargers grab Faulk who is versatile enough to play multiple positions within their front 7 under new coordinator Chris O'Leary.
Howell put up big time sack numbers last year for the Aggies. He's a little on the light side but his abilities as a designated pass rusher justify the spot here.
I seriously considered Freeling for Cleveland at pick #6. His testing numbers are insane but the lack of experience causes him to be available at #24. Very high ceiling 1st rd picks with Freeling and McCoy for the Browns.
Kansas City makes sure they don't miss out on the top 2nd tier pick of CB's in trading up for Hood. Chicago gets picks #29 & #109 in return.
Dorian Williams in on his 4th year and they've already invested Terrel Bernard as their other LB. Hill can compete with Williams year 1 and take over next year.

This is a perfect spot for Lomu. A long term replacement for Trent Williams while he competes for playing time along other spots on the O-line in the meantime.
Another project OT here in Iheanaschor, He's going to need a year or 2 before he's ready but he's definitely worth the upside and risk here with Houston having another pick at #38.
Chicago traded down due to all the DE prospects available in this range and they're all still here. Mesidor, Parker, Young who do we go with? Young has the most potential and is a pure 4-3 DE so let's go with the Missouri product.
Miami doubles up on 1st rd DB's with Downs and Terrell. Terrell's undersized compared to some of the other CB's still available but he's also a turnover waiting to happen.
No doubt in New England's interest of O-linemen after their Super Bowl performance. Miller is a 4 year starter who can compete with old man Moses at RT right away.
Seattle would prefer to trade down but with Johnson being available and CB one of their biggest needs they stay at #32 and make the pick.
