2022 TPB Members and Pundits Mock Draft Thread

[Charge!]

Henry signed for $12m/yr = HH was right
MG signed for $8/yr = MG was wrong

it’s arguable both got overpaid although both are better than current roster

hard to tell about HH...... this new offense might have been more ideal for his skills than previous years so HH might have really starred this past year.... but no way to really know......but HH was just an average to above average TE talent wise.... solid when healthy but not spectacular like some of the elite TE's....

hopin' that MW signs for $14m, and that we offered him $10m flat.... thought someone had posted that his market value was $12.5m ??

[beachcomber]

Stingley is most likely to fall because of his injury/recovery timetable and durability. That only moves a couple (Gardner/McDuffie) up the board to replace another team's back-fill. Would you be willing to select Derek Stingley, just like Chargers did with Derwin James, oddly enough #17?

personally I wouldn't, but if he lasted 'til 17 ala DJ, could well be absurd/tremendous value.... ??

[beachcomber]

No, figuring many leave as free agents usually because someone overpays but they are rarely traded

Kenneth Murray needs to be moved/traded.... guaranteed there are other first rounders w/high promise who just haven't hit said mark for said team, and.... might be worth the gander/gambit for us ??

Agreed, Hoping he can be traded during the draft. Maybe a bottom tier team would trade for his upside giving us a proven backup/fringe starter.

Ramsey hasn’t been a pain with the Rams. And to play with Derwin would be easy. It would be a Noles secondary. It won’t happen, but I would like it.

It's hard because we need someone to impact games now
and I guess it depends on time table
If the front office considered him the a rare blue chipper that can be a fixture for years to come, I suppose I'd be okay sacrificing his 2022 season

Not sure they’re forward thinking, but opportunity nevertheless. Is Derwin worth a top 5 pick if healthy in 2018 (if healthy) I would say he’ll yeah,

1. Josh Allen (7)
2. Lamar Jackson (32)
3. Quentin Nelson (4)
4. Derwin James (17)
5. Vita Veh (12)

CB1 positional higher graded than even elite safety. Derwin did miss almost two seasons before 2021, that makes me nervous too. I’ve tried to fit CB1 into Chargers board and also makes me nervous. Which is why Staley has to get with Telesco and target FA class or possibly trade, love Xavien Howard.

That draft would give Staley the flexibility for a true 3-4 or 4-3 imo.
