2022 TPB Members and Pundits Mock Draft Thread

[Topcat]

The Falcons could actually end up being a good trade partner for us. Ninja may be onto something here. Falcons need Edge, secondary and RB especially. If they trade with us, Horn might be there at #13 for them. Several good edge rushers should be there also, not to mention RB. Edge and RB also in round 2 and 3. The the chance for an extra 2nd and 3rd rounder could be tempting for them...

So pick 185 from TEN is via JAX?

[Bolt Dude]

Moving all the way up to #4 overall would be a 650-point difference...that would require #13, #47, #205 and #185...would you do that deal? Mighty tempting...

Value charts be damned.

Moving up to #4 would take that much PLUS future high round draft picks. Why? Supply and demand. Other teams would throw in future 1sts, we’d have to match, and that’s just the beginning of the bidding war.

I’m not entering a bidding war for an OT if the other bidders are seeking a QB. That’s like bringing a rubber chicken to a bazooka fight.

No thanks to that.

If ATL wants a QB they wont trade out. If they want Pitts, they wont trade out.

Don't want to sell the farm with multiple future 1st rounders like the Niners did with the Fins...but if the only offer the Falcons get is from us for our 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th round picks, it might be worth a try...

If ATL is willing to trade out they will get better offers LOL. Thats QB territory. That isnt close to what they will get offered.

NE wants a QB bad so does Carolina though i think one of those could end up trading for Darnold and ill mention Pittsburgh.
Maybe they trade for Darnold. Id mention Watson but he has to clear his name in the Happy Ending Gate. Pitt has been very quiet throughout this QB talk.

LOL. If there’s one NFL owner who’d understand and forgive Watson’s Happy Ending Gate it’s Robert Craft. Coincidentally, he’s also looking for a franchise QB.

Maybe they have something to talk about...

But seriously, let cooler heads prevail.

Sewell would be awesome, but our only legit chance is if he gets past the Bengals. Let them make their own mistake (I bet they will).

And if Sewell gets within striking distance...pounce like a jungle cat. Not like a bengal, or even a lion...like a puma—a puma with fucking rabies.

I recently watched a couple of Bengals games from last season and I came away thinking they really need help at the interior of the OL. The pressure up the middle on Burrows was really fast. They need to fix the iol a lot more than they need a OT.

Sounds like Slater time...

I've been saying this for 5 months now.
They paid for Riley Reiff (only 1 year for $7.5 million). He's just a stop-gap for them... not a long-term plan.
If they drafted the consensus best non-QB player @#5... they'd put him at their #1 PON (LG) for a year and let him slide to OT the next year (when Reiff leaves).
In the 2nd round, they fill PON #2 (RG) with an Ohio State Buckeye (Wyatt Davis) and the OL fix is done. Franchise protected.

LT Williams
LG Sewell
OC Price
RG Davis
RT Reiff

QB Burrows
RB Mixon
WR Boyd
WR Higgins

LOL! That lineup would be dangerous...

[Boltnut]

BTW... I'm not using early round picks to move up to #4 or #5 (or any of the other spots 6-12).
We have needs: CB, S, Edge I'd like to address with those picks.
This is one of those rare years where PON and BPA intersect @ LT. Take Slater or Darrisaw and then move on the BPA in rounds 2-4 (4 picks).
