2022 TPB Members and Pundits Mock Draft Thread

[Parcells]

so i don't do many of these mock game simulators, i don't have a paid account and I don't really know how to post em
but here is a decent haul i'd like to share and get some feedback

13. Darrisaw (we all basically have a formulated option on CD at 13 by now haha)
47. Greg Rousseau EDGE (i'm impressed but I don't think many others are)
77. Jevon Holland S (stud, no need to comment, I love this guy and would maybe use our 2 on him)
97. Tyler Shelvin iDL (under rated imo)
118. Trill Williams CB (a TPB fav)
159. Tommy Kraemer RG (had to find a ND guy)
185. Simi Fehoko WR (another TPB fav)
198. Chris Evans RB (great value i think)
241. Shaun Beyer TE (developing nicely, has tools)

think thats good value overall, but if anything really sticks out good or bad, let me know
TIA

Draft pundits have Rousseau slipping. I don't know why. If we landed him at 47 I'd be stunned and ecstatic.

Honestly I don't want him. No twitch is no twitch in any round. At #47 or even better, #77 give me Joe Tryon.

Just not sure what his projection is but it's one of those.

I’d rather have Elerson Smith at #97 than Rousseau at #47.

Tryon should go round 1. Getting him @#77 would be fantastic. He is my target @#47.

Where I see Rousseau being a fit is at 4i
Honestly I'm still a bit confused about the Staley D
But I thought he had a 34 DE lined up on the inside shoulder of the RT or LT to have single gap responsibility
I figure this is where Tillery willl be and figure we needed another, to keep Bosa strictly at edge

He racked up 15.5 sacks in the ACC in 2019. That sort of production two impressive.

Although I just looked up a bunch of the highest single season sack totals in the last twenty years. A majority of the guys were players I've never even heard of. But many came from smaller schools playing against lesser talent. In the ACC, Rousseau was playing against legit talent.

I remember five years ago being against taking Bosa at 3 because I didn't think he had the athleticism to warrant the third pick in the draft. Glad I was wrong.

One of the things I've heard about Rousseau is that he's a high motor guy with impressive length.

Question is......how did he get those sacks/TFL?

[dmac_bolt]

Shelvin’s the one I don’t like. From everything I keep hearing about Staley’s D, the name of the game is versatility. I just don’t think Shelvin’s got it. I think Staley’s gonna look for more athletic types to fill his front. To me, Shelvin’s a dinosaur from the old school. He’s a monolith, but he’s not dynamic. Too fat, too slow, not enough pizzazz.

I don’t know if Shelvin is good enough to take at this spot given he had one year of play (notably a NCAA Champ year with Burrow), and then opted out last year. But I have been reading experts explain for at least the last 5 yrs why the prototype NT is a dinosaur and no longer usable in the “modern NF:”

In the meantime we’ve watched our IDL get mauled and abused with smaller “modern” DTs. A great NT imo is akin to a great LT or a great man-cover CB - they will never go out of style. Give me a 2 down down dinosaur that either clogs the middle of the field from rush attack or requires 2+ blockers to neutralize him and I’ll take that

Because he didn't use his time off effectively, in his Covid opt out, and came out very flat at his pro day. Jaelan Phillips made him look slow and ridiculous, working out beside him...it was really that bad. Maybe you can find the workout on youtube.

I am not sure I agree,

Why do you see him as a 4i?

I see him make plays in space with his movement skills being what make him special. I don't see how that skill translates to being a 2 gap player (any even technique is a played with 2 gapping).

Also, why would we spend such a high pick on a support player? You can get 2 gap DT types much later (middle or bottom) of the draft.

As far as TIllery and Jones go, both will be tried as interior players, because that is how they have been used, and both have played both NT and UT, so they have basically been playing DE in the 34 already.

im not sure I agree with myself either haha

I figure Staley would try to salvage JT while he’s here for relatively cheap to see if there’s a role for him in his D. I’m less ambitious for JT than you but believe me, I’m probably his biggest fan left here so I’m hoping to see him find a bigger and more effective role in the middle.

I might be wrong but I thought Staley’s 4i was a single gap penetrating role, at least most of the time. I figure he would fit there by beating tackles on the inside

doesnt have the bend to live outside and doesn’t have the ass to stay inside, not consistently at least.

Ultimately I think he was drafted as an interior passrusher and if I’m understanding you right, that’s how he will likely be used?

if so, where is he in base formation?
