2022 TPB Members and Pundits Mock Draft Thread

[like54ninjas]

One draft scenario:

1. JAX: Trevor Lawrence
Duh.

2. NYJ: Zach Wilson
Double duh.

3. SF: Justin Fields
Could go Jones, but coach loves Fields’ athleticism. Could go Lance, but Fields is more NFL ready.

4. [Trade] ATL—> DAL: Kyle Pitts
Jerry Jones wants Pitts, and at 78 years old, Jerry gets what Jerry wants. Or else your fired. Cowboys management obeys the law of Jerry. They trade #10, a 2022 1st, and a 2021 3rd to make it happen.

5. CIN: Ja’Marr Chase
Bengals make Burrows happy and address the OL in the 2nd & 3rd.

6. [Trade] MIA—> DEN: Mac Jones
Phins were targeting Pitts or Chase but the Cowboys blew up their plans. They activate the emergency contingency and trade back again. DEN parts with #9 and a 2022 2nd to grab Lock’s replacement.

7. [Trade] DET—> LAC: Penei Sewell
This is a tough spot and LAC has to bid against a few teams looking for that last QB. Chargers have to slightly overpay to get their guy. DET is in rebuild mode and they want a 2022 1st. LAC acquiesces and gives up #13 and a 2022 1st to get their LT for the next decade.

8. CAR: Rashawn Slater
Panthers are a little butt-hurt to come so close in the Sewell sweepstakes only to get ousted at the last minute. They grab Slater as their consolation prize.

9. [Trade] MIA—> NE: Trey Lance
What, the Dolphins trade AGAIN? Yes sir. They fleece the Pats for #15 and a 2022 1st. Pats grab the last QB and let him develop under Cam for a year.

10. ATL: Jaycee Horn
Falcons address their dismal defense and grab a local talent with a higher upside than Surtain.

11. NYG: Patrick Surtain
Giants are happy. They’ve got Surtain as CB1.

12. PHIL: Jaylen Waddle
Philly loves those slippery WRs.

13. DET: Kwity Paye
Lions get a local product and the best pass rusher in the class. Instant upgrade to one of 2020’s worst defenses.

14. MIN: Christian Darrisaw
Vikings replace Reiff and grab a bulldozer for the run game. Dalvin Cook goes for 2,000+ yards in 2022.

15. MIA: Micah Parsons
What a journey. The Dolphins are smiling like Cheshire cats. After all those trades they still land a top 10 talent. They’ll target Devonta Smith or Bateman at #18.


*The complete Chargers’ draft:
1. Penei Sewell, LT
2. Richie Grant, DB
3A. Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB
3B. Tommy Tremble, TE
4. Elerson Smith, EDGE
5. Robert Hainsey, OL
6A. Simi Fehoko, WR
6B. Jared Goldwire, DL
7. Avery Williams, NCB/ST Returner

I’d be extremely pleased with that draft.

[Bolt Dude]

That's the mock, Dude !
No RB eh ?
But I see what you did there,
top to bottom.

"Get the Funk Out."

[Bolt Dude]

I’d be extremely pleased with that draft.

I think the scenario and the picks are both realistic.
We could go Holland/Richie in R2
Melifonwu/Adebo in R3A
Tremble/Long in R3B

The Fehoko pick in R6 might be a stretch. My alternates are Imatorbhebhe, Adams or Camp.

That is a killer draft. Question...do you go ahead and throw Mel out there at outside CB to start....or maybe bring in a vet like Sherman as a transition...we need the depth anyway?

Throw him out there.

Renner claims Adebo is Zone centric.

One thing about Adebo, and maybe Im nitpicking a bit, but I saw a highlight reel of pass breakups, where he never turns his head around...he just reaches out, or runs into the receiver as the ball arrives....honestly looked like a lot of pass interference to me...he will need to be coached to turn his head as he closes, and find that ball...if not, that will definitely get called in the pros.

Long strider.
Stiff hips.
Great at catch point.

If BDude’s draft were to happen (YES PLEASE!) our DB depth chart would look like........

MDavis, CHJR, Melifonwu, R. Smith, Faycson, A. Williams - last/current year UDFAs
Derwin, Nasir, Grant, Gilman

That is a pretty damn good looking secondary.

Goldwire on day 3 is a solid move if not a complete steal of a high upside IDL prospect.

Hopefully it will be 0-1 ND prospects selected by the bolts.

Jake Funk, UDFA

Well, it's just me but I doubt we wait for a UDFA. He could be had as one, even by us but I still think we will draft one by round 4, no doubt.

Too risky to not draft one with this injury prone group and wait for a UDFA,... That we may not even get imo.
