2022 TPB Members and Pundits Mock Draft Thread

[Formula 21]

13 and Tevi for #7. Throw a player with great upside in.

In that case, we would have TWO holes at OT...I think we need to go OT @#13, double dip at OT later somewhere, and sign at least an average OT in FA...on the cheap...

I think we have our future RT in Feiler. Apparently, he was better at RT when with the Steelers. Should Bulaga go down, I believe they would give Pip the first crack at RT. If he couldn't handle it, then I think Lombardi wouldn't hesitate to move the experienced Feiler over there.

So, if that were to occur (Feiler moves to RT) you would need another LG... which I believe is a smart position to draft. Luckily, a LG is a little easier to draft in middle rounds. I can see 3-4 players (round 4) that would make very good guards. Of course, I'd love to develop them for a year... but I think they're good enough to fill in fairly quickly. I think they'd be better OG's than Pipkens would be an OT.

LT- Darrisaw
LG- David Moore (4th round)
OC - Linsley
RG - Aboushi
RT - Feiler

I like the look of that. And would love to see them starting as a unit in 2022.

What would you guys think of a trade down with BAL?
27 & 32 for 13 & 97.

IMO, Brown is a 1-year rental. They looked at their failure in the Super Bowl, looked at their OT roster spot, looked at #31 draft slot... and realized there was no long-term solution. With this trade, everyone gets what they want. KC gets a 1-year LT. Brown gets to showcase his ability @LT. And the Ravens get a couple draft picks for a guy they were going to lose anyways.

Now seems like a good time to re-visit the questions... Can Orlando Brown Jr. play left tackle in the NFL...? Was he a 1st round talent...?

I don't think Brown has an effect against the TB rush. He's not a true LT or the Ravens would have paid him as one and let him play that position. I'm in love with this pick-up by the Chiefs. Grab a guy who can't play LT and pay him enough that forces you to put him on the field. I'm glad we didn't make the same mistake.

I'd walk away from the draft without complaints. I don't think we're one year away. Even with the line upgrades, we still don't have much of a running game. We need a couple of drafts to fill in the gaps. This year should be about drafting the positions that need a little time to mature. LT. CB.

I love Fehoko.

But with the limited picks, I’d be bummed we didn’t address edge. Bosa plays hard and gets gassed in Q4. Need an edge to give him occasional breathers.

Like the idea but think there’ll be better (more NFL ready) OGs in R4 than Moore. Dude’s good but so raw.

What makes you think that? He played LT at Oklahoma. Then when Stanley went down he played LT most of last year. PFF gave him a grade of 76.5

Eh... pick whoever you want. There are a number of them. I like Moore because he has really long arms and is mean AF.

The Athletic beat writer’s joined forces to create a 2 round mock. Here’s what happened:
13. Los Angeles Chargers: Rashawn Slater, T, Northwestern

It’s the Chargers’ dream scenario. Slater is a no-brainer pick for the Chargers, who had one of the worst offensive lines last year. They addressed three needs in free agency by signing All-Pro center Corey Linsley and guards Matt Feiler and Oday Aboushi. But they still have a “hole” at left tackle, as head coach Brandon Staley described it. Slater is a polished prospect, even if his arm length eventually forces a move inside.

38. Los Angeles Chargers: Eric Stokes, CB, Georgia

Trade: Cincinnati sent pick Nos. 38 and 111 to the Chargers for Nos. 47 and 77.

The Chargers need to find a starting corner in the first two rounds, and waiting for pick No. 47 might be too late. As soon as Samuel went to the Jets, I started considering a trade for Stokes, who has the size, speed and inside-outside versatility that would make him an ideal fit in Staley’s defensive scheme.

Picks 1-12 went like this:
1. Lawrence
2. Wilson
3. Jones
4. Fields
5. Chase
6. Pitts
7. Sewell
8. Lance (NE trade)
9. Parsons
10. Surtain
11. Ojulari
12. Smith

Might actually like this mock better than my own.
