We all understand this is pure fantasy mock without consequences in real life, for entertainment purposes only. I know I’ve enjoyed being part of this group even though if it’s been only short while.
My philosophy doing mock drafts is to let board fall where it will and select BPA @ position of need. This year for Chargers they can’t risk trading out of #13 unless top 3 tackles are off the board, most likely Darrisaw and TT has to select him. Chargers need best available, plug and play LT period.
Seattle - Have three picks in 2021 Draft and only able to select one #56. James Hudson, LT, Cincinnati 6046 313lbs.
I realize he didn’t test well or have high RAS score, but love his tape. His arm length is only 33” but his hands are large over 10 1/2” and he uses every inch of it in pass pro, actually as good in technique as Darrisaw, he just lacks measurable. However, one thing he does exceptionally well besides pass pro is he finishes plays/player he is engaged with. Might seem like reach here, but the plug and play, technically sound LT prospects were off the board (others still on the board more projects).
Very familiar with Duane Brown, one of the better draft selections in Texan history, think he was graded in 2nd rd. But Houston needed a LT and he was best available still on board. Worked out really well I’d say and that’s who James Hudson comp to me is. More compact physical tackle with good feet and nasty disposition. Projected this will be Duane Browns last season, with Wilson or not, Seattle would be wise to groom his successor. Remember Brown had to start his rookie season and struggled, wasn’t until year two he blossomed into the franchise LT hoped for when selected. Felt this was opportunity for Seattle to address this critical need moving forward and excellent spot for Hudson to land.
