I had some time last night to play around with the mock draft program. I did 10 drafts with the caveat that I couldn't take anyone more than twice so that I could create "mini tiers" of five players for each pick.
I'll tell you up front, I'm a Simmons guy, but in all 10 mocks, he went to the Giants at #4. There was some randomization of the other players, but not Simmons. In fact, Tua didn't become available at pick 6 until Mock #8 while Okudah became available as early as Mock #3.
So I put together five mock possibilities with 35 different players. I have what I think will happen listed first (which I will add to the draft guessing game thread), a Simmons mock, a Herbert Mock, a Tua mock, an Okudah mock, and then the other players that I chose listed at the end. Here's what they look like...
My prediction
1) Tristian Wirfs, OT - Iowa
2) Jalen Hurts, QB - Oklahoma
3) Cam Akers, RB - Florida St.
4) Devin Asiasi, TE - UCLA
5) Devin Duvernay, WR - Texas
6) Cameron Clark, OG - Charlotte
7) John Hightower, WR - Boise St.
Simmons mock
1) Isaiah Simmons, LB - Clemson
2) Jonathan Taylor, RB - Wisconsin
3) Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR - Michigan
4) Albert Okwuegbunam, TE - Missouri
5) James Morgan, QB - Florida Intl.
6) Keith Ismael, OC - San Diego St.
7) joe Reed, WR - Virginia
Herbert mock
1) Justin Herbert, QB - Oregon
2) Jalen Reagor, WR - TCU
3) Lucas Niang, OT - TCU
4) Bryan Edwards, WR - S. Carolina
5) A.J. Dillon, RB - Boston College
6) Javaris Davis, CB - Auburn
7) Charlie Taumoepeau, TE - Portland St.
Okudah mock
1) Jeffrey Okudah, CB - Ohio St.
2) J.K. Dobbins, RB - Ohio St.
3) Tee Higgins, WR - Clemson
4) Jake Fromm, QB - Georgia
5) Ben Bredeson, OG - Michigan
6) Alex Taylor, OT - S. Carolina St.
7) Jauan Jennings, WR - Tennessee
Tua mock
1) Tua Tagovailoa, QB - Alabama
2) Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE - Penn St.
3) Chase Claypool, WR - Notre Dame
4) Anthony McFarland, RB - Maryland
5) McTelvin Akim, DL - Arkansas
6) Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR - Liberty
7) Jon Runyan, OG - Michigan
Other players that were available that I could see happening (taken from the other mocks)
1) One of the other big three OT (Beckton, Thomas, Wills) or Derrick Brown
2) Jordan Love, D'Andre Swift, Grant Delpit, Austin Jackson
3) Matt Hennessey or Jalen Hurts
4) Darnell Mooney or Ben Bartch
5) James Proche, James Morgan, Leki Fotu, or Lamical Perine
6) Quintez Cephus, Dalton Keene, or Justin Herron
7) Charlie Heck, Stephen Sullivan, or Michael Warren
A lot to digest, I know. But it was fun. It'll be interesting to see if any of these guys actually end up being drafted by the Chargers.
