Here’s my most recent one. My goal was to trade around and get as many picks in the top 120 as I can. Trying to make sure I get starting caliber player at C or DE, a LT candidate with upside, and a offensive playmaker. I’m pretyy happy with this (though I lost track of all the trade maneuvering, it took 5 deals to pull this off)
36. Jaelan Phillips, DE, Miami (instant starter)
67. Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami (more 12 personnel in the cars for 21-24)
75. Quinn Meinerz, C, Whitewater-Wisconsin (will compete to start right away)
108. James Hudson, T, Cincinnati (got lucky that he was there. Developmental LT)
178. Tomorrion Terry, WR, Florida State (hopefully a starter and steal in years 2+)
208. Chris Evans, RB, Michigan (depth, let’s me get super cheap at RB in 22 and beyond)
256. Sadarius Hutcherson, G, SCAR
With a draft run like that, KC could dedicate its precious FA room to a receiving weapon like Marvin Jones and a LT bandaid like Kelvin Beachem and the usual Veach specials. [Reply]

Nobody knows shit this year.
Yeah the mocks aren't going to really be reliable until that 2nd wave starts.
All of these are "projections" which are never truly accurate anyway and even worse this year.
By the beginning of April, the guys with access to the actual teams will start with their "predictions" and a picture will emerge of who is actually being targeted. Those will end up being far more informative, as they always are. Especially when you get into the 2 week window before the draft. [Reply]

I think a lot of that access is combine week, talking to scouts and getting a feel for how teams feel about players.

Feldman dropped his today. I think that's first of the guys with real "access" sharing his picks. [Reply]
