Oh shit. Right.

No worries, man.

Apologies, boys. I'm plugging back in after being on vacation last week. Still on Island time/thoughts over here.

Alot of the Kayvon Thibodeaux stuff is fake news between draft fatigue and teams fishing IMO

Sorry for the delay. I’m at work

The Atlanta Falcons select Sauce Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

Sauce vs. Stingley is an awfully tough choice.

At worst you probably made it for me. But man, I just don't know how you choose between the two apart from the medicals. Because man, when Stingley is healthy he's just so damn good.

But Gardner's no slouch in his own right. I was leaning Gardner as well, but it's hard to overlook what Stingley did as a freshman before the feet issues. Then again, it's awfully tough to overlook the feet issues given what we've seen with guys like Watkins. Sammy just never bounced back all the way.

The medicals scared me off just enough to go in this direction. Plus, I love the way Sauce plays and his size allows him to smother opposing top WRs.

I’d rather have been able to get a top end WR, but I’m not a fan of any of these guys as a top 10 pick with the exception of Williams before the ACL tear.

The Denver Broncos select David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan

If you can't get the QB you want, you get a guy that can wreck them.

The Jets select: Travon Walker, DL, Georgia

{lights cigarette}

And I'm spent, lads.

Neal and Walker - lord. I could let Clay run the rest of the Jets draft and it would be a home run.

Had you gone Walker I was probably going Ojabo. Stingley's medicals just terrify me.

logged back in to send nut a pm and he's already rollin, sorry bud middle of a online gaming adventure :D

The Commanders are kind of locked into this pick. I would have preferred Willis to fall to 11 but thought he probably wouldn't make it by the Broncos at 9.

The Washington Commanders select Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh

Small hands? Who gives a shit when you literally don't have a starting QB on the roster. No....Taylor Heinicke doesn't count. Pickett can come in and compete....and probably win the starting job day one.

There’s really not much else you can do for a team that desperately needs a QB.

I have 3 of the next 8 picks, and I have a plan. Please don’t **** this up for me guys!

Great pick I was debating between him and Thibs at 3

Last year you had a hit rate of ~90% stealing my picks... I owe you some pay back.

Ugh. Feeling like a reach on this one, but I have to do it, I think. Roll the ****ing dice, bitches.

The Minnesota Vikings select Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU

Man, I got kind of pissed at the draft coverage that screamed at me to hate Daniel Jones and love Dwayne Haskins.

Haskins never showed shit on the field at Ohio State. He had bust written all over him.

The Cleveland Browns select Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State

I feel like the Browns wouldn’t/won’t be able to pass up the talented and low risk “local” product if he falls to 13 in favor of London or Burks who I consider to be better fits (but higher risk).

I also strongly considered taking a at another position (whom I’m thinking Staylor will be picking for the Eagles shortly)… but the Browns are quite happy with the value of Wilson here and are committed to giving the Baker Mayfield experiment one last go.

Pm sent to Rainman

Also, fun fact: Mayfield and Wilson went to the same high school (Lake Travis in Austin, TX).

Todd Reesing too

I’m going to send my “top 7” picks for the Steelers to Crow as I will be largely out of pocket for the next ~30 hours. Assuming my math is right (I’m currently exhausted) that should be enough to cover all possible scenarios of whose taken before then.

Edit: Crow has my list. I’ll be back online ~7amCT Wednesday. Cheers!

Son of a bitch, you did it!

I loved the idea of pairing Wilson and Smith.

Haha! Sorry? Karma!

That would be filthy (Wilson to the Eagles).

I really don't think Wilson makes it to 13 for the Browns (I think he's the first WR off the board and top 10) - but I've seen mocks that have London and Burks going ahead of him with Wilson falling as far as the mid 20s. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

We should've let Rainman have the Eagles.

Nobody makes more entertaining picks, complete with celebrity guests.

Yes, Rain Man is the entertainment of the entire draft. It wouldn’t be the same without him.

I’ve never been able to draft for the Eagles because the Jaguars are somewhat of a 2nd team for me that I enjoy watching be terrible (best friends team LMAO), but the Eagles would be like my 3rd team, and I have never had the opportunity to draft for them.

I picked the perfect year :D

Francis Scott Key steps to the podium, and pulls out a crumpled piece of paper. He reads.

"Oh, say can you see
Our Lamar's early flight
From the pocket he bails
At the rush's first leaning

And our passing game sucks
Our quarterback throws all ducks
And our left tackle's gone
Every time he's called upon

O say, do we need some line help
And I have a name here

O'er the needs of the D
We'll select an O...T.....

The Baltimore Ravens select Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State.


https://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.co...-key-large.jpg

The Philadelphia Eagles select Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, FSU

Derek Barnett is set to become a FA and injuries/age has caught up to Brandon Graham. Easy choice here.

The Philadelphia Eagles select Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

If there’s no QB, the Eagles might as well continue to build for their future QB. Really wanted to get Wilson here, but Williams will do. Sounds like he’s already ahead of schedule, and this dude paired with Smith give the Eagles an insanely talented young duo.

Damn again picked my guy give me a couple of minutes.


I’ll have my pick

The Los Angeles Chargers select. Drake London, WR, USC


The hometown guy doesn’t go anywhere gets to be a star for one of the hometown teams. Chargers add a weapon for Justin Herbert to compete with Chiefs for the AFC West and beyond.

Thought that might be the direction they go. They don't seem to know what to do with Williams and he's always been a similar sort of physical WR with stiff hips and long strides.

So they could replace Williams with London and get cheaper and faster in the process without having to alter their offense much.

It's a nice fit. I had him going here or NOLA.

He was my pick. Damn. Ok. Gimme a minute to look at my second option.

The Saints select Dax Hill, S, Michigan.

The Philadelphia Eagles select Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

The Eagles ran zone more than anybody in the NFL this year and McDuffie is a terrific zone corner that can start day 1 opposite of Slay.

Jermaine Johnson, Jameson Williams, and Trent McDuffie.

What a haul.

Kellerfox sent me his pick.

The Pittsburgh Steelers select Tyler Linderbaum, IOL, Iowa

Tyler Linderbaum is a hell of a player that's a great pick for Pittsburgh

So far each of the players I've ballparked in a 'this draft is looking rough' board for the Chiefs have gone off except I didn't have Pickett going that early...

I could see Penning not going in the 1st as well. I felt like that was a bit of a reach when I made it. Though I could see that pick being Green instead.

I'm telling you, this is why picking as the Chiefs (especially late in the draft) sucks SO hard.

The hive mind here turns this board into an absolute bloodbath by 25 every year. The CP Mock has a surprising lack of real "WTF?!?" picks most seasons.

only one guy from my pool of picks has gone off so far

Was hoping he would drop to Bengals but expected him not to.

If Giants didn't land Malik at QB would have traded down and grabbed him.

This mock draft has gotten to the point where half of the teams draft the players that they want the Chiefs to draft....or they just take BPA no matter what.

Exactly. The players we study most (for the Chiefs) always get drafted earlier in this mock.

There are still 4-5 players I’d be extremely happy with for the Chiefs.

Penning and Raimann seem like probable picks for Cincy, IMO.

In my defense, I typically try to pick teams that have similar needs to KC so that I don't have to build a new draft board.

And let's be honest, by the 3rd round, if you're not doing almost a strict BPA, you're doing it wrong anyway.

And it's so important not to miss on your 1st rounder that BPA is probably the right strategy there as well, especially when you have a 5th year option and over a 5 year window virtually ANY position will be a position of need.

So...what, the 2nd round could have some real variation? I fully expect that someone I'll take for TB is someone that Tamba has on his list - there's just a fair amount of overlap. The key difference being that Tampa has a deep secondary so probably won't be picking any of his DB options.

This is how Garrett Bradbury's happen.

LMAO

True but we also don't have pros like Gettleman, Pace, Grigson, or the Chucky-Mayock combo.

So even the CP Mock’s worst managers aren’t that bad LMAO

hurry up and get to the chiefs pick in the crazy longshot that Clays twitter dude is actually right

Jesus.

What now?

never stops

We traded our first rounder. Doesn't say who or what it's for. He's talking out his ass again.

There is a guy I reeeeeeeaaaaally want to draft right now but the Raiders just plain don't need more at his position. Like, usually I don't care about positional need in these things too much, but this is a case where I just shouldn't burn my 1st rounder on this guy.

Like... if they were solid and had a little bit of age at the position, I'd draft him and let the old dudes walk, but... ****, no... I can't do it.

Ugh. Give me a minute.

Where do the Raiders have any sort of surplus talent?

O-Line, I guess?

The Raiders kinda suck. I'm actually a little surprised they won as many games as they did.

EDIT: Ah, I hear ya.

Punter. AJ Cole is goooooood

Gotta do it. I think he's kind of twiggy, but he'll still be a good player in the NFL. **** it.

The Las Vegas Raiders select Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State

Probably going to get gouged at the end when we compare where he was actually taken with where I took him, but don't really care. I think he makes the most sense, and since there's no trading up and down, this is what I would do.

My guess is DE.

That. They're deep at the position. It just didn't make sense for them to take a DE. At all.

The Arizona Cardinals select Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida

It was between CB and Edge for the Cardinals but the edge class is ****ing deep and I’m not passing on the chance to get a talent like Elam. McCreary was looked at but those arms are short man….shit.

Maybe I’m in the minority But I think we should trade the pic because we’re not gonna find somebody who can help us now and that draft pick if the board falls this way. I’d much rather the Chiefs trade for a veteran with the 30th pick.

$$$, dude. What are you going to pay him with?

You can only keep going to the Bank of Mahomes so many times.

Jerruh Jones steps to the podium, paper thin skin stretched tight after a recent trip to the doctor, eyes wide-eyed and popping out, twitching.

Here with the Cowboys, we like us some champions. Cuz that’s what we are. America’s champions.

There are college students alive today who have never seen a Cowboys Super Bowl champ, and we owe it to them to change that.

So we’re a gonna start by drafting us a champion!

With the 24th pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Devonte Wyatt, DT, University of Jawjuh.

At least 2 guys left that I’d be extremely happy with, and that’s with a pretty unfavorable board for the Chiefs.

Felt like he was an easy pick for Oakland.

With KC close to being on the clock, I’ll turn back the clock to the mock when I picked for KC. Pretty good and could have been ridiculously great if I stuck with my gut and took Godwin and Kittle instead of Tim Williams and Eddie Vanderdoes. I wonder how many GMs think about those hindsight what ifs and end up signing the player they wish they had taken a few years later or trade for them.

27. Kansas City Pat Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech
59. Kansas City Tim Williams, DE/OLB, Alabama - (should have went with my guy and took Godwin)
91. Kansas City Marcus Williams, S, Utah
104. Kansas City Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia
132. Kansas City Eddie Vanderdoes, DT, UCLA (said right after the pick I should have taken George Kittle here and he went with the next pick)
170. Kansas City Blair Brown, ILB, Ohio
180. Kansas City Mack Hollins, WR, North Carolina
216. Kansas City Joe Williams, RB, Utah
218. Kansas City Ethan Cooper, OL, Indiana, PA
245. Kansas City Austin Rehkow, P/K, Idaho

Can someone DM Titty Meat for me?

Done.

Can someone DM GloucesterChief for me?

Already picked. Try again.

Stop worrying about me and check to see who’s been picked.

We didn't even make it out of the first round. Damnt Billay.

This is what happens when you try to make a pick while on Grindr at the same time.

I was more worried about the error my pressure cooker was throwing me tbh. 1 sec

Buffalo Bills Select:George Karlaftis EDGE, Purdue

Ok someone message the next dude for me

Karlaftis was guy I thought was BPA when the Raiders were on the clock, but I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on another DE when the team already has Crosby and Ngakoue and so many other problems that need fixing.

straight wrecking my board thanks everyone

Yea, getting brutal.

But this would’ve been trade up range.

Veach won’t have to sit still like you.

The Tennessee Titans select Treylon Burks, WR Arkansas

Julio Jones is getting old and injury prone. Titans look to add another weapon in the passing game to compliment AJ Brown. IOL is also an issue but the Tits want to grab a WR before they are left with slim pickings.

90% likely you’re getting a reprieve from me. Olave was my guy for TB.

In the car but Tampa takes Zion Johnson — I’ll fix the formatting later.

3-4 guys I’d be happy with, but not ecstatic any means.
