2. I'm exceptionally high on Derick Hall so I'm all about taking him. The only question for me is if Foskey is there then I'm really drawing straws. I give the edge to the longer, bigger guy for Spags. Maybe Foskey isn't there though.
3. I'm on opposite ends of the spectrum with Wright from alot of guys, I can see that. Wright is an exceptional RT and they do go in round 1. I won't say he won't fall to the 2nd because that could happen but I can't fathom him falling anywhere near that far, especially with Pittsburgh picking twice and before 52 in the 2nd, not to mention some other teams needy for a RT early on in the 2nd like Washington, New England, and Atlanta.
4. Some respectable people see Benton as the 2nd best DT in the draft. Yes, ahead of Bresee. 61 seems like a pipe dream, honestly. Of course, we didn't think Travis Jones would fall to the 3rd last year but there's a big difference between playing at Wisconsin and playing at UConn and to top it off Benton is simply just a better player.
5. If Mingo makes it to 95, I'm all in. I think its more than reasonable to see him in the third round. He's a guy I feel like you might need to move up for a bit in the 3rd though.
6. I'm not a big fan of Kuntz. I don't think he's terrible but he's a bit robotic for me. He can run like a deer in a straight line but I don't see him making the cuts to gain separation in the NFL on the reg.
7. I'd be thrilled if Xavier Smith is there in the 6th. I don't know if he's there quite that late. He's electric man... his agility and top-end are really, really good and he's got great hands. I think he's going to be this year's Josh Williams with a chance to go in the 4th with a 5th round floor. I'd be tempted to bet dollars KC moves up for him early on day 3. He's going to be a weapon. Amazing story as a walk-on to one of the best WRs in college football.
8. I'm pretty high on Darell Luter late. I see him as a 6th but maybe he's a 7th. Either way, like him alot. I also like Clark alot. I think he's gotta marinate but he might be a nice get for a 7th rounder in a couple years as a run stuffer.
9. There's probably not a player I want less tahn Brenton Cox. Please no.

Yeah, it's a tough time to run an actual mock draft on one of the sims. The boards are closer but still fairly far off.
That was a trade that was offered to me. Thought it was unbalanced but it's all for shits and grins anyway, right?
Re: Wright, yeah, I don't know that he lasts that long. That's why I was referencing the other group - one of whom I'm sure would be (and all, honestly, at that point in the draft). With a pair of veteran tackles added in FA and Niang back, I think they could survive 2023 with that player being less ready Day 1.
Re: getting guys where I got them, yeah, super hard to say if it's realistic. I do think KC will make a pick in the 30s and then try to move up into the 50s, with OL and DL both being addressed at this picks. Maybe Benton is that pick in the 50s...
