You can get a top 10 pick in the second and a top 10 pick in the 4th, roughly, for #32. Maybe a little more, depending on how much a team wants to jump in and get a guy with 5 years of rookie deal.

Man I'd take that in a heartbeat if anyone wanted to offer it.

We have our stars. We need solid supporting talent. That would go a long way.

I would too. The more picks the better to me. We could go heavy on the OL and DL and still have picks left to address other positions.

Two #2's, Two #3's, and Two #4's.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, that's what I see working out. I'll run a mock and pretend I have a comp pick at the end of the 3rd and 4th and try to hit those positions. I'll drop results in here.

Prediction: The draft will include Tyler Linderbaum.

I like Linderbaum. I'll be interested to see where he goes. If things fall right, he'll be there at 64 but we may need to get into the middle 2nd. It just depends. Not all services have him rated that highly either.

So I went ahead and ran the mock I was talking about. Players available at these spots are only a weak correlation to where they likely go in April, but you can at least get a feel for position-based availability.

My take: 3 OL, 2 DE, 2 WR, 1 S, 1 CB, 1 RB.

To start, I traded #32 to Dallas for #40(2) and #102 (4). It was tough to stay disciplined and stick to the plan, as LSU WR Terrence Marshall, Jr., was available there. He's a big receiver (6-3, 215 but separates well and already plays out of the slot and the perimeter.

#40. Azeez Ojulare, DE, Georgia (Explosive athlete, excellent pass rusher, has some versatility and could play OLB in a 34).

When #64. came up, I didn't see anything there that wasn't a big reach. So I trade it to Carolina for #68 (3) and #138 (5).

#68. Josh Myers, C/G, Ohio State (Large, strong interior player who reminds me of Mitch Morse. Much better feet than the average C, has power and is athletic enough to climb to the second level)

#96. Tyler Linderbaum, C/G, Iowa (Current draft crush, a former wrestler with athleticism and a lot of helium. Technically, I'm drafting 2 college centers, but you could slide either to G and be happy with results)

#97. (3rd round comp) Jaelan Phillips, DE, Miami (His stock is climbing and i don't think he'll be available at the end of round 2, let alone round 3, but for now I'm just going to be giddy about adding two guys this good to the rotation)

#103. Marquez Stevenson, WR, Houston (Big-time playmaker with the ball in his hands, Stevenson has the size, speed, and separation ability to be dynamite for Andy Reid's offense)

#129. Bubba Bolden, S, Miami (Like his Miami teammate Phillips, this transfer is seeing his stock rise. This was a BPA selection, but with it I add a versatile safety who can play deep, play the slot, and support vs. the run. Would be a nice upgrade in terms of athleticism for the box safety role Dan Sorenson has played a lot this year)

#130 (4th round comp) Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State (He's technically also a RT so I may be nabbing the wrong side T here, but Lucas has awesome feet and is a potential future starter. If Schwartz is back I probably go elsewhere with this pick)

#138. Karius Toney, WR, Florida (Luxury pick. Toney is an explosive, twitchy playmaker who fell. I see some Terry McLaurin in his game and could see him developing into a good X receiver for KC)

#160. Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn (Upside pick! McCreary is a great athlete who hasn't played much at Auburn).

#224. Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina (Just went BPA for Mr. Irrelevant. Carter is a smaller back (5-8, 200) but is a receiving weapon as well as a dangerous and consistent runner with patience. Opt-out RB Kennedy Brooks of OU was also there and would fit, though he isnt as good a receiving option).

Thanks for doing that.
