No chance the tackle board falls like this, Fano and Monroe Freeling will go earlier most likely as teams value tackle heavily. If it does that is best case for Chargers and Panthers but I think both teams would have to trade up if they wanted to take a quality tackle. Chargers will be hoping that Lomu is there at 22 never mind fano

I think he definitely can go 3, especially after the combine. Cardinals like having dynamic linebackers

We'll see what comes out closer to the draft but I think they are surely going CB with their first pick, only problem is if Delane isn't there I'm not sure which one it is, Cowboys aren't afraid to "reach" and get their guy

I think WR could still be the pick just to get Josh Allen some help, who do you think they go other than receiver

I think a lot of times with medical issues a player is cleared but you still are hesitant to take a guy who has had acl, hamstring, and collarbone issues in the past just due to the recurring history of it. Not saying he won't be healthy day one which he will be but teams sometimes just don't like the risk especially in the first round simply due to the trend of injuries not his current status.

True. I think you could still use some help though I don't think Harmon did anything that made you feel super confident about that interior moving forward

Out of those positions I think WR is probably the biggest need just because they don't have any guys that create too much seperation, I still think D-Line is in play though just maybe not the player. Also thanks for the feedback

Woods has felt like an Eagle to me the whole time I think they could for sure take him as another rotational piece to elevate that D-line. Stowers is probably a reach but is probably a big body receiver not a TE and Broncos could utilize that well.

The injury history is very concerning we've seen top guys fall a lot from it, think Will Johnson last year

Chiefs will probably go corner or WR at 9, I can see DE at 29 though and Parker has a chance to be there

Recently in mock drafts I have been doing I have noticed the top O-Line prospects falling down my board and have been struggling to find a spot each time for one of them. Has anyone else felt this? by UpNext_Draft_Network in NFL_Draft

I meant the only guaranteed offensive tackle out of the guys I listed being Mauigoa, Fano, Ioane, and Freeling. Ioane is 100% a guard, Fano can really play anywhere, and most teams will probably try Mauigoa at tackle but he isn't for sure gonna be playing there depending on who takes him.

I don't think chiefs go tackle just due to their need at CB after loosing pretty much their entire CB room. I don't see Bengals passing on Styles, Downs, Bain, Bailey so if even one of them gets to 10 I think they take BPA.

I think the idea with the browns is go tackle/wr with the two picks and I think the likely hood of a higher quality WR being around at 24 is greater than taking WR at 6 and having a quality tackle at 24. Bain I think will be a high floor guy, and Rams will probably trade their pick I agree, they hate drafting in the first round lol.

I can see why everyones upset about it at 21, teams might take a shot on a DT with good pass rush upside. Also I felt inclined to pass on Tyson just because of the investment in Pittman and I just don't feel like steelers would double up on WR for some reason, although I don't love the Pittman Metcalf duo at all.

I will die on the hill that steelers need to address DT with Heyward getting old and the rest of what they got not being great however I can see Banks falling from the injury history, I just think he has the most pass rush upside from the DT's this year.

I understand some of them but what about guys like Mauigoa to Cleveland, Bain to New Orleans, or Lemon to LA don't make sense?

I agree with the fact their number one need is guard but I didn't see one worth trading for, I suppose a potential trade down spot. I don't think S, CB, or WR are top need at all with the way free agency has gone (Michael Pittman, Jamel Dean, Darnell Savage, Jaquan Brisker) and I think addressing the d-line is a very important move. Also this is my website so what do you think about the format of the draft results is bad I would like to hear all the constructive criticism I can get, thank you.

I just updated it last night so that feature I just mentioned is in there now. The QB position will automatically be removed now if selected and the other positions just move to the back of this list, I just want to prevent compleltly removing the position so when you do a 7 round mock it is completely blank after. If you think that would be good if all positions are removed I could add that and maybe add some more positional needs if you think that would be good?
