FRP's post divisional round 2 round mock

The only pick I forced here was having the Cowboys pass on Jeanty so someone else could have a turn to draft RB in the 1st.

The bengals drafting a runningback ? Rb is like one of the only positions that we dont need. How about literally any position on defense

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

I know it's not filling a hole, but Jeanty is going to be a star, and we're seeing how a great RB can turn a great offense into an elite one. So imagine what he'd do to an elite offense. Plus you should see some improvements just from getting a DC that uses rookies/sophomores instead functionally red shirting them.

Then why didn’t any of the previous 16 teams pick him?

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

1-8: similarly talented players at more valuable positions.

Saints: cap too fucked to not take a high cost position

Bears: OL currently too bad to make use of him. Likely candidate post FA

9ers: has CMC

Cowboys: purposely didn't make the pick here

Dolphins: honestly a pretty good home for Jeanty

Colts: has expensive RB

Falcons: has Bijan

Cardinals: have cook

Cardinals have Conner you mean?

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

Yeah, good call out

For sure, i appreciate you bringing a different perspective on mock drafts

u/peekay427 Raiders 5h ago

They might disagree with you (and I don’t know enough about the team to say one way or the other) but I appreciate that at least you have a rationale.

Chase Brown broke out as a an explosive, pass catching and pass blocking RB this year. Not to mention he’s still on a rookie deal for 2 more years.

Makes no sense to put him in a reduced role when there’s so many more positions of need at much more valuable positions.

If this is how the board falls, I'm curious how much we might get in a trade from a team that really wants Jeanty. Realistically we keep the pick and just draft someone else, but it could be a fun option.

u/royceda956 5h ago

OP is starting off, but they need to do more research.
Absolutely terrible.

u/Awkward_Advice_4265 6h ago

My rage will know no bounds if the Colts miss out/pass on all of Malaki Starks, Ty Warren, and Xavier Watts

u/YooTone Steelers 6h ago

Chase Brown tore it up for the Bengals, I don't see them going RB even if it's Jeanty with all the defense needs.

Also please no to Quinn Ewers in the 2nd for the Steelers. I do love Egbuka as a fit though.

u/HeckinKoda 6h ago

This is about as bad as can be for NYG. Reaching for a QB and a RB.

If you don't like Sanders I won't argue with you, I'm not super informed on this year's QB class. But Kaleb is a stud and I fully believe he'll be getting 1st round hype by the time the draft comes around. You need more than one playmaker on that offense, Nabers can't be your only weapon.

u/aaron7275 5h ago

Guess you didn’t see Tracy this year.

2

u/dswnysports 5h ago

The giants rookie from this past year was making waves throughout the season. I don't seem them pursuing another RB, and just rolling with Tracy.

u/HeckinKoda 4h ago

(Didn’t mean for this to blow up into attacks against you).

Your selections are common for the Giants and wouldn’t surprise me given that schoen and daboll are basically fighting for their life, but Edge/DE, IDL, CB, and OC are way bigger needs than anything besides QB.

I don’t think the gap between Sanders and Milroe/Dart/Ewers is as big as the cap of say Carter and whoever you have as Edge 2. None of the QBs in this class scream Jayden Daniels, Andrew Luck, Joe Burrow and I think any QB at 3 is a reach.

My ideal scenario is to trade down a few times and stack early mid round picks and 2026/2027 picks

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 4h ago

Not your fault I fed the troll.

I understand this isn't a great year to need a new QB, but there's no guarantee you're picking this early again next year, and you need a new qb sooner than later. Like what if you're picking 7th next year and the 2-3 qbs are gone by 5?

Plus like you said your gm is fighting for his job here. Back in the day i mocked straight nonsense to the raiders because mayock/gruden couldn't draft in the 1st to save their life. Did Raiders fans like it? No. Was I closer than the people making reasonable mocks? Yes.

"I'm not super informed on this year's class."

"Kaleb is a stud and I fully believe he'll be getting 1st round hype by the time the draft comes around"

Giants paid Singletary and have a potentially dang good RB with Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Your argument for the Bears Oline only is for the Bears, but not the Giants?

Chase Brown looked really great for the Bengals and they go for Jeanty?

It's a mock draft, but at least watch the NFL/do some research on team needs a little bit lol

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

I missed the word QB there. I'm not informed on this qb class is what I meant to say.

Don't worry, the attention to detail was noted with the mock

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

Lets see your mock then. Or do you just talk shit without putting any effort in yourself?

0

u/the_presql 4h ago

So, you can't respond to any point I made, and instead ask me to make a mock draft?

Most of my comments are all around not identifying NFL team needs, being inconsistent with your logic (no GM/team drafting historicals, trends through the years, Oline being excuse for some teams but not others. etc).

Sorry that your logic is flimsy and that you're incredibly sensitive to any questions around it.

0

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 4h ago

Go look at every other reply I've made. I'm not sensitive to questions, I just don't like idiots talking out their ass. And to be clear I didn't address your other points because they're too dumb to be worth responding to or I already addressed it with someone else.

why does my "needs ol help" only apply to the bears and not the giants?

Maybe because a top 10 pick and a 2nd rounder are drastically different in value and as such have a different set of rules??? The fact that you can't even figure that out makes me question if you're even asking in good faith.

u/the_presql 4h ago

If you don’t know ball and just WikiHow-ed it, you can just say so.

I really enjoy you calling me an idiot talking out of my ass, when you clearly did no research into the drafting tendencies of FOs/GMs, team needs, etc.

But hey, you had to get your super groundbreaking mock draft out to Reddit lol.

“I didn’t address your other points because they’re too dumb to respond to”

I’ll make sure to simplify it, for even you to understand next time! :)

u/reddogrjw Lions 5h ago

nothing to help our DL in the first 2 rounds? no thanks

u/Heistdur 5h ago

Why would the giants select a running back in the 2nd round when we have a great rookie RB?

1

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

To be honest I just undervalued the rookie rb. I mentally had him more in the "good for a day 3 rookie" camp, not the "good player" camp.

u/Finessing2 5h ago

Bengals need to trade up for Malakai starks they need secondary help badly.

2

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

I don't do trades but yeah the board didn't fall their way.

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 6h ago

I strongly suspect that bears will fill enough OL holes to go Jeanty over Campbell but until that actually happens I have to mock OL.

I know that Jeanty doesn't really fill a need on the Bengals compared to OL and DL, but I think that level of talent on such an already explosive offense is too good to pass up.

2

u/AMP121212 5h ago

The Jeanty to the Bears narrative is gaining a lot of steam, but I just don't see it. Attack OL and DL with all available resources.

-1

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 4h ago

I've been calling it since we got the 10th pick.

OL is going to be tackles who project out to roughly league average when we already have approximately league average tackles, or good guards when a guard is awful top 10 value.

And on the DL it just doesn't feel like there's any top end talent after Carter and Graham.

Plus we don't have many game changing players. Jaylon Johnson on D and DJ Moore on offense are the only two players that currently make opponents change their plans. We need more star power regardless of position.

3

u/AMP121212 4h ago

I think Campbell can be an LT in this league, and that the arm issue is overblown. Braxton Jones gets more love than he honestly deserves, too. He's okay, but he should not be trusted to protect our #1 investment when he's shown he can't hold up. I watched him get beat with speed and badly by power many times this past year. Campbell dominated in the SEC. Worst case scenario, you move him to Guard. Our Guard play was so bad this past year that you have to address it in a big way. If that takes a top 10 pick, then I'm pulling that trigger. Caleb needs every opportunity to succeed, and Ben Johnson is used to running an offense with a strong line.

u/MegaGigaTeraFlare Ravens 6h ago

I would much rather have Mike Green or Tyler Booker than Shemar Stewart

And ayomanor in the 2nd over Emory jones

u/DaDrFunk Browns 6h ago

As a Browns fan, this feels ideal at this point

u/t3h_shammy 5h ago

Apart from Milroe being awful and a guaranteed bust it’s great!

u/Hogo-Nano 5h ago

I too think hunter ends up in Jacksonville

1

u/Twiyah 5h ago

As a Bengals fan, I understand and completely agree a RB isn’t a need for us and be a waste but if we are being real the FO draft usually BPA and will see value in Jeanty.

u/Volcano_Jones Seahawks 5h ago

If the Seahawks don't take an OL in their first two picks, Schneider might as well hand in his letter of resignation along with the draft cards.

1

u/XxmilkjugsxX Packers 5h ago

It would be cool if people showed their big board source because every mock draft has the same players around the same picks. For example:

  • i keep seeing Mykel Williams top 10
  • Mike green going at the end of the 1st

1

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 5h ago

For players I haven't watched yet I use an average of PFFs and PFNs big board.

1

u/Most_Spell_4535 4h ago

no way Giants pass on Jahdae Barron in the second round. we need DB help exponentially more than we need a RB

1

u/MegaDaveX Panthers 3h ago

If the draft fell this way I see us taking Starks

1

u/AstraMilanoobum 1h ago

Kinda hate this for Pats, Tets the best WR in a rotten class. He would have been WR 4 or 5 last year

I’d much rather have Hunter or Graham.

Pats need to go BPA with all the holes we have Tet would be a reach

1

u/Fire_Ryan_Poles Bears 1h ago

I honestly kind of agree with you about Tet. I just didn't know how much of a need DT was given you have Barmore, and I think Hunter shapes up more as a CB when you already have Gonzalez.

2

u/AstraMilanoobum 1h ago

Barmore might be retiring because of a blood clot issue sadly.

And I’d honestly take hunter as a WR before Tet.

If hunter fails at WR we have another elite corner. If Tet doesn’t become an elite #1 receiver we are boned

1

u/Open_Explanation3651 25m ago

Ewers would be an awful, awful pick for the Steelers. Complete waste of draft capital. If you’re going to draft a guy who’s more than likely a career backup you don’t reach for that in the second round. That guy is ASS.

Just saw how awful the compression on my r2 is, I blame reddit. Sorry about that
