Did a mock draft with a trade.
Traded 35 and Mekhi Becton for 19 and 194 (treated Becton as a 2023 1st in the PFN simulator, though this basically values him as a mid-late 2nd...hoping we can get more, but whatever).
4. Ikem Ekwonu, OT, NC State
10. Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, FSU
19. Drake London, WR, USC
38. Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
69. Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor
111. Channing Tindall, LB, Georgia
117. Jelani Woods, TE, Virginia
148. Tyquan Thornton, WR, Baylor
163. Akayleb Evans, CB, Missouri
194. Isaih Pacheco, RB, Rutgers
If we go with Ekwonu at 4, I think this is about the direction we should take. Build in the trenches at 4 and 10. Hopefully Johnson falls to 10 in this scenario. Then trade up and get your receiver.
Pacheco and Thornton add gamebreaking speed to this offense, while London gives us a good compliment to Moore. Jelani Woods can be a developmental TE to replace Conklin or Uzomah in a couple years.
Our offensive line becomes one of the best in the NFL probably as soon as 2023.
