I've been trading in all of them recently, so I tried doing one on a fresh board, straight up.
https://fanspeak.com/ontheclock-nfl-moc ... simulator/
Draft Diamonds board

Really hated it.
Positions of need and value just lined up horribly.

Trading down from 20 and filling that massive gap of about 80 picks from R3 to R5 are both critical to the Bear draft.


R1 P20 E Christian Barmore - Alabama
It was either him, Horn, or Mac. Hicks and Nichols are FAs next year, and you can't pay both and Goldman.
R2 P20 OT Dillon Radunz - North Dakota State
R3 P19 ILB Jabril Cox - LSU
R5 P20 TE Tony Poljan - Virginia
R6 P19 WR Trevon Grimes - Florida
R6 P36 ILB Garret Wallow - TCU
R6 P43 SS Tariq Thompson - San Diego State
R7 P4 WR Whop Philyor - Indiana

I like that draft a lot - after the first pick.

Maybe I'm a sucker for late round QB success stories. But I would love to see the Bears draft Mills in round 5 or 6 and sit him on the bench behind Dalton for a year. Let Defilippo work his magic. I just don't see the Bears getting it that right.

Well obviously draft priorities shifted this week, I now have CB as the most pressing need on the team. Not overly happy with this one, but it fills holes. Doubled up on CBs since we really only have Johnson outside now.

Fanspeak Steve board, classic setting.

R1 P20 CB Jaycee Horn - South Carolina
R2 P20 QB Kyle Trask - Florida
R3 P19 OT Jackson Carman - Clemson
R5 P20 DL Adetokunbo Ogundeji - Notre Dame
R6 P19 LB K.J. Britt - Auburn
R6 P36 S Divine Deablo - Virginia Tech
R6 P43 CB Keith Taylor - Washington
R7 P4 WR Marquez Stevenson - Houston



EDIT: Just did a PFN one with a trade down in the first for KC's 31 and 63, like this one a little better.

31. Ifeatu Melifonwu CB Syracuse
52. Liam Eichenberg OT Notre Dame
63. Davis Mills QB Stanford
83. Tommy Togiai DT Ohio State
164. Tre McKitty TE Georgia
202. Paris Ford S Pitt
219. K.J. Britt LB Auburn
226. Deommodore Lenoir CB Oregon
230. Landon Young OT Kentucky

The PFN one lets you make trades and it’s easy to get mad scientist with it https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/

PFN has not updated their board in a while now, gets kind of redundant picking the same dudes over and over again. With Fanspeak you can at least switch between the different boards to get different results. Some are pretty outlandish boards though and you have to take some drafts with a grain of salt.

A fair amount of wheeling and dealing, very heavy on the offense:

#28: Mac Jones, Alabama, QB (5 year contract)
#53: Liam Eichenberg, Notre Dame, OT
#60: Tylan Wallace, Okie State, WR
#95: Tutu Atwell, Louisville, WR (couldn't resist when still on the board)
#121: Brady Christensen, BYU, OT
#204: Shemar Jean-Charles, Appalachian State, CB (for depth)
#208: Israel Mukuama, South Carolina, Safety (for depth)
Drafts are like snowflakes, no two are alike.

The nflmockdatabase is off today.

20 Rashawn Slater OT Northwestern
52 Terrance Marshall Jr. WR LSU
83 Dillon Radunz OT NDSU
164 Tre Brown CB OU
204 Chris Rumph II EDGE Duke
208 Malcolm Koonce EDGE Buffalo
221 Tre Norwood S OU
228 Jonathon Marshall DT Ark. State

Some guys I wanted in the late rounds went shortly before we picked, but if our first three picks went like that - holy crap.

I am purposely ignoring Mac Jones at 20 now, just so happens today all 5 QBs were off the board so I traded down with Tampa. This is a pretty solid haul!

32. Teven Jenkins OT Oklahoma State
52. Terrace Marshall Jr. WR LSU
64. Daviyon Nixon DT Iowa
83. Kyle Trask QB Florida
164. Benjamin St-Juste CB Minnesota
204. Quintin Morris TE Bowling Green
208. K.J. Britt LB Auburn
221. Paris Ford S Pittsburgh
228. Landon Young OT Kentucky

To try a different board, I went to PFF. We at least know the NFL teams see this one... not sure what stock to put in it but whatever. I like Mike Renner.

Anyway, I prioritized 2022 in general. Amassing draft picks and replacing expensive vets who are leaving.

PFF Mock Draft
20 Rashod Bateman WR Min I see ARob in him so he'll replace ARob?
64 Liam Eichenberg OT ND need OT help of course
90 Levi Onwuzurike DT Wash our DTs are good and expensive
116 Jamie Newman QB GA love him as a developmental guy for 2022
119 Tutu Atwell WR Louis we need a slot
218 Paris Ford S Pitt fell because his pro-day was trash

Plus 2022 - assets to trade up and get a diff QB if Newman is terrible? If he's good, the mid-rounders should allow the Bears to rebuild the defensive back 7 as Trevathan fades and CB continues to be an issue
TB R2
NYG R3
LV R4

No Trades

Early on, I loved how most of how it played out.
Top QBs gone by 20 and Trask/Mills/Mond gone by 83, so nothing happened there, but whatever to that.
As usual, their late options aren't very good - rankings go bad and missing names that should be there, starting around R6.

1-20
Christian Darrisaw OT • Virginia Tech
2-52
Creed Humphrey C • Oklahoma
3-83
Pete Werner ILB • Ohio State
5-164
Garret Wallow ILB • TCU
6-204
Matt Bushman TE • BYU
6-208
Tarron Jackson OLB • Coastal Carolina
C6-221
Feleipe Franks QB • Arkansas
C6- 228
Cary Angeline TE • North Carolina State

The recent trades have really benefitted us from an OL perspective. One thing I have noticed is that Darrisaw is gone most of the time before 20. However there are still quite a few really good OL prospects in rounds 1 and 2. Starting in round 5 I leaned BPA.

Here's my newest one:

TEAM PICKS
20: R1 P20 OT Jalen Mayfield - Michigan
52: R2 P20 C Landon Dickerson - Alabama
83: R3 P19 DL Tommy Togiai - Ohio State
164: R5 P20 S James Wiggins - Cincinnati
204: R6 P20 EDGE Adetokunbo Ogundeji - Notre Dame
208: R6 P24 CB Tre Norwood - Oklahoma
221: R6 P37 CB Shemar Jean-Charles - Appalachian State
228: R6 P44 QB Ian Book - Notre Dame

I kind of like the double dip on oline. That said, are you taking Mayfield to play LT, RT, or OG?

On Day 1 I would have Mayfield play RT to assess where he's at in the pros, but the intent is to eventually replace Leno who I would cut. Even if Mayfield tops out as an above average RT, the OL is much stronger with the interior being Whitehair, Dickerson, and Daniels.

We'd have:

Leno
Whitehair
Dickerson / Mustipher
Daniels / Mustipher
Mayfield

What would be interesting is to see what it would be like to swap Mayfield to LT and Leno to RT.

Darrisaw, Cosmi, Mayfield, Leatherwood, Eichenberg, and Jenkins...if all those are on the board, I can’t take Mayfield. I’d take Darrisaw, Eichenberg, and Jenkins over him.

Honestly, I think Eichenberg is going to be one of the best OTs in the entire draft. That said, it may be at RT. I’d like to see something like this..

Trace down and grab

I'm not a huge Eichenberg fan, but I'd take him over Mayfield honestly.

Mayfield is a lot younger than his peers, so there's a chance he turns into something. But his tape is...not good. I don't think you can play him at tackle right now.

The trade down at 20 gives me the willies because I don't understand what we would get in return.

What do you see as a realistic trade down from 20?

Mustipher is really a one position player. His strength is in the execution and responsibilities of the role vs his athletic prowess in the role. I can see drafting a center IF he's just a stud guy who can play multiple positions & be the backup across G-C-G. But given the Bears have at least 3 guys who can play center, I really think it would be wiser to let the play out this year and focus any draft picks on the OTs. Just my opinion.

I really honestly don't get the WR pick high with ARob back. Mooney and Cohen need to be fed. So what's the point of wasting a first through third round pick on a guy who's going to get 30 attempts at most? And then whatever happens with Wims, Miller and Ridley ... that needs to shake out. I could see them adding a vet around camp time if it looks like W-M-R won't stick. But I think they will. They couldn't get anything for Miller (or what they'd want). So they're going to give him one more chance. Too bad it's with Nagy it's oil and water.

I think they need 2 CBs, including one very high. I don't like a draft that doesn't have a CB in the first 3 picks. It may be equal to OT in priority. For Edge they have the guy from last year... I just don't see it as a priority for this year - so grab one with a 6th for depth. I think ILB is more priority than Edge.

I think in first 5 picks the Bears definitely need: OT, CB, S, ILB. Squeeze Mills or Mond or someone in there with some wheeling and dealing and that's what I'm looking at wanting.

I also do not foresee spending a high pick on interior O line. There are a few picks that I would take in the right set of circumstances at the end of the 3rd, but hard to speculate right now.

WR can very easily be a necessity. Robinson is only a 1 year rental at this point. I really like Seth Williams for instance and if any kind of trade down scenario where I have 4 picks in rounds 1-3, he's a target. WR's tend to need a couple years to mature all the way, so a year of back up and film study wouldn't annoy me too much.

all that said, I could see a situation where we take 2 OT's and 2 CB's in the draft. The more guys I look at in the 2nd-3rd round range, the more guys I like better than some of the 1st round projected talent.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

I can see drafting a center IF he's just a stud guy who can play multiple positions & be the backup across G-C-G. But given the Bears have at least 3 guys who can play center, I really think it would be wiser to let the play out this year and focus any draft picks on the OTs. Just my opinion.

I really honestly don't get the WR pick high with ARob back. Mooney and Cohen need to be fed. So what's the point of wasting a first through third round pick on a guy who's going to get 30 attempts at most? And then whatever happens with Wims, Miller and Ridley ... that needs to shake out. I could see them adding a vet around camp time if it looks like W-M-R won't stick. But I think they will. They couldn't get anything for Miller (or what they'd want). So they're going to give him one more chance. Too bad it's with Nagy it's oil and water.

I think they need 2 CBs, including one very high. I don't like a draft that doesn't have a CB in the first 3 picks. It may be equal to OT in priority. For Edge they have the guy from last year... I just don't see it as a priority for this year - so grab one with a 6th for depth. I think ILB is more priority than Edge.

I think that's a pretty good take IE. But I also think we have to get our OT in the first two picks (or two rounds). I think we can hit CB in the third. I really like both Georgia CBs. I combine the S/ILB need by taking a big safety like Deablo or Nasrildeen in the third or fourth.

I think that A&R is also correct that WR is a need. Hell, we aren't even sure we aren't trading ARob. My guy Dardin is projecting in the fourth now. And Wulfy's guy Fehoko (who I also like and would really help if got Mills earlier) is projected late fourth to fifth. Guy ran a 4.42 at 6'3" and has power to run over DBs. And there's still my 6'5" receiver Warren Jackson.

We really need a trade down some place.

Don't think ILB is a need this year; you already have Roquan, DT, Christian Jones, Woods, and Iggy on the roster. Maybe a day 3 pick if someone you really like drops, but I would put every other position on D over ILB right now. CB, S, DL, Edge, then ILB for defensive needs.

PFN finally updated their board, it seems like the most realistic out there now. I think this one hits the needs fairly well!

20. Samuel Cosmi OT Texas
52. Asante Samuel Jr. CB Florida State
83. Kyle Trask QB Florida
164. Marvin Wilson DT Florida State
204. Riley Cole LB South Alabama
208. Tamorrion Terry WR Florida State
221. Josh Ball OT Marshall
228. Paris Ford S Pittsburgh

I actually really like that draft, except for Trask. That Marvin Wilson pick might be my favorite.
