Quite a late start this year, for me.

Buffalo FAMBase
Trades:
2.14 for 2.23, 3.23
3.23 (2 trades down) became 4.12, 5.4, 5.12, 7.4
1.14 DE Mykel Williams Georgia
6'4 265 4.55
Prototype
2.33 DT Ken Grant Michigan
6'3 340 5.05
Massive beast can line up 0-3
2.55 WR Elic Ayomanor Stanford
6'2 210 4.4
Breakout star last year. Maintains a trio of studs when Allen leaves. Primarily an X.
3.78 FS Rod Moore Michigan
5'11 200 4.45
If the knee is fine, bring it on. Fast, experienced, 6 INTs in last 2 yrs.
4.113 OL Jonah Monheim USC
6'5 305 5.2
Can backup all 5 positions, but maybe start on the interior?
5.141 DE Jasheen Davis Wake Forest
6'3 260 4.7
Hard to have too many. 20 sacks, 40 TFL last 3 yrs.
5.149 TE Tyler Warren Penn State
6'6 260 4.65
Well-rounded, with a breakout season in his 4th yr.
5.151 G Josh Gray Oregon State
6'4 305 5.05
Starting potential. May rise well past this.
6.190 HB Jarquez Hunter Auburn
5'9 210 4.5
Change of pace back to replace Herbert, Homer
6.197 OT Jalen Travis Princeton/Iowa State
6'7 315 5.05
Physical upside.
6.200 TE RJ Maryland SMU
6'4 235 4.75
Smaller move TE, with a lot of yards at a lesser program
7.220 1T Cam Jackson Florida
6'6 375 5.45
In case Grant wasn't big enough. Probably starts on PS, although Cowart/Randolph/Pickens are looking very beatable.
Might have to end up having to go harder at IOL. But there's even less C quality than usual.

Obviously, we're quite a bit out (most likely, anyway) from when this occurs/doesn't occur. Would you like to make a Pony avatar bet over this subject, though? Because I'm game. Say, a month? Sounds about right, to me.
My mother's love was inexplicably linked to kickball.

What kind of pony?
Like, My Little Pony? Or are we talking furries or ponyboys here?

NFL Mock Draft Database
Didn't realize I got so many of the same guys in the back half - really Hunter is the only one I pick constantly. But the top half wound up
very different, when all my favorite targets were already off the board. Still, that allowed me to trade down and fill everything, which
otherwise wouldn't be possible (just via draft).
Trade Recap
New York Receives:
2025: Round 1, Pick 20
Chicago Receives:
2025: Round 2, Pick 38
2025: Round 3, Pick 70

2025: Round 5, Pick 139
2.33 J.T. Tuimoloau DE | Ohio State Ohio State
6'4 270 4.65
Great run stopper with decent pass rush. Reversed would be better, but you can't win em all.
2.38 Walter Nolen 3T | Mississippi MississippiTRADE
6'4 290 4.90
Splits time with Dexter or, ideally, beats him out
2.52 Isaiah Bond WR | Texas Texas
5'11 180 4.4
Poised for breakout. Even if Scott works out, Bears could use more pure speed.
3.70 Donovan Jackson G | Ohio State Ohio StateTRADE
6'4 320 4.9
Bears should consider it a win if they only feel the need to replace one next spring.
3.84 Rod Moore FS | Michigan Michigan
5'11 200 4.45
If the knee is fine, bring it on. Fast, experienced, 6 INTs in last 2 yrs

Well-rounded, with a breakout season in his 4th yr
5.139 Jonah Monheim OL | USC USCTRADE
6'5 305 5.2

5.148 DeMonte Capehart 1T | Clemson Clemson

Nothing to see here. Just calling my shot. Keep an eye on Harold Fannin Jr. out of Bowling Green.

3.66, 3.89, 4.101, 4.128
12 Deone Walker DT | Kentucky Kentucky
6'5 345 5.15
Giant beast can play either side and provides a killer rotation of Walker/Billings/Dexter
43 Donovan Jackson G | Ohio State Ohio State
6'4 320 4.9
Even if Davis rebounds somewhat (and I expect the groin and conditioning to be an issue all season), he's done here
66 Tory Horton WR | Colorado State Colorado StateTRADE
6'2 185 4.5
Hands and great production at CSU. Z to replace Allen.
74 Josh Simmons OT | Ohio State Ohio State
6'5 310 5.15
I haven't taken a T this high all summer, but IDK WTF Wright was doing out there last week (and camp reports were bad, too)

Big, athletic, and currently on pace for 1000 yds
101 Bryce Foster C/G | Kansas Texas A&MTRADE

* I traded to make our picks later - I don't see picking 8th at all.
* They completely forgot Monheim, which is a problem when there's so few C options, so I "selected him" at 80, which I think is reasonable
* As always, I never take players if I think they've been horribly misranked (or won't come out) and wouldn't actually be available there
Trade Partner: San Francisco 49ers
2.48 for 2.63, 3.101, 4.132
Trade Partner: Indianapolis Colts
2.33 for 2.42, 3.74
16: R1 P16 DT Deone Walker - Kentucky
6'5 345 5.15
Giant beast can play either side and provides a killer rotation of Walker/Billings/Dexter
42: R2 P10 G Donovan Jackson - Ohio State
6'4 320 4.9
I think we're at the point where we need 2 new starters
63: R2 P31 WR Elic Ayomanor - Stanford
6'2 210 4.4
Breakout star last year. Maintains a trio of studs when Allen leaves. Primarily an X.
74: R3 P10 FS Billy Bowman - Oklahoma
5'10 195 4.4
Smaller than you'd like, but there are smaller high-end FSs. Surprising that this is the first time I've taken him in a sim I posted. Gets a year to learn behind Byard.
80: R3 P16 C/G Jonah Monheim - USC
6'5 305 5.2
Move to center seems to be working out
101: R3 P37 TE Mason Taylor - LSU
6'5 255 4.65
Good triangle numbers, on pace for 700 yds, son of Jason Taylor. In.
122: R4 P21 C/G Clay Webb - Jacksonville State
6'3 310 5.25
Won a collegiate 2023 Guard of the Year award, but was a 5star center coming out of HS.
132: R4 P31 DT Nazir Stackhouse - Georgia
6'3 320 5.05
Run stuffer with some potential to get more rounded.
153: R5 P16 HB Trevor Etienne - Georgia
5'9 205 4.45
Herbert will likely want out, given his nonexistent role this season.
233: R7 P17 DE Malachi Lawrence - UCF
6'4 250 4.65
May stay, but has some physical upside.
252: R7 P36 FB/HB JaQuiden Jackson - Arkansas
6'2 235 4.55
As much fun as Kramer at FB is, you really should have a true backup (on the PS, usually) for when your starter gets hurt.

https://www.dailyherald.com/20241003/ch ... aks-loose/One issue to watch is depth on the defensive line. Nose guard Andrew Billings has been on the field for 68% of the snaps. Last year it was 47%. Gervon Dexter has been even busier, logging 72.4% of the defensive snaps, after played 40% as a rookie. One problem is second-year defensive tackle Zacch Pickens hasn't played since early in Week 1. The Bears trusted Byron Cowart to play just 11 snaps against the Rams. …
This is why I'm always taking DT first in these sims.
It also makes the 2nd DE position less urgent, if everything else is great.
