I gave the simulator a whirl and I definitely agree that it is quite fun, even with the limited draft capital. My three attempts:
Draft 1
SEA 67. Javonte Williams RB North Carolina
SEA 129. Dayo Odeyingbo EDGE Vanderbilt
SEA 141. Bobby Brown DT Texas A&M
SEA 147. Adrian Ealy OT Oklahoma
SEA 250. Buddy Johnson LB Texas A&M
Draft 2
SEA 100. D’Wayne Eskridge WR Western Michigan
SEA 129. Bobby Brown DT Texas A&M
SEA 137. Shaun Wade S Ohio State
SEA 149. Adetokunbo Ogundeji EDGE Notre Dame
SEA 166. Michael Menet OC Penn State
SEA 190. Tre McKitty TE Georgia
SEA 218. Tamorrion Terry WR Florida State
SEA 229. Chris Evans RB Michigan
Draft 3
101. D’Wayne Eskridge WR Western Michigan
SEA 102. D’Ante Smith OT East Carolina
SEA 129. Dayo Odeyingbo EDGE Vanderbilt
SEA 137. Shaun Wade S Ohio State
SEA 145. DJ Daniel CB Georgia
SEA 176. Benjamin St-Juste CB Minnesota
SEA 244. Buddy Johnson LB Texas A&M
SEA 250. Chris Evans RB Michigan
I don’t think it is realistic but if they could pull off any of those 3 drafts I would be pumped and they would be as good as any they have had in recent years.
You and me both Trevor! The ability to snag a top end talent at WR or RB, while still addressing Future/Depth OT and even CB would be superb.
Option 3 is my favorite based on haul, but drafting Javonte @ 67 would be a dream
I like that you try to stay realistic and don’t pick players that likely won’t be there. I like your second simulation best, because we cover our needs in the trenches, D and O. But if I could I’d get more of the players on your list, you picked them for the right reasons. Brady Christensen was an option a couple times in your simulations, made me wonder why you didn’t get him.
If I’m John Schneider and I know I’m trading Wilson next summer (big if here), I try to trade next year’s picks for picks this year. But even without overdoing it, PFN gave me a deal #56 and next year’s 3rd (we can live without, we have two 4ths) for this year’s 61 and 93. Next I went down 61 for 62 and 166, which to be honest is a bit of a bargain, and I got:
# 62. A center. Dickerson was there so of course I took him, if we’re too scared of his injuries, Myers could be an option, he was also available.
# 93. D’Ante Smith, because Duane has no backup.
# 129. One could go CB, but I want to win games by scoring, so I get a WR with this pick regardless what I do with the others. Best options were Schwartz, Shi Smith and Cade Johnson. I like Shi Smith but I went for Schwartz.
# 166. Here I went for CB. St.Juste was available, but he won’t be in the real draft. Went for Camryn Bynum.
# 250. Here you pick best player available – RB (Evans), LB (Buddy, KJ Britt, Hilliard). I went for a guard because I want to gather a bunch of guys that played together for a long time. Hutcherson is there, but if he’s gone Tommy Kraemer could be an option.
I also wonder if the Hawks won’t likely be very interested in Christensen: unprecedented explosive athleticism and positional versatility. Sounds like right up their alley.
Could not believe Rob almost passed on Quintin Meinerz for some 2022 stock, I even paused the video hoping that he will change his mind, and sure he did :))
Thank you Rob for the entertainment you bring week in and week out.
Here’s what I was able to get.
One of the centers has to last a bit longer, either Green or Dalman, which let’s me take the rare tackle prospect first and still get an upgrade at center.
84. D’Ante Smith, OT, East Carolina
116. Kendrick Green, C, Illinois
129. Dayo Odeyingbo, EDGE, Vanderbilt
135. Shaun Wade, CB, Ohio State
150. Buddy Johnson, LB, Texas A&M
211. Gerrid Doaks, RB, Cincinnati
250. Racey McMath, WR, LSU
Really love the Dayo and Wade stashes you propose, if they do indeed drop. We need to play the long game this draft.
I would love that draft!
I think I liked your second draft the best.
Which players would you not trade down for if they were there at 56? I want the Seahawks to have picks but what if they have a strong grade on someone who falls to 56?
Da-yo
Da-ay-ay-o
Dayo come and we hope he get home
🙂
I can’t help myself. I could use some positivity with so little stock so I didn’t fight the PFN rankings.
101. D’Ante Smith OT East Carolina
129. Cade Johnson WR South Dakota State
153. Benjamin St-Juste CB Minnesota
161. Divine Deablo S Virginia Tech
228. Buddy Johnson LB Texas A&M
2022 CHI 3rd
2022 CHI 4th
A project tackle, a Tyler Lockett, a lengthy CB, a heavy hitter and a LB to pair with Brooks, and some future stock.
Seahawks would have a 2nd, two 3rds, and three 4ths in 2022. Well positioned to draft or make in-season trades for some serious veteran talent.
Seattle Seahawks – SEA
106. – Spencer Brown – OT Northern Iowa
111. – Paulson Adebo – CB Stanford
126. – Marquez Stevenson – WR Houston
128. – Ambry Thomas – CB Michigan
129. – Bobby Brown – DT Texas A&M
140. – Jamien Sherwood – S Auburn
148. – Cam Sample – EDGE Tulane
152. – Michael Menet – OC Penn State
223. – Jack Anderson – OG Texas Tech
243. – Cary Angeline – TE North Carolina State
Maybe 3 or 4 of those guys can make the roster.
Ho-hum. Any rumors floating around worthy of attention?
Rob, what is the range for Benjamin St. Juste, in your opinion? Early third round, minimum?
I would say so but that’s just my take
Draft-day trades:
1. Traded #56 and #250 to the Broncos for #71, #114 and #237
2. Traded #71 and a 2022 7th rounder to the Saints for #98, #105 and #218
3. Traded #105 to the Jaguars for #106 and #249
4. Traded #106 to the Raiders for #121 and #167
Yielding 8 picks:
3rd round – #98
4th round – #114, #121, #129
5th round – #167
6th round – #218
7th round – #237, #249
Here’s what I got:
#98 – Brady Christensen, OT, BYU
#114 – Ambry Thomas, CB, Michigan
#121 – Dayo Odeyingbo, Edge, Vanderbilt
#129 – Osa Odighizuwa, DT, UCLA
#167 – Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota State
#218 – Larry Rountree III, RB, Missouri
#237 – Israel Mukuamu, S, South Carolina
#249 – K.J. Britt, LB, Auburn
Far from an expert but ended up with below
106. D’Ante Smith OT East Carolina
135. Shaun Wade S Ohio
137. Adetokunbo Ogundeji EDGE Notre Dame
145. Benjamin St-Juste CB Minnesota
176. Buddy Johnson LB Texas A&M
177. Noah Gray TE Duke
197. Tamorrion Terry WR Florida State
205. Feleipe Franks QB Arkansas
217. Racey McMath WR LSU
242.Chris Evans RB Michigan
244. K.J. Britt LB Auburn
246. Mustafa Johnson DT Colorado
250. Jalen Camp WR Georgia Tech
2022 WAS 5th
What would be really interesting is if the PFN simulator recorded results of when players were picked and moved people up and down their ratings boards each time
Somebody consistently picked higher gets a higher rating and therefore goes higher in future simms
After lots of trading I don’t want to detail here, the results:
94. Brady Christensen, OT, BYU
105. Elerson Smith, EDGE, Northern Iowa
148. Aaron Banks, OG, Notre Dame
174. Marvin Wilson, DT, Florida State
182. Sage Surratt, WR, Wake Forest
192. Kene Nwangwu, RB, Iowa State
197. Olaijah Griffin, CB, USC
218. Dax Milne, WR, BYU
236. Ian Book, QB, Notre Dame
Somehow wished, I took Thomas Graham at 197.
Another try…
87. Milton Williams, DT, Louisiana Tech
131. Drew Dalman, OC, Stanford
140. Demetric Felton, WR, UCLA
150. Jamie Newman, QB, Georgia
154. Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota
184. Tre McKitty, TE, Georgia
224. Cornell Powell, WR, Clemson
226. Chris Evans, RB, Michigan
Very happy with this one.
In this mock, my goal was to accumulate as many day 3 picks as possible thru trade downs, in an attempt to show as many late round – potential – gems as possible that may be of some interest to the Seahawks. To get to 11 total picks, obviously I had to use some 2022 picks to facilitate trade downs. Unrealistic but possible if the Seahawks do some major player trades (RW, Adams, et. al.) next year to get draft capital.
85. D’Ante Smith, OT, East Carolina, –A future OLT/ORT with coaching should be a great pick.
124. Marquez Stevenson, WR/KR, Houston, –Fast & shifty, Kid does it all well, just watch his exciting tape.
126. Khalil Herbert, RB, Virginia Tech, –A decent potential RB-2, that could develop beyond that.
129. Divine Deablo, SS, Virginia Tech, –A SS that hedges an Adams trade or holdout (coming soon!)
163. Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota, –Coach him up PC, he’s your perfect CB to get pro ready.
171. Derrick Barnes, LB, Purdue, –Steady, fast, productive, old style banger with some pass rush chops.
218. Simi Fehoko, WR, Stanford, –Tall fast, put him opposite Metcalf for “twin towers/pick your poison”.
232. Jason Pinnock, CB, Pittsburgh, –A toolsy developmental CB for addition to DB room.
246. Zach Davidson, TE/Punter, Cent. Missouri, –a fast TE, Check his ++ stats, a move TE of the future.
255. Tommy Kraemer, OG, Notre Dame, –Steady OG from a good program, coach him up.
259. Isaiahh Loudermilk, EDGE, Wisc., –A long EDGE that needs coaching, some potential is there.
UDFA’a: Sign a boat load of them —-Including (among others):
WR-Jalen Camp; WR-Racey McMath; OT-Calvin Ashley; OG-Kayode Awosika; RB-Gerrid Doaks; RB-Caleb Huntley; CB(slot)-Brandin Echols; LB-Nick Niemann; LB/SS?-Zayne Anderson; FS/CB?-Tyler Coyle.
I went Rob’s route and did three drafts, here are the results:
Draft 1
71- Joe Tryon, EDGE, Washington
129 – Shaun Wade, DB, Ohio St.
173 – Kylin Hill, RB, Miss St.
178 – Buddy Johnson, LB, Texas A&M
191 – Dan Moore, OL, Texas A&M
214 – Tamorrion Terry, WR, Florida St.
250 – Darrick Forrest, DB, Cincinnati
Draft 2
88 – Brady Christensen, C, BYU
116 – D’Ante Smith , OT, ECU
129 – Shaun Wade, DB, Ohio St.
141 – Shi Smith, WR, S. Carolina
163 – Israel Mukuamu, DB, S. Carolina.
251 – Chris Evans, RB, Michigan
259 – John Bates, TE, Boise St.
2022 NYG 4th rounder
Draft 3
69 – Eric Stokes, CB, Georgia
109 – Kendrick Green, C/G, Illinois
132 – Bobby Brown, DT, Texas A&M
147 – Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota St.
149 – Divine Deablo, DB, Virginia Tech
177 – Landon Young, OT, Kentucky
242 – Noah Gray, TE Duke.
I tried to go more with where Rob thinks guys will go, but you just never know. Let me know what you think.

Different risk levels and preferences for different people, I guess. Personally, as a GM, I would have leaned the other way. If 32 GMs all have the same, perfect information, then the draft will have fewer surprises, reaches, and fallers. Everyone knows everything.
When there is asymmetry in information, then opportunities arise. Yes, teams may get burned with medical, fitness or character issues, but plenty of solid players fall each year, only to have people say “Why didn’t we pick them?”. Plus, Day 3 picks are more of a lottery, and it can pay to have multiple selections to take that chance.
Let other teams trade out or take safe picks. Give me 12 or so chances to pick high-ceiling guys that may turn out to be solid players or maybe even cornerstones. Certainly seems like a better long term building strategy than have 3 picks and leaning into safety.
So is this a spin in an attempt to lessen the sting of what appears to be a shitty trade as they prepare to extend Adams? Is it priming the pump to justify trading Adams in the next couple of days knowing they have no chance of getting back what they gave up? (hoping so)
This is exactly the kind of short-term thinking that makes me want a new, younger GM and head coach.
Just look at what Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski have done with the Cleveland Browns for a stark contrast. And yes, I know they’ve benefited from higher picks in the recent past, but they’re winning playoff games with Baker Mayfield for crying out loud.
Look at what KC has done this offseason with lower down the board draft picks.
If that were the case to “go for it” and you need a pass rush, then why not trade for a legit pass rusher? Pretty sure they probably could have gotten Von Miller for just 1 first rounder which I would have been ecstatic about. Or how about Ryan Kerrigan? Literally so many better options we could have gotten and gave up less draft capital.
Gee… next year is kind of a question mark as well.
Maybe we should trade next year’s 2nd and 3rd pick, too?
If that is truly their justification for *overpaying* for Adams, then that is one of the most infuriating excuses I can imagine.
Talk about not trusting your scouting process.
Makes sense. Medicals, drills and interviews are huge. If they weren’t there wouldn’t even need to be a combine. You could just use the tape.
Tried to avoid copying others homework, and avoid drafting players who won’t be there (failed on that front with Deablo).
What I learned:
– there are going to be some good guys in the 100-150 range.
– the drop-off at Centre is severe
– There are going to be gaps on the far side of this. I fancy our chances of plugging in a vet at WR or LB more than I do at OT, C or CB
94. Kendrick Green, OG, Illinois
109. Bobby Brown, DT, Texas A&M
129. DJ Daniel, CB, Georgia
131. Marquez Stevenson, WR, Houston
150. Divine Deablo, S, Virginia Tech
159. Kylin Hill, RB, Mississippi State
169. Dan Moore, OT, Texas A&M
178. Jamie Newman, QB, Georgia
250. K.J. Britt, LB, Auburn
All high risk high reward draft…
79. Landon Dickerson, OC Alabama
First round talent, medical concerns cause the fall. A risk worth taking at this point.
80. Milton Williams, DE/DT Louisiana Tech
ELITE athletic profile, I still can’t get over his 3 cone, plus he got a 3.91 TEF fwiw. If only he had longer arms. If he’s there at 80 I’m taking him and kicking Green to the curb (maybe we could get a 6th for him? see further down).
129. Jaelon Darden, WR North Texas
Like brushing your teeth… Incredibly productive and shifty player, can return kicks and be a solid gadget type for Waldron.
192. Israel Mukuamu, CB South Carolina
Rob said it best, the man just looks like a Seahawks corner. I also like that he is opportunistic with INT chances, we can teach a man to play the technique but the nose for the ball is more of an inherent trait imo. I had to give up next years 5th to grab this selection but I’m happy to do it for a needed corner project (unless we can get that pick for Green).
250. Chris Evans, RB Michigan
In keeping with the mock’s theme, why not take a super explosive player that didn’t work out in college.
Seeing some nice mocks here, we seem to all be in the same ballpark (largely thanks to Rob, I presume).
Here are several iterations I went through, trying some different approaches:
Draft 1)
108. Brevin Jordan, TE Miami
129. Dayo Odeyingbo, EDGE Vanderbilt
148. Cade Johnson, WR South Dakota St.
152. David Moore, G Grambling St.
191. Dan Moore, T Texas A&M
237. Buddy Johnson, LB Texas A&M
239. Darrick Forrest, S Cincinnati
250. Marquiss Spencer, DT Mississippi St.
255. Chris Evans, RB Michigan
Jordan obviously a wildcard pick, wanted to see what I could do later if I took a shot there. Tons of depth here, imo, but lacking immediate impact perhaps.
Draft 2)
118. Marquez Stevenson, WR Houston
129. Drew Dalman, C Stanford
135. Dayo Odeyingbo, EDGE Vanderbilt
137. Shaun Wade, S/CB Ohio St.
169. Benjamin St-Juste, CB Minnesota
179. Landon Young, T Kentucky
211. Dan Moore, T Texas A&M
218. Israel Mukuamu, CB South Carolina
245. Buddy Johnson, Texas A&M
250. Chris Evans, RB Michigan
If we can get this many picks this seems a reasonable Seahawks approach. Three high-upside DB’s, two explosive future tackle prospects, competition for starting C, your WR3, your SAM, and your RB3.
Draft 3)
77. Brady Christensen, C BYU
97. Tylan Wallace, WR Oklahoma St.
172. David Moore, G Grambling St.
175. Landon Young, T Kentucky
180. Joshua Kaindoh, EDGE Florida St.
18. Israel Mukuama, CB South Carolina
Here I pulled the trigger early on the top Center left on the board, sacrificing depth later. Wallace an impact WR3 (in my esteem), two intriguing OL prospects (Young with a terrific TEF for a mid-round LT), and a couple shots at physical profile with Kaindoh and Mukuama.
Draft 4)
95. Tylan Wallace, WR Oklahoma St.
100. Kendrick Green, C Illinois
114. D’Ante Smith, T East Carolina
129. Dayo Odeyingbo, EDGE Vanderbilt
176. Benjamin St-Juste, CB Minnesota
237. Buddy Johnson, LB Texas A&M
250. Chris Evans, RB Michigan
This might be my favorite. Impact playmaker in Wallace, explosive starting C in Green, competition at RT and potential future LT in Smith, potential future impact rusher in Odeyingbo, a stud Seahawky CB (if he lasts this long), an athletic starting SAM, and a RB3 with upside. The only area of need might be DT, and I was sorry not to come up with Brown, but I doubt we could irl, and it’s a position we may ignore in the draft.
What do you guys think?
Draft 5)
93. Walker Little, T Stanford
98. Tylan Wallace, WR Oklahoma St.
105. Kendrick Green, C Illinois
133. Shaun Wade, CB Ohio St.
138. Divine Deablo, S Virginia Tech
174. Landon Young, T Kentucky
250. Chris Evans, RB Michigan
I did trade a future 6 and 7 to enable this maneuvering.
Draft 6)
56. Quin Meinerz, C Wisconsin-Whitewater
151. Shi Smith, WR South Carolina
176. Landon Young, T Kentucky
217. Joshua Kaindoh, EDGE Florida St.
222. Israel Mukuamu, CB South Carolina
250. Racy McMath, WR LSU
A Meinerz projection. It costs us down the line, but once he fell I had to see what it would look like.
Traded pick 56 and a 2022 5th to NO for Picks 60/98/229.
I then traded Pick 60 to TB for Picks 64 and 95.
Then I traded Pick 95 for 100 and 232.
Finally trading Pick 100 and a 2022 7th for Picks 123 and 150.
Picks were:
64- Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina
98- D’Ante Smith, OT, East Carolina
123- Dayo Odeyingbo, EDGE, Vanderbilt
129- Shaun Wade, S/CB, Ohio State
150- Buddy Johnson, LB, Texas A&M
229- Chris Evans, RB, Michigan
232- Mustafa Johnson, DT, Colorado
250- Racy McMath, WR, LSU
Its probably on the more optimistic side because I’d be incredibly pleased with this, and we’d definitely need to tap into the veteran market after, but it would be interesting to see what others think about this.
Prepping myself for Friday night when we don’t end the day with Smith, Wade and Odeyingbo…
Second draft.
SEA
108. – Elerson Smith – EDGE Northern Iowa
113. – Royce Newman – OG Ole Miss
119. – Ihmir Smith-Marsette – WR Iowa
143. – Adrian Ealy – OT Oklahoma
149. – Anthony Schwartz – WR Auburn
151. – Cam Sample – EDGE Tulane
154. – DJ Daniel – CB Georgia
163. – Shaka Toney – EDGE Penn State
165. – Shakur Brown – CB Michigan State
168. – Jamie Newman – QB Georgia
179. – Nick Eubanks – TE Michigan
190. – Kayode Awosika – OT Buffalo
Very interesting that nobody mocks a QB in their drafts.
I am guessing that the quality is really lacking in the position and is sacrificed to add quantity in the picks.
Draft 3 – Decided to take a QB since I noticed it was lacking in the projections.
SEA
77. – Davis Mills – QB Stanford
109. – James Hudson – OT Cincinnati
129. – Anthony Schwartz – WR Auburn
154. – Shakur Brown – CB Michigan State
158. – Divine Deablo – S Virginia Tech
178. – Shaka Toney – EDGE Penn State
186. – Benjamin St-Juste – CB Minnesota
Go Hawks!
“Pete tell us about how awesome it is to have Bobby Wagner as your defensive captain.”
Aren’t we blessed
I took a QB, but as a potential TE convert, see where his higher upside is?
#67 Payton Turner – Edge
Can’t have enough rushers, this guy has a ceiling high enough to takes Dunlap’s cleats in a year
#129 Bobby Brown – DT
He has all the measurables of an offensive tackle. Don’t mention it to Pete!
#134 Cade Johnson – WR
Got injured on his Pro Day, otherwise he’d be gone. Separates better than Larry King.
#145 Benjamin St-Juste – CB
Can turn on a dime, but a slightly slow 4.55 40 and a deep CB class might see him go here? hmm
#195 Robert Hainsey – OC
6ft 4in and short arms, he’s a centre, but powerful with 32 bench reps and steady agility numbers.
#199 Feleipe Franks – QB/TE
Quite the athlete as a 234lb QB, and girth with a 83 inch wingspan. A 4.61 40 and 7.16 3 cone, maybe a switch to TE?
#214 Dan Moore Jr – OT
Consistent, 4 year starter. Probably looking at a Jamarco Jones replacement, but you never know.
#250 Darrick Forrest – S
PFF flagged him up, been better at Cinci than James Wiggins, his measurables off the charts, better than Earl Thomas – his measurables that is. Does anyone know anything about this guy?

Don’t overthink it PCJS. Invest in the O-line. Win in the trenches. Give Russ a solid interior OL to battle against AD.
I concur, Nick – further bolster the OL as priority #1, for cryin’ out loud. But I expect PCJS to focus on the defense
Ethan Pocic simply isn’t good enough. Really hope C is addressed with a plug-and-play prospect.
I gotta say, people, this is the reason I love Rob’s site. So many of you actually doing your own mocks and posting them for all to review. Other fan sites only have the article writer showing their mock and then the resulting flood of commentary from the masses criticizing the picks.
It all begins with Rob and we are fortunate.
This mock simulator is addicting…
56 traded for 94, 104, 131 with ravens
104 and 7th round 2022 traded with WFT for 124 and 163
Here was my 1st mock for today.
Pick 94 D’Ante Smith
Pick 124 Dayo Odeyingbo
Pick 129 Bobby Brown
Pick 131 Benjamin St-Juste
Pick 163 Tammarion Terry
Pick 250 Chris Evans
I went the other way with this one…what if they feel Meinerz can come in right away and compete at OC? And be an anchor on the line for the next decade? Had to give up a lot to make this happen, but didn’t leave the cupboard completely bare for next year. But that was a loooong time in between picks!

No problem, there are a bunch of really good high-upside RBs expected to go around the area of our third round pick. Easy peasy. 😉
Haha… I love draft season! Mina’s reaction…

Rob, you really talked a lot in those sums about planning for next year, which makes a lot of sense. They’ve hedged strongly across the board with low cost vet FAs.
It feels a long ways away, but would an NFL FO be ranking some of these needs against next years draft class? ie Do they pick Buddy Johnson at LB expecting next years class is poor or plan to squeeze one more year out of KJ knowing next years class is deep.
Possibly but it’s hard to assess next year given what happened in 2020
I really enjoy these video mocks. The pfn simulator format makes them so watchable.
I did two and my only trade-down restriction was no trading 2022 picks.
First:
68 – Dyami Brown WR UNC
108 – Kendrick Green C/OG ILL
129 – Dayo Odeyingbo EDGE VB
182 – Israel Mukuamu DB SC
250 – Chris Evans RB MICH
Second:
69 – Elijah Moore WR MISS
129 – Bobby Brown DT TAMU
135 – Buddy Johnson LB TAMU
149 – Jason Kaindoh EDGE FSU
175 – Israel Mukuamu DB SC
214 – Noah Gray TE DUKE
250 – Chris Evans RB MICH
Good point about the format Blitzy. Really a good watch while Rob makes trades/picks.
Chris Evans keeps showing up in these mock drafts as a RB out of Mich in the 7th round. Is he like the next Chris Carson or something?
No, he’s just a guy Rob highlighted in his draft preview as someone with traits and upside. I’m not keen on spending a much higher pick on a RB with all our other needs, according to the simulator he’s always there, the cherry on top. Apparently he was regarded as “the next big thing” but it didn’t happen at Michigan.
Someone’s going to get a good player…

New prospect interview about to drop in a new blog post by the way…
In what may be Russell Wilson’s last year as a Seahawk, the team is in win-now mode and does what it can to support its disgruntled HOF quarterback.
74. Kendrick Green

129. Kylin Hill

246. Buddy Johnson
LB Texas A&M
250. Ian Book
QB Notre Dame
Would DK, Julio, Lockett be the best trio ever?
Even with Julio’s $15M ca hit, and likely 3rd rd pick to get, would be so much fun to watch.
Would probably have to trade Adams though, which is fine by me.
I let the trades go were they went counter any next year pick for one close to value this year.
78 Walker Little OT Stanford
108 Trill Williams CB Syracuse
119 Jimmy Morrissey OC Pittsburg I don’t believe I reach here considering I couldn’t get a trade
142 Jonathon Marshall DT Arkansas
173 Kayode Awosika OT Buffalo
214 Simi Fehoko WR Stanford
it was different.
2nd draft
77 Walker Little OT Stanford

Rob, thank you so much for the interview and finding some late round gems. It is so depressing to see 3 draft picks, but appreciate all your hard work and dedication for studying draft prospects. Now I hope atleast we get 2 good player from the draft.
Thanks
Just for fun I did another simulator and ended up with 10 picks, and only gave up a 2022 7th rounder to the Giants along with pick 64 and received picks 76 and 116.
Went heavy on the o-line with a couple project tackles, but I like this draft quite a bit.
76 – Daviyon Nixon, DT, Iowa – DT not the top need on the draft board, but the Value of Nixon at 76, and he brings some athleticism to the DT spot and can provide interior pass rush.
119 – Drew Dalman, C, Stanford – Dalman comes in to compete right away with Pocic, fit what the Hawks look for in O-Linemen.
133 – Shaun Wade, DB, Ohio St. – Wade is a guy that can play multiple DB spots and fits the profile to get a shot at playing corner.
137 – Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR, Iowa – Good size, can start off working in the slot and as a return guy. Good at getting up field after the catch, key to Shane Waldron’s offense.
150 – Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota – Another CB, with none of the 4 CBs on the roster signed past 2021, Wade and St-Juste add needed depth and two potential starters.
184 – Landon Young, OT/OG, Kentucky – Brown and Shell are both free agents, Young could potentially be a replacement for Shell at RT or a replacement for Jamarco Jones.
209 – Buddy Johnson, LB, Texas A&M – Johnson adds athleticism to the LB spot, great run and chase LB, playing down hill.
218 – Dan Moore, OT, Texas A&M – Project Tackle uses hands well, could always bump inside as well.
229 – Chris Evans, RB, Michigan – Five Star recruit, has talent, the last 7th round RB the Hawks drafted turned out well.
240 – Noah Gray, TE, Duke – Adds depth to the TE spot, only Parkinson is signed past this season.
Let me know what you think
