Did Nelson and Mcglinchey play on the same side? My question is could playing next to Nelson have helped Mcglinchey at all? It seems funny that the "Best LT prospect in two years" just so happened to be on the same line as the best OG prospect in like 10 years.

Yes. LT and LG

His time on the clock will expire before then. According to the rules we are supposed to give the top player on the list unless it is unrealistic (like having the Eagles draft a QB). Would the Panthers go for another RB (Guice) after taking RB last year? Evans and Bryan both seem unrealistic (Evans for scheme fit because they are a 4-3 with Kuechly at MLB and Evans is an ILB, Bryan just because they have a bunch of good/great DT's) so it would be Guice or skipping down to D.J. Moore

Ignore everything I posted

obviously lofty but he is an athletic rangy and versatile player. Not worried about him being light on experience. Very productive this past year.

If he has 3 years like that you are talking about him going higher than 26. Risk is he can't shed blockers well enough but bare minimum I think he is a guy that will make plays in space and be a top flight coverage backer.

I wanted to see which qb Giants were going to take - Allen or Rosen.

Lol. We are all amateur drafters here. Andy has no affiliation with the Giants. QBs went Rosen-Mayfield-Allen. Rosen viewed as #2 QB in this draft.

I had Rosen all ready to go assuming Darnold was going #1. I still like him and possibly even have a tinge of regret to be honest. Right now, he's the best QB imo. Darnold has HOF talent but needs development. Rosen has injury concerns though so that kinda tipped the scales a bit.

Also, I would not have drafted Allen in the first round. Obviously, he wasn't lasting to the second round but that's the only pick he'd be on my radar.

Since we have had weekends before where 0 picks have been made, doing the math we will need to average slightly more than 14.5 picks per day in order to finish on April 20, the Friday before the draft (obviously, the more productive this is on weekends that brings down the average). User search shows that Pittsburgh was on BBI this morning but obviously did not make a pick in the Selection thread. Pittsburgh has until 11 AM then they will likely be awarded Derius Guice because he is the best player on the board and with Bell's contract demands and suspension issues I am not sure it can be said that it is so unreasonable that we must skip him.

...

beginning of round 2 once we get going today. Lots of active posters with picks, and Cleveland and Indy have multiple picks each

It's almost 11:00 my time, I got confused there for a sec. Not a slow start, just a dumb Canadian messing up time.

was on about 15 minutes ago so he should see this.

I'm awesome

What would a BBI Mock Draft be without those, especially for Jacksonville's GM, or the kick in the nuts .jpg?

Haven't seen the kick in the nuts jpg yet. It is overdue.

with the injury sustained last season, Pittsburg needs some beef at the ILB position. Also helps that he was the second best prospect on the board. Guice's injury history is concerning, so I went with the need value pick.

I was hoping Lamar Jackson would slip to me at the pick, but sadly he went to Buffalo!

so we can bring out the home alone gif's

Dodged a bullet. Evans is a great pick. Was on the short list for me at #30 for Minnesota.

Andy!

Will Hernandez is the pick to make the Jags running game even better. With the Norwell signing and now with Hernandez replacing Cann, the Jags will hopefully have the best offensive line in the NFL for years to come.

Makes sense. There are still two players who jump out at me if either are on the board for the Giants

(now 2... thanks a lot Kevin!). I wonder if either will make it to me.

...if I don't make them in my first 30 mins on the clock. Thanks.

Andy nice job at #2 overall. Darnold is the guy.

Kevin. Not cool. That was going to be my pick. Now I have to debate between 3 guys. Give me about 20 minutes.

all's fair in love and war. And the BBI Mock draft too.

He was at the top of my board in terms of bpa and need. Couldn't help but ecstatic that he was there for us.

No worries, I feel like Josh Jackson is a pretty damn good alternative. Adding Josh Jackson to a secondary with Xavier Rhodes and Harrison Smith...with Mackensie Alexander coming into his own, I'm going to put the best 3 corners on the field. Trae Waynes has been a bit of a disappointment, but I'm building a no-fly zone in the land of the thousand lakes. A great defense getting greater.

I think many are underrating how good he is.

He is a monster that can move. Dave Te' Thomas said it has been 17 YEARS since he has scouted an offensive lineman with double digit knock down blocks per game. The last guy who did that...Walter freaking Jones. Will Hernandez did that last year with 10.33. He plays every game, and the only real question I had was if he is with his movement, because it's hard to believe a man that large can move as well as he does, but he really does. He is not just a run-blocking mauler, he can pass block as well, and he has strength in spades to anchor as well as the feet and base to disrupt quicker pass rushers.

37 bench press reps at the combine, and there may not really be much of a drop-off from Quenton Nelson and Hernandez. I feel like if he played at a big program, he'd go in the top 15.

Back to Josh Jackson...he has a little edge to him, he's smart, good at press or off, and tremendous ball skills. I think he's a big-time competitor, and his competitiveness is what won me over on him over a couple of other options.

Surprised Josh Jackson wasn’t taken earlier in this BBI mock

And Torrag indicated to give him 30 minutes (which has passed) so hopefully we will see that soon

Those last two of LB Rashaan Evans & CB Josh Jackson are sick!

If you're not adding gifs to your selection, I'm just gonna assume it was bad pick.

I think the only proper thing to do is wait, as Torrag did send in a board to Matt.

I agree. Obviously, Matt is really busy, and is unable to post Torrag's pick. Too bad he didn't share it with one of us for just this contingency.

sorry

decimated the Giants board.

The two names at the top of my board after the Hernandez pick are still there

Are guaranteed to be there for you Andy

the only time the Eagles should be picking 32nd is when they trade up from 33rd by giving up their entire draft for each of the next 10 years.

especially by Go Terps.

I'm actually not sure what the hell I'm going to do. I'm not used to having this many picks...normally Indy trades them away.

Kid in a candy store? Take a little bit of everything, maybe?

Andy is on the clock

Although I think Todd McShay may like one choice moore than the other

One can reasonably debate whether the other player is crazy value at 34

I had them quite a bit higher on my board than the rest. I'll figure it out in 5 mins, won't hold you up.

looks great to me. was a consideration at pick #13.
