2024 BBI Mock Draft – DISCUSSION Thread

Matt G : 4/1/2024 6:40 am
We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the SELECTIONS thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the draft.

While we are starting early, the clock won’t officially start until Monday, April 8th at 9am. The draft will run from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday until the start of the NFL Draft (Thursday, April 25th) or the completion of the 6th round. Please remember to use the DISCUSSION thread so we can keep this thread uncluttered.

Once a team is on the clock, they will have two hours to make a selection. If a team goes on the clock after 4pm, their two-hour window will roll over to the next day. For example, if you go on the clock at 4:30pm, you will have until 9:30 am to make a selection. Picks may be made between 6pm and 9am if GMs are online and following the draft thread. The time limit only applies during the 9am to 6pm timeframe. If the two-hour time limit expires, I will make a pick using any list that the GM for the team has sent me in advance (send lists to the email address in my profile) or in the absence of a list, I will use the GBN Big Board with a little discretion so as not make an obvious dumb pick (e.g. Kansas City won’t be taking a QB in the 1st round this year).

In consideration of your fellow participants, and so we can maintain strong momentum throughout the draft process, please continue to actively monitor the thread over the next two weeks. As always, I will provide "friendly reminder" emails as your upcoming picks approach.

If a GM misses a pick AND fails make some form of contact with me (either via email, posting on the draft DISCUSSION thread, or providing me with a prospect list) prior to their next pick, they will have just 15 minutes to make their next selection. With two consecutive missed picks, their spot will be forfeited and reassigned to one of the BBIers who have expressed an interest to fill the vacancy. If you expect to miss a pick, please send me your draft board and I will make the selection on your behalf.

Per usual, we will also hold an undrafted free agency process that will start immediately after the final pick of RD6. Anyone who wants to participate can select up to 5 UDFAs. Selections are made on a first come, first serve basis. I am not making any changes to this process, so please don’t ask.

Please utilize the BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-6) by team and GM with a fairly comprehensive list based on the GBN Big Board (as well as several other prospects that did not make the GBN Big Board). I will try to keep the spreadsheet and thread updated as often as possible… Good luck!

Nice! You’re at a 3, I really need you at a 10! On this take, I need you to really let me have it. Your motivation is driven by your wife has left you, your daughter thinks you’re a joke and your favorite chinchilla has died. The Giants are all you have left, annnd….ACTION!

wasn't expecting it to kick off that fast, my bad.

Commanders take Daniels...while all qb's (this year and always) have questions about delivering on-time passes in the NFL game, the floor here is still amazing with his athleticism.

Slight frame but can hopefully bulk up a bit, and very savvy (most of the time) at avoiding hits.

Fantastic deep ball, no character concerns I know of, interviewed well in clips I saw.

All qb's are a risk...this is one I'd be happy to take. *I'd also support the Giants moving up for him...upside is that high.
Chalk first three picks

Without trades in the Mock  
MadPlaid : 4/1/2024 11:27 am : link
the selections are predicable. I am fairly certain McCarthy will be there if I want him at 6. Sadly, I am torn. I was prepared to go WR at 6 because initially, I didn't think JJM was a top 5 pick. Then after the combine and private workouts, suddenly, I no longer have a clue. Plus, many online predict in reality the Vikings are likely going to trade up for a shot at him or one of the other top QB prospects. If that happens, then it is unlikely a QB is available at 6 regardless.

So what am I supposed to do today? Go with the unlikely scenario and select McCarthy, or by pass him for a WR? This situation stinks.

What would you do?
It Very Well Could Go This Way  
Trainmaster : 4/1/2024 11:30 am : link
Obviously no trades makes "chaulk" more likely.

Since AZ and LAC don't need QBs, JJ will drop to the Giants.

I don't think this is how it plays out (i.e. NE, AZ and / or ?LAC will make a trade).

MadPlaid - I would say the next two picks are WR  
Andy in Halifax : 4/1/2024 11:30 am : link
Personally I think the Chargers will go Alt and be glad they did but in this I suspect its WR-WR coming up.

So QB4 or WR3.

Go with your gut. You'll get roasted no matter what lol.
was going to throw a curve ball and get a QB for Arizona

Very true. Damned if I do or don't. LOL

We will see what SD does, and I will go and the ROASTING will begin. Like last year when I selected Brodrick Jones. However, considering how last year went, I bet many of us fans would have liked having a stud OLineman on the roster to step in when Evans faltered.

You are just yella! ;-)

Well, BBB just made my choice for me. Pick is coming up.
Well, if it turns out like it did here, I'd want to trade down.  
Anakim : 4/1/2024 11:50 am : link
If there are no takers or the value isn't there, I'd just take Odunze.
btw - I looked back and my draft for Jax last year was a good one  
Andy in Halifax : 4/1/2024 11:55 am : link
Brian Branch - excellent starter already
Anton Harrison - excellent starter already
Sidy Sow - good starter showed lots of potential to be excellent
Charbonnet - good rotational player showed lots of potential to be excellent RB
Trey Palmer - good backup that started to earn a lot of time late in year (nice TD in playoffs)
Desjuan Johnson - good backup that started to earn time late in year for Rams.
Broderic Martin - meh season, could be a miss but Detroit says they think highly of him.
Dylan Horton - missed most of season with cancer, probably a miss

I have no idea if he'll be good or not but I think based on how 1-5 went, this was a logical move.

I very much approve.
I was targeting Nabers all the way  
MadPlaid : 4/1/2024 12:03 pm : link
But with BBB's selection, I couldn't justify ignoring QB in the first round. Although, Anakim's choice of Odunze was very tempting too. I don't have confidence in Jones any more. Plus his injury history is extremely troubling. I planned to target a QB in the 2nd if I picked Nabers in the 1st. The Giants QB situation is just to uncertain to not select someone high in this draft. I feel strongly Nabers is going to be great, he was really the only one I would have ignored McCarthy for. Other than Harrison who I think is highly unlikely to make it to 6.

Okay, let me know how stoopid I am.

Good pick. It needed to be QB.
Thank you, Andy and jim  
MadPlaid : 4/1/2024 12:08 pm : link
for the feedback. Not very risky, but probably the right choice under these circumstances. I highly doubt the real draft is going to fall this way. I think someone is going to trade up into the top 5, and the top 4 QBs will be gone. Leaving an awesome WR for the Giants to select. I don't see them taking Alt as tempting as he may be.

The real draft can't get here soon enough.

Cheers
I would have taken Rome O  
SirYesSir : 4/1/2024 12:09 pm : link
here, but just my opinion. I'd have to feel really confident to bind myself to a QB for 3+years, and I don't with JJM

If the alternatives were equally uncertain I guess I would, but Rome seems special. No shade though, just my thought

Thank you, Sean  
MadPlaid : 4/1/2024 12:09 pm : link
Yes, it really had to be. Although, Odunze was very tempting. I think he's going to be awesome.

I hear you. Rome would have fit in nicely with the Giants. But, I felt the risk on missing out on a QB at 47 was too high to take a chance on Odunze here.
The WR conversation all depends on what you think of Odunze  
Andy in Halifax : 4/1/2024 12:13 pm : link
If you think he's right there with Marv and Nabers then, sure, you can consider him for #6. But if you think there's even a small drop then it probably makes it hard to justify considering how deep the draft is at WR.

+1

This is a QB first round for the Giants. Drafting a wide receiver just to have Jones or Lock throwing to him would be foolish.

MadPlaid : 4/1/2024 12:31 pm : link
I agree a QB was probably the safest pick there especially considering the current condition the Giants find themselves in. However, I feel I have to mention, that I really doubt the real draft is going to fall this way. Someone is going to move up to get a QB, and if the Giants are not the one making the trade, they are going to miss out. And the funny thing is, I'm hoping they do not do it. Its going to be too costly in my opinion. I'd rather take a shot at getting a QB prospect in the 2nd round or next year than pay to move up this year. And, by sitting tight, they can select a real blue chip WR who potentially could be something really special for a very long time.

This is going to be an exciting draft when it really happens.

It's funny because I think Schoen is dammed if he sticks with DJ and dammed if he trades up and fails. The only situation that plays out well for him is swinging and hitting a homerun on a franchise QB.

I loved your pick btw, MadPlaid.

I agree, we will end up having to trade 2025 2nd and 3rd (ish) to the Cardinals if we like the QB there.

Hopefully he sees the emails and checks in shortly

Yeah, Shoen is in a very precarious place in this draft. I'm hoping for the best possible outcomes in any deal he makes. I'm glad I am just pretending to be the Giants' GM. I wouldn't want to be in reality.
