Here is our latest mock draft projection: 1) Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU This pick has been known for months. Burrow is the most complete quarterback prospect to enter the draft in years and gives the Bengals a foundational centerpiece to build around. 2) Miami Dolphins (via Washington MOCK TRADE): Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama What happens with the No. 2 pick will determine much of what transpires the rest of the first round. With all the medical news on Tua Tagovailoa coming back positive, the Alabama quarterback seems earmarked to go here, but the biggest question is whether Washington throws in the towel on Dwayne Haskins after just one season or moves back. Miami has structured their entire organizational philosophy around getting a franchise quarterback in the draft this year. They pull the trigger on a blockbuster trade with Washington, giving up pick No. 26, pick No. 39, and a 2021 first-round pick to land Tua. 3) Detroit Lions: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State After the Dolphins move into the two-hole, the Lions have the pick of the two premier defensive prospects in the class. Losing Darius Slay leaves a gaping hole in Detroit’s secondary, and they fill it with Ohio State’s dominant cover-corner Jeff Okudah. 4) Giants: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State Dave Gettleman and Giants fans collectively rejoice as their top target falls into their lap. Young is a generational pass-rusher following in the footsteps of fellow Buckeyes Nick and Joey Bosa. Gettleman is a firm believer in dominating the line of scrimmage, and Young gives the Giants a disruptive force off the edge, injecting elite talent into a pass-rush that has averaged just 32.5 sacks per season the past two years. 5) Washington (via Dolphins): Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson New head coach Ron Rivera appears committed to strengthening Washington’s front-seven. Passing on Young in favor of two first-round picks and a second-round choice from the Dolphins still allows Rivera to come away with a game-wrecking inside linebacker in Isaiah Simmons, who can be deployed as an off-ball linebacker, off the edge, or even in coverage |
I know it will never happen, but part of me wants it too just for the reaction.

But then we’ll be tortured every flucking day as to why we passed on Young
But interesting question: if the Giants had the #2 pick, would you want them to make that trade? I wouldn’t. I’d want them to sit tight and take Young.
This of course would be the worst possible scenario for the Gmen as the 4 hole would only be of minor concern for someone trying to cover LAC/CAR and Herbert. No Young, no trade down.
Don’t get me wrong, I would be thrilled to have Young. However the term ‘generational’ is used wrongly so often.
Yeah, can’t see the Lions taking Okudah over Young.

what would really set BBI off is that Young falls to us and Dave for the first time trades down for a haul and gets this OL fixed. It satisfies the niche segment of fans that clamor for a trade down every year. It satisfies the segment that has watched year after year for near a decade the OL flounder and now there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Thankfully, the Darnold contingent has quieted down.
What would push Young to us is if Ron took Tua and in a panic Miami trades up with Detroit as all of a sudden other teams are calling Detroit to move ahead of Miami. Miami isn't going to settle for the #4 QB and allow a team like Carolina jump them. Ron can still get his edge by trading Haskins + Williams to Jax for Yannick.
1. Browns take DT Brown - I know, I know
2. Skins trade w Miami - Miami took Burrow
3. Giants trade w Detroit - gave up a few late draft picks
4. Detroit takes CB Okudah
5. Skins - don’t remember

...it will be because QBs went 1-2-3, not because Detroit selected Okudah over him.

Detroit has crap on the back end. Playing devil’s advocate, perhaps they would value Okudah’s skillset superior to Young’s? Just askin’

Advanced analytics favor coverage over pressure, but using the more established football wisdom, you can atone for a lot of sins in the secondary with a great pash rush. A great corner only atones for the sins of the guy he replaces.
In the above scenario. I can't see Matt Patricia choosing Okudah ahead of Young. Both are nailed-on future Pro-Bowlers, but you just have to look at the impact Nick Bosa has had on the 49ers to see it's got to be Young first.
That would be gold to see Tua picked at #2 with a live stream of Haskins They Done Messed Up - Part 2.
Don’t get me wrong, I would be thrilled to have Young. However the term ‘generational’ is used wrongly so often.
Beat me to this posting this comment.
I suppose this is the Pass Rush Generation.

Just like the guy who was drafted a year ago, and the guy drafted four years ago?

Lol. It drives me nuts. LT was a generational pass rusher. Reggie White probably was. Trout is a generational baseball player. Many HOFers aren't even generational players, let alone three players drafted in four years at the same position.
Do any other teams compare to that percentage, if you know?
Will look in meanwhile.
Agreed.
Exactly. If DET stays at 3, they're taking Young.
It’s yearly, every year someone is generational. I’m so tired of hearing that term. Can he just be the best player in the draft?
I know it will never happen, but part of me wants it too just for the reaction.
LOL could you imagine - I'd be glued to this board for days
"Not a chance"
I'm so glad you guys have this figured out in advance every year.
Like last year when Ferrell went #4 overall. The rest of the world was surprised, but not me because I visit BBI and you guys know all this shit.
I remember when Jones' selection at 7 was met with reserved calm on BBI because it wasn't at all surprising to us.
Again, bravo for all you do.
But generally, I think they take Young if by some far fetched miracle Washington trades out of that spot.
Hint: They won't.
Lol😄

Oops, meant Bengals. Hadn’t had a second cup of coffee when I wrote it.
We should do collective remote-throwing on Zoom :)
I would be so worried about his career being cut short due to injuries.

That I wouldn't trade back.

Patricia knows first hand the value of CBs over Rushers. He’s seen what guys like Darrell Revis and Stephon Gilmore do for a defense. I’d be surprised if the took Young over Okudah.
Patricia's eyes were closed when Strahan, Tuck, Osi and JPP shut down Tom Brady and the Pats' offense enroute to 2 SB titles?
He was an assistant coach on those teams, too.
What a specious argument.
