Tony Pauline's 2 round mock draft

Y28 : 4/1/2024 5:20 pm
Of course there are a million people out there doing mock drafts.

One that I always pay attention it this one.

Tony Pauline is a former scout with deep ties people throughout the League. He is at all the big all star games during the week, and attends a ton of Pro Days, and has great sources on those he doesn't attend (what position coaches from each team attended, who went to dinner, who scheduled Top 30 visits, etc).

From that, he gets a great sense of where teams are moving with their thoughts on the upcoming draft.

Pauline does some earlier mock predictions, but this is the one I follow the most because its just after all the Pro Days are completed. That's the last time that you will have multiple (sometimes all) teams attending a practice or Pro Day and his hearing the latest chatter from teams.

Of course I look at what players he thinks will go to each team, but more than that, I look at who are the TOP 64 players. A few names always surprise each year, because they either are-or are not-on this mock.

Over the years, Pauline has proven to be a lot more accurate in naming the TOP 64, than a lot of information we hear from other "experts".

Enjoy !!

Marvin Harrison to the Giants at #6. Same pick that Movin the Chains made on Friday's show.

Bo Nix in the 2nd round.
Perhaps

my Harrison to the Giants thread doesn't look so dumb anymore.
So Penix could be top 6  
UberAlias : 4/1/2024 5:30 pm : link
Or could be day 2, huh?
Landing Nix or Penix in round 2 would be a home run  
Go Terps : 4/1/2024 5:31 pm : link
If Schoen has inside information that they will last that long, great.

Otherwise, just flip it. Take the QB in round 1 and the WR (this draft is filled with them) in round 2.

I will be shocked if both Nix and Penix make it to round 2...

I would be ecstatic if this came to reality...
Arizona crushed it

trading down with MIN to still get Nabers and the stud DB.
 
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/1/2024 5:40 pm : link
I’d be stunned if Penix didn’t go in the first round.
MHJ and Nix/Penix is a home run as far as I am concerned

I'd be very interested in RB Trey Benson in the

2nd round.

I think, as of right now, the biggest x-factor in the draft is Jordan Travis. Is he even healthy enough to have a Pro Day/workout for teams?
Thanks Y28

I could live with those picks.
Don’t see Nabers lasting till 11

Unless there’s some character concerns.

Totally agree. Personally I favor Nix( love his mobility and his health)
MHJ or Nabers to Arizona makes too much sense to me.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/1/2024 6:28 pm : link
I don't buy any whisper of them going QB.

It's a huge need for them

Thought the same thing. I guess carrying a concealed gun to Mardi Gras and getting hauled off by the cops doesn't help your character profile.
The Nabers gun charge is overblown  
Rudy5757 : 4/1/2024 6:43 pm : link
He was a stupid 19 year old. If there is something more than that I haven’t heard.
He references  
English Alaister : 4/1/2024 7:06 pm : link
Significant off field concerns. Plural.

If there is chatter then we should take off the board for MH or Odunze.

After Toney and Baker our latitude to lose significant pick investment is zero.

Anything worse than a stupid 19 year old, is a stupid 19 year old with a gun.

Same was said about Toney
Harrison  
Maggot Brain : 4/1/2024 7:47 pm : link
would be a homerun, but no way Nix is a Daboll style quarterback. Who needs another couple of years of Jones-like dinking and dunking?Then a reset with a new GM and coach. Pass.
I don't see why anyone would know the Patriots want JJM,  
BleedBlue46 : 4/1/2024 7:53 pm : link
They have nothing to gain from it and it's not like any other team would be involved via trade. Seems like pure speculation. We will see though, that would set things up well for all the Maye fans here as I think we would get pick 4 for pick 6 a 2025 2nd and 3rd.
If it plays out this way...  
RHPeel : 4/1/2024 7:54 pm : link
I would suspect that the Giants manage to land Penix via trade.

And I know Harbaugh's priorities but I'd be very surprised if he let Harrison get past the Chargers at 5, given that they have no receivers right now.
Penix slides to rd 3?!  
BleedBlue46 : 4/1/2024 7:55 pm : link
Idk about this mock draft
Harrison + Nix/Penix  
Chris684 : 4/1/2024 8:40 pm : link
In round 2 is an absolute slam dunk if it’s possible.

New running back in round 3.

Defense on day 3.

Sign me up!

I was widely dismissed me when i brought this up in a thread. Again, I wouldn't knock him for it. A lot of owners like Mara I think would.

How old is he now?
Harrison, Hyatt, & Wandale at receiver?  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/2/2024 8:40 am : link
IDGAF who’s playing quarterback at that point. However, I’m really not a fan of Bo Nix.
