I think Mike Green and Jahdae Barron are insta-starters. Don’t think you’ll be able to get both though in the real draft unless JB is really slow this week.

Maybe neither will be had and both are doubtful too. I think both would used as chess pieces by Bowles not instant starters as they will have to learn much.
If they aren't ready to start you don't draft them in the 1st/2nd. That's a big issue most have/had with the Braswell pick. Toolsy guys that aren't ready to play can hurt a contending team. But, he could still pay off if they can unlock him. I'm not holding my breath.

That's true if you got shaky starters in the first place, if you got signed strong rosters they have to force the staff to give them playing time. Yes with us prolly instant starters with a strong learning curves.

I'm not sold on Green, but Barron strikes me as an instant impact player. If he runs well I'd take him at #19 and be thrilled with it. Super high football IQ. Great zone player. Brian Branch comparisons galore. He'd be a good fit for us and could allow us to move Tykee to safety or Bowles can get cute and use them interchangeably.

Not that I agree at all on running auto sims, mainly because the Bucs draft looks piss poor to me almost all the time but I just did one and Barron went 39th to the Bears.

Tried something a little different. Adding Luther Burden at 19 to add another weapon to our offense. He's a shifty YAC guy that would fit in great with our RB/short game focused offense.

1. Luther Burden III - WR
2. Mykel Williams - Edge
3. Dairen Porter - CB
4. Kevin Winston Jr. - S
5. Jeffrey Bassa - LB
6. Tonka Hemingway - DT

I wanna make our offense tired of having to go back on the field. Do you think any of them can rotate with our starters?
I think Mike Green and Jahdae Barron are insta-starters. Don’t think you’ll be able to get both though in the real draft unless JB is really slow this week.
Even with 32 2/8" arms?

He’ll just have to go up against Luke Goedeke in practice.

Yeah, I looked at the Emeka Egbuka, but thought CB was a bigger need. What don't you like about Jahdae Barron?
With Jordan Phillips I was willing to take a one pick drop and risk that he was still there because I also liked Jordan Burch. What did you not like about Jordan Burch? I think Burch will end up being a better piece in the pass rush.

Just because I like 1 doesn't mean I dislike the other. This has everything to do with Egbuka, who has #1 WR potential.

Traded back, picked Green and got another 2nd. Here is my Dilemma, I got three players I like TJ Sanders, Darien Porter, and Alfred Collins.

Who should I pick?

Maybe neither will be had and both are doubtful too. I think both would used as chess pieces by Bowles not instant starters as they will have to learn much.
If they aren't ready to start you don't draft them in the 1st/2nd. That's a big issue most have/had with the Braswell pick. Toolsy guys that aren't ready to play can hurt a contending team. But, he could still pay off if they can unlock him. I'm not holding my breath.


Just re-read this. Braswell is going to have to unlock himself!

Full 32 team mock. We miss out on tons of prospects but still manage to land Warren.

Whoops. Forgot the Jets got Fields...

He's one of those "gadget" offensive prospects that adds a unique element to an offense and just BPA in general. I wouldn't complain with him at 19 with all those defensive prospects off the board. Maybe a DL or WR instead though. Matthew Golden or Walter Nolen would be my other 2 there.
