Here's my latest mock
1. Bengals- Joe Burrow QB
2. Redskins- Chase Young Edge
3. Lions- Jeff Okudah CB
4. Giants- Mekhi Becton OT
5. Dolphins- Tua Tagovailoa QB
6. Chargers- Justin Herbert QB
7. Panthers- Isaiah Simmons LB
8. Cardinals- Tristan Wirfs OT
9. Jaguars- CJ Henderson CB
10. Browns- Jedrick Wills- OT
11. Jets- CeeDee Lamb WR
12. Raiders- Jerry Jeudy WR
13. 49ers- Henry Ruggs WR
14. Buccaneers- Andrew Thomas OT
15. Broncos- Derrick Brown IDL *biggest steal of the draft
16. Falcons- Javon Kinlaw IDL
17. Cowboys- Cesar Ruiz IOL
18. Dolphins- Josh Jones OT
19. Raiders- Jordan Love QB
20. Jaguars- K'Lavon Chiasson Edge
21. Eagles- Justin Jefferson WR
22. Vikings- Denzel Mims WR
23. Patriots- AJ Epenesa Edge
24. Saints- Patrick Queen LB
25. Vikings- Kristian Fulton CB
26. Dolphins- D'Andre Swift RB
27. Seahawks- Lloyd Cushenberry IOL
28. Ravens- BPA according to TDN in order is Mckinney (S), Delpit (S), Taylor (RB), Dobbins (RB), Murray (LB), Gladney (CB), Gross-Matos (edge), Higgins (WR), Gallimore (IDL), Baun (edge)
In this scenario it comes down to Mckinney, Higgins, Gallimor or Baun
It doesn't fill the biggest need but here I go with Xavier Mckinney. Lets face it , the Ravens also get obliterated with injuries in the secondary every year as well. In this case though I could see Murray being the pick
28. Ravens- Xavier Mckinney S
29. Titans- Zack Baun edge
30. Packers- Jalen Reagor WR
31. 49ers- Jeff Gladney CB
32. Chiefs- Jonathan Taylor RB
Im officially crazy about Epenesa.
I see a pass rusher anywhere you line him up. The combo of he and Campbell getting after the QB is really tantalizing. Right now he is coached up to shoot more than read and react . I like him better as a rusher than I do a run defender but that will come. He has stuff you just can't coach and I think that will end up translating to the run game. Great hands...I mean great hands. Reminds a bit of the guy from San Fran a few years back...Justin? I think he'll bring more heat and prove more versatile though.@Edgar - im kind of with you at this point - i've got 1 bigger concern and 1 smaller concern...
the bigger concern is about how he processes and reads in the running game and im surprised you've seen him called an elite run defender because ive always been disappointed with how he plays the run throughout his tape - lots of inconsistencies, poor pad level, slow processing/not finding the football but the occasional great flash
and my concern is that it prevents him seeing the field as a pass rusher especially with guys like Calais Campbell in the building
my smaller concern is just to do with how abysmal his athletic testing was - i go back to the tape and love the dominant traits but the testing did make me worry about what i perceive as a problematic stiffness in his game that potentially limits how he translates as an EDGE rusher
from the beginning ive always loved him as a 3T but been worried about him as a 3 down player - some of those concerns have been alleviated but i still worry about the running game aspects and the processing issues given how jaylon ferguson got taken advantage of for similar reasons earlier in his starting career
I like this one..except for our pick.. id be mad af if we took himHere's my latest mock

I am a massive fan of AJ Epenesa. Him or Javon Kinlaw dropping to us, ideally without requiring a trade up, would be such a steal. If we get Greenard as well, I think I’d be delirious with happiness.I see a pass rusher anywhere you line him up. The combo of he and Campbell getting after the QB is really tantalizing. Right now he is coached up to shoot more than read and react . I like him better as a rusher than I do a run defender but that will come.

I think he'll bring more heat and prove more versatile though.
It was a ravens you tube guy that I heard say he was elite. I hadn't really watched him thoroughly until the past two days.
Idk have the slighest idea on how to evaluate pass rushers lol but im sure one of them gotta be a better prospect than xavier..ive always been a fan of reagor though so id go him or even a rb..I don't love the pick either, just went BPA.
Who would you take if the draft falls that way?
If it's a receiver EDC wants, which I think may be the case, he may need to jump to 20th. Question is what does that require if you're Jacksonville
Yea youre right for sure.. we may have toI don't love the pick either, just went BPA.

AJ with Greenard seems unrealistic but at the some time amazing so far as a pass rush.I am a massive fan of AJ Epenesa. Him or Javon Kinlaw dropping to us, ideally without requiring a trade up, would be such a steal. If we get Greenard as well, I think I’d be delirious with happiness.
What information are the scouts missing from the players? as far as communicating with the players are we talking about? I know physicals and prodays are def hurting scouts thoughI understand why the NFL wants to go ahead with the draft on its original dates and as a fan im ecstatic that one of my favourite weekends of the year is still happening when it was supposed to...
but this might be the first year in a long time where a pick gets skipped because a team missed the 10 mins or because communication issues prevented the picks coming in on time
it may mean we see fewer trades because teams dont want to get close to the clock at the end
we shall see - i dont like that scouts dont get the full data they might have but the fact that we've had very little fundamental turnover in our front office through the last decade and beyond and the way our scouting department is run means that we may have an advantage this year over some other teams especially with small school type guys and combine snubs...
those are the guys this scouting department made a living off early this century and that advantage has slowly disappeared as the process has become more transparent - but it might be back this year idk - just speculating
What you should do this year - pick Murray for us in 1st.So from 2011-2018 I spent half of march looking at draft profiles, film, and reading mocks. I never once got a first round pick right. Honestly pretty sure the only top 3 round picks I did get right were damned Carl Davis and Tyus... Anyway, last year I was extremely busy and barely looked at anything.. guessed us getting Hollywood only cuz he worked with my friend at an amusement park lmao.
Anyway, screw trying to guess our pick at 28 because I'd bet all my toilet paper we won't pick at 28.
