I love the mock, and that we get to take JSN! How did we get the #20 pick, though?

That number is their big board ranking of the player. The pick number is next to the round number on the left.

in almost every mock draft he does

Most mocks I've seen have him going in the second half the first, usually in the twenties. If he underwhelms or does just okay at the combine he could easily still be on the board when we pick.

So, this is an odd one for sure. DL is not one of the major needs (though it could use a bit of depth), however Bresee is just someone that shouldn't be there and is an absolute difference maker. If by some weird chance he is there then he should be the pick no matter who else is available. That combination of explosion, strength, and tenacity is an absolute game changer.
After that just ended up going all in on new WRs. Reed is a well rounded guy that excels at separation and YAC. He's only held back by being a bit on the small side. Iosivas is a poor man's DK Metcalf. Great size, speed, and strength. He's someone a QB can just go, "Fuck it, my guy is down there somewhere" and chuck it deep to. Mingo is a physical, high volume, first down maker. Each brings something different to the table, and could become a mainstay in the offense.

I love Mingo there. Think that's an absolute steal if we can get him r5

JSN is on the board, but we take a second corner? wtf https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft...jackson-to-commanders-giants-trade-up-for-qb/

That's a tough one. Joey Porter Jr is legit a great player, and you definitely can make a case for him being the better of the two.
Thinking about it it's also a very funny and petty selection since we get the son of an all pro Steelers linebacker helping to shut them down twice a year.

yeah, but we should take one receiver and one corner. We don't need 2 corners, unless you want to go ahead and trade Marlo, too. We need a receiver, and I just don't understand why we would make that move. Anyways, there was another mock with us taking Deonte Banks instead of Cam Smith, so okay.

Ah, didn't notice the earlier Cam Smith pick. Yeah, definitely be bad to take two corners on the first.
i do not like bryan bresee at all - not even close to a 1st rounder for me

Getting Zay Flowers on the first would be huge. Not much more to say about that pick.
Brooks and Turner are strong, heavy handed, penetrating linemen that could really improve our interior pass rush, and make life easier on on our edge rushers. Brooks has the bonus or being able to play a big edge on short yardage situations or to create mismatches since he can overwhelm some tackles.
Blackmon is a smart, solid cover corner. Not a bad consolation prize if we don't go corner early. O'Connell is a bit rough but he's poised and tough. Not a bad backup option, and real competition for Huntley.

perhaps O'Connell could be the next Brock Purdy?...

It's a longshot for anyone to be the next Purdy, but O'Connell definitely has some nice traits. He can absolutely be a solid game manager that doesn't panic in big moments.
