#6: Anthony Richardson - I’ve been reading a lot of the forums and it seems like there is still a lot of questions about Goff and whether or not he can lay the pipe. It also seems to be pretty consensus by everyone that Anthony Richardson is a can’t miss prospect. He can easily be our Matt Flynn.
#18: Michael Mayer - Everyone saw how our offense changed after Hockenson left. Do we really want another season of that? 12 TDs by tight ends? We need a new guy who can go on podcasts and pretend to be a George Kittle level TE. I really believe Mayer can be that guy. And we’ve always had really good luck on 1st round tight ends.
#48: Darnell Washington - Look at the roster. We only have one TE under contract, so we really need to bolster that TE room. Combining Washington with Mayer will be like Gronk and Aaron Hernandez, but without all the you know…murder and stuff. Washington instantly becomes our swing tackle and full back. We actually never play him at TE at all.
#55: Jahmyr Gibbs - Jamaal Williams is a free agent (and let’s be honest, he sucks and anyone can do what he did). Plus, when has drafting a skill position (or any position) in the second round ever not worked out for us. No way this guy can’t come in and be the next D’Andre Swift, Kerryon Johnson, Ameer Abdullah, Ryan Broyles, or Titus Young on offense. Easy pick.
#81: Cedric Tillman - We might lose Chark, but even if we resign him for 3 years, we still need to get this guy. Everyone saw how we finished the year after Chark came back…so what if we added ANOTHER WR to make plays alongside ARSB, Chark, Jamo, Reynolds, and Raymond? I think a lot of people are vastly underestimating our D and if we were to spend any picks on that side of the ball, how are we going to make sure that our offense doesn’t slip up?
This is just my first mock draft, so don’t worry if I missed your favorite guy. We still have a lot of time before now and draft day.
