Hey y'all! A long time ago I picked up a book called Philosophy of Literary Form by Kenneth Burke, and didn't realize I would have five of his books today. I REALLY like how his books read.

I'm taking a step back to look at his work, and I'm wondering if there is a particular concept he is exploring more so than the many he does. He references his other works from time to time, and I'm beginning to think that the incomplete series on motives might be central. It seems to be built up to by his other works.

I don't know... anyone have an idea?

Draft Trades: I just used a draft trade value chart for the draft trades to try and make them close to the same values as possible. I only did trades in the first round.

Trade 1: Jets trade 4th and 10th pick to the Jags to get pick number 1.

Trade 2: Falcons trade pick pick 17 and 74 for the Browns 13th.

Trade 3: Patriots trade pick 20 for the Bengals 29th pick, 93rd pick and 131st pick.

Draft:

Jets 1: Hutchinson (Edge). The Jets traded the 4th and 10th pick to the Jags for the number 1 overall pick. Jets go big for the dominant edge player that we all know Saleh desperately wants.

Lions 2: Kayvon Thibodeaux (Edge). Lions get a dominant edge rusher that is a perfect scheme fit for their team to build around and combine with the Okwara brothers and Harris to create a deep and very strong group of edge rushers.

Texans 3: Kyle Hamilton (S). Texans opt to take arguably the best prospect in this class, regardless of the position value, to help a defense that struggled mightily on the back end.

Jaguars 4: Evan Neal (OT). The Jaguars still get the guy they were going to take at 1, while also picking up the 10th pick from the Jets. With Jawaan Taylor being in his last year and being abysmal in the run game, the Jags find their RT of the future to pair with Walker Little at LT. Recently, I questioned the Jags taking Neal because they have Little and Taylor, but this helps redefine who they are upfront and gives them the potential to have a dominant tackle in both the run game and passing game.

Giants 5: Ikem Ekwonu (OT/OG). NYG miss out on Neal, but take the next best guy in Ekwonu. He should help change the demeanor and talent of this line, whether it is at OT or OG.

Panthers 6: Kenny Pickett (QB). As much as the Panthers need an o-line, they need to figure out QB even more and Matt Rhule would sell his soul for one it feels like. Panthers take the best out of the class in Pickett and hope that his mobility can help make up for some of the o-line concerns in the short term.

Yeah I know these are lofty hypotheticals, but let’s just assume all 3 pan out to have careers as advertised for the sake of discussion. It’s the fookin offseason, might as well talk some hypothetical shop.

Do you go with the most important position (non superflex) Kenneth Walker or Breece Hall in hopes of getting fast RB2 and then potentially RB1 production for 5 years?

OR

Do you go for a much deeper position and take Treylon Burks (or Garrett Wilson if you get down like that, I don’t) who based on career longevity by position, should be producing in the WR1-WR2 range for potentially double the period of time.

So what’s more important? Landing a bellcow RB for immediate production before eventually having to sell before they’re around 25 or 26, or do you take the stud WR who could be on your team for the next decade, a la Ja’Marr Chase. Top drafted WRs have struggled in fantasy this past decade beside Ja’Marr and Amari Cooper I guess - guy’s a boring fucker to have on your team - but let’s not forget Demaryius Thomas, AJ Green, and GOAT Megatron were WR1s in their class.

All that to say - in a draft class without an obvious number 1 pick, is this the year to draft a WR over RB?

My first mock draft of the season - with trades. Two rounds, with blurbs for each pick in the first.

Draft order from Tankathon.

JAX (1.01) - Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon

The Jags go for the most talented edge in the class, with interest on Hutchinson cooling slightly after being largely shut down in the Orange Bowl against Georgia. Kayvon has an insane ceiling due to his physical tools, and Jacksonville will be salivating at Kayvon and Josh Allen coming off the edges and terrorising quarterbacks for years to come

DET (1.02) - Aiden Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan

Hutchinson has had an incredibly dominant season in his senior year, and the Lions just go best player available, after deciding to give Jarrod Goff another year as starting quarterback. The senior has dominated most of the defences he's played this year, and will be a asset and cornerstonein the Lions defence.

HOU (1.03) - Evan Neal

Houston decide to give Davis Mills another year starting after showing some promise down the stretch, and shore up protection around him by drafting Neal, and absolute monster who can play anywhere on the line. Neal will be a day 1 starter who will shore up a weak Houston o-line.

NYJ (1.04) - Derek Stingley Jr, CB, LSU

The Jets find themselves in a tough spot. The lack of promising QB's means it's hard to find a suitor to trade down, which would be the ideal option at this spot. The Jets end up picking Stingley a lot earlier than they would have liked. Ikem Okwonu provides an intriguing option, but the Jets opt to continue with the promising George Fant and talented Mekhi Becton at the tackles. Stingley has all the physical tools, but has been inconsistent after a standout freshman year, and will likely improve his stock after a stand-out combine. The Jets hope he can be a worthy investment and become a star outside cornerback.

NYG (1.05) - Ikem Okwonu, OT, NC State

In Andrew Thomas, the Giants have a nice, long term piece in the trenches. That, however, is where the positives end for New York's offensive line. The whole rest of the line has major question marks, and none of them really have deserved their spot. The Giants take the dynamic Okwonu to play opposite Thomas at Tackle, providing a solid pair to protect Jones for likely his last shot at taking the starting job.

CAR (1.06) - Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State

Carolina also opt to improve their dreadful offensive line, with the strong tackle out of Mississippi State. With one of the

What's good r/DynastyFF. Getting to the point of the year where only the true hardcores are still hanging around these parts. With that said, here are my current rookie rankings with landing spots. Positions are based off current draft order and my understanding of team need. Let me know what y'all think. The order I've got these guys might be a little spicy, but this feels like the consensus top 12 at the moment.

1.01 - Malik Willis - Detroit Lions (#2)

The community has cooled off on Malik big time, but I haven’t. Top 5 athlete at the QB position with elite arm talent. Reminds me of Josh Allen. Decision making/ability to process information quickly is a concern, but you can always count on NFL teams convincing themselves they can fix that.

1.02 - Breece Hall - Buffalo Bills (#20)

Breece has become the consensus 1.01 of this class, which is unfortunate cause I want as much of him as possible. Not the biggest or the fastest, but such a patient runner with great burst.

1.03 - Zach Charbonnet - New York Jets (#35)

I just see Nick Chubb whenever I watch this guy. His college resume is filled with question marks, but he’s looked so damn good at UCLA.

1.04 - Isaiah Spiller - Atlanta Falcons (#42)

Another player the community has cooled off on. Catches the ball really well for a guy his size. Bellcow upside. Really like all three of these backs.

1.05 - Matt Corral - New Orleans Saints (#14)

I’m not the biggest Corral guy and think he’ll go later than people expect. Nothing really stands out about his game, but in the right situation he should have ample fantasy upside.

1.06 - Treylon Burks - Detroit Lions (#24)

Doesn't seem like the NFL is as high on Burks as the dynasty community. He certainly passes the eye test, but I assume there’s concerns about his lateral agility and route running. Still think he’ll be the first WR off the board in rookie drafts.

1.07 - Kenneth Walker - Houston Texans (#67)

Am I too low on Walker? Something about him just doesn't convince me. He runs away from people in college but I don’t think he’s fast enough to do that in the NFL.

1.08 - Garret Wilson - Cleveland Browns (#15)

My WR1 of the class. Such a smooth game that should translate to the NFL really well. Fought off tough competition each year and cemented himself as the top dog at OSU.

1.09 - Kenny Pickett - Houston Texans (#3)

I quite like Pickett and think he's gonna make an NFL team really happy. People might be surprise

These are my too early 2022 rookie draft rankings. I'll warn you ahead of time, I have watched less than an hour of film and have not looked at any stats. Most of you will not make it to the end reading this vanity post, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

1.01 Breece Hall, RB Iowa State

He is like David Montgomery but faster and if the sub didn't already hate him.

1.02 Treylon Burks, WR Arkansas

I have seem him comped to DK Metcalf. Those people are dumb. DK Metcalf is 228 pound 4.33 40 god who was drafted late 2nd to filter out all the non believers. Burks is not that, Burks seems to be more Mike Evans to me.

1.03 Isaiah Spiller, RB Texas A&M

If you were to clone former running back great Marshall Faulk, you'd get Spiller--all the way down to the jersey number. While the former number 28 paved a path to Canton with his unrivaled versatility, the latter number 28 will soon be cashing lucrative paychecks in the pros thanks to the same dual-threat distinction. Spiller has a great burst, sub-4.4 speed in the 40, and incredible "make-you-miss" ability. He can get to and around the corner, and is almost unstoppable once he reaches the secondary. He's also an underrated between-the-tackles runner, due in part to the immense shadow cast by his effectiveness in space. Additionally, he's as good a receiver as a running back can be, and he's even established himself as one of college football's finest kickoff return men.

In short, Spiller is arguably the most electrifying player in college football, regardless of division, and a first-round lock for next April's draft. He could even sneak into the top 10, depending on what team is picking where, what that team's needs are, how highly regarded he is by that franchise, and so on. No matter what, though, he'll immediately make a mark--if only as a returner--on the NFL stage.

1.04 Kenneth Walker III, RB Michigan State

This is the guy I have watched the most tape on. Kinda like Leonard Fournette, just not as good in college.

1.05 Drake London, WR USC

The only thing I like more than a good college WR is an injured one. Injured college WRs like Metcalf, Waddle, Terrace Marshall, and OBJ. Basically a guaranteed good WR.

1.06 Garrett Wilson, WR Ohio State

I have not seen this guy but people say he is good.

1.07 David Bell, WR Purdue

I think the NFL needs more BELL. Don't fear his draft stock, We'll be able to fly.

1.08 Jameson Williams,

I mentioned at the top of my previous mock draft post that one person mocks are fun, but they don't bring much to the table. It only allows you to see one perspective and wouldn't resemble many of your real drafts very closely at all. So I reached out to some of my favorite posters on this sub and through the glory of the internet, we mock drafted together. This is how it went.

1.01 Breece Hall, RB Iowa State (BirdSemen)

I know a lot of people are going to be upset that I didn't draft a QB. This was a tough call at the 1.01 between Breece Hall and Treylon Burks. I will likely flop between the two throughout the offseason. Gave Hall the nod this time due to RB positional scarcity. Hall is a good all-purpose RB with a nose for the endzone. I see him as an RB2 floor with Top 5 RB upside.

1.02 Treylon Burks, WR Arkansas (Killtec7)

A program defining career for the Razorback receiver. On top of an excellent college career, he will test ‘good enough’ at minimum. Solid profile including an early breakout against quality competition, and quality performance against man coverage. Don’t overthink it. If nothing changes between now and May–draft Treylon.

1.03 Matt Corral QB, Ole Miss (Swoody11)

When I was going through the pre-draft process, I remember saying “I generally don’t like touching QB’s from this class before 1.04.” Well… Here we are. What this pick comes down to, for me, is being more afraid of losing Corral and being “stuck” with any of the other guys if I pass on him at 1.03. I love Corral’s legs (very underrated part of his game) and think that his escapability will help him grow into a more refined passer at the NFL level. His ceiling is pretty high in my opinion but more importantly, I think he has a real floor as a stable NFL starter. I can’t say the same for any other prospects in this class, minus maybe Pickett.

1.04 Kenneth Walker III, RB Michigan State (Slyger_Woods)

I’ve started souring on Spiller just a little bit. On top of that, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Walker be the first RB off the board come draft day. I don’t think anyone is doubting Walker’s talent on the ground and from what I’ve seen I think he can offer a good enough receiving game to keep him on the field as often as possible. I was tempted to grab my WR2 Garret Wilson here, but positional scarcity brings Walker up a little further.

1.05 Isaiah Spiller, RB Texas A&M (BirdSemen)

With Burks gone I don’t see a need to attack the WR position a

Here's what the new month brings you!

Books:

TLDR : This is a sum of the most important Universal Basic Income experiments (when you hand over enough cash to people to survive, for free, without any conditions), that shows that it works in alleviating all social issues, poverty, illnesses, unemployment and lack of education, proving to be far more effective than traditional traditional welfare state approaches, with its monstruous bureauratic conundrum, while costing much less money too !

London, May 2009 – An experiment is under way. Its subjects: thirteen homeless men. They are veterans of the street. Some have been sleeping on the cold pavement of the Square Mile, Europe’s financial center, for going on forty years. Between the police expenses, court costs, and social services, these thirteen troublemakers have racked up a bill estimated at £400,000 ($650,000) or more.

Per year. The strain on city services and local charities is too great for things to go on this way. So Broadway, a London-based aid organization, makes a radical decision: From now on, the city’s thirteen consummate drifters will be getting VIP treatment. It’s adiós to the daily helpings of food stamps, soup kitchens, and shelters. They’re getting a drastic and instantaneous bailout. From now on, these rough sleepers will receive free money. To be exact, they’re getting £3,000 in spending money, and they don’t have to do a thing in return.

How they spend it is up to them. They can opt to make use of an advisor if they’d like – or not. There are no strings attached, no questions to trip them up.

The only thing they’re asked is: What do you think you need?

“I didn’t have enormous expectations,” one social worker later recalled.

But the drifters’ desires proved eminently modest. A telephone, a dictionary, a hearing aid – each had his own ideas about what he needed. In fact, most were downright thrifty. After one year, they had spent an average of just £800. Take Simon, who had been strung out on heroin for twenty years. The money turned his life around. Simon got clean and started taking gardening classes. “For some reason, for the first time in my life, everything just clicked,” he said later. “I’m starting to look after myself, wash and shave. Now I’m thinking of going back home. I’ve got two kids.” A year and a half after the experiment began, seven of the thirteen rough sleepers had a roof over their heads. Two more were about to move into their own apartments.

Like many people in this sub, I consume too much draft content. Over the past few weeks, players have declared, experts are releasing mocks, and media members who are plugged into the NFL start letting us know some things that they are hearing from league scouts. I've tried to create a mock which incorporates a lot of what I've heard. As is the case, they are all probably releasing smokescreens so what you see below is all probably a bunch of crap.

Multiple teams view Drake London as the clear-cut WR1 (Kiper)

Matt Miller says Nakobe Dean is not LB1 on the boards of any team he has talked to. Christian Harris is higher than most media members currently have ranked.

Jim Nagy says that Dameon Pierce is likely RB3 on most teams boards.

Jim Nagy thinks that Trevor Penning and another player (likely Charles Cross) will be in the running for OT3 and a top 10 pick.

Arnold Ebiketie is expected to show out at the Senior Bowl, with experts saying he'll go in Rd. 1. Nagy and Kiper are both very high on him.

Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley are neck and neck for CB1, but Stingley's injury history could hurt him. (Kiper).

DeMarvin Leal's value may take a hit because he is a true tweener. True EDGE players may jump him in the draft.

Boye Mafe is being slept on. Reports say he is expected to run in the 4.5s, jump 40+ inches, and broad jump 10 1/2 feet. Stats are also there to back up athleticism.

Quay Walker and Channing Tindall are both highly regarded by NFL Teams, and will be day 2 picks.

Medicals will push Carson Strong down the board. Without the knee issue, he'd be in the QB1 discussion. (Zierlein)

Tariq Woolen is expected to run in the low 4.3s and could break into the upper 4.2s. He is a 6'2" 200 lb CB.

Zach Wilson said that he would expect the Jets to target defense early, and prioritize offense later and in FA (according to a BYU source who spoke with Zach, and not that Zach actually knows anything but hey, it is something)

Trade ups for players are less likely to happen as top end talent is at a minimum this year.

Thibs has some maturity and stiffness issues which may cause him to fall (DJ)

This is my Just For Fun Two Round Mock. I am not an expert like Gouge so lower your expectations. I may not give a blurb for each pick if I don't feel like it. This is Just For Fun so please be respectful with critiques in the comments.

1. Jags - Kayvon Thibodeaux EDGE Oregon
With Cam Robinson potentially leaving in FA, they could consider Neal here. But the upside of pairing Thibs with Josh Allen is too high to pass up.

2. Lions - Aidan Hutchinson EDGE Michigan
The Lions get some much needed effort getting at the passer with the local kid.

3. TRADE: Broncos (from Texans) - Matt Corral QB Ole Miss
The Broncos trade a 2023 1st and maybe a 2nd too, not sure what it would take with the Houston Texans. They have a contender level roster in a loaded division and need to get ahead of Carolina and potential trade up candidates like WFT, Pitt, etc. to secure a QB. As for the Texans, they need to make up for the loss of capital that Bill O'Brien bled out of the organization. They have a ton of holes and can still get a top 10 player.

4. Jets - Kyle Hamilton S Notre Dame
Saleh will be salivating at the chance to scheme up a safety with as much versatility as Hamilton. They might have gone corner, and could still address it later, but their young CB's have played above expectation this season.

5. Giants - Evan Neal OT Alabama
What luck, this is a dream scenario for NY who needs serious help on the line of scrimmage.

6. Panthers - Ikem Ekwonu OT NC State
With Darnold already costing $19MM in 2022, the Panthers opt for the sensible choice and bolster a tattered offensive line rather than add another QB to the roster.

7. Giants - George Karlaftis EDGE Purdue
NY shores up the other side of the ball and adds some needed pass rush.

8. Falcons - Nakobe Dean LB Georgia
Dean's ability to attack the run and blitz the passer is an attractive option for a Falcons defense with only a handful of bright spots.

9. Texans (from Broncos) - Derek Stingley CB LSU
Texans land a potential difference maker in the secondary that they may have taken at 3 overall anyway. Add in some 2023 picks and you can't beat it.

10. Jets - David Ojabo EDGE Michigan
Five pass rushers in the Top 10 seems crazy, but with so many teams either not in a position or not in need of a QB, the edge class dries up quick. Ojabo is unpolished but Saleh should be able to develop and extract his potential as good or even better than just about an

Hey everyone,

Please provide all constructive feedback for this mock. I'll try to get to everyone's comments. I'll consider all feedback for my pre-Super Bowl mock. I especially want to hear from those who are fans of teams who have more than two picks, or picks only in the second round.

1. JAX Evan Neal, OT, Alabama / Protect Trevor Lawrence at all costs. Neal is an experienced OT and fills a big need.
2. DET Aidan Hutchinson, DE, Michigan / Local kid stays home and knee-bites for Dan Campbell. Hutchinson starts day one on an impressive young defensive line.
3. HOU Ikem Ekwonu, OL, NC State / I haven't seen this connection, but why not? The Texans roster needs help pretty much everywhere. Ekwonu is the most versatile OL in the draft.
4. NYJ Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE, Oregon / Saleh values a strong defensive line. I see Thibodeaux in a big market, and he could become a star in the Big Apple.
5. NYG Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa / This OL needs an overhaul. Linderbaum is one of the safer picks in this year's draft, and fills a need.
6. CAR Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame / ​​​​​Carolina can go a few directions here, but they opt for best player available. Hamilton will become a leader on this defence day one.
7. NYG (via CHI) Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State / Giants double-dip at OL. Cross can solidify this unit to get it back to respectability.
8. ATL Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State / The Falcons are desperate at receiver. Receiver is a pick-your-poison type of position, and they opt for Wilson here.
9. DEN Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh / Assuming they don't get Rodgers, Denver needs a QB. Pickett is the clear QB1 in an underwhelming QB class.
10. NYJ (via SEA) Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas / The Jets WR corps has underwhelmed and are injury prone. Burks provides them with a dominant WR1 option.
11. WSH Matt Corral, QB, Mississippi / Taylor Heinicke will only get you so far. The Washington 2.2.22's will put their hopes with a QB in the draft.
12. MIN Sauce Gardner, CB, Cincinnati / Corners this good don't grow on trees. New Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah hits it out of the park with this first pick.
13. CLE David Ojabo, DE, Michigan / The Browns defensive line has gotten too expensive to keep the band together. Ojabo acted as an elite Robin next to Batman Aidan Hutchinson, so he'll fit in well as the Robin to Myles Garrett.
14. BAL George Karlaftis, DE, Purdue / The Ravens let the draft come to them and pic

I did 50 a little while back, I made some changes after watching more and added some, I’m at 75 on my road to my top 150 big board. Note: the only real positional value taken into account is QB

I have done a few mocks before that have received relatively positive feedback. However, all of my other mocks do not have trades. I wanted to generate some trades and create a mock that might be a bit of a stretch mock but still somewhat possible. Considering most of us aren't draft experts I guess all of these are a stretch though right? Would still love feedback.

Before seeing the mock I have a few predictions that influence the mock:

1. As the title says, I'm making this draft while I can't sleep. I took some time to predict a couple of key FA signings that influence the mock:

a) Leonard Fournette signs with Miami

b) OBJ signs with Las Vegas

c) Jameis Winston signs with Pittsburgh

d) JuJu signs with Philly

e) Allen Robinson signs with Pittsburgh

f) Calais Campbell signs with the Chargers

g) Jadeveon Clowney signs with Cincinnati

2. The trades are a bit out there, but I combined looking at several sites to try and generate somewhat realistic deals.

Trades:

1. HOU trades pick 3 to WAS for their first round pick (11), second round pick (42) and fourth round pick (110).

2. ATL trades pick 8 and a fourth round selection to PHI for picks 15 and 51

3. NYJ trades pick 10 to ARI for picks 23 and 55

4. BAL trades pick 14 to LAC for pick 17 and a fourth round pick

Without further adieu - the mock:

ROUND 1

1. JAX - Evan Neal - OT - Bama

2. DET - Kayvon Thibodeaux - Edge - Oregon

3. WAS (via HOU) - Matt Corral - QB - Ole Miss

4. NYJ - Aidan Hutchinson - Edge - Michigan

5. NYG - Kenyon Green - OG - Texas A&M

6. CAR - Tyler Linderbaum - OC - Iowa

7. NYG - George Karlaftis - Edge - Purdue

8. PHI (via ATL) - Kyle Hamilton - S - Notre Dame

9. DEN - Charles Cross -OT - Mississippi State

10. ARI (via NYJ) - Derek Stingley Jr. - CB - LSU

11. HOU (via WAS) - Garrett Wilson - WR - Ohio State

12. MIN - Andrew Booth Jr. - CB - Clemson

13. CLE - David Ojabo - Edge - Michigan

14. LAC (via BAL) - Ikem Ekwonu - OG - NC State (He is listed as a tackle but I think he plays guard in the NFL)

15. ATL (via PHI) - Kenny Pickett - QB - Pitt

16. PHI - Ahmad Gardner - CB - Cincinnati

17. BAL (via LAC) - DeMarvin Leal - DT - Texas A&M

18. NO - Chris Olave - WR - Ohio State

19. PHI - Devin Lloyd - LB - Utah

20. PIT - Trevor Penning - OT - Northern Iowa

21. NE - Kaiir Elam - CB - Florida

22. LV - Jordan Davis - DT - Georgia

24. DAL - Daxton Hill - S - Michigan

Happy New Year all!

Can't wait for April!

1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE

Aidan Hutchinson has been getting the hype as of late, but I think if the Jaguars make this pick it will be Thibodeaux. Especially after teams get to see KT doing drills. He is a truly special athlete for the position and would provide an incredible duo with Josh Allen. Help for Trevor Lawrence would be ideal, but there is no offensive position worth the pick.

2. Detroit Lions - Aidan Hutchinson, DE

Lions get Hutchinson, and they could not be more elated. This second pick is the easiest in the draft, as you take the other defensive end that is available. Both appear to be extremely strong defensive players to build a team around.

3. Houston Texans - George Karlaftis, DE

A draft has never started with three consecutive defensive ends, but I think 2022 breaks that weird record. Mills has shown enough that he deserves an offseason and start next season (plus if it doesn't work out, the 2023 QBs appear much better). So all Houston can do is select the best player available. It would likely be between Hamilton and Karlaftis, and either would be a great pick. I think they go Karlaftis here.

4. New York Jets - Evan Neal, OT

The Jets would have loved a DE, but in this scenario they miss out. The defensive side of the ball is a must, but also building around Zach Wilson is incredibly important. Neal is a very versatile, stud offensive linemen. If Becton can turn it around and AVT holds down a guard spot, Neal would make this offensive lines one of the league's best.

5. New York Giants - Matt Corral, QB

I know everyone is going to yell at me about the quarterbacks in this class, and I truly agree. They aren't special. But I am a true believer that there are four QBs in this class that teams can really talk themselves into. Whether it is the floor or ceiling, each one has something intriguing about them. I know the Giants said they will commit to Daniel Jones for next season, but I think that really only adds to why they would select Corral here. Corral would sit next season, with maybe a game or two of action, and would not be thrusted in to start. Plus as of today, the Giants have two top ten picks. They should take advantage of this and take the gamble on Corral.

6. Carolina Panthers - Charles Cross, OT

I think one of the veteran QBs ends up in Carolina. Cross appears primed to be a great NFL left tackle, of which the Panthers desperately need.

7. TRADE Denv

1. Detroit Lions - EDGE Aidan Hutchinson, Michigan – Detroit is a team with many needs. In a battle between Hutchinson and Thibodeaux as the best player in the draft, the Lions go with the hometown kid.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars - OT Evan Neal, Alabama – While the stories of Trevor Lawrence running for his life every game are over blown, giving the new franchise QB a clean pocket to throw should be the Jaguars top priority.

3. Houston Texans - EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux, Oregon – A pass rusher isn’t their biggest need but the Texans can’t say no to the highly talented Thibodeaux.

4. New York Jets - EDGE George Karlaftis, Purdue – The Jets defense needs help at all levels. Karlaftis might be the third best at his position in the draft, but he’s still a top talent who will help the Jets get to the QB.

5. New York Giants - IOL Tyler Linderbaum, Iowa – The Giants don’t know if Daniel Jones is the answer because he’s rarely had a chance to throw in a clean pocket to show what he can do. Linderbaum is one step in the process of improving the O-Line.

Trade #1 New York (Giants) trades #6 to New Orleans for #13, #44, a 2023 2nd Round pick, and a 2023 4th Round pick.

6. New Orleans Saints - QB Matt Corral, Ole Miss – The Saints make the jump to nab the future face of the franchise for the next decade plus. Corral has improved year over year, and looks to be the top QB in this class.

7. New York Jets – S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame – I wasn’t kidding when I said the Jets defense needs help at all levels. Hamilton is a freakish athlete that will offer the Jets a lot of versatility in their coverage.

8. Carolina Panthers – OT Charles Cross, Mississippi State – The Panthers might have considered QB if Corral was still available. With him gone, they look to improve their O-Line in order to help protect whoever ends up taking the snaps for them.

9. Atlanta Falcons – CB Derek Stingley Jr., LSU – Stingley would have been a Top 3pick if it wasn’t for the fact that he missed most of this season after having surgery on his left foot. A healthy Stingley paired with Terrell would give the Falcons one of the best CB duos in the NFL.

10. Philadelphia Eagles – CB Andrew Booth Jr., Clemson – The Eagles are another team that needs to address every level of their defense. Booth should give them a solid CB2 to start the season, and will be someone to eventually take over for Slay at CB1.

11. Philadelphia Eagles – WR Garrett Wilson, Ohio State – Hurts has shown pro

Hello all! about a month ago I posted the first 'cumulative mock draft'. I've been keeping the data of all of the picks from the weekly mock draft thread posted here every Tuesday morning. It's my favorite post here and I look forward to it every week. I want to tell anyone reading this who hasn't already

#POST IN THE WEEKLY MOCK DRAFT THREAD

You don't have to be an 'expert' or even be all that familiar with this class to engage with the post. There was a comment a week or two ago where a user mentioned that the thread is a 'thought exercise' and that we shouldn't go chalk all the time. There's a lot of ways you can use this thread, especially now that we know our leagues draft orders. You can go in and pick as if you are on the clock in your real draft, or you could even go in and take a pick as if you are your league mate in front of you to see what the people behind you will do. It's a great way to get a feel for the class and how the draft might end up, even this far in advance.

Also the more engagement that post gets, the more information we will have on ADP, which is always a great thing. As you will see in the post, making it past pick 19-20 isn't the most common thing right now.

Now that the begging is over, let's see what has changed in ADP over the last month.

Meet the 2022 Class - WRs

You can find my post about the 2022 QB class here

and you can find my post on the 2022 RB class here

and you can find my post on the 2022 TE class here

As the season comes to a close and the in-game film stops rolling, it’s really time to see what this draft class has to offer and what you should be looking for to strengthen your roster.

I want to start this by laying to rest what many people here have been told:

THIS IS NOT A BAD DRAFT CLASS

Many people are coming around and I have definitely seen the pendulum swing toward the right direction. This is a DEEP class, loaded mostly at WR. But there are still some top end players I like at QB and RB as well as some second rounders I will be happy to take a chance on. Do not let anyone tell you that just because the top end talent isn’t as high as previous years that means 2022 picks are trash.

The way I have set this up is through a tier list. As I’m sure you all know, tier based drafting is the only way to draft in any circumstance. My tiers assume best possible landing spot at the NFL Draft and are divided by where I would be comfortable taking them in a super flex rookie draft;

• S tier - Top half of the first round
• A tier - First round
• B tier - Second round
• C tier - Third round
• D tier- Fourth/someone to monitor after the draft

Oh boy this is the hotly debated part of the draft and I am ready for it! I honestly love this crop of WRs. From first round to fourth round there is value and there are play. makers. I've got some chalk here and there but I've definitely got some heat lined up in my rankings and tiers too. So sit back and grab some popcorn or sit up and get the debating fingers going because this should be fun.

• S tier - Treylon Burks, Arkansas; Garret Wilson, Ohio State; Jahan Dotson, Penn State; Drake London, USC; David Bell, Purdue;

• A tier - Jameson Williams, Alabama; Chris Olave, Ohio State; George Pickens, Georgia

• B tier - Jalen Tolbert, Southern Alabama; Romeo Doubs, Nevada; Wan'Dale Robinson, Kentucky; John Metchie, Alabama

• C tier - Justyn Ross, Clemson; Zay Flo

Took everyone's feedback into consideration.

ROUND 1

1. Detroit: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan; Detroit picks a homegrown talent with the proven production to continue its years-long rebuild. Hutchinson has the size, power and speed to succeed at the NFL level.
2. Jacksonville: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama; Jacksonville needs to keep Trevor Lawrence upright, and Neal is a 6'7, 360lb specimen who can do just that. With Cam Robinson scheduled to leave in FA, Neal is a mighty tantalizing prospect with the potential upside of a massive upgrade long-term.
3. Houston: Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon; There's one thing Houston has prioritized early and often, it's the front seven. Eight of Houston's eighteen first round picks have been along the defensive trenches, with names like JJ Watt, Whitney Mercilus and Amobi Okoye. Thibodeaux is a generational prospect who can become a franchise player in Houston.
4. New York J: Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU; A lights-out cornerback prospect who can hang with the very best of them. Head coach Robert Saleh must be giddy at the chance to draft a talent with the potential to become the next Darrelle Revis.
5. New York G: Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State; The Giants now have the league's worst offensive line after LAC has largely fixed its own issues by drafting Rashawn Slater and signing Corey Linsley. Ekwonu is a rock solid prospect who can help keep Daniel Jones upright.
6. New York G: George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue; The Giants also need a pass-rushing force opposite rookie Azeez Ojulari, and Karlaftis is the third of the big 4 pass rushers in the top 10 who can terrorize opposing quarterbacks.
7. New York J: David Ojabo, EDGE Michigan; Ojabo is a high-upside prospect who can help the other New York team complete a defensive line that's been excellent at penetrating opposing inside offensive lines, but not so much along the edges.
8. Carolina: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss; I'm not sure QB is the right move for Carolina here personally, but it's definitely something an impatient Matt Rhule would do. In 2 years he's gotten rid of Cam Newton, got his replacement, got rid of said replacement, got another replacement, benched that replacement and brought back Newton. Corral is a prospect with a proven arm in CFB's toughest conference.
9. Atlanta: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame; Atlanta is one to go BPA here, as it did with Pitts in 2021. Hamilton is a safety with rare length and ball skills, and he could be a terrorizing force

First I would like to point out this is entirely analytical, there is zero bias involved and by the numbers I ran this is the order of each position. The basic calculation though is through their college fantasy points per game along with their ranking coming out of high school which I used as a metric for:

1. Their overall perceived talent
2. Level of competition they played against in college.

While it’s not perfect it did lead to some interesting results as I included stats of players from the same position from previous drafts. I also made a section to rank the players based off efficiency to find guys who were perhaps underutilized in college which I will include for RB and WR.

TE’s were a complete shit show so I did not include them.

Feel free to let me know what you think and if there are any players that will be in the draft this year that I missed.

This was something I did in free time at work so please be gentle.

I took a look at the top 20ish non-qb prospects that are typically mocked here to see how ESPN graded them...I was surprised. I have become pretty high on the depth of this class & these grades outside of the top WR's are just not what I expected. Interested to see what others think.

ESPN's grades outside of the top-50 are usually behind a paywall, but you can get around it through going on Draftcast - https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft/bestavailable

I encourage y'all to look at the 2021 grades as well.

Ramon Jefferson - RB, Analytically wise is very similar to Javonte Williams, Most comparable in college this season, Kenneth Walker is close second. He will be a late round steal, will come in and compete for starting job.

Treylon Burks - WR, is a complete stud, His last two seasons is over 150+ passer rating when targeted. Think he will be a stud. A big boy too. I think he will be better then Garrett Wilson

Trey Mcbride - TE , Wont be as good as Kyle Pitts, but will be a solid starter.

Tyler Linderbaum - C , He is a better version of last years Humphrey, I remember someone said about creed he is just a multiple all pro in the making before the draft, that is the same way i feel about Linderbaum

Max Mitchell - T , Starter
Bernhard Raimann - T , Could be a hit or miss but looks quality.
Darian Kinnard - T , Future 10 year starter

Ahmad Gardner - CB , Beastttt , Best CB in the draft.

I'm looking to make my yearly list of prospect to watch film on. These are the guy I have so far. If yall have anyone else you think I should take a look at please comment down below.
