2023 SF Board Mock Draft - comments

[BlueridgeBronc1]

Jerry Jeudy still out here. Seeking mid-to-late R1 or R2 and a player at a position of need, but open to discussion if you have an idea.

[tbsteel]

Anyone want to trade up for the Ravens pick at #22? Open for any offers.

[fractalsteel]

@fractalsteel Dan Moore is available in trade. Just in case.

5th rounder and a signed Brooks Orpik puck for Moore.

[Jizz Mop]

Curious to see if Mayer or Kincaid will be first TE off the Fury board

Amazing how what we do here in the Fury draft mirrors so closely the actual draft

That wouldn’t happen if we didn’t have so many gurus

Damn. Needed a Ross Lupaschuk to round out my collection. Would really tie the room together.

[Charles Demarr]

I like the Kincaid selection for the Chargers.

I would have if certain people would stop picking my targets.

Washington is notably bigger faster and a helluva better blocker than those two and likely better hands and run after catch ability

I don’t know who is getting drafted where

I know Washington in the right situation has a chance to be the kind of special game changing dual threat player those two can only dream of

The TEs were picked in the order I expect so far, FWIW. Maybe each a couple of picks earlier than on the day, but nothing crazy or unrealistic.

Tempting. If it were some Teddy Blueger gear I'd be all over it.

Quite a circle jerk here at Fury

I haven't given my opinions on the subject to anyone, so not sure who's jerking who!

GM Jizz Mop made his selection at 9:30 last night, EST

16 hours and 22 mins later 10 more picks have been made

But let’s just start from 9am

That’s 10 picks in 7 hours

For an average of 42 minutes a selection

I’m noting this and will be way more than 5 mins on the clock when pick 43 rolls around

If so, we have a gif for you!

Good landing spot for Addison, btw, JL58.

[Pabst]

Well.....most of my targets were picked, so I went with the best RB prospect since Saquon.

The Bills did a nice job upgrading the IOL in Free Agency. They have some needs elsewhere, but Robinson is a massive upgrade at RB. This pick gives them a 2 headed monster at RB. Frankly I don't think Cook is anything more than a change of pace back anyway.

[Ice]

A real running game could do wonders for the offense in Buffalo, and really have a chance to get Josh Allen back on track. Could really help out that team, Pabst.

[tbsteel]

If he was the highest rated player on your board, then he was the highest rated player on your board. No need to count past that. If you were trying to optimize positionally to set up your next two picks, i frown at you sir

But yeah, premium position + all american + some well above average nfl tools + still pretty young seems pretty justifiable at #17 overall.

No, I wasn't gopiong outside my board. My board priorities for like at least 15 years now:

1. transcendent talents as BPA
2. best by a large margin at their position, which happens to be a position of need
3. great talent & fit at a position which is a need and which isn't deep in this class
4. position need/fit
5. outlier athlete or talent at depth position

BUT. I might think John Stallworth is the best prospect in the draft and I also might think it's okay to wait to pick him until Round 4 if I have other HOFers on the board to pick and I'm all but certain I can get him later.

Truthfully, I don't have guys ranked 1-100... more like tiers. For my most recent pick, I chose between 4 guys all in the same tier.

I mean, if we go Dawand Jones, I'll live with it.... planet theory and all. And on this board I doubt he would last to #32 as he more likely is in the real deal.

But man, his footwork is baaaad. Any OL coach worth a damn would love to have a guy like him in the room to help mold though.

I don't see this at all. Like, for example, I think Broderick Jones' footwork is wayyyy worse. So mechanical. Dawand Jones moves like an athlete, especially pulling and moving laterally. He's been asked 95% of the time to short set, so he's definitely better at that but whatever issues he can clean up with his footwork, his sheer size and width will cover up. As I said to someone earlier today: he's a better athlete and prospect than Orlando Brown by a fair margin, and some team just won a SB with him at LT.

Who are you kidding... you are 10-second johnny

[SteelerDayTrader]

Was Jones drafted at RT ?? For the direction the Steelers are headed I think it’s a good move

6’8 imo is the upper limit in the nfl though

[bradshaw2ben]

Does anyone want to move up a little? Depending on how the next two picks fall, I may not need too much for 2.33.

[BlueridgeBronc1]

In the real world, the Texans are suddenly getting a whole lot more talented. Was looking at their roster this morning, and it was slim pickins, but the last two additions should help a young QB.

A part of me believes that the ‘height ceiling’ for the NFL is due to the reality that if you are 6’9” and athletic, the only reason to play in the NFL is that you hate money.

In that division... maybe with the exception of the Jags.

Maybe. But not every tall guy can play in the nba.


I can like the pick because it fits where the Steelers are going but I still don’t think that path is the best one in 2023 and beyond

[Greeksteel]

I like the Kincaid selection for the Chargers.

Thanks CD

True, but every tall guy thinks they can!

Hey—somebody please wake me when KC picks. Thanks, management.

Not sure how long it takes to type the words Zay Flowers...
