The ESPN.com has blessed us with some early Insider mock from Matt Miller (I guess he won a raffle or something?). Anywho, on to the good stuff!

Matt's Musings

#15 to the Bengals - Michael Mayer, which I gotta say would be disgusting
and a nice new entrant...

#23 to the Texans - Isaiah Foskey, listed as an OLB but notes he has prototypical 4-3 DE size as well, that's one of those good problems

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I found an early Mock 2022 Draft. I'll leave it at this:

In the end, you have to fill internet space and get clicks somehow.

Welcome to message boards!

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Welcome to message boards!

I hope you're not being sensitive.

Not exercising my second amendment rights on the messenger, but Matt Miller doesn't have a clue, though to no fault of his own. Nobody saw Travon Walker being the first overall pick in November 2021 let alone June 2021.

But thanks for sharing regardless. Mayer and Foskey should be in good position to go early if things fall into place.

Lol, not even a little bit. I would hope me saying that Matt Miller must have won a raffle to get to do an Insider mock draft on THE flagship sports entertainment television network's website would be a bit of a tell.

I keep these threads running each year to watch the ebbs and flows. AND to get the board clicks so they get sweet discounts at advertisers like Sportdog...Sportdog.com, your home for all your hunting dog needs! That's Sportdog.com!

Is sportsdog.com the banner ads you get? All i keep getting is ads for Ohio State season tickets and at home std tests.


Oh wait am I not in the Ohio State is fucking my wife thread anymore?

 

[Armyirish47]

ESPN.com continues to make dreams come true by letting random strangers do mock drafts on Insider articles. The latest and greatest still features two of the good guys in the first round.

Help us Mel Kiper Jr, you're our only hope

Get to the good parts!

#13 Tennessee Titans = Gronk 2.0
#20 Minnesota Vikings = Foskey time

Other dudes that impact our collective happiness next year:

# 3 CJ Stroud: he's a problem
# 6 Skoronski: Bobbymac wept
# 7 Smith-Njigba: see also Stroud, CJ
#12 Simpson from Clemson: meh
#15 Bresee: hoping for an injury setback
#17 Paris Johnson: rumor has it he gets exposed Week 1
#18 Murphy from Clemson: uh oh...
#19 Addison: should be slowed down from all the bags

I just can’t get 100% healthy so I need to do that.

That’s literally all he had to say. People make life so hard on themselves.

Gotta be some sort of medical issue or something?

Seems downright irresponsible to return and turn down an early draft projection for just the love of the team, even NIL.

NFL Draft season is now kicking into high gear with declarations of intent and rankings adjustments galore. Draft Daddy Mel posted an Insider ESPN.COM article this morning with his latest and greatest draft board for all of us to mock.

Mel's Movers

Overall Rank:

#13 Michael Mayer - down from #8 but also recognized as close to a sure thing as possible. Big body, big catches, big matchup problems. EZ money.

Positional Ranks:
Tight End
#1 Michael Mayer

Guard
#4 Jarrett Patterson

Outside Linebacker
#5 Isaiah Foskey

Safety
Just missed the the top 10
Brandon Joseph (very interesting, emphasis mine)

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I would love to see Mayer go high but TE just isn’t a position that typically gets filled w/ a top 10 pick. There’s exceptions like Kyle Pitts & the Hockensen kid recently but I suspect Mayer goes late first. Still really good spot to be and more likely a better franchise.

100% agreed. Pitts is the obvious exception as no TE has ever been drafted higher. It would certainly go against the recent trends, but then again we all know how good Mayer really is. Brock Bowers wears Michael Mayer pajamas.

Todd McShay gets in on the pre bowl season mock fun in an ESPN.com Insider only article.

Ya Mockin Me Crazy

#12 Houston Texans - Michael Mayer
"Mayer is a big target with a wide catch radius and the strength to run over defenders after the catch. And after back-to-back seasons with 800-plus receiving yards and seven or more TD catches, he might be the safest prospect in the class. He'd be a reliable pass-catcher, a go-to option in the red zone and an effective in-line blocker for the Texans. "

#31 Philadelphia Eagles - Isaiah Foskey
"Foskey uses his great initial burst to put offensive tackles on their heels, and he had 11 sacks in each of the past two seasons. "

 

[Dale]

Can’t remember which thread we discussed it but my guess was wrong, Duggan declares for the draft. TCU likes Morris but would think they at least glance at Card.

 

[Dale]

and now Bo is back as rumored.

 

[KPENN]

and now Bo is back as rumored.

I’m happy this dude has a strong year.

 

[Armyirish47]

The big dog Kiper is bringing the heat back to draft talk (FINALLY) with his updated mockery in an ESPN.com Insider article (bundle with hulu!!!) He did not include projected trades in this one and I would expect we will see at least some movement from da Bears from #1.

Kiper Talk

Players of Not(r)e:

# 15 Green Bay: Michael Mayer - their tight ends are free agents, Mayer is the bee's knees, it just makes sense

# 29 Denver Broncos: Isaiah Foskey - they need an edge, Foskey can play in any system and get to the QB, so see a need fill a need

 

[ACamp1900]

If our defensive guys could stop going to NFL teams I absolutely hate that would be great...

Nah, Elway is a massive d bag but it’s more the fans. They annoy the shit out of me

 

[Irish du Nord]

The Vikes could use Foskey if he's available.
