Geek's Mock Plan: 2023 V2

I think a lot of these players will be gone by the time you have them being drafted. Looks great though.

Very true. But you never know how it truly unfolds at the end of the day. I cross-referenced my board and selections with all the big boards, mock drafts, and simulators out there. 80/20 these guys were available in the slots.

Been checking out Dorian Williams as a 3rd LB, also Daiyan Henley and Mohamoud Diabate

So we're giving up a 2024 second and a 3rd for Freeland? That's too rich for me.

I was initially against trading '24 assets, but think about this:
- We are projected to net two 3rd round comp picks as well as a 4th and 6th due to HC/GM hires and FA losses. And outside of the 5th we traded for CMC, we have the rest of our initial draft picks. Assuming it's a late 2nd round pick, that's not too bad for a trade up.
- We will likely have a decision on Trey Lance vs. Brock Purdy by that time. If they both perform well, we can look for aggressive trade offers in the '24 offseason to reload on some good draft picks.
- We also have a decision to make on Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. No way we can afford both, and Aiyuk's contract will be more flexible on that 5th year option.

Given all of that, we shouldn't be too concerned with a '24 2nd round pick to secure our starting Right Tackle. At least, I didn't trade up for a RB.

I'm not moving a top 64 pick in 2024, especially for someone in this draft class. You want to move any of those comp picks or anything after a 2nd then sure.

I like Freeland. I don't love him enough to do that. You can get some decent RT prospects without having to go that route.

just my two cents.

You could give up a 2nd rd pick for a damn good vet right now.

Looks good. We did similar things with the earlier picks. I had Ji'Ayir Brown and Christopher Smith available at 99-102 and chose Smith. Similarly I had Sam LaPorta gone by 99 and chose Zack Kuntz, but it could easily be Kuntz gone and LaPorta available.

You're right, you can find some decent right tackle prospects. But you're not gonna find a starter and what he did trading up with solidify our offense of line and not risk it with Colton.

I personally don't care about what trade you made you made great decisions and great draft picks. I would love for this to happen. And thank you for solidifying the offensive line right away.
