Vai5 mock draft 1

Vai5684 · 2025-03-18T10:21:43-07:00

This year we need all the draft that we can get. Here's is my mo k draft with one trade. We trade with the Seahawks. Seattle get 11th pick and we get there 18th, 50th and 4th next year. 18.Kelvin Banks Jr.OT Texas Height: 6 - 5 |Weight: 315 lbs Kelvin Banks Jr. has all the physical attributes needed to be a high-level starting offensive lineman at the NFL level. He has the athletic traits that scouts drool over at the offensive tackle position. He's a natural mover with quick feet and impressive short-area explosiveness. Thanks to his low center of gravity and determined mentality, he's capable of driving defenders off the ball too. The big issue with Banks revolves around how he uses his hands, which can affect his contact balance and make it tougher for him to maximize his physical attributes. Because of that, he could face somewhat of a learning curve against more polished NFL defenders. Though Banks could slide inside at guard if needed, whichever team drafts him will probably keep him at offensive tackle 43.Walter NolenDT Ole Miss Height: 6 - 3 |Weight: 296 lbs Walter Nolen is an athletic 3-technique defensive tackle, which is a valuable asset in today's NFL. Combine that with his leap in production in 2024 and his top-notch pedigree, and it's not hard to see why many are high on him entering the NFL. Although only 21 years old, Nolen has shown improvement as a technician over the years, which has helped him make better use of his freakish combination of speed and power. He still has some more development to do, but he has shown that he's coachable, and that's an important trait for future success. With an NFL-ready frame and in-game athleticism that's well above average for his position, Nolen figures to be an early-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. If he can continue to develop his plan as a pass rusher and work on his pad leverage a little bit, Nolen possesses a high ceiling at the next level. Gifted young prospects with production at a Power Four level don't often fall out of the first round 50. Jonah Savaiinaea. OT Arizona Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 324 lbs | Jonah Savaiinaea projects best as an offensive guard at the NFL level, where his average range as a blocker due to a lack of top-notch length and agility can be better masked. Because of his abilities in pass protection, his ceiling is arguably higher inside, as well. A sturdy, well-built offensive lineman with a powerful anchor, Savaiinaea does a good job of keeping his pads low and his weight underneath him. Though he's primarily experienced as a zone-run blocker, he has enough gap experience to project into that kind of system, too. He also has a strong upper body and keeps a wide base as a blocker. Savaiinaea's inside-outside versatility should help him, as he could realistically step in as a starter right away at whichever position his NFL team needs him at the most. He's a plug-and-play starter who could be a good tackle or a great guard, and it's just a matter of which of the two you would prioritize from there. 75.Deone WalkerDT Kentucky Height: 6 - 7 |Weight: 331 lbs Deone Walker is simply a massive individual with the length, size, and power that makes him a hassle to block 1-on-1. If you're an opposing offensive lineman and fail to block him with proper technique, he's going to out-physical you every time. It's Walker's athleticism for his size that makes him so special, though. His quickness off the ball and in pursuit of ball carriers is scary good for someone pushing 350 pounds. The issue isn't Walker's physical talent but rather whether or not he can maximize it properly. With a high center of gravity and little flexibility in his lower half, he regularly gives up leverage when he locks up with offensive linemen. His processing against the run still needs to improve, and there have been many instances on tape where much smaller blockers were able to shut him down with proper hand placement and weight distribution. 100.Elijah ArroyoTE Miami (FL) Height: 6 - 5 |Weight: 250 lbs Elijah Arroyo is a dynamic and athletic tight end with the versatility to impact both the passing and running game. As a receiver, he runs crisp routes and showcases excellent hands, making him a reliable target in key situations. Arroyo's speed and fluidity allow him to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties, while his ability to stretch the field vertically adds a valuable dimension to an offense. In the run game, he is a willing and effective blocker 113.Quincy Riley. CB Louisville Height: 5 - 10 |Weight: 194 lbs Quincy Riley is a fluid and instinctive cornerback with strong ball skills and the ability to create turnovers. He plays with excellent anticipation, allowing him to jump routes and disrupt passing lanes. Riley's quick footwork and smooth hips help him stay in phase with receivers, while his closing speed enables him to break on the ball effectively. He has the versatility to play in both man and zone coverage, showing good awareness in reading the quarterback's eyes. 138.Jack KiserLB Notre Dame Height: 6 - 1 |Weight: 231 lbs |RAS: N/A Jack Kiser is an outstanding coverage linebacker with rare instincts when dropping into coverage. Consistently shows the ability to take away open angles. Zone drops are elite. Has a strong feel for spacing and route development while in zone. Has the ability to cover running backs at a high level in 1-on-1 situations. Possesses excellent closing speed and great on-ball skills to prevent passes from being completed. A savvy downhill LB who doesn't get downhill with much force but is still able to shed blocks and make plays. Is a good on-field athlete but hasn't shown the ability to cover sideline to sideline. An effective blitzer who finds creative ways to get pressure on the quarterback. Elite open-field tackler who takes great angles to the ball and knows how to finish plays. Kiser has an outstanding 4.6% career missed tackle rate. 147.Garrett Dellinger. OG LSU Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 325 lbs |RAS: N/A At 6'5", 322 pounds, OL Garrett Dellinger offers a dense frame and strong anchor to project as a potential backup in the NFL. The three-year starting left guard is a reliable presence with a good football IQ 160.Kyle Monangai. RB Rutgers Height: 5 - 8 |Weight: 211 lbs Kyle Monangai built on his breakout 2023 season at Rutgers with an even more dominant 2024, becoming unstoppable no matter the defensive game plan. He quickly surpassed his 8-TD total from last year, Monangai's mix of power and speed leaves defenders helpless—he shrugs off tackles with ease and outruns opponents in space. A natural fit for a zone-read offense, Monangai's patience and vision make him an ideal complement to a receiving back in the NFL, showcasing a skill set that's both chaotic and electrifying. 227.Cam Jackson. DT Florida Height: 6 - 6 |Weight: 328 lbs | Cam Jackson has elite size and length, but he's an average athlete who is slow out of his stance and doesn't have great explosiveness. A solid run defender who shows the ability to control gaps and make plays. 249. Nofoafia Tulafono. OC Wyoming Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 325 lbs Nofoafia Tulafono is known for his physicality and strength. With a low center of gravity and impressive core strength, he excels in creating space for his running back and controlling defenders at the line of scrimmage. His explosive ability in space makes him a formidable force in both run blocking and pass protection. A "road-grader" type player, he imposes his will on opponents and displays consistent dominance. Tulafono impressed scouts at the Tropical Bowl, solidifying his status as a sleeper prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. With continued development, he has the potential to rise as an impactful offensive lineman at the next level. 252.Ja'Corey Brooks. WR Louisville Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 184 lbs |RAS: N/A Ja'Corey Brooks is a dynamic wide receiver known for his impressive size and playmaking ability. After transferring from Alabama to Louisville, he revitalized his career with a standout 2024 season, recording 61 receptions for 1,013 yards and nine touchdowns. Brooks excels as a deep threat, utilizing his speed and ball-tracking skills to stretch defenses and create explosive plays. His versatility allows him to line up across various receiver positions, contributing effectively in multiple offensive schemes. Here's are my starter only Offense Qb Purdy FB Juszczyk RB Mccaffery Wr1 Pearsal Wr2 Jennings W3 Cowing TE Kittle Left Tackle Williams Left guard Jonah Savaiinae Center....this will be my surprise pick this year Nofoafia Tulafono Right Guard Domonick Puni Right Tackle Kelvin Banks Right defensive end Robert Beal jr Right defensive Tackle Deon walker Left defensive Tackle Walter Nolen Left defensive end Nick Bosa Weak side linebacker Dee Winters Middle Fred Warner Strong side linebacker Jack Kiser Cornerback Green Corner Lenoir Strong safety Mustapha Free safety Pinnock

We aren't starting 3 rookies on the Oline. It will happen.

And if Beal is starting at DE this D is in serious trouble.

Then I guess you rather have macivitz, brandell, as your starting oline. How did that work out for the past 2 years now.

Beal will be surprise this year......

Isn't that what the niners are trending too. Build around the draft. Getting younger and cheaper.....so yeah if this how is going to be . We r starting 3 rookies. Way better then what we have right now

The Raiders didn't trade us Khalil Mack even though our deal was better than the Bears. So teams 100% will not negotiate with a division rival to make each other better

Exactly it was strictly due to a rivalry. It's your mock man I was just making a joke but a trade between the Seahawks and 49ers is very unlikely

Yes. I'd absolutely have McKivitz at RT rather than starting Beal at DE. I'd wager big money he won't even make the team. What makes you think he can be a backup nevermind be a starter? He has shown nothing to warrant even having a roster spot.

And that Oline we had last year paved the way for the 4th most YPG in the league all without Williams, Aiuyk, CMC and others for the majority of the year.

And if you're going to trash our players at least spell their names right.

That same oline can not score in the red zone. And for the record no one is trashing our players.

It's not the Olines fault none of our receivers aside from Kittle can beat man coverage and it's not their fault our biggest weapon in the red zone in CMC was injured all last year.

I'm not a Banks fan and I don't see Savaiinaea as a scheme fit guy who they would be interested in. I'm out on Walker as well.

I appreciate the write ups and your thoughts on all of it.

this wouldn't be the draft for me though.
