Penix is going to go way before 73.

Almost assuredly. However, I was speaking directly to Gyno's mock where he did, in fact, pick him at 73.

Traded back once from 14 to 17.

So not making any trades, I ended up with this:

14. Taliese Fuaga
OT Oregon State

45. Adisa Isaac
EDGE Penn State

150. Jared Wiley
TE TCU

168. Kitan Oladapo
S Oregon State

170. Keith Randolph Jr.
DT Illinois

175. LaDarius Henderson
OG Michigan

190. Blake Watson
RB Memphis

199. Khristian Boyd
DT Northern Iowa

239. Jamree Kromah
DT James Madison

i dont think we draft a DE unless someone falls in the later rounds.

If Turner and Foskey don’t make huge strides we are in trouble here.

One thing of note, it does not seem that any of the top tackle prospects make it down to 45. I have done this several times where Bowers, Rome or Turner fell to me. Each time I take them and there is no OT in the 2nd round range available.

I have a done a bunch of these lately and Alt and Fashanu keep going of the board quick. I think it's almost as if they pick up on your pattern? I kept trading down.

Fashanu has been going to the Titans which makes sense. Their O-line stinks and yeah, they could use a WR, but Levis is still pretty green so keeping him protected would make the most sense.

Alt to the Chargers is a lock in my opinion.

if in fact both of those guys are gone, I want Fuaga. I think if the Jets took Fuaga then maybe the smoke of the Brock Bowers pipe dream starts bonging out the room? Probably not just saying.
