Thanks! I saw that tweet of his bench press a few weeks ago, and stuck him in my draft grab bag. I was gonna go Kolar, Tight End, and then Rodriguez, but @MadGoat snagged Kolar just before my pick.

So, it's MadGoat's fault talking Kolar at 128 you missed Rodriguez, not mine! (lol)

THIS DRAFT IS
OUTRIGHT WAR!
Much the same with me. I had him tagged for the 4th as he seemed to be slipping under everyones radar and I thought i could grab him that late.

Missed it by that much......... (with due deference to Maxwell Smart - a pop culture reference that may go over the heads of those under 50!! lol)

With the 131st pick in the 2022 Superbowl Champion Rams on Demand mock draft, the Tennessee Titans select QB, Carson Strong, Nevada. After watching that playoff game, Tennessee realizes Tannehill can only get them so far. As Rams fans, I think we can agree. Take it away Carson:

With The 132th Pick

In The Fourth Round

Of The 2022

ROD NFL Mock Draft

The Green Bay Packers Select:

Tycen Anderson

Safety

Toledo

BYU-Toledo-Football-16.jpg

Overview

Height: 6' 2"

Weight: 209 lbs

40 Yard Dash: 4.36

At 6’2″, nearly 210 pounds, with 33″ arms, Anderson enjoyed a stellar performance at the NFL Combine. He posted a 4.36 40-yard dash (fourth among safeties), 35.5″ vertical, 10’3″ broad, 6.64 three-cone (second), and 4.28 short shuttle at the event. In fact, his Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 9.69 ranks 24th out of 778 safeties who have tested at the Combine since 1987.

Three-year starter who aligned as a big nickel and box add-on at Toledo and will likely be targeted in that same capacity by pro teams. Anderson's size, length and speed stand out on tape. He's a determined run supporter who plays with adequate block take-on and play strength near the line of scrimmage. He's a rangy, long tackler with the ability to short-circuit outside runners. Anderson has the potential to handle coverage underneath but might not have the instincts or ball skills to handle additional coverage duties.

With the 133rd pick, the Buccaneers select

Rasheed Walker OT, Penn State

The Bucs will look to move him inside to RG to utilise his run blocking skills.

Overview
Walker possesses enticing power and measurables but has issues that could be challenging to correct if he stays at tackle. Ohio State defenders were able to burn up his outside edge, which creates concern about his pass pro range, but it can be hard to beat his anchor with pure power. He has issues playing beyond his base, creating chronic over-extension that will be exploited by skilled NFL rush talent. He's capable as a run blocker and should keep getting better with more hand work. Walker projects as a right tackle on the next level but might move inside to guard if his range and balance in pass sets aren't up to par.
Strengths
  • Displayed ability for quick and vertical sets.
  • Stout core withstands a bull rush.
  • Fires hands through defender's pads.
  • Extends and presses rusher past the arc.
  • Controlled inside power step for firmer post.
  • Better hand placement will bolster drive blocking.
  • Power to shove and clear debris from the lane.
  • Able to hold his ground in base blocks versus power.
  • Adequate adjustments in space.
Weaknesses
  • Might not have enough range to play left tackle.
  • Base can get too wide in pass sets.
  • Weight sits on his outside foot in pass slides.
  • Reaches and leans rather than maintaining flat-back posture.
  • Opens door wide for a variety of inside counters.
  • Lacks twitch fitting into run block.
  • Hands need to be faster and more accurate.
  • Needs to improve positioning after contact.

Haha. Excellent. I love it.

Seriously though, it does show that we are both trawling through the prospects looking for the one that has been overlooked. It sort of reinforces the process when someone finds the same player you feel you've uncovered not once, but twice.

OK @SanAnRam has obviously been detained.

He has the next two picks for the Niners and Chiefs respectively.

Who wants to start the bidding?

With the 134th pick the Fucking Niners select

Jayden Peevy DT Texas A&M

Overview
Two-year starter with size, length and power at the point of attack to create some excitement from evaluators heavily into traits. Peevy flashed against both average and above-average competition while at Texas A&M, but looked heavier and a shade slower in 2021. When working with proper footwork and hand quickness, he offers glimpses of dominance in jolting blockers and muddying run lanes, but his technique and performance can be a little undisciplined at times. It's easy to project him as a backup nose for odd or even fronts but he has upside and could offer additional position versatility.
Strengths
  • Outstanding size and length.
  • Gets off the ball under opponent's pads.
  • Fires his hands looking for heavy impact.
  • Offers lane clogging playing style and demeanor.
  • Power to disrupt through an edge and into the backfield.
  • Burly bottom half and long arms are made for two-gapping.
  • Tools and traits for consideration in odd or even fronts.
  • Quick hands create quick win opportunities.
  • Intriguing rush flashes in 2020 tape.
Weaknesses
  • Looked heavier and slower in 2021.
  • Bends at the waist and doesn't maintain base width through the rep.
  • Ends up on the ground too often.
  • Struggles finding arm extension to keep blocks out of his frame.
  • Below-average reaction to blockers in initial steps.
  • Too willing to backdoor the reach blocks.

On behalf of @SanAnRam -

With the 135th pick the Kansas City Chiefs select

JT Woods S Baylor

Overview
Long-levered safety with excellent top-end speed and the potential to become a rangy playmaker if he can learn to play with better overall discipline. Woods has too many busted assignments to be trusted in single-high alignments at this time, but offers teams the coverage versatility to be deployed in a variety of spots. If he can play with better decisiveness, he has the length, burst and striking power to impact catch tries and take the ball away. Woods' tools are likely to make him a Day 2 pick, but he'll need to prove that his run support and tackle finishing are on a functional level for the pro game.
Strengths
  • Former track star with sprinter's speed.
  • Has experience playing in all safety alignments at Baylor.
  • Sticky hands grabbed nine interceptions in last two seasons.
  • Speed and length do their job in recovery mode.
  • Transitions fluidly from his backpedal.
  • Charges hard to close out crossing routes in his face.
  • Bounces from route to route to make a play.
  • Searches for punishing blows on pass-catchers.
  • Burst to swoop down and find tackle tries near the line.
Weaknesses
  • Loses track of deep-ball duties.
  • Too much freestyle in his coverage and movements.
  • Can be a step behind to challenge throws due to indecisiveness.
  • Below average as a tackle finisher.
  • Hurried angles create small margin for tackle error.
