LAOJoe & RTTRUTH's 16th Annual Collaborative Mock Draft

Is this a multiple choice pick? One slot - two names.

 

He traded back and had B2B picks.

 

Just letting @matthewwillson29 and the others after me know that I'm around after @RTTRUTH picks or trades...

 

Now that I've shown my adoration for Corley, 2024 3rd rd pick... consider him to be on the trade block.

 

I like to refer to it as a 2-fer

 

I was always told you couldn’t between teams you manage.

 

The Indianapolis Colts select:

Smael Mondon Jr. - Linebacker / Georgia



I have read that our new DC Lou Anarumo likes to build his defense from the coverage down. I think Smael can play a part in that, as he has a good amount of reps handling coverage duties for the Bulldogs. I almost talked myself into someone else. But ultimately, the little bit on how he builds his defenses led me here. We may be considering a trade-up in the near future here though.

​

@Torgo

 

If Bassa was gone, this is who I was going to take

 

You already know how much I like him since I pounced on him in the first draft. Might have taken him this time too if he was staring me in the face.

Waiting to hear from @Sbrabo26 ... or anyone else who wants to trade up. (I haven't acquired any future picks yet for this mock, so the Falcons would be interested in moving down.)

 

Just pinged him on Twitter. Seems to work for him

 

I think we do have a trade coming. And you helped make it happen by taking Mondon off the table, forcing me to "stick to the plan".

 

Trade: OTC pick plus #242 for #149 and next year's 4th

 

Dallas confirms

 

Dallas cowboys select:

the last piece of the run stopping fix puzzle



C.j. West- nose tackle- Indiana

 

150 and 253 for upcoming pick

 

Carolina offering 137 and 163 for an OTC pick

 

What was the trade exactly?

 

General rationale for me as ATL mock GM is that even though we're short of picks (and cap space), we have so many young players returning that in truth I think I'm better off focusing my draft efforts on 2026 and beyond.

I have to laugh at SI because today they posted an article saying Kyle Pitts was as good as traded ahead of the draft, as the Falcons allegedly need picks to build the team around Penix. SI doesn't get that nearly all the holes have already been filled. This is exactly how BPA is supposed to work.

So... I took a chess piece LB/edge and future starting OT in the first two rounds, and now I'm adding a future 4th rounder.

 

118 / 242
for
149 / 2026 4th (Dal)

 

Atlanta traded 118 and 242 to Dallas for 149 and 2026 4th round pick.
