I recommend you all try the draft simulators at FanSpeak and Draftnetwork. Lot of fun. However fanspeak allows you to pick a big board to go off and if you pick the oldest one from January you can get some ridiculous results. I did it just for fun and don't expect any credit OK.
22 Ruggs
25 Gladney so far OK right?
58 A J Terrell Starting to look nice
89 Ezra Cleveland
105 Bartch
132 Cesar Ruiz this is where it gets ridiculous
155 Mims
201 Highsmith
205 Aiyuk yeah the WR ranked in the top 50
219 Igbinoghene Yeah the CB ranked in the top 30
249 Muse not bad for our safety at the very end of the draft
253 McDonald QBotF.
Kind of fun but stupid. If you stick to the recent big board your draft will be more or less legit.
Draftnetwork doesn't allow you to choose a big board and they are mostly spot on except they often have Herbert fall to 22.
PFN mock is also fun because it allows you to make trades without upgrading to a pay account. I've been enjoying using it to trade up for Herbert and seeing how that scenario plays out.

The fast setting is way to fast for me to attempt any trades LOL. I will try again on slow. My first effort was great except I pretty much left the DL ignored.
Fulton CB
Ruiz C/G
Shenault WR
Igbinoghene CB
Claypool WR
Muti G
Driscoll OT
Reed WR
Scott CB
Coleman DL
Wonnum DL
Luton QB
IMO the 3rd-4th-5th and 6th picks were exceptional value.

3rd try on PFN I got Tua at 22 and Swift at 105. Time to trade Cook and Cousins.

I rather have Hurts, I am concerned with Tua’s hip injury

If that's the case I really screwed up. Hurts is available in the third round. However, I think I got it right. We can let Tua take all the time he needs to recover.

I've been assuming that with Okudah and Henderson gone the best CB for us to draft would be Fulton. I check him out on NFL.Com and they have him as the #10 CB. Jaylon Johnson is 3rd. I am going to take a closer look at my CB rankings.

Watching some WR highlights and the thing that amazes me about Laviska Shenault is not only his WR prowess, but they also use him as wildcat QB and as their Goal Line RB. Don't think I've ever seen that before.

The more I look into Austin Jackson the less I like him. He is totally being projected because of having tools and isn't even likely to be a first year starter. Potential is usually not lived up to. It would be so nice if somehow Thomas were to slide to our pick. Maybe do a trade up for him.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) underwent a medical re-check facilitated by the NFL Combine and received "overwhelmingly positive" news.
Garafolo's colleague Ian Rapoport reports Tagovailoa has "fulfilled all medical obligations." It's the best possible news, though teams potentially drafting someone with Tagovailoa's health history would typically be put at greater ease by an in-person visit. So is life during the time of coronavirus. Tagovailoa's rehab has gone off without a hitch since his devastating November injury. He is appearing quite likely to come off the board in the first five picks, and possibly as high as No. 2 following a trade-up.

I just want us to trade up and get either one of the top O linemen or D lineman.

Despite seeing O Linemen sliding to 21 on these mock draft sims I think it would take a miracle to happen. So I would be willing to trade up for one of Wirf's Wills, Becton or Thomas. Thomas would be my favorite. but it would take our 2nd round pick at least.

Would the Patriots possibly trade their 1st to Washington for Haskins and Washington then drafts Tua? What you all think?

I'm starting to watch Video, but highlights are near worthless because everybody can look good in highlights. That said comparing Fulton to Gladney, Gladney looks better. Fulton has 2 inches on Gladney though. AJ Terrell looks great in coverage plus is excellent in Run Support. Given my choice of the three as of now I'm going Terrell and he's the tallest and fastest based on combine times.

It is possible but I do not know why Redskins would do that since that would mean they gave up on Haskins already when he barely getting his career started
