*Steg's S28 Mock Draft 2.0 - iStegosauruz - 02-22-2021
Introduction
So this is the third mock draft for the Season 28 class I’ve written in the last few weeks. The first one I wrote by myself and just tried to give a cursory glance at how I thought the board would fall if the draft had been held right then and there. At that time I only had reports of one team having started scouting so I generally felt things were pretty fluid and had a lot of teams fall back on taking some of their former players. Since then a few things have changed - namely Baltimore has almost fully deconstructed their roster from this season and is preparing to rebuild over the next few seasons. This has left them with an insane amount of draft picks that have left the first round mostly completely rearranged. The second is that more teams have started scouting and I’ve begun to hear more rumors about things that could happen. With all of these factors in mind its time for another mock mainly because I lost $10 million to the sportsbook last week and need to continue to feed the addiction.
A Note About Draft Order
The draft order has solidified a lot since I originally wrote the first mock draft. At this point in the season there were no uncomfortable or headache-inducing ties to break at the top of the board. Once you get into the middle of the round - around pick 9 - it becomes a bit more complicated because there are three 7-4 teams (Colorado, Yellowknife, and New York). That tie would’ve been a disaster to figure out but luckily as it stands now before Week 12 has been played Colorado is on the outside of the playoff picture looking in which slots them at pick 8. Yellowknife and New York still are both 7-4 and are currently slotted into playoff spots, however New York beat Yellowknife in Week 7 which means they end up with a higher pick. Yellowknife slots in at pick 9 and New York at pick 10 as a result. Chicago and Sarasota have their tie broken a similar way. Both are 8-3, however Chicago beat Sarasota 32-28 in Week 4 which gives them a higher pick.
The Draft
Round 1
Round 1
1. Baltimore Hawks
Record: 0-11
Team Needs: QB, OL, CB, S
Baltimore has been the team with the first overall pick in both my other mock drafts. No offense to the Hawks, I don’t see that changing any time soon. The fact they deconstructed their roster last week and traded away five major contributors doesn’t help their chances of winning a game. Luckily, they exist in a situation where even if the sim does something weird and has them pull out a game they should still be in control of the first overall pick.
With new leadership in town this pick is going to be pretty important. It’ll set the tone for the team that Hall and Frick are going to be building. I think there are a ton of different directions they could go here and none would really be a bad choice. They could go with a really active rookie who wants a chance to help Baltimore rebuild or they can go with an established veteran who can bring some consistency and stability to the team. There are a lot of options between those two poles as well.
The Pick: Busch Gooce (infinitempg) - RB - 222 TPE - Kansas City Coyotes
I absolutely do not believe any pick is really a “sure thing,” however I think this pick is as accurate as we’re going to get any pick in the status quo. Frick has a lot of experience with infinite from their time together with Colorado and I think that relationship is going to be critical. Infinite has been fairly outspoken about wanting to make a big push for the Hall of Fame with this player which means he’s got to start the quest for both rings and stats as soon as possible. Being sent down or ending up on a team where he’d be the third option out of the backfield - thus drastically releasing his carries, for example Jim the Vampire in Austin has 22 carries on the year thus far as a third option - would seriously inhibit his chances straight out of the gate.
Hello match made in heaven. Baltimore can almost certainly guarantee infinite the biggest role in the offense he’s going to be able to get during his first year. Mathias Hanyadi is headed for retirement and Busch Goose has already passed King Tutankhamun in TPE. Mai Fukushu is slated to be on the roster next season however has expressed some discontent with the recent events the team has undergone and has a mutual option in their contract. Preston Parker is waiting in the DSFL for the Hawks, however infinite is on pace to pass him at some point in the next few seasons at their current earning rates. Essentially, he has an easy route to being RB2 or even RB1 next season.
2. Baltimore Hawks
via Austin Copperheads 
Record: 0-11
Team Needs: QB, OL, CB, S
Some people have panned Baltimore for taking a trade that included fewer total picks for a couple of their former franchise cornerstones, however at the end of the day with only one week down that trade looks smarter than people are giving it credit for. Having control of the top two picks in the draft is huge and even if Austin wins enough games to tie Berlin in the standings after they lost to them 20-19 in Week 8 they’ll still retain control of the higher pick. Basically Austin has to win three out of their remaining five games and Berlin has to lose out for Austin’s pick to be a worse one.
The Pick: Luke Quick (Bigred1580) - WR - 219 TPE - Kansas City Coyotes
In my last mock I had BR’s player go first overall. I could have essentially done the same thing here as Baltimore controls both the top picks however I went with infinite at 1oa because I think that is more likely than BR at this point if it works out where this pick isn’t 2oa. Being able to snag both of these league legends is huge for the Hawks. After trading Joshue Campbell last week the Hawks are very thin at receiver. Korbin Brown has essentially stopped earning as he hasn’t updated since December 19th. He might even be a cap casualty this coming season if he doesn’t waive his guaranteed primary wide receiver clause in his contract. This all depends on how much faith the new management has in Mario Messi
Regardless, BR fills a need for the Hawks and gives them another savvy veteran to add to their locker room as they continue to rebuild. Showing stability is something I think that is important for the Hawks at this stage and these two picks do exactly that.
3. Orange County Otters
Record: 3-8
Team Needs: WR, DL, LB, S
We’re really hurtling towards seeing Orange County win out with New York, New Orleans, and San Jose lose out just because the sim is going to refuse to snap their consecutive playoff berth streak aren’t we? At least I’ve got another few weeks to mentally prepare for that outcome. Some things are just inevitable.
The Pick: Dexter Hall (firstfray) - LB - 215 TPE - Kansas City Coyotes
Do I really have three Coyotes going with the first three picks? I guess I do. Props to Kansas City management on nailing this last DSFL draft I guess. In terms of Orange County I really thought about this pick for a bit. They have an aging curve that seems split down the middle. Franchise legends like Tyrone Biggums and Lord Beerus are headed towards retirement in a few seasons and are becoming more important to replace especially because their inevitable retirements will correspond with the regression point of their counterparts at those positions. At the end of the day, however, I had Orange County go with the only linebacker currently above 150 TPE in the entire draft. With four defensive linemen on roster that are all earning enough to be suitable options the focus turns to solidifying the linebacker position so that their 4-3 scheme can be as strong as possible. I have a lot of respect for WBF but Sergio Kitchens is still hovering around 300 TPE and he hasn’t done any task since January 10th. They’ve gotta find his replacement sooner rather than later.
4. Philadelphia Liberty
Record: 4-7
Team Needs: CB, S
Philadelphia definitely needs to address their secondary in this draft. Doy Fieri is earning at a strong rate however James Hoffman has fallen off in terms of earning, Matt Cross is heading towards regression in a season, and L’Carpetron Dookmarriot is inactive without an update since August 8th.
The Pick: Anton Bruckner (Gragg9) - CB - 210 TPE - Minnesota Grey Ducks
In both of my last mock drafts I’ve had the Liberty take Luchadore corner Juno Hu. In that time, however, the gap in TPE between him and Bruckner has narrowed quite significantly. That makes the decision here much more difficult in my mind. Both players are absolutely great options but I’ve always gotten the vibe that Gragg9 is headed towards being a top 5 pick just because of how ridiculously active he is literally everywhere. This ends up being quite a good home for him as I think he fits well with the type of team that Pat and Cody are trying to build.
5. Berlin Fire Salamanders
Record: 4-7
Team Needs: LB, DL, S
Berlin needs help in their front seven. With only three linebackers and three defensive linemen on roster, building any traditional front - whether its 3-4 or 4-3 - is going to be difficult. They have a consistently earning defensive tackle in the DSFL in Marlon Brando, however they don’t have any linebacker stashed that is worth bringing up next season. There’s really only one direction to go here in my mind.
The Pick: Prof. Godfrey Gravity (z0rem) - DT - 228 TPE - Kansas City Coyotes
I had Berlin taking z0rem’s player in my first mock draft and I’m going to continue that trend this time around as well. After Orange County grabbed Dexter Hall at 3oa there really isn’t another linebacker worth taking here. With that in mind I think they still need to prioritize the front seven. Prof. Godfrey Gravity is the best defensive linemen on the board and gives them the ability to be a bit more flexible as their defensive line - which are all Season 22 guys - begin to regress after next season.
6. New Orleans Second Line
Record: 5-6
Team Needs : TE, WR, OL, LB
New Orleans is in a pickle. In my last mock I had them take Sam the Onion Man here to be an eventual Ed Barker replacement. I still think thats an option here, however after perusing their roster a bit more I really think they’ve got some holes that need to be plugged sooner. They’re unlucky that there isn’t a tight end I’d take right here because Austin McCormick is about to get smacked by regression again after this season and there isn’t a great replacement waiting in the DSFL for them right now.
The Pick: Stumpy Jones (FootballIsCool) - OL - 234 TPE - Portland Pythons
I love Scorp. I really do. Scorp is headed towards regression, however, and at 607 TPE currently Jimbo Jr. doesn’t have much time left as a plus offensive tackle in the league. I am fully on the hype train that offensive line matters more than before in a lot of ways - teams with more, high TPE offensive linemen are doing better right now than teams without them - and so this is a pick both to eventually replace Jimbo Jr. but also to bulk up that line for when New Orleans eventually has to swap back to a ground-and-pound based off around Mr. Forty-Two and Mike Rotchburns as Slothlisberger begins to regress.
7. San Jose Sabercats
Record: 6-5
Team Needs: RB, OL, DL, LB, S
San Jose is in trouble. With no human offensive linemen on their roster they have no player who saves them money compared to an offensive line bot. That team is getting expensive, fast. If my math is correct they’re going to inevitably have to make some very tough choices this offseason on who to keep and who to let walk. Similarly to Berlin, they’re also very unlucky the best linebacker in the class is gone right here.
The Pick: Juno Hu (j00) - CB - 213 TPE - Tijuana Luchadores
I think there’s a decent chance Rich Triplet is a cap casualty for the Sabercats this offseason and ends up having to leave in free agency. They’re going to have to work some voodoo magic to keep him and all their other impending free agents otherwise, even on minimum deals. Juno Hu provides them the best option to immediately step in and replace him. He should be inexpensive comparatively and will be high enough TPE by the start of next season to play as a third corner.
8. Colorado Yeti
Record: 7-4
Team Needs: DL, CB, WR
I’ve typically had Colorado taking infinite’s player, however at this point he’s off the board. Although I’m sure not being able to snag him will sadden the Yeti, it allows them to turn their focus to some of their other holes.
The Pick: Glenn Smart (Pib) - DE - 226 TPE - London Royals
Syl loves London players. Thats not something that should shock anyone. With Colorado relying on 406 TPE Arlington Heights, inactive 397 TPE Tycker Om, and nomadic 789 TPE defensive linemen Big Edd, a fix is necessary. There isn’t an immediate answer for them in the DSFL right now, however Smart should be high enough TPE to become an immediate option next season if necessary.
9. Yellowknife Wraiths
Record: 7-4
Team Needs: WR, DL, LB, CB
Yellowknife needs a wide receiver. Unfortunately they also could use a linebacker and there just isn’t one of those on the board right now. They do have Donald McBobby waiting in the DSFL, however. A defensive linemen to replace Nero Alexander would probably be nice as well. Luckily there are wide receivers and defensive linemen that could be options here.
The Pick: Chunt the Badger (UltimateYeehaw) - WR - 231 TPE - Dallas Birddogs
I tossed around the idea of selecting a defensive linemen here because there are a handful of good ones still on the board, however I see a lot of value in that position down the board and also in the free agent and inactive market. I think the Wraiths can afford to wait. I know Yellowknife loves finding lifers and that often means selecting rookie players who can fall in love with the team. I think Chunt fits the bill as a traditional “Wraith” type pick.
10. New York Silverbacks
Record: 7-4
Team Needs: OL, DL, CB, RB
New York has some holes but none are super pressing. Offensive line would be nice just because of how important having high TPE offensive linemen is now. Defensive line to replace Bubba Thumper here could also be an option. Colt Mendoza is slated to hit regression at the end of next season and they don’t have an option to replace him yet. So many different routes this pick could go.
The Pick: Manhattan Project (Modern_Duke) - RB - 192 TPE - London Royals
Ashley Owens is headed towards retirement and the legend Buster Bawlls wants to be a dominant fullback, not an every down back. The Silverbacks could use an option behind Captain Rogers going forward and reuniting Duke with his old GM in woelkers is too good an option to pass up. I think someone like Mongo is another option here as well. Its tough but I think they’ll ride Bubba one more season at least.
11. Honolulu Hahalua
Record: 7-4
Team Needs: WR, OL, DL, LB, CB, S
In my last mock Honolulu had the 14th pick. Now they’re sitting here at 11th. That changes their options, substantially. They still need the same things - defensive line to replace the three inactives they’re playing, for example. Picking five picks earlier, however, opens up a lot of options for them that might not be on the board at the bottom of this round.
The Pick: Mongo (MachineEarnedRuns) - DE - 224 TPE - Bondi Beach Buccaneers
New York didn’t take him with the previous pick so he falls right into Honolulu’s lap. The Hahalua are currently rostering three inactive defensive linemen. In the long run that isn’t going to work because all three are Season 22 guys and are headed for regression in a season. Mongo gives them a proven earner from another league who can step in and help solidify that line going forward.
12. Sarasota Sailfish
Record: 8-3
Team Needs: WR, LB, S
Every time I do a mock and talk about what I think Sarasota’s needs are I quickly realize they have options for almost everything stashed away in the DSFL. Props to Frost because this is really a well run team. The only thing I think they do need to worry about going forward is the linebacker position - both of their Season 22 guys are headed towards regression in a season. As I’ve mentioned throughout this draft, however, there just really isn’t a linebacker to take right now.
The Pick: Cade Williams (dude_man) - OL - 214 TPE - Tijuana Luchadores
One area over potential weakness for the Sailfish? The offensive line. They don’t have anyone playing OL stashed in the DSFL currently and both the ones they roster are sub-400 TPE. Raphtalia Chan has a few good seasons left and putting a good offensive line out there will boost the running game significantly.
13. Chicago Butchers
Record: 8-3
Team Needs: QB, WR, DL, CB
Chicago literally has a plethora of riches in the DSFL to replace almost anyone on their roster at a moment’s notice. The only potential weakness I see right now is the defensive line. They have one Season 21 guy and two Season 22 guys taking snaps for them there currently and no replacement for them as they near regression.
The Pick: Andrew Warthol (Skorch) - DE - 205 TPE - Minnesota Grey Ducks
There’s some big Minnesota influence in Chicago. Warthol may not be the highest TPE DL left on the board, however the some of the management in Chicago will have experience with him from their relationships with Minnesota. I think that pushes him up the board a bit and into their waiting arms here at 13th overall.
14. Arizona Outlaws
Record: 9-2
Team Needs: DL, LB, S
Arizona doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses, however they do have some holes they’re going to need to patch going forward. I think their biggest need is probably in the secondary right now. They have options in the DSFL for both defensive line and linebacker but the only option stashed in the DSFL is Moe Skeeter who has been inactive for a month.
The Pick: Romulus Roman (Amulous) - S - 203 TPE - Tijuana Luchadores
I haven’t heard a bad thing about either of the Roman brothers. They’re active, solid earners, and in this case fit a huge position of need for the Outlaws. He’s not the highest TPE safety left on the board as of this point but I think that general, league-wide friendliness pushes him up the board to the Outlaws.
Round 2
1. Baltimore Hawks
Record: 0-11
Team Needs: QB, OL, CB, S
Previous Pick(s): Busch Goose (RB) / Luke Quick (WR)
After taking Busch Goose and Luke Quick at the top of the first round you imagine the Hawks are ecstatic at how their draft is going. With a lot of needs I think they can just keep taking best player available at this point in the draft.
The Pick: Sam the Onion Man (Duilio05) - WR - 220 TPE - Norfolk Seawolves
Part of me can’t believe Duilio fell to the Hawks here but like I did the mock and he did. With him being here I find it hard to believe they’d pass up a former franchise icon. I’ve heard that they’re prioritizing players who want to be in Baltimore long term and its hard to really think of anyone who fits that description more than Duilio
2. Austin Copperheads
Record: 2-9
Team Needs: CB, OL
Previous Pick(s): None
Austin comes onto the board with the luxury of not really needing much. I used to have one of their needs be safety but after trading for Tony Yeboah from Baltimore thats less of a concern. They have the luxury to go best player available here and stash them in the DSFL for the future.
The Pick: Bayley Cowabunga (JKortesi81) - WR - 190 TPE - Dallas Birddogs
This feels right the right pick. I know Joe wants to go back to Austin and I’m sure Austin would love him back. I also know Joe would love the chance at producing another Hall of Fame WR and I’m just not sure he’ll get the chance to in Austin. He’s going to be behind a lot of really talented receiving options in Austin for at least the next few seasons. I still don’t think that stops this pick from happening, however.
3. Orange County Otters
Record: 3-8
Team Needs: WR, DL, LB, S
Previous Pick(s): Dexter Hall (LB)
After picking basically the only top-end linebacker in the class earlier you can basically scratch that off the board as a need for the Otters. The rest of their needs still exist, however.
The Pick: Saleem Spence (StadiumGambler) - WR - 232 TPE - Portland Pythons
It feels almost dirty to have Orange County get the second highest earning player in the class at a position of need in the second round. I guess thats just karma for their playoff streak coming to an end in this world. Spence could easily be a first rounder and immediately becomes a future top receiving option for the Otters.
4. Philadelphia Liberty
Record: 4-7
Team Needs: CB, S
Previous Pick(s): Anton Bruckner (CB)
Even with Bruckner in the fold the Liberty still need help in their secondary. Luckily for them there are still some great options on the board for the back half of their defensive.
The Pick: Cole Maxwell (Alcott) - S - 205 TPE - Dallas Birddogs
Maxwell is quiet but active. A higher earner who can help solidify the Liberty secondary as their current options begin to regress in the next few seasons, he’s a great stash for the Liberty going forward.
5. Berlin Fire Salamanders
Record: 4-7
Team Needs: LB, DL, S
Previous Pick(s): Prof. Godfrey Gravity (DT)
Although I’m sure Berlin would love one of the top safeties to be on the board right now, the Liberty snagged the last one of those right above them. I think that leaves them in a position to go best player available here.
The Pick: Xavier Walls (xtitanxmvpx) - DE - 214 TPE - Portland Pythons
I know, I know. I had Berlin take a defensive lineman with their last pick. Double dipping now is going to potentially oversaturate them at the position. That being said, I don’t think any team can really have “too many” defensive linemen. Having a lot of people who want to play on the line feels like more of a blessing than a curse. Walls is earning like a stud and gives them another DSFL stash piece for the future.
6. New Orleans Second Line
Record: 5-6
Team Needs : TE, WR, OL, LB
Previous Pick(s): Stumpy Jones (OL)
After solidifying their offensive line for the future in the first round I think New Orleans can look back to their needs here. Luckily, there’s a solid option at one of their most pressing ones still on the board.
The Pick: Bender Rodriguez (shrub02) - TE - 201 TPE - Minnesota Grey Ducks
Austin McCormick is headed towards retirement in a few seasons and high earning tight ends haven’t come along every day in the last few draft classes. Securing the best tight end in the class in the second round is huge for the Second Line.
7. Baltimore Hawks
via San Jose Sabercats Record: 0-11
Team Needs: QB, OL, CB, S
Previous Pick(s): Busch Goose (RB) / Luke Quick (WR) / Sam the Onion Man (WR)
Baltimore really does have a ridiculous amount of picks in the next few drafts. Its kinda insane. Look at the haul they’ve already gotten in this draft. They get the chance to go right back to the well for another BPA in my mind.
The Pick: Gritt Gurdur (Miller) - DE - 196 TPE - Portland Pythons
You really can’t have too many defensive line options in my opinion. The Hawks don’t have one stashed in the DSFL. Gurdur is the highest earner at the position left on the board and comes from a Portland team that just cranks out top notch earners like its their day job.
8. Colorado Yeti
Record: 7-4
Team Needs: DL, CB, WR
Previous Pick(s): Glenn Smart (DE)
The board is getting pretty thin at a handful of positions at this point and right now wide receiver is one of those positions. The Yeti have some options in the secondary, however.
The Pick: C.J. Sonjack (Ace) - CB - 185 TPE - London Royals
Another London player? It honestly makes sense. Ace is earning much faster on this player than his last which live up to his goal to be more serious on it. He’ll come to a team that has a lot of London influence to keep him active and earning as well.
9. Yellowknife Wraiths
Record: 7-4
Team Needs: WR, DL, LB, CB
Previous Pick(s): Chunt the Badger (WR)
The million dollar question for the Wraiths? When is the right time to take a quarterback. They picked Sam Howitzer in advance of an expansion cycle and got a decent haul for him after expansion was announced. Regardless, Colby Jack has a while left in him since he prints TPE illegally in his basement, but he still won’t live forever. It never hurts to have options. I really think this is a sneaky spot for a quarterback as rumors of expansion soon were flying this season. They have a lot of options to address other needs such as the secondary - especially safety - where they’re playing two Season 22 guys.
The Pick: Tim Soulja (Painted) - S - 187 TPE - Minnesota Grey Ducks
Valdyr and Hellzapoppin won’t live forever either, and unlike Colby Jack they aren’t running an illegal TPE distribution ring. Soulja’s a bit behind the top of the safeties in the class but is consistent and active which makes him a perfect DSFL stash in anticipation of those players eventually regressing.
10. New Orleans Second Line
via New York Silverbacks Record: 5-6
Team Needs : TE, WR, OL, LB
Previous Pick(s): Stumpy Jones (OL) / Bender Rodriguez (TE)
We’ve talked a lot about how Season 22 guys are beginning to approach expansion. For teams with quarterbacks from that class they still have a little bit of time before they need to worry about their replacements, however. New Orleans is an exception to this rule. Franchise icon Bex is in the class and I doubt they let her fall any further.
The Pick: Raeni Clark (bex) - QB - 214 TPE - Norfolk Seawolves
Does this pick need an explanation? I feel like New Orleans would riot if she was on the board here and they didn’t take her. It frankly makes way too much sense.
11. Honolulu Hahalua
Record: 7-4
Team Needs: WR, OL, DL, LB, CB, S
Previous Pick(s): Mongo (DE)
Honolulu addressed a huge need in the first round and could really use some help in the secondary now. They’re playing two inactives back there, and although they have a replacement in the DSFL for one of their corners in James Bradshaw it never hurts to stockpile more talent.
The Pick: Amy Wong (pazuzu) - CB - 166 TPE - Norfolk Seawolves
Pazuzu isn’t the most impressive earner ever, however they’re consistent. For this Hahalua team thats what matters. I’m sure they’d prefer this pick to be a safety and there is one on the board that I considered here in Kelvin Harris, however I chose to go with a bit more of a proven quantity for a team that is going to have to stash them regardless.
12. Sarasota Sailfish
Record: 8-3
Team Needs: WR, LB, S
Previous Pick(s): Cade Williams (OL)
I know Frost’s judgment awaits me for whoever I choose to pick here, so lets get it out of the way. Its going to best player available with some preference to positions they aren’t saturated with at the DSFL level.
The Pick: Kelvin Harris (Astrophy058) - S - 178 TPE - Norfolk Seawolves
Clemente and Nkiah won’t play forever and the Sailfish don’t have a safety stashed in the DSFL - its one of the few positions they don’t have down there. Keep collecting developing talent Frost!
13. Chicago Butchers
Record: 8-3
Team Needs: QB, WR, DL, CB
Previous Pick(s): Andrew Warthol (DE)
Just like Sarasota, Chicago is hard to pick for at this point in the draft. We’re into the deeper parts of the board and there’s going to be a lot of personal preference to who the team likes down here. They also have just about everything stashed in the DSFL.
The Pick: Remus Roman (Vaelynn) - RB - 208 TPE - Portland Pythons
The other brother comes off the board here towards the bottom of the second round. Running back isn’t the most pressing need for the Butchers. Two of their three rostered are inactive and one is regressing. Madison Hayes waits in the DSFL to replace them, however. In this situation I think the user is almost too good of one to pass up and does fill a position of semi “need.”
14. Arizona Outlaws
Record: 9-2
Team Needs: DL, LB, S
Previous Pick(s): Romulus Roman (S)
Arizona shored up their secondary in the first round and has the luxury of taking a best player available approach here.
The Pick: Erik Gaare (maupassant) - RB - 213 TPE - Dallas Birddogs
I love Gaare, he’s super awesome in the Dallas locker room. Running back isn’t the biggest need for the Outlaws but Nakamura is approaching regression and I think Gaare will be a hit for their locker room. Just adds some depth and gives them some flexibility to make a broader range of decisions down the road.
Conclusion:
Two rounds, over 5000 words. Big payday. When we got to the middle of the second its a lot of best player available and thats going to be a lot of who a team really likes as a user. I tried to balance some connections with positional need and value. Who really knows at this point.

Record: 5-6
Team Needs : TE, WR, OL, LB
New Orleans is in a pickle. In my last mock I had them take Sam the Onion Man here to be an eventual Ed Barker replacement. I still think thats an option here, however after perusing their roster a bit more I really think they’ve got some holes that need to be plugged sooner. They’re unlucky that there isn’t a tight end I’d take right here because Austin McCormick is about to get smacked by regression again after this season and there isn’t a great replacement waiting in the DSFL for them right now.
I feel personally attacked
