PFF NFL Podcast: MOCK DRAFT | PFF 

The bad luck of this getting streamed just hours before the Darnold trade shaking the whole thing up.

4:00 start

Thing is the dolphins can take sewell and kick hunt into guard where he’d be a perfect fit for guard, Austin Jackson stays at left and Sewell protects Tuas blindside, it upgrades multiple spots

Andrew Luck case study: fix the offensive line before it’s too late

Great WRs coming out EVERY year now...OLs are NOT get Joe some fing protection.

Busted when they said we get Fields 🤤🤤🤤

Vera Tucker just got disrespected so bad. If he's at 30 the bills are running to the podium.

You guys have really been preaching us loving you guys discussing every team in depth, and I want to say you're totally right! Especially with you guys putting in the times for any section/team you want, I think the majority of us listen to all of it, but it also works for people who just want to pop in and listen to a good amount of content on their team. Thanks gents!

Love the Lions moves: trading back two spots, pick up a 3rd rd pick, select Penei Sewell. Too bad it's less likely after the Darnold trade. How many o-lines in the league would be better than this? LT: Taylor Decker LG: Jonah Jackson C: Frank Ragnow RG: Big V RT: Penei Sewell

To me, it's not the Bengals taking any old receiver, it's taking the guy who Burrow connected with for 1800 yards and 20 TDs for in college. Yes, receivers are a dime a dozen, but you have the chance to recreate something magical

Aaaaand Darnold is a Panther

Cincinnatian and Bengals fan my whole life here. First.....how DARE you talk down the nati chili! Second, the Tackle/guard class this year is fantastic. Get Chase at 5, draft two DUDES later in the draft and call it a day.

Aside from all the GM’ing in the comments, I feel this was a really good exercise, good discussion and I enjoyed the back and forth about trying to “plug a hole” versus “pick the best player”. Another thing to remember is this is not a draft prediction video, this is playing out how these two would advise each time, and just seeing how the draft would play out in that way. There are always NFL teams with much much higher grades on players who will get taken much earlier than expected (Raiders have been notorious for this lately). As far as personal bias, I loved the Bengals talk, and i’m in the camp hoping that they take Chase, then either the pick of top interior linemen in the second, or if they prefer a tackle that they would have kick inside for his rookie year. If they go Tackle in the first round, there are good receivers or elite interior guys to choose from at the top of the second. They’ll do fine either way, but I would lean towards getting Burrow his guy.

Good call on the #3 pick to SF 😂

MN Vikings should do what they have to to get Trey Lance, from Minnesota. The hometown kid. Vikings fans would straight up worship him 🙌 if he turned out. Vikings never having had a franchise qb really and him being from here. It would be epic. He’s have at least a year to learn under Kirk too. 👌🏽

Sewell also helps the run game, taking more pressure off burrow, giving them more impacted plays. Tackle also makes the anybody's beside more comfortable and better, see the guards in Cleveland as of recent for example

Lance or Fields in the Shanahan System & I will be happy for ages...

Sewell at five, protects Joe for 15 years and opens what would be an amazing run game with Mixon and Co.

While I agree that BPA should be the guiding principle of drafting, if you totally ignore team need, we don't need a mock draft from you, just a player ranking. Vikes NEED O-line. It helps Cook, Jefferson, and Cousins maximize their immense talent(in 2 out of the 3).

Thank you JF to SF

I feel like this mock draft went back and forth between what they would do, and what they think the team is going to do irl.

Sure saying he's his dad is a lazy comp but it's the most accurate

The moment the Bengals saw Joe exit the field on a fucking stretcher their number 1 priority should have been OL.

Good work little Jimmy lmaooooo

Got that The incredibles reference around 11:00 , “Not great bob”

The best part of this was how much you guys trolled Cincinnati chili and the general idea of local delicacies which are usually overrated by people who have never left their city. Native Cincinnatians tilted for sure.

Starts at 4:00

Dumb pick for the WFT, best case would be swap 19 to 25 with the Jags and send them All-Pro OG Brandon Scherff, the kind of box safety they are probably looking for in the draft Landon Collins and next years third for 33 and 45 this year. Then go 25. Zaven Collins, 33. Kellen Mond, 45.Jabril Cox, 51. Quinn Meinerz. Boom both teams Ballin with this trade.

To echo Sam's mood: out of all the fanbases (other than the Texans), I think Bears fans have the most to be depressed about out. All other fanbases have SOMETHING to hold on to. (Yes, even you, Minny and LV cuz we'll take Cousins or Carr over pretty much any QB we've ever had). And even if your team was bad (e.g. Jets, Jags), you probably made changes to get excited about.

Sam is completely right about the Vikings at 14

There are so many dumb comments in the live chat replay

TREY LANCE locking horns and arms with JOSH ALLEN for at least TWO games every year? Talk about a power explosion, and crowd draw, perennially. Bills would be the NEW Patriots.

When it comes to the Bengals both Sewell and Chase are fantastic players and it’s honestly a 50-50 on who you pick. The tie breaker for me comes down to the chemistry. I trust the chemistry of Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase than I do Sewell. And for rounds 2 and potentially 3 we address that interior O-Line.

Reilly Reiff can play RT, who the Bengals have no one at currently. OT is the most important position on the OL and GMs generally believe LT is the 3rd most important positional need (both offense and defense is counted here). The Bengals already have Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, which is serviceable. Higgins is your #1 and the Bengals should get a better #2. #2 WR is not anywhere close to being as important as LT. The choice between Penei Sewell and not taking an OT is not between having an average LT or getting a good one. It is between having a good to great LT and an above average RT or poaching someone off a practice squad to start at RT and having an above average LT. RT is an absolute hole right now for the Bengals. Then Bengals have to play in the AFCN, which is stock full of great to good pass rushers. The Bengals simply cannot have a total void at RT. You simply cannot rely on someone falling in the 2nd or 3rd to get a good LT off the bat, but there are plenty of WRs to go around this and nearly every draft. There simply aren't enough great linemen like Sewell every draft, but WRs are plentious.

Rondale to Jacksonville was a big headscratcher... seems a bit redundant to Laviska who PFF was high on last year...

Sewell then take Terrace Marshall who is an overlooked deep threat who can 50/50 balls. Or if Vera Tucker is there, he shouldn't be, you go all in and have the best young LT LG/C/RG and Fill in R/L tackle in football.

That just killed me! In a fictional world I wanted Farley for the Jets

Smart analysis making smart picks rather than trying to pick people so that it causes a rebuttal. I’m sick of the ESPN, NFL Network and NBC hard sell on Mac Jones at #3.

I like Rashod Bateman but the logic behind his selection to Washington was lacking a little. The idea of taking him isn't necessarily bad but the process behind it of building around Fitz seems short sighted.

Why with Sewell we only look at pressures/ pass protection. You can also argue what he does for the run game.

Steves coment on why the Bengals should take a WR over Sewell was the best ive heard yet

Every Raiders mock is an argument between Jenkins and Moehrig... and neither got even a mention here at #17.

My favorite show. Though I wish Eric eager were a part of this

Listening to you guys talk yourselves into “it doesn’t matter if your line is shit if you have three receivers who can get open instantly” is officially the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard today. They let anyone talk sports!😂😂😂

Steve you obviously haven’t watched Darrisaw. He’s awesome at outside zone runs. Watch his reach blocks and bunch of different awesome outside zone techniques. And Vikes don’t have a 2nd. Vikes would trade down in that situation if they could, to get that 2nd. They only really need o line and DE. Could take BPA, Waddle. We need a return man and 3rd wr

I’m a little confused by the anti Sewell to the Bengals argument. So because he isn’t fixing the issue by himself in 3 months, you ignore the problem completely? Makes no sense to me

WADDLE OUTPLAYED SMITH FROM THE JUMP TILL HE GOT HURT (CHECK STATS )

I know people are going to hate the concept, especially Bengals fans, but how much sense does Rashawn Slater make if the fit is that much of an issue re: Penei Sewell AND if the Bengals have Slater ranked as highly as some teams supposedly do. I’m just saying it’s worth the argument that the play might very well be to stick and pick Slater at 5 or attempt to move down and still net an interior presence to keep Burrow upright.

Eagles would never pass on Jaycee Horn or Rashon Slater for another low impact project edge rusher. Terrible pick. You’d hear me booing from Alaska

"What e hell does it matter if you take a chance and miss"" great insight Sam

There was complete negligence when discussing Sewell to the Bengals. You completely disregarded the run game, they have a top 10 back that got paid. That also helps a team and a young QB. Jonah Williams is the much more natural fit at guard compared the other two at tackle if they two Sewell. Sewell and Rief at Tackle and Williams at left Guard sets up the Bengals nicely. Chase is amazing but he doesn't help the run game.

Barmore to the Vikes would be a bad move imo. I’m very low on most of the Dlineman in this class as it is, but to draft a guy who’s motor is the concern to play behind 2 other guys at the position when there is a bottom 3 Oline in the nfl like Sam pointed out would be a disaster. Going with Darrisaw was the right call between the two.

The Panthers are underrated. They need Watson! But Watson might not be in the league in a year at this rate

Wow waddle to my cards and great explanation on the fit! I would be very excited if that happens

Aziz to the Bills at 30 would be freaking awesome

Burrows in a division with Myles Garrett and TJ Watt and they picked Chase 🤦🏾‍♂️

Micah fuckn Parsons damn thats the pick love it

As a Denver fan, I want another year of Lock. I don't want Mac Jones. Give me Sewell or Parsons. Lock showed definite improvement as the year progressed.

PERFECT EXAMPLE WAS JUST SHOWN IN THE SUPRR BOWL- WORLD'S BEST QB ...RAN...FOR HIS LIFE, AND..LOST!..HELLO??? PLUS, SAM IS COMING OFF AN INJURY...PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT!!!!!!

Enjoyed. Think Jenkins is better than little Based on scheme but a tackle in Green Bay round one is ok with me

I like your draft. As a Jets fan I think they need to draft a CB and IOL with the 23rd and 34th picks depending on how the board falls.

Sam, you sound hungry with all the foot analogies. Stop letting that giant take your lunch 🤓. The counter point to whether to get a generational LT or or Wr accomplishes the same goal is that a tackle allows you to progress thru your reads and target more of the field, instead of being forces to throw short every play. If you have a QB who can progress thru reads, getting a left tackle is a bigger priority IMO.

Lmao these guys are saying Barmore for the Raiders. Raiders are going to get JOK

I think Giants take either one of Rousseau, Paye, or Phillips

In this scenario the bears are making the same mistake Jets did. I feel when u don’t have a QB you load up on OL and WR help so when u do draft a 1st round QB the team is ready for him. If you start drafting a OL the year after you land a Qb it’s too late

I can understand how analytics would miss how much an elite vs. average or worse line with regards to a QBs confidence and state of mind. Give me a great line, beginning with tackles. From an old ex QBs point of view.

No chance Cards go WR it's CB -> LB/IDL -> IOL. I think Jaycee Horn is the best fit but Farley might be a good chance.

Gold stars chili doesn't have onions in it, unless you order it with onions. I hate onions and would hate goldstar too if it had onions in it. Come on bro, I've lived on the east coast and the west coast, and everywhere I went I had my family send me cans of gold star chili. Talk your shit but try it without onions.

I just want Micah Parsons for the giants in the first n then Rondale in the second

19:38 I like Camp Washington chilli over Skyline and Gold Star anyday

Man I love y’all but the Vikings hate is ridiculous. Like you almost always discuss adding good players even if the team has multiple holes. Then the Vikings come up and suddenly every draft pick has been bad, their process is bad, they only compound mistakes. Like how you gunna be analytical and positive on teams that consistency’s draft awful players then go scorched earth on the Vikings who always draft well.

You think is irrelevant its what the teams think and what we can best assume. Wishing your own bias outside of comparables or past types requires a mark twain imagination

On Sewell v Chase? One bad O-line rep can end Joe Burrow's season as we literally saw last year. One bad route from a mediocre receiver leads to a turnover at WORST. There are also FAR more good to great WRs in the NFL than there are tackles. Plus, I'm more confident in a second round WR than I am a 2nd round tackle. If Joe Burrow hadn't been injured last season I might go Chase, but the fear of David Carr-ing Burrow is just too damn high to play any games.

5'7" receiver with an ADoT under 3 in the first round??? Jags could have gotten him or someone as good or better at 33. Biggest reach of this mock, hands down

GOT TO GO WADDLE AT 6

8:00 well hey wouldn’t you know it happened

The Steelers need to draft Landon Dickerson they need that center to open up the run game

Why can’t Riley Reiff play guard??

The Raiders desperately need a free safety and a right tackle--everyone knows this--yet you guys are arguing over defensive tackle and cornerback. Just gotta shake my head sometimes.

Shouldn't the analogy be Rashawn Slater is the safe pick and Penei Sewell is the "riskier" pick, because Slater is more polished and Sewell is the "traits guy" whose shown that his ceiling can be through the roof? lol

Kellen Mond to WFT

The mental gymnastics you guys went through on the sewell v chase debate were idiotic. It's not a decision in a vacuum. What happened to Burrow last season? Draft Sewell....

We're taking Sewell if he's there end of story

Denver isn't passing up on Patrick surtain. Broncos love locke

The logic for Chase they’re using seems flawed because look what happened with Boyd, Higgins, and AJ Green last season. Granted AJ isn’t what he used to be but it’s hard to argue those 3 are much worse than Chase, Higgins, Boyd would be

I love the fit of Dickerson to BAL, but they would have to trade out of the first to make the value make sense

why is this guy talking in canadian?

you guys are really wanting out of cincy lol

Get some graphics

That Rondale Moore pick was unforgivable. Worse than taking a running back. They could have taken him at 34. Or later. Nuts.

Detroit is the real wildcard if Fields and/or Lance are there. Detroit could go any number of directions with OL, WR, TE, or QB. New England probably may want to make a move up. If Detroit goes WR and Chase is gone, I would rather have Waddle over Smith.

Teams that regret not drafting assaunte samuel sr. have a brand new opportunity to take him all over again with his son they r clones

The Bangles argument is idiotic. If you are not able to run through ball you won't win. Brady has never won a S B without an elite defense and running game . When they split 5 wide and put the game in his hands with Moss and Welker they have 0 SBs during thar time. With a good o line you open up their best weapon Mixon which takes the pressure off the whole offense

49ers should trade the #3 pick to Ravens for Lamar. Shanahan would win multiple SBs with Lamar and the Ravens are a defensive team that should be reticent to pay a QB no matter who he is and I've lost confidence that Greg Roman will figure the pass game out

Love how every year black qb get question about the “processing”

Hate the Micah Parsons pick How can the Giants pass on Waddle? Pick gets an F

Everything they said involving the Ravens was stupid as shit. A constant for PFF when talking about the Ravens

Every reason there is to draft Wilson, Feilds is better. Hes more durable, a better athlete, better arm, faced better competition and has better film. Yes Wilson is very talented and would be 1st overall in many years but the football world has nitpicked Field's to oblivion. I dont think i need to outline whats different about Fields from the other top qb prospects that is causing the football world to galaxy brain themselves into thinking hes so "flawed".
