1.01: Colt (via Brad)- Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame, Arizona Cardinals

Brad took care of business now Colt gets the spoils of war due to his forward thinking.  Instead of hating his team’s position of bottom bowl regular he is going to LOVE his 1.01 selection.  Love is a CMC or Bijan level prospect.  No need to overthink it.  Henry and Barkley were solid even with bad offensive lines and terrible QB play.  You get the pure bred and then pray for them to figure out OL and QB.  Kubiak is good. 

 

1.02: Ollie (via Oscar)- Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State, New Orleans Saints

Ollie traded away Derrick Henry once it was obvious he was out the playoffs in 2025.  Oscar took the bite but couldn’t get over the hump, instead securing Ollie his pick of the Top WRs in this draft.  Ollie could elect to go Carnell Tate, Cam Ward’s new squeeze, but a chance to get a stud for the home team Saints is tough to pass up on.  Plus he can just do that with his next pick…  

 

1.03: Ollie- Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State, Tennessee Titans

It doesn’t matter what order Ollie takes these two WRs in he can just grab both of them.  This would solidify his young WR core of Luther Burden-Jordan Tyson-Carnell Tate to compliment his ppr veterans like Jacobi Meyers and Khalil Shakir.  

 

1.04: Dan- Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame, Seattle Seahawks

Dan tried to trade with Ollie to move up to 1.02 and pick Jordan Tyson but instead stays put.  Dan famously traded both his starting running backs to Mike Bellocq last season (Kyren Williams and D’Andre Swift) getting an official assist on Mike B’s terrific Super Bowl run.  But with Cam Scattebo’s foot breaking off his body and only having four RBs on his roster.  He takes a flier on a Price.  Which is close to Prince.  One of the best ever.

 

1.05: Cuz- Makai Lemon, WR, USC, Philly Eagles

This pick is fing lemon.  Cuz is in the best position to draft Fernando Mendoza, but with Drake Maye, Joe Burrow, and Cam Ward it makes more sense to pick best WR or TE.  Lemon would join George Pickens and Malik Nabers giving Cuz an deadly NFC East Trio of WRs.  #Lemon

 

1.06: Colt- Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana, Las Vegas Raiders

Colt could go Concepcion, Cooper or a RB, but with his QB situation being Geno Smith, Jordan Love, Aaron Rodgers, and JJ McCarthy it would behoove him to clean up that room a little bit.  This would lead his future core to be: Mendoza, Henderson, Love, JSN, Worthy, Warren with only depth/flex needing to be shored up a bit.  

 

1.07: Cuz (via Wesley)-  Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon, New York Jets

George Kittle is 32 and coming off of an Achilles injury.  Will Dissly isn’t on an NFL roster.  Which leaves Cade Otton in Cuz’s TE room to start the season.  Bring in the physical freak Sadiq.  Jets are a mess.  Last season they drafted Mason Taylor, but he was banged up a good chunk of last season.  Geno Smith should be an upgrade over Justin Fields.  And if he isn’t, they bring in 2027 QB like Arch Manning or Dante Moore.  

 

***Trade Alert***

 

1.08: Mike B via Ollie (via Dickinson)- De’Zhaun Stribling, Mississippi, San Francisco 49ers

Ollie shored up his WR room with Picks 2 and 3 and that’s what is available with this pick.  He ships 1.08 and Tank Bigsby to Bellocq for 2.08, Malik Willis and Romeo Doubs to get a suitable backup QB to Mahomes who is coming off of an acl tear.  Mike acquires Stribling knowing he can eventually trade to Dickinson for a 2027 1st next season.  Drafting a Niners WR with Dickinson’s original pick is the type of cruel bust your friends’ balls type of move I’d expect from this group.    

 

1.09: Wesley (via Adam)- Kaelon Black, Indiana, San Francisco 49ers

Back to back Niners?! In this economy?!?  Wesley traded away CMC for Terry McLaurin and the rights to draft his potential backup/replacement.  CMC is older and longevity is a concern.  Wesley takes the Black Running Back that was taken 90th overall.  A “grinder”  

 

***Trade Alert***

 

1.10: Brad (via JO)- KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M, Cleveland Browns

Brad moves up by trading with JO in a blockbuster.  Trading Brian Thomas Jr, 2026 3.01, and RB Jaylen Warren for 1.10, 2027 2nd, and Dylan Sampson.  Brad sends his young LSU stud and beloved Jaylen Warren to JO who trades another 1st round pick/WR to Brad.  After all the rape allegations last season, Brad and JO bury the hatchet and fall on a trade both sides find beneficial.  

 

1.11: Andy- Omar Cooper, WR, Indiana, New York Jets

Andy is waiting on Adonai Mitchell to work out, but if he doesn’t he’ll have the other Jets WR not named Garret Wilson.  Cooper was a steady presence who helped Fernando Mendoza look good.     

 

1.12: Andy (via Dickinson via Wesley via Mike Bellocq)- Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama, Los Angeles Rams

Can think of no better way of Ty Simpson getting picked then with this whore of a pick that no one seems to want.  Taxi stash.  Andy could elect Stowers or the Broncos RB or one of the Dolphins WRs, but future potential value of Stafford’s heir is too valuable to pass up.
