¶ Introduction and Overview of the Mock Draft
hey , welcome back to t3 . I'm your host U . We are doing mock drafts between now and the first round of the NFL draft . I believe it's April 24th . It's the same night as our first annual live draft special . You can catch us , of course , on YouTube or wherever your social media will find our simulcasted episode .
We're going to be doing the entire first round of the draft live , so we're going to have friends and family in the studio with us dropping some knowledge and some nuggets . It's going to be a fun ride for us . You can find T3 every Thursday night at 7 pm EST . We are already doing mock drafts . They're all over YouTube so far .
We've got plenty more to come . Our goal get all 32 mock drafts in for all 32 teams Manifest task , but we're going to work it out and see what we can do . I got several friends that are highly invested in this team , three that come to mind right away . So I'm going to try to do right by them .
That's the Seattle Seahawks , so I'm going to try to see what they need . Varying opinions on what their team needs are . I know from hearing from my friends , big emphasis on O-line help , offensive help at the tackle spot , of course , even heard something about quarterback , but I'm not quite sure we're going to address quarterback in this mock draft .
We say we're false . I highly doubt it . Wide receiver , edge rusher , of course , and some help at safety Cornerback as well . To be honest with you , we'll see if we can get all of these in . It's going to be a fun ride . I heard about Tyler Lockett recently . Not sure if he's coming back on , so a wide receiver could really be a big help .
Never sure about DK Metcalf and if he's going to be hanging around or if he's going to be moved . There's always some challenges on the field with them and then even with the play . We've seen some areas where there's some lapses the past couple of years it's just effort and some other areas that kind of took them out of the game .
So we'll see how it turns out . But as for why receivers are available , we'll go ahead and try to find that guy for our friends that love the Seahawks . So let's see if we can go ahead and jump into this draft real quick , see what we can find . They have eight picks available .
We're going to try to see if we can try to get within three rounds , if we can try to find some guys that are going to really help out their team . They couldn't get the ground game going last year , so we definitely want to see if we can resolve that . I'm not sure how much they love Kenny McIntosh .
I mean he's flashy , to say the least , but not quite sure they see him as the future Walker's there , and I think he's definitely a number one running back . Will he still continue to be able to get that kind of production here ? We'll see , but in all intents and purposes looks good . Tight end got some concerns about Noah Fant .
I think he probably should be replaced . We should look for his replacement somewhere in the draft , if possible , or in free agency . 500 receiving yards , five touchdowns in several well , at least last year for sure , but the three seasons that he's been there , the numbers haven't been great , excuse me .
So a guy like Elijah O'Reilly out of miami I got my eye on him . Man , he's a big target 64251 . I want to see if he can perhaps uh help this team out . We'll see if he's going to be available and we'll just think about it . But the seahawks have the 18th pick and this trade right here is uh one that we're going to .
I think we're going to try to help our guys out . So we're taking this 18th pick . For sure they blow us away with an offer and these are not that . So we know we need to help Old lines we've been hearing about the majority of the time . So for me , I think getting a chance to get Kelvin Banks here is kind of hard to avoid . Thick sturdy left tackle .
He definitely is good with his hands on the inside . He doesn't , you know , over-leverage himself and gets knocked back out of plays . He's powerful , he's strong enough , but also quick and nimble and able to kind of adjust and pick off defenders , you know , and just do all the things that you'd like to see from an offensive tackle . So I like him .
I think a lot of teams want to see him as a guard . I think he's going to be helpful in this situation because if he's going to be a guard , I think that's one of the areas that the Seahawks actually need , but they also need a tackle as well . So you've got somebody who can play both of those .
Potentially , I think there's some things that could be a high potential for these guys . So I'm going to go ahead and get Kelvin Banks over to the Seattle Seahawks . It's going to be a good deal for him , so we're going to be all right . So we're going to retake that one totally .
That doesn't help us at all , all right , so at this point we know that we still need some O-line help . I am going to be leaning toward maybe a guy I hadn't thought about leaning towards up to now , but I like Ursary for them . He's naturally on the left side and , if I'm not mistaken , they need help there as well . I'm verifying that real quick .
I know they got charles cross over there , but I think they can upgrade there and , uh , I think they should . Uh , he is definitely strong as a tackle . I haven't got to see a lot of his game In fact , I don't think I've seen any game from Minnesota , but he has a pretty great name out here . No character issues .
I think there's somebody that can potentially help them out . At the same time , I'm sitting here like , like okay , these guys need help in other areas too , so it's kind of hard to pass up some of the talent here . Jade baron , I think we're gonna go ahead and take him in safety .
They need a safety , uh , to replace some of the guys that are going to be moving on , or they maybe didn't kind of uh , step up in the ways that they would like . My guy , julian love , is back there from the Giants . Honestly , even though he's on our team , I wasn't a huge fan of his , excuse me , so for me I think this is a no-brainer .
I mean , he's basically Barron is basically a sous-sommie knife . He can play on the outside , in the slot , in the box and , worse , the passer . He can play as a linebacker . In those scenarios he's an impact player . You can't you can't let guys like that pass you in the draft . And he got great eyes . I mean he definitely has no problem hitting .
I mean he uh reads the quarterbacks really well . I mean , the guy , he's great timing . It's hard to say anything bad about him at all . He's he's pretty , he's pretty good and he definitely is great at tackling in space , which is something that frustrates you so much when you see teams not being able to tackle in space . It unnerves you .
I can say that from experience . But I think we like him here . We're going to go ahead and take this and we're going to reject this trade . We're on a good track . We're going to keep on going the way we've been going . So today , baron , welcome to the Seahawks , alright .
So here's the tough part here , because I know that we've been talking about Offense a lot and , honestly , the O-line guys that have left , I am not totally sure I'm super enthusiastic about them . Maybe , perhaps , but this is the toughie . This is the toughie . Oh , perhaps , but oh , it's a toughie . It's a toughie .
Oh , I think I'm gonna go ahead and just go with kind of help my guys out . I want them to be mad at me . You know what . Wow , but wow , yeah , the pickings are really slim . We're sitting here at 82 , and I don't want to drop too far back in the draft and I don't want to reach for anybody either . Hmm , stuck here , we're going to take a royal here .
It's a bit of a reach for us . We , us , we had 82 and we're dropping down to 92 . But I think this guy might be worth his juice , might be worth to squeeze . I mean he's , uh , 21 years old . I mean he has , uh , at 35 receptions , 590 yards , I think it was , with seven touchdowns . 590 yards , I think it was with seven touchdowns .
Excuse me , 6'4" , 251 . I mean he's bigger than Derrick Henry . So look at that for perspective . I think he is a better prospect than Noah Phan is . I think he's somebody who can handle the linebackers and the safeties that come at him . I mean , he's strong . He's definitely a passing attack weapon .
He's a huge threat and I think he'd be that on a professional level as well . So I think we should go ahead and roll with that . Let us know what you think .
