Notes:
Jayden Daniels at 2. Feeling good enough.
The pivot point for this entire mock: do the Vikings trade up to 3, 4 or 5 -- or 8 -- or sit. My best guess/sense is Chargers make the move/Vikings wait. I think JJM in Minnesota is his best fit
Lots of Byron Murphy to 8 or 9 talk. If the top three WRs are gone, the Bears (who should trade down or picks), talk the DT
I'm aware that Colts GM Chris Ballard has never traded up in the first round. Go big or go home. I buy them taking WR. I don't think it's Xavier Worthy. Bowers? I heard that. However, is Ballard going to break his rule about not trading up AND take the bad $$ value TE position as well?
Falcons can get a similar caliber edge at 15 if not the same one everyone has been predicting them to take at 8
At this point, I'd be surprised if Penix didn't go in the first. The Raiders could certainly trade back into the first, but the risk that Penix is gone by 25-32 has increased.
Hearing medical red flags for Fautanu (knee). Not sure how serious, but I'll say causes a drop, and nobody benefits from a player falling more than Baltimore
