Bold strategy going so heavy on the offensive line. It just might pay off.
I really liked the emphasis on Oline. Penix needs to stay clean, there's some real injury concerns, don't want him getting hit once. Build a brick wall at Oline if you're going with penix.

Penix needs to stay clean
Exactly, and even if Penix isn't ready to start and we roll with AOC, his only real problem is that he's a statue. Give him a clean pocket and I think he'll be really good.
reply
Yeah AOC is a pocket passer, you gotta give him pocket time else you're asking a duck to climb a tree. Penixs ability to improvise and extend plays with his legs are great, but he also needs to be kept upright to do that well.

Ducks can't climb trees?

Ever seen a duck in a tree?
reply
Yes, but I don't think it climbed there.

I'm definitely stealing that.

You can also have "expecting a fish to ride a bike" if you like ;) I got loads of stupid metaphors.
reply
No, Aidan trying to evade pressure is much more of a duck trying to climb a tree.

🤣🤣 well that mental image makes me hope he's the starter all season so I get to watch that fiasco every week

Thankfully, Joe Alt will be there to save the day, so no fiascos for you.
Is that a British thing?
reply
Not exactly... It's more just a pub thing...

On closer inspection though, I think you may be disqualified for trading future draft compensation.
If you want the king's coin, you've got to play the king's song.

Did I? I thought I just traded back, my mistake.
reply
Oh, ok. Nice trade, then.
If @grayruby (who has a serious conflict of interest, btw) let's it stand, then this is my pick for the winning draft.
Alt probably won't be there, but I like the idea of taking the best available tackle at 13. Penix at 44 is the dream scenario. Then, picking up an elite guard prospect is my next biggest priority.
What put you over the top was taking Van Pran right after already taking a guard. I don't really like our center and getting an upgrade would be great.

I love this draft but I don’t know how he got picks 100 and 139 by dropping back one spot from 77 to 78 even if he used the 6th as 7th rounders he must have used something from next year. Probably didn’t notice it in the offer. I give this one an honourable mention and will zap it 200 sats but I think you should select another one since we don’t really know if this one was within the rules.

I'll try to pay better attention, I honestly have no clue 😅

Alt wasn't there in the 1st mock I did, I was surprised I got him and Penix. I took Van Pran in the 49ers mock as well
