My first ones as the Vikings!

I know there are elements of randomness to this but there's literally no chance Penei Sewell falls to 14, highly doubtful he gets past the Bengals at #5.

Mock simulators like this are fun but they need to clean their probabilities up a bit.

Did the Jags just for the heck of it

I was going to say, if Sewell falls to 14 I’m going to be livid that Denver didn’t take him at 9. That’d be madness.

I prefer https://thedraftnetwork.com/mock-draft-machine

You can't trade (unless you buy the premium version) and it doesn't give you grades but its outcomes are more realistic and has some nice writeups on most prospects. I have already wasted a bunch of time the past month using it.

I've run that a few more times and it always has the Eagles taking a QB at 6, which I guess isn't 100% out of the realm of possibility with a new HC in town but seems extremely unlikely.

If Sewell falls to 14 I'd just be wondering what the hell happened to scare teams off, was he recorded doing a bong hit with Tunsil?

Another one I did last night had Lawrence fall to 3 for Houston - lmao

I think I just heard @Linekerbecome erect...

Just imagine if the Jags do Jag it and not take Lawrence... the domino effect would be spectacular. And @Dan would break something.

Speaking of Jacksonville...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars are going teal.

The team on Wednesday announced that it's switching from black to teal as its primary home uniform color, which was a big part of the uniform during the franchise's success during its early years.

"We've heard the fans loud and clear," head equipment manager Jimmy Luck said in a statement. "As the only team in the NFL that wears teal, we know what this color means to our organization, the 904 and our entire fanbase. Teal inspires great memories of some of our franchise's greatest moments. Making the switch to teal as our primary uniform color allows us to celebrate that history while kicking off a new era of Jaguars football."

Per the team, the Jaguars have a 64-50 record (60-42 in home games) while wearing teal jerseys, which includes a victory in their first appearance on Monday Night Football as well as one of the greatest moments in franchise history: the 62-7 playoff victory over the Miami Dolphins on Jan. 15, 2000, which turned out to be the final game for both Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino and head coach Jimmy Johnson. The Jaguars unofficially announced the color change on Twitter on Tuesday by sending out a series of tweets in which the first letter of each tweet spelled out "teal is primary."

The team then tweeted that Twitter figured out its "cryptic message" and that the team would make teal the primary color if that tweet got 21,000 retweets. The tweet had 23,000 retweets as of 11:30 a.m. ET Wednesday.

The team put out a hype video on Twitter on Wednesday that featured defensive end Josh Allen.

The color change is part of a rebranding of a franchise that has been one of the league's worst over the last decade. The Jaguars have lost 10 or more games in nine of the past 10 seasons and went a franchise-worst 1-15 in 2020, which resulted in general manager Dave Caldwell and head coach Doug Marrone being fired.

Owner Shad Khan hired former Florida and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, and the Jaguars have the first pick in the upcoming NFL draft. The team is expected to select Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Thank goodness. Teams need to own their unique colors.

There isn't a domino effect when Lawrence goes at #2 instead.

Best thing for all parties really. Wentz needs a fresh start, and he gets it with the best coach for him. Philly needs to get rid of his salary as much as possible. I hope he does great in Indy and rediscovers his confidence.

[DFF]

Not overly fond of that deal. I can see Wentz putting in some bang average performances (or worse) but them playing him in 3/4 of games and still having to give up a 2022 1st. 

[The Buscher]

 

[gunnar hendershow]

That was the most they were going to get and if Reich can get him back to his old self well worth Indy giving up a 1st next year.

[livid]

Indy's the perfect spot for him between Reich and having a good OL. I'm not convinced he can't still be a decent starter in the league so that was about as good of a spot as he could end up at. Add a WR or two and they're in really good shape.

Why is that video cut like a horror movie, though...?
