And share the duties with your fellow sharks from the same home team around here. It's Ok to huddle up and discuss in the team threads before making any final decisions

Let's have fun and I will do my best to keep things rolling for everyone.
Last year this place was crazy on point with the Top 6 QBs, we were all a little stunned they went so fast and then the NFL had them all by Pick 12, incredible QB class.

GO!!!

[efactor]

I'll take the 49ers

 

[Ministry of Pain]

The Miami Dolphins are looking to trade DOWN and add a 2nd round pick in this year's Draft
Just putting it out there for anyone behind me that would like to move up

 

[Largent]

will do the Seahawks

 

[Harjiran]

I'll take the Commanders.

 

[ZWK]

I can take a team that needs someone, since travdogg already has the Bears. I'd prefer a team not in the NFCN.

Edit: I'll track trades here, too.

CHI moves up with CLE for Travis Hunter

Arizona Cardinals work?

 

[Grahamburn]

Always enjoy this and will take my Bucs.

 

[eighsse2]

@eighsse2 and @QuizGuy66 will team up for the Bengals

When quizguy and I join forces, we make up approximately 1 knowledgeable Bengals fan. And that fan's name is quizguy.

 

[Bri]

Ok sure
Just let me know when or whatever

 

[Streetduck]

I’ll draft for the Jaguars again, pretty sure that was me lol

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I can do the Eagles unless one of my brethren feels strongly about taking it

 

[Ministry of Pain]

@The Duff Man should grab the Bills, he had an in depth look at their needs in another thread
@GroveDiesel obviously would make a great Bills' GM
Maybe we can get both

 

[DA RAIDERS]

This looks fun. I’ll take the raiders. Much to the chagrin of my brethren.

 

[rockaction]

If nobody else volunteers you can pencil me in for the Jets. I can handle three rounds for sure. If another Jets fan wants to draft then I will bow out with a smile.

 

[TheDirtyWord]

Bumporooski...to quote Andy Reid

 

[SDJohnny]

I'll take the Chiefs, Broncos and Chargers. I promise to do a great job.

 

[RC94]

I can take another team too if needed. I follow the Jets too so if they're open I can take them

 

[Crippler]

I can do Packers or 2 if needed

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I can take another team too if needed. I follow the Jets too so if they're open I can take them

Rock is gonna handle the Jets and I am going to run thru the teams that have not been picked, send out some invites tonight but yes we likely need to assign 2 teams for some
And you will be one of them

 

[Ministry of Pain]

@Anarchy99 @Lansdowne @Boston
We need someone to volunteer for the Patriots

2025 NFL Trade Value Chart

This is an NFL Draft Chart with values assigned.
It's subjective of course but it shows you what you can do if you want to try and trade picks within the 1st/2nd/3rd round

@RC94 did you allow teams to trade future picks?

Yes, there were a bunch of trades. Just try to use that chart so it's relatively fair. The point is to be somewhat realistic rather than trying to win the trade. In fact, I'm putting 1.03 on the block...

@Soulfly3 @MAC_32 @Bracie Smathers
Browns GM has an opening

What are the specs? Haven't participated in a mock here before.

 

[ZWK]

I could take a second team if needed. We could also ping the people who drafted last year who haven't made an appearance in this thread yet.

Or we could give it a couple of days to fill. Last year we took 5 days to fill the GM spots and then just under a week for the draft.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Change the title to attract more homers.

@Soulfly3 @MAC_32 @Bracie Smathers
Browns GM has an opening

What are the specs? Haven't participated in a mock here before.

You are the GM, in this case we'll say the Browns.
You have the No 2 pick or you can try and trade or see if someone beats you to the inbox
You know as a Cleveland fan what the holes are on the team
Your job to make them better and we just Draft the first 3 rounds

You can use picks form this year, you can use future picks within reason
Last year we did the mock and the SP ended up being right as we saw all 6 QBs taken fairly early and the NFL Draft ended up going the same way.
Usually moves along pretty fast as long as folks are checking in

We'll have an official post with some loose rules outlined but unlike FF we're just having a little fun, we do appreciate the reasons for the picks

 

[Stoneworker]

I can do the Broncos

 

[Gatorade]

Looks like no one has taken the Dallas Cowboys. I will take them. Gotta do better than Jerry.

 

[Harjiran]

I would take one of the leftovers in addition to WAS if you're short of volunteers.

The future picks thing is an interesting twist, I wasn't sure if that was allowed or not. So is this year's mock affected by future picks traded last year?? That would seem a bit wacky. So I'm guessing it doesn't work that way. You just look at the lost or gained future pick when considering the haul for that year's mock, I figure?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Fine. I'll do the Vikings.

Future picks and other picks not involved in this draft, such as day 3 picks, have been part of trades in the past. Just use the chart to keep the trade fair and try to be realistic about what that team might want to do.

 

[RC94]

Not sure what the best chart is, but here's one from a source many of us are familiar with - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/draft_trade_value.htm

 

[popeye]

If @JohnnyU doesn't take the Colts, I can. I promise to do my best Ballard impression by trading down, focusing too much on athletic potential, and generally leaving all fans wondering, "Why?"

But such a trade wouldn't affect next year's mock, right? If my Bengals acquire a 2026 first, do we have that extra first, when and if we do this mock again in 2026?

 

[Gatorade]

The Cowboys have three picks.
12, 44 and 76.
All the early mocks had Dallas taking a certain RB. Now I see him being taken earlier in recent mocks. With so many holes to fill, I may be looking to trade down.
Biggest needs: OL, RB, WR, DL
Maybe I can just trade Dak ?
Do I resign Parsons or trade him ?
Should I go "all in" like Jerry or do a total rebuild ? (Jerry would never go for that)

 

[JohnnyU]

If @JohnnyU doesn't take the Colts, I can. I promise to do my best Ballard impression by trading down, focusing too much on athletic potential, and generally leaving all fans wondering, "Why?"

Just take one of Warren or Loveland, which ever is left at 14.

 

[Stoneworker]

@Ministry of Pain when approximately are you expecting to kick this off with Rd 1?

 

[King of the Jungle]

If @JohnnyU doesn't take the Colts, I can. I promise to do my best Ballard impression by trading down, focusing too much on athletic potential, and generally leaving all fans wondering, "Why?"

You are not suppose to let the other 31 teams see your draft board.

 

[JetMaxx]

I’ll take the Patriots.
The #4 pick is available.

It would not affect next year's draft. It's just for the purposes of running this draft

 

[Anarchy99]

@Anarchy99 @Lansdowne @Boston
We need someone to volunteer for the Patriots

You are correct, sir. The Patriots do need a volunteer to oversee a successful draft. But it won't be me (for them or for your mock draft). My player knowledge for incoming prospects only extends into the second round. That would make me overqualified for the actual Patriots draft war room (but underqualified for your exercise here).

I will not proactively engage in trade conversations, but will respond / negotiate if someone else initiates, and 'folks checking in' leaves me nervous. My evening / weekend availability is largely at the mercy of mother nature. If she's behaving then I'm coaching and unavailable 3 out of 4 week nights between 4 and 9 (today is our off day this week), most of the day Saturday, and Sunday afternoon. It appears mother nature will be uncooperative the next 5 days, but beyond? We'll see. While I can check-in during most work days, I am frequently unavailable for 3-4 hours at a time, and count 2 or 3 days in April I may not be able to check in at all. I cover a region and don't always have time for more than a 30 second skim of my phone when going from one location to another.

Do with that what you will. It's not that I'm uninterested, it's that I think it's important you know my limitations before I commit.

It’s not my draft

 

[BobbyLayne]

One of the things I find interesting thus far is not a single team has multiple picks in the 1st round

Every single team has their first round pick for the 2025 draft.

If every team drafts a player it will be the first time in the 32 team NFL era (2002) that every team used a first round pick.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

@Ministry of Pain when approximately are you expecting to kick this off with Rd 1?

Good question, we just launched yesterday and we're doing pretty well filling up the slots, I'd probbly be OK with assigning a 2nd team a handful so we can get things rolling soon.
I would say after we get the teams assigned and we do a quick agreement of the rules
It's not super common that teams trade future picks on Draft Day, many times though it can happen on the weeks leading up to it.

I'm guessing most would like to start ASAP
We will do our best
