Hoping to make this less just posting mocks my man.  Appreciate the responses though 

Sorry just a couple of examples on different simulations where I’ve been able to get by trading down in the 2nd.. Continue..

excellent write up and post Bear Hands

How about the giant TE out of Georgia in the second? If we are going to have a smaller QB maybe we could give him a Godzilla sized target? If he keeps his weight down and is aggressive he could be an unstoppable force in the red zone. If he were to catch onto the pro game fast we could have both he and Hurst as viable receiving options which could cut down on the need for a WR. Just thoughts as I think it would be interesting to pair the largest TE in the league with the smallest QB. never know, it could work out!

I will say, the Falcons scenario in my mock is one I hope doesn't happen. This gives them Bijan, Downs, & K White.  They could put themselves in really nice position if someone wants to move up for Levis or AR (if they are available) at 8.  

Obvious candidates being HOU, TEN, & TB.

I would have no problem with that if I didn't project him to Dallas at 26 in Round 1.

True, I wish he would drop. Your predictions do look pretty accurate to me and one of the better mocks ive seen posted.

I just get the feeling that Hooker is moving ahead of Levis.

 

Also I'm sure you did a lot of research on that DET trade back but it sure doesn't look like they gave up enough to move up 11 spots.  I would be miffed.

I will say, I see Hooker fitting with a lot more teams than Levis right now so it could very well happen.  

Overall, even if there is some hesitation with Levis, I see ~TB/19 to MIN/24 is his floor for dropping.  Hooker could end up as high as the teens (to the Texans?) so Hooker could possibly go before. That being said, there's A LOT of rumors this time of year. 

I will say, anyone who saw that Bama-TEN game & watched Hooker progress year by year from his sophomore season at VT to last year at TEN should know what he's capable of.  Age be damned, if he can play, he can play.  He has great downfield placement, got the legs, size, even if the arm isn't Levis-level, he's got game.

My biggest BS meter goes off w/ the idea multiple QBs go in a row at the top.  This is not a class that goes 1-3.   

Fits:

Young - Panthers=as good as done

Stroud - Colts, Raiders

Richardson - Seahawks, Raiders, Vikings (Just don't see the Texans or Titans swinging for him)

Hooker - Raiders, Texans, Rams, Tampa Bay

Levis - Titans, Tampa Bay

my 2 cents

Re: this comment 

I did check some stuff out and historic trades.  

It's s 9 spot move from 39 to 48. 

But where we gain is moving up 12 in the next round from 93 to 81 and them adding on a 5th to sweeten.

I think we could squeeze a 4th, but that'd give them a big gap mid-draft, so could be a 39+93 for 48+81 swap, and they add on a future/24' 3rd (highest I could see)   

[Bear Hands]

An added prospect fit that could happen per some reports/buzz:

Tucker Kraft & Sam LaPorta TE - Bengals, R2

They've hosted both and apparently are very high on them, potentially have their sights on them instead of Kincaid or Mayer at 28.  I don't think they need to force anything with their position in R1.  R1--I could see Gibbs (as mocked), DB, OL, or even DL if a rusher presents himself.
