If I couldn’t trade, this is what I would come up with. This time, I kept it simple and used only the NFL Consensus Big Board, here — which means several players are in different spots than they were in my draft with trades in which the first 100 slots were based on the Athletic Big Board, not the NFL Consensus one.
1-9 Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia
2-40 TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
3-71 Harold Fannin Jr. TE, Bowling Green
3-93 Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse
4-112 Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma
4-131 Caleb Rogers, OL, Texas Tech
6-184 Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State (too many LBs now, but couldn’t pass him up)
7-248 Elijhah Badger, WR, Florida
7-254 Maxen Hook, S, Toledo
Okay, upon request from those who wanted me to use the same “big boards” in the same order I used in “with trades” draft, an update.
Pick 1-9, I can’t go with Walker, because he is gone on the Athletic Bib Board, so I go with Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas (although I flipped a coin between him and Nick Emmanwori, DB, South Carolina, and might pick him after all anyway). I can’t go with Henderson, because he is gone, so I go back to Nic Scourton, Edge, Tennessee. All the other picks stay the same.
