[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 830284, member: 2846"] Honestly, I didnt like my last mock 30 mins after I posted. So, here I go again . . . The final Amish Mock of the year Bosa, QWilliams, White, Allen, Taylor, Sweat and Oliver are gone. Pack looks to trade back and finds the Steelers looking to move up. Based on last year it would be a surprise if Gute didn't trade 4 or 5 times so . . . [B]Trade 1.12 for 1.20 and 2.52[/B] [B]1.20 Simmons DT[/B] - With 2 picks in the first, the Pack are okay with the risk. Prior to the injury, Simmons was my best hope at 12. I expect to put him on the PUP and then bring him along slowly during the season. I expect him to start in 2020. A DL who provides a big impact as a rookie is a rare thing anyway. Tremendous disruptive player who saw mostly double teams and still was able to beat them repeatedly. Great skills, strength and athleticism. Plays with an attitude as well. [B]1.30 AJ Brown[/B] in my mind the best WR in the draft. Why is he still here? Because there are 3 or 4 other WRs who are close (Marquise Brown (who is gone), NKeal, harmon, and Metcalf ).
