Hey AMG! Welcome to the last mock for the cycle! While the last draft may not generate as much buzz as the others, there are still some exciting prospects out there.
Us at On The Clock would just like to thank everyone for tuning in to support our content this cycle. Also definitely a shoutout to Jamie, Planet, Slam, and Gamemaster who do a lot of things behind the scenes to make these big projects possible. We look forward to expanding upon our content for the M22 cycle.
“The Vikings took a pretty big step backwards on defense falling all the way to 28th overall. They could use a leader ala Harrison Smith of years past. Thomas was a team captain and leader through both voice and play in his time at Washington. I like the fit here.”

1
|
Raiders
|
Lyle Bayless
|
WR
|
Bayless will never be mistaken for Ruggs in the speed department, but Bayless is extremely talented in his own right. A tall, physical, extremely vertical WR, Bayless should help the Raiders fans forget the mistakes of the previous ownership when they left the franchise without a #1 option at wideout.

Steelers
|
Doug Pettis
|
MLB
|
This Steelers team can move the football, it just couldn’t stop a nosebleed last season. 31st in points, and 32nd in both total defense and passing defense, things need to get better. The Heisman winner had the best combine of any MLB. The best tape, the best combine, Pettis is a lock to be the next star at MLB.
|
|
3
|
Saints
|
Romeo McCuthcheon
|
DE
|
A team as untalented as the Saints has to go best available and continue to build up the core. The Saints may feel they are “strong” with Cam Jordan and Dereck Barnett at DE. But no job should be safe after a 1 win season. Take the best talent at your draft position.
|
|
4
|
Dolphins
|
Nick Wofford
|
DT
|
I pray for Dolphins fans that this isn’t another QB pick. The Dolphins were carved up in the running game with the 30th ranked run defense. Wofford is a powerful DT capable of getting enough push on the line to help the Dolphins win the battle of the trenches.
|
|
5
|
49ers
|
Matt Knight
|
OG
|
A prime Tom Brady would probably struggle to win games if his run game gave him a whole 40 yards a game, the 49ers have Kemani Lowery. The 49ers have to start taking the pressure off their QB and win up front. Knight is the best run blocker in the class.
|
|
6
|
Eagles
|
Nicholas Hobbs
|
OG
|
The 32nd ranked Eagles offense was painful to watch all season. They remain committed to Hurts. With some great skill position talent in Reagor, Sanders, and Goedert, the Eagles need to win up front and get the offense into 3rd and manageable situations by improving their O line play.
|
|

|
Vikings
|
Christian Thomas
|
S
|
The Vikings took a pretty big step backwards on defense falling all the way to 28th overall. They could use a leader ala Harrison Smith of years past. Thomas was a team captain and leader through both voice and play in his time at Washington. I like the fit here.
|
|
8
|
Cardinals
|
Deandre Powers
|
DE
|
JJ Watt is 34 and Nichols put up 2 sacks last year. DE is a position that should be near the top of the Cardinals draft board. Powers was a force at Auburn.
|
|
9
|
Bills
|
Jaron Thomas
|
HB
|
The Bills are wasting their passing talent because they are getting next to nothing out of their rushing game and are forced to be one dimensional. Jaron Thomas is a shifty one cut back in the mold of another Florida State running back, Devonta Freeman.
|
|
10
|
Chargers (from Browns)
|
Joseph Roach
|
CB
|
Now that the Chargers employ both Bosa boys, we are looking at possibly the best defense in the AMG. Can the defense get better? Sure it can! Somehow the Chargers traded for a Bosa brother and moved up in the draft.
|
“In the run heavy AFC South, the Colts defense was gashed to the tune of over 100 yards per game on the ground. McGee is a run stopping specialist at DE and a great fit for the 3-4 defense the Colts run.”

11
|
Texans
|
Adonis Flowers
|
DT
|
The best looking GM in the AMG will recognize the 32nd ranked run defense is not cutting in the AFC South. Flowers is a DT who can plug holes and help improve the worst defense in the AMG.
|
|
12
|
Cowboys
|
Jeremy Anderson
|
CB
|
The Cowboys secondary has been a below average but young unit for the last 4-5 years. They are no longer young, and we can’t talk about potential with every projected starter being 27 or older. This secondary needs some help and the 21 year old Anderson is just the guy to do it.
|
|
13
|
Seahawks
|
Jalen Weathers
|
DE
|
The Seahawks defensive line is...a mess right now. Their projected starters as DE and DT have a combined 2 sacks in their career. This is a no brainer. Wagner is aging fast and can’t keep outplaying a terrible defensive line.
|
|
14
|
Colts
|
Mack McGee
|
DE
|
In the run heavy AFC South, the Colts defense was gashed to the tune of over 100 yards per game on the ground. McGee is a run stopping specialist at DE and a great fit for the 3-4 defense the Colts run.
|
|
15
|
Bears
|
Juan Calloway
|
DT
|
The Bears defense has really fallen off a cliff and was ranked 29th in yards per game last year. I like Calloway to be a big presence in the middle of the field and take some of the pressure off Mack as he recently celebrated his 32nd birthday.
|
|
16
|
Bucs
|
Miguel Ruiz
|
TE
|
The pass heavy Bucs were a bit of a let down after winning the SB 2 years ago. Probably a little high for Ruiz, but the Bucs are only a few pieces away from another run at a SB and TE is a really weak position for them.
|
|
17
|
Patriots
|
Chris Whitlock
|
DT
|
Defensive tackle is a really strong position in the class and I got another one going to the Patriots. Whitlock has been a fast riser of late and has really gathered steam as a 1st round prospect.
|
|
18
|
Bengals
|
Keenan Yarbrough
|
DE
|
The Bengals defensive line really struggled last year producing almost single digit sacks. It has got to be better up front. I like Yarbrough as a decent pass rushing prospect
|
|
19
|
Football Team
|
Connor Jackson
|
WR
|
The Football team has one of the best defenses in the AMG. They simply must go offense here. Jackson is lighting quick, if the Football Team passes on him, expect some of the teams in the lower 1st round to pounce on him. An ideal slot WR.
|
|
20
|
Giants
|
Javon Ridley
|
OT
|
Barkley has been solid the last 3 years. But he hasn’t led the league in rushing, or even come close. Let’s get the man some help up front and prove he’s one of the best talents in the AMG.
|
|
21
|
Browns (from Chargers)
|
Terrence Charlton
|
OLB
|
The Browns collapsed last year and we have to blame their 30th ranked scoring defense. Charlton is probably the best pass rushing OLB in this draft and would instantly start for the Browns defense.
|
“The run of DTs continues. The former Gamecock had a great career and is a great AMG prospect at only 21. This would be a nice upgrade for the Ravens.”

22
|
Broncos
|
Antwan Bruton
|
WR
|
I am pretty underwhelmed, save Hamler and Fant, with the Broncos receiving core. Jackson had probably his worst year as a pro. I think getting Jackson some help at WR should be the main focus for the Broncos this draft.
|
|
23
|
Falcons
|
Charles Biggers
|
S
|
The Falcons tossed away Keanu Neal to put extremely undertalanted but faster guys at safety. They have responded by going 32nd and 31st in passing defense the last 2 years.For the love of God, I hope the Falcons GM doesn't take another WR (Julio still on the roster) with the fastest 40 time and addresses the position.
|
|
24
|
Raiders (from Jets)
|
Mack Collier`
|
QB
|
Don’t really see Collier as a 1st round prospect, but he is certainly better than the 35 year old Tannehill. At least Collier can run around a little bit before he throws the ball into the dirt.
|
|
25
|
Titans
|
Malachi Thomas
|
DE
|
The Titans secondary is stupidly (and annoyingly) talented. But as per theme in the AFC South, they have been gashed in the run game ranking 31st. Thomas is a big powerful DE who can impact the game in both the pass and run games.
|
|
26
|
Lions
|
Nicholas Jacobs
|
CB
|
The Lions roster is much improved, but still a little weak at CB. At 23, Jacobs is more of a play now guy who can compete for the slot position for the Lions in training camp.
|
|
27
|
Rams
|
Will Drew
|
MLB
|
Will Drew had a pretty decent combine and is only 21 years old. The Rams have a pretty decent defense but haven’t had a true leader in the middle for a few years.
|
|
28
|
Ravens
|
Kirk Hayward
|
DT
|
The run of DTs continues. The former Gamecock had a great career and is a great AMG prospect at only 21. This would be a nice upgrade for the Ravens.
|
|
29
|
Packers
|
Jermaine Davis
|
S
|
Is Harrison Smith starter quality as father time starts to slow him down? Possibly, but Davis is young, talented and could find no better mentor.
|
|
30
|
Jags
|
David Lewis
|
S
|
The Jags finally released the corpse of Earl Thomas after giving him plenty of playing time the last few years. Lewis is a long term safety prospect that could use some grooming.
|
|
31
|
Panthers
|
Dillion Gates
|
OT
|
The Panthers neared perfection but fell just short. They let go of most of their offensive line and have yet to replace them. This is a pick for need rather than talent.
|
|
32
|
Chiefs
|
Kyrie Ware
|
OT
|
Finally our SB Champs! The only complaint you could find about the Chiefs last year was their dead last efficiency in running the ball, per AMG PFF. I like taking an offensive lineman to help stabilize things up front for Josh Jacobs.

As always, Thanks for tuning in!
