Bleacher report released a 1st round mock draft today and they have Barron going to 49ers at 11.  Would be a good landing spot for him.  Craziest take i've read though is Banks at 18.  His draft spot isn't what is crazy - they are saying that he is being looked at now more as a guard.  That is absouletly ridiculous in my eyes.

Tennessee with a 3rd QB draft attempt to be their franchise QB is absurd. And Dallas taking a receiver instead of Ashton Jeanty or a guard to follow Zack Martin. Same goes for Vegas taking a receiver when they still don't have a quality QB.

Dallas needs WR and Oline help rhe most.

You can get a good back in later rounds. Probably is Dallas got NO ONE last year. 
 

Dowdle has been alright and kind of a pleasant surprise as a 1000 yard back. He is absolutely not the biggest issue for the Cowboys.

Reading bleacher report for draft predictions is where you went wrong in the first place. 

Dallas needs an OL.

 

But it won’t surprise me if they take a RB.

 

I’d like to see Helm go to Dallas. 

Would not surprise me to see Banks go to Atlanta at pick 15.  They need a LT pretty bad and Campbell will come off the board first (even if he shouldn't).

The Dallas Oline sucks

Bleacher Report is where you go to work when no other legitimate publication will hire you.

I would love to see how well mock drafts in January correlate with the actual draft, I'm going to google it.

One thing this mock does have right, NFL teams will undoubtedly do stupid things in the draft.

you accidentally break at least one 30+ yard run or pass play with all this opportunities

There's a Consensus Big Board site that looks at several hundred mock drafts and calculates the most likely results.  You can compare past years and drafts and see how well (or not) the actual first round draft compares with the 'consensus'.  I checked it once, I think 26 or 27 first rounders were actually taken in round one (though not necessarily by the predicted team), most of the other predicted 1st rounders in the first few picks of round 2. This actually seems to be more accurate than Mel and the other gurus.

For Texas they have 13 players listed in the Top 256 with Banks and Williams in round one, Barron, Bond and Ewers in round two.  https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/colleges/2025/texas-longhorns  (couldn't help but compare this to A&M since they are next in line at this site - even with the highest ranked recruiting class in history A&M only has 4 going in the Top 256 and two of them transferred in)

Nice! Thanks for sharing this, I googled it, but it's a complicated question...

I still don't think Milroe will go above Quinn, but the NFL does dumber things every year.

Texas has gone up against 31 of the top 150 this season ...prior to Ohio State who has 12 in top 150

Milroe won't. Pro day will end that

To quote myself (haha) - while looking at what Gerry said about Georgia just now I noticed that in today's version Barron is now listed above Cam Williams in round one, so we currently have three first rounders.  This 'Consensus' is made up of several hundred data points and changes every time new mocks are released, so it can change as new info is added and old mocks are removed.  In case anyone is wondering why I had Barron in the 2nd round - that was so yesterday 🙂
