Having a bad week, so just doing a mock to distract myself.
Switching the Packers to 32 (and the teams without a 1st to their correct spots) gets annoying, so I just let PFF set the order even though as we have already established, PFF order is wrong.

You have insufficient rights to see the content.1) CB Harris
No, he's not related to Al Harris (as far as I can tell), but he's fast, strong and physically like Al with has good speed to go with it. To be our long term #1 CB going forward.
2) DT Banks
Need to work on his endurance, as when he gets tired his techquie gets lazy, including pad level high, but at his best, he's a surprisingly athletic 6'5" 325lb which great short area quickness and and power.
3) LT Tierman
Very large, 6'6" 330lbs, LT for Notre Dame with gold quick feet for his size. Probably won't actually fall this far.
4) LT Smith
6'4" 310lb, LT for Indiana, which one of the best OL in college last year, and Smith gives his QB lots of time in the pocket with good pass protection and clearly he's being the leader with high expectations for the OL this year again.
4) DT Marshall
Under weight DT at 6'3", 290lbs, but a penetrator who wasn't doubled teamed a lot (as he was rarely in the A gap) but won a very good percentage of the pass rush plays when he was doubled. He also played over 100 snaps at DE showing versatility.
4) TE Kitselman
6'5", 255lb TE that was a highschool OT/DE before being converted to a TE in Community College. GREAT physical blocking TE that help them lead in rushing, but he also has not dropped a single pass in his entire college career (yet). He's not the most athletic, and don't expect him to go deep, but he also effect in a traditional TE roles in the passing game as well.
5) Might as well group these "CB"s together, but note, they're clearly different styles.
- Outside CB Igbinosun
- Slot / Dime/ SS Kilgore
- Slot / CB Scott
CB Igbinosun
Explosive, long strider, which makes him an outside only CB, allegedly ran a 4.34 in the 40 (but while fast, he doesn't consistently play that fast, but still fast). With an overly physical style of play, which is good to be physically, BUT he also drew the most penalize DB in all of college football. If he can play smarter, then he potentially could rise a lot.
Slot/Dime/SS Kilgore
Primary playing amin the slot, PFF has listed 6'1" 220 Kilgore as a CB. In the last two years he's played 885 snaps in the slot, 384 in the box (Dime LB), 229 as a deep Safety, 26 at the DL, and only 20 as an outside CB. Kilgore is an elite run defender, and enforcer, but while he has great physical potential in coverage, all the moving around might have stunted his growth a bit and he still needs help in some the technical aspect of coverage, but he has the physical potential. As basically a LB/S tweener, he should be in high demand for the coverage units on STs.
Slot/CB Scott
5'11" 190", Primary a slot CB but also has a decent number of snaps as an outside CB. Scott doesn't have the best speed, but he's a master technician seemingly having a quick mental and physical processor and surprisingly physically for his smaller size, plays bigger than his numbers. Scott also plays on most ST units already and should be able to help with those in the pros.
5) QB Mateer
29 TDs to 7 INTs with 64% completion rating and over 3,000 yards. Duel threat QB that has numbers similar to size/speed to Malik Willis, 6'1", 220 lbs, expected 40 speed in the 4.5.
Though he's been tabbed by Dan Orlovsky as this year's QB to take a huge jump up the draft board, like he correctly picked Jackson Dart.
Mateer was a backup behind Cam Ward, until Ward transfered to Miami in 2024, and Ward was the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Mateer is also transferring in 2025, following his offensive coordinator/QB coach from Washington State to Oklahoma.
The biggest knock on Mateer so far, is that he was a backup when Washington State was in the Pac 12, then the Pac 12 broke up, he became a starter against a weaker independent schedule. And looks like their team (especially the defense) got absolutely blown out in the two games they faced a ranked opponent.
