So, instead of the usual questions submitted and answered in our #PostPulpit mailbag, we will be going through a batch of your own mock drafts — where we hopefully will comment on a vast majority of prospects, trades, and all sorts of scenarios. So with that, let’s get into this week’s #PostPulpit Mailbag. Sportzballer: No trades since that is complicated.

A trade back or even a trade up at #31 is plausible depending on the board, and same for trades with the 4ths, but I’m just gonna stick with what we got. #31 Max Iheanachor (OT) #63 Malachi Lawrence (EDGE) #95 Sam Roush (TE) #125 Domani Jackson (CB) #131 Jeff Caldwell (WR) #171 Kaleb Elarms-Orr (LB) #191 Caden Curry (EDGE) #198 Eli Heidenreich (WR) #202 Albert Regis (DT) #212 Logan Taylor (IOL) #247 Brett Thorson (P) Iheanachor was the runaway pick at No. 31 overall in these submitted mock drafts; not a surprise after Mike Vrabel’s hands-on workout with the tackle at his Pro Day last week.

Iheanachor started playing football late which leads to some refinement in his technique needed, but he has the size, athletic profile, and plenty of impressive film at Arizona State to where you can easily see upside at the position. A year behind Morgan Moses definitely wouldn’t hurt. One of the reasons I’ve gravitated more towards a first-round pick like Iheanachor in recent weeks is because of the depth along the edge and at tight end on day two.
