I do have some concerns that Biadasz is being a bit overrated here, but that doesn't mean everyone is slotting him wrong. The reason I say that is that he struggles with big, strong dudes on the interior in pass pro and he's not a guy like Nelson that can drive people off the ball in the run game. I think Jake Hansen is every bit as good of a prospect and has the same flaws. The Huddle Report currently has Biadasz as the 40th overall prospect and I think that's really fair. That means you still gotta take him with the Chiefs' first round pick. I'd rather take a guy like Florida State's Marvin Wilson here and pick up Hansen in the 2nd, but that's me.
I personally think that the end of 2 is a bit low for Tylan Wallace. I see him as a top 40 guy. A lot depends on how he runs though. The slower he is, the further he falls from that spot.
Alot of places have Hunter Bryant as the top tight end in the draft but I, personally, don't like undersized tight ends. He's 6'2" 230, which is more of a big receiver than anything. He'll struggle to ever be big enough to take on offensive lineman at the point. I much prefer Purdue's Brycen Hopkins, who reminds me a ton of a young Kelce.
Anae set the 2nd half of the season on fire and ended up with like a dozen sacks. I like him, but I wanted to see something against Oregon's o-line and he didn't deliver. I think you have him in a good spot and he needs to develop more strength to be more consistent on a down-to-down basis.

Thanks for the comments.
Draftnetwork had Henderson as the no. 5 CB (Okudah, Fulton, Diggs, Wade before him). I guess I'd be surprised if one of them doesn't make it to the 25th pick with a few teams being in the QB market this year, although it definitely could happen.
I agree Biadasz isn't like Nelson, but that's the reason I have him going 32nd rather than top 5. I can still see him being a significant upgrade over Reiter very quickly. I cast around for free agent centers and I just couldn't find one I like, free agent trackers tend to only list one position so there might be a good one I'm missing who is listed as a guard.
As for Wallace, I think this class is just so deep at WR that someone like him falls.
I can agree with you on Bryant, Hopkins is the no.1 tight end on the draft network's board so he was already gone by the end of the 2nd. I wasn't tight against the cap in this mock so Bell could have been brought back on a minimal deal if I hadn't taken Bryant there. I could have added more CB depth instead, I think Jeff Gladney, TCU and Jaylon Johnson, Utah were still on the board.
It actually seems like a very thin TE class, next TE off the board was Jared Pinkney, Vanderbilt. Any thoughts on him?
