Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: Buffalo Bills
Larry Moore: John Ladner - LB
Raised to know the value of hard work. He is driven by the love of the sport. Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. This is a kid where every tackle could be on the highlight reel. He hits so hard and with perfect leverage. In college, he dominated when bull rushing. He is strong enough that he can continue to do that in the pros. While not elite, his speed is good enough to deliver pressure and keep contain. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.

Jim Nox: John Ladner - LB
Knows what it takes to achieve success at any level. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. Here you have a guy, who really benefits the atmosphere in the building. Everyone wants to be around him. Tackles so well. Will foce fumbles. Consistently takes bigger ballcarriers to the ground. Fans will love the tenacity. Great strength and physique. Not a topnotch forty time, but not bad either. Has enough quickness in his first step to do everything you ask of him. Fans, coaches, and teammates alike will be ecstatic to get him on the team. He fits what they need, he is such a great talent. Everything lines up.

Pick 2: Indianapolis Colts
Larry Moore: Jon Johnson - DT
The kind of leadership he shows makes coaches salivate. Known among his teammates as a hard worker. In addition to his own role, this kid doubles as glue. He makes everyone on the field play as a team. Amazing strength. This is something teams love because it means he has the physical tools to become elite. This guy will clug up the middle for you forcing offense to run outside. He can deliver pressure up the middle with his speed. But will struggle to chase down faster Quarterbacks outside the pocket. Some might say this is a 'need' pick, but we must remember, this is a really good player as well. He will contribute early and often. No losers here.

Jim Nox: Jon Johnson - DT
His leadership is through the roof. He is on the frontline, always. Due to his work ethic, this kid is very coachable. I want this kid on my team. He understands his role on the field, and how it fits in with what everyone else is doing. Powerful! He can succesfully bull rush fully grown offensive linemen. This is the kind of kid you can use to anchor the center of your line.Will close down quickly if left unblocked. Good speed is a rare commodity, and while he is not elite in that regard, he has enough to warrant being picked this high. Fits the bill, great quality pick, and fills a soft spot on the roster. They should have no qualms here, run to the podium and get your man.

Pick 3: Miami Dolphins
Larry Moore: Roderick Lee - DT
He wants to win! Imagine having that kind of strength consistently blowing through the middle. I can, scouts can, and coaches can. With this kind of physique, many teams would love to have him. He can deliver pressure up the middle with his speed. But will struggle to chase down faster Quarterbacks outside the pocket. I like the way he tackles. Wraps up the ball carrier and drags him down. No need to take chances. Plug a hole in the roster with a great player. That is really what they need to do. This pick does it.

Jim Nox: Jerome Williamson - DT
Teammates look to him for leadership, and he consistently delivers. Teammates love him. All he cares about is the team. He helps everyone succeed. This is a kid, where if you are winning he will shine, but he might have trouble with adversity. He brings decent strength to the position. Can collapse the pocket against weaker offensive linemen. Not really a speed rusher. But still among the faster DTs. Enough explosiveness to get the the Quarterback, and that is all you need really. Coaches like how well he tackles. Fits the bill, great quality pick, and fills a soft spot on the roster. They should have no qualms here, run to the podium and get your man.

Pick 4: Philadelphia Eagles
Larry Moore: Max Brogan - DE
Respected for his good behavior on the field. His physical foundation given him an incredible ceiling. Kid is strong and gets good leverage on his initial push. Will not have to come off the field for in obvious passing situations. Has enough quickness to pressure Quarterbacks off the edge. Finishes tackles well. Solid talent that fits their needs. Really that is all there is to it. Perfect situation. Take the money and run.

Jim Nox: Max Brogan - DE
He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. This is a young man who has enough strength to consistently challenge offensive linemen. That is the kind of thing teams love about him. Is speedy enough to stay on the field in passing situations. You will see him make a lot of tackles. Rock solid player is just what they need. A great fit here, both in terms of need and quality.

Jim Nox: Nathaniel Larson - G
Here you have a kid who puts in the work to succeed. Here is a kid who will go through fire for his coaches and teammates. This is a young man who, in terms of strength, can go toe to toe with the biggest defensive linemen. Run blocking is very different when facing college kids than the full-grown men in the pros. This kid has the skills to do the latter. Has superb leverage in the passing game. You put him on the field from day one and he will go toe to toe with the best passrushers. When the available talent fits what you need, there is reason to celebrate. They are getting a great talent who will serve them for many years.

Pick 6: Los Angeles Rams
Larry Moore: Ricky Hodgson - G
His college coaches talk highly of his work ethic. He comes of the line with power and leverage on run plays. This is something that scouts notice. He can hold his own in the passing game. Will improve once he finetunes his technique, but he is already pretty good. He is alert and makes smart decisions to developments in the play. Wonderful situation for them to be able to pick the best player available here.

Jim Nox: Ricky Hodgson - G
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. Scouts love his understanding for opening running lanes in the running game. He has shown in college he can hold his own in pass blocking.

Pick 7: New Orleans Saints
Larry Moore: Jim Cheek - T
This guy understands what it means to be a pro. He takes care of his teammates. Most everyone who ever played with him, counts him as their friend. Sufficiently strong for the pro game.

Take the blue-chip player. Do not worry about sexier picks. He fits what you need and the quality is there.

Pick 8: Oakland Raiders
Larry Moore: Scott Fish - WR
His college coaches talk highly of his work ethic. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. His college tape shows him catching the ball well. Pretty good straight line speed. Can run the deeper routes in the pros. Makes nice jumpcuts after the catch. Elusive enough to be dangerous on short and intermediate routes. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.

Jim Nox: Scott Fish - WR
The guy has his head on straight. His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. Catches the ball well, even while moving. His speed compliments his game, and will be a nice asset to the offense. Has the balance and shiftiness to work well on short and intermediate routes from the slot. They need him now. Well yesterday actually. They will love him tomorrow. They will revere him by the end of his career.

Pick 9: Cincinnati Bengals
Larry Moore: Edwin Hall - SS

Jim Nox: Edwin Hall - SS
The guy has his head on straight. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. Liked by coaches and teammates. Fast. Fast enough to cover. Fast enough to Blitz.

A leader on the field and in the locker room. What you get with this kid, is a guy who understands that this is a team sport. Loyal to the bone. You give him a chance and he will never abandon you. Here is a kid who right out of college can make ALL the throws. His great arm strength allows him to control the ball trajectory perfectly. High, long and soft? No problem! Low and hard like a bullet? Also no problem! You need him, just get him already.

Jim Nox: James Hill - CB
Need a leader? He is your guy. Known for showing up early and staying late. Raised to know the value of teamwork. Nothing gets you drafted early like speed. This kid is going to get drafted early.

A New Era in Houston: Texans Welcome Mysterious New Owner Ahead of 2059 Season

HOUSTON — Change has arrived in Texas, and this time it’s coming from the top.

The WWPF Houston Texans officially enter the 2059 season under new ownership, as the franchise has been acquired by **FedFan91**, a name that—until now—has barely registered on the WWPF radar. Unknown to football fans but rumored to be well-established in professional ice hockey circles, FedFan91 steps into one of the league’s most intriguing situations: a talented team on the brink, a hungry fan base, and a city desperate for a contender.

For Houston, the timing could not be better.
After months of uncertainty, the ownership situation was resolved just as training camps open across the league. Relief quickly turned into excitement across the city, where fans have been eager for stability and vision at the top. The Texans have long had the pieces, but consistency and long-term direction have often felt just out of reach.
Now, there’s hope that changes.

A Team Knocking on the Door
The Texans’ 2058 campaign told a familiar story—promise mixed with frustration. Finishing **9–7**, Houston narrowly missed the playoffs, watching January football from home despite fielding a competitive roster that battled deep into the season.
They weren’t bad. They just weren’t quite good enough.
Close losses, late-game miscues, and a few missed opportunities proved costly. Still, around the league, there’s a quiet consensus: the Texans are closer than their record suggests.
That’s what makes this ownership change so compelling.

Who Is FedFan91?
In WWPF circles, FedFan91 is a mystery. No prior ownership ties. No public football résumé. But whispers around the league suggest a background in **elite-level hockey management**, where success is built on analytics, roster depth, and long-term planning rather than splashy headlines.
If true, that pedigree could translate well to football.
Hockey executives are often praised for understanding cap discipline, player development, and organizational culture—three areas where the Texans could benefit most. Whether FedFan91 plans to be hands-on or operate quietly behind the scenes remains to be seen, but early signals suggest a calculated, patient approach rather than a headline-chasing one.
And in Houston, that’s welcome news.

A City Ready to Believe
Texans fans have endured ups and downs, rebuilds and near-misses. But there’s something different in the air as 2059 begins. Ownership stability has a way of energizing everything—from the front office to the locker room to the stands.
Houston wants a franchise that’s not just competitive, but **feared**.
That word keeps coming up. Feared. Respected. Taken seriously every week on the WWPF schedule.
FedFan91 now owns the responsibility—and the opportunity—to turn a solid team into a legitimate power.

The Road Ahead
The questions are obvious. Will the new owner invest aggressively? Will the front office remain intact? Is a cultural reset coming, or will FedFan91 double down on the existing core?
Those answers will unfold over time. But one thing is already clear: expectations have shifted.
A 9–7 season is no longer enough. In Houston, the bar has been raised.
As the 2059 season kicks off, all eyes will be on the Texans—not just for what happens on the field, but for what this new era might become. With fresh leadership, renewed optimism, and a roster poised to take the next step, the Texans finally feel like a franchise ready to announce itself.
A new owner. A new season. And maybe, at long last, a new identity.

In Houston, the future just got interesting.

Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become head coaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
Ramon Coleman - Offensive Coordinator - Pittsburgh Steelers
Jonathan Slagle - Offensive Coordinator - Jacksonville Jaguars
Michael Manning - Defensive Coordinator - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Michael Moriarty - Offensive Coordinator - Tennessee Titans
Eric Lefebvre - Offensive Coordinator - New England Patriots
Nicholas Dawkins - Defensive Coordinator - New York Jets
Steven Acosta - Offensive Coordinator - Oakland Raiders
Arthur Manning - Offensive Coordinator - Detroit Lions

As always, we are prone to wild speculations, so we asked our in-house experts to do a little matchmaking between candidates and teams. Here is what they came up with:

Mary Moore:
Eric Lefebvre leaves the Patriots to become the head coach for the San Diego Chargers.

Darren Francis:
I think the Jets lose Nicholas Dawkins and I see him heading to Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jim Nox:
I see Jonathan Slagle being promoted to head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jeremy Piper:
Ramon Coleman is certainly on the move. That means Steelers will need a new coordinator. As for where Coleman ends up? Well, I think Jacksonville Jaguars is a good bet.
