Good morning or evening.
Thank you for boarding this journey with me as we dive headfirst into NFL Draft season.
For a very quick rundown on how I like to mock…
So I’ll throw a few non-player comps out there, just a few.
Some of his highest highs come from making jaw dropping plays out of thin air.
Weakness: Finds himself in trouble too often because of that.
The play is over, move on and play for another down.
Showcased terrific ball placement en route to winning the Heisman.
I’m lower on Daniels than the vast majority of people.
I worry that there will be a rough transition period for him.
Weakness: Was often pressed in chaotic situations.
Felt like things were hectic quite a lot for him at UNC.
Will be nice to see him in a more stable environment in the NFL.
Fun Fact: Is already rich.
Maye would be the obvious choice at two for me.
He’s suffering greatly from prospect fatigue causing people to question his talent… that’s a mistake.
The kid is going to have a long and successful NFL career.
It’d wild they’ll be able to do that at No.
Played TE for a long time, helps him out heavily.
Wins at all areas of the field.
Shockingly, barring an unforeseen shift, it’ll be Jones again.
Weakness: For his standards and expectations, 2023 was lackluster.
Fun Fact: Volunteered at a local homeless shelter daily.
Finally,Steven Cheahand I have a different pick.
Weakness: Can benefit from adding more pass rush moves to his arsenal.
Fun Fact: Declared for the NFL Draft six seconds after Alabama lost to Michigan in the CFB Playoff.
And we’re back to Cheah and I having another exact pick.
Weakness: Has room to grow with high pointing the ball.
It’s no different this year as a prospect as intriguing as Nabers slots in as WR3 for me.
Bears fans can salivate at the thought of Caleb throwing to Malik as he gets guidance from D.J.
(Would benefit from shedding a few pounds) Will be a 21 year old rookie.
Weakness: Has to cut down on penalties.
Cool Stat: Exactly 874 snaps at RT in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Weakness: Will be 24 in his rookie year.
Fun Fact: Told me hed posterize me if given the opportunity.
There’s a remarkably high chance the Vikings take an edge rusher with one of their first two selections.
Weakness: Positional value of TE is very low.
predictability of where he lands is tough.
In my way too early mock I sent Bowers to Denver at No.
I can see him going in the top seven.
Cool Stat + Fun Fact: 0 Sacks allowed on 335 pass blocking snaps in 2023.
In January 2023 Jared Verse told me Guyton is the best player hes ever faced.
That was in early December, Guyton is consistently moving up boards but…
Weakness: Didnt exactly stuff the stat sheet.
Pokemon Comp: Togepi
Paying Derek Carr all that dough will never make sense to me.
Weakness: Everyone seeing he only wore a Toledo helmet.
Comp: Elmers Glue
This is another one of those picks where I plant my flag.
I’m a big believer in drafting two young corners with extreme talent and tools.
If you might get two stud CB’s on rookie deals, you’ve beat the system.
More teams should do this, I’m trying to start a movement.
Weakness: Medically retired in 2021 due to a neck injury.
Fun Fact: Remained at Washington as a student coach before hitting the transfer portal.
With how I view it, there’s a large range of outcomes for where Latu can be selected.
I can see top eight, I can also see him sliding out of the first round.
Fun Fact: Gifted his high school janitor one of his jerseys for Christmas.
Arnold is a savvy player and the Jags would be wise to select him here.
Weakness: 29th percentile arm length.
Weakness: Has struggled to keep up with physical wideouts, prospect fatigue is hitting him hard.
Weakness: Positional value of DT and Newtons height can drive his draft stock down.
Fun Fact: Wants to design and build cars after his football career.
Weakness: Average run defender.
Fun Fact: Washingtons Defensive MVP in 2022 and 2023.
Yes, I’m sending Miami another vaunted pass rusher.
Trice is a big time player that produces on a consistent basis.
This pick isn’t exactly a need, I’m very cognizant of that.
- Philadelphia Eagles - CB Kamari Lassiter (Georgia)
Ranking: CB5
Strength: Highly intellectual.
Weakness: Doesnt have top tier speed, leads to being beat deep.
I didn’t mean to do this but the Eagles go down the Georgia route again.
Lassiter fits what they’re looking for, a brilliant mind that can dissect a play with ease.
He’s physical and combative in the run game too, this pick was a no brainer.
Weakness: Torn ACL in 2021, plagued by injuries in 2023 including a nagging groin injury.
Weakness: Played in the shadows of Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers.
Just one season of dominance under his belt.
Fun Fact + Cool Stat: Played both football and basketball in high school.
Scored more than 1,000 points in each of his three seasons of basketball.
Jerry Jones gets what Jerry Jones wants.
Return upside as well thanks to wicked twitch and smooth movement.
Weakness: Press man coverage.
Fun Fact: Chose to play DB at Iowa over QB at South Dakota State.
DeJean brings plenty of versatility to the field, he’s a defensive coordinator’s dream.
Weakness: Less than desirable top end speed.
Fun Fact: Started Wiggs Worldwide Foundation to improve the lives of kids by supporting underprivileged communities.
The organization has a major focus on building a better future through mentorship and support for local organizations.
As the days go by, I tend to become higher and higher on Nate Wiggins.
Weakness: People have concern about how high his ceiling is/room for growth.
No, I am not a fan of the team.
Weakness: Too emotional at times which can lead to penalties.
Fun Fact: Dad played football at Eastern Michigan, Mom ran track at Eastern Michigan.
Weakness: Has to put on more weight, sits at about 250 right now.
Fun Fact: Weighed 14 pounds out of the womb and got the nickname Pork-Chop.
Was shortened to Chop once he got older and said I cant have people calling me Pork-Chop.
Chop Robinson is ready to bite knee caps.
Dan Campbell is going to fall in love with the man formerly known as Pork-Chop.
- Baltimore Ravens - S Kam Kinchens (Miami)
Ranking: S2
Strength: Impeccable range.
Playmaker, big time ball skills.
Weakness: Can lose reps due to being overly aggressive.
I’ll take a good safety all day long, I’ll gladly draft them in the first too.
Ravens fans, you’ll enjoy my second safety pick of the first round.
He will probably have a top 20 player grade from me.
Weakness: For a guy his size youd like him to be a more dependable run blocker.
Fun Fact: Doing a behind the scenes Path to the Draft on his YouTube channel.
Hey Taylor Swift, get ready to celebrate Troy Franklin touchdowns.
I love Franklin and he’d be lethal in a KC offense that desires electricity after the catch.
Put this kid next to Rashee Rice and let’s have some fun.
