Thought for sure my brain was fried tonight.
I’ve written roughly 5,000 unpublished words from Friday through the weekend about the NFL Draft.
Those are coming soon.
This doesn’t count toward that total.
FromThe Draft NetworkCOO Jaime Eisner’s mock draft.
A nugget of information that could change the entire 2023 NFL Draft.
The En Eff El Draft.
2 OVERALL!?!?!?
[The Draft data pipe]
“2.
Minnesota Vikings (via HOU) Will Levis QB, Kentucky
…Surprise!
You may have seen the betting odds change for the No.
2 overall pick on Saturday, with Will Levis becoming the odds-on favorite.
But I dont think thats because the Texans are taking him.
Levis will succeed Kirk Cousins after the Vikings chose not to extend the latter beyond this season.
There is a major disconnect between how fans and those inside the NFL view Will Levis.
That sounds like the biggest piece of shit nonsense you’ve ever heard.
Sounds like Jamie Eisner took the bait of the ultimate, far-fetched smokescreen hook, line and sinker.
…But as we’ve seen many times in years past, the draft is unpredictable as fuck.
This is why it’s so fun.
You might be thinking, “How on earth is Will Levis about to be the No.
2 overall pick?”
To which I would say…take a gander at thelatest odds to go No.
I’ve seen some shit in my day.
6 overall to acquire stud wide receiver Julio Jones.
Another misstep among many since the Browns returned to the NFL.
By “big” I mean this moving up this many spots in the order.
Still can’t believe the Bills were the team who made that trade.
Worked out I guess.
They got Josh Allen the next year.
It would seem that’s how he’s viewed in Minnesota and other corners of the NFL.
Twenty-third overall to the Vikings.Here’s the breakdown from that post:
“Will Levis' slide ends here.
The Vikings should be in the market to raise their ceiling at quarterback from Kirk Cousins.
Minnesota head coach Kevin OConnell comes from Sean McVays coaching tree.
Pretty easy to connect the dots.”
So yeah, it’s possible for you to see the logic plain as day.
Kevin O’Connell must be pushinghardfor this.
GM KAMis a cool nickname for the Vikings' lead personnel executive.
Gonna need a wheelbarrow for those nads.
El Pres and Big Cat are even wearing the Vikings purple for this absolutely spot-on GIF.
My brain is melting even more than it already was.
Ifthis is the route the Texans take, to some degree it makes sense.
Even if it’s a cringe-inducing, cop-out, wimpy-as-fuck move by GM Nick Caserio.
Seriously though, Caserio has the 12th overall pick.
Levis' sudden surge in draft stock is bad news for Richardson.
He’s my QB1 and will probably be the fourth guy taken.
Can you even fathom this Levis trade going down, and THEN the Cardinals giving up their No.
3 overall selection for someone to take an offensive lineman!?
Wow, Will Levis.
The most slandered quarterback throughout the pre-draft process.
Now everything has changed.
Watch the En Eff El Draft Show on Thursday hey.
