What an incredible haul!
These two should be a dynamic duo for years to come!
Easy home run pick.
He’s got ideal size and arm strength and has a winning pedigree.
I expect him to start to turn the Patriots around.
Maybe not this year, but once the team gets some talent.
He is the guy.
Alt and Rashawn Slater could be bookend tackles for Herbert’s entire career.
Eagles: A
Quinyon Mitchell at #22 was a steal!
They didn’t even have to move up!
He was my top rated Cornerback and he instantly upgrades their secondary which was their biggest need.
Outstanding maneuvering of the board to get their guy who was falling.
Steelers: A
They addressed a huge need at Left Tackle while also staying pat at #20.
This will be huge for his development in what is likely a make or break year.
The best dressed guy goes to New York.
Great value at a position of need.
They also traded back to pick up additional assets.
Jaguars: A-
Brian Thomas Jr. is a homerun pick and started the second run on Receivers.
Thomas has that potential.
Not only that, but they traded down and got more assets to do so.
Commanders: A-
Daniels is a great fit in Washington.
I was a Drake Maye as QB2 guy, but Daniels is right there.
Happy for all my Washington friends to get their QB of the future.
He played Left Tackle at Arizona, but projects better as a Guard.
Either way, the Packers just bought Jordan Love some much needed time.
So they got a Quarterback and an EDGE rusher.
There are some concerns both will get there, but you have to love the aggressiveness.
This pick gives the team a lot more juice than Adam Thielen and Diontae Johnson.
The greatest voice in the NFL now resides in Carolina.
Bengals: C+
Amarius Mims is a BIG TIME projection.
He’s only started eight games.
But he’s 6'8" 340 lbs.
with a massive wingspan and dominated when he was on the field.
But again, that was only for eight games.
Will that translate to the NFL?
I don’t think anyone can confidently give you an answer on that.
But if it does work out, this becomes an A+.
He’s the most natural pass rusher but was medically retired at Washington.
After transferring to UCLA he showed out.
How long will his career be?
Will he be an instant impact guy?
It’s all very hard to see.
I could see him being rookie of the year but I could also see him having a short career.
Ravens: C
Nate Wiggins is a good cover Corner but very light at 173 lbs.
and not a super aggressive tackler.
Raiders: D+
What a confusing pick.
They just drafted Michael Mayer, who was a very good Tight End last year.
So I guess they’re just going to run a lot of 12 personnel next year?
Maybe go big and shift into passing sets where their size either overwhelms Corners or speed blows by Linebackers?
I like the player, don’t like the fit.
Chiefs: D-
Xavier Worthy?
The speedster that has only had three 100+ yard games the past two seasons.
Also less than 19% of his plays went for 20+ yards.
Feels like a one trick pony.
Broncos: F
Bo Nix at 12?!
Holy cow that’s rich!
They’re paying $2.50 on the dollar for a QB with a low ceiling.
I understand QBs were at a premium but this was far too rich.
This was by far the most bizarre move o the draft.
One of the more memorable surprises in NFL Draft history.
Looking forward to seeing how it pans out.
But as far as instant reactions, this was definitely the worst grade of Day 1.
