Ok Coyote Starrk and the Denver Broncos are up, he gave me some picks but it's early I'll see if he wants to submit his choice
The Denver Broncos select Bo Nix.
I think we trade down a bit and take him a bit later than this, but I think we end up with him. The Broncos have missed on every single QB they have drafted since we last won the Super Bowl. Every. Single. One.
Maybe this time will be different. Maybe this time we get our guy. 🥲

As long as the numbers don't have horns on them I'm happy.
Also, nice to learn who Ben Simmons favorite QB is.

I went back and for between Nix or Mitchell.
I could see us grabbing Mitchell and pairing him with Surtain to just try and shut down the likes of Herbert and Mahomes. Just grab a mid rounder to see if you get lucky.
But I think we are going to go QB. Nix will be the best Left at that point unless they find cocaine in Caleb Williams bags this week.

With the 13th pick in the 2024 NFLEra mock draft, the Las Vegas/Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders select:
Michael Penix Jr. QB. Washington
While I wouldn't make this pick, I believe if the board fell this way the Raiders would. Penix is the last of the "justifiable" first round QB picks, and while I think this is too high, that's the QB tax. I think the Raiders prefer to trade-up for Daniels or Maye, or trade up from the second into the late first for Penix, but with the board falling like this the risk of Penix not being there is too high. If they try the second strategy of going elsewhere here at 13 and trying to trade-up into the late first for Penix, Fuaga (OT) and Arnold (CB) feel like the most likely Raider picks.

This is moving faster than I thought, alright next pick is a group pick, first player to 3 votes wins.
I feel the Saints would go OT, either Fuaga, Latham, or Fashanu. I have Fuaga rated higher, so I'd go with him
They PM'd me. They told me to tell you that they take Cooper Dejean 😏

It's funny how a narrative around a player suddenly changes when he's joined your team. I remember the Broncos fans laughing at the Jets for the past two years about Zach Wilson, and now if you listen to local radio out here they're saying "he's got a lot of talent, and we needed a veteran presence in the locker room for whatever QB we bring in". But then they'll spend hours banging on Russ because he wasn't worth his contract.
Hopefully this is how it really goes lol. Worst case for the Bengals is if all the top OTs and defensive line guys are gone before 18
one way or another 6 are going in the first imo. and probably higher than where we are projecting because of the trades teams will pull off

With pick 15 in the Era mock draft, the Indianapolis Colts select:
Brian Thomas Jr., wide receiver, LSU.
This likely isn't what the real Colts would do with this board (imagine go CB and take offense 2nd round). However, for this mock, it is imperative we set up Anthony Richardson for success. What better way to do that than set him up with an athletic freak like Thomas. 4.33 40 at 6'3, 209 pounds. Had a 2.61 yards per route run (a stat that has some correlation to future success), was second in deep yards and tied for third on deep catches. Richardson giant arm and Brian Thomas will age together like fine wine. Additionally, Thomas's career targeted QB rating is a whopping 132.8! His receiving yards per pass attempt is a bit lower than the other prospect was considering here (Xavier Worthy) BUT playing with Malik Nabers could explain some of that coming out of the WR factory of LSU. Add Brian Thomas as another high end WR product from the Tigers.
Go colts!
Colts fans, you like this pick? I love it!

Without trades it usually gets that way but trades would make it worse
Chargers taking Joe Alt would be an all time dumb move.
He is a star LT and the chargers have an all pro LT already. Why risk that big of a pick on a guy just to switch him to a position that he has never played before.

I love Rich Eisen but this is a fucking STRETCH

I also have a trash can. Doesn't mean I'll make it my starting QB.
It feels entirely predictable. I called this move weeks and weeks ago.
Caleb not at least making it to the Stafford / Dak / Kirk Cousins tier would be kinda wild with all the hype.
If that happens, I'd like to see one of these other kids make it there. All six busting would be awful for the league.
So trade down and draft one.
Don't take a career LT who has never played RT at #5 and just hope that it works. They have way too many needs that need filled for that. They could get a small fortune for the #5 pick. Especially if McCarthy is still there.
Slater played RT in college. Lane Johnson was a LT who was placed at RT cuz the Eagles had All Pro Jason Peters. Idk how drafting Joe Alt is more dangerous than drafting Bo fuckin Nix
There's like zero downside kicking the tires on Zach. It's like someone gave us a $5 lottery ticket for $2, might as well see what happens and if it doesn't work out then oh well. I honestly really like the idea of a buffer QB like Zach around in case Stiddy sucks or gets hurt, there will be less pressure to start whomever they draft before they're ready.
However, if they don't draft a QB then I'll change my mind.
