NFL-OT [2024 DRAFT] MOCK SZN

Yeah he definitely is a different kind of WR. Has the numbers and the talent to talk all the shit he wants, but he never does.
If you put Amon Ra's contract in front of Aiyuk right now he'd probably sign it in a heart beat and suddenly he's not a "diva" anymore and is more like that quiet, humble hardworking dude St. Brown is. I love being reminded how people in here have the stupidest logic lol
I know that's why I'm thinking he goes after Hartman.
He fits the mold of average white guy that can throw. He is basically Kirk Cousins.
Don't really understand why Amon Ra was drafted so low... He was so polished in every aspect. I assumed that even after he was successful in the NFL, GMs were like "well, he's just a possession WR putting up empty stats. You don't draft those types high. I'd rather swing and miss on a guy who could be a true star!" Now he's the highest paid WR in the league...
Physical attributes don't jump off the page at you. Those kinds of guys are often overlooked or undervalued at draft time but also often end up being pretty consistent and productive NFL players especially at the skill positions. We just saw this with Puka Nacua last year too. Everyone wants their top 10/first round WRs to be 6'4 with 4.3 40s.
It's funny that we never hear about these low ball contracts teams offer at first.
Maye has been looking like a potential turnover machine to me. A lot of the tape I've seen was either throwing into wide open coverages, and a tendency to only make reads towards one side of the field. I see too much of a gunslinger type with him.
Was the tape from 2022 or 2023? 2023 he kinda looked like ass at times. But that was a different offense from 2022.
It was definitely the 2023 tape. That's the one the anonymous scouts were referring to in regards to his negatives.
This actually seems like too large a sample size. Draft trends shift much more frequently. There were two linebacker drafted in the top 10 all the way back in 2000. That will never be happen again.

Damn.. all the renderings they've shown are really nice.
They are getting roasted locally for this horrible press conference, so of course they want to direct everyone to the pretty fake pictures. They opened it with a pastor from an underserved area of the city praying for the billionaire family to get their stadium, and the "progressive" mayor who ran a campaign on not using taxpayer money to pay for stadiums is right there with them. The Bears think everyone here is an idiot. What a disaster if they get one dime of taxpayer money.
Yeah, I think this one could be one of the more wild drafts with the number of moves, especially in the top 20 or so.
Say what you will about Stan Kroenke (and you should) but at least he paid with his own money and others for SoFi.

As an Eagles fan, I'm honestly not excited for the draft this year. 22 isn't a great spot to pick from and most of the top guys i want will be gone by then. Howie could trade up but I don't want to give up valuable picks. But as far as NFL chaos goes, I'm stoked for that. Can't wait for some team to overpay to overdraft JJ McCarthy. Feels like destiny.
IMO, the two best linemen in football is Sewell and Trent Williams. Sewell shut down Nick Bosa in his first start ever playing LT.
The year he was drafted was a very big one for that position. This year will be similar.
Bengals have 10 draft picks which includes an extra 3rd, 6th and 7th. Really hope they pack package a couple of those extra picks and use it to move the 2nd round pick up. Ideally get someone like Latham at 18, then if Byron Murphy or Newton fall to the second round move up and get them.
Sheila woke up feeling SPENDY today. Glad Sewell and (Praise the) Sun God got locked up before the draft.
Now do Goff
Now do Goff
We're not use to but this is what it's like to have a competent GM for a change
I'm gonna give myself two more years of being amazed at this.
It'll be fine. Just get Laiatu Latu, Xavier Legette, and Kamari Lassiter with the first three picks and it will be a great class.
In my book, if the Colts trade up to the top ten, it would basically be only for one of the three big WRs. But I don't see it as likely.
Kind of don't like domed stadiums in areas that have inclimate weather. I've always liked that football is an all-weather sport. Love watching teams grind it out in the snow. Feels like we're losing that with all these indoor stadiums. I get that the cities want to bid for the Super Bowl and the NFL would never play a Super Bowl in snow (cowards), but still feels like part of the identity of the sport.
I could see someone trading with the Falcons or Titans if they're trying to snipe the 2nd/3rd WR still on the board. If Nabers or especially Odunze drop to 9, you know Chicago will take them.
Were getting in door/dome stadiums cause cities and such want to host events (Concerts, other sporting events and more) all year round.
Look at Green Bay/Lambeau Field it can't host much of anything (also helps the city is like 80% Bars), that and weather home field advantage hasn't really meant much look at the bills and Aaron Rogers history of playoffs at home.
I'm digging it, but we will have to see how the politics shake out. No way that shovels are going in the ground next year like the franchise wants lol.
That's where I am at. Trading up means giving up one of the 2nds and they don't have a 3rd thanks to the awful Kenny Pickett deal.
I rather they stay put at 22 and take BPA and hold on to their two 2nd rd picks.
I'd be more than ok with this haul!
Yeah if they trade up it would be for Odunze or Nabers if they're there at 9. But it's unlikely with Ballard's draft history. It's more likely they trade up 3 spots for Bowers if he's there. I think it's a trade back and draft Worthy in the 20s.
JD is drafting for his job. He's going to go for the immediate upgrades.
JJ will likely go in the top 5 (Vikings via trade with Chargers)? Penix may not make it past the Raiders and if he does, it wouldn't surprise me if he slips to day 2. Valuations of him seem to vary wildly.
#3 is where it all starts.
Schoen said he has 15 first round grades this year. Doesn't sound to me like a trade down.
I can't see this happening in no shape or form. I wouldn't be mad at trading back into the bottom of the first or picking him if he's still there in the second round.
Jay Glazer draft info, he made an appearance on a LA radio show and chimed in what he heard.
- The Patriots like Drake Maye a lot.
- He doesn't think 4 QBs go in the top 4.
- Penix at 13 is too high
- JC Latham's stock has skyrocketed
- No consensus on WRs 1-3
- Medicals are split on Laiatu Latu.

For over a year? That tells me Higgins starting number was insane.
