WalterFootball.com Updates
Latest content from the main site. This section will also evolve to feature reader content as it's posted.
-
Pittsburgh could use more young guard talent to emerge as long-term starters, so Dunker will be an immediate factor in competition for playing time.
-
Styles is fast and athletic, covering a ton of ground in zone coverage. Styles flies around the field and uses his tremendous speed to neutralize passes to the flat.
-
In pass protection, Mauigoa showed improvement and became a reliable protector in his final season. Mauigoa has natural strength, and his ability to sustain blocks is superb.

"In the course of NFL history, no coach has won a Super Bowl with a second franchise." - You mean no coach has won a Super Bowl with 2 different franchises. Don Shula, Bill Belichick, Tony Dungy, Tom Coughlin, Pete Carrol, John Fox and Andy Reid all won Super Bowls with the second franchise they coached. Shula, Fox and Reid even went to the Super Bowl with their first franchise

Come on Walt! The Texans did not trade out of the first round this year.

There was a lot of noise from the combine about Bain’s (short) arm length, and he seemed to immediately slide down draft boards when his arm length measurements were confirmed. Interesting that you didn’t note this as a factor too.

I would not be surprised to see Mateer drop to Day 3.

I like doing this exercise every year, even though trying to predict Round 2 is even more of a fool's errand than Round 1. Hey, I had 10 player-to-team matches in my Contest Mock, so I guess that wasn't too bad. (I would have done much, much worse with my Version 5.0 Mock, which I didn't bother to change in the last 48 hours or so.)

I didn't publish this before the draft, but this was my Contest entry. Looks like I ended up in 7th place and was live for a prize on the final pick by Seattle. If they had gone with McCoy I think I would have finished in the top 3, and had they picked McDonald I would have gotten 4 points and maybe gotten into the money. I had a horrible start to the top 8 picks (just Mendoza correctly) but after that, I had 9 correct player-team fits: Fano and Concepcion to the Browns, Downs and Lawrence to the Cowboys, Ioane to the Ravens, Cooper to the Jets, Freeling to the Panthers, Mesidor to the Chargers, and Johnson to the Dolphins. I know that on most mock grading systems, you get more credit when you get the right team along with the slot where a player gets taken, so maybe Walt and the site can consider changing the scoring system to allow for credit not merely based on the slotting of the player, but for matching players with teams as well. Anyway, here was my entry.

Unless something wild happens this season, Nico is not only not a first-round pick, he's undraftable.
Nico had one barely-200-yard game against a halfway decent secondary in 2025 [the last game, USC].. and exactly zero of those in 2024. He is not an NFL-level talent at the sport of football.
And his decision making off the field regarding his transfer to UCLA was a complete trainwreck, which has to be a big red flag to GMs. Browns draft picks improved tremendously once the guy who was only good at baseball [DePodesta] left to join the Rockies.. so I don't think the Browns will be anywhere near him.
Also, Nick Marsh is on Indiana for the 2026 season.
