Working backwards:

7th Round:  Wiley and Jaden Hicks would be the steals of the draft if they went this late.

6th:  Way too late for Javon Baker.  I also have Jordan Travis going to the 49ers here.  He makes sense as a backup to Purdy.

5th:  Matt Lee (like most of UM players in the draft), would have been drafted higher last year.

4th:  You're spot on about Lovett.  I think teams who don't like Fiske's measurables and run defense in the middle, like Lovett for the opposite reasons.  35"+ arms, zero missed tackles last year.

What happened with Michael Hall?  You had him as a 1st rounder for months.

3rd:  Tampa and Nubin would be steals here.  I like DBs who can tackle.

2nd:  Miami needs a run defender at DT, and drafting Newton in the 1st and then drafting an OL here makes more sense.  Maybe a better strategy would be to draft to OLs, then get Lovett or Maason Smith at pick 158.

Either Verse or Turner can slip this far, but I think it's Turner.

1st:  JC Latham at the 5th pick??? OK, let's ignore Alabama's terrible record at developing OTs for the NFL in the past 10 years and super reach for the guy who is 5th OT, at best, on most boards.  This is the same guy as the last guy, who was the same guy as before.

I agree that ATL picks Latu as a "Win Now" guy.

KC is not in "develop a raw OT prospect mode" as they were in 2013.  They need to protect Mahomes, not get him killed while Kingsley learns to block.

@jtrapp1962 

Oh and "No," the Raiders ain't picking Penix.  O'Connell, a 4th round pick last year, was very good his last four games (8 TDs, 0 INTs, and 3 wins).  They also signed Minshew to a starter salary contract.  Maybe they draft Rattler later, but Penix in the 1st?  Why?  Did Al Davis dig himself out of his grave?  And if so, why isn't he drafting Xavier Worthy?

Agreed.  The MIN/NYG trade is not plausible.  The only reason for MIN to trade up would be to get above NYG, the only team above them who MIGHT draft a QB that high.

Dixon before Rakestraw and TJ Tampa (4th round????) is unlikely.

@Thom0909 I don't think anyone else is try to move up there.

Five teams NEED a QB:  Chicago, Washington, New England, Denver, and Minnesota...and New England could (should?) hold off and build their team.

The Raiders DO NOT need a QB this year.  They signed Minshew and liked what O'Connell did last year.

The Giants would like to get a new QB, but they are stuck with Jones for at least another year, and who knows, with some better blocking and receivers, he might not be nearly as bad.  They could probably wait a round or two and pick up Nix or Rattler.

Miami MAY trade Tua to Denver (a better fit) or Minnesota (less likely) for their pick, and then reach for Penix (but at least he's a better fit than Tua).  Without a trade, Miami is stuck forever at 10-7 or 11-6 at best.

@jtrapp1962 

Maybe they're trading to get in front of another team that was trying to move up. NYG gets offers from multiple teams.

@42yardline It may fall that way, but it will just further prove that the only difference between an average fan here and an NFL GM is connections.

Considering the numerous OT busts coming out of Alabama, I would avoid J.C. Latham.

It would be stupid for the Vikings to trade up with the Giants to draft McCarthy.  The Giants are the only team that is possibly interested in McCarthy.  If they are or if they believe the Vikings think they are, then there is no way they let go of that pick without bleeding the Vikings dry.

@Mr. Bitter 

I agree about Jones, but they aren't going to dig themselves out of that ridiculous contract with him.

Also, I think a good principle for GMs to follow is that if you think another team ahead of you in the draft will draft a player you really want, forget about trading with them and go to Plan B.  Doing so is the classic walking into a car dealership and screaming, "I have to have that blue Hyundai right now and I'm willing to pay anything for it!  Another customer MIGHT want it?  I'll pay double!"  The GM should calm the F down and know that there are other blue Hyundais.

@scaredmoney I don't think the Giants will draft him, so why pay a huge price?  They can just draft him at 11.  If not, there are plenty of bridge QBs out there for cheap.  Just build your team and get your QB later.

@thisnthatrepository To me, the most obvious difference between Jones and McCarthy is that Jones is an absolute jerk and McCarthy is not.  Rivals said that Jones had the worst attitude even back in H.S. at the camps, always screaming at his receivers and complaining about this and that.

@Mr. Bitter They have him at 35, going to the Cardinals.

No way Penix goes to the Steelers, and no way Coleman falls to 61st.   40 times are not as important as GPS times; this is 2024, not 2017.
