The Truth
Round 2
The most NFL-ready QB. If Geno Smith is replaced for any reason, Nussmeier should be able to come in and get the job done. He also has what it takes to be the Jets franchise QB.
34.
Although we haven't seen a ton of games played, there are not enough concrete reasons to critique this young man. He looks like a smooth, well put together individual who can make the throws that need to be made. He also has some play-making ability that presents upside potential. I think he should start on day one because I can't imagine Arizona being any more crazy than what Simpson experienced in Alabama last season.
Bisontis is projected to play G in the NFL. It would be great to see the Raiders draft an OT or another G like Gennings Dunker in later rounds.
Team allowed 5.3 yds/carry. This pick should be made whether Dexter Carter stays or not.
Better contrast to David Montgomery than Jahdarian Price, who may be selected near the top of round 3.
A way to make a good defense even better.
The Chiefs can't get back to where they used to be unless they bring some excitement to their defense.
Very aggressive when playing down. He would bring some welcome play-making ability to the defensive side of the ball in Cincinnati.
Brazzell playing opposite Olave would help to really enhance the offense. Brazzell is a high-point receiver that provides a good target in the red zone. He also uses his body well and could develop into a procession receiver anywhere on the field. The emergence of Tyler Shough at QB and incoming Travis Etienne at RB should provide for a new threat in the South.
Has good measurables. Played at a smaller program in Georgia St. Will develop better if he's not depended on as a go to receiver.
Denzel Boston's ability to attack the ball in the air is a good complement to the Jets' existing speed of Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell.
Good scheme fit and versatility as an edge option. Good speed and plays well in space.
46.
If C.J. Allen is still available here for the Bucs, it would be a pleasant surprise. He fits perfectly in Todd Bowles' defense. Fast, aggressive, and a good tackler. I wouldn't upset, if Tampa drafted C.J. Allen in the 1st round and settled for Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers in this spot. I think Stowers is the second best pass-catching TE in this draft behind Kenyon Sadiq. Since I have Sadiq going to Tampa with the 15th pick, this would be a strategic risk swap... hedging against the risk of C.J. Allen not being available at pick 46. Note: Trey Moore ran 4.54 at the combine as an Edge player. He also played some OLB at the second level and would be a good selection in later rounds.
The loss of Michael Pittman creates a void that needs to be filled if the Colts want to pick up where they left off when Daniel Jones was injured last season. Malachi Fields is a tad bit slower than Pittman, but Fields is a tad bit taller and can go up and get it.
A well-known and soon to be well-received play-maker that played at Georgia rival, Alabama. Given the vertical threats, the Falcons already have in Drake London and Kyle Pitts, Germie Bernard could add more dynamic crossing route and RPO concepts to the Falcons offense.
Imagine Kyler Murray, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jadarian Price on turf. Contrary to other mocks, I think Kevin O'Connell should draft offensive skill players with his first two picks. Time to crank it up and stop messing around.
Position need. Unlikely to move Jack Campbell at MLB, so I chose Kyle Louis over Jacob Rodriguez.
Position assistance. Akheem Mesidor was a tremendous player in college. Without a true 40-time or jumping measurements, I just don't know if the explosion we saw in college will translate to the NFL. It doesn't help that he was injured and played so long in college. Otherwise, I would have had him being drafted earlier.
Packers were good but not great at corner last season. Some have Chris Johnson being drafted in the first round.
Need to improve in terms of pass yards allowed.
Position assistance. Bud Clark has impressive measurables in terms of speed and jumping ability. He can help an already good pass defense be even better.
Position assistance. Javon Kilgore has impressive measurables in terms of speed and jumping ability. He can help an already good pass defense be even better.
With Travis Hunter expected to play more corner than receiver this season, Skyler Bell could step in and contribute to the offense. He's a quick receiver that contrasts with the size of Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.
If Chris Bell can recover from his injuries, he draws comparisons to A.J. Brown.
San Francisco was last in sacks last season. Malachi Lawrence should have had more production in college. Never had more than 7.5 sacks, despite impressive measurables. He's explosive off the line, but lacks the agility to finish plays at the QB. Overall, 6'4" 260lbs, 4.52, and 40 inch vert. will likely be drafted in the first two rounds. Lawrence is much faster than last year's pick, Mykel Williams.
Deion Burks is Dante Hall reborn. The Texans could really use some electricity like this in their dome. Uncertainty surrounds Tank Dell's injuries.
I don't know if Moore will be an every down player at edge. Either way, he's an electric player that will make plays. I have him ahead of T.J. Parker because his stats improved last season whereas Parker's stats descended. Cashius Howell mainly plays standing up. Tad bit more productive than Derrick Moore. Howell ran 4.59 at the combine. I'm giving Moore the tie-breaker over Howell because he played close to Chicago in college.
The Rams have players at every position including the league MVP at quarterback. Why not draft an athletic QB that no one would be prepared to defend. Sean McVay would be just the mad scientist for the job.
6'3" 4.34 smooth deep play makeability. They have enough possession receivers already.
Big weapon for Drake Maye. Patriots have a bunch of TE's on their roster, but none are Eli Stowers. He's a pass-catching TE that runs a 4.51 and jumps 45.5 inches. What!
The rich get richer. Seattle already has a solid defense, so why not draft a talented player that can give you a spark when you need one.
