My Heisman vote

1. Ndamokong Suh DT - Nebraska. This award goes to the best player in college football, not to the MVP, not to the one who the voters know about, it's supposed to go to THE BEST PLAYER in college football. There isn't a better player than Suh. He dominates the game more than any other person in the nation and should be the top pick in the NFL draft. Without Suh Nebraska might not even make a bowl game, so if you wanna go MVP Suh's there too.

2. Toby Gerhart RB - Stanford. People on the east coast where most of the votes go will vote for Mark Ingram over Gerhart, but if you look at numbers, Gerhart has better numbers by far than Ingram. Gerhart beat USC and Oregon with tough games, consistent games. The most consistently high performer in the country, Gerhart should be on everyone's list.

3. C.J. Spiller RB - Clemson. A human highlight reel. The guy does almost everything on a football field. He's a top 5 returner and running back, can catch passes and make blocks. The guy is an absolute stud and has the numbers to back up this spot on my list.

4. Josh Nesbitt QB - Georgia Tech. Unsung hero on a BCS team, every single yard this team gets goes through Nesbitt. He throws, runs, and makes every read in that triple option attack. He gets in the endzone and moves the chains. GT has the fewest three and outs in the nation and a large part of that is because of Nesbitt.

5. Mark Ingram RB - Alabama. He's a tough runner and was the focal point the entire season on the best team in the country. Ingram is a great player and does a little bit of everything, but his bread and butter is pounding the rock inside. The guy deserves a ton of praise, and will probably actually win the award, but he's only number 5 on my list.


GUYS LEFT OFF:

Tim Tebow - he simply wasn't that good this season. If people think he will be a good quarterback in the NFL they are badly mistaken. He is a good gimmick qb, but he's not a good thrower and gets most of his passing yards on shovel passes, flat swings, and bubbles. Simply doesn't deserve a vote.

Colt McCoy - he started the year slowly and the Nebraska game was embarrassing. He should have won the award last year, but in my opinion doesn't even get a vote from me. He played well, but if i was going to pick someone off of that team for the Heisman it would be Jordan Shipley and not Colt McCoy.

Case Keenum - He's a system quarterback. Yeah he put up good numbers, but his team lost 3 games and he simply didn't do enough. I know Nesbitt is a system quarterback too, but Nesbitt does EVERYTHING for his team, and GT is going to a BCS game.

Kellen Moore - He deserves a look, his TD/INT is remarkable, but Boise State does quite a bit without Moore through running the rock. Also Moore played against poor competition and when he did play a good team in Oregon, he put up pedestrian numbers. He'd be sixth on my ballot though.

Any thoughts?

mock 4.0 senior bowl week mock

 This is what I think will happen with a twist - I'm going to mock all 32 teams and give all at least one draft pick, but I'm ALSO going to give them a free agent I THINK they should sign. So this exercise is a mock on what I think will happen for the draft and what I think the team SHOULD do for the free agent. Feels like it's something different and hey we've got 6 weeks til Free Agency so this will give everyone something to read. This also doesn't include any free agents I think they should re-sign.  Effective Cap Space: the cap space a team will have after signing at least 51 players and its projected rookie class to its roster. 1. Chicago Bears - QB Caleb Williams, USC I think the Bears ultimately trade Justin Fields to someone, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Denver, and pull the trigger with Williams who is one of only a handful of 99 players who have ever come out. If he doesn't give you Patrick Mahomes vibes I can't help you. Bears "Effective" Cap Sp

MOCK 3.0 What I THINK will happen

 Man even looking back at my mocks from 2 months ago, things change so fast in this cycle. Players get hurt, teams go on runs, players develop or fall off. It's amazing what can happen and both how long and how short a football season is. This is not what I would do, but what I think will happen. I play in an ultra competitive team building madden league and I don't want my compatriots to know what I'm thinking or where I'm grading players anymore because now it's getting serious. So here we go. My first real shot at a mock now that the first 18 teams orders' are locked in. 1. Chicago Bears - QB Caleb Williams, USC Look, Justin Fields shows flashes of absolute brilliance. He really does, but his pocket awareness and ability to scan down field is well below average and he simply is not a very productive NFL passer at this point. Plus, Fields was not drafted by this regime - Fields will likely fetch a day 2 pick, which is valuable and you can start building around

TOTAL VALUE ADDED 2024 NFL DRAFT

 This isn't an article saying what team did the best based on their draft slot or anything like that. This is simply a points chart. I listed 200 players on my overall player rating board and put them up on a list and used the Spielberger draft chart to assign a point value to every slot. Based on my chart mixed with his value chart I came up with a points value chart for every single team in the NFL for the 2024 draft. We'll look back at this every year after 3 seasons to see how bad I was.
