day 2 picks i don't like



Some picks I didn’t like
1. Mitch Morse – OL Kansas City. There are players I just couldn’t get enough film on to give them an adequate draft grade, and that’s why they aren’t on my board. However, those guys are clearly draftable players like Eric Rowe or Tyler Kroft. Mitch Morse I had plenty of film on and still didn’t give him a grade. He went in the second round. Not a good selection.

2. Jake Fisher – OT Cincinnati. It’s not that I don’t like the player, he’s a good player. However, now the team has four tackles on the team and still they don’t have anyone who can rush the passer. I don’t get that. I understand some teams go with the best player available mantra, but you can’t have four tackles on your roster and have your top two picks sit and watch.

3. Rob Havenstein – RT St Louis. I love that they wanted to go get a right tackle, I just wouldn’t have gotten one who can bend his knees. I think Havenstein was a fifth round grade and  the Rams took him at the end of the second.

4. Frank Clark – DE Seattle. This is the typical Seahawks early pick. They take someone they could have gotten two or three rounds later because they like the scheme fit. I think it was a massive reach.

5. Jordan Richards – SS New England. They took the kid two to three rounds too early. He’s likely going to be a special teams player in the league and you took him in the second round, just a gigantic reach.

6. Chaz Green – OT Dallas. Why? I loved your first two picks I just don’t get why you go get a swing tackle in round three. You still have many other needs, just a weird pick.

7. Jacquiski Tartt – S San Francisco. I really love the player but you have two elite safeties including your team MVP at strong safety, the same spot Tartt would play. I just don’t see why you would do that in the second round.

8. Quentin Rollins and Ty Montgomery – Green Bay. I think Ted Thompson took this draft off. I like Rollins and Montgomery but these are NOT positions of need or really of any desire at all, I just don’t see how these guys see the field. I’m super confused.

Two picks I don’t hate but I don’t love.

9. T.J. Yeldon, RB Jacksonville – I don’t hate the pick I just think it was a pretty rich selection for him. I really think he would have been a better value in the middle to end of the third round.

10. Sammie Coates, WR Pittsburgh -  I think he’s a good risk in the end of the third round but the team already has two burners outside, seems like the definition of a luxury pick.

2024 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT BIOS

  2024 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT BIOS  Extra notes I put in italics. Some of these are from Senior Bowl or Combine notes that may have caused an update, and some are from watching extra tape later on in the Pre-Draft Process and I didn’t want to type everything up again.  Blue are guys I’m higher on by at least one round and usually 2 or 3 rds than consensus. Marvin Harrison Jr, WR Ohio State 99 I’m not trying to be contrarian here by putting Harrison Jr first ahead of Williams and Maye. The thing is my ratings are not positioned based when I do Bios and Harrison is the 2nd best prospect I’ve ever scouted (behind only Andrew Luck) so he has to get this rating. Harrison Jr is going to walk into the NFL and be a top 10 WR immediately. He has perfect size at 6’4 and 215 pounds and yet is a truly elite route runner. He creates separation and can get in and out of breaks like someone 6 inches shorter. His acceleration and ability to leave defenders looking lost is a rare trait. On to...

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.
