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...

2020 NFL Player Rankings

NFL PLAYER RATINGS 2020 Every single year Madden comes out with player ratings and it puts everyone up in arms over how their individual guys are rated. You get people upset about their overall rating in the game, speed, cover ability, and everything in between. That said, the game and player’s overall abilities in the game are just simply not accurate enough. I decided that from now on, every year I’m going to build my own player ratings and list them out, giving ratings from 99 down. This isn’t a lifetime achievement award, or how good I think they’ll be in 3 years, this is for this season, without position importance just simply how good of a player each guy is period. End of story. Get ready to yell and disagree, but at least enjoy the reading. 99 - Patrick Mahomes, QB Kansas City This one is pretty damn obvious right? The guy has an MVP and.a Super Bowl and is only heading into year 4. I think he has a chance to be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game a...

2020 NFL Draft Player Profiles

1. Chase Young, DE Ohio State 99 I haven’t given 99s often in my career as an evaluator but this one was easy. This is the 9th draft board I’ve done from beginning to end and only the 3rd 99 grade I’ve ever given out, (Andrew Luck and Saquan Barkley were the other two). Young is an incredible player and an outstanding athlete who was the best player in the nation this season. As impressive as Nick Boss was as a rookie in 2019, Young was clearly the better player in college and the better pro prospect. Young averaged more than a sack a game over the past two seasons, and his explosive get off, power, and elite technique lead me to projecting him as a double digit sack artist as early as his rookie year.  What makes Young such an elite prospect isn’t just his innate ability to get after the quarterback in whatever way he wants, its that he can create havoc in the run game as well. His speed and ability to close from the back side is in the top tier, and therefore he’s th...
