day 2 picks i loved

10 picks I loved
1. Randy Gregory, OLB Dallas            - I understand the kid has off the field issues galore. But the kid is arguably the best pure pass rusher in this draft class. Dallas was in desperate need of help off the edge and the kid could be a double digit sack guy in the league, and those guys don’t fall off trees. With the 60th pick, the risk was more than worth the selection. 

2. Jaelen Strong, WR Houston – I would have pulled the trigger on Strong at 16th overall. The kid was the fourth wide receiver on my board and to get him with the 70th pick in the draft was the epitome of a draft steal. He could get you 80 catches per season out of the third round.

3. Landon Collins, SS New York Giants – He was clearly the best player left on the board to begin day 2 and the Giants made the move to make it happen. The guy is going to be a really good player in the league, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up making 100 tackles a season. High floor pick.

4. Maxx Williams, TE Baltimore – The team needed weapons for Flacco and they went out and got an exceptional player in round two. He can block and he is a really good athlete who catches everything in the passing game. Excellent value from Ozzie.

5. Lorenzo Mauldin, OLB New York Jets – The Jets defense is going to be scary good and they added a versatile athletic guy on the outside. The kid should have gone 20-30 picks earlier and they got a good one with their third round pick.

6. David Johnson – RB Arizona – He was the third ranked running back on my board as he has exceptional pass game skills. Adding him to Ellington gives that team a really nice one-two punch and I think he could end up being a 1000 yard rusher and a 500 yard per season receiver.

7. Eli Harold – OLB San Francisco – There wasn’t a gigantic need here but you can never have too many good pass rushers. Harold should have been off the board way before the 49ers picked him with the 79th pick. The kid was a borderline first rounder, you just have to pull the trigger when he’s there 40-50 picks later.

8. Tyler Lockett – WR Seattle – Really good schematic fit who can do a lot of what Seattle wanted Percy Harvin to do but for a third round rate. He’s a tough undersized kid who can work the slot but also run that interior seam route. Plus he’s an elite return man and special teams player. 

9. Clive Warford, TE Oakland – He’s a really good player in both the run and pass game. Warford can make people move and he’s deadly when you get him in a one on one situation as a pass catcher. I compared him to a poor man’s Jason Witten. The Raiders have had a solid first two days.

10. Carl Davis, DT Baltimore – What do you know Ozzie has another good draft pick. Davis has some serious and real motor questions, but late in the third round it’s not a bad risk at all. The kid has borderline first round talent so to get him at the end of round three is just simply a terrific risk/reward selection.

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...

2021 NFL Draft Prospect Write Ups

  2021 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT WRITE UPS Trevor Lawrence, QB Clemson 99 Lawrence is the best quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck and he’s only the second quarterback I’ve ever given the elusive 99 rating. Lawrence has only lost two games his entire career at Clemson as the starter there and has been nothing short of incredible. He has great size at 6’6 and around 225 pounds with plus movement skills. When he scrambles his long strides pick up yards in chunks. He has a big time arm that can show equal parts touch and howitzer depending on the situation. Lawrence throws a beautiful deep ball as well and has exceptional pocket awareness. Ultimately he’s someone who if you give him the pieces can be one of the best at his position in the NFL and potentially of all time. He has that type of ability. What makes Lawrence so incredible is that he can create big plays without taking unnecessary risks. He has 90 touchdowns with just 17 interceptions in his career and added on 18 touchdowns on ...

2014 overall grades

1.           Jadeveon Clowney, DE South Carolina 98 Some people may ask about his productivity or his work ethic but no one can question his talent. The former number one high school player in the country is now the number one draft prospect. He has a completely unique skill set at his size running a 4.5 40 with an 82 inch wingspan. He has a rare speed to power move that can absolutely dominate blockers. He has more much more speed than Mario Williams and more size than Dwight Freeney. A complete freak that can’t be stopped by double teams, he could be the best defensive player in the league within a year or two. 2.        Greg Robinson, OT Auburn 98 People who are 332 pounds should not run 4.8 40’s. As much as Clowney is a physical anomaly so too is Robinson. He is one of the most dominating players at the point of attack that I’ve ever watched, and I’m not just talking about college players. He is a bit raw in h...
