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.

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.
