“The Big Dog” Mitch Vosburg
Somebody pinch me, as a result of I shouldn’t be this completely satisfied.
It’s draft day child!
After months of analysis, deciding whether or not to purchase or promote on rumors and try to see by smokescreens set by all 32 NFL groups, I feel I’ve an concept on how tonight’s NFL Draft will go.
Here’s ‘The Big Dog’s’ 2024 NFL Mock Draft 3.0:
1. Chicago Bears (From Carolina Panthers: Caleb Williams, QB, USC –We’ve identified this since Justin Fields was shipped off to Pittsburgh.
2. Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU –The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner enters Washington with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and an underrated group of receivers and operating backs.
3. New England Patriots: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina –The Patriots maintain the No. 3 choose and choose their quarterback to develop. He wants time, and so does New England, which weirdly makes this an ideal match.
4. Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr.. WR, Ohio State –In my Mock Draft 1.0 I discussed how MHJ was the one man on this class that has the most effective likelihood of ending up in Canton. I nonetheless consider that, and Arizona realizes that every one of King Midas’ gold couldn’t budge it to commerce No. 4.
5. TRADE Minnesota Vikings (From Los Angeles Chargers): J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan –It’s both Brock Bowers or this for the Chargers, who get picks No. 11 and 23 this yr plus 2025’s first and third rounders.
McCarthy stands out due to his willingness to do something to win. We’ll see how truthful that actually is in a couple of years. 6. New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU –Sure, they may go Michael Penix Jr. right here, however the want for receiver, particularly in 2024, is much larger for the New York soccer Giants. Not to say Nabers is true up there expertise clever with MHJ.
7. Tennessee Titans: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama –My Mom and Step Dad are Titans season ticket holders, so I attempt to pull for Tennessee once I can. The Titans have lacked that top-notch edge rusher since Jevon Kearse. With this yr’s offensive sort out as deep as it’s the Titans can discover a beginning left sort out in spherical 2, however they received’t discover an EDGE like Turner within the second.
8. TRADE Buffalo Bills (from) Atlanta Falcons: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington –The worst stored secret on this draft is the Bills’ want to commerce up for a receiver. Odunze is the final of the three tier 1 receivers. Buffalo already has a stable receiving corps, however this places them excessive.
9. TRADE Indianapolis Colts (from Chicago Bears): Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia –With Michael Pittman Jr. prolonged for the foreseeable future, the time is now for Indy so as to add one other cross catcher and redzone goal. The Colts have lacked a premiere tight finish since Dallas Clark. The potentialities for Shane Steichen’s offense grow to be infinite with a participant of Bowers’ caliber on the roster.
Also, the Bears personal picks No. 1, 9, 75 and 122. There are holes to fill within the trenches. Chicago must commerce down right here.
10. New York Jets: Joe Alt, LT, Notre Dame –The Jets must be accountable right here, as a result of their offensive line in 2023 left a LOT to be desired. Adding Tyron Smith helps brief time period, however Alt is the ling-term play.
11. Los Angeles Chargers (from Minnesota Vikings): Tyler Fuaga, RT, Oregon State
12. TRADE: Philadelphia Eagles (from Denver Broncos): Amarius Mims, RT, Georgia –Denver wants draft capital badly. Philly has a gap to fill at proper sort out within the close to future. It’s a win-win.
13. Las Vegas Raiders: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
14. New Orleans Saints: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, LT, Penn State
15. Chicago Bears (from Indianapolis Colts): Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
16. Seattle Seahawks: Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington
17. TRADE Pittsburgh Steelers (from Jacksonville Jaguars): JC Latham, RT, Alabama
18. Cincinnati Bengals: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
19. Los Angeles Rams: Darius Robinson, EDGE, Missouri
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from Pittsburgh Steelers): Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
21. Miami Dolphins: Troy Fautanu, OL, Washington
22. Denver Broncos (from Philadelphia Eagles): Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
23. Los Angeles Chargers (from Minnesota through Houston through Cleveland): Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
24. TRADE Detroit Lions (from Dallas Cowboys): Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa –General supervisor Brad Holmes has crammed a number of holes with premiere expertise. Except for cornerback.
DeJean is probably the most explosive defensive again on this class. His crimson flag is that he’s coming off a leg damage.
The Lions lastly add their main playmaker at nook in DeJean
25. Green Bay Packers: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State — The Packers lose out in DeJean by one choose. But it opens the door so as to add to the cross rush. Preston Smith is within the ultimate yr of his contract. Lukas Van Ness can slide inside in nickel and dime packages, so who fills Smith’s place sooner or later?
It’s a person named Chop. His first step off the road is insane. He is explosive past perception. He’s the explanation why Michigan threw the ball a complete of seven instances against Penn State this season. They flat out couldn’t block him within the first half.
With one yr of rotating in and taking Smith’s function long run, the Packers received’t have any drawback getting strain on opposing quarterbacks.
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
27. Arizona Cardinals (from Houston Texans): Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
28. Atlanta Falcons (from Buffalo Bills): Graham Barton, OL, Duke
29. Dallas Cowboys (from Detroit Lions): Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
30. Baltimore Ravens: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State
31. TRADE New York Giants (from San Francisco 49ers): Bo Nix, QB, Oregon — Just like that, now we have six first-round quarterbacks. But for the Giants, it is a win. You walked away with an correct, cell quarterback and a large receiver that was arguably the most effective of the bunch on evening one.
While the offensive line nonetheless wants work, the Giants crammed holes. And that in itself is a step ahead.
32. Kansas City Chiefs: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon –I’ve had this in my Mock Draft 1.0 and a couple of.0. This stays a lock in 3.0 as a result of I’m that assured with it.
