2024 NFL Mock Draft 2.0: Please Come Home, Beard • Page 4

@CarpetElf

Vikings up

 

damn I got Verse at 21 in the last mock

 

He’s all over the boards. I’ve seen him in the single digits, I’ve seen him in the 20s.

This site made the argument that sold me on Vearse over DeJean

Why Jared Verse should be on the Chicago Bears’ radar with No. 9 overall pick

Minnesota Vikings select Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama

In this fake scenario, Kirk Cousins remains a Viking therefore their first-rounder absolutely has to address the sorry state of their defense. Turner is an athletic freak but what stands out to me is how patient and smart he can be for an edge rusher. Brian Flores gets a fun new toy to anchor his aggressive defense.

 

@Texas Flood Broncos

 

The Denver Broncos select: JJ McCarthy, QB, Michigan



It's no secret Denver needs a QB whether in FA or the draft(or both). I still think they bring in someone like Jameis Winston but they need to look long term. JJ is an interesting prospect that has the talent but alot of questions too. This is a gamble no doubt about it, but the Broncos need to find their franchise QB sooner rather than later.

 

@whitenblue88 Da Raiders

 

Bro, you were supposed to keep it a secret

 

I tried brother

 

I still think Nix would probably be Sean Paytons choice but George Paton sucks and will take the hotter name.

 

Raiders select Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State

They’ll probably have a better idea of draft needs after FA, but as of now, they only have 2 starting OL under contract, which seems bad

 

@EntryLevelTank aints

 

The Saints select Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA

The EDGE Run continues! Latu has the size the Saints tend to go after and NEED a pass rusher. Cameron Jordan is on the decline and doesn't really feel like a 3 down player anymore. So injecting some youth into a pass rushing group that was towards the bottom of the league feels like the move.

 

@whitenblue88 - colts up

 

It also feels like EDGE is one of the more top-heavy position groups in this draft. Is that your impression too @Night Channels?

 

I love watching Latu play. He and Dallas Turner are my favorites.

 

It's a really weak group after the top three prospects are off the board.

Turner, Latu, and Verse

Chop Robinson has some elite traits but he isn't in the same tier.

 

Where you do place Booker

 

I see the guys in "tier 2" and am like HARD pass

 

That was kinda what I figured when I snagged Latu. If I need to leave the draft with a new EDGE it has to be one of those three.

 

Jags looking to trade down

 

Colts select Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

With the board the way it is (every corner + the entire second wave of WRs, but no major drops), trade down would be my preference, but I’m too lazy to do that in a mock so I’ll take Quinyon as my current pick for best CB fit for IND

 

Seahawks select Troy Fautanu, OT/OG, Washington

Seahawks have bookends on the OL in Cross and Lucas, but nothing under contract in between them. I think Fautanu can play tackle at the next level, but out of necessity, we shift him inside and assemble 3/5 of a very good OL
