Jacksonville Jaguars select Byron Murphy II, IDL, Texas The most efficient interior pass rusher in college football last year. Same win rate as Dallas Turner. I had been on the Johnny Newton DT1 train for a while but Murphy is the better athlete and pass rusher and is more likely to be Baalke's guy in the end.
Cincinnati Bengals select Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia The quest to protect Joe Burrow continues. Mims has arguably the 2nd highest upside in the OL class. He is an absolute fucking unit. Lean, mean, and unlike recent draft busts of similar size, actually possess the agility necessary to play tackle in the NFL.
Los Angeles Rams select Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa A swiss army knife type of DB that the Rams desperately need. He excels both outside and in the slot and is a solid tackler. Couple different directions I could've gone here but upon seeing Tre Tomlinson at CB2 for the Rams, I decided I should probably make sure that doesn't happen. @JRShoenberger steelers
I think that's very possible tbh. I know he tested and measured well but I still think I prefer him at guard tbh
I do too. He is so similar to Alijah Vera-Tucker. JD values versatility over a true position. Ideally, he can move back a few spots and still get Fautanu. It'll be tough for him to pass on Fuaga and Fashanu at 10.
Pittsburgh selects JC Latham, OT, Alabama Steelers are in a position where they need a RT after taking Broderick Jones last year and we want to kick him over the left this year. JC Latham is a fantastic RT prospect and Pittsburgh doesn't have to try to change him to the left. @xbrokendownx Dolphins pick
With the 21st pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Jackson Powers-Johnson, OC, Oregon Miami is in desperate need of help along the interior of the offensive line. Connor Williams was tremendous in 2023, but suffered a torn ACL at the end of the season and is also a free agent. JPJ will help solidify the IOL for Miami for the near future and can grow with Tua in this offense. It doesn't hurt his family grew up Dolphins fans!
The Philadelphia Eagles select Terrion Arnold, Cornerback, Alabama The Eagles are in need of youth and help at corner, both on the outside to replace James Bradberry and in the slot to replace Avonte Maddox. With Arnold, they are preparing for life on the outside without Bradberry (and eventually Darius Slay). I think Arnold would be a slam dunk pick for the Eagles and I’d be thrilled with the pick
