AI GeneratedThe speaker evaluates Jordan Reed's 2027 NFL mock draft, analyzing the first 32 picks using a \"hit, miss, or meh\" system. The review focuses on player traits, schematic fit, and draft value, highlighting standout quarterback and receiver prospects while critiquing several offensive line selections for lacking consistency or proper physical measurements.
Jordan Reed just dropped a brand new 2027 NFL mock draft and I am here to review it.
If you guys are new, feel free to like, comment, and subscribe.
Let's get right into this because Jordan Reed is a friend of the show
and we were supposed to have a mock draft and I saw this and was like,
can't miss opportunity. But let's get right into this with the number one overall pick because
it is a trade up. The Browns have moved to the number one spot.
This is obviously a really big amount of draft capital in order to go and get this position.
Very intriguing. I want to hear your guys' thoughts. Very expensive. Number four, 32,
a 2027 fourth round pick as well as a 2028 second round pick to move up to one.
Honestly, this is relatively similar to the amount of draft capital I used to move up to two,
but it's still a pretty hefty fine to say the least. I really do like it. Nonetheless,
for the Browns, they need to be aggressive. They've been pretty complacent for a while and
the last time they had some legit promise at quarterback was when they had the number one pick
and they got to select their quarterback. Granted, Baker's career arc versus some of the other
options has not been as ideal, but you know, it is what it is. If we were to go check out
Kalshi for the first overall pick odds, we look at the Cleveland Browns and they have a 9% chance.
That's honestly really great to me because when you end up putting $25 on this position,
you net 168 in return with the Sean Watson situation going on with this team already
having that extra first round pick to move up to one. I think this is a very wise investment.
And if you guys do want to have some fun here, feel free to use the code HMS or the link in the
description. It will give you the $25 that you end up putting down in trading on this as soon
as you trade. So $25 trade, $25 instantly in your account. So make sure you take advantage
of that promo. But as you can see, it's not super complicated. Another reason I love Kalshi,
yes or no. And on top of it, you're looking at peer-to-peer trading. This is what people's
opinions are, not a sports house or sports books house like you traditionally see. So big fan of
that. Go check it out for yourself. But we do end up seeing that the Cleveland Browns have selected
Dante Moore via the trade-up. While I end up, and we are also talking about hit, miss or meh,
forgot to mention that. It is a way of you guys hearing exactly what I think without necessarily
being able to have to wait for it. So with number one pick as the Cleveland Browns go Dante Moore
quarterback out of Oregon, I'm going to give this one a hit. I think it's expensive, but it's a
great, great fit. You're not asking for somebody to elevate the offense on the roster. You just
need to be damn solid that everything else will end up working well. And that's exactly what
Dante Moore brings is a lot of experience, a really good floor and event. Essentially,
he is a better version of Shadur Sanders. I mean, if you're, if you're really wanting a very
simplistic comp, that is what Dante Moore is. Do I think you need to trade up to one to get him?
No. If you're at one, do I think you should go Arch Manning? Yes. I have the same grade on both.
I like Drew Mestermaker more, but I think that for an organization like the Browns,
if you have the option between Moore, Manning and Mestermaker, Mestermaker would be third on
that list because I just want guaranteed production, not swinging for the fences and
getting a Drake May archetype. So still a hit there. Nonetheless, I think that he is a very
good quarterback. It's just very expensive to use all that draft capital move up and then select
the, uh, lower ceiling at that position. And number two, we have the Cardinals going after
Arch Manning quarterback out of Texas. Um, to me, this is a hit. Arch Manning will provide a
different archetype of quarterback, which is a little bit better frame. Um, you know, it is,
I mean, in some intenses and purposes, it's very similar to Beck, but I would say that there's
just aspects to Arch's game, like the big time throws that are just not replicated by Carson
Beck's current build and current standpoint as a quarterback. Uh, but again, Arch Manning,
really good option. You look at the organizations, they also care about the business side of things.
So it is a hit nonetheless, and the Cardinals do need something in terms of some positive momentum.
Personally, I would consider offensive tackle here as well. Number three, the jets go after
CJ Carr quarterback out of Notre Dame. This is the one that I saw circulating. This one is a
mess. I think that CJ Carr is a little too inconsistent right now to be able to be justified
as a number three pick. Do I think it's off the board? Absolute or off the table? I should say,
absolutely not. CJ Carr is a very good quarterback. The problem is, and you guys can
see us through the analytics, his accuracy is very different from the right side of the field
to the middle of the field to the left side of the field. It's just, it's a completely different
game when you're watching how he plays the game of football based on where he is rotating. And
we'd hope that with more experience, you'd end up seeing in a little bit more, you know,
consistency without two round one running backs that we'll end up getting a hint as to whether
he can end up developing more as a quarterback in the more polished parts of the game. Apparently,
kind of Todd McShay's Manning Passing Academy winner for MVP. So there's a lot of hope here.
Is this off the table? Absolutely not. The jets have an awesome offensive line. They have a
really balanced receiving room. They have a really good running back under contract.
CJ Carr would be a great fit here. It's just too much inconsistency for such a young prospect for
me to put him up here at three. Continuing on, the Dolphins at number four selected Jeremiah
Smith, wide receiver out of The Ohio State University. This is an absolute hit. I like
to trade down with the Dolphins when they're usually at number two down to number four.
And this is exactly what I do. It would be nicer if they had a first round pick as part of their
compensation to move down, but they don't. They still end up getting a building block here that
I think would be excellent. I'm very happy that Jordan did not end up selecting a QB here at
number four for a team that just is not in a position to just jump the gun for a QB when
there are other options available. Let's continue on to number five, the Las Vegas Raiders select
Cam Coleman, wide receiver out of Texas. This is absolutely a hit. Cam Coleman is a phenomenal wide
receiver. Very well balanced. The Raiders don't need someone who's a little bit more role
specific like Jeremiah Smith, who's going to be more of the generational one for, you know, being
what DK Metcalf, you dream him to be. Xavier Lee get kind of the vision for what people hoped he
would ever be. But this is just a really well-rounded receiver in Cam Coleman that
is going to not necessarily have that same ceiling for the Raiders. And especially in a
Kubiak system, you don't need to have the sky as the limit for talent. You really just should be a
very polished all around receiver. I think Cam Cole would be a superstar here in Las Vegas.
We go on to number six, we have the Titans going Dylan Stewart,
edge rusher out of South Carolina. This one is going to be a hit. Dylan Stewart is an absolute
animal. I think more people would be happy with an offensive lineman here, including myself,
or being able to go after Leonard Moore here because of the woes in the defense,
starting defensive capabilities for, especially for the secondary as well.
And I think those would be bigger hits, but I think we lose sight of when we don't get exactly
who we want, not appreciating the pick for what it is. And Dylan Stewart is an absolute alien.
I don't think getting an upgraded pass rush with Salah, being able to use him from wide
nine with certain formations is ever a bad idea. Like you could have top five edge rusher in the
NFL. I know you want other positions, including myself, but to say this is anything but a hit,
I feel would be a little bit intellectually dishonest. Number seven, we have the Panthers
going at Leonard Moore, corner out of Notre Dame. Leonard Moore is awesome. This is a hit.
You can talk about a QB here because I think Drew Mastermaker would be an excellent choice,
and I assume he's probably in this mock draft. However, I just believe that if you're not going
to go the QB route, Leonard Moore is the dream pick for the Panthers. Again, I do see a quarterback
here that is on Miami that could end up being probably a better hit, but it's hard to say no
when my number one player is lurking there at number seven. Number eight, we have the Saints
going Colin Simmons, edge rusher out of Texas. Big fan of this. This is a hit. We'll see what
happens with the Saints edge core, but you just can't ignore 21 sacks in two years and being a
really solid foundational frame. The dream is just to have really good, high tier,
trustworthy production from their edge too, and that's exactly what this is. So, really big fan
there of Colin Simmons, especially to Brandon Staley's defense to give him a helping hand.
Number nine, we have the Giants going Will Echols defensive interior out of Ole Miss.
I think this is a mess. I ended up mentioning this as well. I think the Jets ended up doing
a pick of Will Echols, I think, at number 11 in a more recent mock draft. I think Will Echols
a little too inconsistent at this moment to have him be this high tier or this high of a pick,
I should say. I understand the ceiling there, and then that's why, especially in preseason,
you're trying to project where these guys are going to go, but I just don't really trust
Ole Miss to develop their guys to that degree, and that might be a little bit crazy to say,
but there's just a lot of internal turmoil. I'm not 100% sure how much focus there necessarily
is compared to just a more tenured franchise or a more tenured school, I should say,
and that's not my reasoning why, but it's just like, it's an ancillary reason. It's an extra
reasoning, but I would say Will Echols is just too inconsistent for me to put him up here at
number nine. I do like the position, just not the player. Number 10, we have the Commanders going
Charlie Becker, wide receiver out of Indiana, and this one, because a lot of people like go Nick
Marsh, this one is a hit. I am not overly high on Charlie Becker, but in the right situation,
he is my wide receiver three in the class, so it makes sense he could go at number three.
The Commanders getting a red zone possession style receiver who is unbelievably reliable,
not a liability in other categories, but in this case, just so much more of a hands type of
receiver that there's something of benefit there, and it is a role that's open for the Commanders,
and he's a boundary receiver. With guys like Nick Marsh, where I want him playing the slot,
there's some really good talent there right now, and so I just personally think this works really
well with the long-term vision. Is it as high as I have Charlie Becker? No, but this is the
role that makes him my wide receiver three in the best spot, and on top of that, it ends up working
out really well for the Commanders because I think the fit is phenomenal. At number 11, the Falcons
go Trevor Goosby, tackle out of Texas. This is an absolute hit. I've done this myself. I think that
the right tackle spot is 100% priority one need. The quarterback is also one, and at 11, you're
starting to be able to take someone like Drew Mestemaker again. This is a live reaction. I
haven't seen him in this mock draft, but Goosby has experience in the right tackle spot. I would
prefer to just drop a QB into a completed offensive line, but it also is pretty difficult to make that
happen efficiently. If you're going to drop in quality on the quarterback, it better be for a
good reason. Luckily, Goosby is that type of reason, but it also some teams like the Browns can
solidify a lot of aspects of their team and just never hit on that QB spot. It's a very interesting
philosophy because you can end up going both ways, which is why it's such a good debate.
Regardless, number 12, the Jets go Ellis Robinson, corner out of Georgia. This is a hit.
I love this so much. I saw a mock draft with Ashton Hampton at number 12, and I mentioned
that I would love Ellis Robinson instead. His play style is very similar to D'Angelo Pons,
where the size is smaller, but the play style is heavier. It's honestly just what you want in a
corner. You don't need to have the weight in order to be big. It is the physical presence you bring
and I think Ellis Robinson is an absolute superstar. Great fit. I really do like the
fact that he's also a true boundary type of corner to where you don't have to be
stepping on toes with all these really good, smaller defensive backs that the Jets have.
At number 13, the Vikings go trade as green, a tight end out of LSU. I think this is a
I like the position. I don't like the player. Now, a lot of people love trade as green,
and I will be one of those to say, I'm not on board yet. I see the vision. I mean,
six, seven, two 40 built like a receiver monster contested catch threat. Like there's value to that,
but are we like kind of forgetting about everything else that a tight end does? Like
Colson Loveland came in as the receiving tight end compared to the well-rounded Tyler Warren
in their respective draft, but it's not like Colson Loveland couldn't block.
And you look at this past draft, it's Eli Stowers, right? You started thinking about it. It's a
receiving tight end that doesn't really have a strong blocking acumen and doesn't feel comfortable
on the line of scrimmage. That's what trade as green reminds me of. But if you do end up swapping
is for Jamari Johnson. I think it makes a lot more sense, especially when you're trying to
replace TJ Hawkinson instead. So it's tight end or it's quarterback. I definitely like that. And
Titan's not that good this year. So I could perfectly understand why you go it here,
especially when the Vikings haven't drafted very well. So I understand it just not the player I'd
choose. The Steelers at 14 go Tate Johnson defensive back out of Notre Dame. This is going
to be a hit. Tate Johnson is a top 10 player in the class for us getting a long-term answer rather
than the stop gap. Strong safeties makes a ton of sense for the long vision of the team. You also
see Jalen Ramsey transitions that probably free safety full-time. Um, you know, you just,
you can imagine that defensively as he continues to slow down, he's going to end up trying to make
full-time moves there and stuff. And yeah, I mean, Tate Johnson, Jalen Ramsey secondary at,
at the top, pretty damn good balance as well. So, you know, I do like it. It's not a very crazy
pick, but it's a very good pick. So we go to number 15. We have the Jets going David Stone,
defensive interior out of Oklahoma. This is an absolute hit. The Jets are killing it. This draft
CJ Carr, David Stone, and Ellis Robinson. I'm perfectly fine. If that's the outcome and David
Stone, ridiculous ceiling, he's going to probably have close to 35 inch arms. He'll be that guy who
gets another late bump of just because of the fact that he's just a really good player that
ends up measuring out phenomenally well. So I think this is a great building block for a
young team that has a very, very bright future in the Jets. A lot of people want to sleep on the
Jets. I mean, unless they don't get a good coaching staff, I think that you should be
very much on the buy for the Jets, not sell. Number 16, we got the Bears going Jordan Seton,
left tackle at LSU. It is a hit. And the only reason why, because I love Ozzie Trapillo.
I love Darnell Wright. Both were true tackle ones in their respective drafts. So yeah, that sounds
crazy, but to be fair, true tackle one versus offensive lineman one tackle guard hybrid one.
There's differences there, but Trapillo, we'll see what happens with him returning from that
patellar tendon tear. I think that it's just too good when you have a number one to number two
overall pick type of left tackle that's sitting here at 16, you end up trading away the lesser
option and then you upgrade. That's just the way it is. And if Trapillo really looks as good as he
was pre patellar tendon tear in such a weak offensive tackle class, you could either maybe
package it with a third round or just get a first round pick straight up at the end.
Like it's probably a late first round. You're telling me that the San Francisco 49ers after
everything that's gone on wouldn't end up sending a second or a first round pick for this guy.
I think that'd be crazy. And we've already gotten a second round pick when he wasn't proven.
So first round pick is very reasonable. So I do really like that there. Because again,
when you do have the ability and the luxury of upgrading left tackle, you do it. And then you
end up blessing somebody else and someone else can bless you with an extra round first round pick.
Number 17 to get the Jaguars going on Maury Washington defensive interior out of Oregon.
This is a hit. You guys did a very good job correcting me because I ended up switching
the trade. I was like, wait, they traded for Mason Smith. No, no, they traded Mason Smith away
for Rupert Roro. So looking at the archetype of defensive interiors, there's not really a project
for Rika build defensive interior to build around and getting interior interior pressure is very
valuable. And Amari Washington would a hundred percent add to that. So I'm a fan. Um, you know,
I did some good checking. I always say, be a dick, don't be a dick about it.
That's the best part about being able to comment, whatever you want. As long as you end up calling
me out on things that help out the show, I'm more than happy to take a couple. I'm willing to take
a couple haymakers if I have to, as long as it means I don't continue to get popped over a couple
fights, right? Uh, let me learn my lesson. Oh, I'm a human. I can make mistakes. And so I'm glad
that you guys end up doing that. And it's a good change of pace for the Jags. I do like to go
personally, just because I think, uh, Gladstone's going to be gone. Um, that's a hot take. And,
you know, I ended up talking about it. I mean, apparently it's not, you know, people just are
more and more on board with it, but, uh, bro, Simone and I did a hot takes video just released
yesterday. So go check that out. Uh, but regardless, I mean, think that the strategy
for the team is going to change. So I'm very excited for that, for the Jaguars.
Number 18, you got the Broncos going Jamari Johnson, tight end out of Oregon,
a hundred percent ahead. Jamari Johnson is a phenomenal tight end, and he might be down to
245 pounds according to NFS. That would be freakish. And the Broncos are continuing very
similar like the Steelers. Like we're, we're doing a good enough job at patching the vacancy that we
want to solve, but we have now the ability to solve it with really good value for the long haul.
And I love it. The Broncos I'm getting a high tier reliable weapon. That could be a really
good blocker. I mean, I'm never going to complain about that myself. So I really do like that pick
the Buccaneers go Ashton Hampton at number 19 overall. And for me, this is a math Ashton Hampton.
I mean, it could be as high as a hit, but, um, you know, Ashton Hampton just has a lot of
inconsistency to his game. Like wide receivers that I don't think are NFL quality, like Cooper
Barkay. Uh, he, they tore his, he tore him up, but you do see the vision with Hampton.
Uh, I don't really fully trust that the Buccaneers are going to have the same organization
and without a QB, most likely for the future. I don't think it's off the board that a new
organization or a new head coach is going to come in and then just say,
let's go after Darian Mensah. He's down in Miami. So I just think that that's going to be
probably the better return on investment than going after a corner that needs some development
and need some time, especially when you have Vita VEA for an extra year, but at the very minimum,
you know, there's still that concern. And even if Bulls is there, I don't think he's
going to look at Ashton Hampton as his job savior. So we'll see what happens in the next
year. Number 20, the Texas go Kwon Lacey running back out of Ole miss. This is a hit. I think this
team needs a little bit of juice in the run game. Very similar to what I've been talking about with
the Steelers with safety, the Broncos with tight end. The Texans have been just doing everything,
but fully addressing the running back spot. I love Woody Marks. I really do, but I don't think
Woody Marks is the long-term every down answer. And you end up looking at Kwon Lacey,
not necessarily, in my opinion, as polished as back as people say, but the home run hitting
ability is something that I don't think Woody Marks brings on a down by down basis, the way
that it is part of Kwon Lacey DNA. And if you can end up maximizing said DNA, I think you're in a
very good spot. So Kwon Lacey, a good selection there for the Texans. What I prefer Jaden Baugh,
maybe, but that's only because of the gap in talent, not necessarily just because I think
that, you know, they specifically would want Jaden Baugh's skillset more. And number 21,
we got the Patriots going Yonze Pierre, edge rusher out of Alabama. This is a meh. I don't
think the Patriots' number one issue is going to be edge rusher. They value run defense. Yonze
Pierre does bring it, but it's just such a small frame at 244 that even though I think the 250
frame, 255 has been pretty heavily preferred. I don't know if he's going to be up there. If he is
250, 255, we can talk about this as a hit. It's just, there's a lot of meat that needs to be
added to Yonze's bones because he is a more lanky prospect that I'm just not really ready to say
that's exactly worth it for the Patriots here. Now, again, it's not a bad pick, but, you know,
we do have Melvin Siani available and you could solve your right tackle spot for the long haul,
put Caleb Lomu at left, and then end up having Will Campbell at guard. To me, that's just a
better return on investment. Maybe I was a little bit too harsh, but Yonze Pierre just needs to
learn how to pass rush a little bit more and is too small for the run defense game for the
Patriots with other options to go after him over those other options. So that's what's sticking
in of my head right there. Number 22, the Eagles go Kelly Jones corner out of Mississippi State.
This is another mess. Kelly Jones to me is going to be a really solid fit.
6'4", 195. I really like him to be, you know, very similar to Tariq Wollin.
Where I get hung up is the fact that people are thinking he's a true first round type of talent,
and I'm just not there. I think there's a lot of projection that goes into that.
If he was of that skill set, I think he would have come out this past year. If he was,
if he was going to be looked at as a round two type of pick, he would have come out this year,
and he just wasn't. But I like the fit. It's just so early and it's just very tough to digest that
this early, this would be the best return on investment. When you do have KJ Bolden available,
and this team hopefully could end up transitioning Koop more to a safety role, or I mean, you could
end up having KJ Bolden there too. But it's just like, there's a vision to where you have a dynamic
approach with Kooper Dejean and KJ Bolden as kind of like a rotational role with their ability to
play the nickel as well as a true safety role. That intrigues me a lot more, especially for
return on investment. I just think it's better for the Eagles in the long run to go after that
route. Speaking of KJ Bolden, number 23 overall, the Cincinnati Bengals select the Georgia product.
This is going to be a hit. KJ Bolden, you know, a hundred percent is a really good type of talent,
a top 10 type of safety, but safety's dropped because of value. This is a really talented
class. Teams are going to drop them even more. And KJ Bolden, he's a Swiss army knife,
doesn't have the biggest build, and that's more so the concern for the long haul, but he is still
very, very, very skilled at a lot of things and doesn't really feel weak in any area. So
you're getting a Swiss army knife for secondary that is going to have two cornerbacks under
contract that are going to be pretty tough. And again, Jordan Battle, like I mentioned there,
also up for a contract. And I love the idea of being able to solve a defensive back position
long-term with a really damn good player. And it does kind of remind me a little bit of Dax Hill,
minus some of the athleticism where Dax Hill was kind of a quasi-safety nickel hybrid,
and that they drafted in the first round. Number 24, the Cowboys select Chris Cole,
linebacker out of Georgia. This is a hit. I love Chris Cole. I was very concerned about him
before I ended up grading him fully because you end up looking and the highlights are phenomenal,
but highlights just don't dictate the quality of a linebacker. It is down by down because I'm like,
congrats, you made a big impact on one play, but then you end up letting up three more.
And the narrative for everybody is that this guy's very inconsistent. I don't think he is.
I think he's misunderstood. Jihad Campbell is a great comp for this guy. He looks polished as an
edge rusher, let alone a linebacker. He fights hands of offensive linemen. He throws them to
the ground. I think he's up there with one of the best linebackers I've ever studied.
I believe that. And so for the Cowboys to draft him here at 24, it's very obvious what I think
but on top of it, I think the Cowboys can absolutely use a linebacker that is so athletic
that they can use him off the edge. I mean, it kind of is the reverse of what Jason Barham is
doing, but you pretty much have two guys who could be sandbackers or bikes based on their
physicality. And I just love the fact that he has the athleticism to handle slot receivers,
slot tight ends, inline tight ends. This is an eraser in coverage. And that does complement
Jason Barham quite a bit because Jason Barham obviously transitioned to edge before he ended
up being a linebacker. Number 25, we have the Los Angeles Chargers going at Cade Piper,
center out of Iowa. This is a hit. I think that it is a bit of an overlap with Jake Slaughter.
I'm not a big Jake Slaughter guy. Tyler Biotish, not a fan or not a fan of losing him. And so
you will have essentially three centers on your offensive line for the long haul, but they've
shown the desire to draft an undersized center and move them to guard. I just think that Cade
Piper's leagues ahead of Jake Slaughter, but that's just my personal opinion. So we'll end up
having, it lines up with what the Chargers have selected recently and like their vision for it.
We'll see if McDaniel stays as an offensive coordinator. If he does not, then we can start
talking about like Caden Green or, you know, get some of the other guards of this class.
But for right now, I think it lines up very well schematically and the talent absolutely
through the roof. So big fan of that right there. Number 26, the Cheeseco Trevor Lauk,
tackle out of Iowa. This is a mess. I love the idea of keeping Trevor at tackle and he has some
really good athletic traits. I do worry about the arm length a little bit. I think I projected him
at under 33 inches at 32 and three quarters. Is that based off of measurements? No, but I feel
like I'm not horrible on tackle arm length. You kind of just look at it and gauge it versus
edge rushers that, you know, their arm length. Pretty straightforward calculation, but I don't
think this is a bad spot. It's just, it's just a little bit early. I'll say that. So I like the
position. I don't like the player. I would easily go Melvin Siani here who have a first round grade
on and the right tackle spot is a pretty big vacancy for the future. So I would love for the
Chiefs to go after that route. Again, I'm just not fully sold on a left tackle and then are,
I assume, are we moving? So Lauk plays left tackle, but I believe the transition, uh, he'll
transition to the right side. So we're not even gonna talk about Josh Simmons back at right tackle
where he was for some time at San Diego state. Makes sense. Protect the blind side with your
proven asset. But that's even more reason for me to not be a huge fan of the specific player.
But I do like the idea of the vision and the fit 27, the lines go great Johnson guard out of
Minnesota. Um, this one's also a mess. I don't think I've said I'd missed so far this entire
episode that shows you because I have a lot of respect for Jordan Reed. Um, but on top of that,
I can understand the thought process. Greg Johnson has played center. He's played guard
moves like a tackle. So you're getting just a very unique athlete. So if you pair him up with
Routledge and like, obviously Miller as well, you're getting a lot of experience,
which lines up with that draft philosophy. And then you're getting a lot of flexibility.
Now, technically Blake Miller wasn't very flexible. He was a right tackle or kind of
bust at that point. Great T Routledge. No one thought of him as a center or a guard. It was
a pure guard. So that's where the departure is. But going after quality offensive line talent is
never a losing strategy and being able to, you know, fortify the run game is important.
I'm not super high on Greg Johnson. He is a little bit closer to the 70 to 75 range on my board just
because of the inconsistencies, but the high level plays phenomenal. It's just very, very big gap in
between the good play and the bad. And the problem is it's not like one or two bad reps a game. It's,
it's a good mix of both. Number 28, the Niners go Nikki Prongos tackle out of Stanford.
This is a, this is a hit. I don't believe in Nikki Prongos just yet, but I do for some reason
that gut instinct first off Stanford, I think what's like an hour and a half train ride from
Santa Clara. So if they select them here, there's been a lot of eyes on him. There's a lot of
understanding. So whenever there's a local guy who gets selected that fills a need, I tend to
trust it a little bit more than like, Oh, we ended up having a scout there for a game. Like, you know,
like there's, there's a difference, but obviously I'm being like a little bit extreme and facetious
to prove a point, but Nikki Prongos has great athleticism. I got to see him last year in person
when Stanford came to play SMU, I didn't necessarily see round one from him, but you
can definitely see the movement skills are there. The whiffs are very bad. It's like, it does remind
me a little bit of, you know, Trevor Lauck. And I didn't want to be, you know, intellectually
dishonest by, you know, technically saying that Prongos is a hit and then Lauck is not. Lauck
not being a hit was solely because of the fact that, well, Hey, I didn't have as high of a grade,
but being more importantly, the right tackle spots available. I will say for the Niners,
I prefer Melvin Siani, who has also played left tackle, but again, that's just my big preference.
Number 29, the Seahawks go Justin Scott, defensive interior out of Miami. This one's a hit. I don't
think that the Seahawks should be going after an undersized defensive interior, but the value of
the skillset of Justin Scott and how it would end up just being perfect to be an understudy for
Byron Murphy, I'd work. And I know Mike McDonald would as well. I'd work with not having an
extremely balanced defensive interior room. Like you have to get creative when you have smaller
defensive interiors, just lurking around. Ahmad Moten, in my opinion, would be a better fit,
but I would say that Justin Scott has the much higher ceiling and you're taking a ceiling shot
here. I don't mind that at all for the Seahawks, especially because I just trust McDonald there.
So let's continue on. Number 30, the Ravens go Ahmad Moten. Just mentioned him, defensive
interior out of Miami. This is a hit. Ahmad Moten is a very high floor player, a very BPA
skilled, experienced player. The Ravens don't need to get fancy with it. Go after someone who's just
going to improve your roster. If you are sitting at number 30, you're not that far away. So don't
try to like go and overcorrect by trying to go balls to the wall. You could, it wouldn't be the
worst thing in the world, but you're also talking about a system with Minter that has had very
consistent top tier defensive interior play and it requires it based on how Michigan recruits
defensive interiors. But I don't think he's had that luxury for a minute. And I want to give him
that luxury again. So I like the vision for a mentors system. Number 31, the bills go Nick Marsh,
wide receiver out of Indiana. This is going to be a hit. I think the bills, even though I don't
want to have, I'm going to be in between. I think the value is great. So I'm not going to like take
my foot off the hit. I would just say Nick Marsh needs to work on his athleticism to make me feel
super comfortable and get off the ledge. I'm going to be optimistic. I think he's gonna have a really
good year for Indiana. He was great for Michigan state, but there are some athletic limitations
that make me worried about him being able to transition to the boundary full time. But I think
the bills would make it work. Kind of feels like a great understudy for DJ more a little bit early
specifically, but the talent itself is a top top 32 player. And I hope that with the athletic
increase that I had hoped Nick Marsh to get, this will make plenty of sense. And, you know,
he could go as high as top 10. So last but not least the dolphins with that trade down from
number one, my dumb ass, I forgot they traded down from number one. They get will held edge
out of Clemson. Um, this is a hit the edge positions, a hundred percent one that I target.
It is going to be like, what flavor of ice cream do you want? Do you want will held that six,
seven, two 60. Do you want to go with tail? We ungulate who's going to be about 270 pounds.
Like there's, there's gonna be a lot of questions. Cleve Lubin who's on the smaller side,
but apparently now he's up to the two 70 mark. Like if you want to go to edge route, there's a
lot of ways you can go. I like, we'll help as a quality to maybe a quality three, but I will say
at the end of round one, it's hard to find true high tier edge ones. I think Mateo ugly will be
my more preferred selection, but that's why I do it in my mock drafts. But this is still a player
who I think is a potential round one player round two grade right now that is on a team that really
needs something at edge rusher. So hard to say no, when you have that option available,
that's going to be the video. Thank you guys so much for watching. Shout out to Jordan Reed.
I'm good, dude. Again, got a lot of love and respect for him, but we'll see you later. Peace.
