CBS Mike Renner's THREE ROUND 2027 NFL Mock Draft

Mike Renner just dropped a three-round 2027 NFL mock draft, so we are here to review it. If you guys are new, feel free to like, comment, and subscribe. Below my face is my board. It's based on all 22. Feel free to go check out the full list, every eval and winners and losers of every single week on the Patreon for five bucks a month. Let's get into this. Normally, I'll have a bunch of sound effects for like hit, miss, or math for each pick. I'm not going to do that because it'll take me a damn hour. Just to get at least the timing right on some of these. I want to get you guys this good content. It's three rounds, so I hope you guys do appreciate the fact that we'll just do it a little bit more. Simply a little bit more the OG way. Mike is a friend of the show. He's come on several times. Love him to death. Excited to bring him on again. Let's get into this. Starting out with the number one overall selection, the Chargers go after Jeremiah Smith. We can't take any risks. With videos ending up giving us copyright, really, ************. There we go. Jeremiah Smith, wide receiver of Ohio State. It's a hit. Jeremiah Smith is a very, very good player. You know, I think I'll end up having Leonard Moore above him. I just regraded Leonard Moore. The grades are not in just yet because I want to update quite a few players at the same time for the big board. And then all you guys over on the Patreon are going to get first look at that before it pops up here on the show. But Jeremiah Smith, he is the number one type of pick. I just think Leonard Moore is just a special, special player, just like Jeremiah Smith. They're both amazing. Number two, we've got the Titans going Dylan Stewart edge out of South Carolina. To me, this is also a hit. He's a great player, just really talented edge rusher. And again, this is a team that should not be afraid to take very unique, very high ceiling players. Dylan Stewart is kind of a one of one. Number three, we have the Dolphins going Drew Mes to make her quarterback out of Oklahoma state. This is also a hit. The thing is, and people got their feathers ruffled about it, I totally agree that this is not the best landing spot for Drew Mestemaker, but I do have to just bring up the fact that the next pick is the Jets, and you are giving a franchise quarterback in division. I hate to say it, if you had the ability to steal Josh Allen or if you had the ability to steal Drake May before they went to your division rivals, even if you weren't ready, you'd probably be pretty happy with them not being on their respective teams. Not saying that's exactly what Drew Messmaker is going to be, but I do think that is a very it's a very reasonable possibility if he ends up going to the Jets of being a top 10 quarterback in the NFL within a couple of years. And to know that you passed up on that because you weren't the best situation for him. That's going to hurt for a long time. So I do think that's the right move. Tennessee just put a belt to one of the best teams in the country, and they're barely favored to win versus Texas A&M. If you check it out over on CallSheet, Tennessee only has a 56% chance to beat Texas A&M. I find that to be ludicrous. If you do use the code HMS or make it easy, just click the link in the description. You'll end up after putting $25 on saying that Tennessee is going to win. That's it. You'll end up getting $42.56 back. On top of that, you'll end up getting $55 added to your account instantly when you make this trade. So if Texas A&M pulls off the impossible, you net 30 positive. And if you end up seeing the Tennessee Volunteers win, you'll end up getting $42.56 plus $55. Math is boring, but that is just under $100. $30 to $100 guaranteed. Feel free to go and use the code HMS when signing up. Again, Kalshi is going to be based off of a peer-to-peer market, so these numbers will change. Make sure you go and act fast. Code HMS, you get $55 when using 25. Number four, the Jets go CJ Carr, quarterback out of Notre Dame. This is also, well, I guess this is more of a math. CJ Carr is a very good QB. I don't have really anything against him. He's a top 20 player on my board. But he's been very erratic in terms of his overall accuracy this season. I'm glad that he's finally bounced back to a point where he's been very like he's stepped up in the biggest moments versus Miami. But once again, they had a big lead and then couldn't necessarily sustain that gap. I do want to see a little bit more of that precision and that killer instinct when they're up versus a big opponent. But the Jets are a great spot for him to go. They're pretty much a complete team. And again, they have three first round picks on top of that. I think Udinski will end up going here. My buddy who's an Eagles fan definitely hates that. Even though Udinski grew up a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I think when you look at three firsts in a near completed offense, it's hard to say no. Number five, speaking of the Eagles, they have Arch Manning quarterback out of Texas. This is a mess. So this is very enjoyable. Like I find this to be a very entertaining pick. It's a very Philadelphia kind of pick. I highly doubt Arch Manning comes out. I would put it probably at like a three out of 10, but I don't think that the Eagles would pass on Arch Manning at this point. Granted, if I'm the Jets, I'm taking Arch over CJ Carr and I have CJ Carr above Arch. It's just based off of. What you could have in the Manning name, the branding, I just can't see him going below CJ Carr. I don't think CJ Carr has been, I don't think his play has superseded the value aspect of the overall brand of Arch Manning. And Arch has been very up and down, but so has CJ Carr. CJ Carr has just played less competition. Arch has played a lot of top 25 teams. So I would say that it's a pretty solid pick for Philly. It's just tough to justify, you know, going after a QB for the Eagles here at number five. Again, Arch Manning could be one of those where you can end up pulling the trigger. Number six, the Jets go Leonard Moore corner on Notre Dame. This is a hit for me. Elite type of corner. Again, I will probably have him as the number one player in the class. He looks more explosive and more. He looks faster this year than he did last. Most recent game I just graded of his was versus Miami, and he was phenomenal in that game. There's not many holes on his tape. He's just a phenomenal player. Looks a little bit uncomfortable in single high situations. But again, what a nitpick. I mean, like he's not ever going to be in that situation. He should be looked at as a number two or number one overall pick. Then we have a number seven, the Washington Commanders going Colin Simmons edge out of Texas. To me, this is also a hit. I like the idea of the Commanders continue to invest in their edge core. Kayla Von Chase on a one year deal. Even if you re-sign him, I don't believe this is a bad move. Teams need a pretty damn solid deep edge core and Colin Simmons, especially with the health issues he's had this year, might not be the worst situation for him to walk into. Really do love Colin Simmons overall as a prospect. I'm not as high as some other people on him, but... I still think he's a very good player. Number eight, we have the Buccaneers going Charlie Becker wide receiver at Indiana. To me, this is a hit. Tampa Bay is a phenomenal landing spot for a boundary receiver that could be a true X, and that's what Becker can provide. He's a big play threat. This team misses Mike Evans. Mike Evans has been fantastic in San Francisco, which is amazing to see, but Becker will at least bring some energy to the outside. Number nine, we have the Cardinals going Trinidad Chambliss, quarterback out of Ole Miss. I'm going to give this one a meth. I don't think Chambliss fits very well with the athletic quarterback or the quarterback archetype for Mike LaFleur. On top of that, he's older. I don't think the Cardinals are really in a great position for that to be the case. We'll see what other QBs are available in this class because he ended up tossing in Arch Manning. But ultimately, I don't really think Trinidad has garnered. And this was released like four hours ago. I don't think he's garnered the respect. Based off of his most recent play to be a true number nine overall pick. I have to say it like he definitely has taken a little bit more of a backseat for me. Number 10, we've got the Falcons going Xavier Gilliam, the defensive material intensity. This is also going to be a mess like I don't. I like the idea of, hey, he fits the Grady Jarrett mold. And again, it works really well with. Oh, my God, I'm tripping up on his name off the top of my head. But Bears traded defensive interior. But... I don't think that you guys are that desperate for defensive interior over an offensive lineman over a quarterback. I just don't really think there's a good return on investment there. So I mean, I just, I don't really think that it's going to be a position that makes a lot of sense to draft at number 10, number 11. We have the Texans going Jordan Seaton, tackle of LSU. This is a big hit for me. Jordan Seton's a great player. He needs to just add a little bit extra weight because when he dropped 20 pounds, it's pretty obvious he wasn't ready to play at that lighter frame. So I just don't really think that that's the move. Also, Girvin Dexter name was slipping my mind. It's damn 9:30 PM. But number 12, we have the Saints going Chris Cole linebacker out of Georgia. This is a home run hit. I think when I end up regrading Chris Cole for the current updated grades, he's going to end up probably being my number three player. And again, we're going to have Leonard Moore in generational territory. Jeremiah Smith, most likely in generational territory. Chris Cole might be in the generational territory as well. I think he is. He's a perfect hybrid of Arvell Reese and Jihad Campbell. So he's not as strong as Arvell Reese, but he's bigger and stronger than Jihad Campbell was off the edge. And I just think he's a better prospect overall. And he's on the level of Arvell Reese. Arvell's actually been better in the NFL than, in my opinion, he was in college, which I love to see. That's great. And honestly, I think Chris Cole could be in a similar light if he is deployed properly, especially in a Brandon Staley defense. I'm a big fan of this fit. 13, we have the Jets going. Will Echols, defensive interior out of Ole Miss. This is a hit. Really quality defensive interior. Not someone who's going to blow your socks off, but he does have those flashes like versus LSU where he does show his high ceiling. And that's worth taking a pot shot on for a team that does look to upgrade the defensive interior. 14, TreDavion Green, tight end out of LSU, goes to the Ravens. I think this is a miss. Honestly, TreDavion Green is not versatile enough to be worth a number 14 overall pick in the first place. On top of that... I just don't really think that he's going to be the tight end that offers a ton for this offense. Granted, he could end up working well. I mean, I guess miss is a bit harsh. It's because of how high it is. If this was like a late first where the Ravens traded back and ended up taking him, you could say, okay, Declan Doyle going to be Colson Loveland archetype. I can see how that makes sense, but I personally think that the Baltimore Ravens aren't really position to try to get too fancy and Colson Loveland was a much better blocker than TreDavion Green. Like Colson Loveland was a lot more well-rounded than the number suggested. And personally, I don't think TreDavious Green is there. Number 15, the Ravens go Jackson Harris, a wide receiver out of LSU. This is a big hit. Obviously you see on my board, he's my number three player in the class. Uh, I ended up seeing, I think. What I'm trying to remember, James Foster, his board, he ended up having him comp to Michael Wilson. I'm having Jackson Harris be basically a healthy and better version of Michael Wilson. Funnily enough, also, I believe a Stanford wide receiver before going to Hawaii. So Stanford is a type and he's going to be among those like Io Maynard, Michael Wilson, Jackson Harris. They have some pretty unique, similar traits. And I think Jackson Harris is going to be the best of the trio. He is an absolute superstar. Go and enjoy. Just watch him. He is phenomenal. I think he'd be an amazing wide receiver one for the Raiders. Number 16, we have the Browns going Dante Moore, quarterback out of Oregon. This is a mess. Dante Moore, when he hits his ceiling and he hits his stride, is going to be a perfect fit for this team. Like it's a great fit. The problem with Dante Moore is, A, he has not been healthy this year. Unfortunately, it was a really bad concussion. But on top of that, it's just he's not a big winner. Like he's just really not, you're not seeing him be a reason this team in very tight games is pulling off the W and you say, Oh, the, the, you know, the receiving core isn't that great, but he has two first round tight ends and okay. The offensive line's not that great. That's a valid reason, but it's not the reason why he's not winning big games. He's just not putting his foot down on the gas pedal enough. In my opinion, when the. You know, early in the game, he can end up letting the other team get a big margin of victory. And then, you know, you end up seeing him trying to climb back, but he still doesn't have that big play consistency. Like there's just aspects of Dante Morris game that I just don't think qualifies him to be a top half of the first round type of guy. And that's just my personal opinion. Number 17, the Seahawks go Ashton Hampton corner out of Clemson. This is a hit. I regraded Ashton Hampton today, and my honest opinion of him is he is a very unique corner who has a great frame where he can end up handling really solid receivers, even from the from the nickel. The problem with Ashton is he's not necessarily the most twitchy. I think that receivers can get vertical separation on him and like Malachi Tony, he ended up up locking down. And then when you end up watching it There are plays where I think if Darian Menza just decided to take the shot, there was a couple steps of separation and it could have been a really bad day for Ashton Hampton. So those are my honest opinions. Let me know what you guys think about that. But for the Seahawks, I think it's a great value, great frame. If you end up just not having him locked in one-on-one, I think this guy would be a stud. 18, we got the Browns going Will Herald Edge out of Clemson. This is a mess. It fits the Browns edge profile, bigger, long armed edge rushers. It's a good fit. I mean, I like the fit for this team. And sadly, the edge core has not been hyper productive. Like with Jared Verse, he's kind of taking a step back. But I don't think that's a reason you should panic buy on a floor edge rusher. So I do this in round two. I would not do it in round number one. Number 19, we have the Panthers going Devin Tompkins edge out of Alabama. I think this is a miss. I like Devin Tompkins, but he's an older prospect who's a tweener. I don't trust the defensive vision on Carolina. There are a lot better players, in my opinion, to grab. And I like Devin Tompkins a ton. I mean, he's a top 32, I think maybe top 35 player for me. There's nothing against Devin Tompkins. But Devin Tompkins needs a defensive mind that knows how to use him. And there's no defensive mind currently in Carolina. They end up bringing in, like, if somehow Flores comes into the picture. Maybe we could talk about it, but I don't think he's going to, he would rather be a DC still in Minnesota, probably than go to damn Carolina. But I just don't necessarily trust the defensive situation that Devin Tompkins will go into. And when you have a good offensive lineman on the board, I don't think this is a reasonable move to make. 20, we have the Patriots going Greg Johnson. This is a hit. He is a guard slash center out of Minnesota. He's very flexible, very versatile with AVT's injury history. Unfortunately, Awanu as well. Having a pretty bad, I believe, might have been a leg fracture off the top of my head, like an ankle fracture, just not a good spot. Jared Wilson, I hope he continues to blow it up and get better and better and better. But ultimately, you can't stop upgrading this offensive line. Like, I don't... I don't stress that enough. Not enough teams focus on building a great offensive line. Everything else becomes so much easier the moment you actually have time. The running lanes get bigger, so the running backs perform better. The quarterback has more time, so you end up having better performances as well. I think it's very clear if you have the option to go after a high ceiling guard and a high floor guard, you pulled the trigger. But on top of it, if you did want to go after a Jaden Ball, I don't disrespect that at all. I personally think that might have been the better move. 21, the Cowboys go with Lance Hurd, tackle out of Kentucky. To me, this is a mess. The problem with Lance Hurd is that I think he needs to be in a spot where a guard is an open option. And that's just not the case on the Cowboys. I don't trust Lance Hurd when it comes to his anchor. He gets blown up quite a bit. That doesn't yield pressures, but that's college. When you go to the NFL where players know how to combine a bull rush with another move, they know how to combo, they know how to take better angles, they're better with their timing. Having a bad or at least inconsistent anchor can end up being a huge problem. And there's no fallback spot for Lance Hurd if he ends up having these problems. So I don't like it for the Cowboys. Even though I like the idea of going offensive tackle for them, I don't really think Lance Hurd provides the value that people think. Number 22, the Giants go Cam Coleman, wide receiver out of Texas. Even though it's going to piss people off, this is a hit for me. Cam Coleman is a very solid receiver. People want to dog ---- on him. He is not that bad. He added a little extra weight this year. He listed by NFL at 211. It's very clear he should be in the 198 to 200 range. He works a lot better as a slim route runner, and that's perfectly fine. If you use Cam Coleman as kind of like a LSU Brian Thomas, then you're going to be in a very good spot with him in league on the boundary, and then you can have Malachi Fields as the big slot. I don't think you pass up on a young talent like this. Of course, I personally think he should go back to school, end up getting into the proper shape for him, and come out as a dominant receiver the way he should be. Number 23, we have the Bengals going Ellis Robinson corner out of Georgia. This is a big hit. Ellis Robinson, I also regraded him today. Can you tell I like the corner class? I love corners. You guys know how I roll. Like his one big issue for me is like changing north to south, you know, going back to Ford. It's a little less fluid than what it was last year. I don't know what the issue is with him, but I thought he looked a lot better in terms of his zone coverage capabilities this year. He definitely gets a little bit of a better feel. I think maybe at the cost of that, he's gotten a little bit less aggressive as a in terms of man coverage. But ultimately, the NFL likes to be able to have, you know. Heavier zone capabilities. And in Al Golden's defense, I think Ellis Robinson will work phenomenally well. You think about the corners that have gone through there through Notre Dame. Like maybe you want a little bit of a heavier corner, but he's worked phenomenally well with the slimmer ones like DJ Turner, Dax Hill, etc. So I think it's a great fit. I highly doubt he gets this spot. Twenty four, the Chiefs get Jamari Johnson tight end out of Oregon. I think this is a massive home run hit. He is a really good tight end, period. Like he's a balanced elite level possible tight end. He needs to get regraded for me. His grade is a little bit too old at this moment, but he you can feel when he's on the field versus when he's off. That's the most important thing. That's why I love Sauce Gardner when he's coming out. Unfortunately, he's just not the player he is anymore. But this is a phenomenal addition that. This is an offense that cares about the tight end position. You cannot cheap out on it. It's a good move. 25. We have the Eagles going Cade Peepers guard slash center out of Iowa. This is a hit. He's a very athletic, aggressive interior offensive lineman. This team needs interior offensive line help. Would I rather if a Lance Heard would be here and go with that route? Absolutely. Where I have Lance Heard going to be the understudy of Jordan Mailata for the long haul and have him be a bigger, heavier interior offensive lineman. But there's nothing wrong with getting athletic and dangerous offensive lineman. I mean, obviously. You didn't have the biggest center on earth for a long time in Kelsey, right? So it is a precedent that I personally think works really well if he does come out, which a lot of signs are that he will not. 26, we have the Steelers going Sebastian Cheeks edge out of Wisconsin. This is a miss. I love Sebastian Cheeks so far. He's looked phenomenal. Watch the highlights if you guys have not already on X. They're really enjoyable. He is strong in the core. You can tell because he's throwing guys off of him. He's staying on his feet as he's going through tight areas. There's nothing wrong with him being taken in the first. My problem is there's a lot of logistical issues with the Steelers getting an edge round one. And being able to maximize the value of him now, again, you don't ever have to drop for need, but I don't think Sebastian Cheeks is proven necessarily to garner the value he has here over some of the other positions that are available, like a KJ Bolden, for example, or you can end up looking at, you know, Kelly Jones is getting some respect, but you want to go to the other corner positions as well. Like there's other players that I personally would value over Sebastian Cheeks, but Again, is it the worst pick on earth? Absolutely not. I just think this edge class is so deep that you're going to get really similar value or teams will pass on him until this point to get him in a later spot. So let me know what you guys think about that. But I just don't really think as a round one pick, this makes very much sense, nor helps the team in the short or long run. 27, we have the Lions. And this was one of the players I was about to mention. I held my tongue. I didn't think he'd be up here. Audavian Collins corner out of Penn State. For the Lions, this is a hit. Audavian's a smooth corner, explosive as hell. He comes downhill very, very well. I do think his change of direction is surprisingly bad for his size. Like his speed and explosiveness makes up for the fact that sometimes he gets caught trying to change directions. But when he is in off coverage and just triggering downhill. It's a sight to see like he is explosive as hell. So I do like to see that. And, you know, got to give a shout out to Jet Jefferson. I hope he's going to be in this very soon. He's another player that I ended up grading and I'm very excited to actually finalize my grading on him. I have him about half graded at the moment, but Jet's been really, really enjoyable to watch. But there's a good combination of corners there. And again, when I'm talking about the Steelers, it's another reason why I'm saying let's pass on an edge, especially. One that doesn't really garner the same level of hype in the first round. But for the Lions, corner is paramount. 21, or excuse me, 28. The Vikings go KJ, Duff, wide receiver, Rutgers. Giving this a meh. I don't think the issue with the Vikings is that they can't take a pot shot to a wide receiver for a contested catch. KJ Duff, he has also weak ankles. I mean, fortunately, the issue he's dealing with right now is he's a tall receiver who's smooth, but he's not been healthy. And that's a big issue. Big guys who aren't necessarily fully healthy end up having a big issue in the NFL where health and availability are very important. For the Vikings, again, I just don't really see the return on investment there. Number 29, this is a move I've made before. Zereway Williams tackle out of Utah, goes to the Broncos. This is a hit for me. Zereway is, I have him up here at number 12. Maybe he should be a little bit lower based off of the experience, but Zereway is somebody who is a hyper athlete who waited his turn, has a lot of tread on the tires, but he is older. But we got to start asking ourselves, why do we focus so much on the number in terms of age? Pause Jeffrey Epstein. But that was a horrible timing. But regardless, like talking about the longevity, the health, the overall profile of the player, that seems to be a little bit more of something we should focus on, because if a player lasts until he's 36 and he started at 25, it's a lot different than a player who started at 23 and quits at 30. Right. That's a big difference, right? You end up getting more years out of this player because maybe they didn't end up taking as much of a battering in college. We focus so much on running backs in college taking a lot of carries and such and their longevity in NFL. We don't really focus on a lot of these other positions for that. And I am quite surprised because in the trenches, you'd think that it's important to be able to, like for longevity purposes, to have tread on those tires as well. So I really like that for the Broncos. They need to focus on getting a long-term option at that tackle spot. They have a tall enough QB to where you can kick them into guard if need be. 30, the Titans go Kelly Jones corner out of Mississippi State. This is a mess for me. Kelly Jones is going to be a true day two grade for me. Like, he's very woolen-esque in terms of, like, straight-line speeds there, change of directions, not. He does get stuck in the ground a bit. Some good zone capabilities. He's far from a bad player. I think the Titans need a corner, but personally, if you could have gone Leonard Moore and then went after a high-tier edge at this point, I think that would have been a better haul. It's a hot take, but it is what it is. 31 Trevor Goosby tackle out of Texas goes to the Niners. Big hit, of course, ended his season with an injury. There's a reason why I don't like including these players in my mock drafts. It's like it's very improbable that Arch comes out. And if Arch doesn't come out, Trevor Goosby was coming off a season ending injury. Probably won't want to come out, which also means that Melvin Siani probably doesn't want to come out. Cam Coleman might not want to come out. There's just a cascading effect of a logical flow that just makes these mock drafts now very unrealistic. And that's why I don't like to do it. Of course, for Mike, it's like, yeah, you're showing a realistic option for Goosby, who is a super like a top 10 talent. What happens if he does come out? And I respect that. But for those of you who are wondering, why do you always have players return in your mock drafts? It's because it it feels fake. I feel like I'm giving analysis on something that is highly improbable versus, you know, hey, we can be positively surprised that this player is coming out. So... I mean, that's that's just my take on it. But yeah, for the Niners, it makes a ton of sense. 32 Boubacar Traore goes to the Bills. I'm going to give this one a meh. He deserves Traore deserves to be in this range. He's been phenomenal this year. But at the same time, I don't think the Bills main issue is going to be the edge core. They're investing a ton into it. It doesn't feel like something that would be a good return on investment for me. Alright, I know we're not going to have some fun pictures here. Number 33, Chargers go Justin Scott, defensive interior out of Miami. This is a meh. I don't think it moves the needle for the Chargers very much. He's been very underproductive this year, especially as a pass rusher, which I guess it's good to see someone with hand fighting ability be good at the run. There's potential there, but I just don't really think that that yields a really early second type of selection. Dolphins go Kingston Lopa at 34. That's a hit for me. I highly doubt he comes out. Started out red hot. Did not really play before this year and then got hurt. Hasn't really been necessarily great so far since he got hurt. Got to see him in person. He's very enjoyable to watch, but he's definitely not at the level that he once was. I think there's definitely something that still lingers around and there's no reason for him to come out in the first place. But for the Dolphins, you can snag him, pull the trigger. Titans go center Anthony Boswell at number 35. I think this is a meh. I know Mike loves Anthony Boswell. He was in his last mock draft. It was a good shout by Mike as well. I just don't really think that it's paramount that the Titans pull the trigger on a center this early. I don't think that's their massive vacancy. I personally, if you do look at the offensive tackle spot, I prefer to get a long-term answer there than kind of just get an interior offensive lineman plug. Number 36, the Eagles go Nick Marsh wide receiver at Indiana. To me, this is a strong meh, almost a miss, and it has nothing to do with the skill of Nick Marsh. It has to do with the fit. The Eagles have enough mid to short range separators, and that's what Nick Marsh is. You need to have some deep threat capabilities. This doesn't add anything to the offense, and I like Nick Marsh a lot. I just don't think this adds anything to the Philadelphia Eagles offense, except for adding another contract into that receiving core. Number 37, the Jets go Jordan Ross edge out of LSU. You know, this is a hit. I think Jordan Ross has shown a lot of progress this year. I highly doubt he comes out based off of the fact that he still is not the alpha number one there at LSU. But if he does, I don't mind him here in round two. Like he's a very polished player who's had multiple superstar performances this year. I don't mind it, especially for a Jets team where Will McDonald's already asking out. Like it makes sense to have some contingency plan there. 38, the Colts go Bear Alexander, defensive interior out of Oregon. This is a meh. Like, big personality concerns spread out through college. On top of that, you know, you're seeing him try to, like, granted, it's debatable whether he tried to punch. I think it was Jaden Maiava off the top of my head. Ed, but. It's just like, you know, or Niko Amaleava, I'm forgetting which one it was, but Bear Alexander just doesn't really move the needle for me compared to what other players could in terms of long-term value and long-term value is important to the Colts because I could give a rat's ass about short-term value for a team that's not going to do anything in the short term. This feels like, you know, an emergency plug for a team that you're, you've got to admit you're, you're lost at this point. And so got to pull the trigger on something a little bit higher ceiling. I don't know how the hell this happens, but Jaden Boss slips to the commanders at number 39. This is going to be a clear hit. Um, you know. Top 10, top 15 player in the class, not been playing super healthy, and he ends up slipping here to 39. I think it's egregious, but the commanders get an elite running back, and I think it'll be a big upgrade. 40 for the Cardinals, Elijah Page tackle out of USC. I'm going to say this is a meh. The problem with Elijah Page is he is 6'7 off the top of my head, but you also have now a sub-6-foot quarterback, and you're going to have to switch one of your tackles to right tackle, whether that's Elijah Page or Paris Johnson. Elijah Page is not a good run blocker, so you devalue your number three overall pick, and on top of that, you have now put a great left tackle in Paris Johnson, probably to the right side where he's out of position, and now the blind side is a rookie. I don't like the strategy there. 41, the Falcons go Trevor Lauk tackle slash guard out of Iowa. This is a mess. I mean, it's good value for Trevor Lauk, but because there's the implications of him moving to the interior, I prefer to take someone who's going to be a true tackle here. I mean, you look at Drew as a party, like a true right tackle. I'm trying to remember who else tackle-wise available. Melvin Siani, who's a left and right tackle. I think that's the perfect fit here. I don't really understand when you're going after someone with sub-33-inch arms. Whether that's going to be the right move number 42, especially with Darien Mensah on the board as well I haven't even thought about that. He goes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I'm gonna say it's a miss I know Baker only signed a couple year contract, but Ultimately, this just creates a ton of confusion in the locker room. I think this is a self-destructive move I love the value for Darien Mensah, but of all teams like but let's not take him to the Bucs 43 the Saints go Tavian Gadsden defensive interior out of Kentucky. I think this is a hit The Saints are obviously looking for some extra defensive interior pressure. I think him and Christian Miller would be a really nice one-two punch for the long haul, especially on those passing downs. 44, the Cardinals go Deuce Alexander, wide receiver out of Ole Miss. I'm giving this one a meh. Deuce Alexander's had really bad drop issues. I get the idea of having the connection to Trinidad Chambliss, so that's cool. But even in this past week versus Georgia, Deuce Alexander had 30 receiving routes, got one target, didn't get a catch. It's not like it's a do or die situation for Chambliss to use him. And I don't really think he provides very much when you're looking at what they're trying to replace with Marvin Harrison Jr. There's a lot of other players, in my opinion, like Reed Harris, who can end up providing that value. 45, the Ravens go Amari Washington, defensive interior out of Oregon. This is a hit, you know, extremely high ceiling player, great build, just hasn't really polished up enough. And that's a good value here at 45, especially for a team that needs to invest in the trenches. 46, the Raiders go Vakari Swain, corner out of South Carolina. This is a mess. I mean, this team has already done a good amount of investing into the defensive back core. I don't really think there's enough snaps to truly go around unless you really think Jermon McCoy shouldn't be on the field. So it feels like it's a cannibalistic move. You make a move in order to kind of take away from somebody else who needs to develop. So, I mean, I maybe would have wanted a little bit of a blurb here for the vision for him. 47, the Steelers go Ernest Green, offensive lineman out of Georgia. Blow my head off. This is a miss. Ernest Green's a good, consistent player, but... Like, what are we doing? Like, what are we doing trying to go guard here in round number two for the Steelers when there's so many other players that I think would be as valuable, if not more valuable, even on the interior of the offensive line. I mean, why not Austin Searveld? Like, he's been having trouble at tackle. Cool. Like, that's because he's not a tackle. When he was at guard, he was doing a great job. And he has the mobility. Like, I just don't really think Ernest Green, who's an extreme floor player, Especially after you just drafted Sebastian Cheeks, who's going to be a long-term player. Like, we got to have a vision in mind here. And we're taking high floor, low ceiling, short-term player in round two with a high ceiling, low floor player at a position that's not needed in round number one. I think you're just setting yourself up for mediocrity. I don't like the return on investment here. 48, the Seahawks go Junior Sherrill, wide receiver out of Vanderbilt. I'm going to give this one an NA. I have not graded Junior Sherrill. I think he's like, you look at the statistics and I've looked at the highlights, really enjoyable. I like the idea of wide receiver for the Seahawks, but I'm going to take a bow out on this one. I'll let my Vandy folks say whether he's truly worth a top 50 pick. I do like investing in wide receiver for the Seahawks though. 49 for the Rams, Sammy Omosigo, linebacker to UCLA. This is a meh. I like Sammy Omosigo. I take him in the second round myself, so this is nothing about that placement. The Rams have never shown interest in drafting a linebacker high in the first place. On top of that, I think a lot of it has to deal with Sahir West taking a lot of the focus of the offensive line and protection. Sammy does take pretty much a lot. I mean, I think that there's... A lot more freed up production for Omosigo than the numbers suggest. But he's a very good player. But again, I just don't like the fit to the Rams. 50, we've got the Browns going Jalen Mayo corner out of Houston. This is a mess. I don't think Jalen Mayo's played up to the level where you can garner him as a top 50 selection, but he has the physicality on tape. And I think the Browns would be a very good spot if you keep a Schwartz style defense for the long haul. You can end up, you know, still. Investing in those physical traits that worked well. 51, we have the Panthers going Dating Green edge out of Missouri. I've never seen Dayton Green, so that's on me, but I'm going to especially after going after another defensive lineman earlier, I'm going to say this is a miss. Two picks, both D-line with no offensive line support, no tight end support. I don't understand. Luke Reynolds is a couple picks down, by the way. You guys can't see it. It's this pick number 56. So... Yeah, I don't, I don't understand the vision here. 52, the Patriots go Dom Nichols, edge out of Michigan. This is a meh. Dom Nichols ended up garnering a top 50 grade for me when he was playing red hot at the start of the year. He's cooled off quite a bit. He deserves an updated grade and will probably be into the 100 range. And that's still a good spot for him to be, especially as a junior, for him to make a strong leap into the 2028 realm. 53, the Packers go Evan Link, tackle out of Michigan. This is a meh. Again, we're talking about a lot of players that should be in the 2028 class off the top of my head. Like, I don't I don't like this at all. This is just basically, oh, we're just going to plug in guys who I am projecting for 2028 and where they should be here in 2027. It just feels very unrealistic, which sucks because I was excited to see a really deep, thorough top 100. And it feels like I'm watching a hybrid, like a mock draft saying, oh, what if everybody came out? And again, maybe mock drafts should be made that way. But for me, when I try to give you guys good content, it's to understand like something that's more realistic so that you're not just thinking about, oh man, you know, we can get Luke Reynolds here at 56. It's like, no, I mean, like 20 of these players should have already gone back to school. You would have seen him take it a lot higher than this. Um, but yeah, is what it is. I like investing in offensive line for the Packers. 54, the Giants go Ahmad Moten, defensive interior out of Miami. That is a meh. I mean, he's been solid enough this year. Nothing crazy. And the Giants, I mean, it's weird to take a floor defensive interior nowadays. There's a lot of veterans that can do what a floor defensive interior can do. So I don't know if it's really a good return on investment if you don't see the ceiling there for him. But the Giants do need defensive interior. 55, the Chiefs go Nicky Prongos tackle at Stanford. This is a meh. Ultimately, like I've seen enough, like Khalil Benson's flashed enough to where I don't want to pull a second round trigger on a tackle, like especially when it's a project here, Nicky Prongos. I know that there's some questions and valid questions at that over the long-term availability of Josh Simmons. Unless you're really that terrified, I don't think this is the right move. I think there's some good wide receivers available that can end up providing a bit more value to the team that definitely needs it. Bengals at number 56 go Luke Reynolds tight end out of Virginia Tech. As much as I want to say this is a hit, I don't understand the vision for this team going Luke Reynolds. So this is going to be a mess. I mean, ultimately, I like more of the receiving trade is green style tight ends, the big big slots. And Luke Reynolds can't press downfield. He is going to be a short range operator, more of a screen guy and definitely more of an inline blocker. And I just don't really see that being exactly what the Bengals will be targeting. Otherwise, it would be a hit. Steelers at 57, go Jair Hill, corner out of Michigan. We finally get a hit for the Steelers here. I think Jair Hill is a quality corner with a ton of experience being a corner one. He's gotten better year over year over year. And ultimately, he will end up probably being in my top 50. And again, 6-2. Smooth player, again, a lot of experience. Steelers need it. 58, Lions go Tony Rojas, linebacker out of Penn State. This is a hit as well. Linebacking core definitely up in the air for the Lions. Going to top tier corner and linebacker out of Penn State seems to be a good move. 59 Vikings go Q on Lacey running back out of Ole Miss. This is a hit. You're getting a home run hitter, which is not necessarily the Vikings style. But of course, they went after DeMond Claiborne last year. The health is a major concern. He's also a true junior. I don't really see him coming out. I don't think the running back should come out. Baugh and Lacey have not been healthy. And, you know, realistically, NFL teams don't value you very much. College teams value you more. So I prefer to see what they can do back in college next year. But if they do come out, this is a good spot for him to go. 60 for the Falcons, Jelani McDonald, safety out of Texas is a hit now. Jesse Bates is gone. Granted, Jelani McDonald, I don't think is a good replacement, but if you do want to change your system slightly to be able to cover up for Jelani's or for Jesse's departure, Jelani would be a very high quality value here at number 60. Looked really good in person when I saw him as well. 61, the Bears go Yonze Pierre, Edge out of Alabama. The only reason I'm giving this a meh, because it's incredible value, I have no idea why he's here. The only reason I give it a meh is because it doesn't fit the Dennis Allen 6'5", 260 plus archetype. It just doesn't fit the defensive profile. If they can make it work, awesome. I just haven't seen it recently. 62, we have the Broncos going AJ Holmes, defensive interior, Texas Tech, hit. I mean, ultimately, AJ Holmes is going to probably be a first-round pick. He's been balling out. There's a clip of him going around, tossing around a guard like a rag doll. He's been above 15% true pass rush win rate. He's been a very, very good player this year. 63, the Titans go Carter Smith, interior offensive lineman out of Indiana. This is a miss for me. So first off, now we have two interior offensive linemen. Like, I absolutely despise Fernando Carmona for the dirty plays he's done, but he has been very solid on the field, and he's looked like he's, you know, gotten past being the dirty player he was. I don't see multiple interior offensive linemen being something that saves this team. I just don't see the return on investment here. I don't like the strategy at all. You have Kelly Jones, who I don't really think is a very good scheme fit with Salah's defense. I don't think that the interior offensive linemen make very much of an impact. And you have an edge rusher in Dylan Stewart that I love, but I don't really think he's going to be a wins above replacement guy on this defense when you do have these other holes that I don't feel are filled. In my opinion, in terms of the amount of picks the Tennessee Titans have had, I think that they're in a very dangerous spot for being extraordinarily disappointing if this is their return. I'd rather have kept all my players. 64, the Niners go Lucky, tight end out of Georgia. This is a miss. Lucky has deserved no praise into the top 64. I know you draft trades, but Delp was a better tight end than Lucky, and Delp went at like 70 or something. So I get it. It's a fit. It's a need for the Niners, but ultimately go after another tight end in a later round or draft. You should have just drafted Luke Reynolds in the first at that point. Granted, they went for Trevor Goosby, so I'll hold my tongue there. 65, the Chargers go Mateo Weigel, edge out of Oregon. Great pickup. That's a hit. Especially Khalil Mack. He should have been traded. I don't understand. That's bewildering to me. But Mateo, quality player. Keep him for the long haul. Titans go. Braden Pegan, wide receiver out of Utah. I have not watched him, but I cannot get behind this until I do. Granted, I'll give it an N-A because I trust Mike for having some of these dudes who just come out of absolutely nowhere. So N-A, but... Ah, heh. I can't get behind it. Dolphins at 67 go Tyler Thompson. Edge out of Louisville. I think he's a true junior, so this is still valid. This is a hit. Tyler Thompson's been electric this year, so you've got to give him credit where credit's due. That edge core in Louisville is fantastic. It's a big reason why they've been able to pull off some really strong victories. 68, the Jets go Kingston Viliamu Osa, linebacker at Notre Dame. Big hit. Knee is a big concern, but at the end of the day, in the third round, you're getting a high-quality player for a big position of need. 69, the Colts go Luke Montgomery guard out of Ohio State. This is a meh. I, again, we're just taking low value positions for a team that, you know, again, you don't really have to fill with big splash players, but ultimately, like, are you going to fill more of like the, the receiving side of things, the quarterback side of things in 2028? Like, are you really going to eat ---- that badly? just to tank for Kamario Taylor. It feels like there's a lot. This feels like purposeful tanking with getting high floor players, and it's just weird. It's a weird strategy for me. I do not co-sign on it. 70 for the Vikings, Bray Hubbard, safety out of Alabama. This is a mess. I think that's a little bit high for Bray Hubbard, especially when you have other players like Jalen McLean available. The Vikings are losing multiple safeties. I like the fit of Bray Hubbard. It's just a bit too early for me. Commanders go Jalen McLean at 71, this is a hit, it's a quality player I know some people have him as high as their top 10, um it's on me I need to have an updated grade on Jalen McLean so that is uh well overdue I graded Luke Talish before freaking Jalen McLean so again that's on me 72 the Falcons go Jade Maia, quarterback out of USC um this is a hit I mean it's somebody who had debate in round number two for them for that reason but you know a lot of quarterbacks don't go around two. They slip to three. Like does it make me feel a little bit better, sure, but you could have had Darian Menza in round two, and then you could have ended up drafting your tackle here still because Drew Azzopardi's here. I just don't like the strategy for the Falcons, even though they end up netting not horribly. They netted positive in terms of the player to ADP position. Buccaneers go Horace Lockett, defensive interior to UCF. I think this is a miss. Horace Lockett is a highlight machine, but his lowlights are absolutely dog ----. It's something that you draft on day three and you kind of fire it and forget. Cardinals go Terrence Carter, tight end. Not out of Michigan. He's out of Texas Tech. Here at number 74. I think this is a meh. I mean, it's a quality tight end, but it's like, I honestly, I'm going to change it to a miss since I'm not doing all the little sound effects and ----. That That's a miss for me because I don't think the targets are there. Especially if you draft a wide receiver higher. I just don't get it. 75, Texas go Dylan Riley running back out of Boise State. You know what, let's say this is a hit. Yeah, it's a hit. Dylan Riley's been balling this year. A lot of people, there's a big fan club of Dylan Riley. I like going running back for the Texans, especially in the third. you. 76, the Saints go Koran Hayward edge out of TCU. This is a meh. It's a meh plus because I like the speed that Koran comes off the edge. Multiple players on this team that are having a lot of success in terms of overall sacks. So I like the fact that we're getting to a good spot there. But I do like the future aspect of getting a player who's comfortable properly executing a nice little ghost move here and there. So I like the focus on edge. Vegas Raiders go Kenyatta Jackson, edge of Ohio State at 77. This is a meh for me. He's a quality edge rusher. I think he's a quality round four, round five type of guy. And he has the grittiness that works well with the Raiders mantra. So I think he'd be a great understudy for Max Crosby. I'm glad they didn't deal him. And it's a good fit. Just a little bit early for me. 78, the Steelers go Ty Benefield, safety out of LSU. I think this is a hit. Again, thank God the past two picks with Jarell Hill and Ty Benefield have been good. I would just. He's a quality safety who makes big plays. He feels like a Pittsburgh Steeler. I think he'd be a great fit. 79 for the Ravens to go. Isaac Brown running back out of Louisville. This is a great fit, and this is a hit. Basically a younger version of Justice Hill. 80, we got the Chiefs going. Reed Harris, wide receiver at Arizona State. This is a big hit. I've gone an X receiver for the Chiefs in the first round. I've gone Reed Harris for him in the first round. I think I mentioned Reed Harris earlier, so it makes a lot of sense. It's a good pick. It's 81, the Browns go Austin-Sierreville, the offensive lineman of Ohio State. This is going to be a meh for me. I don't think interior offensive line at guard is going to be that big of a position to solve for the long haul. You've got the talent there. Realistically, I'd look at right tackle. Like, you're not going to get, this is basically Austin-Barber 2.0, and I don't really think you need to pull that trigger. So it's really right tackle that I'd be focusing on at this point, not guard. But good value, really good value. 82, the Colts go Wayshon Parker, running back out of Utah. Again, this is just not moving the needle at all. This is a miss. Like, Wayshawn Parker's a good running back. But it's like, why are we doing that? Like, it doesn't make any sense. Like, strategically, this is just a bunch of picks that probably don't stick on the team for more than two years. Like, they're just kind of nothing burgers. Again, I love my guy Mike. I mean, he would rip me to shreds over the ---- that I do. So it's fair game. But 83, the Carolina Panthers go Sammy Brown linebacker to Clemson. This is a hit. Great value has had some missed tackle issues this year, but he's also had some really strong games as well. Patriots go Andrew Marshall cornerback out of Nebraska 84. This is a hit. He's a top 32 player for me. Ended up having a bad week this past week versus Colin Johnson. Or Collin Dixon, excuse me. And Collin Dixon's been balling. I got to get him a grade as well. John Nestor, corner out of Minnesota, goes to the Packers at 85. This is a miss for me. I hear John Nestor's like 4, 6, 5. He's productive in college. Going to leave it there. I haven't graded him myself. So again, TBD on that side. But based on everybody and their mom saying that this dude is just a pure safety, I don't really see the return on investment. 86, the Giants go Melvin Ciani tackle out of Texas. No idea why he's down here. It's a hit. Like, I think that you're just getting like a first round fringe quality player here. 86 is a great swing tackle. 87, the Bengals go Nick James defensive interior out of Pittsburgh. This is a meh. Nick James has been very productive. I've seen quite a bit of him, but he doesn't pass the eye test for me. It just seems like a lot of blue collar pressures. The Bengals could always use an upgrade on the defensive interior. I just don't know if he is an upgrade. 88, the cheese go Leroy Harris edge out of Kansas. That's a hit. Leroy has been phenomenal this year. He's a 270 pounds. He's a spags type of edge rusher. I think he ends up going probably first round in 2028. I don't really see him coming out this year, but if he comes out, I think he would end up being really like, he'd probably be a second round consideration in this coming draft. 89, the lines go KJ. What KJ Bolden safety out of Georgia. I'm clearly a hit. What's up with the hate for KJ Bolden? That's kind of rude. I mean, KJ is a first-round talent. Like, all right, 90, got the Vegas Raiders going, Bryce Hawthorne, defensive interior at Iowa. That's a hit. This team needs defensive interior play, and he's been phenomenal coming off a red-hot week with nine pressures. 91, the Jags go Jordan Faison, wide receiver on Notre Dame. This is a mess. Faison's a very good player. Probably fits the Jags pretty well, but I feel like you'd be, I would want him in a role where he could almost play similar, even though he's a lot lighter to Parker Washington based off his fluidity. Like, I just don't really think he provides a ton of value for the Jags. 92, the Steelers go Chris Marshall, wide receiver, Arkansas. That's a Steelers pick. That's a hit. 6'3", 210 plus, burner speed, really good separator, has some off-field concerns. But I mean, that is the Pittsburgh Steeler way. I think he'd be an absolute steal. 93, Broncos go Peter Clark, tight end out of Temple. Meh. Clark hasn't really done too much this year. I don't think he's garnered third-round consideration. The Bears go after a heavy safety here, and Alex McLaughlin out of Washington, also a meh. He's been really good in terms of the production, really good run-defending safety. I just don't really think the Bears are going to be spending a third-round pick on a 5'10", 220-pound run-defending safety. I love him to death, but... I mean, unless you're going to be moving him to like a Devin Bush type of role, I don't really think there's good value there. Bills go after Drew as a tackle to Washington at 95. Clear hit. Obviously, I have him as a top 50 player, so I have my opinion on him. Bills should be investing on a tackle spot for the long haul. 96, the Niners go Zabian Brown corner out of Alabama. This is a miss for me. I don't think Zabian Brown has the physicality to work at all in the secondary. You look at Upton Stout, physical. Thank you very much, Michael. Lenore, physical. Obviously, Renardo Green, physical. Like a price. Prysock, physical. I just don't really understand why Zabian Brown would be selected. I think if you look at Jet Jefferson, maybe somebody that would have been a bit better of a selection. But, all love. You know, that's love is not always super soft, but yeah, there are a lot of picks in here. I wasn't really a big fan of again. It's a November mock draft. Don't take it too seriously. But at the end of the day, I want to give you guys my honest thoughts. Love you. See you later. Peace.
