3/25/24
Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams, QB, USC
This is pretty cut and dry at this point, as it was even a month ago. Williams is an elite quarterback prospect and has a tremendously high ceiling.
Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
It’s obvious that Washington will select a quarterback but which one is a good argument. After signing Marcus Mariota, signs are pointing to Daniels who is an exceptional athlete with a strong arm and a ton of upside.
New England Patriots: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
The Patriots could look to trade out of this spot but I’m not sure that wo ..read more

NFL Day 2 Mock Draft
4/29/2022
33. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from JAX): Travis Jones, DL, Connecticut
This is a good spot for the Buccaneers and I would bet they will work the phones all day long to see if they can move down again and get another pick. A team that could be interested in a quarterback may come up to get one here.
34. Minnesota Vikings (from DET): Andrew Booth, CB, Clemson
The Vikings can continue to improve their secondary with a player that really could have gone in round 1 in Andrew Booth. Booth has good length and athleticism
35. Tennessee Titans (from NYJ): De ..read more

Demaryius Thomas (DEN) to Washington Redskins
The Redskins need to find a go to receiver. At 5-2 they are right in the thick of it with a real chance to win the NFC East. Paul Richardson leads wide receivers with only 246 yards. No one needs a wide receiver more than the Redskins.
Price tag: 2019 3rd round pick
Deone Bucannon (ARZ) to New England Patriots
Bucannon has fallen out of favor with the new regime in Arizona. He is on the last year of his deal and they certainly won’t be retaining him. For the Patriots, he can play his role as a hybrid linebacker/safety ..read more

Potential Day 2 Prospects

Potential Day 3 Prospects
Nick Westbrook, WR, Jr.
Westbrook starred as a sophomore and then tore his ACL in 2017. He has impressive size, but average athleticism. I don’t think he has the potential to get drafted anywhere higher than Day 3.
Marcelino Ball, FS, So.
Ball was a star during his true freshman season and then missed most of last year. He is a strong tackler and he makes a lot of plays in pass defense. 2018 could be a breakout year for him. I debated placing ahead of Westbr ..read more
