The intros have all been written. Let’s get into this damn thing.
You want to know who is going where…and honestly we do too. The fun of a mock draft is seeing how the board falls and what surprising moves teams will make. And there will be surprises this year.
1. Chicago Bears — QB Caleb Williams, USC
2. Washington Commanders — QB Jayden Daniels, LSU
3. New England Patriots — QB Drake Maye, North Carolina
4. Arizona Cardinals — WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State
The top four picks feel written in stone at this point. Yes, there’s buzz about New England liking J.J. McCarthy, but that doesn ..read more

We’ve all seen the mock drafts, the big boards and the position ranking. Those are fun and nice and a great look at players and value. But sometimes you just like a player. You might like his size, his fit on your teams or maybe just the way he throws the ball. For whatever reason we all have guys that we’re just rooting for. We often label these guys as “my guys” and we all have them whether we label them or not. Here are “my guys” for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Quarterback:
Bo Nix, Oregon — Let’s be honest, I didn’t like Nix at Auburn. It felt like there was a lot of hype around him and he never ..read more

The 2024 NFL draft is just days away and we’ve all read a million mock drafts on what teams might do (and we appreciate you readers). Today we’ll take a look at what I would do if I were in charge of all 32 teams. I’m sorry if you don’t agree but keep in mind this is just for fun. Enjoy.
1. Bears - Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Duh. Draft Caleb Williams. Williams has the potential to turn this franchise around for generations.
2. Commanders - Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
You have to take a chance on QBs. I’m not the biggest fan of this QB class (I think there is a lot of bust potential here) but if yo ..read more

Draft week is here, and that means it’s time to finally unveil our Top 300 big board. After months of watching tape, grinding workouts, talking to scouts, and making tough decisions regarding the ties amongst players in this class, we’re ready to show our work.
Dive in on the top 300 here; and come back every day this week for final 2024 draft content before getting ready for 2025 next week.
In this top 300, we’ll look at each player’s best trait—what makes them great—and their biggest bust factor. That’s the thing that could keep them from realizing their full NFL potential.

NFL teams aren’t just built through the first round. Or even the top 100 picks in a given draft.
Teams are built on Day 3.
Saturday has given us Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Trey Smith and Isaih Pacheco from last year’s Super Bowl. It also gave us some GOAT named Tom Brady with pick No. 199 overall.
We all know how important it is to find talent later in the draft. This post will help you do just that.

Evaluating players for the NFL draft isn’t just about evaluating the tape and looking at the stats. There’s a reason the pre-draft process from January until late April is as long as the actual college football season in itself.
That’s because the art of evaluating the player is an easy, straight-forward process while the art of evaluating the person takes much longer. It’s also arguably much more important.
Players are “red-flagged” by NFL teams for a number of reasons. It could be off-field issues such as poor personal character. It could be on-field issues such as poor football character ..read more
