2024 NFL Draft General Discussion

[rossihunter2]

From a player standpoint, it's a benefit.

If Jayden Daniels declared last year, he would have been a day 3 pick. Probably would never see the field. Going back to school (likely due to NIL) has him positioned to be a first rounder.

I'm really surprised JJ Mccarthy declared. I thought he could use an other year. I don't see him as a first rounder, but that's just me. Feels a bit like Will Levis where it's more projection than production.

there's never any point for a QB to declare early unless they know they're likely to be a top pick

ive lost my board from last year so cant remember what it looked like but i remember all the guys i liked disappearing off the board before the trenton simpson pick

a few guys slipped into day 3, especially at CB and a few notable guys that i still liked but yeah not much

but 2021 was thinner than that i think... this group might be thinner than that one

that would be very hard to believe. Sucks

Wonder if the uncertainty around Jim Harbaugh played a big role in Mccarthy's decision.

I think he clearly got good feedback from the draft grade people

I wonder if we try and trade up in this draft due to the lack of talent on day 3 or maybe trade picks for future picks in higher rounds.

Was thinking the same thing. Or the opposite. Trading out of the back end of this draft into the next one

yes, I said that also. Totally agree

 

[UPennChem]

Lmao somehow missed that. Sorry!

Lmao somehow missed that. Sorry!

we also did that last year trading a pick to acquire Vorhees in the 23 draft

No surprise to see this is OL, WR, and CB heavy

Jackson Power-Jackson, damn. @Simba , this is such intriguing name value right here.

Here's my bet - if we pick him at 30, we get Jackson. He'll turn into Power-Jackson as soon as he signs a contract elsewhere in year 5.

In general it does look like EDC likes to gamble on the best athletes at the end of the first. Now, it's not pure athletes, it's the most athletic people that actually look comfortable playing football. Doesn't always work, but in that position I'm not going to argue against taking a shot on the most upside guy.

Amarius Mims (OT Georgia, mauler that moves like a TE), Chris Braswell (edge, Alabama, a much better version of Bowser that can do anything well), and Jer'zhan Newton (DT Illinois, undersized but very explosive penetrator) seem like guys he would covet.

Sadly it’s Jackson Powers-Johnson which is significantly less fun.

he just needs a surname change

he typed the name wrong but this dude is legit awesome - he's a pure IOL but dude has the easiest anchor you can come across - pops off the screen

i mean if he's looking for developing football players with elite athleticism at the end of the round i'd add:
- Tyler Guyton OT
- Troy Franklin WR
- Edgerrin Cooper LB
