NFL 2024 First Round Draft Grades!

NFL 2024 First Round Draft Grades!

Day One of the 2024 NFL Draft is wrapped. Do you know what happens next? Yes, Day TWO, of course. But we also get to critique each pick that was made from Day One and give each team a letter grade on the day. There were some obvious picks, up until about pick #5, and then things went a little sideways...per usual. Some GMs pulled it off very nicely, others made you scratch your head, and then some made you wonder how they got their jobs…and why they still have them. Let’s dive in, starting with pick #1:Chicago Bears: QB,…

2024 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

2024 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

I'm a little later than other bigger sites to be putting out the first version of a mock draft, but there are reasons for that. First, because I like to wait until the first wave of free agency mayhem dies off. Second, most of the scouting, pro-days, and visits have been completed. Third, because I have full time job outside of this, so cut me some slack, alright? We are still a month away from the 2024 NFL draft, so I'm sure this will be just one of many changing mock drafts. Leave some comments and let me know what…
