Last year was just downright horrific.

You know what's worse? They still think they excel at drafting.

If the draft were held today this is exactly how the first round would go.



1. Chicago Bears (Carolina) - Caleb Williams QB USC
2. Washington Maroonskins - Jayden Daniels QB LSU
3. New England Patriots - Drake Maye QB North Carolina
4. Arizona Cardinals - Marvin Harrison Jr. WR Ohio St.
5. Los Angeles Chargers - JC Latham T Alabama
6. New York Giants - Rome Odunze WR Washington
7. Tennessee Titans - Joe Alt T Notre Dame
8. Atlanta Falcons - Dallas Turner OLB Alabama
9. Chicago Bears - Malik Nabers WR LSU
10. New York Jets - Brock Bowers TE Georgia
11. Minnesota Vikings - Jared Verse DE Florida St.
12. Denver Broncos - J.J. McCarthy QB Michigan
13. Las Vegas Raiders - Byron Murphy II DT Texas
14. New Orleans Saints - Olu Fashanu T Penn St.
15. Indianapolis Colts - Terrion Arnold CB Alabama
16. Seattle Seahawks - Troy Fautanu G Washington
17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Quinyon Mitchell CB Toledo
18. Cincinnati Bengals - Taliese Fuaga T Oregon St.
19. Los Angeles Rams - Cooper DeJean CB Iowa
20. Pittsburgh Steelers - Nate Wiggins CB Clemson
21. Miami Dolphins- Graham Barton C Duke
22. Philadelphia Eagles - Laiatu Latu OLB UCLA⁷
23. Houston Texans (Cleveland) - Tyler Guyton T Oklahoma

24. Dallas Cowboys - Amarius Mims T Georgia
Mims has even fewer college starts than Guyton, as he was limited to just eight over the past three seasons because of injuries and draft picks in front of him on the Bulldogs' depth chart. But when he did play, he made defenders look silly. Mims, 6-7 and 340, allowed zero sacks and just five total pressures across 372 career pass blocks. Will NFL teams be scared off by his limited experience, or will they draft him high based on his size and potential? I lean toward the latter, because he was that good when he got on the field.

To make room for Mims, the Cowboys could part ways with longtime left tackle Tyron Smith, who's a free agent, or have him compete with Terence Steele on the right side. He played right tackle in college but has the talent to play both sides.

25. Green Bay Packers - Jordan Morgan T Arizona
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Keon Coleman WR Florida St.
27. Arizona Cardinals (Houston) - Darius Robinson DL Missouri
28. Buffalo Bills - Brian Thomas Jr. WR LSU
29. Detroit Lions - T.J. Tampa CB Iowa St.
30. Baltimore Ravens - Kamari Lassiter CB Georgia
31. San Francisco 49ers - Chop Robinson OLB Penn St.
32. Kansas City Chiefs - Xavier Worthy WR Texas

Mims reminds me of Flozell the Hotel....if you could get another LT that will give you 12 years...take it.

Sweat plays a position where you only need 1 prominent player on the roster (then a reserve or a 3T who can hybrid). To take him with the first pick of Dallas’ 2024 draft is acknowledging Mazi is already a bust. Theres no way you can go top 33 NT in back to back years

Mazi is nowhere close to the player that Sweat is and never will be.

Plenty of players aren’t amazing their first year. Imagine running Demarcus Lawrence out of town his first year or 1-15 Troy Aikman. If you’re going to judge a player by 1 season, why bother drafting Sweat?

Nearly all great NT’s took time to develop. Do you draft sweat with the expectation you’ll be replacing him with next year’s first round pick? What kind of strategy is that?

Mazi seems to be a 3 tech now. Sweat is at least 60 pounds bigger.
