  1. Corners tend to fall off a cliff around age 30, so I'd be concerned about having to rely on one as a starter without a capable backup

    Jayden doesn't throw over the middle or hang in the pocket on third downs, two things that are required to be good in the NFL McCarthy seems like drafting Brock Purdy in the top five

    Jayden Daniels and JJ McCarthy are my answers for most overrated After those guys I think the highly rated guys deserve it Dallas Turner is a popular overrated pick here. I think he'd be overrated in the top five where he'd go in some past drafts there were weaker at the top, but if he's falling into the teens, I think he's a good value. I think he most likely goes around pick eight, which is about right

    Usually when there's a far below expected bench, it's because the player couldn't train due to an injury (usually shoulder)
  12. If you're trying to game out who Houston could pick at #42, Here are the 36 players mocked to go in the first (or top 33) in either Dane or DJ's last mocks Caleb Williaims Drake Maye Jayden Daniels JJ McCarthy Marvin Harrison Jr Malik Nabers Joe Alt Dallas Turner Rome Odunze Taliese Fuaga Jared Verse Brock Bowers Michael Penix Jr Olu Fashanu Quinyon Mitchell Troy Fautanu Terrion Arnold JC Latham Laiatu Latu Tyler Guyton Graham Barton Nate Wigins Brian Thomas Jr Jackson Powers-Johnson Amarius Mims Darius Robinson Byron Murphy II Jer'Zhan Newton Kool-Aid McKinstry Cooper DeJean Chop Robinson Adonai Mitchell Ladd McConkey Jordan Morgan Xavier Worthy Kingsley Suamataia The names not listed who seem to have a good shot at going before pick #42 are Bo Nix, Keon Coleman, and Troy Franklin If Houston isn't looking to draft an OL at #42, a run on them (Patrick Paul, Zach Frazier, Christian Haynes, Cooper Beebe) would help push other targets down to Houston Some interesting names not included who could be there at #42 - Xavier Legette - Edgerrin Cooper - Ennis Rakestraw - Ja'Lynn Polk - Malachi Corley - Roman Wilson - T'Vondre Sweat
  13. Having a thumping ILB on the roster can be a useful club to have in the bag for certain matchups
  14. The guaranteed money will never be a thing at scale in the league until the guaranteed money in escrow rule is changed through collective bargaining. The rule is a silly one, but it hasn't been conceded yet

    Signing Cousins allows you to use pick eight on a non-QB Drafting a QB at eight allows you to spend more money in free agency There's not one way to eat a Reese's, I'm just pointing out that this isn't ground breaking strategy, and that there are also plenty of examples of failures where teams wonder the wilderness looking for a replacement level QB to fill out their roster. See Denver post-Manning.

    That's not a new strategy. Plenty of teams have tried it in the past, and nearly all have failed to win a super bowl

    Justin Fields is a poor fit for Payton's offense

    If Sean Payton truly loves Bo Nix and views him as both a day one starter and a second contract guy, then it's justifiable to take him at #12 and not risk someone trading ahead of you later in the draft to take him. I doubt he views him quite that way though

    Maybe DJ is off on Denver, but he's light years ahead of Kiper at this point, who appears to have gotten drunk around pick #28 while writing his mock
