The 2024 NFL Amateur Draft!
At 1.1, Seattle takes QB Mitchell McGee
TE Meyer went 1.8. If he fell, I might have moved. Know who’s still on the board? Alcott
It’s 1.11. Should I make a play for Alcott? Alcott is 7.0 grade, 0.6 above any other raw players, and adjusted 7.6. Someone is takimg him before he gets to us.
Could I trade here for the 1.11 pick to ensure I get the only major player I want?
According to the draft pick value chart, the 1.24 is worth 740 and the 1.11 is 1250. So I would need to add 510 points. That’s the value of a high 2.nd round. Pick 39 over, 2.7 Is worth 510.
I can’t make this trade, so they grab a RB from the board . But at 1.12 is the first of defensive needy teams with Chicago. And I save 50 points by waiting until 1.12. Chicago needs LB, S, and Dt. I need 460 points to move up from 24 to 12. That’s pick 44 in the draft, 2.12.
The Bears won’t take a future 2nd for the trade.
You need a stud DT ot make 3-4 work right? I can’t not make this deal
I can’t get a future 6th or 7th and the 2nd as well
Players? They could seriously use a nice OG. Now I was hoping to extend OG Maurer as my starter, and then let either Bitonio or Scherff go, whichever falls in Camp. But I don’t have to. Chicago doesn’t want Maurer. Atlanta? San Diego? Sure! But not Chicago . They don’t want SS Kempthron either. Colts? Okay! Bears? Nah
I make an offer:
I give:
My 1/24
Next year’s 2nd rounder
The following year’s 3rd rounder
I get:
This year’s 1.12
Next year’s 4th
The following year’s 5th
I accept and I take Alcott and head to bed.
Who would have been there at 1.24?
LB Butch May? RT Dean Griffith? RB Frog Man Lotter? WR Erik Frederick?
The Bears take OT Griffith. I would have done the same. He’s BPA in my mind,
Frog Man goes 1.25
Frederick at pick 35
May 37
This great TE is falling. No one is grabbing him. Move up and make a play? Nah, I’m out of ammo for that. He goes to Oakland at 52, and we are at 56, so TE Hammers, almost made it to me!
At 2.23, take WR Colin Finch? LT Trenton henry? RB Jordan? LB Gerrity? I feel like Finch is the last good WR on the board. But Gerrity is good, and odd, while there are other OTs and Lbs out there. And yet, LT Henry is pretty solid. 1 red and three blues for Henry. He looks to be a pass locking specialist, which matches what you want from an LT generally, and someone guarding Arledge specifically. Both are good
But I have three Ots on my roster that can start. And yet, I have depth at LB and WR as well. So none of my three major targets are the top player that was needed.
So I go OT
Finch foes to GB two picks later
12 picks fall off the 3rd round. Is Garrity going to fall to me at 3?
Nape He goes 17th to the Bears. If you recall, they needed to up their D considerably.
3rd – With no obvious draftee that fell, who is my choice here? LG Harrison? Nope! TE Jon Franklin. Franklin is horrible at blocking, great at catching.
4th round? LG Salvador Harrison!
5.4 - LB Derek Newhart
5.23 – I’m taking a flyer on SS Zachary Jude. Horrible bars. Great combine stats for here, and affinity with my team
6th – LB Dexter tubs? Nah. A BAP on the board is DE Gibson. How is he still there?
7th - DT Tito Nelson
