The 2024 NFL Amateur Draft
I have 4 1sts so let’s see if I can get some top notch talent.
The 21st pick arrives. Here is who I like:
Several Tes
DE Bert Curtain, bad endurance, very green, 65, 87 pots
CB Mark Alston - Okay and a great returner
C Clarence Tomczak - Top Notch C, very developed
DT Conrad Hastings - Very green, tons of potential (94, 76 pots)
LB Les Gerhardt - Poor pass rush, good everything else, very green
I did not list DT as an area of need because I have the very green Peter Berry from last year’s draft when I BAPed him. He has potentials of 63 and 71, with an endurance of 63, which is quite good. I’d be very happy to play him and grow into him. However, it’s obvious that Hastings is the best player at this pick. Hastings may be better, but it is not a position of need. Is Hastings so much better that I’d rather upgrade a bit at DT as opposed to getting a real starter at another position?
In the end I go with need. I take DE Bert Curtain.
Now my three picks at the end of Round 1 arrive. I just want to grab good players for my team. C Tomzcak was taken at 30. CB Alston went 23. DT Hastings went 27.
TE Rusty Cortez is strong, but not spectacular in any stat. TE Herman Deal is probably better.
WR Roger Keane - a strong WR
OG Bruce Holliday is okay
S Justin Sotiroff is alright too
C Bo Austin
All look good.
After the 1st, I simply BAP the draft.
Draft Recap:
1/21 - DE Bert Curtain, Florida State
1/33 - TE Herman Deal, Iowa
1/34 - OG Bruce Holliday, Mississippi
1/36 - S Justin Sotiroff, St. Mary’s
2/13 - C Bo Austin, Oklahoma
2/36 - LB Corey Davidson, Florida

6/19 - S Ernest Brownlee, Northwestern
6/36 - CB Damon Richardson, Washington State
7/2 - RB Eric Parmalee, Clemson
7/36 - TE Lamar Hitchcock, Northeastern
Not a great draft I don’t feel.
I feel like I could have drafted this draft much better.
