With the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine officially coming to a close, many players have seen their draft stock rise and fall throughout the last couple of days.
Mock draft season is also in full swing, so this article will bring you my mock draft 3.0!
1st Overall Chicago Bears (via Carolina): Caleb Williams, QB, USC
The Chicago Bears, by way of the Carolina Panthers, will kick off the 2024 NFL Draft and have a big decision to make. Do you keep Justin Fields or move on and take Caleb Williams?
Despite not participating in the Combine, Williams is the clear-cut first overall selection. Williams has been viewed as a generational prospect, rightfully so, by many draft experts since taking the collegiate field for the first time in 2021 for the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Justin Fields era has been a disappointment for Chicago causing them to look in a different direction for the future. While you can’t place all the blame on Fields, he hasn’t shown the organization that he has progressed enough to be comfortable passing on a prospect like Caleb Williams.
Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, was electric in college for both Oklahoma and USC. In his three years of college football, Williams amassed 10,082 passing yards, 93 passing touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with a 66.9% completion percentage.
There is no doubt in my mind that Caleb Williams is throwing touchdowns to D.J. Moore in the Windy City next season.
NFL Comparison: Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (with shades of Kyler Murray and Aaron Rodgers)
2nd Overall Washington Commanders: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
North Carolina is no stranger to producing second-overall quarterbacks.
Before everyone in Washington starts panicking, Maye is nothing like Mitchell Trubisky outside of wearing number 10 at UNC. Remember, you scout the player and not the helmet.
With that being said, Maye would be the consensus number-one overall pick if it wasn’t for Caleb Williams. Maye has an outstanding deep-ball ability that coupled with his 6-foot-4 frame leaves coaches salivating at the thought of developing him into the next-best gunslinger.
In 2023, Maye had an up-and-down season but still put up lethal numbers. The Tar Heel signal caller ended the season with 3,608 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns, and nine interceptions while also adding another 449 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.
Washington is coming into a season with a revamped coaching staff and front office, leaving everything on the table.
They still can move Chicago off the first selection, but the price would be crippling for the team’s future if it doesn’t work out. Drake Maye is fantastic and would be the right decision for the Commanders.
NFL Comparison: Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert
3rd Overall New England Patriots: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
For the first time in over 20 years, Bill Belichick will not be the head coach of the New England Patriots.
New head coach Jerod Mayo, who has a background in defense, will be taking over a very discombobulated offense. The Patriots offensive unit ranked 31st in points per game last season with 12.9 PPG. The lack of offense can be attributed to not having consistent QB play, but with a top pick that will change.
Jayden Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, put on a show for the Tiger faithful in 2023. Daniels possesses a true dual-threat ability similar to Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and Bears QB Justin Fields.
Daniels excels at pre-snap reads and extending plays when needed, but his small frame will lead to durability issues. We saw Daniels take numerous big hits last season, but with the NFL game being much faster those hits can add up.
In his second season at LSU, Daniels took a massive step forward and ended his fifth season with 3,812 passing yards, 40 passing touchdowns, and four interceptions. As I mentioned earlier, Daniels is deadly on the ground and it showed on the stat sheet with 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns.
NFL Comparison: New York Giants QB Tyrod Taylor
4th Overall Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
The Cardinals have already committed to their franchise quarterback, Kyler Murray. So they won’t be in the market for a quarterback, allowing Marvin Harrison Jr. to fall into their laps at pick four.
Being the son of a legendary wideout, you would think his draft stock is due to his name, but that can’t be further from the truth. Harrison has shown why he deserves to be taken in the top five.
Harrison will be another one of Brian Hartline’s first-round wide receivers at Ohio State. Joining the likes of New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
In his first year as the Buckeye's true number-one target, he came down with 1,263 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns along with 77 receptions.
Harrison is currently viewed as the best non-QB in the 2024 NFL Draft.
NFL Comparison: Former NFL WR A.J. Green
5th Overall Los Angeles Chargers: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
The Chargers made a big splash by hiring Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh to lead his former team.
Harbaugh also brought in Greg Roman to be the offensive coordinator.
After hiring Roman, it’s expected that the Chargers will select either a tight end or offensive tackle at fifth overall. In a run-heavy offense, like Roman’s, you see them forgo taking receivers high in the draft.
Bowers has been a highly touted prospect and his stock has only risen.
The Chargers have a solid tight end in pending free agent Gerald Everett, who caught 51 passes in 2023, but L.A. can add a playmaker at the tight end position, something that you don’t see often. Bowers had 26 touchdown catches over his three seasons at Georgia. This would be a nice addition to an offense that already has Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.
NFL Comparison: San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle
6th Overall New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
The Giants are a team that could potentially jump up and snag a quarterback, but they are in a stranglehold with Daniel Jones’ new contract. With that being said, what is the next best way to use this pick? By taking the best available wide receiver.
We saw the LSU quarterback go third overall to the Patriots and now we’ll see their standout wide receiver head to the Big Apple.
Nabers has been near the top of the wide receiver rankings for a while but solidified his spot with an impressive 2023 campaign. The LSU Tiger put up 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns with 89 receptions in 2023.
Getting Daniel Jones more help is necessary, as he has never played with a true number-one wide receiver since being selected sixth overall in 2019. Nabers can be the first number-one in New York since Odell.
Nabers has a combination of speed and route-running ability that isn’t seen often from wide receivers. Adding Nabers would also take a lot of pressure off of second-year wide receiver Jalin Hyatt.
NFL Comparison: Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson
7th Overall Tennessee Titans: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
The Titans capped off their disappointing 2023 season by moving on from Mike Vrabel in a surprising move. The team then hired former Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan to replace the former AP Coach of the Year.
I believe that 2023 second-round pick Will Levis showed enough last year to get a real chance to be a starting quarterback in 2024. There are numerous routes the Titans could go in this draft, but using their first-round selection on the offensive line in back-to-back years is the right choice when working with a young quarterback.
Solidifying the left tackle spot with the top tackle in the class in Joe Alt, who was the best player on Notre Dame's line in 2023. Alt has only given up two sacks since the start of the 2022 season.
The Titans' left side would consist of Peter Skoronski, the team’s first-rounder in 2023, and Joe Alt, the team’s first-rounder in 2024.
NFL Comparison: Denver Broncos OT Mike McGlinchey
8th Overall Atlanta Falcons: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
The Falcons are in desperate need of a new quarterback and have no shortage of options. The team has been linked to both Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields heavily over the last week.
J.J. McCarthy is coming off of a season in which he led the Michigan Wolverines to a national title.
McCarthy, after a very solid performance at the combine, has jumped into the top 10 conversation. He does have first-round arm talent and is the style of quarterback teams believe can translate to the NFL game. McCarthy also rarely turns the ball over, throwing 44 touchdown passes with just nine interceptions since 2022, while not being scared to make tight throws.
Michigan didn’t ask McCarthy to beat teams with his arm because they were dominating teams on the ground with their 1-2 punch of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards.
J.J. McCarthy has an upside that teams won’t be scared to view high.
NFL Comparison: Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield
9th Overall Chicago Bears: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
With their second selection in the top 10, Chicago has another big decision to make. Do you give Caleb Williams another weapon on the outside to pair with superstar wide receiver D.J. Moore or do you attack defense and find your compliment to Montez Sweat? The odds are that the Bears can’t go wrong with either option.
I have the Bears finding their wide receiver two with Rome Odunze from Washington. Usually, teams would use this pick on a number-one but those are teams that don’t already have a top dog in D.J. Moore.
Odunze was a playmaker for the Huskies in 2023 and showed it off this past weekend in Indianapolis. Odunze had 92 catches for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns for Washington. Despite his big frame, he played both outside and in the slot for the Huskies with 30 of his catches coming from the slot.
This would be fantastic value for Odunze and likely the best spot for him to land.
While I said he would be the Bears’ number two next year, he realistically would be the 1B to D.J. This would be a fantastic start to an important draft in the Windy City.
NFL Comparison: Former NFL WR Larry Fitzgerald
10th Overall New York Jets: Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State
The Jets' 2023 season came crumbling down less than a minute into the season after newly-acquired quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with a torn Achilles. New York’s offensive line felt like a revolving door the entire time with the biggest void being left tackle.
The team thought that 2020 first-rounder Mekhi Becton would be the franchise tackle, but that hasn’t been the case for many reasons, and with him entering free agency using this pick on a loaded tackle class is the best-case scenario.
Fashanu was looking like the best tackle in the 2023 draft class, but decided to go back to school and enters another class where he is viewed as one of the top guys at the position.
At 6-foot-6, 319 pounds, Fashanu has all the traits to be an elite tackle at the next level and could step in on day one and be a difference-maker. Fashanu allowed only one sack in 21 career starts for Penn State.
You can make the case that we still haven’t seen the best out of Fashanu.
NFL Comparison: Jacksonville Jaguars OT Cam Robinson
11th Overall Minnesota Vikings: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama
The Vikings are in a weird spot at this current moment. The team is about to let star pass-rusher Danielle Hunter test the free-agency market with no certainty they can bring him back. Minnesota also has a potential need at quarterback if Kirk Cousins doesn’t sign an extension with the Vikings.
The team doesn’t have anyone opposite of Hunter to fill the void he’ll leave, so this will be the first piece of a rebuilt pass rush in Minnesota. Outside linebacker, D.J. Wonnum was second in sacks with eight followed up by veteran safety Harrison Smith with three. Turner, the best pass rusher in this class, is a 242-pound edge who had 22.5 in his three years at Alabama.
NFL Comparison: Carolina Panthers EDGE Brian Burns
12th Overall Denver Broncos: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
Latu has all the traits to be a star in the NFL and he would fill an important position of need for Denver. Latu ranked towards the top in total pressures last year for the Bruins. Latu has had two seasons where he put up phenomenal production.
The question with Latu was important and figured out at the NFL combine last weekend. Latu was forced to medically retire from football because of a neck injury when he was at Washington, before transferring to UCLA. While he was cleared to play for UCLA, there were other things that NFL teams wanted to pay close attention to. Latu’s medicals were clear for Latu.
Denver hasn’t had a star pass rusher since trading Bradley Chubb to Miami in 2022.
NFL Comparison: Pittsburgh Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt
13th Overall Las Vegas Raiders: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
The Raiders are a team where you could slide in the fifth quarterback of the first round, albeit, that would be a reach with the remaining quarterbacks on the board with the Raiders likely moving on from Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason.
This is the best spot for Vegas to snag the top corner and start to solidify a position of need heading into the 2024 season. Arnold intercepted five passes and had 12 pass breakups in 2023 for the Crimson Tide. Arnold can shut down whatever side of the field he is on, forcing the opposing quarterback to stick to one side of the field.
NFL Comparison: New Orleans Saints CB Marshon Lattimore
14th Overall New Orleans Saints: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU
Derek Carr’s first season in New Orleans wasn’t the most exciting for the Saints fanbase, but they have a lot they can build on in 2024. Chris Olave is one of the bright spots on the Saints offense and already has two 1,000-yard seasons since being drafted. Beyond that, there are numerous question marks with the future. The Saints are over the NFL salary cap by quite a large margin, meaning that they will likely move on from Michael Thomas this offseason.
Brian Thomas would be the third LSU player off the board within the first 14 selections. In 2023, Thomas led all FBS receivers with 17 touchdowns with only three drops on his 93 total targets.
NFL Comparison: Former NFL WR Martavis Bryant
15th Overall Indianapolis Colts: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas
The Colts are in line to lose Michael Pittman Jr. in free agency and will need a new number-one for quarterback Anthony Richardson. The best wide receiver left on the board is Texas’ Xavier Worthy.
Worthy saw an increase in his draft stock after breaking the NFL Scouting Combine’s 40-yard dash record with 4.21s, previously 4.22s by John Ross in 2017. Worthy isn’t the prototypical number-one, but could be molded into a top receiver in the NFL.
As a junior, Worthy saw a jump in his numbers from 2022. Worthy finished the 2023 campaign with 1,014 yards and five touchdowns off of 75 receptions.
NFL Comparison: Chicago Bears WR Darnell Mooney
16th Overall Seattle Seahawks: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State
Seattle is heading into the draft unsure of what positions they should attack. Currently, Seattle could go after an interior offensive lineman or quarterback, but I have them taking a pass rusher to fill a void with the best available edge rusher.
Jared Verse has been one of the best pass rushers in college football the last two seasons but was a little more inconsistent in 2023. You can’t doubt he has talent and with a 6-foot-4, 253-pound frame he becomes an exciting prospect for NFL defensive coordinators. Verse put up 18 sacks and 81 pressures between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, with 50 of those pressures coming from 2023.
NFL Comparison: Former NFL EDGE LaMarr Woodley
17th Overall Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
The Jaguars are a team on the rise but did have a disappointing end to the 2023 season after starting on a high note. The team has some holes on defense, mostly in the defensive backfield. There’s a chance that we could see even more holes in the defense with pending free agent Josh Allen.
Despite being at a school like Toledo, Mitchell put up an impressive resume in 2023 by not allowing a single touchdown pass despite being targeted 59 times. Mitchell also picked off five passes in 2022, but he gave up four passes that led to touchdowns. While he only had one interception, he was way more consistent. Mitchell saw another rise in his stock after good performances at the Senior Bowl and the combine.
NFL Comparison: Houston Texans CB Steven Nelson
18th Overall Cincinnati Bengals: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State
Fuaga has been another player to rise up the boards over the last couple of weeks. Fuaga has jumped into the OT3 conversation and could be another top tackle. Cincinnati needs to protect Joe Burrow, who is coming off another season-ending injury. Fuaga was a mainstay on the Oregon State offensive line and will have a jump similar to Bears right tackle Darnell Wright.
NFL Comparison: Detroit Lions OT Taylor Decker
This is an edge-heavy class with numerous guys that could jump into the backend of the first round in Chop Robinson and Bralen Trice.
Chop Robinson had breakout potential but didn’t fully live up to the potential. Robinson followed up his 5.5 sack season in 2022 with four in 2023. Chop Robinson tested well at the combine and should be expected to fall anywhere between the mid-first to ear;y-second come April 25.
NFL Comparison: Dallas Cowboys EDGE Micah Parsons
20th Overall Pittsburgh Steelers: Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL, Oregon
Powers-Johnson won the 2023 Rimington Trophy as the nation’s best center. Jackson Powers-Johnson would be a solid addition to the Steelers offensive line. JPJ had been viewed as an early-second rounder but quickly found his way into the first round.
Pittsburgh has been looking for that nasty center up front since Maurkice Pouncey retired after the 2021 season.
NFL Comparison: Denver Broncos IOL Quinn Meinerz
21st Overall Miami Dolphins: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa
Miami recently let go of franchise icon Xavien Howard leaving room for a new corner to slide in opposite of Jalen Ramsey.
Cooper DeJean could have been selected higher if it wasn’t for the injury that sidelined him toward the end of the year. DeJean may not have had a better 2023 campaign, but teams started throwing to him less and less as time went on. In his three years with the Hawkeyes, DeJean racked up 120 tackles, seven interceptions, and 13 pass deflections.
NFL Comparison: New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez
22nd Overall Philadelphia Eagles: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
The Eagles were a trainwreck toward the end of the season, capped off with a Wild Card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Eagles will need to fill numerous holes on both sides of the ball. Luckily, they drafted recently retired center, Jason Kelce’s, replacement in 2022 in Cam Jurgens. Defensively, they have needs at cornerback and safety, while also needing to address the pass rush that was lackluster at best toward the end of the season.
Mims would be a fantastic replacement for Lane Johnson, who could likely retire in the next couple of years. Mims stands at 6-foot-8, 340 pounds, and has a super athletic build that he put on display in Indianapolis. Pairing Mims with another 6-foot-8 monster in Jordan Mailata could be a scary duo for years to come.
NFL Comparison: Kansas City Chiefs OT Donovan Smith
23rd Overall Houston Texans: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
You can say that the 2023 Houston Texans exceeded expectations when they won a playoff game after building this roster through an excellent rookie class headlined by quarterback C.J. Stroud, but they still have multiple holes to fill. Houston does have cap space to make the necessary additions but they also have a few pending free agents that they need to address before the legal tampering period opens.
Those pending free agents include edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, tight end Dalton Schultz, and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins. You can expect Houston to flirt with the opportunity of using this selection on other positions, I expect defensive tackle to be the selection.
Byron Murphy is one of the best interior pass-rushers in this class. he had eight sacks in three seasons with the Longhorns. Murphy also brings versatility to line up anywhere inside the defensive line. Murphy is athletic and explosive off the snap while finding his way into the backfield most of the time.
NFL Comparison: Buffalo Bills DT Ed Oliver
24th Overall Dallas Cowboys: JC Latham, OT, Alabama
While the Texans saw a lot of success from their 2023 draft class, the Cowboys saw little to no production, outside of UDFA kicker Brandon Aubrey. Dallas is also on the verge of losing longtime offensive tackle Tyron Smith in free agency, so finding his replacement may be their best decision. 2022 first-rounder Tyler Smith has been excellent inside at left guard, but there are still numerous holes that need to be filled, especially, at both tackle spots.
Latham has started 27 games at tackle for Alabama over the past two seasons. He is a mauler when it comes to running guys over in the run game, but he's also athletic enough to excel at pass protection.
NFL Comparison: Kansas City Chiefs OT Jawaan Taylor
25th Overall Green Bay Packers: Troy Fautanu, OT, Washington
This is a deep and highly talented tackle class and gives Green Bay a chance to get its blindside protector of the future with David Bakhtiari only playing 25 games the last few seasons because of nagging knee issues. It certainly feels like the Bakhtiari era in Green Bay is coming to a close.
Fautanu, who started 31 career games for the Huskies, spent most of his time at left tackle making him the ideal replacement for Bakhtiari. If Green Bay does see a future at guard that is possible as he has a 6-foot-4, 317-pound frame and a play style that could fit the interior. Fautanu only allowed two sacks while playing nearly 1,250 pass-blocking snaps.
NFL Comparison: Former NFL IOL/OT Ali Marpet
26th Overall Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington
Tampa Bay is another franchise with looming decisions in free agency that could have ripple effects for their future, as quarterback Baker Mayfield, linebackers Lavonte David and Devin White, and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. are pending free agents that could hit the open market next week.
The team did make it official, during the writing of this article, that superstar wide receiver Mike Evans would be returning to the team after signing a two-year extension.
Bralen Trice has been a player whom I’ve been mocking in the first round recently. In his three years with the Huskies, Trice finished with 101 tackles, seven sacks, and one fumble recovery. Trice will be a project pick but would be the right guy to pair with the young stars on that team.
NFL Comparison: Free Agent EDGE Frank Clark
27th Overall Arizona Cardinals: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
Not much needs to be said about the Cardinals, as they’ve already made one selection in wide receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr. When this pick was acquired through the trade with Houston that sent Houston Will Anderson Jr. everyone expected this pick to come much sooner than the 27th overall selection. In 2023, the Cardinals used their first-round selection on Paris Johnson Jr. who spent his rookie season on the right side, but better suited to play left tackle in the future, the position he played his final season at Ohio State.
Guyton, a TCU transfer, would slide into Arizona to play opposite Paris Johnson Jr. The 6-foot-6, 302-pound tackle was someone that many expected to fly up draft boards, but not to this extent. Guyton excels at being light on his feet and agile but does struggle at times with pass protection. Tyler Guyton has physical traits that teams will covet and cause him to be taken way sooner than anyone else expected before the 2023 season started.
NFL Comparison: Houston Texans OT George Fant
28th Overall Buffalo Bills: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
The Bills are another team in a weird situation when it comes to what position they should attack in the draft. They need numerous positions, but with the way the board is falling taking a corner might be the ideal situation for a team in its competitive window like Buffalo.
Kool-Aid has seen his stock fall after a down season with Alabama, but add in the injury he suffered that kept him out of the combine, and teams have become weary. In his three years at Alabama, McKinstry totaled 93 tackles, two interceptions, and five sacks.
NFL Comparison: Atlanta Falcons CB A.J. Terrell
29th Overall Detroit Lions: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Detroit did land a steal in the second-round last year in safety Brian Branch, who had three interceptions in an excellent rookie season. While that wasn't enough to solve this defense's issues defending the pass, the Lions do have some potential to add a stud corner late in the first.
Wiggins was a lockdown defender in 2023, allowing just 4.2 yards per attempt as the nearest defender in coverage. The athletic corner tweaked something after running the 40-yard dash at the combine but should be fine for Clemson’s pro day. At Clemson made his presence known with 60 tackles, three interceptions, two returned for touchdowns, and 21 pass deflections.
NFL Comparison: Jacksonville Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell
30th Overall Baltimore Ravens: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., CB, Missouri
The Ravens' defense was spectacular in 2023, but defensive tackle Michael Pierce, edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, linebacker Patrick Queen, and safety Geno Stone are all expected to hit the open market and be free agents this offseason. I expect them to bring back a couple of those guys after franchise-tagging Madubuike, they will still have some holes to fill from those guys leaving. One thing the team the Ravens are lacking is depth in the cornerback room alongside Marlon Humphrey.
Rakestraw would be my sixth cornerback taken off the board in the first round, which would also be the most we’ve seen taken this high since the 2020 draft. The fun part of Rakestraw is that he can line up anywhere in the defensive backfield whether it’s in the slot or outside. While he had just one interception in his four college seasons, he did have 24 career pass deflections, so he’s not scared to make plays on the ball. I like Rakestraw's fit in Baltimore
NFL Comparison: Tennessee Titans CB Roger McCreary
31st Overall San Francisco 49ers: Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
Morgan is the eighth offensive tackle I have going in the first round, meaning that roughly 43% of the first round is either a cornerback or offensive tackle. The 49ers do need a right tackle, as current starter Colton McKivitz allowed many sacks during the 2023 regular season. The 49ers need to upgrade at this position and they are lucky that it’s a deep and talented class.
Morgan is one of the most intriguing tackle prospects and comes with a super high ceiling that won’t last past the 49ers selection. I love the way he moves his feet and handles twists and stunts. While he did start a majority of games at left tackle in college, he would be able to slide over to right tackle and get comfortable before the start of the 2024 campaign. Morgan would be the perfect prospect to start opposite Trent Williams.
NFL Comparison: Free Agent OT Charles Leno Jr.
32nd Overall Kansas City Chiefs: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
Do you expect the Chiefs to go with another position? It would be an understatement to say that Kansas City's receivers struggled this season, outside of their second-round rookie Rashee Rice, who many will argue is their top wide receiver. Chiefs pass-catchers dropped 38 passes, most of those coming from Kadarius Toney, during the regular season. I would be shocked if Kansas City goes another route with this selection.
Troy Franklin had 23 touchdowns for the Oregon Ducks offense over the past two seasons, including 14 in 2023. It may not look like it on film, but Franklin is a big, 6-foot-3 target who comes with speed and the ability to break tackles after the catch. I’ve been mocking the Chiefs getting a wide receiver in round one numerous times the last few seasons, as they’ve had a big need for one since parting ways with Tyreek Hill.
NFL Comparison: New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave
