Growing up NFL Draft Day was my Super Bowl. The entire reason for being in the business is I used to write Draft Books and sell them at the local magazine store. WQAM used to also have a draft party at Shula's steakhouse and use them on their show. Being a cowboy fan the Draft is what made our dynasty in the 90's. Jimmy Johnson came in and traded Herschel Walker to the Vikings. In return Dallas got multiple 1st round picks. It was a great day. The event like everything else has become very commercial and the first round is only shown now on Day 1. I will still watch tonight to see where the Florida players will go.

Mock Draft
1-Tennessee - Cam Ward-QB
2-Cleveland - Travis Hunter -Ath.
3-NY Giants - Abdul Carter -DE
4-New England-Will Campbell -OT
5-Jacksonville-Jalon Walker -DE (They always screw this thing up)
6-Dallas Cowboys (Trade with Raiders) Ashton Jeanty - RB (Should we believe Jerry that he makes a deal-Dallas needs a RB)
7-NY Jets-Tyler Warren-TE- (It was Kyle Brady Penn State TE they took over Warren Sapp which was legendary at Draft.)
8-Carolina Panthers -Tetairoa McMillan -WR Panthers need to help their young QB out.
9-New Orleands -Mykel Williams -DE
10-Chicago Bears - Mason Graham - DT
11-San Fransico-Will Johnson - CB
12-Las Vegas -Nick Emmanwori-S -Raiders always go off the grid. This kid has first round talent. A little high.
13-Miami Dolphins-Armand Membou-OT -Dolphins tackle retired - Tua needs to stay upright. If they dont draft a tackle-Grier needs to be fired after the pick.
14-Indy-Jahdade Barron-CB - When there is a run at a position this is what happens. Barron will end up the guy.
15-Atlanta-James Pearce- DE
16-Arizona-Emeka Egbuka -WR
17-Cincinnati-Greg Zabel - OG - Bengals need OL, DE and secondary help.
18-Seattle-Matthew Golden - WR- Lost DK. Need to replace him.
19-Tampa Bay -Donovan Ezeiruaku - DE- I would not be surprised to see them trade this pick.
20-Denver Broncos - Colston Loveland - TE- How to help a young QB out - Peyton likes TE.
21-Pittsburgh Steelers-Shadeur Sanders-QB
22-Los Angeles-Matthew Golden - WR
23-Green Bay -Maxwell Hariston - CB- Their tradition of not drafting a WR in first round continues.
24-Minnesota-Kenneth Grant- DT
25-Houston -Kelvin Banks -OT
26-LA Rams-Trey'Veyon Henderson-RB - Rams need some juice in the backfield. They have drafted receivers well after round 1.
27-Ravens-Malaki Starks- S- Ravens always draft well. Starks maybe the best S in draft.
28-Detroit - Trade to NY Giants - Jaxson Dart - QB- Detroit can fill its needs in round 2 and 3 and pick up some extra picks. Giants get their QB.
29-Washington-Shemar Stewart - DE
30-Buffalo - Jihaad Campbell - LB- Have no idea what the Bills will do.
31-KC -Josh Simmons - OT - KC had a guard playing tackle. They need to keep Patrick healthy. SImmons is a top 10-15 pick if not injured.
32-Philadelphia -RB Omarion Hampton - The rich get richer. They like to run the ball. Hampton should go higher but I still feel like most teams don't vaule backs that much.....
FSU Players
AZ Thomas-2nd -3rd
Joshua Farmer- 5th-6th
Lawrance Toafili - FA (Niners / KC/ Miami) will pick him up after the draft. Each of those teams like versatile type players.
Fentrell Cypress - FA
