New England’s wild offseason continues as they move back in the draft with Chicago
QB. Alabama. 15. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. MacJones. player. 57
The Patriot’s surprising start to free agency heads into the draft with the Patriots trading back, something not as surprising. With Chicago signing Andy Dalton to a one-year deal they will need a long-term answer, and that could be former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones. Jones was highly productive with pieces in play and the Bears have a good amount of weapons. With a Bears team being in a weird direction, it is possible that the team could use a quarterback for the future.
LB. Notre Dame. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah . Scouting Report. 16. player. 32. Pick Analysis
The Cardinals have made a push to improve this offseason signing three productive veterans. Adding A.J. Green, J.J. Watt and Rodney Hudson is extremely impressive for the team and exactly what they need. JOK is extremely fast and physical at the point of attack. Losing Hasson Reddick in free agency and adding JOK is a great replacement.
OT. Virginia Tech. 28. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. player. ChristianDarrisaw. 17
The Raider’s offensive line saw a major shift at Hudson, Gabe Jackson, and Trent Brown were all traded. It just means they need to add an offensive lineman and Darrisaw is the best on the board. Gruden will need to protect Derek Carr and Darrisaw is the best option at this point.
