Morgan's going to be a really good football player, IMO. Maybe not a LT, but I think he'll be an awfully good RT (and maybe a good LT) and worst case scenario is that he's a damn good G, IMO.
Mostly I think PFF let me be too greedy on my trade downs in the first round and that let me get Walker and Sweat with 'found money' in the 3rd round. [Reply]

#3 -95 - Christian Jones - OT Texas
Uses his hands well, with good hand placement to maximize his powerful punch. Jones shows impressive coordination between his upper and lower body when moving in pass protection. Shows good quickness and flexibility on reach blocks, and Jones has enough range to get out as a puller.Has the feet to adjust when he anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target. Jones will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where he could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
#4 -131 - Issac Guerendo - RB Louisville
The transfer out of Wisconsin is an ascending running back prospect who was finally able to get enough carries to show what he's capable of. Guerendo is built like a prototypical Badger runner, with a thick, well-proportioned frame. He was a much more decisive runner in 2023, but his cut-and-go burst is fairly average. He's not sudden but runs with appropriate elusiveness, using subtle side-steps to continue the run's downhill momentum. He can catch it out of the backfield and protect his quarterback, making him a suitable three-down backup. Guerendo's size, skill set and demeanor are built for an NFL workload, and he could sneak into a bigger role in the future if he continues to progress.
#5 - 158 - Xavier Thomas - DE Clemson
Thomas explodes off the line with a quick first step, with agile feet to counter inside and closing burst to finish plays.His fluidity and speed allow him to cover a lot of ground when dropping back into zone, and Thomas is capable of turning and running with tight ends.He has an excellent motor and shows the stamina to last deep into the fourth quarter.He shows good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.He’s flexible enough to bend the edge, and he’s at his best when he can use his quickness and change-of-direction abilities to counter back inside.
#5 - 172 - Dallen Holker - TE Colorado State
Pass-catching tight end who exploded on the scene at Colorado State after three years of pedestrian production at BYU. Holker lacks the size and grit for in-line blocking but can handle positional blocks in space. He has average play speed but might be able to crank it up a notch with better attention to it. Holker has the focus and ball skills to make the contested catch and should be capable of running most first- and second-level routes a team needs. Holker's production provides a window into his pass-catching ability, but he's a very limited blocker and appears to have a ceiling as a TE3/4.

NFL Mock Draft DB, assuming Sneed goes to Indy for #46
32) Xavier Worthy (looking less likely he will still be here)
46) Kris Jenkins (high character, high motor, vg athlete)
64) Mike Hall Jr (good interior pash rush, D line stacked for a long time)
95) Kiran Amegadjie (prob won't do much in yr 1, but LT of the future...hopefully)
131) Theo Johnson (lots of potential)
158) Jaylin Simpson (good athlete with versatility S/CB)
172) Tanor Bortolini (Allegretti replacement in-waiting)
252) Kamal Hadden (had elite stats last year in coverage...good project for yr 2)
decent injection of talent...if Worthy or Coleman are not there at 32, my hope would be to trade down a few spots for a team with a Nix/Penix boner and grab an additional 3rd or 4th, maybe get a starting-caliber IOL in 2025 or a Devontez Walker [Reply]

Definitely...the mock simulators I've tried have had it about 50/50 that Morgan is there at 32. I tried trading our 64 and 95 to get up higher for a WR, but even at 50 the best I could get was Pearsall. Although I was able to get Malik Washington later.
That would be a dream draft if that could be pulled off. I just doubt that Morgan is there at 39. The big BYU kid might be though. I would still prefer to nab Morgan. Anything after that I think we can go BPA whether that is WR, DL or CB. [Reply]
