DRAFT THOUGHTS AFTER NIGHT ONE
During every NFL Draft, some prospects get selected in the first round that no one saw coming (Hello, Jack Campbell!) and at least one top prospect tumbles down the draft board. Will Levis, the Kentucky QB, fell out of the first round even though he was thought to be a sure Top 10 selection. Medical issues were certainly a factor – his foot was flagged by several NFL teams – but Levis is far from a finished product and is not the second coming of Josh Allen. Levis’ wait should be fairly quick tonight. The Rams (36), Raiders (38), and Saints (40) are all possible landing spots for the strong-armed Wildcat.
The Steelers have a decision to make at the top of the draft tonight. Several teams are likely to be interested in acquiring Levis and the Steelers will listen. If they stick at #32, Joey Porter / CB / Penn State would be the likely selection. Porter, the son of the Steeler great of the same name, is the best player available and addresses a team need in Western Pennsylvania.
First Round winners
o Philadelphia. Eagles GM Howie Roseman has been operating on a different level than every other NFL executive. The Eagles had two picks last night and they knocked both picks out of the park, selecting Jalen Carter / DT / Georgia at #10 and Nolan Smith / LB-Edge / Georgia. Carter is immensely talented but his maturity and decision making are concerning. The Eagles are a perfect fit to provide him structure and mentorship. Smith, SNS #13 ranked prospect, fell to the Eagles at #30 and it’s like mana from heaven in Philly. Smith is a natural leader, is highly intelligent, and is a fantastic athlete with speed and agility to burn. Great night for the defending NFC champs.
o Houston. The Texans were aggressive in addressing their two major needs, selecting CJ Stroud at #2 and then trading up to #3 to get the best prospect in this year’s draft in Edge Will Anderson. The Texans came into last night with two significant needs and addressed both. Houston just got significantly better.
o Seattle. The Seahawks drafted Devon Witherspoon at #5, perhaps changing the draft plans of the Lions (see below), and then followed that with drafting Jaxon Smith-Njigba and initiating the run on WRs at the end of the first round. Seattle is in position to contend for another Super Bowl, at least partially because they have a draft plan and they execute that plan. Seattle should rule the NFC West in 2023.
First Round losers
o Detroit.
WTH?
Don’t get me wrong, I love Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell as football players. They are both solid additions to the team and have the character and attributes that GM Brad Holmes prioritizes. But the NFL Draft, when a team does well, it’s because they get value commensurate with the pick. It’s basic Econ 101. It isn’t so much about the prospect acquired but more about the opportunity cost of making that pick. The Lions selected Gibbs, losing the opportunity to select Christian Gonzalez and Calijah Kancey, and then selecting Campbell and losing out on Kancey and possibly Joey Porter (who should be gone by the Lions next pick (34)). Holmes has a plan. And he executed it. Time will tell if the fan base eventually agrees.
o Tampa Bay. The Bucs signed Baker Mayfield this off season but it seemed like he was destined to be the short-term starter. And perhaps, that is still the plan but you wouldn’t know that by how the Bucs drafted on Thursday. Not only did they pass on Levis but they drafted the ultra-quick and explosive Kancey at #19. Tampa has been predominantly a 3-4 defense the last few seasons and Kancey does not fit that scheme based on his lack of size, short arms, and power deficiencies. So, it remains to be seen how Kancey is incorporated into the Bucs defensive system.
Random Musings
o Expect Detroit RB D’Andre Swift to be dealt today. Detroit has no third-round picks and will be interested in acquiring some draft capital for a player who clearly is no longer in the team’s plans.
o Will Hendon Hooker be drafted before Levis? Very likely. Hooker was the better player in college and handles pressure much better than Levis.
o If Levis falls past New Orleans at #40, he could fall to the third round – an unfathomable thought just 24 hours ago.
