A lot of hard work culminates with this three-day event when the NFL’s best and brightest young players hear their names called. They have been working towards this moment for years, and hearing those words read in front of a crowd at Lambeau Field in Green Bay is their biggest chance to do something special with the next chapter of their lives.
The first round of the draft is full of prospects with high ceilings. Shlain targets the Titans’ need at quarterback with Cam Ward, a player that should have a strong chance to develop into a franchise starter given his talent and current roster around him.
Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter is another prospect with a massive upside, as the Heisman Trophy winner is expected to excel at both wide receiver and cornerback this season. Shlain takes him with the fifth overall pick.
Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter is a highly-regarded rookie with tremendous upside. He’s a rare high-round player that is expected to make an immediate impact in the NFL. Cooterdoodle wisely exploits the mispriced ADP here, taking him one spot ahead of where he was predicted to go.
Round 3 opens with a smattering of classic alpha wide receivers, but Cooterdoodle targets a more intriguing prospect in the form of rising Colts tight end Tyler Warren. The former Boise State standout profiles as a high-volume target earner thanks to his speed and strength to evade blocks and overpower offensive linemen.
