  1. Round 1 Discussion: 2024 NFL Draft

    From NBC Sports...

     

    A five-star, top-10 recruit from the 2021 prep class who arrived on campus with high expectations, Mims logged 121 snaps as UGA’s second-team RT during their initial national championship run. He saw consistent part-time action during the 2022 regular season and was ready to step in and play major snaps in Georgia’s three postseason contests, with 154 of his 385 total snaps occurring in those high-leverage playoff games. He didn’t allow a single pressure versus LSU and Ohio State while recording a 98.9% blocking efficiency rating with four hurries and an 80th percentile pass block grade in his sophomore campaign. Mims won the starting RT job this year and was on his way to a standout season, earning 83rd percentile pass block grades in each of his first three games of the year before going down with a high-ankle injury that required tightrope surgery. He wouldn’t return until Week 11 when he rotated in for 35 snaps against Ole Miss and started two more games before exiting the SEC Championship game against Alabama after just 11 reps. On a per-play basis Mims was almost impenetrable, allowing just one QB hurry on the season with zero hits, penalties or sacks in 297 snaps. His 99.7% blocking efficiency mark led the entire Power Five last season as the brick-shaped RT finally was able to unleash his tantalizing physical gifts, albeit in a restricted fashion due to injury. Mims will join a Bengals offensive line graded by PFF as 2023’s tenth worst pass blocking unit.

  22. Round 1 Discussion: 2024 NFL Draft

    I posted this two days ago at 4:00 p.m. on another site (I might have posted it here, also, but I can't remember):

     

    John Lynch was quoted as saying that the 49ers have 22 players listed with 1st Round grades, which is higher on their board than their average number of 1st Round grades on a given year.

    The 49ers and John Lynch are among the very best at evaluating talent. They hit on more players than other teams do since Lynch has been there.


    So, one of the huge questions about the draft is, "how many 2nd Round rated QB's will go in the 1st Round and in the top-22 picks that would push some of this 1st Round Graded talent down further in the draft".

    For teams like the Bengals, who pick at #18, that's a huge question. If the board followed the graded talent that the 49ers have given, then that would make 5 players left for the Bengals to choose from that are truly 1st Round grades. Add in a team like the 49ers, who sit at #31, and they are going to be eyeing a trade into the early 20's to grab a player they think has fallen significantly. There's almost zero chance that the 49ers are going to not be active on the trade market on Day 1 of the draft. They'll try to make a trade with one of these teams:

    13) Las Vegas Raiders
    14) New Orleans Saints
    15) Indianapolis Colts
    16) Seattle Seahawks
    17) Jacksonville Jaguars
    18) Cincinnati Bengals
    19) Los Angeles Rams
    20) Pittsburgh Stealers
    21) Miami Dolphins
    22) Philadelphia Eagles
    23) Minnesota Vikings (from Cleveland through Houston)

    I went as far as #13 as I find it highly unlikely that the #13 pick will be owned by the Raiders when that pick comes up.

    Again, for every QB that isn't a 1st Rd grade that goes before the Bengals' pick, that's one more player that falls to them that they can get giddy about. Of course, many will be getting giddy about them.
