Who is it? Who is the one that will fall?

BleedingBlue2 : 4/3/2024 1:01 pm
There is one every year... someone believed to be a top pick by pundits and in mock drafts that falls in the draft. The guy that ends up being shown in the green room 100x as he falls. Randy Moss, Aaron Rodgers, Myles Jack, Brady Quinn, etc.

Who is it this year? Who is going to be the guy who falls?

I think the hype is all media driven
I'm not saying I think he will

But I will not be shocked if we find out that Daniels isn't as high on team's boards as he is in the media view of him and he slips some.
I think Daniels

there's a lot of recent hype for the guy, but don't forget:

* he spent 3 years as a starter at ASU with nowhere near the production his senior year

* a lot of his production came with NFL-level WRs

* he's skinny

* he always looks for the home-run play and takes massive hits

I'm not a scout and I don't even watch that much college ball, and I have no idea how he's going to translate into the NFL, but there is a chance he falls further than people expect.
Laiatu Latu and Cooper DeJean are strong possibilities

Major injury concerns for Latu and was even forced to medically retire at one point.

Cooper DeJean. Elephant in the room here, but what GM is going to stick his neck out in round 1 for a white CB with questionable boundary coverage projections? If Brian Branch is a second round pick, then DeJean could easily be a late 2nd or even third.

Excellent picks.

I think he has some serious warts in his game

Guessing a lot Giants fans who think the Giants absolutely MUST draft a QB will fall -- out of their chairs, when the Giants draft a WR at 6 -- possibly with one of the 4 QBs still available to them.

And Joe Schoen will fall into the unemployment line after going 4-13 with the SNT wide receiver and dreck at QB
