Carson Palmer's exactly who we thought he was (going to be).

Give him a clear lane, and he hit's his receivers cleanly.

However, any time he see's a pass rush coming (even when there not there yet) he makes errant throws. And being at home,just ramps up the defense in their zone coverage to feast off his errant throws under pressure.

    • UPDATED----Now I feel very confident that Minnesota will use both firsts to move up to #4.  That changes a lot.  Here is the revised version-- 1. Chicago Bears Team needs: QB, IOL, WR, EDGE, DT, S, IOL  Commentary: Obviously the pick will now be a QB, and it is fairly certain that it will be Caleb Williams.  Pick: Caleb Williams QB, USC 2. Washington Commanders Team needs: QB, IOL, EDGE, CB, LB, OT, WR  Commentary:  The pick will be QB, and there is some debate about the style of QB the Commanders will draft.  After signing a backup, it may have been a tell:  Pick:  Jayden Daniels QB, LSU 3. New England Patriots Team needs: QB, OT, WR, TE, LB, DL, OT  Commentary:  The Patriots are probably going to be happy with QB#3 falling into their laps.  Pick: Drake Maye, QB, UNC 4. Minnesota Vikings (Trade)  Commentary:  I predict a possible trade with the Vikings for the Vikings 2 first-rounders in 2024 (11, 23) NOTE: The Vikings do not have another pick until round 4, so they could work out some future picks to get back into day 2….. Pick: JJ McCarthy, QB, Michigan 5. Los Angeles Chargers Team needs: CB, DL, RB, LB, TE, OT, IOL, WR  Commentary:  If the Giants make the move they almost have to make, the Chargers probably run to the podium with their pick–the best WR to come out in quite some time.  If the Cards sit tight and take Harrison, this pick becomes a bidding war between the Giants and Minnesota–so the Giants might get off cheaper dealing with #4 than #5.  Pick: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State. 6. New York Giants  Team needs: IOL, WR, EDGE, DL, RB, CB  Commentary:  The Giants just signed Jones to a long term deal, like it or not, so they can take a developmental QB in round 2 if that is what they want to do. While moving up for McCarthy was my original thought, the Vikings are hungrier and they will spend both firsts to move up to #4 for a QB with a questionable first round grade.  To me, that is what they have to do, while the Giants have options.  Pick: Malik Nabors, WR, LSU 7. Tennessee Titans Team needs: OT, IOL, WR, CB, EDGE, TE, DL, RB  Commentary:  The Titans’ biggest need is probably OT, and there are 8 teams who have a similar interest.  While it is possible that a team with a need at T or WR makes offers to trade up, I take the best OT if I am the GM.  Pick:  Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame. 8. Atlanta Falcons Team needs:  EDGE, IOL, WR, CB, LB, DL  Commentary:  The Falcons can focus on the defense and their biggest need is for an Edge.  Pick: Dallas Turner, Edge, Alabama 9. Chicago Bears Team needs:  IOL, WR, EDGE, DL, S, IOL  Commentary:  With the new QB, the Bears could go two ways here.  They could decide that Moore is the #1 and they can wait to get a WR in round 2, but their second biggest need, edge, was addressed with Montez Sweat last year.  They will give Caleb another weapon.  Pick:  Rome Odunze, WR Washington 10. New York Jets  Team needs: OT, IOL, OT, DL, QB, RB, WR  Commentary:  There is a reason you do not mock draft before free agency–the Jets signed 2 veteran OTs (Smith, Moses) and will probably start them.  With the top 3 WRs off the board, the Jets upgrade tremendously with an offensive weapon just as dangerous.  Pick:  Brock Bowers, TE Georgia. 11. Arizona Cardinals (TRADE FROM VIKINGS)  Team needs: CB, DT, EDGE, LB, OG, WR, OT.   Commentary: Minnesota has the #11 and #23 pick in the draft, and #11 will go to McCarthy if he lasts this long;  Penix would be a huge reach here and at #23.  Denver and Vegas are without starting QBs, unless Minshew is the starter.  Does that force the Vikings to take Penix maybe a round too soon?  While many mockers are taking an edge here, I do not, and they will hope the #23 pick can be for a QB.  The Pick:  Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State 12. Denver Broncos Team needs: QB, DL, IOL, S, CB, LB, EDGE  Commentary:  Surtain gets a CB on the other side.  Pick; Terrion Arnold, CB Alabama 13. Las Vegas Raiders Team needs: QB, IOL, DL, CB, OT, LB, RB.  Minshew is not the long term answer, but unless Vegas rolls the dice and goes after Lefty Penix, I don’t see QB right now.  The choice is between OT and CB, and OT is deep in the first round.  Decent CB talent can be found later.  The Pick: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State 14. New Orleans Saints Team needs: IOL, EDGE, DL, WR, LB, CB, RB, TE, Best value here: Jared Verse, Edge, Florida State  15. Indianapolis Colts  Team needs: WR, DT, EDGE, IOL, CB, QB, RB  Commentary:  This pick will not be difficult–the best player on their board fills their biggest need.  Colts run to turn the card in, if they still do that.  Pick: Brian Thomas Jr. WR, LSU 16. Seattle Seahawks  Team needs: DL, LB, S, IOL, QB, TE, EDGE.  Commentary:  The Seahawks primary need is two guards, and there does not seem to be much help in free agency.  Pick: Troy Fautanu, G, Washington 17. Jacksonville Jaguars  Team needs: EDGE, WR, IOL, DL, CB, IOL, S  Commentary: Gotta get an edge to become scary on D. Pick:  Laiatu Latu, Edge UCLA 18. Cincinnati Bengals  Team needs: OT, DL, IOL, EDGE, TE, CB, WR  With the addition of a rather substantial RB in the conference, the Bengals have to keep Burrow healthy.  Pick: J. C. Latham, OT, Alabama 19. Los Angeles Rams  Team needs: OT, IOL, CB, S, LB, WR, EDGE  Commentary: I wanted to go with Murphy of Texas to replace Donald, so I did.   Pick:  Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas 20. Pittsburgh Steelers  Team needs: OT, CB, IOL, LB, S, DL  Commentary:  Mason Cole C was a cap casualty and his replacement was not addressed.  While a T is possible here, with 2 new QBs, a Center is a must.  Pick:  Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia 21. Miami Dolphins  Team needs: IOL, EDGE, CB, IOL, TE, DL, LB Commentary: One of the best CBs falls to the fish and they bite.  Pick: Quinion Mitchell, CB Toledo 22. Philadelphia Eagles  Team needs: EDGE, RB, CB, IOL, S, TE, WR  Commentary:  The Eagles would probably prefer edge here, but there are a few solid CBs on the board that should fit nicely.  This CB can come up and stuff the run and play in the box if needed. Pick: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson.  23. Arizona Cardinals (via Texans and Vikings)  Team needs: CB, DT, EDGE, LB, OG, WR, OT Commentary: Corner is a huge need, and this kid from Iowa is special, can play any DB position.  Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa 24. Dallas Cowboys (12-5)  Team needs: OT, IOL, RB, CB, LB, DT, S  Commentary: Jerry Jones knows that he was not as successful in Dallas until he started drafting OL early.  This T can play either side, and since the OL is in flux a bit, it should be a sound pick.   Pick: Jackson Powers-Johnson, Oregon 25. Green Bay Packers (9-8)  Team needs: IOL, S, RB, EDGE, LB, DL, OT  Commentary:  While it may appear that he is a reach because he has shorter than desired arms, Jordan Love needs a LT now.  Between the tall Tyler Guyton and Jordan Morgan, The Packers could take either one and fill that need.  Morgan has more LT experience.   Pick: Jordan Morgan, OT Arizona. 26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers team needs:  IOL, EDGE, LB, CB, S, WR  Commentary: C Ryan Jensen is gone, and the Bucs need to address that position in the draft.   Pick: Graham Barton, C, Duke 27. Arizona Cardinals  Team needs:  CB, DT, EDGE, LB, OG, WR, OT  Commentary:  After trading back from #4 to #11 and #23, the Cardinals use the pick they got from Houston to fill another primary need with a good value.   Pick: Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois 28. Buffalo Bills  Team needs: , WR, CB, S, LB, DL  Commentary:  Bills will come away from this draft with a long-term replacement for Gabe Davis and a cornerback who can aid in replacing Tre'Davious White.  The find good value here.  The Pick: Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas 29. Detroit Lions  Team needs: IOL, CB, EDGE, DL, WR, S, LB  Commentary: The Lions were very good last season, but their secondary ranked 29th in net yards per pass attempt.  CB is the priority, and if a good one is there at the end of round 1, they will bite.   Pick: Kool Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama.   30. Baltimore Ravens  Team needs: RB, IOL, DL, CB, EDGE, OT, WR.  Commentary: With the Odell Beckham side show gone, the Ravens would add a WR to pair with Zay Flowers.   Pick: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon 31. San Francisco 49ers  Team needs: OT, IOL, EDGE, DL, IOL, S, CB  Commentary:  The NFC champs has several needs on the OL.  Fortunately for them, a T that can play both sides of the OL falls here.  Pick: Tyler Guyton, OT Oklahoma 32. Kansas City Chiefs  Team needs: OT, WR, DL, LB, S, CB, RB  Commentary:  This has to be Wide Receiver. Just has to be.  Pick:  Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia   33 Trade possibilities:  Denver, the Raiders, and maybe the Giants are likely going to make offers in order to move up for Penix or Nix–but I think Penix is going to be the target. Raiders:  44, 77 (roughly) to move up. Broncos:  76, 2025 second-round pick Giants: 47, 2025 second-round pick Eagles need an edge, and Chop Robinson will be there at 33.  They have 2 second-rounders later in round 2.  They have very few picks.  I could see the following:  Eagles 50, 53 to Panthers for 33, 101, 141
    • Just stirring the pot, I got no clue how Morgan operates. Plus sure the combine information is available, but not each teams doc evaluations.  
    • Time to see what Nadeau’s shot is all about.
