Sam Monson

Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos trading into the top 3 for a franchise QB is one of several NFL Draft scenarios Sam Monson Steve Palazzolo would like to see come true.

• Small school, big-time talent: Mitchell coming out of Toledo is notable in today's current college football landscape.

Our experts select Michigan's Blake Corum and Texas' Jonathon Brooks as the best available running backs in the 2024 NFL Draft.

• The Patriots are in line to receive a massive trade haul if they play their cards right: New England could gain significant draft capital by trading back from No. 3, all while still drafting a quarterback later on.

Sam Monson & Steve Palazzolo debate what the Patriots should do with the 3rd overall pick in the NFL Draft presuming Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels go 1-2.

Troy Franklin will get labeled as a one-dimensional deep threat, but there is more route-running nuance to his game than that.

• The conversation should still be between Joe Alt and Fashanu for OT1: Fashanu has a weakness in run blocking, but he excels at the most important part of offensive line play.

• Could 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk be on the move? The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been rumored as an interested party in Aiyuk, and trading the No. 20 pick for him would be good business.

• Colts secure a top-tier draft class: Laiatu Latu and Adonai Mitchell represent excellent value selections and provide tremendous upside.

What the Falcons have done is essentially value a succession plan above any single player they could select at No. 8 overall. That’s certainly unusual, but it’s not crazy.
