NFL Draft Scout

The NFL season has concluded with the crowning of the Kansas City Chiefs, who won their second straight Super Bowl, and third in five years, by edging the San Francisco 49ers in an overtime thriller, 25-22. The Chiefs and 49ers now join the other 30 teams ready to improve their prospects for 2024 through free agency and the upcoming NFL draft. Nine teams in the NFL already started the reevaluation process by replacing their head coaches. Coming up at the end of February is the 2024 Indianapolis Combine, where hundreds of draft prospects will be timed, weighed, and measured, their backgrounds scrutinized within in an inch of their lives. These measurables, analytics, and profiles represents another building block for the April draft, which will be held in Detroit. I’ve been pretty conservative in the first two mock drafts posted already. Mock 3.0 takes into consideration some of the offseason moves teams may be compelled to make to stabilize their cap situation heading into free agency. Other moves will be based on the team's current draft capital, and what that leverage or lack thereof means in terms of landing an impact player in Detroit.
