The Panthers traded away Donte Jackson, so they’ll need to find a new cornerback at some point.
If you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.
Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it at the top. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

Take a look:
You can buy it here. It has some NFL Draft-related topics, so like I said, if you want to support the site, this is a great way to do it!
The Seahawks aren’t going to beat the 49ers or Rams if they can’t pressure Brock Purdy or Matthew Stafford.
Grayson Murphy looks to be a sleeper in the middle rounds of the draft. He impressed at the East-West Shrine game.
The Patriots re-signed Hunter Henry, but they’ll need to think about finding a young tight end.
Jaheim Bell is a physical player who runs well after the catch.
Spencer Rattler’s fall finally ends. The Cardinals can draft a potential quarterback of the future with their 719th pick of the weekend.
The Chargers may lose one of Joey Bosa or Khalil Mack in the near future.
Mohamed Kamara projects as a 3-4 player only, but he has dangerous pass-rushing ability.
There are so many new talented receivers in the AFC South, so better cornerback play is needed.
Kris Abrams-Draine has plus athleticism, but needs to get stronger for the NFL.
The Giants will miss Saquon Barkley, so adding a running back makes a lot of sense.
Audric Estime is a powerful downhill runner who has quickness to hit the hole.
The Vikings lost a lot of defensive line talent recently, so that group must be replenished.
Jordan Jefferson is a tough run defender.
The Falcons signed Darnell Mooney, but he’s not enough to strengthen the receiving corps.
Xavier Weaver was a reliable weapon for Shedeur Sanders.
The Patriots need to continue to add protection for Drake Maye.
I’d be shocked if the Jets didn’t acquire a receiver at some point on Day 3, given their lack of weapons.
The Raiders don’t have much at running back, so they must address the position early in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Will Shipley was an efficient runner and a quality pass-catcher in college.
The Ravens lost three offensive linemen in free agency, so they’ll need to find some new blockers.
Layden Robinson isn’t very athletic, but he’s a violent blocker who has impressed this season.
The Jaguars didn’t give Trevor Lawrence the best protection last year, so that needs to change.
Tanor Bortolini played all three interior spots on Wisconsin’s offensive line.
The Bengals could stand to add another edge rusher.
Nathaniel Watson is a tackling machine who made tons of splash plays for Mississippi State. He had a strong week at the Senior Bowl.
A second cornerback makes sense for the Jaguars, given the receiving talent they now have to deal with in the AFC South.
Zack Moss is gone, so the Colts will need another running back behind Jonathan Taylor.
Frank Gore Jr. is a small, but tough runner with good instincts.
Yet another offensive lineman for the Seahawks, who need to strengthen the area of their roster.
The Steelers are another team with major offensive line issues, so they could spend multiple picks on blockers.
The Eagles have two great receivers, but they don’t have much depth at the position.
Denver has some depth issues in the secondary that need to be addressed.
Marcellas Dial has a good blend of size, athleticism, and speed.
The Bears don’t have much in their defensive interior, so they could address this area much earlier.
Brandon Dorlus is strong and disruptive at the point of attack.
The Eagles signed Devin White, but they could stand to add one more linebacker.
Jackson Sirmon is a quick and instinctive linebacker.
It’s shocking that the 49ers have addressed their beloved defensive line yet, especially after losing Arik Armstead and Chase Young.
The Buccaneers lost Devin White to free agency this offseason, so here’s a potential replacement.
Jeremiah Trotter has been able to flash all over the field.
The Packers could add a tight end in the middle rounds to give “No Cookie” Jordan Love another option.
Joe Mixon was signed, but he has struggled in the past two years.
Ray Davis is a very physical back who can catch passes well.
The Bills lost Tre’Davious White, so they’ll be looking for some cornerback help.
Johnny Dixon is a very quick and instinctive cornerback.
The Jets have nohing at tight end, so they’ll need to give Aaron Rodgers another weapon at this position.
The Ravens may want to add some depth on the defensive line.
Fabien Lovett dealt with injuries in his final season. He’s also had weight problems in the past.
The Chiefs need to get better depth behind Isiah Pacheco.
Carson Steele has a nice frame and plus receiving ability.
See where I have the Chiefs in my updated NFL Power Rankings.
The Eagles are expected to draft a running back at some point on Day 3, which is something they always do.
The Chiefs spent their first three picks on offense, so expect most of the rest of the draft to be used on defensive players.
The Jets need a quarterback for the future.
Michael Pratt was a consistent quarterback at Tulane, but didn’t stand out at the Senor Bowl.
The 49ers have a weaker offensive line outside of Trent Williams.
Christian Jones has plenty of experience playing at both tackle spots.
