🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What about T.J. Daniel QB ( USC - U.Ga. - U.W. Va. - & Rice -U)
Thank you
Joe Milton 😂😂😂 What is Kiper smoking?
@@joshfrancis1372 Milton has the physical traits and a cannon of an arm...Get him to sit under Sean Payton, Sean Mcvay or Shane Stechen ( backup to Anthony Richardson)coaching for a half of year to work on his accuracy...Watch out
I’ve been watching Mel since I was a teenager/young man (I’m 65) and he still amazes me with his mind and memory. It’s unbelievable to hear him every year knowing everything about approximately 200-300 new players every year and he rattles off facts like he did in his 20s!
No Diddy
Gotta study
Ruke Orhorhoro sounds like something Scooby Doo would say.
Ruke is a bad man. I don't think offensive linemen will joke on his name too much once they find out what type of player he's becoming.
A chisled 6'4" and 295 before being in a nfl strength and conditioning program....with violent hands.
Put him at 5tech and let the fun begin
😂😂
I LOVE THAT FIGHTIN' ILLINI PROGRAM REALLY AS A WHOLE UNIT
MarShawn Lloyd, RB from USC is one of mine.
Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri is another
Lloyd fumbles too much! He’ll be benched!
If Dwayne Carter n Raekwon Davis end up on the same team they should drop an album.
Lol I see what you did!
Great call from Mel on MRJ. His best football is yet to come.
Where do they have ISAIAH ADAMS GOING ON INITIAL THOUGHT???
Mohamed Kamara is my guy I don’t know why he isn’t getting more hype. He has all the tools to be a stud pass rusher at the pro level
He was a monster vs Colorado
@@32jcueva I really like the player he is not getting a lot of buzz in the media but I won’t be shocked if a team takes him day 2 he is that good
He might be gone on Day 1. Don't be surprised. LOL
He only 6’
I got the cheifs taking him in the 3rd
Sione Vaki S/RB from Utah, can play multiple positions on defense. He can play RB or Slot WR on offense at a high level, had a 150 yard rushing game and a 100 yard receiving game, he’s that versatile and I hope my niners pick him up in the 4th-6th round, probably will be gone by then
This is my guy also... Go get a football player right
Hoping Jets take him at 111.
@@UTube-gs1yf they’re LB coach Ulbrich had glowing things to say about him at the Senior Bowl
Mo Kamara, Renardo Green, Isaac Guerendo, and Malik Washington are my 4 favorite sleepers right now.
Two of the four drafted by SF..
@@zinnsand21 And the other 2/4 drafted by Miami lol
Jalen Coker is a huge sleeper. Great hands, really nice ball skills, lengthy and physical, good routes and nuance in routes. Stud
This was good stuff.
Great show guys.
Thank you, I’m Mel Kiper this my burner account.we appreciate your comments & accept any & all hair care treatments asap man I need in 👴🏻
This episode was excellent! Well done!
WE GO DEFENSIVE BACK @ 47 & 70
Love this
Spencer Rattler if he goes to a team like the Rams or Vikings and learns under Kirko and Stafford he could be a star
I agree 100% love to see the Patriots move back gain some draft capital, take a left tackle and Rattler in rd. 2.
@@thomaskelly8571 Yeah that's actually not a bad idea and they could pick up Jacoby to mentor him
@@thomaskelly8571I'm a patriots fan die hard. He's to short 6.1 right.
My dream for the Vikes
QB - JJ McCarthy pick 11
RB - Tre Benson pick 42
C - Sedrick Van Pran pick 108
EDGE - Mohamed Kamara pick 129
CB - Kamal Hadden 5th
TE - Trey Knox 5th
ILB - Jaylan Ford 6th
DT - Demonte Copehart 6th
LB - Jordan Magee 7th
Texans drafted 6 starters from the 2023 draft class which is unheard of, CJ(QB), Will(DE), Juice(G), Tank(SLOT), Henry(LB) & Jarrett(C). I hope Nick can find a badass WR1 with their rd 2 pick in this draft, or trade up after picking a defensive player in rd 1. Nico is still under contract this year so if he was just a one year wonder then they don't have to over pay him next offseason and move on to the newly drafted WR from this upcoming draft in his second year to start becoming the leader at that position.
7 Christian Harris started I think as well that’s pretty nuts
Chiefs did that with nine the year before lol
@@calebmartinez4419 Even more crazy
Xavier leggett mark my words he will be a problem in the NFL
Wouldn’t say he’s a sleeper. He is a consensus late first round-early 2nd round pick
I agree probably my favorite WR in this draft
Agreed
Yeah he’ll be a problem for the team that drafts him 😂 he sucks
Shhh I want my falcons to steal him with they 3rd pick.
Audric Estime is so underrated
Best RB in the draft
This was actually a really good segment
Mel surprised me on this one
Love this show
Hidden gem RBs would find a crowded RB for the Lions, but one helluva situation for success.
A sleeper OT is what the Lions really need. OG versatility is a plus!
Gore Jr baby
When Conway Twitty and an Alien had a baby and dropped it on its head you get Mel😂
Haahahahahah
Blake watson is the real deal
So Excited to DEEP DIVE Into these Position Groups. looking at both these Teams. Lots of Young players making HUGE Impacts!!! #CowboysDraft LFG!!!
Mel Kiper is the TrenchesNews of the NFL
Bucky Irving and Mike Sainristil
My sleeper is RB George Holani from Boise State. Vision and footwork out this world. Mark my words...
Spencer Rattler folks. He won’t be a sleeper for much longer because he’s definitely going to light up the combine but that man is massively underrated.
3 guys from Mizzou. Javon Foster OT, Kris Abrams-Draine CB, and Ty’Ron Hopper LB.
Foster can play right away. Abrams-Draine needs to put on muscle and could be a good starter at CB. Hopper can play right away. Darius Robinson DE/DT and Ennis Rakestraw CB are ready as well but already projected 2nd round.
3rd round steel, LSU’s DT, one of the only bright spots on that D.
Honestly I’ve seen Troy Franklin drop out of the first round on the newer mock drafts and I don’t get it. I understand team needs might push him to the end of the first, but people taking McConkey over him seems very rich to me.
McConkey is a "safer" pick imo but Franklin has a much higher ceiling. Theres no way im taking McConkey over him
Panthers would love for this to happen
Great early DRAFT Show. Love the sleeper picks or UNDRAFTED PLAYERS. I hope the patriots dont blow this draft. Whats mel think.
Watching this as a Pat's fan realizing we need pretty much everyone AND a QB it's depressing..... Thanks Bill
He said highschool highlights I do the same 😂😂😂
Jaden shirden is a great pick great runner and blocks and catches very well.
Roman Wilson’s a dawg
Wr talent about to be crazy this draft.
Gabe hall-DT Tatum Bethune/omar speights/tyron hopper-LB Myles Cole-edge McKinley Jackson/maason smith-DT Jaden hicks/cole bishop-S Kiran Amegadji-OT
Go hawks!
Malachi Corley
He's not sleeper anymore
Javon Baker 💯
Kamara from Colorado st also
Anthony Gould will be a top 10 slot wr by his 4th year… him and Isaac G RB Louisville is a phenomenal prospect
I always love Mal. He's always on point can you tutor me.
Can’t wait to see the double pass between Drake Maye and Joe Milton.
My fave sleeper is cepheus of the Roadrunners
Xavier Weaver remember his name
Malik Washington is jacked and he will get you yards after contact I love this guy he has some Steve Smith in him he plays with an edge
WHERE IS MALIK WASH GOING TO BE DRAFTED?
@@user-cu6sd3iz7r hopefully the Patriots take him but I don’t think he will be there in the fourth rd and depending on how things fall there are bigger needs for their 3rd rounder so most likely they won’t take him
Rb class is going to be interesting. They look pretty good to me. I would like to see the Bengals get 1. 3rd-4th could be great spot for 1. Prolly be some good UDFA's also there always is. Looks like good NFL size in class, looks deep Rb class to me.
Not deep at all most of these guys are mid 2nd rounder at the earliest
Bottom line, this draft is deep. Really solid players top to bottom, even udfa quality this year.
Kiper on Jacksaint - "When you are 6 ft 1 and 205 lbs"
Graphic shows 6 ft 2 and 195 lbs
Troy Franklin
A youtuber recently uploaded a video blaming breakers for the jump in price of hobby boxes- would love to hear your opinion on that RUN. Its interesting cuz who in the world is walking into their local lcs and buying a box of nba prizm hobby for a personal break- makes no financial sense 🤔
I don’t understand the media’s narrative that Georgia doesn’t throw the ball, Carson Beck had the third most passing yards in the nation with 3,941 yards, conversely none of our RBs were near the top 20 in total yards. With 47% of Georgia’s plays being passes it’s pretty balanced, not run heavy.
There is one who could be a day 3 pic he could play on an NFL roster is Aaron Casey from Indiana he's all over the field
I think RB Rasheen Ali (#22-Marshall) is being underrated. Nobody's talking about him.
Xavier Legette all the way. Just need Baltimore to draft him!!!
Baltimore needs all the weapons they could get. ZF might be suspended next year and OBJ is clearly washed up.
Legette didn't have the best week at the Senior Bowl and he was measured at 6'1" instead of being 6'3" like SC has him listed at which is a big deal. His draft stock took a hit.
Dude that's gonna be a good slot wr in NFL is Jacob cowing out of Arizona
Luke McCaffrey is my sleeper and Jalen Coker, David White jr. All WR
I think the kid on Georgia, McConkel or whatever number 84, if you could steal him like early third or late second I think he could even go top 30 and he would be worth it, he will be Jordy Nelson 2.0
He's probably an early 2nd rd pick
He could easily go to Carolina at #33, Ladd would be a great compliment to Bryce's skillset.
Mel has been putting out his opinion for many years, he’s he ever got one right? I don’t remember one
Ruke Orhorhoro and Trevin Wallace
I like guys that get separation. I don't like college guys that make contested catches - on average.
Mike Sanistrill will make some GM look very smart
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint is a great receiver
My boy ladd from the bulldogs
QuanTez Stiggers. Remember the name
RICKY PEARSALL 👿
A 49er...
Ruke oh ro ro ro, great steeler 4th rd.
Mel's really got his preacher hair going strong
Hoping my New York Giants pull off a great 2024 draft class.
Renardo green
Definitely a sleeper, would love him with the Titans
To the Vikes please
Sedrick Van Pran, gonna be a stud at center for a while
MRJ couldn’t seem to separate at senior bowl. Just an amateur eye test but that’s what it looked like
Is Jordan Travis from Florida State a sleeper too
Joe Milton to Pittsburgh in the 4th or 5th
Love Malik Washington
Ravens IN EDC WE TRUST we boutta dominate the draft 😈
Tory Horton CSU
Ruke Orhorhoro is a Dawg. To me he’s not a sleeper. He’s only getting started.
Jordan Travis would be ideal backup for Patrick Mahomes
Still miss the Todd! Todd! Todd! interactions.
Screw the coasts, Midwest is the best
Jamari Thrash and Javon Baker will be sleepers mark my words 🫡
I like both of those guys but Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing are a few of my favorite sleepers
Thrash is nastyyy
I think we will have about 50 Jalen/Jalin/Jaylen/Jaylin's/etc... in the NFL by 2030.
Your list cannot be taken seriously when it didn’t include the following players. All potential sleepers with bonafide skills.
Khalil Jones
Ryan Keller
Corey Jones
Kevin Woods
Sam Lawerence
Josh proctor ohio state safety is going have very good nfl starting career in the nfl
WR: JORDAN WHITTINGTON out of Texas. Reminds me of Puka
Cade stover at tight end he will kill it in the nfl ! Ohio state did not throw to tightends enogh
Pro comp: Malachi Corley = Percy Harvin
adonai mitchell will be the best receiver in this class .
Joe Milton reminds me of a more athletic Logan Thomas. I also think that is the route he should ultimately take.
Nobody with an arm that strong is switching positions
@@TheMvp2011facts. He can be Josh Allen 2.0
@@TheMvp2011 You should see Logan Thomas’ tape. He’s Joe Milton.
@@JoFlirtyeah no 😂
@@JoFlirt Josh Allen was considered a project at the next level. He still looked infinitely better than Milton in college. Milton has awful mechanics, instincts, touch. He’s a much closer comparison to Logan Thomas.
Mel “I love length”. Well Mel, girth is more important
MEL....WHERE DO YOU HAVE BRENDEN RICE GETTING PICKED & BY WHAT TEAM
Oj Simpson #1pick
Javon Baker will be a star
9:25
Raise your hand if you’re here by your team didn’t make the playoffs 🖐️
Blake watson reminds me of Aaron Jones
Marcus got like 4 names lol
