Time is up on @Zerovoltz and the Chiefs.  After the Chiefs went defense with the first three picks, mods have decided to address the other side of the ball.  WIth a thin WR group that features MVS and two smaller receivers in Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney, we have decided to add a bigger WR to the Chiefs roster.  Xavier Hutchinson, WR, Iowa State.

@IndianaJet Browns on the clock.  @32EBoozer Jets on deck.

Zerovoltz can change this pick anytime until IndianaJet makes the next pick.

The Cleveland Browns stay on the defensive side of the ball and select:

With the 112th pick the NY Jets select Moro Ojome DT Texas

 

Moro Ojomo

Texas sent five players to the NFL Combine this weekend, but none may have had more to prove than defensive lineman Moro Ojomo.

There was little doubt Ojomo would nail the interview and off-field aspect of the combine, but teams likely wanted to learn more about what the Katy product offered as an athlete.

As someone who bounced between roles at Texas, whether it be defensive end, 4i, or 3-technique, Ojomo was a consistently good player in spite of the switches, but the NFL is looking for consistently great. The combine offered him an opportunity to show that in addition to his stellar senior season, he had the tools needed to be consistently great.

He took full advantage of the opportunity. Ojomo ran a 5.04 40-yard dash with a 1.77 10-yard split, had a 33-inch vertical, and jumped 9 feet 4 inches in the broad jump. Plus, he delivered with 29 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. With his burst, natural leverage, length, and power, he bears some similarities to 2014 Pro Bowler Sheldon Richardson.

Ji'Ayir Brown:  Safety Penn State University

Ji’Ayir Brown NFL Draft Scouting Report

SAF, Penn State Nittany Lions

Penn State’s Ji’Ayir Brown is coming off of two of the most productive seasons a safety has had in college football in the past 10 years. He has been a force against the run, racking up 122 tackles the last two seasons and has also proved to be a ball-hawk by bringing down 10 interceptions in that same timeframe. The senior safety enters the NFL with a lot to like as a prospect and teams will be able to utilize his skills in a variety of different roles. 

Brown aligned primarily as a deep safety in split-safety looks for the Nittany Lions but has also seen snaps in the box and in the slot. Brown has above-average size for the position and is a good overall athlete. Brown displays excellent straight-line speed and burst, both as a run defender and in coverage. 

In the run game, he flashes a quick trigger and will come downhill to fill the alley in a hurry and he brings bad intentions when he does. Brown is a violent hitter who looks to deliver knockout shots. 

2023 NFL Draft: Pro Day Risers & Fallers | FantasyPros

Ji’Ayir Brown (DB – Penn State)

Brown flies around the field on tape, so it came as a big surprise when he ran a 4.65-second 40-yard dash at the Combine; at his pro day, he was able to improve on that, with a 4.58-second time, adding three inches to his Combine vertical and five inches to his Combine broad jump to put himself back in the early third-day discussion.

With the 121st pick in the NFL draft the Jacksonville Jaguars select:

TE Zach Kuntz, Old Dominion

The first NFL product from Old Dominion as a Sun Belt program, Tight End Zack Kuntz caught eyes with a standout performance at the 2023 NFL Combine. Blending a mid-4.5 forty with a 40-inch vertical & over 20 reps on the bench press into a six-foot-seven, 255 pound frame, Kuntz fits into the niche of high-ceiling freak athletes emerging across position groups among the upcoming generations of players.

With his given frame, Kuntz has proven to be a consistent mismatch-nightmare for defensive coaching staffs who lack the unique athletes to match such a threat. Too large for a box-safety, too nimble for an inside linebacker, Kuntz forces the commitment of additional & unique resources within a defensive system. This athletic challenge fails to fully translate outside of his pass-catching though.

With 34-inch arms, Kuntz outreaches the majority of defensive ends and would have tied for tenth among the defensive ends of the 2023 NFL Combine. Showing tangible strength with 23 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, Kuntz has all of the numbers to be a dominant run-blocker who functions in practical terms as a sixth offensive lineman with exceptional mobility.

His limiting factor though has been a lack of a ‘mean streak’ to his game which has become more common amongst receiving tight ends who model their game more closely to receivers than the highly-valued blockers who make the most consistent impact at the professional level. This is fortunately a shortcoming with rapid fixes and immediate payout once addressed.

Providing the modern red-zone, seam-busting monster that every offensive coordinator & quarterback salivate for, Kuntz must make sure to round-off the remaining portions of his game upon entering the league to earn his chance at showcasing his abilities working the boundary & framing-out safeties down the middle.

With the 123rd Selection in the JetsNation mock draft, the 3 time and current WORLD CHAMPION Kansas City Chiefs select..........

Dorrian Williams, LB, Tulane

 

 

 

Overview

Team captain with athletic, tapered build and eye-catching production. Williams looks and moves more like a big box safety with his bursts to the football and open-field fluidity. Lacking the size and strength to match up with NFL take-on duties near the line, Williams needs to become more adept at slipping blocks and staying a step ahead of the blocking scheme. His coverage potential and special teams background will give his roster quest a boost as a likely Day 3 selection looking to fit into a backup role as a Will linebacker.

Strengths

• Team captain and three-year starter.
• Plays with adequate instincts.
• Gets into blockers with proper knee bend.
• Sifts through traffic and identifies ball-carriers.
• Wrap-up tackler in the hole.
• Springy with quality burst in open-field pursuit.
• Fluid in zone coverage with man cover talent.

With the 127th pick in the NFL draft the Jacksonville Jaguars select:

OLB/ILB DeMarvion Overshown, University of Texas

 

Overview

Former safety turned linebacker who has slowly but surely improved his feet and recognition over the last three seasons. Whether playing inside or outside, Overshown will need to get stronger and more effective at taking on blockers and tackling with security. His tape shows much improved key reading and play recognition, which could prove critical in allowing him to play at a consistently faster pace to the football. Overshown could struggle to hold up to downhill running attacks, but his instincts and blitz talent create a potential opportunity for him as a nickel/dime linebacker.

Strengths

Made huge strides at the position from 2021 to 2022.

Displays adequate patience to diagnose and process.

Hustles downhill to meeting point when he trusts his eyes.

Excellent awareness to routes when dropping into coverage.

Athletic blitzer when his number is called.

Knowing Jonathan Taylor is coming off an injury and has seen a ton of usage the past few seasons, and that they’ll be starting a rookie QB, the Colts are embracing the importance of having a 1a and 1b (and Zach Moss ain’t it) by selecting Zach Evans, RB from Ole Miss.
