2027 NFL Draft Summer Quarterback Rankings

This summer I'm trying to set a personal record for prospects evaluated, and quarterbacks were first on the docket. Here are my top 10. For full scouting reports and background info on all 18 quarterbacks that I've watched (including some big names who didn't make the list), click the link at the bottom of the post. Rankings are overall stock assessments and do not factor in odds of declaring.

#1: Julian Sayin, Ohio State (Top 5)

Sayin is a laser-accurate field general with a live arm and smooth feet to navigate the pocket. He throws one of the best deep balls in the game and plays a far more mature game than his experience level implies.

#2: Dante Moore, Oregon (Top 10)

Truly elite deep ball thrower with few holes in his profile—he was a top-2 college quarterback last season, showing an enormous jump from his UCLA days. Moore has everything front offices are looking for.

#3: Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State (1st Round)

Yeah, he played for North Texas in the American Conference. Yeah, he never started a varsity game at quarterback. And yeah, his tape is legit. He executed now Oklahoma State head coach Eric Morris' scheme to perfection, attacking the middle of the field with confidence and plus arm strength. And all the foundational pieces that helped make him excellent last season will remain in place at OSU.

#4: CJ Carr, Notre Dame (1st Round)

Carr may not have the strongest arm in the world, but that can develop with age and added mass. What makes him special is his poise and decision making taking the reins at a power program as a redshirt freshman.

#5: Darian Mensah, Miami (1st-2nd Round)

Mensah has the weakest arm of any QB on the list, but he's all the most complete. His play-style is silky smooth but his processing is razor-sharp. Though not the traitsiest, Mensah's collection of skills screams "starter" in a play-action oriented offense.

#6: Brendan Sorsby, Cincinnati Texas Tech Supplemental Draft 2027 Draft (1st-2nd Round)

Fiasco aside, Sorsby is an excellent prospect. He's a big power thrower with plus mobility and good, moldable tape. He reminds of Jaxson Dart—by no means can't miss, but definitely give your franchise a chance.

#7: Arch Manning, Texas (2nd Round)

An incredibly polarizing prospect, most either seem to view as the #1 overall pick or a total bum. To me he's somewhere in between. His tape at the end of the 2025 season is clearly what we're evaluating—earlier on he was either playing hurt or scared or both. Down the stretch Arch showed real playmaking instincts and far greater consistency within structure, but I still think the #1 overall stuff is a complete projection.

#8: Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss (2nd Round)

One of the most thrilling watches in this class, Chambliss is tough not to like. He was beginning to light the world on fire during the Rebels' playoff run with some season-changing deep passes. What makes me so excited is how quickly this underrecruited, former DII QB is getting better. He's a tremendous outlier, but there are special qualities to his tape.

#9: Sam Leavitt, Arizona State (3rd-4th Round)

Leavitt '25 season was derailed by a lisfranc injury, and he didn't take the steps forward we were hoping to see. LSU's new starter has a cannon arm and some of the most brilliant moments under pressure that you'll ever see. He also has a laundry list of improvements to make if he's going to start in the NFL.

#10: Jayden Maiava, USC (5th Round)

I'm beginning to come around on Maiava, and I could see him climbing this list. With deadly anticipation, he plays quarterback with Madden Free Form passing equipped—all the toughest throws, all the time. The highest are spectacular. Unfortunately he's not especially accurate down-to-down, his arm is just pretty good, and, as you'd expect, he gets picked off a lot. It's tempting to call him a known quantity as a 5th-year senior, but there could really be something there.

18 QBs Written Up! (Click names for reports)

* I haven't gotten around to Josh Hoover or Demond Williams yet, but I'll likely watch them before the season

Draft Busts you haven’t given up on yet

Who are some Draft Busts you haven’t given up on yet?

For Me:

QB Justin Fields: in the past two year Fields has played in 19 games and has only threw 2 interceptions with not the best weapons around him. He is incredibly safe with the ball and I think if you actually give him some good weapons around him he could be an average level starter, but he’s definitely not raising the play of the players around him.

WR Jahan Dotson: Dotson hasn’t been terrible with the Commanders and was WR 3 on a Run Heavy Eagles. I think he’ll surprise people this year with the Falcons as their WR 2/3

OG Cole Strange: he took a step forward last year with the Dolphins and I think he’ll have a long career as a Journeyman Starter.

Edge Myles Murphy: Murphy has started out his career on a poor start, but looked better last year. I think he’ll build on that this season and when he leaves the bengals after his rookie contract expires he’ll get even better with a better DC.

Jalin Hyatt - The One Gear Wonder

Welcome to the Draft Prospect Autopsy series where I break down the final year of a player’s college tape to see what grade I’d give them, as well as what lessons can be learned in the process. The goal is to keep this as objective as possible - sticking solely to a tape grade while not factoring in any other factors. If you would like to see all the accompanying clips that go with each part, click the substack link below. With this in mind, let’s talk Jalin Hyatt!

https://birach.substack.com/p/jalin-hyatt-the-one-gear-wonder

Jalin Hyatt was the star of the 2022 college season. The performances he put on week after week - particularly the Alabama upset - took college football by storm. By the end of the year, Hyatt not only received a unanimous First Team All-American honors, Hyatt also won the Biletnikoff award as the top WR in college football for 2022. It's only natural he would then go on to be a dominant name in the 2023 draft process, finishing as the 42nd rated player.

Athleticism

RAS

Even though combine data doesn’t correlate with actual athleticism, it’s still worthwhile to analyze. For instance, it will come as no shock to those following this autopsy series that the lack of agility testing is telling in it of itself. But first, lets focus on that 40 time. On tape, Hyatt is actually faster than this time suggests.

Legit 4.3 Speed

Hyatt has true burner speed. In a foot race, he'd have the ability to go toe-to-toe with most players in the NFL, which is a high bar to clear. This is a trait that a player could utilize to carve out a role for themselves. The pure threat of a true 4.3 athlete stretching the field can be tantalizing for any NFL signal callers.

Stiff Hips

Although Hyatt has game-breaking speed, his ability to use that speed is severely hampered by his hip fluidity. There are a plethora of routes he ran where the perfect footwork was required just to even attempt to turn. Stiffness limits his range of movement options, so the footwork required for what he’s capable of becomes much more rigid, leaving more tells for defensive backs to trigger on. Wasted time during the route-running process will relegate a player to the bench and out of the league very quickly.

The Limitations of Stiffness

Can’t Turn Up Field

Stiffness affects every aspect of play, regardless of position. Take Hyatt’s YAC ability as the first example. The ability to catch the ball and then turn up field comes down to how quickly one can flip their hips. The level of stiffness Hyatt has severely limits his YAC ability to running solely in a straight line. Hyatt's hips are so stiff that he can't change direction without coming to a full stop. Again, wasted time and movement allows defenders to close space and make plays.

Can’t Adjust to the Ball

Now we look at adjusting for the ball. This is another area that fluidity helps tremendously. Think about it. The ability to manipulate your body to allow your hands to take the force of the football requires the ability to get your body around. Hyatt is simply too stiff to make these adjustments.

Can’t Turn with Speed

Here's the crux of why stiffness matters so much at wide receiver. Stiffness forces wider turns in order to maintain speed. Hyatt can only generate speed in the direction his hips are facing, so attempting a sharp cut would require him to lose most his speed, flip his hips, and then reaccelerate. That’s why you really don't see any of his cuts being sharp - he physically can't. It's not something you can coach out of him. It's the limits of his biomechanics.

Crossing Routes - Speed

This speed shows up on his crossers as well. Hyatt’s speed allows him to flash across the formation so fast that defenders don't have a chance to drop back into their zones. This is a matchup skill that can stress defenses into respecting Hyatt's speed, opening up areas of the run and pass games. The issue is that in the NFL, you will deal with contact downfield that slows you down. In the condensed formations the NFL runs, Hyatt is left at a massive disadvantage, since he can’t adjust around the contact due to his lack of fluidity.

Curl Routes

Even withs good footwork, the human body always has limitations. Take Hyatt’s ability to run curls routes as an example. Watch where he starts each curl and where he ends. Every single time Hyatt starts the curl at five yards and floats to eight. This is a coached movement designed to fit the route to his movement abilities. So why did this work in college and won’t work in the pros? Tennessee runs the “super spreader” offense - designed to stretch horizontally, while defensive backs have to respect Hyatt’s speed. These combine to create conditions where floating three yards on a curl is feasible. This doesn't hold up in the NFL, where condensed looks dominate and there is far less space to work with.

YAC Ability

The only real YAC threat Hyatt provides is pure speed. Every single play with significant run-after-catch yardage was just a straight line path created by good blocking and the offensive scheme. Again, the formations Hyatt ran in college gave him a lot of space and kept defenders away from him. That's not a luxury he’ll get in the NFL - not by a long shot.

Nuance

There is none

Hyatt's stiffness really hurts his game, but for most prospects it’s usually salvageable with some nuance. Unfortunately, there was no nuance to his game. There's no anticipation. There's no maximizing of his traits through footwork. There was no stacking defensive backs. It's just "Run the curl, go or crosser and make speed your whole game."

The reason this "speed or bust" profile doesn't work is the difference in college and pro hash marks. In college, the hash marks are wider by almost 22 feet. This spreads out formations horizontally, while the pros condense their formations to maximize the space on each side. There's a lot more contact in the NFL that wide receivers have to contend with, which an extremely stiff player can't survive.

Conclusion

I would have given Jalin Hyatt a Priority Free Agent grade (PFA). There's true 4.3 speed to work with, so it's always worth a try in training camp. Given the amount of contact Hyatt would have to endure at the next level, I really don't see a salvageable player here. His stiffness hurts his ability to handle contact and his ability to turn and avoid it. That's a profile that doesn't survive the NFL. I believe his hype came from a high-statistical season combined with an offense that only works at the collegiate level.

Collegiate production should be looked at, but never used as the reason for a grade. I don't believe it should even be used to cluster bust a set of prospects. The demands of the college game are so drastically different than those of the NFL game, that to compare them brings some major concerns. It's why you look for athletic ability, feel/instincts, and refinement. Do they have the athletic ability to play at the next level? Were they able to show feel and anticipation at the college level? How much refinement do they have out the gate? Raw stats can't show you this information. There may be a level of correlation, but collegiate production doesn’t equate to NFL success.

That being said, higher level data and aggregated data could have some reliability. The issue is that type of information is never available to the public - only agencies and NFL teams. Base, raw data at the college level is very misleading. Even pass-rush win rate heavily biased towards fast players who beat up on slower college competition. Data has to be analyzed to be useful, ESPECIALLY when projecting a player to the next level.

Alright my rant about stats and their place in NFL scouting is over. Stats and their use case in NFL scouting is a hot button topic and the ability to utilize them to benefit teams will always be up for debate. Let me know your thoughts on the role of stats in collegiate scouting! I appreciate you sticking around till the end and hope you join for the next installment!

Draft Performance Analysis

I put together a spreadsheet that relates nfl teams' draft success (in the form of all-pro hit rate) against metrics that measure distance from bpa. The source for the 'distance from bpa' metrics is the nflmockdraftdatabases 'draft grades' (mddb rank in the spreadsheet), which are a measure of distance from bpa weighted by round. I included 5 years of the mddb rank and a 5-year avg. There are also columns for ap hit rate rank and mddb 5y avg rank.

Turns out there is no statistical correlation between the two (ap hit rate and distance from bpa) if we look at the league as a whole over that 5y period. There are theoretically better metrics than AP hit rate, like whether a drafted player started, or drafted players' epas (or other player performance metrics), but i couldn't find that data. If i'm able to acquire that data I'll update the analysis.

ESPN NFL Draft Analyst Matt Miller reveals he recently had left arm amputated after serious car accident

"Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this. 

As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time.

Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time.
 
I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class."

I Think Texas OT Trevor Goosby Is a Blue-Chip Prospect

I've watched the tape on Texas Longhorns tackle Trevor Goosby and I'm convinced that he's the best OT prospect since Joe Alt.

https://youtu.be/Ob3zCuiFNFA

6'7 tackle with excellent play strength and legit fluidity, recovery athleticism, hand usage, pad level, and competitiveness.

Curious what everyone else thinks!

Redrafting the 2026 Draft: NFC and AFC West

This is how I would redraft for the NFC and AFC West after we saw how the draft actually played out. These drafts don’t correlate with each other so you’ll see the same players drafted multiple times.

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals:

Rd 1 Pk 4 Edge Arvell Reese Ohio State

I wasn’t the Biggest fan of Arvell Reese this draft Cycle, but it’s hard to argue that he didn’t have arguably the highest ceiling as a Edge and or LB in this draft. At 4 overall I think he would primarily play edge for the cardinals and be a huge help to their defense for the foreseeable future.

Rd 2 Pk 34 OG Chase Bisontis Texas A&M

I would keep this pick as the cardinals needed help at RG and RT. Bisontis should be able to step in right away and start at RG for the cardinals.

Rd 3 Pk 65 QB Carson Beck Miami

I will never fault a team for taking a QB in the Draft as there is no guarantee the next time you’ll be in position to draft one. Beck has the potential to become a starter in the NfL and sitting a year and learning from Brissett and Minshew will help him a lot in his development.

Rd 4 Pk 104 OT Drew Shelton Penn St

The Cardinals still need a RT and Drew Shelton would be the perfect developmental prospect for them that could potentially start as a rookie. Shelton would be a great addition for a team building for the future.

Rd 5 Pk 143 WR Kevin Coleman Jr Missouri

The Cardinals look like they’ll be running more 3 WR sets than 2 TE sets and Coleman is a great complement to Harrison and Wilson in the WR room. He would fit in perfectly in the slot and could develop into a good WR 3 for the Cardinals.

Rd 6 Pk 183 RB Kaytron Allen Penn St

With the cardinals not picking Love I think they still should draft another RB. Allen was a late round RB I loved that I think could’ve lead the cardinals Backfield in yards.

Rd 7 Pk 217 IDL Landon Robinson Navy

Robinson could develop into a good Rotational pass rusher on the interior and definitely worth a shot on in the 7th.

Los Angeles Rams

Rd 1 Pk 13 QB Ty Simpson Alabama

Again I will never Fault a Team for taking a QB. With Stafford on the team it’s almost Guaranteed that the Rams won’t have a pick this high again until Stafford retires or gets injured. Simpson can develop into a great starting QB in the NFL and I think McVay can get him there.

Rd 2 Pk 61 TE Max Klare Ohio State

The Rams have shown moving forward they want their offense to revolve around multiple TE Sets and Klare is a great player to help keep it working for the rams. Having him and Ferguson gives the rams two young TEs that can develop into great start for them for the future.

Rd 3 Pk 93 WR Chris Bell Louisville

I liked the Trost pick because the rams starting 3 interior offensive line players are free agents this offseason, but I’m going to pick bell to learn from and replace Adams at WR in the future. This would allow Bell to heal as a rookie and learn the offense before replacing Adams for the 2027 season when Adams leaves in free agency.

Rd 6 Pk 197 OG DJ Campbell Texas

Campbell is a young developmental player that would’ve been a great 6th round pick for the rams. He would’ve sat and learned for a year before replacing on of the leaving Starters for the 2027 season.

Rd 7 Pk 232 IDL Zxavian Harris Ole Miss

I am surprised Harris went undrafted and I think he would’ve been a huge steal in the 7th round. He would’ve been a good rotational player for the rams that I think would’ve eventually became a starter.

San Francisco 49ers

Rd 2 Pk 33 WR Denzel Boston Washington

Boston doesn’t exactly fit what Shanahan wants in a WR, but he’s a much better WR than Stribling and would’ve been a reliable target for Purdy that could’ve been a great possession receiver for the 49ers.

Rd 3 Pk 70 CB Tacario Davis Washington

Davis is a tall lengthy corner that would fit in perfectly on the 49ers defense. He would allow Lenior to move back into the slot if needed.

Rd 3 Pk 90 OG Gennings Dunker Iowa

The 49ers need a new LG and C. Dunker would easily start at LG for the 49ers and maybe could play Center if they wanted him to. He would help open up run lanes for McCaffery while keeping Purdy upright.

Rd 4 Pk 107 IDL Gracen Halton Oklahoma

Raheem Morris does best with slimmer pass rushers on the interior and the 49ers lack that. Halton will pair nicely with Osa Odighizuwa on pass rush downs as a rookie and help the 49ers not finish near the bottom of the league in sacks again.

Rd 4 Pk 127 C Connor Lews Auburn

Lews would be an amazing Center for the 49ers and would been a huge improvement to the offense. For a team that wants their offense to revolve around the run they don’t invest enough in the Offensive Line.

Rd 4 Pk 139 LB Justin Jefferson Alabama

Jefferson is a good LB that would be able to contribute to the 49ers Defense right away if needed. He’s smart and able to diagnose plays quick. His only downside is he lacks size and Length.

Rd 5 Pk 154 TE Tanner Koziol Houston

Kittle is getting old and I personally don’t see Tongues as the future starter at TE for the 49ers. Koziol is a great receiving TE. He’ll need to work on his blocking that is super important in Shanahans offense, but that something he could easily be taught. It’s definitely worth taking a swing on him in the 5th for the potential he has.

Rd 5 Pk 179 Edge Caden Curry Ohio State

Curry would be a great Rotational player for the 49ers that can provide some pass rush Juice off the edge. I personally think he was a huge steal for the colts and will surprise a lot of people as a rookie.

Seattle Seahawks

Rd 1 Pk 32 OG Chase Bisontis Texas A&M

I may get some push back from Seahawk fans for not taking Price, but I didn’t agree with the pick at the Time and still don’t agree with it. I instead have them taking a new RG that would help continue to build their Offensive Line.

Rd 2 Pk 64 S AJ Haulcy LSU

I agree with the Seahawks taking a Safety here, but I would’ve gone with a different Safety. One that in my opinion has more potential and is younger than the one they took.

Rd 3 Pk 99 CB Jermod McCoy Tennessee

Again I agree with the position the Seahawks took, but I went with a different player. I know McCoy has concerns about his knee, but his upside is definitely worth taking a shot on him in the 3rd.

Rd 5 Pk 148 RB Emmett Johnson Nebraska

Johnson could’ve been a great addition to the Seahawks Backfield later in the draft. He has the ability to lead a backfield in the NFL.

Rd 6 Pk 199 CB Domani Jackson Alabama

With the uncertainty around McCoys knee it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add more CB Depth in this Draft. Jackson has the potential to Develop into a starter in the NFL, but will start his career as a depth player.

Rd 7 Pk 236 Edge Max Llewellyn Iowa

I personally thought the Seahawks should’ve added an Edge During the draft and I think Llewellyn was a steal for the Dolphins. Llewellyn would’ve been a good depth piece for the Seahawks defense that could’ve contributed as a rookie.

Rd 7 Pk 242 RB Robert Henry Jr UTSA

Henry is a speedy RB that would’ve been a great Depth Option for the Seahawks backfield especially with Charb expected to miss time.

Rd 7 Pk 255 IDL Zxavien Harris Ole Miss

Again I was surprised Harris went undrafted and I think would’ve been a great addition to the Seahawks Defense. I think he can be a starting caliber NT and would’ve allowed the Seahawks to move guys around on the interior.

AFC West

Denver Broncos

Rd 3 Pk 66 IDL Chris McLellan Missouri

I agree with the Broncos adding more depth on the IDL high in this draft, but I would’ve gone with McLellan instead. He’s a better run defender and has more potential as a pass rusher than Onyedim has in my opinion.

Rd 4 Pk 108 RB Jonah Coleman Washington

I loved this pick for the broncos. Sean Payton has always used multiple RB in his offense and I wasn’t a fan of the Harvey pick last year and Dobbins is good but can never stay healthy. Coleman was a great addition to the RB room.

Rd 4 Pk 111 OT Drew Shelton Penn St

I would have gone with Shelton who went one pick later over Casey. I like adding Depth to the OL and both guys have the potential to develop into Good Starters in the NFL.

Rd 5 Pk 152 TE Justin Joly NC State

This was an amazing pick for the broncos. Joly could easily be the TE of the future after learning from engram for a season.

Rd 7 Pk 246 S Myles Scott Illinois

I liked Scott During this draft process and thought he would’ve been Drafted higher, but the broncos got a good player that I think will make the final roster.

Rd 7 Pk 256 QB Luke Altmyer Illinois

Altmyer is a good backup system QB. I think he would’ve been a good QB 3 and Eventual QB 2 for the broncos.

Rd 7 Pk 257 LB Red Murdock Buffalo

Murdock was a great final pick for the Broncos. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up starting in 3 LB sets as a rookie for the broncos.

Kansas City Chiefs (I hate how good their draft was)

Rd 1 Pk 6 CB Mansoor Delane LSU

This was a great pick by the chiefs. They basically lost all their starting DBs from last year and Delane can step in day 1 and be a big contributor on the defense.

Rd 1 Pk 29 IDL Peter Woods Clemson

This was great by the chiefs waiting and taking a great player that was sliding in the Draft. Woods is a Great Addition to the defense.

Rd 2 Pk 40 Edge R Mason Thomas Oklahoma

Thomas will provide some juice as a pass rusher for the chiefs and be a great rotational guy as a rookie.

Rd 4 Pk 109 WR Skyler Bell UConn

Bell would’ve provided a reliable target for Mahomes. They really just need someone who can stay on the field and be able to get open short and I think Bell could’ve done that for them.

Rd 5 Pk 161 RB Emmett Johnson Nebraska

Johnson is a great backup for Walker. After the past couple of seasons of having a struggling run game I think it was smart taking Johnson to be the Backup.

Rd 5 Pk 176 OT JC Davis Illinois

I personally think Davis can be a starter in the NFL. I think if the Chiefs took him and Moved him to RT they would have a future starter.

Rd 7 Pk 249 QB Garrett Nussmeier LSU

The Chiefs needed a cheap 3rd string QB and Got one.

Las Vegas Raiders

Rd 1 Pk 1 QB Fernando Mendoza Indiana

This was easily the right pick for the Raiders. It gives the their Franchise QB and a Humble one at that.

Rd 2 Pk 38 WR Denzel Boston Washington

I’m not sure how well Boston fits in Kuniaks Offense, but he has the potential to be a number 1 in the NFL and the raider should try to get that for their QB of the Future.

Rd 3 Pk 67 Edge Keyron Crawford Auburn

I loved this pick. Crawford kept standing out to me when I was watching tape on Faulk and I think he’ll be a great addition to the raiders Edge Room.

Rd 3 Pk 91 OG Gennings Dunker Iowa

I personally don’t think the raiders needed to Draft a guard high as I think the young guys they drafted last year will play better with better coaching, But Dunker fit Kubiaks offense perfectly and would open up run lanes for Jeanty.

Rd 4 Pk 101 CB Jermod McCoy Tennessee

The Raiders may have of gotten the steal of the draft with this pick. They Needed CB help and McCoy has the potential to be an all pro caliber player if his knee can hold up.

Rd 4 Pk 122 RB Mile Washington Jr Arkansas

Kubiak likes to use two RBs in his offense and Washington’s speed and run style fits in perfectly. I really liked this pick for the raiders.

Rd 5 Pk 150 CB Keith Abney Arizona State

Abney was a steal in the 5th and I think Taron Johnson is a one year rental for the Raiders and Abney would’ve been the future starter in the Slot for the Raiders.

Rd 5 Pk 175 OT JC Davis Illinois

As I said earlier I think k Davis is a starter in the NFL. He would’ve been a great pick for the raiders as he would’ve competed with Glaze for the starting RT spot and could’ve eventually replaced Miller at LT.

Rd 6 Pk 195 LB Harold Perkins Jr LSU

I think Perkins would’ve been a good addition to the raiders LB room. He would’ve competed with Eichenburg for the LB 3 spot as a rookie.

Rd 7 Pk 229 S Cole Wisniewski Texas Tech

The Raiders needed Safety Depth and Wisniewski could’ve pushed for a starting spot in the Raiders lack luster Safety Room.

Los Angeles Chargers

Rd 1 Pk 22 Edge Keldric Faulk Auburn

I did not like the Mesidor pick because he’s 25 as a rookie. Faulk is younger and while Mesidor has a higher floor Faulk has a higher ceiling.

Rd 2 Pk 63 OG Jake Slaughter Florida

Slaughter was one of my favorite OL prospects in the Draft and I think he’ll be a great player for the Chargers.

Rd 4 Pk 105 WR Bremen Thompson Mississippi St

I loved Thompson as a prospect and think he’ll fit in great in McDaniels vertical offense.

Rd 4 Pk 117 OL Travis Burke Memphis

The Chargers needed Tackle Depth and theirs also talk about Burke moving to Guard. He’s a project Player that I think will develop great with the Chargers.

Rd 4 Pk 131 LB Kyle Louis Pitt

The chargers need an LB on the roster that can be the future LB 3. Perryman is old and Colston has struggled staying Healthy. Louis would’ve been a great addition to the Defense.

Rd 5 Pk 145 IDL Nick Barrett South Carolina

Barrett does what Harbaugh loves from his defensive line and that’s defend the run and control his gap.

Rd 5 Pk 202 OG Logan Taylor Boston College

The Chargers OL sucked last year and they needed the Depth that Taylor Provides.

Rd 5 Pk 206 OG Alex Haucey Oregon

Same as Taylor, Haucey provides some much Needed Depth on the Chargers OL.

Get to know Temple TE Peter Clarke

Got a chance to interview Temple Owls tight end Peter Clarke, who was PFF's highest-graded TE last season and is a likely 2027 prospect. Really fun game, and we got to dive into some of his film and hear him talk about his style of play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw1EABJhQyM

Hope you guys enjoy this! Figured this would be the best place to share the interview since we go into some real all-22 film study.
