Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xfalpha/MITB was this past week, and I’m not sure if I would consider it good, but it at least seemed like they tried. There is a WWE style, and those matches are built for crowds, so even a very good match like McIntyre and Rollins can’t totally hit without one.
As for the MITB match, it at least tried to be something. Asuka is amazing. They realized there’s no crowd so they have to do something different, and they had cameos from people. Did it achieve humor? No, it was not funny, but it was slightly amusing, and at least they tried. WWE has so much talent that just the tiniest bit of effort makes things worth watching, and they continued that on Raw.
Becky is pregnant, and Shayna Baszler threw the most shade imaginable. But most interesting is what it means for Seth Rollins as his character took a hilariously dark turn that has me compelled to keep watching. Will it end with it being announced that Hornswoggle’s baby? Yeah, that sounds about right, but maybe not, and that’s enough to hook me in.
The IIconics are back, so you know I’m all about that lifestyle, although nontitle wins are the dumbest shit ever.
Also Charly Caruso dropped the greatest line ever about Edge and Orton having a no-stipulation match. “If this happens, it could be the greatest wrestling match ever.” I have to watch that now.
AFC West
Denver Broncos
Round 1 (15): WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama - Pure route runner that seems to effortlessly create separation. A lot of Amari Cooper comps, but Adam Thielen might be the most fitting.
Round 2 (46): WR KJ Hamler, Penn State - He is very fast and dangerous. He also very can’t catch.
Round 3 (77): CB Michael Ojemudia, Iowa - Cornerback with good length, but he was never a game changer for Iowa. He was good on the outside, but not a shutdown corner. He’s probably more of a depth player than a quality starter.
Round 3 (83): C Lloyd Cushenberry, LSU - I don’t think it’s ever a bad idea to take an interior offensive lineman from a school that set the world on fire on offense this past season.
Round 3 (95): DI McTelvin Agim, Arkansas
Round 4 (118): TE Albert Okuwuegbunam, Missouri - If you reversed his production from freshman to junior seasons, he’s probably a second round pick based on a 4.49 40 at 256 pounds. I think Missouri was just poor at utilizing him, and I think this could be a massive steal. He’s an excellent athlete who gives the Broncos the most athletic tight ends in the league, although there is a lot of overlap in what Albert O and Noah Fant bring to the table.
Round 5 (178): LB Justin Strnad, Wake Forest
Round 6 (181): IOL Netane Muti, Fresno State - Could be a real steal as an interior offensive lineman. Had impressive play at Fresno State, and more importantly 44 bench press reps. Hell yeah.
Round 7 (252): WR Tyrie Cleveland, Florida
Round 7 (254): Edge Derrek Tuzka, NDSU
Undrafted: Riley Neal - Quarterback who wasn’t all that good at Ball State, and then he wasn’t all that good at Vanderbilt. He is 6’6” though.
Kansas City Chiefs
Round 1 (32): RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU - Can hurt you running or catching the ball out of the backfield since he had 55 catches out of the back field. The man is only 5’7” which makes my heart flutter with joy, and most importantly, when you watch LSU, defenders did not want to tackle him. He’s a damn bowling ball and fits the Chiefs offense perfectly.
Round 2 (63): LB Willie Gay Jr., Mississippi State - And I love this pick even more. Willie Gay is an absolute monster at middle linebacker, and it’s stupid he fell this far. He may not have had stats due to academic issues, but this guy can do it all on the field.
Round 3 (96): OT Lucas Niang, TCU
Round 4 (138): S L’Jarius Sneed, LA Tech
Round 5 (177): Edge Mike Danna, Michigan
Round 7 (238): CB Thakarius Keyes, Tulane
Undrafted: Lavert Hill - Cornerback out of Michigan that originally committed to Iowa. Not a full-time starter, but he still managed six interceptions in three years so he has good abilities tracking the ball. Has potential as a nickel.
Shea Patterson - Five-star quarterback who beat out Jordan Ta’amu as a Freshman. He wasn’t very good ever at throwing a football accurately, but that’s neither here nor there.
Las Vegas Raiders
Round 1 (12): WR Henry Ruggs III, Alabama - The most Raiders pick possible. This man is speed on speed on speed. He is about as explosive as it gets, and he has the best chance of turning into Tyreek Hill that we have seen in the last few years. Also, unlike many failed speed guys, Ruggs does know how to catch a football.
Round 1 (19): CB Damon Arnette, Ohio State - He’s been the bad corner on Ohio State for 3.5 years after a redshirt. Not athletic, fifth-year senior, and somehow rose up draft boards late in the process because he played an important position for a name program. I’m not a fan.
Round 3 (80): RB Lynn Bowden Jr., Kentucky - Just watch the fumbled punt and try not to fall in love. He played wide receiver, running back, and quarterback for Kentucky, and he’s probably your best bet to become a Taysom Hill like weapon for an offense. He was maybe the most fun player in college football last year.
Round 3 (81): WR Bryan Edwards, South Carolina
Round 3 (100): S/LB Tanner Muse, Clemson - He’s a super athlete for a safety, and he’s nearly 230 pounds so at linebacker he’s in some really rarefied air. No clue if he can learn to play linebacker, but physical limitations will not be an issue.
Round 4 (109): IOL John Simpson, Clemson
Round 4 (139): CB Amik Robertson, LA Tech - Just a ballhawking cornerback that backs down from no man. It’s stupid that he fell this far, even with him being undersized. I just can’t foresee a situation where this guy isn’t a productive cornerback that causes some absolute mayhem on the field. He does have limitations, but the floor is so high that this great value.
Undrafted: Madre Hopper - Southern Illinois cornerback whose name translates to Mother Rabbit. That should put some bounce in your step.
Los Angeles Chargers
Round 1 (6): QB Justin Herbert, Oregon - Reach pick that just doesn’t excite me at all. I think his ceiling is a mid-tier quarterback. Good athlete, but him throwing the football just left me completely underwhelmed.
Round 1 (23): LB Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma - Good athlete, seems like a great person as he seems to use a ton of effort in helping out his three special-needs adopted siblings, but he could be a liability in pass coverage as he just hasn’t developed those skills at all. He’s a tackling machine so he at least has that to fall back on.
Round 4 (112): RB Joshua Kelley, UCLA
Round 5 (151): WR Joe Reed, Virginia
Round 6 (186): S Alohi Gilman, Notre Dame
Round 7 (220): WR KJ Hill, Ohio State - Nice pick late as the guy can run routes, and Ohio State has been producing a lot of wide receivers who exceeded expectations once they got into the NFL.
Undrafted: Jeff Cotton - Wide Receiver out of Idaho, just gonna go out on a limb and say that Jonah has some thoughts on this guy.
