Jeremiah has the Indianapolis Colts making the strong move of acquiring Matthew Stafford from the Detroit Lions.
Speaking of quarterbacks, Jeremiah has four quarterbacks among the first seven picks. He’s probably not wrong.
Jeremiah is high on Northwestern offensive tackle Rashawn Slater. So high that he mocks Slater in a higher draft slot than Oregon’s Penei Sewell. I’m not a fan of it as Slater is currently one of my favorites for the Minnesota Vikings. Actually, it might not be such bad thing. If certain teams feel the same way about Slater maybe it pushes Penei Sewell to within reach of the Vikings. I like Slater a lot but getting Sewell in Minnesota would be a dream.
My current draft favorites for the Vikings at #14:
Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern
Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama
Gregory Rousseau, Edge, Miami
Kwity Paye, Edge, Michigan
Jeremiah’s biggest mock surprise might be the San Francisco 49ers selecting Florida tight end Kyle Pitts. When you think of a physical, playmaking quartet of George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Pitts, the pick looks more shrewd than crazy.
NFL Draft season has started.
