The 2024 NFL Draft was filled with plenty of shockers, but none bigger than the Atlanta Falcons selecting Michael Penix Jr. out of Washington in the top ten. The Falcons made a massive mistake according to Tyler Rowland. Also, some teams were big winners on Thursday night including the Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. Along with that there were some head scratchers from the Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills.

NFL's Most/Least Improved Teams from NFL Draft, Free Agency | CJ Stroud's Houston Texans Ready to Go

Joe Burrow, Anthony Richardson Returns Headline 2024’s Most Exciting Comebacks

We look at why Drake Maye is the right quarterback to lead the New England Patriots back to the promised land, if the Los Angeles Chargers made a mistake in drafting Joe Alt over Malik Nabers, and the Dallas Cowboys re-signing Ezekiel Elliott. We talk with Mike D'Abate of Locked On Patriots, Daniel Wade of Locked On Chargers, and Marcus Mosher of Locked On Cowboys.

Why Drake Maye is the RIGHT quarterback to lead New England Patriots back to the promised land

We can now take inventory of teams and  their off-seasons by looking at free agency and the draft to see who had the most complete cycle so far, and a couple of teams come to mind. Also unsigned vets are available to help contenders on defense.

The Best Off-Season Was Had By Which Teams?

The 2024 NFL Draft is now a week old and the best pick of the first round was clearly Marvin Harrison Jr. The Arizona Cardinals were smart to stick and take the best wide receiver in the draft. On the flip side, overdrafting quarterbacks continues to be a mistake and the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos didn't learn their lesson. Next, while Brock Bowers is a good player, he is not a good fit for the Raiders, but Xavier Worthy is a perfect match for the Chiefs. Finally, the Buffalo Bills made an unspeakable error, but strengthening their primary rival in the Chiefs and the Jets were wise to move down one spot and still take an offensive lineman to protect Aaron Rodgers.
