Hello and Welcome to the Go for 2 podcast. I'm the host Carlos but my friends call me Cargo. What started as a Covid hobby has turned into 5 seasons of talking sports. From in-season analysis, fantasy football tips, and game predictions to off-season coverage of free agency, and the draft,– I break it all down for you. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
With that being said this is going to be an eight part series of my mock draft 1.0. Each episode will be 4 picks per year. During these mock drafts I won’t be doing any trades. I am going to give you guys some ideas of what I think they would do and personally what I would do if I was the General Managers/ Owner/Coach. This is one of my favorite parts about the offseason because teams are continuing to build their roster to make a run at winning a championship. Are teams taking the "best available" on their board or are they looking to fill a need on the roster. What are the things teams are looking for in their players? If you don’t know what the draft is. It is a collection of all the best college footballers finally realizing their dreams of playing in the NFL. Now just because you get drafted first doesn’t mean you automatically become a superstar. We all know the story of Tom Brady selected in the 6th round pick 199. It’s not about when you're drafted but where you get drafted to. A reason why this event is special to me is because when I was younger I watched a lot of college football and NFL of course. I remember watching Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay breakdown the players and analyze the teams. I was impressed by their knowledge of the players. I still remember writing every pick every trade down on a spiral page from the first pick to the last pick. That was a big part of my inspiration for writing and this podcast. I know you enjoy it as much as I do.
Lets dive.
Let me know in the comments what you guys think.
