The Prophet's Picks

Arizona's defense last season was "quietly" good & got better as the season came to an end, the Cardinals in one of the most difficult divisions in the league. After a huge midseason win streak the Cards lost important pivotal games down the stretch. Now the draft has arrived, Arizona did extremely well in free agency thus far & now it's time to complete the team in the draft starting a week from tonight.

Can the Falcons return to the post season with one more year of draft picks under the belt of H.C. Raheem Morris & company? I think they can but a lot of needs for a team that can't get all of those needs from a 3 day draft window. Not only that, Atlanta only has 5 draft picks.

An argument can be made that the Indianapolis Colts of the 2024 season will need a quarterback from this years draft. Richardson & Jones are the guys currently competing. Richardson was a first round pick 3 years ago & Daniel Jones was in the same boat but with the Giants almost 6 years ago now. Colts need help in their LB room & their DB room, so with that said you can never ever fix everything that's wrong with your team in the draft or in the month of March.

Another disappointing season for the Dallas Cowboys as they were decimated by injury & the defense could never get a focus on what made them successful in previous seasons. The draft is a week away & the Cowboys need more than a little bit of help. 24 years of coaching experience is under the belt of new Cowboys H.C. Brian Schottenheimer & 17 years of defensive experience underneath the belt of FORMER Bears H.C., Matt Eberflus who's Dallas' new D.C.

While the 49ers were the only team to finish 6-11 last year it still a losing season & now they have the most draft picks since the Shanahan/Lynch regime along with the quarterback Lynch should've took four years ago (Mac Jones). Slightly more talented than Brock Purdy and the competition is in full swing this spring, summer & early fall. Who'll the 49ers draft in a few weeks? Well they're drafting for "depth" not need. Wow!

The 2024 Chicago Bears had a rough go at their own division & by season's end, the brightest silver lining was their #1 overall draft pick from April 2024, quarterback Caleb Williams. Preseason looked amazing but once the real bullets began to fly the Bears were in some serious serious trouble. Starting 4-3 on the year, a string of loses ensued and now the former Lions O.C. Ben Johnson is the guy that will work with a soon to be uber-talented team post 2025 NFL Draft.

Dennis Allen is now the defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears. The Saints finished last in the southern division at the end of the 2024 season with the same record as their nemesis the Carolina Panthers. The Saints need a quarterback to lead their organization into the future, who will he be?

The 2024 Carolina Panthers found themselves with a double digit lose record but still looking down at their nemesis the N.O. Saints in the standings as Carolina finished 3rd in the NFC south. Who will they draft this month & do they need a new franchise quarterback?

The 2024 season for the JETS mercifully came to an end with the departures of Aaron Rodgers, his buddy DeVante' Adams & a new head coach that just wasn't playing around with the antics of the gentle genius. Who'll take the JETS as a positional player in the first round? Justin Fields, once a first round pick himself will be watching with other previous first round JETS to see who to welcome into the fold as April ends & May begins.

The 2024 New England Patriots were a whole mess & them some, however the silver lining was of course Mr. Derek Maye yet another quarterback from North Carolina University. A guy that is rumored around the league as a guy who has the talents to be special in this league. Who will the pats draft Thursday April 24th? We'll see!
