Quinyon Mitchell NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: First Round (No. 12 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Philadelphia Eagles via Denver Broncos - projected trade
DRAFT ANALYSIS: The Broncos don't have a second-round pick and are limited in their draft capital after moving on from QB Russell Wilson. Being that the top four QBs are off the board, it only makes sense for them to move down a bit. There has been some chatter about the Broncos calling to see what it would cost to move up into the top three, but it would likely be incredibly expensive. Possibly to the tune of the 12th pick, CB Pat Surtain II, and their 2025 first. Would Broncos fans want to give that up? Moving back in the draft might be the better play for now.
Would #Eagles be making the right decision selecting Toledo DB Quinyon Mitchell at pick #22?

This wouldn't be a customary Howie Roseman type of move, but with Darius Slay hitting 33 and James Bradberry at 30, Philly's secondary is screaming for some fresh legs, especially after getting torched in the latter half of the season. In today’s NFL, snagging a CB who can muzzle the opponent’s top receiver is like striking gold. Enter Mitchell, a lightning-fast player who personifies the 'need for speed,' proving that in the pass-happy NFL, stacking the secondary isn’t just smart—it’s downright critical to survive.
Terrion Arnold NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: First Round (No. 13 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Las Vegas Raiders
DRAFT ANALYSIS: In a division where you're duking it out with Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, stacking your secondary is less of a strategy and more of a survival tactic. Enter Arnold, who's got the buzz as the draft’s potential top cornerback.
With a 2023 highlight reel boasting five picks and 12 deflected passes, Arnold is more than just a cover guy; he's a physical force who's not shy about mixing it up in the run game. Sure, his 4.50 forty-yard dash at the NFL Combine didn’t set the world on fire, but this dude's got football IQ in spades. He’s not just some rookie to mold; Arnold’s the kind of savvy, instinct-driven player the Raiders can plug in from day one and watch him go to work.
Cooper DeJean NFL Draft Prediction
ROUND PREDICTION: First Round (No. 25 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Green Bay Packers
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Green Bay is probably still doing victory laps over their 2023 saga, smoothly handing the QB reins to Jordan Love and not missing a beat. Cashing in big-time on trades for Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers, the Packers have been laughing all the way to the draft bank.

GM Brian Gutekunst usually plays it safe with early picks, favoring the big fellas in the trenches. But hey, DeJean is the kind of defensive chess piece that's too good to pass up. Is he a cornerback, slot whisperer, or a safety? Who cares! The guy’s got skills that could turn any piece of the field into his playground. The Packers know a top-notch player when they see one, and DeJean is just that.
