Me, Eric Eager, & former Falcons General Manager, Thomas Dimitroff sit down for a new 2024 #NFL #mockdraft
Please go check out everything Thomas & Eric are working on on KZbin ( / @sumersports ) and at sumersports.com/

Love how you got Thomas for this year again, great stuff Marcus!

Desperately awaiting the mock draft with Mike Renner

[@goldeneye0548]

Watched this whole episode, definitely felt like TFG outclassed these guys in terms of ability to break down players on the fly, even knowing it’s a former GM. I’ve felt like this a couple times before, but never this strongly. Marcus has leveled up so much it’s crazy

[@jamenneptune1803]

The bit for the dolphins pick felt so weird like Marcus had to tell him what to do 😂

[@williamsavary1040]

Honestly I don't think that's the case. It's more of a chemistry issue imo and Thomas not being very used to podcasting. I felt the same way last year. Still a great episode and fun watch. With time they'll get there if they do one of these every year. I also feel like Marcus as a host isn't sure how to proceed with such a big invite lol. But again, good episode. And I do agree that Marcus is improving a whole lot. Him on the Nfl stock exchange was the best I've seen him

[@TheMattTrakker]

@@williamsavary1040 Yeah, the fact that he actually watches their show and pretty clearly has familiarity with those two made it flow much better.

Thomas wants back in the NFL very badly after his falling out in ATL. I think he see this as a practice/audition but I think he has lost some spark and it shows. Awkward video

[@marcv9311]

Thomas: “I’m a JC Latham fan” Marcus: 😶 Lmao love the content Marcus, such a sick vid.

[@HolograpicTaco22]

Passing on Malik Nabers and drafting a FOURTH EDGE is the WORST thing i could possibly imagine oh my God

[@HolograpicTaco22]

What a stupid fucking pick oh my god

[@majuub003]

I laughed my ass off Like 4th DE?? No Brock No DL no CB no run block OL hell I would’ve taken JPJ over Latu Just made no sense

[@majuub003]

Actually it’d be a 5th pass rusher because Rumph is still on the team🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ArchibaldHimothy]

Literally drafting an edge with medical history too lmaoo, if you were going to go defense for high positional value atleast take a corner lmaoo.

[@HolograpicTaco22]

@majuub003 well Latu is about 36x better than rumph so I think he's ahead lol

[@ArchibaldHimothy]

Did Eric really use injury prone to describe Bosa and Mack then proceeded to draft an edge with medical issues lmaoo.

[@DailyWorkoutMotive]

He's been medically cleared... Bosa doesn't ever play an entire season and he's also gone after this year. Mack is just old af and not in his prime.

[@TheMattTrakker]

Injury prone is different. Latu's neck/spine isn't something that's going to constantly land him on IR, he's either there or he's forced to retire. It's more binary.

[@victormccombs6383]

Makes all kind of sense?

[@king_supreme1102]

Jets are 100% not worried about the defensive future right now. They invested in Aaron Rodgers, this season is all about him. You either protect him more or you get him a weapon. And the same deal even more so with the Chargers. I will sell all of my earthly belongings if they take Latu over an offensive player. I have no idea what Eric was smoking with those 2 picks. They have NO weapons and a run heavy scheme coming in. This year would be an offensive disaster-class if they took an edge.

[@juulianmclean9000]

the chargers aren’t worried about the future??

[@king_supreme1102]

Drafting a pass rusher with the explanation of dropping into coverage is nuts

[@NameN0tFound]

You should have booted Eric from the call the moment he decided to go with any defensive player for the Jets.

[@belhariry]

Seriously that’s even worse than picking Bowers

[@JohnAC4]

Did you not watch the chiefs this year?

[@belhariry]

I wanted to add that I'd only consider this if we trade DJ Reed (expiring at the end of the year) to 49ers or the Bengals for Aiyuk or Tee Higgins. That would make drafting Quinyon Mitchell a lot better.

[@Ilikedogs9000]

@@belhariry if everyone stays healthy your fine, bowers would be a better pick but I understand the pick

[@johnshepard313]

Exactly. He then says "if the jets do good and Saleh/JD get contract extensions". How are they gonna do good when they had one of the worst offenses in nfl history last year! Like Jesus Christ

[@WhiteMambaMania]

I really like that in this video you get three truly different perspectives on the draft/draft philosophy. Marcus obviously has dove deep into so many of these prospects and has his evaluations of them that he trusts, Thomas looks at it in a very much fit-to-value way (and his anecdotes are really cool to hear), and Eric looks at things very much statistically and analytically and what pick could bolster a specific "weak point" on a given team. Really liked this video in a different way than a lot of other mocks.

[@aaronlawrence3274]

Passing on Brian Thomas Jr still there at 23 is crazy

[@chrismccarthy7623]

The fact that he drafts a qb for new England is incredibly dumb especially when a legit blue chip wr is on the board several actually and I'd rather go with the veteran qb than an unproven rookie

[@austin7330]

Thank you Marcus for picking Brock Bowers for the Rams instead of the typical edge/DI at 19. If he falls that far I think the Rams would pull the trigger on a blue chip TE to round out our offense instead of drafting for need.

Rollercoaster of emotions for TD. 2 time award winner 👏🏼👏🏼. Also some of his past drafts booooo

[@jake8169]

I didn't understand the Latu pick the most. The Chargers already have Tuli to backup Bosa and Mack. The player is good, but doesn't fill a need at all. Fashanu to the Saints didn't make much sense either. They have Penning at left tackle and Ramczyk is an all pro right tackle.

Eric steps on Thomas and is still long winded on Latu to the Chargers, which would not be Harbaugh’s pick there 🤣 Plus talking about their injury prone players and drafting Latu was a bit of a head scratcher 🤷‍♂️ (I doubt the Jets go Mitchell either but I will say his paring with Sauce would make a nasty duo)

[@JefferyT1991]

The big curveball is always the draft day trades and this year is no exception

[@cogema97]

Finally! The first mock on this channel giving MHJ to the Cardinals lol. We're 1 for 6 now baby

[@bradgilbert6718]

You need to include an additional question for Thomas every year; ask the former Guelph Gryphon about draftable Canadian prospects. And I like the point he made about coaches ensuring management that a player is going to hit certain snap count metrics. Does that apply to other positions and draft capital? Seems like it should.

[@Hunt-nu1pq]

What a cool video

[@TanmanC]

Thomas's point about the Falcons taking a QB early to develop under Cousins is interesting, I think the Falcons getting a traits based QB like a Jordan Travis in the later rounds would work out better

[@10ones]

I thought the falcons would trade for Fields for that reason but they didn’t

[@TheMattTrakker]

@@10ones The Steelers aren't picking up his 5th year option, they can sign him next year if they want. Fields just doesn't do the things you need an NFL QB to do. He's got a bunch of fans in the fantasy/twitter clip communitity, but pretty clearly isn't thought of the same way around the NFL.

[@user-ho3ih9jz4c]

[@nickluckman1872]

You seem to be doing these as "what-you-would-do" mocks. Interesting Seahawks note if you ever do predictive mocks: John Schneider has been quoted saying that interior offensive line is "overvalued and overdrafted" in the NFL. He also doesn't like to invest in IOL as a general rule. He prefers to grab later round players to fill the position.

Driving home, heard that beep around 1:58 beep had me freaking out looking all over my dashboard

[@peytonkoopmann637]

As a Iowa Hawkeye and Dallas Cowboys fan I really wanted Cooper Dejean in this mock draft

[@yonatanben-chaim9747]

I think the Falcons want to try to win now though. I don't think they can actually win a SB, but they can win their division and a playoff game for sure. So in that case I think at least for now they should try and maximize the roster.

[@slvrwndxtr]

[@shanegabriel9518]

It’s an absolute mistake for this show to not utilize Thomas Dimitroff for pick number 8. Having the former Falcons GM picking for the Falcons would literally make the show.

[@ShrimShim]

YOU OWE THOMAS AN APOLOGY TFG

[@mattkeepingazoriustactical]

Dimitroff said what I’ve been screaming about what the Falcons should be doing, and I’m a Packers fan mind you.

[@vsauce4678]

Nah Kirk Cousins

[@evanthompson4186]

Nah I'm a Falcons fan and we're a few pieces away from potentially being contenders. I know how people feel about Kirk but hes a good starting qb and with this roster you could make a push. Plus there's a guy later on in Michael Pratt that I think would be a low risk, high reward type of guy that fits a Cousin's type mold. Didn't necessarily agree with the Turner pick as Latu is my edge 1, but if you hit on an edge or 2, get a corner, maybe a receiver, this team will be very dangerous in an NFC that doesn't have near the qb play of the AFC.

[@juliuswyatt8895]

Will you do that 7 round mock live stream like you did last year?

[@thawkereynolds]

As a jet fan I would f-ing flip out if they spent a top 10 on a CB!!

[@existentialmarxist3760]

Dallas taking Wiggins with Verse and Thomas Jr on the board is genuinely surprising. The impact Wiggins would make, IMO, would pale in comparison to Verse, Thomas Jr, and Powers Johnson.

[@Nautilus1972]

If Atlanta want a QB then sit pretty and draft Penix.

[@AlaskanRNFL]

He says Chris Ballard loves his defensive backs but he actually historically doesn’t take corners high. Even going back to his Chicago days his mentors don’t take corners high

[@Falconsriseup]

Surprise Surprise TD sees a edge rusher going to the Falcons in the 1st and it almost looked like it hurt his soul XD. But wants to waste more picks to go up and get a QB to sit for another 3 years lol. I appreciate what he did for the Falcons when he 1st got here. But good lord am i so glad he was gone by the end.

[@thecompilations5584]

Jets need to take an offensive player. Their defense is all ready championship caliber, all the need is to help Aaron Rodgers with a tackle or a reciever

Marcus love your draft and everything on this channel as a rams fan would love to have brock at 19 I don't think he will be there at 19 but if then this offense is going to be good a

[@t1mh143]

Don't like the choices for the chargers, Latu ain't the guy at 11. Newton would be a good addition at 23 altough I would've also liked BTJ, AD Mitchell or Kool-Aid. But double down on D-Line doesn't seem to smart with me. To many good options on WR, CB or even O-Line where the needs are much higher and the talent wouldn't have been worse

[@happynotredamefan3736]

Who do u think will get more players drafted ND or USC?

[@Ynkno]

Got to be nd

[@yesiagree3970]

Well off the top of my head USC players drafted should be: Caleb Williams, MarShawn Lloyd, Calen Bullock, Brenden Rice, Tahj Washington, and they have that one guard Kingston that might go day 3. So 5-6. Notre Dame has Joe Alt, Blake Fisher, Marist Liufau, Audric Estime, Cam Hart, and maybe Sam Hartman so also 5-6. I might be missing a player or two but I think Hartman is more likely to be drafted than that USC guard Kingston so I'll go Notre Dame to get more drafted players
