Premium Cuts Grading the NFL Drafts prime prospects
If you love the like I do, you've probably consumed a ton of mocks this week, with it being To mix it up a little, I wanted to cook up a fun mini-mock literally.I had the idea to take who I believe will be the first 10 picks of the draft and liken those players to various cuts of meat.As some of you may know, I'm a former offensive lineman, so naturally, my mind gravitated toward beef.ADVERTISEMENT I tried to keep it fun and lighthearted, so let's cut to the chase. 1. Chicago Bears Caleb WillamsSteak grade: Tomahawk ribeyeThe best of the best. Its "The special" at every steakhouse. And all the teams
Hank Aaron Jersey that need a quarterback and some that dont right now would draft Williams if they were given the opportunity. A tomahawk ribeye is highly marbled, very tender and flavorful, and that matches how Williams throws the football.ODDS TO BE NO. 1 PICK: -20000 2. WashingtonCommanders Jayden DanielsSteak grade: FiletA filet is the preferred cut of meat for some, with its beefy, juicy and fine taste. Some consider it to be the best cut of beef; others think its not rich enough. Similarly, Daniels would be the first quarterback selected for many. However, in this year's draft, enough people prefer Caleb's flavor, which means Jayden "Filet" Daniels goes No. 2.ODDS TO BE NO. 2 PICK: -400 3. New England Patriots Drake MayeSteak grade: BrisketIf you cook a brisket at
Mark Melancon Jersey the right temperature and for the proper amount of time, it has plenty of upside. If you give Maye time to grow in an offense with good weapons, blocking and the right scheme, he will turn into a tender piece of brisket. If hes overcooked in this case, meaning he's rushed into playing before all the ingredients are there the meat will be ruined.ODDS TO BE TOP-5 PICK: -2000 4. ArizonaCardinals Marvin Harrison Jr.Steak grade: A5 WagyuWagyu is rich and flavorful, with a smooth, buttery taste that's just how Harrison runs his routes on the field. Harrison is an exceptional athlete who'll be immediately delicious in the Cardinals offense.ODDS TO BE TOP-5 PICK: -1800 5. Minnesota Vikings J.J. McCarthy (TRADE)Steak grade: Short ribsNow, short ribs are not for everyone, but in the hands of someone who knows how to cook them to proper tenderne s, they are full of delicious flavor. McCarthy is going fifth overall because of his upside, arm talent and intangibles. His ascension to being an elite quarterback will take time, as he doesnt have as many NFL throws on tape as his peers.ODDS TO BE TOP-5 PICK: -150 6. New York Giants Malik NabersSteak grade: Bone-in DelmonicoWhether its cut from the short loin or the rib, a Delmonico steak has an explosive flavor just like Nabers' ability to make highlight plays on the field. His ability to
Tom Glavine Jersey win with his athleticism will be on display for the Giants at the No. 6 pick.ODDS TO BE NO. 6 PICK: +170 7. Tenne seeTitans Joe AltSteak grade: PorterhouseNeed I say more? The Porterhouse is a steak with a serving size of two or more people is an apt way to describe this tackle out of . Alt is a mammoth human at 6-foot-9 and 321 pounds and will immediately become the rock of the Titans' offensive line.ODDS TO BE TOP-10 PICK: -1500 8. Atlanta Falcons Dallas Turner/ Byron Murphy IISteak grade: NY StripThe NY Strip is a dependable steak with intense flavor, and the Falcons would be getting that with either one of these guys.
Deion Sanders Jersey Either player would be a fantastic addition to a Falcons defense that needs to rush the pa ser with more intensity.ODDS TO BE TOP-10 PICK: -105/ +175 9. Chicago Bears Rome OdunzeSteak grade: PicanhaThe Picanha is a super tender and flavorful cut of beef thats not popular in the States. Odunze played in the Pacific Northwest, and I don't think he's regarded as highly as he should be. Maybe its because Ive watched him torch my for two years in a row, but trust me, all Rome does is catch the football, no matter where its thrown. He will be an immediate star in the league.ODDS TO BE TOP-10 PICK: -1500 10. New York Jets Brock BowersSteak grade: Ground beefIs Bowers a tight end? A wide receiver? A slot player? An H-back? Ground beef is versatile. Burgers, meatloaf, meatballs and more. You get a little bit of everything, just like you do with Bowers.
