What do the Bills, Bengals, Packers, Rams and 49ers have in common? They are all 10+ pick prospects in this year’s draft. Rotogrinders’ Jordan Vanek joins Matt Harmon for the latest installment of our ‘Teams That Will Shape the Draft’ series to see how each contender can maximize their plethora of picks next week.
But first, the two kick off the group by reacting to Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith’s extension. Both believe it’s money well spent, but are concerned about whether the Eagles offense can truly maximize the talents of the WRs in their current offense with Jalen Hurts at the helm.
The two then identify the six teams in this year’s draft that have more than ten picks. Harmon believes five of the six teams will be serious contenders next year and can use their picks to put them over the top. The duo starts by looking at how the Buffalo Bills plan to usher in this new Josh Allen era without Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. The two then look at how the Bengals can make the most of the potential last run with the trio of Burrow, Chase and Higgins.
After the break, the two look at how the Green Bay Packers and LA Rams can build on last year’s momentum with great draft classes this year. Harmon and Vanek end the show by looking at what the 49ers and Cardinals will do with their ten-plus picks.
