- Heading out for a post-draft long weekend trip, but, before I go, know that there's a rewind episode in the Late-Round Podcast feed on what I like to call "the pocket passer trap." Give it a listen! Have a great weekend, folks. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
- Sean McVay has a type. But Jarquez Hunter had a lot more burst than Kyren and Corum coming out. - Reception Share: Best-season mark in college - Breakout Score: Schedule- and age-adjusted receiving yards per team pass attempt - Career explosive run rate courtesy of PFF
- Sending a newsletter out soon that includes my favorite rookie draft dart throws. You can subscribe to it for absolutely free by heading to LateRound.com.
- Each year after the draft, I try to read between the lines to see what teams were thinking when they made the choices they made. That's what I did for today's Late-Round Podcast episode. Give it a listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/9...
- Round 2 running backs since 2011 with a 105+ Speed Score and a best-season total yards per team play rate above 2.0: - Derrick Henry - Joe Mixon - Nick Chubb - AJ Dillon - JK Dobbins - Jonathan Taylor - Breece Hall - Kenneth Walker -> RJ Harvey
- When you barely sleep for three days so that your nerdy pals can dominate their rookie drafts 🫡
- Prospect guide will be later than anticipated because the 49ers decided to draft JUNIOR BERGEN in Round 7, a guy I definitely have heard of before
- Phil Mafah and Jaydon Blue in the Cowboys backfield
- Do the Buccaneers understand that they do not have to draft slot receivers?
- The Browns quarterback room only includes quarterbacks you could make a documentary of
- Shedeur Sanders getting drafted
- Jalen Royals top comp in the ZAP Model: Rashee Rice
- Sampson's fine, but I would've liked to see the Browns get someone like Brashard Smith to pair with Judkins.
- Arian Smith and Chimere Dike had big board rankings on NFL Mock Draft Database that were well past Pick 200.
- I'VE LOST MY PANTS
- Been working non-stop on updates to the Late-Round Prospect Guide. For anyone who purchased, you'll be getting the post-draft version later tonight. For anyone who hasn't, you can still get the pre-draft version now AND the post-draft one later. LateRound.com for more.
- Check out this Kaleb Johnson jersey swap I just did
- I liked Pat Bryant and Isaac TeSlaa during the prospecting process, but I'm shocked they went as high as they did. I started analyzing NFL Mock Draft Database data this offseason, and, based on that data, they're coming in as two of the bigger reaches at WR since 2016.
- Good for Jack Bech, man. Hope he balls out for Vegas.

- Here I am, setting up to work on a Friday night, irrationally excited for what's about to happen. I will never not feel incredibly lucky to do this for a living. Greatest job in the world. Thank you guys.
- *Walks up to podium to announce a draft pick* I've brought with me this dictionary. I am going to recite all words in it that start with the letter G.

- Oh, cool, another Colts pass-catcher to get wide open and not see the ball
