I’m a huge Skyy Moore fan, and even more considering the fit here. The Chiefs have a type when it comes to receivers, and where I see Moore being an average starter in most teams, he could become a force with Patrick Mahomes. We’re not talking Tyreek Hill’s electric speed, but he shares some of those traits.
No. 31: Cincinnati Bengals: Andrew Booth Jr., CB — Clemson
There aren’t many needs for the Bengals, so I have them getting the best corner available Mut 24 coins . Booth will become a plus-level starter and offers a great combination of speed and size. It wasn’t long ago Booth was being mocked in the teens, and he’s worth that kind of pick in any other draft. This is a sign of the depth, and that’s the Bengals’ gain.
No. 32: Detroit Lions: Lewis Cine, S — Georgia
Detroit could go a lot of different ways here, which leaves us with a player who I suspect they’ll be afraid won’t last to their next pick. The Jaguars could take Cine with their top pick in the second, someone could trade up for him — there are a lot of scenarios where he’s not available. This solidification of their defense in the first round allows for a more offensive-minded draft deeper, and Dan Campbell will love Cine’s aggression and love of leveling receivers over the middle to force fumbles.
We’re still in the middle of Madden NFL 24 free agency, but for all intents and purposes the process is approaching its end. There are still some great players available, but as cap space is eaten into and the market is narrowing we’re seeing smaller need fills now, rather than the bigger splashy deals of opening week.
From top to bottom, honestly, I’m really impressed with what a ton of teams have done so far. There really isn’t a clear and obvious loser in the bunch, and while I do have some feelings about some of the deals signed — most notably Jacksonville, who I thought could have done a lot more with this cap space, I do still see the logic behind their moves. Almost everyone got a lot better, and there are some really fun signings to appreciate when the season begins.
Heck, look at JuJu Smith-Schuster in Kansas City. That’s going to be an absolute blast to watch cheap madden 24 coins him and Pat Mahomes. Von Miller in Buffalo? Get out of here, that’s just silly. Allen Robinson adding to the Rams? The one benefit of this top-tier arms’ race we’re in is that football is going to be just nuts in 2022. It’s way too early to make any bold predictions, but it certainly feels like we’re going to see extreme parity between a handful of the best, then a great mass at the bottom unable to make an impact.
