Pick Analysis. Jahan Dotson. 124. Scouting Report. WR. Penn State. 31. player
31. Kansas City Chiefs: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
Many fans were hoping to see the Kansas City Chiefs continue their early-season struggles but they’re simply too good for that to have continued. Entering Week 12, they seem to have things figured out and are well on their way to being favorites in the AFC once again.
Having said that, they still can use some more help on offense since Patrick Mahomes seems to lean primarily on Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. While it’s understandable he does this, it would make them even more dangerous if they added another player capable of destroying a defensive game plan.
Enter Penn State wideout Jahan Dotson. He’s a quick and shifty player who seems to be tailor-made for the Kansas City offense. Should this pick happen, the rest of the AFC will be incredibly annoyed.
USC. 32. player. 32. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. EDGE. Drake Jackson
32. Arizona Cardinals: Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC
The biggest surprise team this season has been the Arizona Cardinals. Not only are they winning but they’ve continued to do so with Colt McCoy starting for an injured Kyler Murray.
While their offensive output was expected, it’s been the play of their defense that has really shocked the rest of the NFL. And with most of their offensive players still under contract, Arizona continues to build up their defense in this mock as they take Drake Jackson at No. 32.
The USC EDGE rusher could help them as a starter across from Chandler Jones while also giving them someone who can take over should Jones want to try and force his way out again in 2022 as he seemed to hint at this year.
