Summary

Following the NFL Combine and a wild Free Agency period, Joel Klatt is back for his 2nd Mock Draft of the season as prospects make their moves up and down the board and teams have a clearer view of their Draft needs. Klatt projects Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love to be the highest drafted Running Back since Saquon Barkley. Ohio State Linebacker Sonny Styles makes a big jump inside the Top 10 following his incredible Combine workout. With 2 First Round picks, the Dallas Cowboys select a potential All-Pro and take a calculated risk on another high-upside prospect. He also projects the Rams and MVP Matthew Stafford to add a new target to an already explosive offense.Use my code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order*: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/KLATT10Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.

Mock draft 2.0 coming straight at you. I don't think that there's any bigger riser after the combine than Sunny Stiles.

0:05.7

This guy is 8 million miles per hour on every single snap.

0:12.1

Jerry, take Caleb Downs. You will not regret it. I got to tell you, like, I'm not a huge conspiracy theory guy, but boy, this worked out really well for the Ravens.

0:25.6

Touchdowns. These fans are the best of the country. A day like today is why we love college football.

1:29.4

Hey, welcome into the program. This is Joel Clad Show. I'm Joel Clad. This show is brought to you by graduate by Hilton, and we thank them for their support as always. Welcome into the program. We've got a big show for you here today. It is mock draft 2.0 time here. Post-combine, post-free agency. We've got a better idea of what all these teams need in the National Football League. So we're going to go through and we're going to give them some players here in the first round. Mock draft 2.0 coming straight at you. Just remember if you have not subscribed on the YouTube channel, go ahead and do that. You can hit the notification button as well, and then follow us wherever you like to social media. We are there at Joel Clatio out there. You can get all of our content in shorter form. All right, here we go. We roll forward towards the NFL draft, and here we go. Combine was electric, by the way. These guys all running great times. We saw a great bunch of athletes. And then free agency has been wild. Obviously highlighted by the Max

1:35.1

Crosby trade. And then, no, it's not going to go down. And, you know, were the Ravens being

1:40.2

coy in that one? Probably they saved a lot of draft capital and still signed Trey Hendrickson. So here we go. Number one is the Raiders. They still have that first pick,

1:49.9

obviously, and the Raiders are going to go with Fernando Mendoza. I think we all kind of know

1:53.8

that Fernando Mendoza is going to be a great fit for the Raiders, I believe, in particular

1:58.3

with the way that they're headed from a coaching standpoint,

2:01.4

an offensive philosophy standpoint.

2:04.3

They went out and paid top dollar for some free agents, pro bowler center,

2:08.8

Tyler Linderbaum, I think he's one of the best in the National Football League.

2:12.7

He's up there for the rookie QB.

2:14.9

They made him the highest paid interior linemen in the NFL.

2:18.9

You're building up that O line for Mendoza and for Ashton Gentie.

2:23.0

Remember, they got Brock Bowers. All of a sudden, I kind of like what the Raiders are going

2:27.0

to look like. I know that it hasn't been a lot of success over the last couple of years,

2:30.4

but I think that they've got something. And in particular with a guy like this,

2:42.2

who plays great in crunch time. Remember, his best, it comes forward when his best is required.

2:47.3

That's his greatest trait. We saw it against Iowa. We saw it against Oregon. We saw it against Penn State. I will never forget calling that game. We saw it in the Big Ten championship. And then we saw it down the stretch and more specifically in that championship game with that run on forked down. This guy is a winner. He just went 16 and 0, won the Heisman trophy. And I think he's the perfect pick for Vegas right there at number one. All right. So now we're at the number two pick and the Jets are on the clock. And I think this is kind of where the draft starts, to be honest, because we don't

3:11.3

really know where the Jets are going, but there's a player on the board that all fall has
