This would make Gardner the highest selected cornerback Madden 24 coins ever. While this is a critical position, and Detroit would be fearsome with Gardner and Jeff Odukah (if he can get healthy), I’m really struggling to see investing a pick that high on a cornerback here.

The flipside is that Kiper has Derek Stingley Jr. falling all the way to No. 12 to the Vikings. This was a guy being projected in the Top 5. I know fans in Minnesota will salivate for this, but I would be stunned if we see either Sauce go this high, or Stingley Jr. go this low.

If it happened this would definitely shake up the Top 10, and it’ll be something to watch for sure.There’s a ton of talent at pass rusher in the draft, but Kiper is the first to go so all-in on how much teams like these players. Four edge rushers are being selected in the Top 10, with Florida State’s Jermaine Johnson being the name sneaking in that others haven’t projected so far.

This comes at the expense of the offensive tackles, who fall lower than people have projected. I could potentially see this happening, but the idea of getting the third or fourth best pass rusher over an Evan Neal or Charles Cross really doesn’t vibe with me too well.

There is only one running back in my mind worth of a first round pick, and I think he’s a hell of a player. Kiper has Iowa State’s Breece Hall falling to No. 38 to the Jets, which floors me.

Hall is an ideal mix of speed and power, with rare traits. I cannot fathom the Buffalo Bills passing on him at No. 26, considering a do-everything back is really the only thing that offense is missing. Hell, for that matter I can’t believe the Texans would pass on him either.

I think people are going to be shocked by how high Hall goes. I could honestly see him in the teens if a team believes enough.

I’m not objecting to the idea of Cincinnati trading out of the first round for future assets, it’s more that Kiper has the Jets FLEECING the Bengals in a trade. At No. 31 he proposes the Jets move up to draft Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum, who is sliding for God knows what reason.

In exchange, he has New York giving Cincinnati the No. 35 pick and a Day 3 selection. That is laughable. On no planet can I imagine  Buy mut 24 coins xbox the Bengals shifting from Day 1 to Day 2, where they could get jumped in trade discussions happening overnight, and all they come away with is a mid-late round pick who probably won’t make the team.
