#455: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Combine Preview + Mock Draft with Jeff Barnes)

What this episode covers

1. Aside from positional value, what makes J.J. McCarthy worth a top-10 pick, and would it surprise you if he got drafted before either Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye? 2. One player expected to shine in on-field workouts at the Combine is Texas DT Byron Murphy. According to NFL Draft Analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic, Murphy's goals are to run a 4.8-second 40, a 7.2-second three cone drill, and do "at least" 35 bench press reps. If he hits those numbers, will Byron Murphy solidify himself as a top-15 pick in this draft? 3. Should he test as well or better than expected, can you see Chop Robinson being a top-20 pick, especially given the fact the league constantly emphasizes traits when it comes to rushing the QB? 4. If Amarius Mims posts freakish testing numbers as expected and passes medical exams, does that make him the clear-cut OT4 in this class, if not better? 5. If Malik Nabers steals the show during the pre-draft process, would you be surprised if he gets drafted before Marvin Harrison, Jr.? 6.
