Last year, following the NFL Draft, everyone was all happy and excited about each and every single landing spot. As a pessimist, I was disgusted. I wanted to write a series destroying the optimistic, happy-go-lucky narratives that were permeating the fantasy and real-life football spaces. I attacked the 2023 quarterback class, the running backs, the wide receivers, and the tight ends, and the series was well-received by many, so here I am again this year with all my reasons why this entire 2024 draft class stinks.
A year ago, the unanimous top tight end in the draft class was Notre Dame's Michael Mayer, and the Raiders selected him with the 35th overall pick. So, of course, this year, the Raiders once again selected the unanimous top tight end in the draft class, drafting Georgia's Bowers with the 13th overall pick. Death, taxes, and the Raiders making head-scratching draft picks - some things are just certainties in life.
