SAD NEWS: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS POINT HAS BEEN DEDUCTED AS A RESULT OF…
One more day, one more draft. But there’s a big twist to this one.
We are selecting head coaches in the draft rather than NFL prospects. The 2024 NFL Draft order was utilized by Yardbarker NFL writers to determine the selection order. However, we returned the first-round picks to Carolina, Cleveland, and Houston, meaning each team will have one pick to hire a head coach.
In addition to current NFL head coaches, there were available college coaches and NFL coaches who had been let go in the previous year, such as Bill Belichick in New England and Mike Vrabel in Tennessee.
So set aside reality. Appreciate this most recent spoof. Recall that Detroit will host the actual NFL Draft from April 25–27.
Carolina Panthers, you are on our clock in the interim. Regular-season records for 2023 are shown in parenthesis.)
1. Andy Reid | Carolina Panthers (2–15) It would be a shock for Reid to go from a possible dynasty to the weakest team in the league. However, the three-time Super Bowl champion came into the league with clubs that had made the playoffs within two years—the Eagles and Chiefs—having won a combined five games the season prior to his arrival. — Eric Smithling
2. Sean McVay | Washington Commanders (4–13) After serving as an assistant coach in Washington for seven years (2010–16), McVay returns to D.C. with a Super Bowl ring and two conference titles. He’s ideal for a young quarterback like Caleb Williams of USC or Drake Maye of North Carolina, who are both on the Commanders’ radar in the 2024 NFL Draft. He’s widely regarded as one of the best brains in football. — Bruce Ewing
