Last year the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/04\/05\/5-fun-rookies-and-team-pairings\/\" target=\"_self\">romanticized version of Mingo<\/a> seemed like a perfect Carolina Panther. Who are some of the most fun prospect-team pairings in the 2024 NFL Draft?<\/p>\n<h2>Most Fun Prospect-Team Pairings in the 2024 NFL Draft<\/h2>\n<h3>Jermaine Burton, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers<\/h3>\n<p>Tell me if you&#8217;ve heard this one before. A talented wide receiver falls in the draft due to attitude concerns but holds it together in Pittsburgh aside from a few minor outbursts. Burton is a freakazoid who likely suffered from Milroe&#8217;s inability to push the ball down the field. He might be a bit of a headcase, but watching him and Pickens fight for the ball or just actually fight would require popcorn.<\/p>\n<h3>Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Chargers<\/h3>\n<p>The Harbaugh ties to Michigan may be overblown. But Harbaugh loves him some Blake Corum and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/blake-corum-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ran him almost 700 times<\/a> in the past four years. Gus Edwards is their only running back under contract right now, and the team needs a reliable steady back to tote the rock. Corum, you ARE a Los Angeles Charger.<\/p>\n<h3>Jackson Powers-Johnson, OL, Baltimore Ravens<\/h3>\n<p>Steelers fans would scream, but there&#8217;s a world where teams pass on JPJ due to positional value. He falls, and falls, and falls, until eventually the Ravens scoop up the best player on the board <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/07\/07\/most-valuable-positions-in-football\/\" target=\"_self\">regardless of contract values<\/a>. It&#8217;s a familiar trope, and the Ravens would fill a significant need at the same time. Win win for everyone except the rest of the AFC North. He might not be fun for the average fan, but Powers-Johnson is one of the most fun offensive line prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<h3>Braden Fiske, IDL, Detroit Lions<\/h3>\n<p>Watch ten plays of Braden Fiske and try and figure out a way Dan Campbell doesn&#8217;t fall in love. He&#8217;s a knee cap biter with an unstoppable motor and elite athleticism. Slide Fiske in next to Aidan Hutchinson and enjoy a game wrecking defensive line for years to come.<\/p>\n<h3>Trey Benson, RB, Dallas Cowboys<\/h3>\n<p>Tell me that they don&#8217;t need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XCcODbUwmec\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this kind of player<\/a> on their team. He can turn on the jets, bowl over defenders, and really be the lead back for a team. Jerry Jones might not have taken great notes this offseason, but hopefully he caught some Florida State film.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trey Benson delivering the HAMMER \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffb #2024nfldraft #NFLShorts #dynastyfantasyfootball\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mit6OTIkPHw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Adonai Mitchell, WR, Kansas City Chiefs<\/h3>\n<p>Mitchell&#8217;s highs are some of the highest in the class. He takes plays off due to an extreme understanding of the game and realizing that he&#8217;s not in the progression. Some call that laziness, some call it football IQ. If someone is going to get the most out of Mitchell it&#8217;s Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes extending plays to keep him involved. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ffastronauts.com\/post\/adonai-mitchell-prospect-film-review\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This film review<\/a> sold me on Mitchell as a prospect, who&#8217;s one of the most fun prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<h3>Olu Fashanu, OT, New Orleans Saints<\/h3>\n<p>Some teams have team needs. The Saints have a giant sticker on their forehead that says &#8220;Must Draft a Tackle&#8221;. There are question marks all over the place, and it would be nice to grab an exceptional pass protector and keep Carr upright for a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Syndication: Austin American-Statesman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a class with loads of fun players, here are the most fun prospect team pairings heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4345,"featured_media":161104,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1647,10,19,24,18,28,9],"tags":[10073,32427,32422,32485,7642,7811,1669,32381,7661,7638,7659],"class_list":["post-169461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-draft","category-ravens","category-cowboys","category-lions","category-chargers","category-saints","category-steelers","tag-2024-nfl-draft","tag-adonai-mitchell","tag-blake-corum","tag-braden-fiske","tag-chargers-featured","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-draft-prospects","tag-jermaine-burton","tag-panthers-featured","tag-ravens-featured","tag-saints-featured"],"modified_by":"Mike Kashuba","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
