The 2024 NFL Draft is finally here and teams are going to be looking to improve their rosters with picks across the board. It's been a difficult process when it comes to predictions, even more so than in 2023.
One of the players that was difficult to project in 2023 was Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis. He initially was projected to go in the top five but fell to pick 33 in the second round. That was the basis of former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman giving analyst Pete Prisco the business.

Rick Spielman rips Pete Prisco for NFL Draft prediction
Prisco spoke about Washington State safety Jaden Hicks going to the Detroit Lions at the 29th overall pick and Spielman wasn't having it, calling him out for not knowing ball.
Detriot taking Jaden Hicks in the 1st RD??? The only thing worse is your Will Levis prediction last year. LEARN THE GAME https://t.co/DxeSGPFNLC

This is the kind of thing that we love to see on draft day. Spielman is right by the way, as Hicks is a middle-of-day two kind of player. Prisco loves Levis and has tweeted about him being the best quarterback in the 2023 draft class. After one year, that take doesn't look great with the success of C.J. Stroud and the flashes that Anthony Richardson showed.
