Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
For the month of April, this was an NFL Draft newsletter that was written by Chris Trapasso and I’m starting to think that maybe we should have let Trapasso stick around for another week because, once again, the draft is our main topic of conversation today.
Not only will we be handing out more grades, but we’ll also be looking at the worst pick from each team. At some point, we’ll stop talking about the 2023 NFL Draft, but today will not be that day.
As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here. All right, let’s get to the rundown.

There is nobody to protect Mac Jones.” Sully also noted that he was disappointed that New England didn’t use any of its SIX picks in the first four rounds on a receiver.
- Titans: A. “It’s really for the top half of their draft,” Sullivan said of Tennessee’s grade. “They passed on the QB at No. 11 and got Peter Skoronski. … The only QB on the board at 11 was Will Levis and you’re thinking he’s going to be long gone by the time the Titans pick on Day 2, but he infamously falls, they trade up and now they acquire their QB of the future.
