Las Piñas Job & Economic Empowerment Summit 2025: Empowering Futures, Transforming Lives

As the city of Las Piñas gears up for a transformative day of opportunity and inspiration, the Las Piñas Job & Economic Empowerment Summit 2025 is set to take center stage on March 15, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at SM Center Las Piñas.

Happening simultaneously with the Job and Career Fair, this summit is designed to be more than a conventional conference—it is a dynamic platform where ideas, expertise, and passion converge to empower job seekers, entrepreneurs, and professionals alike. At the heart of the summit is a stellar lineup of speakers whose experiences span environmental advocacy, labor leadership, entrepreneurship, and public service. These leaders are committed to creating an environment where economic growth and workforce development go hand in hand.

David D’Angelo brings his lifelong dedication as an environmental advocate to the stage. A seasoned environmentalist and public servant, David has consistently championed sustainable development and climate action through his leadership roles with Global Responsibility for Environmental and Ecological Nurturing and forums like Kamayan para sa Kalikasan. His insights will demonstrate the vital connection between sustainable practices and long-term economic empowerment.

Felipe Fernández Montealto Jr. is set to share his transformative vision for a safer and more progressive Philippines, particularly focusing on the welfare of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). With a background marked by notable achievements—from landmark labor law victories to influential roles in government service and community leadership—Felipe’s talk promises to inspire and galvanize audiences to advocate for better working conditions and enhanced opportunities for our nation’s hardworking OFWs.

Representing the voice of labor, Leodegario "Ka Leody" Quitain de Guzman will delve into the pressing issues and bold reforms necessary to uplift Filipino workers. A tireless labor leader, Ka Leody’s commitment to worker rights and systemic change will resonate with those striving for justice and equitable treatment in the workplace.

In the realm of business and social justice, Wilson Caritero Amad stands out as a leader who has dedicated decades to uplifting underrepresented communities. His experience as a business leader and volunteer labor organizer has not only shaped key industries but also reinforced the importance of social responsibility in driving economic progress.

Championing the cause of marginalized communities, Roberto "Kadodoy" Ballon will share his decades-long journey in fisheries management, agrarian reform, and environmental advocacy. A Ramon Magsaysay Awardee and Chairperson of PAKISAMA, Kadodoy has been a steadfast defender of small fishers, farmers, and coastal communities. His work in marine conservation and rural development is a testament to how environmental stewardship can coincide with robust economic empowerment.

The summit will also feature Attorney Sonny Matula, whose 37-year-long commitment to the labor movement and legal advocacy has earned him accolades and awards. As a respected trade union leader and legal scholar, Atty. Matula will address the critical importance of fair labor policies, social protection, and judicial reform in building a just and inclusive workforce.

Adding to the discourse on transformative education and governance, Attorney Leandro “Lee” Verceles—the visionary behind the New Direction Platform & Movement and a former Congressman and Governor—will discuss revolutionary approaches to educational reform and policy-making. His extensive experience in government and his advocacy for world-class learning will offer fresh perspectives on building a future-ready workforce.

Alvin Sahagun, a wealth coach, philanthropist, and social entrepreneur, will inspire attendees with his incredible journey from humble beginnings to impactful leadership. His expertise in entrepreneurship, particularly in e-commerce and dropshipping, demonstrates how resilience and innovation can create lasting success and economic prosperity.

Dr. Angelo E. Base is a multifaceted leader who wears many hats—as a behavioral therapist, educator, mediator, and community advocate. With his pioneering work in legal accessibility, mental health, and community development, Dr. Base will share insights on how ethical leadership and accessible justice can pave the way for personal and professional growth.

Rovin Andrew M. Feliciano brings a unique blend of educational innovation and governance expertise. Known for his legislative excellence and commitment to community welfare, Rovin has authored numerous ordinances that focus on education, disaster preparedness, youth empowerment, and more. His practical insights on policy-making and public service will round out the summit’s discussions with a strong focus on building resilient communities.

This landmark summit is not only a call to action for job seekers and entrepreneurs but also a celebration of collective progress—a day where diverse voices unite to spark transformative change. Whether you are seeking guidance for your career, looking to launch your startup, or eager to gain insights into sustainable economic practices, the Las Piñas Job & Economic Empowerment Summit 2025 is your platform for growth and inspiration. Join us as we empower the future of Las Piñas City—because when innovation meets determination, the possibilities are endless.

Ascending Philippines: Choose Wisely for a Brighter Future.

The media are essential to democracy, and a democratic election is impossible without media. A free and fair election is not only about the freedom to vote and the knowledge of how to cast a vote, but also about a participatory process where voters engage in public debate and have adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election process itself in order to make informed choices. 

While they have names that describe them as “nationalist”, “democratic”, and “liberal”, the various Philippine political parties are far from being ideological organisations. Instead they are viewed as “catch-all” parties that seek to generate support from all sectors of society. 

As a DevCom student and a catalyst for change, It is one of our job to educate people about choosing the right candidates to lead our nation without any biases. WHO DO YOU CHOOSE TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES?

Assign#1 : The Inequality

As a human I experience inequality especially when you grow up in urban areas like Metro Manila. Based on the article of UN ( United Nation), one of the inequalities that we have now is when it comes to income. Philippines is one of the developing countries in Asia but we know that there are a lot of corrupt leaders here, especially in our government. 

 The UN presented a Goal with 10 targets, I chose 10.4 Adopt policies, especially fiscal, wage and social protection policies, and progressively achieve greater equality because for me, this goal is applicable here in the Philippines. We know that a lot of us are experiencing inequality especially at work, like a lot of us suffer from small minimum wage. That minimum wage can’t even support if you have a big family. You'll work hard,  you extend a lot of time on your job but still the minimum wage or salary is not worth it to feed your family or to buy your wants. I chose this goal because I can see that Philippines can adopt some culture or laws from other country. Laws that can somehow, teach the Filipinos to become more independent individuals and a good and efficient citizen to its country.  I’m happy to see that nowadays, there are so many online sellers who sell any item in order to earn some cash for their necessities. In addition, I saw an information from one of the presedential candidate, Ka Leody De Guzman who has plans to upgrade the minimum wage of the Filipino workers. I think that idea will be successful if that law can be passed in the government.

 Another example of inequality that is very relevant in our time is the bullying. When I was in my 1st year High School I experienced inequality because I studied in private Catholic school wherein most of my classmates are in the higher class. That time they love to brag their new shoes, bags, and other stuff   being an arrogant. but that time I knew to myself that I’m not matured enough to understand those events in my life, to brag their stuff because they are proud of it. I am also a victim of bullying before. During my elementary days in the same school, some of my classmates tend to tease me because of my personality. I also remember one of my classmates wherein his parent was a teacher in that same school so he grabbed the oppurtunity to bully, not just me but my other classmates too. He says foul words to me, always hits me with his towel and punched my arms several times. This kind of inequality happens most of the time inside the school. 

In conclusion, the goal that I chose is applicable to our country because it can serve as a solution to the most relevant problems in our country.

Solitaire sonata wbj

Thought give it ago and cheers to

@ghostmoor for the help 🍹🎶

Solitaire sonata world building june

1. Introduction:

Solitaire Sonata is about a group of unlikely misfit vigilantes known as the “Solitaires” employed by the mayor of Leodis city “Sovereign”. Like many branches of vigilantes dotted all over the world they are the alternative to the police though majority of stuck up, politicians find vigilante branches unorthodox and crude. Particularly the Leodis branch are laughed at especially the motto “Flamboyant Justice”, is seen as a joke.

2. History:

Sonata was originally known as the planet Kepler-452b Earth’s closet cousin planet.That was before an interstellar cloud “Dusk” drifted into earth’s atmosphere,during a solar eclipse. “Dusk” deposited a mass of magic energy on upon most urban and natural environments of the earth. Eventually due to strange changes that occurred within both humans and other organisms. That were dubbed “first wave” those affect by “Dusk” Were mass evicted by the thousands from earth and promptly dumped upon Kepler-45b2.

Over time the emigrants became the inhabitants of the newly christened planet “Sonata” and soon discovered that the planet its self was drenched with magical energy as its main natural resource and thus the inhabitants were able to harvest natural crystal growths that are used as an element for urban energy resources and used as an outlet into developing new technology.

Sonata is 1,400 light years away although moderately accessible via warp dive installed onto a space transportation.

Even now that a few centuries has passed the sonatans are still quite wary of Earth mostly by segregating attitude towards their ancestors. Mainly the fact that they thrown out like garbage so to speak.

3. Language:

Latin as secondary language as its often used for names of countries since most countries are named after Latin equivalents from earth. Latin is often used in magical terms such as alchemy. A country’s first language for example Anglia Sonata’s UK equivalent) their first language would be English.

4. Magic:

Most sonatans have throughout decades of evolution, developed a second blood stream that generates mana in their blood which allows magic and supernatural ability.

5. Technology:

Visually a mix of Steampunk and cybernetic technology. both styles are powered by crystals which functions as alternative to electric and fossil fuels.

6. People & Races:

Mostly contrasts of Anthros, humans and alien visitors or immigrants.

7. Gender/Sexuality:

Various in most species.

8. Hierarchy, Power, & Governance:

Most cities have a mayor or mayoress which are considered royalty and usually voted by general public to govern a city.

Bigger metropolis cities usually have a government party but vast majority are very pompous and narrow minded towards cities that favour vigilante branches that act as the alternative to actual police. Hence a threat to corrupt politicians in so called prestigious metropolis.

9. Civilization & Architecture:

Contrast of steampunk and cyberpunk architectures depending on the districts most have crystal growths growing among urban and leafy places.

10. Music: Mostly generic like on earth.

Since most music formats: physical and digital files and books along side musical instruments were taken with the first wave exiles.

11. Food:

Most food was originally imported from Earth.

I imagine that Sonata is rich with natural resources that be hybrid fruits and such.

12: Weather:

Similar to earth but might be a bit different due to the moon’s “Cygnus” orbit.

Cygnus means swan in Greek Latin and is Kepler-45b2’s actual constellation.

Losing in Style – Ten Takeaways from Titans 26, Eagles 23 (OT)

Dilly Dilly!

The Eagles choked on the road and looked bad doing it, blowing fourth quarter and overtime leads en route to a walk-off touchdown loss.

That has to be the worst defeat of the Doug Pederson era, yeah? I can’t think of anything else that matches Sunday in terms of overall disappointment and distaste. Maybe you can look at the Detroit game back in 2016, when the Birds were 3-0 and coming off a bye week. That was a deflating loss that started the eventual tailspin, though expectations then weren’t even close to being what they are now.

Last year featured only one real clunker, the road loss in Seattle, but that was wiped out by a bounce-back win against the Rams just one week later. The season finale didn’t count for diddly poo and the Kansas City loss took place in week two, so whatever with those games.

Therefore, I think we’ve reached the following conclusion –

Yes, this was the worst defeat of the Doug Pederson era.

1) The secondary

Easy to point fingers at these guys, so we’ll start there.

First, the personnel was different with Rodney McLeod on the shelf. Jim Schwartz brought in Corey Graham as expected but decided to use Avonte Maddox at safety in dime looks while leaving Rasul Douglas on the bench. That amounted to 20 snaps (28% of the game) for Maddox, who had the big interception early but slipped on the Corey Davis touchdown. You saw several instances of confusion in the secondary with Maddox covering the deep middle third of the field and playing a position he says he never played before. 

The tackling was poor, the Titans found some holes in the zone coverage, and you were just waiting for someone to step up and make a play, which didn’t happen, not in the fourth quarter or overtime at least. Ronald Darby missed tackles. Jalen Mills got beat deep a few times. Graham was culpable on the horrible 4th and 15 conversion. Sidney Jones and Malcolm Jenkins committed overtime penalties.

Individually it was poor, but I also don’t think they were set up the correct way, and that’s on Schwartz.

I honestly do think Douglas would make more sense as a 6th defensive back out there or converted safety, and I know what you’re thinking, ‘here goes Kinkead with his West Virginia shit again,’ but just hear me out:

Avonte Maddox has the body type and skill set to be a slot corner. 6’2″ Douglas played in an unorthodox 3-3-5 defense in college where he moved around in a nickel base. He’s taller, more rangy, a ball hawk who doesn’t have great speed but has soft hands and goes up and attacks passes. 5’9″ Maddox played hard-nosed stuff on the inside at Pittsburgh. I personally believe, as Miss Teen South Carolina once said, that you could use Douglas to cover for McLeod, move Sidney Jones to the outside, and play Maddox on the inside, where he competed during training camp and preseason. I really don’t understand using him as a dime safety.

It’s important to point out that Tennessee came into this game throwing the 2nd fewest passes in the NFL. Last week they ran it 35 times and only threw it 21 times in the win against Jacksonville. This time around they threw it 43 times and ran it 22 times, numbers that do skew a bit due to the extra minutes provided by the overtime period, but that’s pretty close to a 66% pass to run ratio, which is not their game at all.

In more simple terms, the Eagles got torched through the air by a running team.

2) Jalen Mills

Not a great game. I especially enjoyed the finger wagging after the dropped pass that literally had nothing to do with his play at all.

On the afternoon, he gave up 99 yards on three targets, including a 20 yard pass interference play where I thought he did a good job to recover from a stumble before wrapping the receiver prior to the ball arriving:

It’s really not bad coverage. He stays with Davis there, he just has to drop the hands, specifically the off-hand in front of the ref, which killed him last week.

I do wonder where the safety help was on the pair of plays where he got beat deep. That’s hard to identify without the all-22 film, which is released by the league on Wednesday, but here’s what I found going through the regular video:

That was the 51 yarder to Davis. The Eagles were in cover 3 and Graham bit on a shallow route, leaving Mills with no cover over the top.

Also this:

The Titans run a couple of receivers on the strong side and Davis hits Mills with a double move on the outside. Graham can’t help because he’s trending to the side with multiple route runners.

Otherwise that’s it, Mills wasn’t targeted beyond those three times, not that I see when I go over the game film.

I wrote a column last week that basically amounted to  “Jalen Mills is what he is,” which is a 7th round draft pick, a solid tackler, a physical overachiever who really does not have elite speed or elite athleticism. I think people have to remember that he beat out guys like Leodis McKelvin and Ron Brooks and Aarony Grymes for a spot, which brings us to where we are now.

The thing with Mills, is that when he gets beat, it looks bad. Ronald Darby got beat yesterday and Sidney Jones committed a horrendous penalty in overtime. Those plays are killers, but they don’t happen 35 yards down the field. When Mills bites on a double move in space with no safety help over the top, the optics of his fuck ups just look worse than the optics of other people’s fuck ups, even though everyone is fucking up.

Is that a fair point?

I’m not saying he’s an amazing player, I’m just trying to come at it from an angle other than “omg Jalen Mills sucks cut his ass right now.”

3) Personnel and play calling

I thought Carson Wentz looked pretty good on the day. I wouldn’t put too much of the fumble on him since Lane Johnson did his best turnstile impersonation on that play.

Defensively, I mentioned the Maddox deployment earlier. Fletcher Cox played 60 snaps for an 85% mark and Haloti Ngata was up to 52%. He and Michael Bennett (51%) have been preferred to Destiny Vaeao on the inside and Bennett has been playing a lot of time there also because the depth at DT is not what it is at DE.

Offensively, they gave Jay Ajayi 15 carries, nine of which took place later in the game. Wendell Smallwood carried the ball five times and Josh Adams was given zero carries while Corey Clement missed the game through injury. The Eagles really did not run the ball much through the early part of the game, just six times out of 25 play calls through the Birds’ first four series. Doug didn’t commit to the ground game until later on.

Pederson also only showed eight under center sets on the entire day. Most of the running came out of the shotgun, and a lot of the under center play-action passes were disastrous, with the offensive line struggling to allow those slow-developing sequences to flourish against a strong Tennessee pass rush.

As for special teams, DeAndre Carter had a really nice punt return doing spot duty back there. The Eagles had zero kick returns, which would have gone to Smallwood if Ryan Succop hadn’t booted every single thing into the end zone.

4) Offensive line

Poor game from the Eagles’ best unit.

I don’t feel like this was talked about much during the week, but Tennessee was the first 3-4 base defense the Birds played against this year. I don’t know how much that played a role in the O-line struggles, but I want to think it did. Harold Landry and Jayon Brown had good games on the left side of that D, and they really do show you a lot of looks that fluctuate from a front three to a front four or five, with guys coming at you from different angles than what you’d get in a typical 4-3.

Here’s an example of one of those slow under center play-action passes that just took too long to develop:

I have no idea what Lane Johnson is doing there. He sticks a hand out and holds position while Brown runs right by him, so it makes me think they were trying to set up some sort of screen.

But look at this Titans’ front –

They’re only running two defensive linemen here, a pair of tackles in DaQuan Jones and Bennie Logan. They put three linebackers on the line of scrimmage and rush five while using Rashaan Evans and safety Kendrick Lewis in shallow coverage:

Looks like some 2012 Eagles wide-9 shit there. I like the 3-4 base because you can do a lot of different things with hybrid defensive end/linebacker tweeners, which Tennessee has plenty of, studs like Landry, Brian Orakpo, and Sharif Finch.

Carson Wentz was sacked four times Sunday, which follows five sacks allowed last week and three the week before. Wentz was hit 11 times total on 52 drop backs and the line conceded six tackles for loss.

5) One-dimensional?

The Eagles defense held Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry to 24 rushing yards.

Seriously.

Marcus Mariota accounted for 46 of the Titans’ 70 rushing yards, which was their lowest total of the year, even with an extra overtime period to pad their numbers.

Again, it’s not really a defensive line thing. They make teams one-dimensional, and when they do, the secondary should be able to clamp down in nickel assuming you can get a decent pass rush going or throw some different blitz looks at the opponent. They sacked Marcus Mariota three times, flushed him from the pocket other times, hit him on six occasions, and did do a decent job overall, decent enough to the point where that game should have been won in regulation.

The Eagles generally have trouble with Russell Wilson type quarterbacks who can run around like a chicken with their head cut off then heave a 50 yard ball to one of five receivers running a route. That wasn’t Tennessee yesterday, but there were a few occasions where Mariota was able to extend plays with his feet and they rolled him and bootlegged him about 6-7 times during this game.

I think the line was pretty gassed by the time the Titans were on their 34th and 35th minute of possession in overtime. You can’t sustain a pass rush against a team going 66% to 33% in a pass/run ratio for five periods of play. It just doesn’t happen. At some point, the secondary needs to make a play, and they didn’t.

Also, can people stop saying the Titans suck? They don’t suck. They were 9-7 last season and won a road playoff game. They are 3-1 this year. They are a decent team.

6) Zach Ertz

He’s on pace to have a million targets this season, or at least it seems that way.

Seriously though, he’s been targeted 33 times through four games, so he’s projected to receive 132 targets over the course of 16 games.

For context, DeAndre Hopkins led the NFL with 176 targets last season. Travis Kelce was the top tight end with 123 looks. Ertz hit 110 on the season, so he’s well on pace to shatter that mark.

I drew a diagram of what I believe was his route chart and heatmap:

Ertz just kept finding that soft spot in the middle of the zone, and Wentz hit him there over and over and over again.

Ok, here’s the real thing.

White lines are completed passes and green is yards after the catch:

Close enough.

Ertz caught 10 of 14 targets for 110 yards Sunday, though Wentz didn’t find him in the end zone.

That honor went to:

7) Alshon Jeffery

Gotta be the biggest positive from otherwise shitty afternoon.

He just makes plays that other receivers can’t make. I’m talking about tough sideline grabs, contested back shoulder throws, jump balls in the corner, and key red zone receptions.

Alshon caught eight balls for 105 yards and a score, and while the touchdown might have been his best grab, he really had a couple of early snags to get himself and the Eagles going. Particularly, there was a great 34 yard reception he made on a 3rd and 4 to keep the chains moving. He caught another one later going up against Malcolm Butler and the only blemish on the day was the catch and fumble that disallowed a first down in Tennessee’s half of the field.

Welcome back Alshon Jeffery, or “Jefferies” if you’re a moron and still can’t get his name right.

8) Doug’s best call?

Probably the decision to pound the ball with the running game to begin overtime.

That’s about it.

9) Doug’s worst call?

Obviously I hated the choice to punt with three minutes left in the fourth quarter on that fourth down and four. The Eagles got the stop and got the ball back to force overtime, but that punt felt antithetical to everything we’ve seen from Doug over the last year or so.

I also did not like the third down draw play right before halftime, the run on 3rd and 3 at Tennessee’s ten yard line. You’ve got Alshon matched up 1v1 in the red zone. Throw him the damn ball.

That felt like the same shit Penn State did on Saturday night in their Ohio State choke job, running the ball when everyone knows you should have thrown it instead.

This just didn’t feel like a Doug Pederson type of game. Mike Vrabel was the coach making gutsy fourth down decisions on the other sideline.

10) Like deja vu all over again

We got Chris Myers and Daryl Johnston and Laura Okmin for the second straight week. Shouldn’t that be a violation in and of itself? Why not just rotate the crews so they aren’t calling the same team two weeks in a row?

The good thing was that Myers was unable to mispronounce “Clement” this time, since Corey Clement didn’t play. It did sound like one of the pair kept saying “Ajayi” wrong, but I honestly did not pay much attention to the broadcast. This group is fine, but they just don’t do anything to get me super excited OR super annoyed. They just sort of exist, which isn’t the worst thing in the world.

My only real complaint with the broadcast is that we got that commercial with the hypnotist sitting in his front yard. He snaps his fingers and asks some guy to clean his gutters, then says this:

“Todd, you go make me a “fertata”

I don’t know why he pronounces it that way because the dish is a “frittata.” It’s an Italian egg-based casserole type of thing, and it’s spelled with the F-R-I, not F-E-R. There’s no such thing as a “fertata.”

Anyway, that annoys me, but not as much as the Eagles losing on a 16 play, 75 yard drive in overtime.

Len Pattersons 2017 NFL 1st Round Mock Draft Follow me on Twitter @lendoggy_80

1. Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M All signs point to the Browns selecting Garrett here. He is a game changing end that the Browns hope can deliver 15-20 sacks per year. Denver has shown that you can win games with an elite defence and this is a piece to build around for the Browns. With no clear #1 QB in this draft, Cleveland is left taking the best prospect available. You would have to think if there is a QB the Browns fall in love with they are hoping he falls to them at 12, or they use an extra pick to move up from 12 to get him earlier. Keep in mind; they could be planning on packaging pick 12 and then some, to try to get Jimmy Garoppolo from New England.

2. San Francisco 49ers: Jamal Adams, S, LSU I know everyone is predicting Solomon Thomas the end from Stanford here but I disagree. The 49ers have used their last 2 first round picks on the Defensive Line with the boys from Oregon. With Aaron Lynch, Armstead and Buckner I would hope those guys can create enough pressure for the secondary to make some plays as is. Eric Reid who is often injured is a fine big hitting Safety but I think the 49ers should go with a playmaker here. Adams has been compared to Ed Reed, and as I don’t see him being an all-around hall of famer like Reed, Adams is still a player that can change the game with INTS and forced fumbles plus an ability to cover. A possible Defensive rookie of the year candidate, Adams is 2nd pick in this year’s draft.

3. Chicago Bears: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama O.J Howard is the best pass catcher in the entire draft in my opinion. If you are the Bears, you found Jordan Howard, you signed Mike Glennon and lost Alshon Jeffrey. In order to win, they will need to surround Glennon with another weapon or two. Howard’s stock has been rising and he is a safe security blanket for the new QB in Chicago. I don’t see the value in a Defensive Lineman here as they have a few good young pieces in Bullard and Floyd from last year’s draft.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU The Jaguars are going to stand behind Blake Bortles for at least one more season. Surrounding him with enough talent to win has been hit or miss for the Jaguars as of late. They brought in a whole bunch of above average pass catchers but the one thing the Jags have been missing since MJD and Fred Taylor is an effective run game. As I am not as high on Fournette as some are, you can’t deny his production at LSU. He was an absolute beast, and if he can turn those 3rd and 9s into 3rd and 3s the Jaguars, again, could be a dark horse to win the AFC south. Their defence is loaded with young productive players and I don’t think it makes sense to add another top tier defensive prospect with all the high picks they’ve spent in previous years.

5. Tennessee Titans: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State The Titans have built a pretty decent roster throughout the draft in recent years. Focusing on the offensive side of the ball has been working, but if they want to make the jump to winning division titles they will need to address the defence. With no stand out stars, other than an aging Brian Orakpo, and the recent departure of Jason McCourty the Titans will want a top tier CB to cover the likes of Allen Robinson, T.Y Hilton and DeAndre Hopkins. Lattimore can cover zone and man, and has above average ball skills. He is a perfect pick for a team knocking on the playoffs door, but missing a few key pieces on their defence.

6. New York Jets: Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina What are the Jets doing? Are they rebuilding? Are they making a playoff push? Is Josh Mccowan any type of answer? They release Brandon Marshall, but keep Matt Forte? There is nothing positive coming out of New Jersey regarding Petty or Hackenburg that suggests they are “the guy” for the Jets. The Jets hate playing second fiddle to the Giants in New York, therefore I see them selecting Trubisky here. He is the QB with the most upside in my opinion, having only started 13 games at Carolina. He has a live arm, great size and above average speed. If the Jets can let him guy sit for a season and develop they could end up with their much needed franchise QB.

7. Los Angeles Chargers: Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford The Chargers offence has been pretty good with a steady Rivers, and Keenan Allen should be back for the season opener. Although there is a need for offensive line, there is no one with enough value to grab here at 7. I could see the Chargers trading out of this spot for a team looking to move up to grab a QB, but if LA stays here I think they will go best player available and draft Soloman Thomas. Bosa was a breakout player for them last year and no one projected him going to the Chargers. I see them adding another versatile defensive lineman to the mix and the Chargers are building a roster based on the Broncos model.

8. Carolina Panthers: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State The Panthers have invested a lot of money into their front 4, they still have their top linebackers and when they made it to the Super Bowl, they had a great secondary. Hooker is a playmaker in the back end, can cover, hit and attack the football. I can’t remember the last great safety for the Panthers, and they are hoping they can get pressure on the QB so Hooker can make plays like he did at Ohio State. They will be tempted to take Dalvin Cook here, as the Panthers have old, often injured Jon Stewart, but there are plenty of running backs to take on day 2.

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Jonathan Allen, DE/DT, Alabama The Bengals have lost a lot of talent the last couple years and the when the Bengals are most dominant it’s when Peko, Geno Atkins and Dunlap are going full throttle. Atkins hasn’t been the same since he tore up his knee a few seasons ago and Dunlap has a few years left playing at an elite level. Allen will give the Bengals versatility to stuff the run and rush the passer. Type “Jonathan Allen Superman” into youtube and you will see why this guy is going to be a top 10 pick. Some are worried about his shoulder injury, but Allen is a top 5 prospect, if he slips the Bengals should pull the trigger here.

10. Buffalo Bills: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama Buffalo hired a new coach this year and with that I could see the Bills trying to build their defence the way Sean Mcdermott did in Carolina. The front seven played pretty well last year and they sunk their first two picks last year into the front 7 as well. With losing Gilmore this offseason to the Patriots I could see the Bills taking the top corner available in Humphrey. Carolinas defence played its best with Josh Norman, and while I’m not saying Humphrey is the next Norman, he does have similar traits. Humphrey is a polished prospect that doesn’t shy away from hits. He would be a day one starter for the Bills, who need secondary help.

11. New Orleans Saints: Christian McCaffrey, RB/WR, Stanford The Saints only have one or two more years left with Drew Brees and they will go as far as he will take them. The Saints lost a lot of versatility when Darren Sproles departed few years ago and they traded Jimmy Graham and Brandon Cooks. If the Saints want to help Brees out they should take McCaffrey, the do it all RB from Stanford. McCaffrey has some of the best hands in the draft and can be a weapon out of the back field for Brees and the Saints. Mark Ingram has some miles on him and they recently let Tim Hightower walk. McCaffrey has been moving up draft boards and I think this is a sneaky high value pick for the Saints and their offence.

12. Cleveland Browns: Kevin King, CB, Washington It’s hard to tell what the Browns are thinking here at pick 12. I don’t think Watson or Kizer are worthy of a top 12 pick, and I don’t see the Browns reaching on a QB just because they “have to.” Regardless of what QB they select in this draft he is going to have to wait. Kevin Kings stock has shot up since his pro day. The Browns are using a lot of analytics to draft recently and the value and players at linebacker don’t add up here and they already will take a D end if my predictions are correct. Joe Haden might have convert to safety and the Browns still have to cover Antonio Brown and AJ Green.

13. Arizona Cardinals: John Ross, WR, Washington The Cardinals are convinced Carson Palmer is still a productive QB and can lead them to the playoffs. If this is the case they will need to add another weapon on offense. Another player whose stock has risen is John Ross, largely due to running a 4.22 in the 40 at the combine; everyone has moved Ross up the board. Bruce Arians loves to run deep routes and there is no one more suited to take the top off a defence than Ross. With John Brown and Ross on the outside and Larry Fitz in the slot, it will be up to Palmer to get them back atop the NFC West.

14. Philadelphia Eagles: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State The Eagles secondary was poor last year, as the Leodis Mckelvin experiment didn’t work out and as the year went on their secondary continued to get exposed. It’s hard to pass on Mike Williams and Corey Davis here but the Eagles did a nice job surrounding Wentz with weapons signing Torrey Smith and Alshon Jeffrey to help him develop. Conley is another great prospect in Ohio States back end that can help right away in the nickle with a plan to start him in the future.

15. Indianapolis Colts: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State The Colts defence has been underperforming for a couple years but it will be hard for them to pass on a top tier running back here. Cook is a work horse that can take some of the pressure away from Luck. The Colts have plenty of holes to fill but the most important thing is to give as much help as they can to Luck with a skill position. I don’t understand trading away Dwayne Allen but they still have plenty of pass catchers. Colts will need to address the defence later on in the draft.

16. Baltimore Ravens: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan The Ravens have always tried to have an elite defence. With Suggs aging and injury prone they need an end that can get to the QB and also stop the run. Charlton has moved up boards the last couple weeks and with the Harbaugh connection the Ravens will get all the inside information they need to draft Taco here. Charlton can learn from one of the greats and be a plug and play guy for the Ravens. If they want to be at the top of the AFC North they will have to get to Big Ben and knock him down.

17. Washington Redskins: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama The first offensive lineman comes off the board late this year. The Redskins have had a decent offensive line for the last couple seasons but I think this is a perfect fit for the Skins. Robinson can kick into guard this year and learn from Trent Williams for the move outside in the next couple years. Williams is getting older, injured and suspended so it’s always a good idea to have a solid project for the years to come and a just in case Tackle if something was to happen to Williams during the course of the year. The Skins will only go as far Cousins will take them and they need to keep him healthy and upright.

18. Tennessee Titans: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson I think the Titans will be holding their breath for Williams or Davis to fall to them. Marriota has done a fantastic job with the mediocre wide outs he has been given thus far and here is the chance to give him a true #1 WR. Williams didn’t run at the combine due to thoughts that his QB Desaun Watson would run faster than he would, but, when Williams ran at his pro day he quelled all the concerns. Williams has above average straight line speed, can win one on ones and is a great hands catcher that will go up top over corners for the completion. Williams will be a great redzone complement with Delanie Walker to help Marriota become an elite QB we all hope he becomes.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee The Bucs have built a pretty good roster the last couple of years and found a couple good defensive players later in the draft. The one thing the Bucs are missing though is an elite defensive end. Gerald Mccoy would love this pick to take some of the attention off of him in the middle. If the Bucs want to make the next step this would be a great pick to help out the defence that is tasked to slow down Newton, Brees and Ryan.

20. Denver Broncos: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple More defence for Denver? The Broncos have lost Demarcus Ware and Malik Jackson from the Defensive line and have had some injuries at linebacker. Reddick is a do it all linebacker from Temple that can rush the pass and showed great coverage at the Senior Bowl. Reddicks stock probably increased the most from the Senior Bowl and is riding it all the way into the top 20. Reddick looks like a kid that could step in and start right away, a three down linebacker that can bring the Broncos defence back to an elite level.

21. Detroit Lions: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama The slide ends here, as Foster who is considered a top 10 pick makes his way to pick 21. Foster had a strange encounter while at the combine and didn’t work out there either. There are also injury concerns around Foster. The Lions will go with the best available player and also fill a need at linebacker. They lost Deandre Levy and Foster can fill that hole. A value here for the Lions as Foster could be a 3 down backer that play sideline to sideline.

22. Miami Dolphins: Jabrill Peppers, S/LB, Michigan The hate for Peppers has gone too far! Peppers, who is one of the most versatile players in the draft was a weapon on offense and special teams at Michigan during his time there. Miami’s offense looks set with pass catchers and the emergence of Jay Ajayi so they should take Peppers to boost the defensive side. Kiki Alonso played well at linebacker last year but Peppers is the type of player that you can stick on the field and he can make plays covering WRs, TEs and RBs.

23. New York Giants: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt The Giants have spent a lot of money on defense in free agency last year and it paid off. I could see the Giants selecting a running back here if one of the top 3 fall, but if not they need to build up there line backing core as their defensive line and secondary are set. Giants could use a sideline to sideline backer to bring their defence to an elite status and contend for a Super Bowl this year.

24. Oakland Raiders: David Njoku, TE, Miami Al Davis will be smiling with this pick. David Njoku is just the type of prospect Al loved. This guy is an absolute freak, a wide receiver in a tight ends body. He is super-fast, has great hands, runs well and is a playmaker. Who better to surround David Carr with, but an impressive tight end to complement Crabtree, Patterson and Cooper on the outside? The Raiders are a serious Super Bowl contender and a team the Patriots will have to be scared of moving forward with such an explosive offence.

25. Houston Texans: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin I don’t think there is any way the Texans take a quarterback here, there’s a slim chance they take Desaun Watson as he is the most ready to play. I say that because the Texans already have a Super Bowl caliber defence and that was without JJ Watt last season. Clowney has developed into a top end and there are so many first round picks on defense they are set. They just need a QB, as there isn’t much of a future with Tom Savage. Tony Romo would have made them a threat, but if the Texans are confident with their QB situation then they must protect him. The Texans have had injuries on their offensive line for years and Duane Brown is aging. Ramczyk played one year at Wisconsin and was a beast, a kid you could start at right tackle as a rookie with the thoughts of moving him to the left side as Duane Brown moves on in his career.

26. Seattle Seahawks: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah The Seahawks have had offensive line troubles since Russell Wilson started playing QB there. It’s time to put together a solid line unit for Wilson to get them back into the Super Bowl. The Seahawks signed former 2nd overall pick Luke Joeckle to play guard and I think a nice pick would be Bolles to start at tackle for them this year. Seahawks should have some good information coming from a west coast school and Pete should still have some connections with some of the west coast guys to give info on the physical mammoth Bolles. Russell Wilson approves of this pick.

27. Kansas City Chiefs: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan If Corey Davis slides past pick 12-15 I could see him dropping into the late 20s. A guy that was hot at the end of the college football season, he has done nothing to enhance his stock or cement it. Davis has been hurt and with a small school prospect teams haven’t gotten a real gauge on how good he is with a combine or pro day. Cheifs found a gem in Tyreke Hill last year but Chris Conley hasn’t developed and what happened to Jeremy Maclin? The run game is always good with Andy Reid and Alex Smith has a few years left, so I see them adding Davis to the outside as a nice complement to the pieces they already have.

28. Dallas Cowboys: Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida If Jarred Davis didn’t suffer an injury late in the Gators season I could see him rivaling as the top linebacker in the draft. Can anyone remember who the Cowboys linebackers are after oft-injured Sean Lee? The Cowboys defence over achieved last year playing with a lead all season, and when they needed to stop the Packers in the playoffs the Packers marched down the field, twice, to score and win. We all know that Rod Marineli only needs bodies on the defensive line and he will churn out above average performance. Davis is a side line to side line big hitting linebacker that will complement Sean Lee perfectly, as both great run stuffers and two tough guys that would be great to keep in the game when playing the nickle.

29. Green Bay Packers: T.J. Watt, DE/OLB, Wisconsin Packers jersey sales soar as the Packers select a Badger AND he’s a Watt! The Packers continue to select ends and linebackers in the top of the draft for years, with some hitting and some flopping. Watt has huge potential and could be perfect to come off the edge leaving Clay to roam as he has done for years now. If TJ is anything like JJ in his work ethic I can see this guy developing into a double digit sack player.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson The QB slide ends here! Did anyone really think Big Ben was going to retire? With enough money in the bank and Ben taking huge hits over his career you could see him retiring after one more big injury or after another Super Bowl run this season. Watson is a winner and spending a year or two behind Ben could really help him develop, as it seems like every year we see Landry Jones come in for a couple games and look below average. Watson is someone I could see come in this season in spot duty and win some games. The Steelers have a championship roster and I think this is the year they set themselves up for the future.

31. Atlanta Falcons: Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA It’s hard to say that the Falcons have a huge need as they essentially won the Super Bowl if they didn’t blow it late in the game. Dan Quin has built a solid defense with his time there and Beasley did what they thought he would coming out of Clemson. This could be a best available pick here and another weapon for the Falcons on the defensive side to come off the edge and help stop the run. McKinley is a raw prospect and could be a steal of a pick with the idea he plays 40% of snaps rushing the passer on 3rd downs.

32. New Orleans Saints: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida The Saints acquired this pick with the Brandon Cooks trade to the Patriots. With rumors of the Saints trying to trade for Malcom Butler or Richard Sherman it sounds like they want a Corner. Wilson has the perfect blend of size and speed to play man coverage for the Saints. With Pick 11 the Saints take someone to help Drew Brees score 35 points a game, and this pick will help the Saints stop the team from hopefully scoring 40. I see Wilson as a day one starter on the outside.

Closing remarks:

The 2017 Draft feels loaded with prospects, there were another 10-20 players I could see going in the first round past pick 16. This is the year to trade down. Here are some prospects I could see going in the first round come April 27th.

Forrest Lamp, G/C, Western Kentucky Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri Adoree Jackson, CB/KR, USC Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA Pat Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida Budda Baker, S, Washington Malik McDowell, DE/DT, Michigan State Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina
