Fully predictive mock. I'm trying to guess exactly what will happen on draft day.


Round:1
1. Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana

Ya basic

2. Jets: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State

Very confident it will be Reese.

3. Cardinals: Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia

Might not be fun or flashy, but Cardinals needs O-line badly, and if they can't find a trade partner (nobody's coming up to three), they'll bite the bullet. Freeling over Mauigoa for upside.

4. Titans: Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami

They take Bain 100% if he falls.

5. Giants: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame

Quite unpopular pick for some reason. Everyone acting like Skat can't be part of the best 1-2 punch in the league. Could see Downs, highly doubt it's Styles, and something tells me they won't go O-line. BPA all the way.

6. Cowboys: David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech

TRADE!! Browns trade back again, Cowboys go all in to compete and work to keep another first too. They need pass rush and they swing for hometown upside.

7. Commanders: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State

Really tough spot to be in. They probably should take receiver, but I kind of think they'd rather go BPA on defense because man, Dan Quinn needs to get things right. Unsure if he drops to to injury concerns though. Something to monitor.

8. Saints: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

The obvious pick if he's available.

9. Chiefs: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon

This pick will surprise some, but the Chiefs quietly need another weapon, and with Kelce out the door, they'll be looking to continue their historic tight end lineage.

10. Bengals: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State

Feels obvious. Linebacker was SUCH a problem this season, and Styles has the RAS the Bengals love.

11. Dolphins: Makai Lemon, WR, USC

Really tough pick to make. They need everything and have a first-time GM, they could go a thousand different directions. Out of all of their needs though, receiver is the biggest. Hafley made it work with CB situation in GB too, so I'm out on this being corner.

12. Browns: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami

Traded back and still got Mauigoa. What a perfect board for the Browns.

13. Buccaneers: Akheem Mesidor, DE, Miami

TRADE!! Bucs are at a tipping point between getting their shit together and competing and totally nuking things and rebuilding. Mesidor is very good now. They will get aggressive.

14. Ravens: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

Feels like a weird pick but I can see the Ravens making it. Fano projects as a guard but he has the added upside of being your swing tackle for when Stanley misses games.

15. Rams: Cashius Howell, DE, Texas A&M

Everyone and their mother says receiver for some reason. They don't really need anything right now though, hence the trade back. Cashius Howell provides potential pass rush help this year, and can replace Byron Young next year. Him next to Verse is awesome.

16. Jets: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson

Defensive rebuild, BPA that's not Corner. Could be Thienemann but interior is a real need and they get their pick of the litter.

17. Lions: Blake Miller, OT, Clemson

They get their lineman. Even if it seems early, he feels like a Detroit guy, and is higher floor than the alternatives.

18. Vikings: Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon

Love this guy. I think he goes pretty high. I feel quite good about this pick if he makes it to them.

19. Panthers: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

The fall ends, and the Panthers profit. Not a great spot for the Panthers, easy BPA choice.

20. Browns: Omar Cooper, WR, Indiana

They got a lineman, now their biggest need is far and away receiver. I think Tyson falls with his medicals, and Cooper is a hot prospect.

21. Steelers: Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State

Vega falls, you take Vega. Don't think the Steelers pass up on the value.

22. 49ers: Max Iheanaschor, OT, Arizona State

TRADE!! 49ers have been known to be aggressive at times but this may be Trent Williams' replacement. Max is a freaky athlete and I think the league will love him.

23. Eagles: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

Outside of a crazy BPA, I'm very confident this will be trenches. Edge is pretty thin here, so I think we draft and develop Lomu.

24. Cowboys: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech

How fun is this. Cowboys go all-in on defense with two in-state Texas Tech ballers.

25. Bears: Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State

Honestly Poles is an enigma to try to predict. I think it may be a sort of strange reach on the defense, and McDonald fits that mold.

26. Bills: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

Who says they can't still attack wide receiver? With Brady as HC, watch him immediately look to UNO reverse card their biggest weakness last season.

27. Chargers: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

He will drop due to injury concerns, but eventually someone will probably take the shot, and I could see it being the Chargers. TBH doesn't feel like a Chargers pick at all, but I'll throw a dart.

28. Texans: Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech

Get some run-D on the interior. Really crafty pick for a team without a ton of major needs. O-line would be nice but no one's available here.

29. Chiefs: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson

Another weird pick I could totally see happening. Feels like the D-line spot and they may go for upside over Faulk's lack of pass rush.

30. Dolphins: Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama

Again, who knows. Developmental O-lineman is definitely on the list of possibilities.

31. Patriots: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

His medicals might be some of the most concerning, but for a team like the Patriots who's trying to keep the momentum off of what was the flukiest season ever, they need to take swings for high-impact positions. Not usually easy to do from pick 29, so they'll snatch up Tyson. Remember all the AJ Brown trade buzz? They want a wide receiver.

32. Seahawks: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame

Another pick I feel really strong about. Might not be sexy but RB is a major need and in this class it's Price or bust essentially. For that, they'll have to pay a bit extra than his draft value would indicate.
