Fully predictive mock. I'm trying to guess exactly what will happen on draft day. |
Round:1
Raiders:
Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana 
Ya basic
Jets:
Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State 
Very confident it will be Reese.
Cardinals:
Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami 
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. The tackle guard flexibility of Mauigoa sets them up for the future.
Titans:
Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami
In the midst of all the Jeremiyah Love hype, I'm here to be your voice of reason. Screw arm length, Bain has some of the best tape in the class at a premium position. I don't see Saleh passing him up, given how much he transforms their D-line.
Giants:
Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame 
Quite an unpopular pick for some reason. Everyone acting like Skat can't be part of the best 1-2 punch in the league. Could see this being Downs, highly doubt it's Styles, and something tells me they won't go O-line, especially with Mauigoa off the board.
Cowboys:
David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech 
TRADE!! Browns trade back again, Cowboys go all in to compete and work to keep their other first too. They need pass rush and they swing for hometown upside.
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.
Saints:
Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
The obvious pick if he's available.
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.
Bengals:
Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State
Feels obvious. Linebacker was SUCH a problem this season, and Styles has the RAS the Bengals love.
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.
Browns:
Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia 
Browns trade back and nab a key O-line piece for the future. Perhaps they go receiver, or simply pick Tate at 6, but this way they net picks, move up in the first round with their second pick, setting them up for a receiver, and address O-line with their top available prospect.
Rams:
Spencer Fano, OT, Utah 
Officially the weirdest pick in my draft. I'm just not buying the receiver hype for the Rams, and ultimately don't view them as having any major needs to contend now. Unless they get a crazy BPA option at 13, look for them to trade back or simply build for the future. Fano provides tackle-guard flexibility, both as a useful 6th man if they need it this season, and as a future guard when they both current guards hit free agency next year.
Ravens:
Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State 
I think the Ravens would love Spencer Fano, but in this mock he doesn't make it to them. Instead they make the no brainer pick of Vega.
Buccaneers:
Akheem Mesidor, DE, Miami
Bucs have been teetering between contending and blowing everything up, and this pick helps solidify that course. They get a pro-ready pass rusher today, and if they can't manage to compete over the next couple of years, so be it. Mesidor doesn't need to be their edge of the future, but he can be a really good player today.
Jets:
Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee 
A lot of different directions the Jets could go. I kind of think they may double down on defense and save receiver for day 2, and Mccoy has so much upside at a position they need.
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.
Vikings:
Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
I Love this guy. I think he goes pretty high. I feel quite confident the Vikings take him if he's available.
49ers:
Max Iheanschor, OT, Arizona State 
TRADE!! 49ers get aggressive for their Trent Williams replacement. As tackle starts to thin, they will need to move up to get their guy, and I just can't help but see Max being a perfect fit for Shanahan's system.
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.
Steelers:
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo 
Not a ton of needs for the Steelers. I'm not buying the Simpson first round hype, at least not for the Steelers. Steelers take a high floor player at a position of need.
Chargers:
Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU 
Chargers may not be prioritizing corner, but hard to avoid taking Delane if he falls to them.
Patriots:
Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
TRADE!! 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, and trade up to ensure that they can get him. Bonus if they snipe the Bills. They desperately want a receiver, and this feels like a no brainer if Tyson falls far enough.
Cowboys:
Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech
How fun is this. Cowboys go all-in on defense with two Texas Tech ballers.
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.
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.
Panthers:
K.C. Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M 
Panthers trade down because they don't have any major needs to fill at pick 19. There's an argument for Delane, but I think they're happy with Mike Jackson. They could use another receiver, and Concepcion rounds out their core beautifully.
Texans:
Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech
I'm stuck between Hunter and Woods. I like Hunter more as a fit, so even though Woods might be considered by most to be a better prospect, I'll go with Hunter. O-line really isn't worth picking here.
Chiefs:
Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn 
Chiefs caught in a weird position where they need D-line but a lot of the top options feel like awkward picks. I landed on Faulk, but could be any one of him, Woods, Howell, Parker, or Young.
Dolphins:
Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama 
Again, who knows. My top guesses for this mock are Terrell and Proctor, but OT will be harder to find later.
Eagles:
Cashius Howell, DE, Texas A&M
Eagles are always happy to trade back, and I don't love the outlook at pick 23. I 100% believe they will pick trenches in the first, and I just really like Howell. I think he's a first round talent, and the Eagles often tend to simply take the best players they can get.
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. A trade down is also a possibility, especially if someone is looking to move up for Simpson.
