This Mock Draft has a few caveats before we get started. Let me know your thoughts. This Mock Draft will hopefully be updated weekly until the draft.
- NO TRADES will be in this mock, its too tricky to anticipate compensation
- Lamar Jackson is a Raven for the purposes of this Mock Draft
- Aaron Rodgers will become a New York Jet
Carolina Panthers - (via CHI) Bryce Young QB Alabama
This could go either way, my gut is saying it'll be Young. The QB from Alabama becomes the new face of the franchise.
Houston Texans - C.J. Stroud QB Ohio State
The Texans truly start the rebuild with arguably the best QB in the class and a dynamic passer
Arizona Cardinals - Will Anderson DE Alabama
A very likely trade spot, but in this instance AZ goes for the immediate impact edge rusher to bolster their defense
Indianapolis Colts - Will Levis QB Kentucky
Another gut feeling here, I've heard that the Colts have done a deep dive on Levis, they finally get their franchise guy
Seattle Seahawks - (via DEN) Tyree Wilson DE Texas Tech
Rumors are that Jalen Carter may not be on the Hawks board, Wilson fits what the Seahawks desire, long, athletic, lots of upside
Detroit Lions - Jalen Carter DT Georgia
Many believe Carter to be the most talented player in the draft, Carter and Hutchinson could anchor the Lions line for the next decade
Las Vegas Raiders - Anthony Richardson QB Florida
It's no secret the Raiders have long coveted freak athletes, the Raiders take Richardson hoping he's ready sooner than later
Atlanta Falcons - Myles Murphy DE Clemson
The first shocker, Murphy is a talented defensive end that can be an instant impact.
Chicago Bears - (via CAR) Paris Johnson Jr. OT Ohio State
Johnson was the best tackle in America last year and looks like the prototype at left tackle.
Philadelphia Eagles - (via NO) Quentin Johnston WR TCU
Philly adds another WR with incredible size allowing Devonta Smith to play slot full time with Johnston as a true outside receiver
Tennessee Titans - Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR Ohio State
The Titans are ecstatic to see the best WR in the draft fall to them, JSN could be the number 1 option on day 1
Houston Texans - Christian Gonzalez CB Oregon
Houston was 17th in completion percentage against and had over 4,000 yards passing surrendered, Gonzalez provides talent and grit
New York Jets - Peter Skoronski OT Northwestern
Aaron Rodgers is going to need someone to protect him and Skoronski could be an immediate impact
New England Patriots - Lukas Van Ness DE Iowa
A raw pass rusher that scouts seem to have fallen in love with, with his upside and hustle, LVN makes too much sense here
Green Bay Packers - Michael Mayer TE Notre Dame
Green Bay grabs the best tight end in the country and one of the best TE prospects of the last few years to help Jordan Love
Washington Commanders - Devon Witherspoon CB Illinois
Rivera bolsters an already mean pass defense with corner that can cover, blitz, and attack against the run
Pittsburgh Steelers - Broderick Jones OT Georgia
Pittsburgh is going to need to upgrade their offensive line if they want to protect Kenny Pickett and help their running game
Detroit Lions - Dalton Kincaid TE Utah
Detroit adds a dynamic playmaker to help Goff and compliment St. Brown
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Brian Branch S Alabama
No one was worse in the league last year at giving up passing touchdowns, Branch can help rectify this
Seattle Seahawks - Jordan Addison WR USC
Metcalf effectively has 2 years left on his deal and Lockett can't play forever, beyond those two Seattle is full of question marks at WR
Miami Dolphins - *FOREFEITED*
LA Chargers - Bijan Robinson RB Texas
Austin Ekler seems to be on his way out, Robinson may be one of the most complete backs of the last 10 years
Baltimore Ravens - Joey Porter Jr. CB Penn State
Baltimore allowed better than 66% completions last year and with Burrow and Watson on the schedule twice a year, Porter makes a perfect fit.
Minnesota Vikings - Kalijah Cancy DT Pittsburgh
The Vikings reel in Cancy a freakish talent at DT that can revitalize a pedestrian rush defense
Jacksonville Jaguars - O'Cyrus Torrence G Florida
This pick makes too much sense, the Jags upgrade their interior OL with a massive athlete with tons of upside to protect Lawrence
New York Giants - Zay Flowers WR Boston College
The Giants add an absolute burner to their arsenal to give Daniel Jones more weapons and to replace Kadarius Toney
Dallas Cowboys - Mazi Smith DT Michigan
Dallas gave up almost 2200 yards rushing last year and with Robinson gone they'll have to focus on their rush defense
Buffalo Bills - Nolan Smith DE/LB Georgia
Buffalo has the luxury of getting creative here, with that said, Buffalo grabs a player that can use to attack offenses in variety of ways
Cincinnati Bengals - Kelee Ringo CB Georgia
To put it plainly, Cincinnati's group of corners needs help immediately if they want to remain a super bowl contender
New Orleans Saints (via SF) - Deonta Banks CB Maryland
NOLA nabs a super athletic DB to bolster their already tough secondary
Philadelphia Eagles - Brian Bresee DT Clemson
Philly hits homerun with Bresee falling to them, with their d-line depth it should allow Bresee to be a game wrecker with his raw talent
Kansas City Chiefs - Adetomiwa Adebawore DE Northwestern
With Frank Clark on his way out, the Chiefs find his replacement in a mean, physical pass rusher
