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
