It's seven-round mock draft season, people. All 259 picks perfectly predicted. Essentially after reading this mock, you'll have no use to even watch the draft next weekend because you'll have already seen all the selections.
In all seriousness, I attempted to make this mock as "realistic" as possible with a litany of trades, highlighted by a monster at the end of the first round.
Ok, let's get to the picks!
For more draft content, check out our latest prospect rankings and mock drafts, as well as our new weekly podcast, "With the First Pick," featuring former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman. (Check out the latest episode below.)
From
Chicago Bears
Round 1 - Pick 1
Reportedly it's down to Young or Stroud for the Panthers, and I can see Frank Reich being enamored with Young's poise and flair for creativity.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 2
The Texans don't overcomplicate things, and simply pick Stroud here, instead of taking a defensive player then trying to trade back into the top 10 for a top passer.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Arizona Cardinals
Round 1 - Pick 3
In this mock trade, the Cardinals move this pick to the Texans for No. 12, No. 65 and one of Houston's two 2024 first-round picks (the one from Cleveland).
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 4
The Colts jump at this opportunity, and Richardson could hit the ground running -- literally and figuratively -- with head coach Shane Steichen.
| |||
From
Denver Broncos
Round 1 - Pick 5
Wilson is the long, highly athletic pass rusher the Seahawks have traditionally leaned toward in the draft.
| |||
From
Los Angeles Rams
Round 1 - Pick 6
Gonzalez is a lengthy, sudden, fast outside corner who'll add more talent to an upstart Lions secondary.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Johnson is too long with too clean of film for the Raiders -- with Jimmy Garoppolo under center -- to pass on him here.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 8
There's been a "Robinson's going in the top 10" narrative for a while now, so that's where he lands in this mock -- to a team in the Falcons that adores running the football.
| |||
From
Carolina Panthers
Round 1 - Pick 9
The Bears bet on Murphy's upside and measurables at a premium position of need.
| |||
From
New Orleans Saints
Round 1 - Pick 10
The Eagles add to their Georgia North defense that would feature Carter, Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean in the front seven for the foreseeable future.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 11
The Titans stay patient and land Levis, who'll be entering into quite the fascinating quarterback competition with Malik Willis in the summer. Oh yeah, Ryan Tannehill's still on the roster, too. For now.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Houston Texans
Round 1 - Pick 12
Van Ness is a young, ascending rusher with plus traits. He's precisely the type of prospect the rebuilding Cardinals should pick here.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 13
The Jets add another athletic blocker up front to protect Aaron Rodgers.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 14
Witherspoon is the feisty, in-your-face cornerback Bill Belichick adores.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 15
The Packers go receiver in Round 1 to formulate a fun and young pass-catching trio with Smith-Njigba, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 16
This is a long, press-man specialist who'll instantly boost the intimidation factor in the secondary.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 17
If there's a team to pick Addison in the first round, shouldn't it be the Steelers, to pair Addison with Kenny Pickett? Absolutely.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 18
The Lions love what they have up front on defense. It's more secondary reinforcement with Branch. Together, he and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson would be a stellar, versatile combination.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 1 - Pick 19
The Jaguars want to get better out wide at the cornerback spot. So they make an aggressive move to land the sticky and athletic Banks.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 20
There is no telling what John Schneider and Pete Carroll have up their sleeve in the draft. This pick seems redundant after Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas a year ago. But Skoronski at the very least, projects as a high-level, athletic guard immediately.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 21
Another assertive, athletic, ball hawk for the Chargers' defensive backfield.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 22
Baltimore gives Lamar Jackson another explosive weapon on the outside with Johnston.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 23
Bresee has top 10-pick talent if he can stay healthy, and he's equally comfortable in any of the five positions along the defensive line.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Round 1 - Pick 24
The Bengals again go defensive back early in the draft with the playmaking specialist from Mississippi State. The Buccaneers should be very keen on moving back in the draft to rebuild the roster in the post Tom Brady era.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 25
Flowers is a well-rounded wideout who will be an early favorite target for Daniel Jones.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 26
Hyatt will stretch defenses vertically instantly in the NFL, which can be his calling card until he learns the finer details of playing the position.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Buffalo Bills
Round 1 - Pick 27
The Bills like the depth at tight end enough to feel good about selecting one later, allowing the Saints to ascend to pick Kincaid here.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Cincinnati Bengals
Round 1 - Pick 28
After a pair of trade backs, the Buccaneers snag Mayer to be their complete TE1 for the next decade. In the moves, Tampa Bay received No. 92 from Cincinnati and a 2024 second-round pick from Jacksonville.
| |||
Mock Trade from
New Orleans Saints
Round 1 - Pick 29
The Bills moved No. 27 and No. 130 in the trade back and received this pick and No. 71 from the Saints. With Campbell they get an instant replacement for Tremaine Edmunds.
| |||
Mock Trade from
Philadelphia Eagles
Round 1 - Pick 30
The Chargers see an opening, and make a seismic move for the high-floor, high-upside right tackle from Tennessee. In the move, they send No. 54 and -- wait for it -- Austin Ekeler to Philadelphia. HELLO!
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 31
The Chiefs have proven they don't need first-round receivers to be the most dangerous offense in the NFL. But they do need an answer at right tackle, with Jawaan Taylor likely flipping to the left tackle spot. Harrison can be that guy.
