Please note that this is just for fun and that we are not experts. If we get three picks right out of all of these, we would be totally OK with that. We’ll be working on a 2nd mock draft now that we’ve had time to digest our first attempt and learn from our decisions.
Group Mocks: Mock 1.0 Mock 2.0
Individual Mocks: Drake Jesse Kyle Dalton Cody Corey
1st Round Board (the anti QB mock)
Pick | Team | Position | Player | College | Comments |
1 | Bengals | QB1 | Joe Burrow | LSU | I don’t care Joe, you’re playing in Cincy |
2 | Redskins | EDGE1 | Chase Young | Ohio St. | The de facto #1 non QB player in the draft. Instant playmaker. |
3 | Lions | CB1 | Jeff Okudah | Ohio St. | Lions field trade offers but stand pat with the #1 CB. |
4 | Giants | OT1 | Tristan Wirfs | Iowa | Tackle helps both Saquon and Daniel Jones. |
5 | Dolphins | QB2 | Tua Tagovailoa | Alabama | Could maybe trade up for Tua, but Dolphins hold back and collect. |
6 | Chargers | OT2 | Mekhi Becton | Louisville | Chargers sit back and collect their new starting RT. |
7 | Panthers | DL1 | Derrick Brown | Jaguars | The first of many defensive players selected in this rebuild. |
8 | Cardinals | OT3 | Andrew Thomas | Georgia | Keeping Murray upright will be a high priority. |
9 | Jaguars | OT4 | Jedrick Wills | Alabama | The run on Tackles continues. |
10 | Browns | LB1 | Isaiah Simmons | Clemson | Schobert left, so the starting LB spot is a major need. |
11 | Jets | WR1 | CeeDee Lamb | Oklahoma | Missed on their OT targets, get Darnold his new WR1. |
12 | Raiders | WR2 | Henry Ruggs | Alabama | Raiders stay patient and land the fastest WR in the draft. |
13 | 49ers | DL2 | Javon Kinlaw | South Carolina | Replacement for Buckner, likely a trade down spot though. |
14 | Buccaneers | OT5 | Josh Jones | Houston | Competes for a starting Tackle job right away. |
15 | Broncos | WR2 | Justin Jefferson | LSU | Big slot WR for Drew Lock. |
16 | Falcons | CB2 | CJ Henderson | Florida | CB is a glaring weakspot on this defense. |
17 | Cowboys | EDGE2 | K’Lavon Chaisson | LSU | Starting pass rusher opposite DeMarcus Lawrence |
18 | Dolphins | OT6 | Austin Jackson | USC | Keeping Tua healthy will be a heavy focus the rest of the draft. |
19 | Raiders | CB3 | AJ Terrell | Clemson | Instantly becomes their CB1. |
20 | Jaguars | CB4 | Trevon Diggs | Alabama | Bouye and Ramsey are out, starting CBs are needed. |
21 | Eagles | LB2 | Patrick Queen | LSU | WR will be a popular pick, but Philly needs LBs. |
22 | Vikings | WR4 | Jerry Jeudy | Alabama | Jeudy slides to Minnesota and steps into the Diggs role. |
23 | Patriots | EDGE3 | AJ Epenesa | Iowa | Ignore QB, they add a pass rusher to their front seven. |
24 | Saints | LB3 | Kenneth Murray | Oklahoma | Saints badly need a quality LB to anchor this defense. |
25 | Vikings | CB5 | Kristian Fulton | LSU | Both of their starting CBs left in FA. |
26 | Dolphins | S1 | Xavier McKinney | Alabama | Starting safety from day 1. This secondary will be insane. |
27 | Seahawks | EDGE4 | Yetur Gross-Matos | Penn St. | Clowney still unsigned, Seahawks need pass rush. |
28 | Ravens | WR5 | Denzel Mims | Baylor | Lamar needs more weapons. |
29 | Titans | OT7 | Isaiah Wilson | Georgia | Conklin left in FA, so Tackle may be a priority on this run first team. |
30 | Packers | WR6 | Laviska Shenault | Colorado | GB needs front 7 help but cannot pass up on the WR talent |
31 | 49ers | WR7 | Jalen Reagor | TCU | 49ers want a speed WR. |
32 | Chiefs | RB1 | Jonathan Taylor | Wisconsin | Fun fun fun. |
