After the main wave of free agency and trades, here is our latest mock draft.
1. Bengals- Joe Burrow QB LSU
Unless there is a trade, expect Burrow to the Bengals.
2. Redskins- Tua Tagovaiola QB Alabama
Ron Rivera decides that Haskins isn't the guy, and that he wants to build around Tua as his new franchise QB.
3. Lions- Chase Young DE Ohio State
The best non-QB in the draft, Young will be a playmaker off the edge from day one.
4. Giants- Tristan Wirfs OL Iowa
Might be the safest offensive pick in the draft. Coming from the o-line factory that Iowa is, he is ready to be a day one NFL starter.
5. Dolphins- Isiah Simmons LB Clemson
An athletic do it all player, Simmons would be a welcomed addition to a growing Dolphins team. Teaming up with new addition Kyle Van Noy, Simmons and him would form an elite duo.
6. Chargers- Jordan Love QB Utah State
Tyrod Taylor isn't the long term answer in LA. Love would be a great pick to sit behind Taylor for the year, develop, and step in at the beginning of the 2021 season in a Patrick Mahomes/Alex Smith type scenario.
7. Panthers- Jeff Okudah CB Ohio State
After losing Bradberry in free agency, Okudah is more than an adequate replacement.
8. Cardinals- Jedrick Wills Jr. OL Alabama
After trading for DeAndre Hopkins, adding protection for Kyler Murray is now Arizona's priority.
9. Jaguars- Derrick Brown DL Auburn
Adding an elite talent in the trenches like Brown is a wise move for a rebuilding team.
10. Browns- Mekhi Becton OL Louisville
With all the offensive firepower in the world, free agent tackle Jack Conklin, and the massive force that is Mekhi Becton, Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense will be set up for more success than last season.
11. Jets- Jerry Jeudy WR Alabama
After focusing on the o-line in free agency, the Jets address the wide receiver position with the best one in the draft with Jerry Jeudy.
12. Raiders- Cee Dee Lamb WR Oklahoma
After Jeudy gets picked with the previous selection, the Raiders opt for Lamb who is a dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands.
13. 49ers- Henry Ruggs III WR Alabama
A speed receiver who can take the top off the defense, and make plays in Kyle Shannahan's screen game will help elevate Jimmy G to the next level.
14. Bucs- D'Andre Swift RB Georgia
With the addition of QB forty-two year old Tom Brady, the Bucs are in win now mode. Adding a top flight three down RB like Swift would help push the Bucs offense to even another level.
15. Broncos- Trevon Diggs CB Alabama
Vic Fangio loves defense, and after losing some CB's this offseason, the Broncos add a top level player at the defensive back spot.
16. Falcons- A.J. Epensa DE Iowa
Rushing the QB is where teams win on defense in today's NFL. Epensa will be a consistent pass rushing threat for the Falcons from day one.
17. Cowboys- C.J. Henderson CB Florida
After losing Byron Jones to the Dolphins, Henderson will try and fill that role.
18. Dolphins- Justin Herbert QB Oregon
The Dolphins invest in Herbert as their QB of the future.
19. Raiders- Yetur Gross-Matos DE Penn State
A trio of Gross-Matos, Maxx Crosby, and Clelin Ferrell would give the Raiders three young promising pass rushers to build their defense around.
20. Jaguars- Javon Kinlaw DL South Carolina
Adding Kinlaw after selecting Brown earlier would help advance the rebuild of the Jacksonville defense.
21. Eagles- K'Lavon Chaisson DE LSU
Many people expect the Eagles to invest in the wide receiver position here. Traditionally, the Eagles invest in the trenches with their early picks and I expect them to add a speed rusher to bolster that unit even more.
22. Vikings- Justin Jefferson WR LSU
After the Diggs trade to Buffalo, the Vikings will be in the market for a new receiver.
23. Patriots- Grant Delpit S LSU
After the departure of Duron Harmon, the Patriots turn to Delpit to pair with McCourty in that already strong New England secondary.
24. Saints- Jacob Eason QB Washington
The eventual replacement for Drew Brees will get at least a year to learn behind one of the all-time greats.
25. Vikings- Bryce Hall CB Virginia
After losing Trae Waynes and Xavier Rhodes this offseason, Minnesota is in the market for a defensive back.
26. Dolphins- Laviska Shenault Jr. WR Colorado
After drafting Justin Herbert, the addition of the playmaking Shenault will give Miami a young duo to build around on offense.
27. Seahawks- Terrell Lewis DE Alabama
Seattle needs help when it comes to rushing the QB. The explosive Lewis will do just that.
28. Ravens- Kenneth Murray LB Oklahoma
Adding a three down LB in Murray will help elevate the already elite defensive unit in Baltimore. Murray can fill the void the Ravens had at LB last season after C.J. Mosely went to the Jets in free agency.
29. Titans- Brandon Aiyuk WR Arizona State
After paying Ryan Tannehill the big bucks, the Titans are going to want to add another high level receiver to ensure he plays as well as that contract paid him.
30. Packers- Tee Higgins WR Clemson
A WR duo of Tee Higgins and Davante Adams with Aaron Rodgers would cause teams fits, especially in the red zone.
31. 49ers- Ross Blacklock DL TCU
Look for the 49ers to trade out of this spot, but if they keep the pick expect them to take a lineman to help fill the hole left after the Deforest Buckner trade. Blacklock is a force inside who will help free up Arik Armstead, Solomon Thomas and Nick Bosa to get after the QB.
32. Chiefs- Jonathan Taylor RB Wisconsin
The Chiefs form an almost unstoppable offense after selecting the best pure runner between the tackles in the draft.
