First mock draft of the offseason.
1. Bengals- Joe Burrow QB LSU
After a historic season, Burrow solidified himself as the pick for the Bengals to lead their franchise.
2. Redskins- Chase Young DE OSU
A high level pass rushing prospect, Young will cause havoc in the NFC East from day one.
3. Lions- Jeff Okudah CB OSU
A lockdown corner is going to be needed in Detroit, especially if Darius Slay gets shipped out this spring.
4. Giants- Andrew Thomas OT Georgia
Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley will be fans of this pick.
5. Dolphins- Tua Tagovaiola QB Alabama
The Dolphins get in my opinion, the best QB in the draft.
6. Chargers- Justin Herbert QB Oregon
The replacement for Philip Rivers in LA.
7. Panthers- Jordan Love QB Utah State
The Newton era closes, and the Love/Rhule era begins.
8. Cardinals- CeeDee Lamb WR Oklahoma
Murray and Lamb reuninted. Get ready for fireworks.
9. Jaguars- Isaiah Simmons LB/S Clemson
The Jags just need to add more versatile talent to their roster. Simmons is an athletic freak who can play all over the field like Tyrann Mathieu does.
10. Browns- Tristan Wirfs OT Iowa
Baker Mayfield needs more protection up front if he wants to take advantage of all his weapons.
11. Jets- Jerry Jeudy WR Alabama
Sam Darnold gets his WR1.
12. Raiders- Tee Higgins WR Clemson
Whoever is playing QB in Vegas for the Raiders needs better weapons on the perimeter. Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock love guys from successful college programs like Clemson.
13. Colts- Derrick Brown DL Clemson
Probably the second best defensive player in this draft class, Brown can be a game wrecker for the Colts.
14. Bucs- Jacob Eason QB Washington
Adding a QB with the arm talent of Winston, but a better decision maker will make the Bucs a playoff contender.
15. Broncos- Trevon Diggs CB Alabama
Vic Fangio loves defense and adding a solid corner from Bama will help his group take a step up.
16. Falcons- K'Lavon Chassion EDGE LSU
With Vic Beasley set to hit free agency, the Falcons modest defense is going to be in the market for pass rush help.
17. Cowboys- Kristian Fullton CB LSU
The Cowboys are likely going to lose Byron Jones this offseason, and will need to improve the backend of their defense.
18. Dolphins- D'Andre Swift RB Georgia
Arguably the best offensive player in the draft, Swift is a perfect three down back that is going to be a star in the league.
19. Raiders- Kenneth Murray LB Oklahoma
The Raiders have a young and upcoming defense, and adding a special player at the middle level like Murray would elevate that group.
20. Jaguars- Cole Kmet TE Notre Dame
The Jaguars need a dangerous weapon up the seams that can help the blocking game for Fournette too.
21. Eagles- Henry Ruggs III WR Alabama
Adding more speed on offense will be the Eagles main priority this offseason.
22. Bills- K.J. Hamler WR Penn State
This may be a bit of a reach, but Hamler is built in the same mold as Tyreek Hill and could fly up draft boards after the combine.
23. Patriots- Javon Kinlaw DL South Carolina
If Kinlaw falls this low, the Patriots strong scouting staff is sure to snatch up this athletic freak to enhance their already elite defensive unit.
24. Saints- Laviska Shenault Jr. WR Colorado
Pairing Shenault with Michael Thomas would be a star studded duo for whoever is under center in New Orleans this fall.
25. Vikings- Yetur Gross-Matos EDGE Penn State
Rushing the passer is the name of the game in today's NFL.
26. Dolphins- Austin Jackson OL USC
After drafting a lethal QB/RB duo with their first two picks, the Dolphins need some beef up front and add Jackson to do that.
27. Seahawks- Terrell Lewis EDGE Alabama
Clowney is due to be a free agent, and if the Seahawks lose him addressing the pass rusher spot on their defense will be a priority.
28. Ravens- Justin Jefferson WR LSU
Jefferson, a tall physical receiver, would be a great complement to the speedy Hollywood Brown for Lamar Jackson going forward.
29. Titans- C.J. Henderson CB Florida
In order to stop the dynamic QB's in the AFC like Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, teams are going to focus on ramping up their pass defense.
30. Packers- Patrick Queen LB LSU
The Packers had a very impressive defensive season last year. Adding a do it all LB like Queen will elevate their unit even more.
31. 49ers- Brandon Aiyuk WR Arizona State
With Emmanuel Sanders headed to free agency, the 49ers will look to add another dynamic receiver to pair with Deebo Samuel.
32. Chiefs- Bryce Hall CB Virginia
The Super Bowl champs are loaded on offense, and should focus on adding to their defense in the draft. In a passing league, having as many talented secondary players as possible is important.
