Every year since before I can remember, I do my own Mock Draft. I only do one, and it’s done within a day or two prior to Draft Day.
Not only do I try to tackle the first round, but I predict the entire draft, all 257 picks.
Who goes after No. 1? How many offensive tackles and edge rushers land in Round 1? Who will be Mr. Irrelevant?
Without projecting trades and, instead, trying to match some players to teams, I attempt to answer those questions and more. However, this year, I made one trade to sneak a QB into Round 1.
