Free agency has come and gone, aside from a trickle of players still to be signed to low-level deals.
That means it's draft time for all 32 NFL teams. It also means it's easier to do a mock draft for those of us who do them.
Many holes have been filled by teams, which changes the way they will draft, which is why my latest mock – mock 4.0 – is one I feel much better about. There is no more guessing about free agency.
It's all about the draft now.
The top two picks are easy in my mind, with Joe Burrow going first to the Cincinnati Bengals and Chase Young going second to the Washington Redskins. After that, it gets interesting.
Mock 4.0 is yours to rip apart.
NFL Mock Draft
Round 1
Round 1 - Pick 1
This won't change at all through the process. It's a lock.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 2
They could consider a trade down, but I just don't think they will. Young is that good.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 3
They could go for corner Jeff Okudah here in this spot, but I think they need a power player up front to go with Danny Shelton. Brown will be a star.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 4
They have to get better up front and Thomas might be the safest of all the tackles in this draft. Personnel people like him a lot more than the draftniks do.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 5
I am still not convinced he is all the way back in terms of health, which has to be concerning. But I will put him in this spot for now.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 6
They have to get their quarterback of the future and Herbert is a guy they are rumored to like. He would take over for Tyrod Taylor at some point.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 7
He would fill an immediate need for a defense that is lacking in corners. He would team with Donte Jackson for a young duo.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 8
They have a glaring hole at right tackle and Wills played there for the Crimson Tide. He would be a plug-and-play guy.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 9
He is a bit raw, but he is a big man with a ton of athletic ability and they need help at left tackle.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 10
They could consider a tackle here, but getting a playmaker like Simmons is too good to pass up.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 11
They have a major issue at receiver and Ruggs can fly. They need to get a young player to groom with Sam Darnold.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 12
They added Eli Apple in free agency, but is he really the long-term answer? Henderson can flat out cover.
| |||
From
Indianapolis Colts
Round 1 - Pick 13
They have to get help for outside with Emmanuel Sanders signing with the Saints. Lamb will be an immediate help for Jimmy Garoppolo.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 14
They need a right tackle in the worst way, so they would be thrilled to see him fall to them in this spot.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 15
They have to get help for Drew Lock in the passing game. Jeudy is the best receiver in this class, even if he doesn't run as well as Ruggs.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 16
You can never have enough power players. Teaming him inside with Grady Jarrett would be nasty.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 17
With Travis Frederick retiring this week, why not grab a replacement? This kid has a real chance to be special for a long time.
| |||
From
Pittsburgh Steelers
Round 1 - Pick 18
They have to get a left tackle and this is a player scouts like a lot more than what you might think.
| |||
From
Chicago Bears
Round 1 - Pick 19
After taking a corner with their first pick, they have to land a receiver to go with Tyrell Williams. Jefferson ran much faster than expected at the combine.
| |||
From
Los Angeles Rams
Round 1 - Pick 20
They have Gardner Minshew, but do they know if he's the long-term answer? Why not take a flier on Love?
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 21
They have to get help for their passing game. Mims impressed at the combine, and he would give Carson Wentz some much-needed help.
| |||
From
Buffalo Bills
Round 1 - Pick 22
The Vikings lost Stephen Weatherly in free agency and will also be losing Everson Griffen when he signs with another team. They have to get edge-rush help, which is why Chaisson makes sense.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 23
He was a productive player who didn't test well at the combine, but he's a force who can play outside and inside. We know the Patriots love versatility.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 24
They need a run player in the middle of their defense and Murray is that and more. He would add a lot of speed to the defense.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 25
They lost two corners in free agency, so this would make sense. We know how Mike Zimmer likes to pick corners.
| |||
From
Houston Texans
Round 1 - Pick 26
They have an emerging player in DeVante Parker, but the new quarterback will need even more help. Higgins is a tall receiver who can go up and get the football.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 27
They need more edge help and this is a team who has won titles based on their edge pressure. Gross-Matos fits what they need.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 28
The inside of their defense was made up of guys they picked up, which is never a good thing. Queen could step in and be a nice run-and- chase player behind that big front.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 31
The other Buckeyes corner is a player scouts love. He isn't in the same class as Okudah, but he's a quality cover player.
| |||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Their corner situation isn't good, so why not take a solid cover player from a big-time program? This kid can fly.
