Can a Buddhist even play football given the violence? I need to look into this...
A few thoughts on your mock:
You need to shoehorn Anthony Richardson into the top 20, perhaps higher. The guy is unproven, but he's also a tool shed. Some QB-desperate team will bite early.
I agree that the Pats could be looking to trade up, but not for a WR. (Also agree that Quentin Johnston is a stud worthy of trading up for, but trading a 2nd rounder for a proven X-WR like DeAndre Hopkins or Mike Evans seems more NE's style.) I think the Pats could trade up into the 8 to 10 range to ensure getting one of Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones or Skoronski. Trent Brown looks cooked and could be a cap casualty, so unless the Pats sign a FA like Orlando Brown, they could have zero viable OTs on a team with an immobile QB come draft day. Could be a desperate situation.
I like that you touched on the possibility that GB and TB may just want to blow it up this offseason. Not enough mock drafts take into account how close both teams might be to a rebuild. Not sure about the TB/Van Ness pick, though. Similar skill set to Logan Hall. Seems redundant.
Not sure about BAL/Mazi Smith. The BAL run defense is solid. Mazi is a pure NT and the Ravens just invested a 2nd Day pick on NT Travis Jones. BAL will probably do what they always do; let teams above them overthink things and wait for a prospect like Skoronski, Bijan Robinson or Devon Witherspoon to fall into their lap.
I like this mock overall. Well thought out and entertaining. Looking forward to your updates.
I like that you're not afraid of naming names and doling out some harsh criticism in your mock, but the anti-religious knock on Derek Carr kinda comes out of left field and seems motivated by personal issues with religion you might have. I wouldn't say certified Jesus Freaks like Reggie White, Ray Lewis and Kurt Warner weren't "mentally strong". I mean, half the post game interviews with NFL players begin with, "I'd like to start by thanking God"; I doubt non-believing teammates are losing much sleep over it.
