Reader NFL Mock Drafts

First round (1-32) with write-ups. Post-main free agency period.

Now that the early wave of free agency has come and gone, and some big trades have been made, I'll put out a mock draft. 7 trades. Agree or disagree at your own peril! This will likely be my last mock until just before the draft in a month.

The free agent store has been raided. All that remain are dented and nearly-expired canned goods like Joel Bitonio and Kevin Zeitler. Time for my first mock draft of the season. Two rounds.

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. Yeah, right.

Some minor tweaks to our Mock 2.0 after a wild start to NFL Free Agency.

Came across an interesting tidbit of info: since 2018, there have been 18 instances of teams with a Top 15 pick that hired a new head coach who had been an OC or DC in the previous year. In 16 of those 18 instances (89%), the team drafted a player from the new coach's side of the ball. This could come into play this year with Arizona at 3 (LaFleur/OC), Tennessee at 4 (Saleh/DC), Cleveland at 6 (Monken/OC), Miami at 11 (Hafley/DC), and Baltimore at 14 (Minter/DC). Because of this, I changed some of my selections and I now have 4 of these 5 teams taking players from the new coach's side of the ball. Two full rounds here.

It's been a bit since our Mock 1.0. I decided to wait for the combine to produce one massive updated Mock. Hope you all enjoy!

The Browns traded for Texans RT/RG Tytus Howard and immediately signed him to a 3 year, 63 million dollar extension, so that'll shake things up a bit. I'll only make comments on things that changed a bit from the last mock draft that I published before the trade happened.

I am just going to unveil a new mock during Combine week, which will constantly be changing as new information becomes available and as I gather more intel from sharp mockers/reporters. Stock up: Caleb Banks, Sonny Styles, Kenyon Sadiq, Dillon Thienemen, Chris Johnson, Daylen Everette, Gracen Halton, Omar Cooper, Monroe Freeling. Stock down: Cashius Howell, Peter Woods, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Kayden McDonald, R Mason Thomas, Carnell Tate. I also have some trades projected because, hey, why not? Let the record show that I predicted the Rams trading #29 for McDuffie the night before it happened, folks! Next up: Crosby to the Bears.
