Mel Kiper's Worst Nightmare 1.0
This is my feeble attempt at this year’s mock draft. Some trades that I think are possible mixed in and comments on first 15 picks. So here goes...Enjoy!
Round 1
Picks 1-16
Picks 17-32
The Bears try again with a new franchise quarterback. Williams has all the tools to be just that.
I personally feel that Daniels will have the best career of all quarterbacks in this draft, IF he can stay healthy and have a quality coaching staff. He’s electric and his passes seem effortless but accurate. Probably should add a few pounds to his frame but will cause defenses headaches!
I know some may feel like this is a reach, but McCarthy is the most “pro-ready” qb in my opinion and should progress rather quickly. He has all the tools and intangibles you like to see and against top college competition.
Arizona just gets a gift dropped to them. A blue-chip, generational talent that can change their franchise. MH2 is the surest prospect in this draft playing the position Arizona needs help the most.
TRADE: Vikings both Rd1 picks to Chargers)
IF Maye drops this far, some team is going to leapfrog up. The Vikings have 2 round 1 picks and use them to draft Maye. He’s not a sure-fire franchise QB in my honest opinion, but has a very high ceiling with the right coaching staff.

Nabers is an athletic freak! He may end up having the best career of any WR in this draft. He has good hands with amazing acceleration once he has the ball. He is a game-changer with the ball in his hands.
Alt has everything you want from an OT. He is a behemoth of a man and comes with a great pedigree from an elite college football program. He will plug in as the franchise OT on day 1 on the job.
Trading back in this scenario, the Chargers are ecstatic to see Bowers on the board and land a unique talent that can literally play any offensive skill position outside of QB. He should be a huge help in Herberts development.
Much like Alt, Fashanu is a freakishly large human from a high-pedigree college. He is a franchise OT that would go top-5 in most drafts.
Turner is the best defensive player in this draft in my opinion. He’s just a tier above everyone else and will help complete a young, talented defense.
The Bears are loving life in this scenario. They get their franchise QB and a WR1 all in the first day of the draft. Odunze is a complete WR with very polished route running that will bode well in transitioning to the NFL.

Trade: Broncos & Colts
Mitchell is a very talented CB and the best in this draft in my opinion. He has great instincts and the ability to adjust and capitalize on any mistakes by opposing offenses. He should be as close to a true lockdown CB this draft has to offer.

Nix is a bit of a reach here, but not by much in my opinion. The need is there for Denver and Nix has all the potential to be a solid NFL quarterback.
Mims may be a bit of a project, but the talent is all there! I also think he is BPA in this scenario at a position of need for LV.
