Predictive Mock
Fully predictive mock. I'm trying to guess exactly what will happen on draft day.

Ya basic
Very confident it will be Reese.
Might not be fun or flashy, but Cardinals needs O-line badly, and if they can't find a trade partner (nobody's coming up to three), they'll bite the bullet. Freeling over Mauigoa for upside.
They take Bain 100% if he falls.
Quite unpopular pick for some reason. Everyone acting like Skat can't be part of the best 1-2 punch in the league. Could see Downs, highly doubt it's Styles, and something tells me they won't go O-line. BPA all the way.
TRADE!! Browns trade back again, Cowboys go all in to compete and work to keep another first too. They need pass rush and they swing for hometown upside.
Really tough spot to be in. They probably should take receiver, but I kind of think they'd rather go BPA on defense because man, Dan Quinn needs to get things right. Unsure if he drops to to injury concerns though. Something to monitor.
The obvious pick if he's available.
This pick will surprise some, but the Chiefs quietly need another weapon, and with Kelce out the door, they'll be looking to continue their historic tight end lineage.
Feels obvious. Linebacker was SUCH a problem this season, and Styles has the RAS the Bengals love.
Really tough pick to make. They need everything and have a first-time GM, they could go a thousand different directions. Out of all of their needs though, receiver is the biggest. Hafley made it work with CB situation in GB too, so I'm out on this being corner.
Traded back and still got Mauigoa. What a perfect board for the Browns.
TRADE!! Bucs are at a tipping point between getting their shit together and competing and totally nuking things and rebuilding. Mesidor is very good now. They will get aggressive.
Feels like a weird pick but I can see the Ravens making it. Fano projects as a guard but he has the added upside of being your swing tackle for when Stanley misses games.
Everyone and their mother says receiver for some reason. They don't really need anything right now though, hence the trade back. Cashius Howell provides potential pass rush help this year, and can replace Byron Young next year. Him next to Verse is awesome.
Defensive rebuild, BPA that's not Corner. Could be Thienemann but interior is a real need and they get their pick of the litter.
