It is never too early for Mock 1.0 now that the NFL draft order has been set. High drama at the top as Bears GM Ryan Poles, who lost out on the Giants job to Joe Schoen, debates between staying with QB Justin Fields or grabbing one of the supposed can’t miss prospects — USC’s Caleb Williams or North Carolina’s Drake Maye.
No trades in this one. Picks 1 18 for the non playoff teams: QB Caleb Williams, USC Poles shoots for the star and resets the financial quarterback clock while pocketing a second round pick for Fields. QB Drake Maye, North Carolina The next coach inherits the 6 foot 4, 230 pound prototype with franchise quarterback traits.
QB Jayden Daniels, LSU The next coach inherits a rising 6 4, 210 pound Heisman winner who will be a major dual threat problem. WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State A 6 4, 205 pounder who might remind you of A.J. Green with Hall of Fame potential out of Wide Receiver U. TE Brock Bowers, Georgia A 6 5, 240 pound matchup weapon for Justin Herbert to replace unrestricted free agent Gerald Everett.
OT Olumuyiwa Fashanu, Penn State High character team captain with prototypical size (6 6, 320) and athleticism can bookend LT Andrew Thomas, and allow the Giants to move Evan Neal inside. OT Joe Alt, Notre Dame A 6 8, 320 pound high school tight end with bloodlines (his father John Alt was a All Pro tackle with the Chiefs) and only three penalties in two years.
A 6 5, 265 pounder with pass rush prowess who will need to clear medical checks (neck). WR Rome Odunze, Washington A big bodied (6 3, 215) target and former track star with 4.37 speed to pair with D.J. Moore for the new franchise QB. WR Malik Nabers, LSU A dynamic 6 foot, 200 pound game breaker Aaron Rodgers will love opposite Garrett Wilson.
EDGE Dallas Turner Alabama Re sign Kirk Cousins and add a smooth moving pass rusher who needs to bulk up from 6 4, 252 in the event that Danielle Hunter bolts. CB Nate Wiggins, Clemson A lean 6 2, 185 pound man to man corner who has drawn comparisons to Darius Slay to bookend Patrick Surtain. QB Michael Penix Jr., Washington Charismatic 23 year old leader with a precise, powerful left arm and injury history that won’t scare off owner Mark Davis if Jimmy GQ’s didn’t.
WR Keon Coleman Florida State A 6 4, 215 pound X receiver who should be a red zone menace to replace Michael Thomas. CB Kool Aid McKinstry, Alabama Versatile 6 1, 195 pound high IQ CB1 with length and awareness to protect against slot corner Kenny Moore leaving in free agency. OT Taliese Fuage, Oregon State A 6 6, 333 pound mauler who could replace RT Abe Lucas (knee woes) and help match up with 49ers.
EDGE Bralin Trice, Washington A 6 4, 274 pound enforcer rising up boards to supplement Josh Allen and Travon Walker. DT Jer’Zhan Newton, Illinois A 6 2, 295 pound disruptor with short arms who might have to replace UFA D.J. Reader..
