My NFL Round 1 Mock Draft
Quote from Namtih21 >> Nice mock, appreciate the work here.
I really don't see Tua passing by the Dolphins. Despite the trade for Rosen, if they figured him into their future they would've played him more.
I also think Indy keeps Jacoby. Reich loves him, they paid him, and Indy was competitive for the first half of the season competing for the division.
Interesting choice on the Saints. They're probably more likely to go WR, as they need someone desperately opposite Michael Thomas. They signed Nick Easton as a guard/center to a decent sized FA contract to replace Peat, who is a free agent this year.
Also with Fromm entering the draft, does he go higher than Hebert? Or even first round?
Dolphins will not pass on a QB at 5 because of Rosen. That was a shot in the dark and hes shown nothing to make us think hes the answer. Tua at 5, one of the second tier QBs at 18 or they think they have the draft capital to trade up to the top 3 next year.
I doubt they use such a high pick on a RB. and it seems way to high for swift.
Other than that grabbing 2 top Olineman would be great

Quote from aarons444 >> Jacob Eason will be a 1st rounder. I think he's going top 10, personally, regardless of his inconsistency.
Teams will fall all over themselves once the see that arm.
I don't think he'll go top 10, most likely will be a first rounder though. I'm not very high on him but I think he's solid. He's perfect size but I'm starting to see a lot of these tall strong-armed QBs not doing well in the league like they should have. I believe "prototypical size" shouldn't matter much anymore. I also think Herbert is a little better at the moment as well.

Would love for him to someone slip to us in the second. Pipe dream, but I'm high on him too
Stone cold lock he's a 1st, IMO.
There is no way teams won't fall in love with that arm.
Same story as Josh Allen.. except Eason was a blue chip/5-star recruit.
.. Herbert V Eason is going to be fascinating.
Obviously, Herbert is the more finished product. But Eason is the superior talent. Kinda like Manning-Leaf on a lesser scale.
Hopefully both are hits. This League is gonna run out of QBs in a hurry (Brady, Brees, Ben, Rivers.... Rodgers...)

I love Eason, the problem unfortunately is he’s in the wrong QB class. As of now he’s 4th for me but if he comes out and has a terrific combine he might be a first rounder. Top 10 will be very hard unless there’s a team like you said that just loves him more than Tua or Herbert

I'm hearing Denver really likes Ruggs at 15. But I'd rather us go corner in the first and maybe see what we can do in the second in terms of WR. This class is stacked with them.
I would not be surprised if Wills is the first tackle taking he has a high ceiling and would be ranked higher in most Boards if he was a Left tackle
he plays Right Tackle because Tua is a Lefty and he protects Tua’s blindside
he will have to do good with footwork and agility drills (I think he will ) to pass Thomas and Wirfs
Totally agree Simmons could help the Giants out, just not sure he's the value pick at 4. If they trade down I think he should be considered, but I'm hoping either Thomas, Wirfs or Wills establish themselves at a top tackle prospect that will protect Jones for the next 10 years.
Quote from Markelle_Fultz20 >> Quote from taterman >> I'm supremely hoping Laviska Shenault drops to GB, but otherwise, Ruggs is good, or selecting a premier LB talent would be great.
Nice draft.
Same man. He's the actual good version of TY Montgomery. They could even use him at RB a little. This team really needs a athletic freak linebacker who can be good in pass coverage though. Packers get sliced in the middle of the field.

I'd also like another corner. Maybe one in round 3. First two rounds Green Bay takes a WR and ILB or MLB.
I think the Skins should trade down if a team offers up a ton. They have a bunch of missing parts that need filling.

Nice thoughtful post it’s early to do a mock draft and get it right
I do think 1,2 and 5 are safe bets Burrow Young and Tua
Quote from aarons444 >> Nice job.
Hoping the Packers address the WR position in FA.
Hoping for a big ugly in rd 1, personally.
Yep. Lot of good free agents this year so things will get switched around eventually
Nice job.

Every year I do 4 Mock Drafts to give my thoughts on what teams should do. I do Round 1 at the end of the wild card round to give most college juniors a chance to declare (like Tua) and after that, it bumps up to 3 rounds. Let me know if you like the pick I gave your team(s), I'm ok with criticisms or else I wouldn't do them and if you guys would like to see the rest of the updates when I have them. Next update wouldn't be until after the Super Bowl
Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU: The question isn’t if the Bengals will take Burrow with the first overall pick. It's when will he replace Andy Dalton? Dalton still has one year left on his deal, so it's possible Cincy starts him until they feel Burrow is ready. Washington Redskins: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State: With Washington possibly switching to a 4-3 defense, it makes even more sense to pair Young with more star pass rushers in Jonathan Allen, Da’Ron Payne, and Montez Sweat. Young could help the Redskins become an elite defense.
