In collaboration with @Nmimi, here is our first (of many) installments of the way too early NFL mock draft. Reach out to us with feedback!!!
1.Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson
Might be the most talked about pick that turns out to be a no-brainer
2. Zach Wilson, QB, BYU
Robert Saleh gets a franchise QB and Sam Darnold moves on
3. J'Marr Chase, WR, LSU
The best weapon in the draft joins Tua in South Beach
4. Justin Fields, QB, Ohio St
Local kid stays home and gets a year to learn behind Matt Ryan
5. Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon
Huge smile on Joe Burrow's face as protection is on it's way
6. DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama
Philly fans are desperate for a bone-a-fide WR1
7. Micah Parsons, LB, Penn St
Lions prefer a WR but with top 2 gone, settle for the best defender on the board
8. Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota St
Bridgewater experiment failed, weapons are in place for this offense to take a step
9. Greg Rosseau, DE, Miami
Controversy may push Von Miller out of town, Rosseau is the best pass rusher in the draft
10. Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama
Defense needs a lot of help, as does the offensive line
11. Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern
Jones sacked 83 times already and Saquon injury shows OL is a need
12. Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina
With Sherman and Verrett free agents, they'll need a retool with the top QBs off the board
13. Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas
Third tackle off the board. Great tape will help with no combine
14. Kwity Paye, EDGE, Michigan
Defense needs all the help it can get
15. Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama
Belicheck finally drafts the right receiver
16. Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida
Will be greatest TE in franchise history
17. Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech
One of the worst seconderies in the league gets some serious help
18. Alex Leatherwood, OT, Alabama
RB will be considered, but Miami uses a 1st round pick on T for 2nd year in a row
19. Mac Jones, QB, Alabama
No combine/limited college tape helps Heisman finalist stay in 1st round
20. Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech
With the QB market dried up, the Bears look to fortify underperforming line
21. Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota
T. Y. Hilton leaves, Bateman replaces him, and then some
22. Christian Barmore, DL, Alabama
Titans have no pass rush, yet another Alabama pedigree fits perfectly
23.Wyatt Davis, G, Ohio State
Jets choose a run blocker over running back
24. Najee Harris, RB, Alabama
Conner never worked out, leaves as free agent
25. Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State
Finishes off scary good young offensive core
26. Terrace Marshall, Jr, WR, LSU
Cinderella will fix the defensive issues through free agency and add another potent weapon
27. Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma
Cisco,This pick is more obvious than Lawrence at the top
28. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame
Another need-based pick, provided no QBs slide
29. Alijah Vera-Tucker, G, USC
Help to keep the GOAT upright for one more year
30.Andre Cisco, S, Syracuse
Linebacker also a need, but let's get one safety goes in round 1
31. Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue
I had to do it once for Rodgers
32. Shaun Wade, CB, Ohio St
No pedigree in secondary and a lot of air yards in the division
