I did a three round mock, to make sure each team got to make at least one pick. I’ll analyze team by team:

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Round 1, Pick #1: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama

Round 2, Pick #33: David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan

Round 3, Pick #65: Darian Kinnard, IOL, Kentucky

Round 3, Pick #70: Brian Asamoah, LB, Oklahoma

Conventional wisdom has the Jaguars taking Aidan Hutchinson with the first overall pick, provided they don’t trade it to a QB hungry team. I disagree. New HC, Doug Pedersen is an offensive guy, he was hired to make Trevor Lawrence the generational talent everyone expects him to be. Neal & Kinnard would make Jacksonville’s OL formidable & potentially one of the better units in the NFL. Ojabo is a risk after rupturing his Achilles’ tendon, but he was quite possibly a top ten pick before that. Jacksonville is not in win now mode, they can afford to wait on Ojabo, who could be one of the biggest steals of the draft.

DETROIT LIONS

Round 1, Pick #2: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty

Round 1, Pick #32: Boye Mafe, EDGE, Minnesota

Round 2, Pick #34: Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State

Round 3, Pick #66: David Bell, WR, Purdue

Round 3, Pick #97: Mykael Wright, CB, Oregon

Willis wowed at his pro day, and he has the highest ceiling of any QB in this class. Jared Goff is not the answer for the Lions, but I believe they found one. Early focus on their pass defense, well needed. Bell is a great value pick in the third and at a position of need for Detroit.

HOUSTON TEXANS

Round 1, Pick #3: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan

Round 1, Pick #13: Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa

Round 2, Pick #37: Perrion Winfrey, IDL, Oklahoma

Round 3, Pick #68: Calvin Austin III, WR, Memphis

Round 3, Pick #80: Derion Kendrick, CB, Georgia

Texans have Hutchinson fall into their laps, and use one of the picks acquired in the Deshaun Watson trade for one of my favorite OTs in the draft. All their picks could make significant contributions to a team with needs everywhere,

NEW YORK JETS

Round 1, Pick #4: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame

Round 1, Pick #10: Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

Round 2, Pick #35: Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan

Round 2, Pick #38: Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State

Round 3, Pick #69: Nicholas Petit-Frere, OT, Ohio State

Jets would absolutely hit a home run with this haul. Hamilton may be the best overall player in the draft. “Sauce” Gardner is the top CB. Getting a potential franchise LT in the third round is huge.

NEW YORK GIANTS

Round 1, Pick #5: Ikem Ekwonu, OT, NC State

Round 1, Pick #7: Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon

Round 2, Pick #36: Tyler Smith, IOL, Tulsa

Round 3, Pick #67: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina

Round 3, Pick #81: Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State

Great draft haul for the Giants, especially their two top ten selections, but Big Blue fans will focus on those third rounders. Giants need a back up plan at QB, Howell could make it easier to part ways with Daniel Jones. There has been chatter about the Giants shopping Saquon Barkley, Hall’s addition would make that chatter louder.

CAROLINA PANTHERS

Round 1, Pick #6: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh

Personally, I think it would be somewhat foolish to use their only pick in the first three rounds on a QB that probably won’t contribute much as a rookie. Panthers HC Matt Rhule may or may not be on the hot seat this season, but there is certainly an argument to be made that QB play has limited Carolina’s growth under his command.

ATLANTA FALCONS

Round 1, Pick #8: Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State

Round 2, Pick #38: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss

Round 2, Pick #58: Logan Hall, EDGE, Houston

Round 3, Pick #74: Darrian Beavers, LB, Cincinnati

Round 3, Pick #82: Ed Ingram, IOL, LSU

The Falcons first two picks are influenced by Calvin Ridley’s suspension and the trade of franchise legend Matt Ryan.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Round 1, Pick #9: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State

Round 2, Pick #40: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

Round 2, Pick #41: Desmond Ridder, QB, Cincinnati

Round 3, Pick #72: Kingsley Enagbare, EDGE, South Carolina

Seahawks are a potential landing spot for Baker Mayfield, I think they’re the front runners, which may or may not preclude them from drafting Ridder. Cross could be an anchor on what’s been a consistently mediocre OL. Dean represents the replacement for Seattle legend Bobby Wagner.

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Round 1, Pick #11: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

Round 2, Pick #47: Sean Rhyan, IOL, UCLA

Pairing Williams with Terry McLaurin would give new QB, Carson Wentz, the best set of receivers he’s ever had.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Round 1, Pick #12: Derek Stingley Jr, CB, LSU

Round 2, Pick #46: Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor

Round 3, Pick #77: Channing Tindall, LB, Georgia

The Vikings going defense on all three picks is a bit surprising, but their biggest needs are on that side of the ball.

BALTIMORE RAVENS

Round 1, Pick #14: Jordan Davis, IDL, Georgia

Round 2, Pick #35: Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA

Round 3, Pick #76: Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC

Round 3, Pick #100: Spencer Burford, IOL, UTSA

The Ravens continue the defensive make over they started last year.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Round 1, Pick #15: Travon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

Round 1, Pick #16: Andrew Booth Jr, CB, Clemson

Round 1, Pick #19: Zion Johnson, IOL, Boston College

Round 2, Pick #51: Quay Walker, LB, Georgia

Round 3, Pick #83: Jalen Torbert, WR, South Alabama

Eagles get slam dunks with their first four picks, and Torbert has the upside to make it five for five.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Round 1, Pick #17: Devonte Wyatt, IDL, Georgia

Round 3, Pick #79: Isaiah Likely, TE, Coastal Carolina

Chargers gave up their second rounder to acquire Khalil Mack, so that needs to factor into the evaluation. Wyatt adds to an already upgraded D.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Round 1, Pick #18: Drake London, WR, USC

Round 2, Pick #49: Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan

Round 3, Pick #98: James Cook, RB, Georgia

Round 3, Pick #101: Damarri Mathis, S, Pittsburgh

Saints don’t draft a QB after publicly flirting with, but ultimately failing to land Deshaun Watson. That’s fine, Jameis Winston was good last season before his injury. Cook will help lighten the load on Alvin Kamara and soften the blow on his possible suspension.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Round 1, Pick #20: Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, Florida State

Round 2, Pick #52: Jamaree Salyer, IOL, Georgia

Round 3, Pick #84: Mario Goodrich, CB, Clemson

How quickly Pittsburgh moved to sign Mitchell Trubisky tells you all you need to know about how the Steelers view the QBs in this draft. They aren’t taking one. Johnson gives TJ Watt the running mate on the edge that he didn’t have last season.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Round 1, Pick #21: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

Round 2, Pick #54: Christian Harris, LB, Alabama

Round 3, Pick #85: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State

Patriots draft a replacement for JC Jackson in McDuffie & keep the Belichick-Saban pipeline open with the Harris selection.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

Round 1, Pick #22: George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue

Round 1, Pick #28: Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas

Round 2, Pick #53: Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota

Round 2, Pick #59: Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming

Round 3, Pick #92: Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State

Packers get their replacements for Za’Darius Smith & Davante Adams, respectively, in the first round. Their other three picks could also make significant contributions as rookies. Good haul, dammit.

ARIZONA CARDINALS

Round 1, Pick #23: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State

Round 2, Pick #55: Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn

Round 3, Pick #87: Troy Andersen, LB, Montana State

Cardinals land another dynamic weapon for Kyler Murray and a potential starting CB.

DALLAS COWBOYS

Round 1, Pick #24: Daxton Hill, S, Michigan

Round 2, Pick #56: Travis Jones, IDL, UConn

Round 3, Pick #88: Alontae Taylor, CB, Tennessee

On the surface, there doesn’t appear to be much for Cowboys fans to get excited about, but this a solid haul.

BUFFALO BILLS

Round 1, Pick #25: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State

Round 2, Pick #57: Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan State

Round 3, Pick #89: Marcus Jones, CB, Houston

Olave is too good for Buffalo to pass up, Walker gives them the bell cow RB the Bills have lacked. Opposing defensive coaches will have plenty of sleepless nights.

TENNESSEE TITANS

Round 1, Pick #26: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah

Round 3, Pick #90: Cade Otton, TE, Washington

Lloyd seems like a Mike Vrabel type of player.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Round 1, Pick #27: Kenyon Green, IOL, Texas A&M

Round 2, Pick #60: Isaiah Spiller, RB, Texas A&M

Round 3, Pick #91: Phidarian Mathis, IDL, Alabama

The Bucs’ off season was made when the GOAT, Tom Brady un-retired. Green fills a need, while Spiller and Mathis inject youth into important areas.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Round 1, Pick #29: Lewis Cine, S, Georgia

Round 1, Pick #30: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida

Round 2, Pick #50: Cameron Thomas, EDGE, San Diego State

Round 2, Pick #62: John Metchie III, WR, Alabama

Round 3, Pick #94: JoJo Domann, LB, Nebraska

Round 3, Pick #103: Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State

After trading away Tyreek Hill, it would be surprising if the Chiefs wait until their fourth pick to take a WR, and one coming off an ACL injury, but Metchie’s skill set comes as close to Hill’s unique talents as one can hope. Cine will replace the likely departed Tyrann Mathieu.

CINCINNATI BENGALS

Round 1, Pick #31: Tyler Linderbaum, IOL, Iowa

Round 2, Pick #63: Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State

Round 3, Pick #95: Josh Williams, CB, Fayetteville State

Bengals have already significantly upgraded their OL in free agency, but Linderbaum is too good to pass up.

CHICAGO BEARS

Round 2, Pick #39: Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington

Round 2, Pick #48: George Pickens, WR, Georgia

Round 3, Pick #71: Cole Strange, IOL, Chattanooga

Without a first round pick, used to acquire Justin Fields last year, the Bears address their biggest needs with their first three picks. Albeit, not in the order most would expect. Gordon’s availability at #39 changes their priority.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Round 2, Pick #42: Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State

Round 3, Pick #73: Carson Strong, QB, Nevada

Colts, regrettably, sacrificed their first round pick in the ill-fated Carson Wentz acquisition. This team is built to win now, and new QB, Matt Ryan, gives them the best chance. Ryan’s age does mean Indy should consider a succession plan, hence the pick of Strong.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

Round 2, Pick #44: DeMarvin Leal, IDL, Texas A&M

Round 3, Pick #78: Nik Bonitto, EDGE, Oklahoma

Round 3, Pick #99: Kerby Joseph, S, Illinois

Browns traded their first rounder to land QB Deshaun Watson, consider that when judging their draft.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Round 2, Pick #61: Dylan Parham, IOL, Memphis

Round 3, Pick #93: Sam Williams, EDGE, Ole Miss

Round 3, Pick #105: Kyle Phillips, WR, UCLA

Niners gave up their first rounder to pick Trey Lance last year. San Fran nearly made the Super Bowl last season, and go best player available with their picks.

DENVER BRONCOS

Round 2, Pick #64: Josh Paschal, EDGE, Kentucky

Round 3, Pick #75: Leo Chenal, LB, Wisconsin

Round 3, Pick #96: Cam Taylor-Britt, CB, Nebraska

Broncos traded their first rounder to acquire Russell Wilson. Paschal fills the void left by Von Miller’s trade last season,

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Round 3, Pick #86: Zachary Carter, IDL, Florida

Raiders used their first and second round picks to acquire Davante Adams. Carter figures into their defensive line rotation.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

Round 3, Pick #102: Tyreke Smith, EDGE, Ohio State

Miami’s first and second rounders went to KC for Tyreek Hill. They use their lone pick in the first three rounds to bolster their pass rush.

LOS ANGELES RAMS

Round 3, Pick #104: Jesse Luketa, LB, Penn State

Rams just don’t care about early round picks, shipping them off for key pieces regularly. Hard to argue with a Super Bowl championship. Luketa was best player available.
