The regular season is over, so now it’s mock draft season! The first 18 picks are set, 19 through 31 (Miami forfeited their first round pick) are still to be determined. Let’s dive right in.

1. CHICAGO BEARS- Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama: I fully expect Chicago to trade out of this spot for a monster haul, but if they stay put it’s between Anderson & Jalen Carter. I opted for Anderson because IDL are available in free agency.

2. HOUSTON TEXANS- Bryce Young, QB, Alabama: Texans have to go QB here, but they’ll have to fend off other suitors for Young.

3. ARIZONA CARDINALS- Jalen Carter, IDL, Georgia: Arizona is a potential trade target for QB needy teams, but staying put lands them a disruptive force on their defensive line.

4. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS- CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State: Colts cannot keep playing the veteran QB carousel. They may covet Young and move up, but staying at 4 lands them Stroud.

5. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (from Denver)- Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson: A gift from the Russell Wilson trade, Seattle continues rebuilding their defense.

6. DETROIT LIONS (from LA Rams)- Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia: Detroit is a team on the rise, need to strengthen the defense to take the next step.

7. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS- Will Levis, QB, Kentucky: Raiders have signaled they’re ready to move on from QB Derek Carr. Unless they trade up, Levis could be their target.

8. ATLANTA FALCONS- Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech: Falcons could go in many directions with this pick, including QB, but I have them bolstering their pass rush.

9. CAROLINA PANTHERS- Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida: I have to think Carolina has to take a QB here, Richardson is the only first round worthy one left.

10. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (from New Orleans)- Noah Sewell, LB, Oregon: Philly has very few holes to fill, LB may be one.

11. TENNESSEE TITANS- Paris Johnson Jr, OT, Ohio State: Titans take the top tackle in the draft.

12. HOUSTON TEXANS (from Cleveland)- Jordan Addison, WR, USC: Texans get their new QB a number one receiver.

13. NEW YORK JETS- Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern: Jets may move on from Zach Wilson, but they’ll do it with a veteran not through the draft. Here they’ll bolster his protection.

14. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS- Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon: Belichick knows he needs lockdown corners in a division with Buffalo & Miami.

15. GREEN BAY PACKERS- Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame: Will Aaron Rodgers return or retire? Who knows, but let’s add a reliable TE to the mix.

16. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS- Joey Porter, Jr, CB, Penn State: Commanders need a QB, but none worth this pick. Instead they’ll bolster the pass defense.

17. PITTSBURGH STEELERS- Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina: I have the Steelers eyeing corners, Smith is the top one still on the board.

18. DETROIT LIONS- Bryan Bresee, IDL, Clemson: Lions go defense, again, with their second first rounder.

The order of the rest of the picks are subject to change.

19. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS- Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia: Brady’s future is uncertain, but QB isn’t really an option here. Revamping the pass rush is Tampa’s choice.

20. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS- Brian Branch, S, Alabama: Love the pairing of player & team here.

21. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS- Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M: Jags could go several directions here, I have them opting to strengthen the back end of their defense.

22. NEW YORK GIANTS- Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State: Giants have to get a receiver.

23. BALTIMORE RAVENS- Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU: Ravens are one of the best drafting teams in the NFL, it helps when the board falls your way.

24. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS- Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson: Chargers address the weakest part of their defense.

25. DALLAS COWBOYS- Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas: Tony Pollard is a free agent. Zeke Elliot is not what he used to be & Robinson is a Texas guy, definitely feels like a Jerry Jones pick.

26. CINCINNATI BENGALS- Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia: Cincy improved their OL last offseason but it still needs work.

27. MINNESOTA VIKINGS- Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah: Minnesota needs to keep improving the pass defense.

28. DENVER BRONCOS (from SF via Miami)- BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU: Broncos draft a replacement for Bradley Chubb.

29. BUFFALO BILLS- O’Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida: Not many needs for Buffalo, interior offensive line might be one.

30. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS- Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame: Chiefs go with a pass rusher.

31. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES- Eli Ricks, CB, Alabama: Eagles may need a replacement for James Bradberry.
