I said I wouldn’t do another first round mock until after free agency frenzy, barring any trades beforehand, but I never said I wouldn’t do any mocks at all. I love mock draft season, I can’t get enough. For this one, I picked six teams and did full seven round mocks for each.

I picked these six because 1 is my team, the other 5 are teams I have friends that root for. It must be noted that I did each team’s mock separately, so there may be the same players listed for different teams.

I decided to include trades mainly because I’m pretty certain my Chicago Bears are going to trade out of the first overall pick, so I might as well do trades for everyone. I used Pro Football Focus’s mock draft machine because their trades are the most realistic.

Without further ado:

CHICAGO BEARS

Rd1, Pick9- Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech

Rd2, Pick46- John Michael Schmitz, IOL, Minnesota

Rd2, Pick54- Siaki Ika, IDL, Baylor

Rd2, Pick61- Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa

Rd3, Pick64- Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee

Rd3, Pick90- Cody Mauch, OT, North Dakota State

Rd4, Pick103- Kei’Trel Clark, CB, Louisville

Rd4, Pick117- Keondre Coburn, IDL, Texas

Rd4, Pick134- Andrew Vorhees, IOL, USC

Rd5, Pick137- Chase Brown, RB, Illinois

Rd5, Pick150- Rakim Jarrett, WR, Maryland

Rd5, Pick176- Connor Galvin, OT, Baylor

Rd7, Pick 220- Zack Kuntz, TE, Old Dominion

A lot went on here. I had Bears GM Ryan Poles wheeling & dealing. A quick recap of the trades:

Traded the #1 overall pick to Indianapolis for the #4 & #35 in this draft, PLUS Indy’s first & second rounders in 2024.

Traded the #4 pick to Carolina for #9 & #61 this year AND Carolina’s ‘24 first rounder.

Traded pick #35 to New England for picks #46, 76 & 117.

Traded pick #76 to Dallas for picks #90 & 176 this year AND Dallas’ 2024 fourth rounder.

So, double trade down in the first round? It’s possible, but unlikely. It’s good to think big in mock drafts though. Bears add 2 ‘24 firsts and get an edge (Wilson) that’s a better schematic fit than Will Anderson may be.

I was also able to add a day one starting center (Schmitz), a good rotational piece to the defensive line (Ika), a possible starting LB (Campbell), a speedy WR with a ton of potential (Hyatt), offensive line depth & a replacement for David Montgomery (Brown), should Monty leave in free agency.

Overall, I’m pretty pleased with this Bears mock. PFF gave this an A grade.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Rd1, Pick 17- Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia

Rd2, Pick32- Mazi Smith, IDL, Michigan

Rd2, Pick49- Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse

Rd4, Pick 108- Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee

Rd4, Pick120- Ji’Ayir Brown, S, Penn State

Rd7, Pick236- Carlton Martial, LB, Troy

Rd7, Pick243- TJ Bass, OT, Oregon

I had the Steelers making one trade, sending pick #80 to Denver for pick #108 & Denver’s 2024 third & fourth rounders.

This is the first mock I’ve run where Pittsburgh doesn’t go defense in the first round. Jones should help protect Kenny Pickett, while Tillman will give him 3 high end receiver targets. Smith & Williams should be immediate contributors on defense.

PFF gave this Steelers mock draft an A- grade.

NEW YORK GIANTS

Rd1, Pick25- Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College

Rd2, Pick57- Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson

Rd3, Pick93- Kendre Miller, RB, TCU

Rd3, Pick100- Jaquelin Roy, IDL, LSU

Rd4, Pick128- Trey Palmer, WR, Nebraska

Rd5, Pick162- Trey Dean III, S, Florida

Rd6, Pick209- Clayton Tune, QB, Houston

Rd6, Pick218- Darrell Luter Jr, CB, South Alabama

Rd7, Pick 242- Richard Gouraige, OT, Florida

Rd7, Pick245- Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State

Rd7, Pick254- Daniel Scott, S, California

Giants made one trade in this mock, sending pick #89 to Carolina for pick #93 and Carolina’s 2024 fifth rounder.

Flowers & Simpson should be immediate contributors and key pieces of the Giants’ future. Miller is a nice insurance policy in case Saquon Barkley leaves. NY will almost certainly pay QB Daniel Jones, and they’ll most certainly regret it. Taking flyers on late round QBs is never a bad idea.

PFF gave this mock an A- grade.

DALLAS COWBOYS

Rd1, Pick26- Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

Rd2, Pick60- Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson

Rd3, Pick90- JL Skinner, S, Boise State

Rd4, Pick129- Byron Young, IDL, Alabama

Rd5, Pick163- Luke Haggard, OT, Indiana

Rd5, Pick170- Emil Ekiyor Jr, IOL, Alabama

Rd5, Pick176- Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan

Rd6, Pick212- Dee Winters, LB, TCU

Rd7, Pick246- Jalen Wayne, WR, South Alabama

The Cowboys trade pick #58 to Cincinnati for pick #60 AND Cincy’s fourth rounders in 2024 & 2025.

PFF didn’t like the Robinson pick as much as I did. Positional value and need, I guess. But, with Ezekiel Elliot nowhere near his prime, and Tony Pollard recovering from injury (assuming either remains with the team), I think Jerry Jones would love to add a stud RB from Texas.

PFF also didn’t like my Schoonmaker pick, but it’s up in the air if Dalton Schultz returns. I could have targeted a WR earlier than with their last pick, I suppose.

PFF gave this a B+ grade.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Rd1, Pick13- Calijah Kancey, IDL, Pittsburgh

Rd1, Pick30- Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

Rd2, Pick43- Tuli Tuipuloto, EDGE, USC

Rd2, Pick62- Trenton Simpson, LB, Clemson

Rd3, Pick94- Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee

Rd7, Pick221- Caleb Murphy, IOL, Indiana

Rd7, Pick250- Brandon Hill, S, Pittsburgh

Eagles traded pick #10 to the New York Jets for picks #13 & 43.

Philly is coming off a Super Bowl appearance and has no glaring needs, so I traded down from 10, at 13 I still wasn’t crazy about any of the players in that range and I looked to trade down again, but I couldn’t find a good match. Kancey could help replace Javon Hargraves and/or Brandon Graham if they leave.

PFF, once again, didn’t like the selection of Robinson, but I just think of how dangerous this Eagles offense would be with his addition, a huge upgrade over Miles Sanders & Boston Scott.

Philly is in a perfect position to take a chance on Hooker, whose skill set is closer to Jalen Hurts than Gardner Minshew is.

PFF grades this Eagles mock draft a B.

MIAMI DOLPHINS

Rd2, Pick52- John Michael Schmitz, IOL, Minnesota

Rd3, Pick77- Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia

Rd3, Pick84- DeMarvion Overshown, LB, Texas

Rd6, Pick198- Ryan Hayes, OT, Michigan

Rd7, Pick240- Habakkuk Baldonado, EDGE, Pittsburgh

Miami only has five picks total, and doesn’t make their first selection until the end of the second round. Still, I think I did well for the Dolphins.

Schmitz, Ringo & Overshown should be immediate contributors and long term pieces. Hayes is good OL depth & you can never have too many pass rushers.

PFF gave this Dolphins mock a B+ grade.

That’s it, for now. If you’re reading this and would like to see seven round projections for any other team, please let me know. I’ll be happy to go down the mock draft rabbit hole, again.
