N&D NFL MOCK DRAFT 3.3

Pure Chaos!

That was my goal with this mock. I wanted to make it as chaotic as possible, whilst also staying realistic. I hope I accomplished that.

One month to go until Draft Night. I used Pro Football Network’s mock draft tool, as well as NFL Mock Draft Database’s mock draft tool to do this mock.

Let the chaos begin!

I could have gone with total chaos and made this pick anything other than this, but I also wanted realism. Williams to Chicago is pretty much etched in stone.

This pick isn’t completely etched in stone yet, but the engraver has at least carved QUARTERBACK. I think it’ll be Daniels.

In reality, as well as fantasy, the draft truly starts here. Will New England stay put & draft a QB, or will they take a haul from another QB needy team. Minnesota has the most to offer and I don’t think they’ll settle for QB4.

Here we go! I can actually see the Jets doing this. Going all in to maximize the time they have with Aaron Rodgers.

Back to the boring, sorry. Seriously, though, Alt is a massive talent, pun intended, and a perfect fit for what Harbaugh wants to do.

This might be a little bit of a surprise, but I think there’s some realism too. The Giants should, and probably are considering moving on from Daniel Jones.

I tried to find a way for Tennessee to trade out of this spot, in keeping with my chaos theme, but I didn’t find any viable options.

Turner to Atlanta is one of my more concrete projections. Unless someone makes a move in front of them, I’m fairly certain this will be the pick.

Odunze is one of four players that I think Chicago will take if he’s there at nine. The other three being Alt, Turner & Malik Nabers.

I have Arizona trading out of a chance to draft MHJ, so I don’t think they’ll target a WR here, even with Nabers available.

New England is a team in the beginning stages of a massive rebuild. They have needs everywhere, that’s why I think they may be open to trading out of number three.

This should throw the draft on its head. Denver has Jarrett Stidham as its QB1 and no draft capital to move up. They don’t have a second rounder, so barring a trade for someone like Daniel Jones, they have to pull the trigger on a pretty big reach for Nix.

I thought about having Las Vegas follow Denver’s lead and overdraft a QB here, but I think this is a new Raiders regime & honestly, Gardner Minshew is a decent QB to roll the dice with.

If Bowers falls into range, it would make perfect sense for Cincinnati to make this move.

This is one of the boring picks, but I like the fit with Mitchell and Indianapolis.

Miami lost a lot of talent in free agency, making a move up for a talented and versatile offensive lineman makes sense.

Dallas lost its starting left tackle and center in free agency, I think a move up to get the best center prospect in years makes sense.

With the top three offensive tackles off the board, I can see New Orleans adding some draft capital to move down.

Another boring pick, but Latu to the Rams makes a lot of sense. I could see them targeting a replacement for Aaron Donald here as well.

Pittsburgh could use another receiver for their new look QB room, but offensive line feels more like a Steelers move.

Seattle moves down and drafts a defensive lineman to make their defensive engine hum.

Philadelphia stands pat and lets a top notch corner prospect fall to them. Boring.

Detroit makes a bold move up to grab a pass rusher to partner with Aiden Hutchinson.

Jacksonville moves down and drafts a replacement for Calvin Ridley.

Another boring pick. DeJean to Green Bay has been a very consistent projection for me.

Back to back boring picks. Tampa Bay replaces Shaq Barrett.

After passing on receivers with their first pick, Arizona nabs one here.

Buffalo adding the speedy Worthy to replace Gabe Davis has been a consistent projection for me.

How’s this for chaos? Six QBs in the first round. I just don’t see New England leaving this draft without one and after adding major draft capital with their trade out of three, they can afford to reach on Penix and get that fifth year option.
