TheOneFromNone Mock Draft
Process: I wrote the top 5 draftable people in each position, except FB, K, and P. I didn’t do a deep dive on any position. What this is, is me taking a look at each teams current roster and doing what I think they should or would do. I fully expect to be wrong.
-
New York Giants
-
Team Needs: QB, C, ROLB, SS
-
Projected Pick: QB - Joe Allen
-
Thoughts: QB Joe Allen has the upside over Tim Fowler. Giants have a glaring hole at QB, this is a no brainer
-
Pittsburgh Steelers
-
Team Needs: QB, LT, LE, DT, CB,
-
Projected Pick: QB - Tim Fowler
-
Thoughts: The Steelers drafted Pickett last year, and this year they will go 2 QBs in 2 1st rounds. Pat Allen really wanted Joe Allen, but will have to settle with Tim Fowler
-
Houston Texans
-
Team Needs: QB, LT, RG, RT, DT, MLB, CB
-
Projected Pick: CB Franklin Goodwin
-
Thoughts: The Texans have many holes in this team. But, getting an almost guarantee at corner in a pass happy league is a great get.
-
Cincinnati Bengals
-
Team Needs: QB, TE, LG, LOLB, ROLB, SS
-
Projected Pick: TE Justin Peerman
-
Thoughts: They have a huge need at QB. They may be finding a stop gap in free agency, but letting Peerman fall out of the top 5 looks like it hits its end at #4. Giving whomever the Bengals get a great target at TE to pair with one of the best cores in the league.
-
Houston Texans
-
Team Needs: QB, LT, RG, RT, MLB, OLB
-
Projected Pick: ROLB Jason Neal
-
Thoughts: QB could be the pick here, but I think a pass rusher to help Garrett is gotta be a get.
-
Seattle Seahawks
-
Team Needs: WR, LE, RE, DT, FS
-
Projected Pick: LE Brett Elston
-
Thoughts: Seahawks would’ve loved for Peerman or Goodwin to fall, but instead have one of the top prospects fall in their lap.
-
Indianapolis Colts
-
Team Needs: QB, TE, RG, LE, ROLB
-
Projected Pick: LOLB Josh Logan
-
Thoughts: The Colts were hoping for Peerman here. But, with questions after the top 2 QBs, they look to the defense and Josh Logan is the guy.
-
Carolina Panthers
-
Team Needs: WR, TE, OT, MLB
-
Projected Pick: MLB Shaq Redmon
-
Thoughts: They moved a lot of WRs out and Tommy Tremble may be their TE. RT is the safer pick, but Redmon gives the Panthers a nice option to stop the TE and help in run support.
-
New York Jets
-
Team Needs: QB, LT, LE, LOLB
-
Projected Pick: QB Randy Brooks
-
Thoughts: Jets traded away Zach Wilson. I think they wanted to start over. There are other concerns, but they are the team I see jumping to get a QB in the 1st round.
-
Miami Dolphins
-
Team Needs: QB, RG, DT, SS
-
Projected Pick: DT Lamichael Dobson
-
Thoughts: RZ Super Bowl Champs need a QB, but a QB in the draft doesn’t seem to be the answer. Getting a premier DT in the 10th round, what a steal.
-
Atlanta Falcons
-
Team Needs: HB, LG, RT, LE, ROLB, SS
-
Projected Pick: RT Matt Patchett
-
Thoughts: The Falcons needed a lot of things this offseason, but after giving up 60+ sacks, the OL has to be a priority.
-
Washington Commanders
-
Team Needs: QB, OLB, G,
-
Projected Pick: ROLB Ben Feeny
-
Thoughts: QB Sam Howell might not be the Commanders guys this season, but they aren’t looking the 1st round for his competition. Ben Feeny would be a nice addition behind on the best DE groups right now.
-
Cincinnati Bengals
-
Team Needs: LG, LOLB, ROLB, SS
-
Projected Pick: SS Matt Thompson
-
Thoughts: I dropped QB off as a need as I don’t see them getting one this early. Getting the best Strong Safety on a team currently with questions at strong safety, the Bengals pounce at this.
-
Las Vegas Raiders
-
Team Needs: LG, C, RG, RT, LE, DT
-
Projected Pick: LE Sergio Spearman
-
Thoughts: Raiders have a lot of answers already at skill positions. And while I think the BETTER idea would be to address the OL, I don’t see that happening. Instead, they look to Sergio Spearman to help with the pass rush.
-
Jacksonville Jaguars
-
Team Needs: TE, LG, RG, RT, RE, SS
-
Projected Pick: RT Jon Spears
-
Thoughts: The Jaguars would’ve loved a tight end here, but instead, they address one area where they currently have 0 players on the roster at. J
-
Cincinnati Bengals
-
Team Needs: LG, LOLB, ROLB
-
Projected Pick: LG Ty Blake
-
Thoughts: I think the Bengals have got to consider Blake here. The current guard is just simply not good. This could potentially give them a solid OL from left to right.
-
Seattle Seahawks
-
Team Needs: WR, RE, DT, FS
-
Projected Pick: FS Brian Colon
-
Thoughts: Taylor Rapp is a serviceable FS. Getting Brian Cole would be a major upgrade from Rapp. I think this is the right play here.
-
New England Patriots
-
Team Needs: WR, RE
-
Projected Pick: WR Bruce Bolden
-
Thoughts: The Patriots aren’t amazing, but they certainly don’t have a lot of holes. WR isn’t their strongest position but adding Bolden to it could certainly give them some explosiveness.
-
Arizona Cardinals
-
Team Needs: WR, RG, RE, ROLB, CB
-
Projected Pick: CB Evan McNair
-
Thoughts: I think the Cardinals flirt with the idea of a WR here, but instead, they take a safe pick and grab a corner. They have 2 startable CBs. After that, it’s a steep drop off.
-
Philadelphia Eagles
-
Team Needs: QB, MLB, FS,
-
Projected Pick: FS Malcom Capers
-
Thoughts: This is another team that didn’t really have a lot of holes. But one of the holes in Free Safety. This might be a little high for Capers; if it is, it’s not by much. I think the Eagles are happy he lands in their feet
-
Baltimore Ravens
-
Team Needs: RT, RE, CB
-
Projected Pick: RT Mike Chambers
-
Thoughts: I think the Ravens could go CB here, to help with teams like the Bengals in their division, but instead, they give Lamar on the best RTs in the draft. Not a sexy pick, but it’s the right pick.
-
Cleveland Browns
-
Team Needs: RT, LE, RE, LOLB,
-
Projected Pick: LE Rob Mellon
-
Thoughts: A Pretty solid team, the Browns must replace Garrett. Rob Mellon is ready to step into that spot right away.
-
Buffalo Bills
-
Team Needs: LG, RT, LOLB
-
Projected Pick: LOLB Jeremiah Carradine
-
Thoughts: The Bills have Milano. That’s it. I think Carradine is the best pick here for someone who is going to be the guy from day 1.
-
Green Bay Packers
-
Team Needs: WR, RT, SS
-
Projected Pick: SS Travis Thomas
-
Thoughts: A WR here would be nice. RT may be as well. But, hurting from letting Amos go, the Packers need to find his replacement asap.
-
New York Jets
-
Team Needs: LT, LE, LOLB
-
Projected Pick: LT Travis Clements
-
Thoughts: I think the first LT off the board, Clements, finally goes here to pair with the Jets rookie QB.
-
Kansas City Chiefs
-
Team Needs: RE
-
Projected Pick: RE Chris Barker
-
Thoughts: This was a fun/easy one. They have 1 need. Found the best player at the position.
-
Tennessee Titans
-
Team Needs: TE, RT, LE, OLB,
-
Projected Pick: LE Rob Mellon
-
Thoughts: One of the blaring holes in this team is DE. Rob Mellon is a day one starter.
-
Indianapolis Colts
-
Team Needs: QB, TE, RG, LE
-
Projected Pick: RG Julian Lamb
-
Thoughts: Not a sexy pick but getting late in the 1st round. Do you risk it for a Camarillo or do you take Julian Lamb?
-
Tennessee Titans
-
Team Needs: TE, RT, OLB
-
Projected Pick: LOLB Max Barrett
-
Thoughts: After grabbing Rob Mellon, they look the next level. Max Barnett comes in to Tennessee and ready to be the starter
-
New Orleans Saints
-
Team Needs: TE, G, C, RT, RE, OLB
-
Projected Pick: ROLB Duane Thompkins
-
Thoughts: Fresh off a great season, the Saints have remodeled that whole team. Despite a need a OL, the Saints make a splash in grabbing Duane Thompkins.
-
Carolina Panthers
-
Team Needs: WR, TE, OT
-
Projected Pick: WR Lance Dobson
-
Thoughts: Panthers look to fill a void next to Moore. Lance Dobson gives the Panthers a deep threat.
-
Miami Dolphins
-
Team Needs: QB, G, SS
-
Projected Pick: LG Frank Marshall
-
Thoughts: I think the Dolphins play it safe here, and just grab on the BPA that’s left. No reason to take a risk.
-
Houston Texans (BONUS!!!)
-
Team Needs: QB, LT, RG, RT, MLB
-
Projected Pick: LT Brad Johnson
-
Thoughts: Texans could go anywhere. But getting the 2nd best LT with the 1st pick of the 2nd round, the Texans gladly take it.
