| # | Team | updated 4/29/21 |
| 1 | Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence* (QB) – Clemson – 6-6 – 220 – 4.7 (40) – Lawrence is a no-brainer no.1 pick and will instantly lift the Jaguars franchise back into relevance. Even with the impressive rise of Zach Wilson it’s hard to imagine anyone but Lawrence at no.1. |
| 2 | Jets | Zach Wilson (QB) – BYU – 6-3 – 210 – The Jets need to get their QB of the future here and they have a potential superstar sitting at no.2. Wilson is one of the most dynamic throwers to come out in years. He’s got some of that Mahomes magic. |
| 3 | 49ers (from Dolphins) | Trey Lance* (QB) – N. Dakota State – 6-3 – 225 – The 49ers need a stud at QB and Lance is just that. He might need a year to adjust but his upside is through the roof. |
| 4 | Falcons | Kyle Pitts* (TE) – Florida – 6-6 – 239 – The Falcons could look for their QB of the future but it’ll b hard to pass on an elite offensive talent like Kyle Pitts. |
| 5 | Bengals | Ja’Marr Chase* (WR) – LSU – 6-1 – 205 – Chase didn’t play last season but was sensational as a sophomore. He’s the top WR on just about every board and would be a great fit in Cincinnati, reuniting with his college QB. |
| 6 | Dolphins (from Eagles) | Penei Sewell (OT) – Oregon – 6-6 – 325 – Sewell sat out last year but his draft stock remains sky high. He projects as a dominant OT who should anchor the line for the next decade. |
| 7 | Lions | Justin Fields* (QB) – Ohio State – 6-3 – 225 – 4.5 (40) – Fields has elite tools and could land in the top 5 on draft day. If he falls to the Lions at no.7 he’d be hard to pass up, or another team could jump into this spot to land the QB. |
| 8 | Panthers | Patrick Surtain II (CB) – Alabama – 6-2 – 203 – The best player at one of the most important positions in football could land Surtain in the top 10. |
| 9 | Broncos | Mac Jones (QB) – Alabama – 6-3 – 214 – Jones might not have elite arm strength but he’s deadly accurate with the ball and makes quick reads. |
| 10 | Cowboys | Jaycee Horn (CB) – S. Carolina – 6-1 – 200 – Horn plays an aggressive style on the outside, bringing toughness and competitive fire to the CB position. |
| 11 | Giants | DeVonta Smith (WR) – Alabama – 6-1 – 175 – 4.4 (40) – Smith is a polished and ultra-talented receiver but could stand to add a few pounds to his thin frame. |
| 12 | Eagles (from Dolphins) | Kwity Paye (DE) – Michigan – 6-3 – 270 – Paye is an explosive athlete who measures off the charts with his movement skills. He’s a versatile D-lineman who is quick off the ball and can really disrupt in the backfield. |
| 13 | Chargers | Jaylen Waddle (WR)– Alabama – 5-10 – 182 – Waddle is a burner who was banged up this past season but scouts know what he can do. On some boards he’s rated over DeVonta. |
| 14 | Vikings | Rashawn Slater (OT) -Northwestern – 6-4 – 308 – Slater plays with great technique and possesses great athleticism for an O-lineman. Linemen don’t get a lot of buzz from the media but Slater is a special talent who likely lands in the 8-14 range. |
| 15 | Patriots | Alijah Vera-Tucker (OT) – USC – 6-4 – 315 – Vera-Tucker is a potentially elite lineman who will get consideration starting around pick 13. He’s a versatile player who might end up at guard. |
| 16 | Cardinals | Jaelan Phillips (DE) -Miami – 6-5 – 266 – Phillips is the top ranked edge rusher on some boards and projects as a mid first round pick. |
| 17 | Raiders | Micah Parsons (OLB) – Penn State – 6-3 – 240 – Parsons has rare athletic ability and is a big time playmaker in the middle of the defense but some off the field red flags could cause him to drop. |
| 18 | Dolphins | Trevon Moehrig (S) – TCU – 6-2 – 208 – The most dominant safety in college ball last season, Moehrig is a menace in the middle of the defense. |
| 19 | Washington | Christian Darrisaw (OT) – Virginia Tech – 6-5 -314 – Teams are always in need of OT help and so it’s hard to see Darrisaw falling out of the top half of round one. |
| 20 | Bears | Greg Newsome II (CB) – Northwestern – 6-0 – 192 – Newsome is rising up the board and could be the third CB off the board. |
2022 NFL Mock Draft – 2023 NFL Mock Draft
| 21 | Colts | Teven Jenkins (OT) – Oklahoma State – 6-6 – 320 – Another top end tackle in a draft class loaded with top end talent on the offensive line. |
| 22 | Titans | Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (LB) – Notre Dame – 6-2 – 216 – A sensational athlete who flies all over the field. Undersized as a linebacker but can cover sideline to sideline. |
| 23 | Jets (from Seahawks) | Terrence Marshall Jr. (WR) – 6-3 – 200 – Marshall isn’t the headliner in this WR class but he’s got all the tools to be a true no.1. Could be a steal in the late first or early second. |
| 24 | Steelers | Najee Harris (RB) – Alabama – 6-2 – 230 – Harris is the ultra power-back who also has good open field ability. He’ll likely benefit from Derrick Henry’s dominating play, since they are built in the same mold. |
| 25 | Jaguars (from Rams) | Azeez Ojulari (DE) – Georgia – 6-3 – 240 – Ojulari is a pure speed rusher with elite burst. |
| 26 | Browns | Jamin Davis (LB) – Kentucky – 6-4 – 234 – An elite athlete who is rising up draft boards in the post season. |
| 27 | Ravens | Rashod Bateman (WR) – Minnesota – 6-2 – 210 – Bateman has legit no.1 receiver ability. He’s a big body with good hands and speed. |
| 28 | Saints | Gregory Rousseau (DE) – Miami – 6-6 – 260 – Tall and quick with tantalizing upside, Rousseau is very high on some draft boards and low on other boards. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes top 10 or slides to the bottom of the first round. |
| 29 | Packers | Kadarius Toney (WR) – Florida – 6-0 – 193 – An elusive WR with great short area quickness and speed. |
| 30 | Bills | Caleb Farley (DB) – Virginia Tech – 6-2 – 207 – Farley has the talent of a top 15 player but a history of injuries will give teams pause and could cause him to slide down the board. |
| 31 | Ravens (from Chiefs) | Samuel Cosmi (OT) – Texas – 6-7 – 310 – Should be a starting NFL OT for the next decade. |
| 32 | Bucs | Christian Barmore (DT) – Alabama – 6-5 – 310 – Barmore dominated on the interior at Bama and has as much upside as any D-lineman in the draft. A great pass rusher from the inside but might have some growing up to do. |
