Instant Analysis<\/strong>:\u00a0 Darnold still holds down the top spot, although it is getting harder and harder to ignore the Josh Allen-to-the-Browns chatter.\u00a0 I already laid out the argument why the Giants should draft their next franchise quarterback here<\/a>, but for this mock I’m going to give them the only other player they should consider at 2: DE Bradley Chubb.\u00a0 Gettleman is old school; he’ll love the positional value of getting a pass rusher with a premium draft pick.\u00a0 I think the Jets are smitten with Baker Mayfield, but really after the Christian Heckenburg disaster they’ll settle for any one of the top 4 QBs.\u00a0 Cleveland adds the best corner in the draft (an area of desperate need for this team).\u00a0 McGlinchey is the first real surprise (but not the last) of this mock.\u00a0 Denver tried to upgrade their O-line with a nixed trade with the Dolphins for Ja’Wuan James.\u00a0 Gil Brandt thinks the Notre Dame prospect is going in the Top 10, so why not to Denver?\u00a0 Indy will be tempted to trade down, but when a blue-chip prospect like Nelson falls in their lap they should sprint to the podium.\u00a0 Same goes for the Bucs with Barkley.\u00a0 I’m not exactly projecting trades in this mock per se, but the way the board has fallen so far, the Bears are in the catbird seat to trade down (and still have a chance at landing the prospect they are eyeing).\u00a0 This would be seen as a big win for Ryan Pace, whom still has a black eye after the drubbing he took for jumping one spot last year for Trubisky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’ll probably be dead-wrong about Sutton (my highest rated WR this year), but I totally expect John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan to invest heavily on the offensive side of the ball this draft.\u00a0 Jimmy G about to get some new weapons!\u00a0 Due to the QB-heavy nature of this draft, some teams that are patience and sit tight are going to have studs fall into their laps.\u00a0 Smith (Georgia) and Vea (Washington) fit that description well.\u00a0 Inevitably, a couple of these QBs will tumble come draft day; in this mock that is Josh Alllen and Lamar Jackson.\u00a0 Washington could trade out, or take one of the quarterbacks.\u00a0 Afterall, everywhere Alex Smith ends up the team immediately drafts his replacement.<\/p>\n

Defense dominates the bottom half of this mock.\u00a0 The smart play at the bottom third of the first round is to grab a QB and lock up that 5th year option.\u00a0 That’s exactly what I have the Saints and Jags doing by taking Jackson and Rudolph at 27 and 29, respectfully.<\/p>\n
