At this point, only the trivial details of this selection are in question.

So . . . who’s going to wear No. 13 for the Bears this season? Will it be the “general talent,” hopeful face of the franchise and the soon-to-be first overall pick or the well-respected 12th-year, six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver they just acquired?

Sports Illustrated‘s Albert Breer noted this past week that the Commanders could be leaning towards reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels with this pick. And while Breer is one of the very best in the business, we’re sticking with our gut here.

Given his mix of arm talent, size and playmaking ability, Maye is closer to being a QB1B to Williams than he is to being a QB3 in this group.

With the Minnesota Vikings primed to strike a deal for a quarterback around these parts, the Patriots have recently become a popular trade-down partner. But, uh, guess which team also needs a quarterback . . .

The dip in talent following Williams, Maye and Daniels is a pretty clear one. So New England stands pat and takes their own passer of the future.

Minnesota receives: No. 4
Arizona receives: No. 11, No. 23, 2025 third-round pick

Now Minnesota strikes.

As demonstrated in our last mock, the Vikings could have a willing facilitator in the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 5. But just to make sure there’s no space for the New York Giants to potentially squeeze into, the Vikings sweeten the pot to entice the Arizona Cardinals—who would probably love an additional first-rounder to build up their bare roster.

The Michigan man’s first draft pick since leaving Ann Arbor is an Ohio State kid. How about that?

Collegiate alliances are put aside here, and for very good reason. Quarterback Justin Herbert is in dire need of a wide receiver following the losses of both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams—so they grab the best one in this draft.

Malik Nabers is continuing to pick up some steam as the WR2 of this class. Heck, he’s even challenging Harrison Jr. for the WR1 spot in the eyes of some.

But we’ll maintain that the 6-foot-3, 212-pound Odunze, who fits the traditional bill of a No. 1, is a more Giants-y prospect. Plus, as a classic X receiver, he’d give New York an element of size they’re currently lacking at the position.

While the Titans could give second-year quarterback Will Levis a lethal weapon in Nabers, they’ve already invested quite a bit into their receivers room. Instead, they invest in the youngster’s protection.

Tennessee lands the most complete offensive tackle prospect in the class with Alt.

Jacksonville receives: No. 8
Atlanta receives: No. 17, No. 48, No. 114

In November of 2022, the Jaguars were able to snag wideout Calvin Ridley from the Atlanta Falcons. So with Ridley now gone to the same division rivals who just picked from the seventh slot, Jacksonville goes back to their old business partners to secure another premier pass catcher.

Nabers, perhaps the most electric playmaker this draft has to offer, would be a much-needed spark for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the offense that died a slow and painful death in 2023.

Like Houston did in last spring’s draft, Chicago pairs their quarterback of the future with a star pass rusher from Alabama.

And like his old teammate in Will Anderson Jr., Turner is a tad undersized entering the pros. But among his many desirable traits, he has a very high motor—one, as evidenced by his blazing 40-yard dash in Indy, might’ve come straight out of a Bugatti.

This organization really have no other choice but to give their 40-year-old quarterback as much as possible as soon as possible—especially with said 40-year-old quarterback coming off a torn Achilles tendon.

They’ve already filled in the holes at the tackle spots with Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses and brought in a competent No. 2 receiver in Mike Williams. Now, they take the potent Bowers—who should serve as a substantial upgrade at the tight end position.

Some may argue that an NFL team should build their roster on top of four pillars—a franchise quarterback, a true No. 1 receiver, a big-time pass rusher and a shutdown cornerback. Arizona fills that last one here.

The Cardinals get their pick of the litter at the position in Mitchell, who checks pretty much every box as a corner prospect.

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

Green Bay receives: No. 12, No. 121
Denver receives: No. 25, No. 41, No. 88

After getting boxed out from the top quarterback prospects, the Broncos decide to fall back and pick up some extra capital to rejuvenate their roster. In doing so, they find a willing jumper in the Packers—who must find a left tackle for their budding star under center.

Not only might he be the most pro-ready pass protector in this class, but Fashanu also has one of the highest ceilings amongst his peers. So Green Bay takes the worthwhile leap to secure quarterback Jordan Love’s blindside.

The Raiders can upgrade at a few spots on their offensive line. Luckily for them, Fuaga just might be able to play them all.

But for now, he can start right away at right tackle—a spot vacated by the departure of 2023’s starter Jermaine Eluemunor.

The Daily Advertiser

Don’t be surprised if a 6-foot-5 receiver who ran his 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds gains traction as we inch closer to April 25. Oh, and he also notched 17.3 yards per catch and 17 touchdowns this past season.

The Saints replace one Thomas with another, giving themselves a bit of a different slant at receiver.

Butch Dill-USA TODAY Sports

Indianapolis didn’t end up winning the L’Jarius Sneed sweepstakes. Like their fellow AFC South inhabitants in Jacksonville, they got beat to the punch by Tennessee.

Arnold is a great value at a position of need, even if he’s not the freaky athlete general manager Chris Ballard tends to favor.

Pittsburgh receives: No. 16
Seattle receives: No. 20, No. 84

Death, taxes and the Seattle Seahawks trading back in the first round.

This time, they help the Steelers find their right tackle in Latham. The addition would also allow Broderick Jones to move to his more natural spot on the blindside.

Melina Myers-USA TODAY Sports

Although the jump from No. 8 to No. 17 is a steep one, the Falcons should know that they’ll still be able to land a very good defensive prospect here—especially with all the offense lighting up the board.

Well, the move pays off—as they land the second-best pass rusher in Verse.

Why would the Bengals go with a tackle after signing Trent Brown?

Well, the oft-injured Brown has missed 14 games over the past four seasons. Fautanu is a versatile hog molly who can help from almost anywhere in the trench.

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

Following the retirement of all-time great Aaron Donald, the Rams find a new defensive tackle in Murphy—who is a very similar prospect. While on the shorter side, Murphy has the power, athleticism and get-off to terrorize opposing lines at the NFL level.

Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports

New head coach Mike Macdonald looks to sharpen his defense with a productive pass rusher.

Latu recorded 23.5 sacks at UCLA over the last two seasons.

Ron Johnson-USA TODAY Sports

The Dolphins need to add some beef to their interior defensive line after losing both Christian Wilkins and Raekwon Davis to free agency.

Newton, an absolute wrecking ball who could swing his way into the teens come draft day, is a godsend here.

Ken Ruinard-USA TODAY Sports

Wiggins may have put some size concerns to bed after going from 173 pounds at the combine to 182 at his pro day. Had he stayed at 173, he’d be the lightest cornerback in the NFL.

Nevertheless, the Eagles are able to swoop in on a talented cover man for their struggling secondary.

Arizona adds another potential foundational piece with this twitchy pass rusher.

Robinson showed off his explosiveness at the combine by finishing his 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds. It’s ridiculous because the dude weighs a whole 254 pounds. 

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

The Cowboys could decide to move Tyler Smith from left guard to left tackle after losing the aforementioned Tyron Smith to the Jets. But why take a Pro Bowler out of position?

Instead, they could get their hands on a marvel in Mims. The 6-foot-8, 340-pounder has the agility, athleticism and tools to develop into a damn good blindside protector.

Denver’s trade off the No. 12 pick puts them in a much more palatable position to take a chance on a quarterback.

So, they take it with Nix—whose productive read-and-react style could gel with head coach Sean Payton.

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

Tampa could certainly stand for an upgrade up the middle.

Powers-Johnson, the top center of the class, just so happens to be sitting there at No. 26.

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

The Cardinals get their second Mitchell and their third pillar of the round.

Adonai comes in as one of the most well-rounded pass catchers of this draft.

The Courier-Journal

Buffalo has parted ways with a huge chunk of their secondary this offseason.

DeJean, who can line up as a cornerback or a safety, is much too tempting to pass up here.

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

Detroit may need more pass-rushing help outside of Marcus Davenport to come out of the NFC.

They add the eye-opening Robinson, who feels like a Dan Campbell kind of guy.

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

Baltimore finds their Morgan Moses replacement in Guyton.

Jaylynn Nash-USA TODAY Sports

While they may have preferred the fella Baltimore just plucked away, San Francisco gets a potential starting right tackle in Barton.

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images

Between needing a replacement for Sneed and pairing head coach Andy Reid with a player named Kool-Aid, this pick is just too perfect to pass up.

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

The Panthers have been trying to nail down a big-bodied receiver with a wide catch radius in free agency. But didn’t land Mike Williams and haven’t reeled in Michael Gallup.

So if all else fails, just draft this playmaking machine.
