Who would be dumb enough to execute a mock draft in the thick of free agency? Clearly, the two of us. Free agency somehow isn’t enough for our sports-obsessed brains so we decided to add an early mock draft on top of that.
Go easy on us. This is our first mock of the offseason and as such, we did not include trades. This is just a straightforward thought exercise of our best guesses as to what will happen in the first round of the NFL Draft on April 25.

How Caleb Williams’ skills will translate to the NFL
2. Washington Commanders (Dave Helman): QB, Drake Maye, UNC

The Commanders spent the first day of free agency building up their roster, and Washington may be a favorable landing spot for Maye.
3. New England Patriots (Carmen): QB Jayden Daniels, LSU
I know the Pats have Jacoby Brissett now, but he’s not their long-term solution. They have the third overall pick and aren’t going to pass up an opportunity…
