Speaking in absolutes the week of the NFL Draft (or really any time you’re discussing something as unpredictable as it) is foolish. I’ve been trying to tell everyone that recently. Will Grier as QB1, Baker Mayfield as a reach, and Corey Davis as a 10-year stud were all takes that have proved to be poorly articulated once the dust settled. Anyone who knows me knows that I love the chaos of the NFL Draft. The unpredictability is what draws me to covering so much of it. Those pe

Well it’s been a while. I’ve quietly been writing mocks and vocally hating them. This has been a difficult year to figure out what is going to happen – especially after the first two picks. But after deliberation and a heightened level of research, this is what I came up with. Let’s do it. 1. Joe Burrow, QB, LSU I still think that this pick could be traded for the right haul, but if the Bengals stay here, they have to select Joe Burrow. He may not be happy about it, but the B

Scenario: you’ve decided to be smart and responsible and take part in appropriate social distancing. You’re bored. You have caught up on all of Ozark, and you have five days to kill before season three comes out. You decide to take time to continue reading this mock draft with an open mind. Okay, maybe you don’t like Ozark (we need to have a discussion if you don’t, but hey). Maybe you’re not social distancing (we need to have a much more serious discussion here). But you sho

Ah, the post-Combine hangover. The build-up to the event is so drastic and the testing just truly does not matter very much, but I sat and watched hours and hours of guys running and jumping anyway. And now I can’t wait for Pro Days. I have been on a bit of a hiatus lately – my mocks hadn’t changed much and I didn’t feel as though I was doing readers justice by putting out the same mock over and over. You’ll probably notice that I jumped from 2.5 straight to 3.5. That is beca

A day late, but not a dollar short. My board has been changing drastically recently. I think the NFL Draft is going to get pretty funky, and for that reason, I’ve gotten bold and risky with this mock draft. Let’s get weird. First Round 1. Joe Burrow, QB, LSU Come on. 2. Chase Young, EDGE, OSU Still not convinced this is the pick, but because I’m going off the rails with the rest of this mock, I figured I’d wait until pick number three to have all of you yelling at me. Chase Y

Is Joe Burrow still the 1.01? Is Chase Young a lock at pick number 2? Time to figure that out and more. If you missed my Mock Draft 1.0, you can find it here. And if you haven’t yet heard The Cut’s 1.0, check it out here. Oh! And with each new mock I put out, I’m going to add a round. So enjoy my second round here, as well. Let’s just dive right in. First Round 1. Joe Burrow, QB, LSU No surprises here. Joe Burrow is a lock at one. I think it’s the most sure I’ve been in quite
