"It's still January, we're a ways out from the combine, partway through the Senior Bowl, and we're still sorting plenty out. Which means in this mock draft, I can get as weird as I want to as I try to lay out how the draft may go in April. Hell, we still don't technically have the entire draft order solidified yet (not just the Super Bowl, but also the handing out of compensatory picks in March as well)."
"and maybe a little less of a lean on team needs to start. High-end skill position players are tough to sort out, as there is some conventional wisdom on waiting a bit and taking more of a team need, but as with any of the young men that will walk across the stage in April: it just takes one team to like 'em."
The projection places Fernando Mendoza, quarterback from Indiana, at the top pick and includes a mix of quarterbacks, wide receivers, edge defenders, and linebackers across the first 25 selections. Multiple Ohio State defenders and several edge rushers appear among early selections, signaling a strong emphasis on front-seven talent. The board also features several high-end skill players and offensive linemen sprinkled through the top 25. No trades are included in this projection, and an additional quarterback selection is expected later due to a thin quarterback class and the likelihood teams will reach for signal-callers.
