Pro Football Focus

A mock draft with a twist: This fantasy football mock draft is a fun thought exercise that only allows teams to pick quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers or tight ends with a focus on team need and team fit. The Arizona Cardinals land Jaxon Smith-Njigba: The Cardinals are highly likely to draft a defender or trade back in real life, but in this scenario, they land an ideal replacement for DeAndre Hopkins. The Green Bay Packers select Sam LaPorta: A recent three-round mock had the Packers taking LaPorta in the third round, but with limited options, he lands in the middle of the first. While the vast majority of these players won’t get picked this high, it’s always possible a team trades back or finds one of these players in a later round due to the strong match.
