This mock draft kicks off with the Carolina Panthers taking Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud, followed by the Houston Texans drafting former Alabama star quarterback Bryce Young. Four quarterbacks ended up in the top six of the draft with Will Levis packing his bags en route to Indianapolis and Anthony Richardson landing in the perfect situation for him — backing up Jared Goff in Detroit and getting to play with a talented supporting cast. Even with the issues that Jalen Carter has had this offseason, it’s hard to see him really taking a steep fall once the draft kicks off. Carter is widely viewed as the most talented player in this class and that’s going to win out for him at the end of the day. In this mock, Carter joins an experienced staff in Seattle that might be able to help him get his career off to solid start after a shaky draft season. Seven offensive linemen went in the first round of the draft, starting with the Chicago Bears taking Northwestern offensive lineman Peter Skoronski to shore up their front five for Justin Fields. Tennessee offensive tackle Darnell Wright gets a big boost following his performance at the combine, winding up just outside of the top 10 and staying in the state with the Titans. The New York Jets (Paris Johnson), Pittsburgh Steelers (Anton Harrison), Los Angeles Chargers (Broderick Jones) and Cincinnati Bengals (Dawand Jones) all added talent to the edges of their offensive line in this very official mock draft.
