NFL Mock Draft: Where Will the Top Prospects Go?

This year's NFL draft is fascinating because if certain teams don’t pick certain players, the whole draft will be shaken up. This draft is represented by elite quarterbacks. The Bears have the first pick this year, but will they trade it like last year? Here are my NFL draft picks for the first ten picks. Note: No trades in this mock draft.

1. Chicago Bears - Caleb Williams, QB (USC). Williams would be a great fit for the Bears because of his dual-threat ability. Fields has been a great runner but is one of the worst-throwing QBs in the league. Williams flashes Fields’ upside as a runner and has a strong arm and great accuracy.

2. Washington Commanders - Jayden Daniels, QB (LSU). In most other mock drafts, Drake Maye is the pick here. I like the upside of Daniels more than Maye, and he might be better currently, too. Daniels is one of the best-running QBs in a long time. He is also a great throwing QB, one of the best in college football. Daniels had 40 passing touchdowns and 10 (!!) rushing touchdowns.

3. New England Patriots - Drake Maye, QB (North Carolina). This team is in a rebuilding phase, and Drake Maye is perfect for it. Maye is a low-risk, high-reward quarterback. Maye is a good runner, but not as good as Daniels or Williams. He is a better thrower (when he doesn’t make poor decisions) than Daniels and is close to Williams.

4. Arizona Cardinals - Marvin Harrison Jr, WR (Ohio State). Harrison fills the biggest need for the Cardinals: Wide Receivers. He is the son of Marvin Harrison (NFL Legend), but he proves time and time again that he could be better than his dad. He is one of the best wide-receiving prospects in a very long time. Harrison is a very low-risk, very high reward pick.

5. Los Angeles Chargers - Brock Bowers, TE (Georgia). Bowers is a generational TE prospect. This is a bit high for Bowers, but I don’t see any other position in desperate need. Bowers is one of the best TE prospects ever and is NFL-ready. Bowers will come into the league and already be a competent/good TE.

6. New York Giants - Malik Nabers, WR (LSU). Nabers could be one of the best wide receivers in the league in a couple of years. Nabers is always open with his speed and route-running threats in college football and will be the same in the NFL.

7. Tennessee Titans - Joe Alt, OT (Notre Dame). Alt has a monster frame. At 6’8”, Alt has excellent balance and body control. He is a great run blocker and pass blocker. Alt would give Derrick Henry some help and give the Titans' struggling offensive line some much-needed help.

8. Atlanta Falcons - Dallas Turner, OLB (Alabama). Turner can completely transform this weak Falcons pass rush. The Falcons have the worst pass rush win rate in the league, at 30.9%. Turner is very athletic and could be a power rusher or a finesse rusher. I see a bit of Micah Parsons in Turner, which would help the Falcons a lot.

9. Chicago Bears - Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT (Penn State). Fashanu has incredible footwork as a blocker. The Bears currently don’t have much of a run game, so Fashanu would help. Fashanu has only allowed one sack in 21 starts for the Nittany Lions.

10. New York Jets - Rome Odunze, WR (Washington). I considered swapping Odunze and Malik Nabers because Odunze has such good route running. Odunze would help this deteriorating wide receiver's core with him always being open. Aaron Rodgers and Odunze would be a perfect fit together.

Bonus 11. Minnesota Vikings - Terrion Arnold, CB (Alabama). I believe Arnold has a chance to be one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Arnold has safety strength in the run game and great ball skills. The Vikings could use a cornerback, and I think Terrion Arnold is the best cornerback in this draft.
