By now, you’ve likely heard about how this year’s NFL Draft is one of the hardest to project.
Between the uncertainty around the quarterback position and the number of players who could find themselves in the first round of the NFL Draft, there is no way to fully project the top 10 of the draft, let alone all 31 first-round picks.
As I sat down to write my final mock draft of the cycle, I found it difficult to get past the Houston Texans at No. 2 overall. The new coaching staff can take plenty of different paths, including passing up on a quarterback, and they’ll all affect the rest of the first round.
As a result, this mock draft might be ruined early on. However, that’s the challenge of trying to predict all 31 picks.
