Our @TheJohnDillon takes a look at all of the latest first-round mock drafts for the #Chiefs:
With two first-round picks in their back pocket, the Kansas City Chiefs enter April with boundless potential to improve their roster on both sides of the ball. Their 12 total picks in the 2022 NFL draft are tied for the most of any team in the league, matched only by the ever-rebuilding Jacksonville Jaguars. Whether they’ll use all of their picks on young prospects or decide to move the assets around to improve their position is unknown, but the Chiefs seem primed to make a splash with back-to-back picks at the end of the first round.
Here are the players experts are predicting Kansas City to take with picks 29 and 30:

A post-combine mock draft menagerie of epic proportions has the Kansas City Chiefs selecting several prospects with a ton of potential to make big contributions in their rookie year.

Only one thing is sure: the Chiefs have a ton of options all over the board, and whoever they select will have the chance to be an impact player on a championship-caliber roster as a rookie. Here are the prospects that those in the know are predicting that Kansas City will take with the 30th overall pick.
Rounding up what 40 different mock drafts are predicting Raiders will do at the 22nd pick
We’re now a week removed from the Super Bowl which means mock draft season is kicking into high gear. Thusly it’s time to round up what the mock drafters have been picking for the Raiders.
For this roundup, we went back a month to get a good consensus starting when the Raiders were ousted from the playoffs, thus locking in their draft position at 22 overall. We start with this 40-mock grouping.
Most picked players: Jameson Williams (9), Chris Olave (7), Andrew Boothe Jr (4), Treylon Burks (4), Jordan Davis (3), Garrett Wilson (3), Nakobe Dean (2), Jahan Dotson (2), David Ojabo (2)
The Senior Bowl is over with, which means the scouting combine is the next big mile marker of the offseason followed by the various college pro days around the country.
But that’s not going to stop us from digging to round up all of the different projections from other sites. Plenty of sites have overlapping picks but we tried to keep from being as redundant as possible.
With a focus mainly on the second-round picks (No. 47 overall), here is our first mock draft roundup of the offseason for the Colts:
Rounding up some recent mock draft picks for the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2022 NFL draft.
The 2022 NFL draft is 143 days away and it’s Mock Draft Monday. This means it’s the perfect time for the first edition of this year’s Green Bay Packers mock draft roundup.
The 2021 NFL draft is just days away as the Indianapolis Colts will be looking to make some moves beginning Thursday night with the No. 21 overall pick.
With the draft slated to begin in just a few days, everyone is getting their predictions in—our final mock will come later in the week. But we’ve gone over the picks each week over the last month, and there’s a trend taking place.
Most mocks have the Colts trading back or taking an offensive tackle or edge rusher with the No. 21 overall pick. If you want to take a peek at the older versions, you can find them below:
The Indianapolis Colts are just over one week away from the 2021 NFL draft, and the mock drafts are emerging as analysts try to figure out what each team will do during the offseason’s biggest event.
We’ve been going through the mock drafts around the industry to see which prospects the Colts are being projected to pick. Check out our other ones on April 12 and April 5 to see how they’ve changed over the weeks.
Here’s an updated look on the roundup just a week and a half out from the draft:
We are just over two weeks away from the start of the 2021 NFL draft, which is currently scheduled for April 29. What the Indianapolis Colts will do remains a mystery so we’ll look at some mock drafts to see what the analysts think.
The needs for the Colts are pretty clear after trading for quarterback Carson Wentz. Most would guess the Colts are going to add an offensive tackle to replace Anthony Castonzo or grab an edge rusher to help add some talent to a thin group. You can take a look at the mock draft roundup for April 5 to see how some of the selections changed.
We are officially in draft month as the 2021 NFL draft is just weeks away, and the Indianapolis Colts are hard tat work finalizing their big board before the biggest event of the offseason.
As that time comes around, analysts across the industry will be taking a crack at predicting each team’s pick in the first round. It’s a tough job but one that is necessary and even fun at times when starting a conversation.
With just a few weeks until the draft, here’s a look at some of the prominent selections for the Colts in mock drafts around the industry:
The vast majority of final mock drafts from national analysts have the Packers taking a wide receiver at No. 30 overall in the first round.
We’re finally here: Thursday, April 23 – the official start of the 2020 NFL Draft and the unofficial end to mock draft season.
The first round kicks off Thursday night at 7 p.m. CT. Once the Cincinnati Bengals come on the clock, all the mock drafts will disappear into obscurity.
Before then, here’s a roundup of all the Packers’ first-round picks in final versions of mock drafts (this list will be updated throughout the day Thursday):
From Renner: “Brian Gutekunst makes a play to move up for the third consecutive draft. This time it’s for that all-important explosiveness that they really don’t have in their receiving corps at the moment.”
From Reid: “Brian Gutekunst is known to stick to his philosophies and he continues to address the biggest need: linebacker. Kenneth Murray immediately makes the team better and is known as the engine of every operation that he’s been a part of.”
From Sikkema: “All of that to say: This is Aaron Rodgers’ team, and he’s needed more help than he has had for a while now. I’m calling wide receiver here.”
From Schrager: “I had an AFC coach tell me Murray — who became a captain in his sophomore year at OU — was the best combine interview he’d been a part of in years. A leader in every sense of the word, Murray’s also an incredibly gifted athlete and tackler. Perfect addition for the Mike Pettine-coached Packers D.”
From Pauline: “Mims was a consistent threat for the Baylor offense and had an exceptional week of practices at the Senior Bowl then followed it up with a great combine workout. He’s a big-bodied receiver on the rise who can be an effective third-down or red-zone target and possesses all the skills necessary to develop into a third wideout.”
From Kelly: “The Packers need to add some playmaking talent to their receiving corps and are happy to see Jefferson slip to this spot. The LSU superstar brings route-running chops to the middle of the field for Green Bay, with a fearless demeanor that gives him the ability to win above the rim on contested pass situations.”
From Solak: “Brandon Aiyuk has long been rumored a first-round selection. Teams believe they can take his unique blend of wingspan and speed and turn it into a three-level threat. General manager Brian Gutekunst will be pleased with Aiyuk’s size and electric yards-after-catch ability as the Packers look to add receivers with more juice to Aaron Rodgers’ late-career push.”
From Collinsworth: “The Packers just don’t threaten the middle of the field enough, but at 6-foot-3, Jefferson plays almost a WR/TE slot role, much like Jimmy Graham. He has plenty of size to run those seams that so many teams love, but he also has the quickness and route-running savvy to work in the slot. He actually reminds me of Keenan Allen — he’s just so patient setting up inside routes and creating easy throwing lanes for quarterbacks.”
From Breer: “The Packers need to get faster and while Raegor didn’t run as fast as many expected in Indy, he’s a legitimate game-breaker who should transition smoothly to the NFL. Matt LaFleur will be appreciative of this one, given his experience around similarly speedy receivers like Gabriel and Sammy Watkins. And this will be of nice benefit to Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams too.”
From Davis: “Excellent with the ball in his hands (18.3 yards per catch last year for the Sun Devils), he might be the optimal player to supplement QB Aaron Rodgers’ top target, Davante Adams, particularly when the three-time Pro Bowler is doubled.”
From King: “Professional receiver. Most have him in the second round. But the Packers don’t pick again till 62, and they see a solid but unspectacular disciplined route-runner and competitive 50-50-ball player.”
From Middlehurst-Schwartz: “Primarily a deep threat at this point, Reagor can add a degree of explosiveness to Green Bay’s aerial attack, particularly if he diversifies his skill set.”
From Davis: “Explosive and tough, Aiyuk would be a great addition to Aaron Rodgers’ arsenal. But what if the Packers decide to plan for the future and go QB here? Could Green Bay make a bold move for Jalen Hurts?”
From Biggs: “The Packers were slow on the outside last season, and Aaron Rodgers needs more than just Davante Adams. Mims has a great combination of size (6-3, 207), speed (4.38) and production and would be able to aid Rodgers quickly.”
From Kadar: “Green Bay’s wide receivers after Davante Adams are suspect. Aiyuk is a versatile receiver who could be a big-play weapon for the Packers.”
From Ledyard: “This is the perfect landing spot for Aiyuk, as his semi-raw routes and release game will get plenty of room to go in an offense where he isn’t the No. 1 option and where he’ll be allowed to play heavily in the slot. I think the Packers would be wise to consider what K.J. Hamler’s speed could do for their offense as well, maybe even in a trade down scenario.”
From Kelly: “Green Bay’s wide receiver depth chart is Davante Adams and a few question marks, making the position one of need. Laviska Shenault fits their size requirements while offering more upside than all of their other complementary options.”
From Hanson: “In terms of team needs, this pick could certainly be a wide receiver—and that’s something that I’ve slotted to the Packers in several previous iterations of my mock. Given the depth at receiver, however, it might be more realistic to target one on Day 2 and use this pick to reinforce the trenches with the ultra-athletic left tackle from Boise State.”
