 This off-season has been incredible, a record setting combine followed up by one of the best free agencies in recent years. The free agent moves have been so big that mock drafts are going to start looking very different. It’s funny, leading up to free agency there were some consensus picks. Now, it feels a bit more like the wild west. Things have opened up and there will be a lot more variance in mocks going forward until they settle back down. And… let’s not forget that some chips still need to fall: Lamar or DHop anyone? I have a hard time believing we get through to the draft with no Lamar news. I can’t see him just playing on the tag and everything being okay, maybe a long term deal gets done in Baltimore at the end of this but something has to happen.

There are a lot of risers from the event and very little guys did anything to hurt their stock, outside of the Jalen Carter situation of course. That said, making a semi accurate mock draft in early March is quite the task this year.  Fairly similar to last year, a lot of what we’ll see in the draft is riding on Free Agency. Of course, that’s mainly because of Quarterback but as we know, QB dictates the entire draft. For this exercise, we know Carr to NOLA but I’m going to guess Jackson and Daniel Jones return to their respective teams while Rodgers he...
