The first round of the NFL draft is Thursday night and we will finally see how things play out.
We have seen scores of mock drafts, whether they have been from experts, other writers or simulations on this site.
I have my one full first-round mock draft I have done every year since 2015.
Cohost Seth Cox and I reveal our mock draft on the podcast on the week of the draft. This year’s mock draft show is available to listen to.
If you don’t want to listen to the whole show, my picks are below. However, to get my explanations and Seth’s picks, you have to listen to the show.
The Arizona Cardinals trade back and I predicted one other trade in the first round as well.
