As we all know, a lot can change over the coming days, so keep following DrRoto.com’s NFL Draft coverage as we try to predict the trades that will happen and the selections that will be made. For the purpose of this mock draft, we have not made any projected trades. Let us know if you agree or disagree with your team’s choice!
3. New York Giants—QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Sanders to Nabers keeps the fan base happy and might keep Brian Daboll’s job too.
8. Carolina Panthers—WR Tet McMillan, Arizona
Not sure Dave Canales can pass up a true WR1.
9. New Orleans Saints—QB Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss

I am buying the hype on Dart and think Kellen Moore wants to start his tenure with the Saints with his handpicked guy.
10. Chicago Bears—OT Armond Membou, Missouri

San Francisco’s OL hasn’t been as sharp as in years’ past. Campbell could start early on.

Hampton is a freak who can run, catch, and be a true three-down running back.
15. Atlanta Falcons—LB Jihaad Campbell
Atlanta is ecstatic that Campbell makes it to them at 15.
16. Arizona Cardinals—OT Kelvin Banks, Texas

Seattle continues to reshape its offense with one of the best tight ends in recent years.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers—DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon
Tampa wants to run the ball and more importantly stop the run. Harmon will help with that immediately.
23. Green Bay Packers—Edge Mykel Williams, Georgia

With all the great passing attacks in their division, Minnesota takes a player who could start relatively quickly.
26. Los Angeles Rams—WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
