The Serby Mock 4.0 shakes things up with three trades, including one by the Jets.<\/p>\n
John Harbaugh\u2019s first Giants draft pick is a player he can see fitted for a gold jacket, while Jets GM Darren Mougey leaves the first round with an elite pass rusher and a big target for Geno Smith.<\/p>\n
Will Ty Simpson make it in the first round? You\u2019ll have to read the entire mock to find out.<\/p>\n
1. Raiders<\/p>\n
QB Fernando Mendoza, Indiana<\/p>\n
Kirk Cousins can mentor the apple of Tom Brady\u2019s eye until he\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n
2. Jets<\/p>\n
Edge David Bailey, Texas Tech<\/p>\n
Will McDonald can\u2019t chase Josh Allen and Drake Maye by himself, so the draft\u2019s best pass rusher enables Aaron Glenn to feel super about his play calling superpower.<\/p>\n

3. Cardinals<\/p>\n
Edge Arvell Reese, Ohio State<\/p>\n
Trader Monti Ossenfort either takes \u201cbest available player,\u201d with the Micah Parsons ceiling, or entertains an offer he cannot refuse and trades down.<\/p>\n
4. Titans<\/p>\n
RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame<\/p>\n
A nuclear dual-threat weapon who will scare defenses and make life easier on Cam Ward. Bijan-esque.<\/p>\n
5. Giants<\/p>\n
S Caleb Downs, Ohio State<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll be the quarterback of the defense for Harbaugh for the next decade, and a future captain and culture-setter.<\/p>\n
6. Chiefs (from Browns)<\/p>\n

WR Carnell Tate, Ohio State<\/p>\n
Patrick Mahomes should be pounding the table for a weapon who changes the complexion of the offense and also adds insurance in case Rashee Rice finds trouble again.<\/p>\n
7. Commanders<\/p>\n
LB Sonny Styles, Ohio State<\/p>\n
Daniel Jeremiah refers to this 6-foot-5, 244-pound freak as a condor who will fill the giant void left by the departure of Bobby Wagner.<\/p>\n
8. Saints<\/p>\n
CB Mansoor Delane, LSU<\/p>\n
A lockdown corner to replace Alontae Taylor for defensive coordinator Brandon Staley\u2019s \u201cstar\u201d position.<\/p>\n
9. Browns (from Chiefs)<\/p>\n
OL Spencer Fano, Utah<\/p>\n
Coach Todd Monken completes the rebuilding of his O-line with a versatile blocker who can line up wherever he is needed, and immediately as GM Andrew Berry adds a third-rounder. That 7.34 three-cone, for crying out loud!<\/p>\n
10. Bengals<\/p>\n
DE Rueben Bain Jr., Miami (Fla.)<\/p>\n
Another swing for that elusive double-digit sacker whose relentlessness compensates for those short arms now that Trey Hendrickson is in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

11. Dolphins<\/p>\n
OT Francis Mauigoa, Miami (Fla):<\/p>\n
A 6-5\u2009\u00b9\/\u2082, 330-pound bookend for Patrick Paul to protect quarterback Malik Willis. Would be in line to replace RT Austin Jackson or move inside as well.<\/p>\n
12. Cowboys<\/p>\n
DE Keldrick Faulk, Auburn<\/p>\n
The Jones Boys turn to a 6-6, 276-pounder for more pass rush than they got from former first-rounder Taco Charlton.<\/p>\n
13. Rams<\/p>\n
WR Makai Lemon, USC<\/p>\n
Sean McVay gets a feisty new toy, who has drawn Amon-Ra St. Brown comparisons, for Matthew Stafford\u2019s Super Bowl quest. And remember, Puka Nakua has encountered some issues and Davante Adams is 34.<\/p>\n
14. Ravens<\/p>\n
WR Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State<\/p>\n
Lamar Jackson can use a 6-2 contested-catch demon who would complement Zay Flowers, and he\u2019ll mitigate the loss of Isaiah Likely \u2026 as long as he can stay on the field.<\/p>\n
15. Buccaneers<\/p>\n
G Olaivavega Ioane, Penn State<\/p>\n
A nasty plug-and-play mauler to open holes for Bucky Irving and keep Baker Mayfield comfortable.<\/p>\n

17. Lions<\/p>\n

18. Vikings<\/p>\n
TE Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon<\/p>\n
T.J. Hockenson will be a 2027 free agent, so why not a field-stretcher with 4.39 speed to take the heat off Justin Jefferson and aid new QB Kyler Murray?<\/p>\n
19. Panthers<\/p>\n
S Dillon Thieneman, Oregon<\/p>\n
A versatile, do-it-all partner for Tre\u2019Von Moehrig.<\/p>\n
20. Cowboys<\/p>\n
CB Colton Hood, Tennessee<\/p>\n
A fearless press man defender with 4.4 speed to pair with Daron Bland to help fix an historically bad secondary and defense for new coordinator Christian Parker.<\/p>\n
21. Steelers<\/p>\n
WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M<\/p>\n
An explosive separator who would be the third amigo for Aaron Rodgers \u2014 Aaron, you\u2019re still returning, right? \u2014 alongside DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.<\/p>\n
22. Chargers<\/p>\n
DE Akheem Mesidor, Miami (Fla.)<\/p>\n
Khalil Mack is 35 and on a one-year deal and Odafe Oweh is a Commander, so why the fuss over a high-motor predator who is just 25?<\/p>\n
23. Jets (from Eagles)<\/p>\n
WR Denzel Boston, Washington<\/p>\n
Darren Mougey picks up the pick (68) Joe Douglas forked over for Haason Reddick for this 6-4, 210-pound red zone threat and complement for Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell.<\/p>\n

24. Browns<\/p>\n
WR Oman Cooper Jr., Indiana<\/p>\n
A pleasant surprise for Monken that Darren Mougey passed on Mendoza\u2019s clutch go-to guy. Help for DeShaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders.<\/p>\n
25. Bears<\/p>\n
DE T.J. Parker, Clemson<\/p>\n
A 6-4, 263-pound bookend for Montez Sweat to juice the pass rush (35 sacks).<\/p>\n
26. Bills<\/p>\n
Edge Malachi Lawrence, UCF<\/p>\n
An upside 6-4\u2009\u00b9\/\u2082, 253-pound, long-armed bookend with for Greg Rousseau for new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard\u2019s 3-4 with A.J. Espenesa on the street.<\/p>\n
27. 49ers<\/p>\n
OT Max Iheanachor, Arizona State<\/p>\n
Best available 6-6, 330-pound Nigerian with tantalizing upside tools to possibly develop into Trent Williams\u2019 heir apparent.<\/p>\n
28. Texans<\/p>\n
OT Blake Miller, Clemson<\/p>\n
A dependable 6-7, 317-pound Ironman who missed exactly one practice can be the RT of the future.<\/p>\n
29. Chiefs<\/p>\n
CB Jermod McCoy, Tennessee<\/p>\n
Steve Spagnuolo needs replacements for Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, and this elite stud would have been the first corner off the board if he hadn\u2019t missed 2025 with a torn ACL.<\/p>\n
