I usually hate doing mock drafts because they're always wrong due to the fact the trades in the first round amass into a giant, unpredictable shit show.
With that said, I'm bored and miss sports a lot rn so here is the Inaugural: Mock Draft that nobody asked for by Liam Curran

1st Cincinnati Bengals: QB Joe Burrow
This is a no brainer the guy just had the best season by a QB in college football history. Also, from certain angles he looks like a taller, much more flattering version of me so that's a plus I guess

2nd Washington Redskins: DE Chase Young
I don't always trust PFF because of their arbitrary grading system that is a bunch of math that is too complicated for me to understand but Chase Young broke their grading scale, in a year where he miss 2 games from a bogus suspension

3rd TRADE LA Chargers: QB Tua Tagovailoa
Tua dislocated his hip, risking avascular necrosis; the same injury that ended Bo Jackson's career. Basically, if you don't treat the hip, it gets rly bad. TUA WAS AIRLIFTED TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL WHEN IT HAPPENED. he'll be fine

4th New York Giants: LB Isaiah Simmons
A lot of people think NYG will take a tackle, in my opinion, their defense was just as bad as their line last year. Simmons is a freak athlete and the best player available. His versatility can turn around the defense quickly.

5th Miami Dolphins: OT Jedrick Wills:
Wills is the best tackle in this class, concurrently, the dolphins have 5 picks in the top 70. So while they need a quarterback they can also afford to run it back with Fitz and sit on a QB who may need more time before starting.

6th TRADE Detroit Lions: CB Jeff Okuduh
By executing this trade, the Lions are able to get the best Corner in the draft while acquiring more picks. Matt Stafford is a damn good quarterback and if Detroit plays their cards right in this draft they'll have a competitive roster.

7th Carolina Panthers: DT Derrick Brown
After seeing Chris Jones destroy everything in this path for a Chiefs Super Bowl victory, it's easy to understand why interior pressure is important. Brown is a fucking monster and the Panthers would be lucky to have him fall in their lap.

8th Arizona Cardinals: OT Tristan Wirfs
Get you a +300 pounder who can jump out of a pool and start in the NFL at any offensive line position. The Cards need to protect Kyler and Wirfs if the best pick here due to his consistency and versatility.

9th Jacksonville Jaguars: WR CeeDee Lamb
Jags are most likely tanking this year but it is still valuable to figure out whether or not Minshew is the real deal. You need to get him weapons and Lamb is the best WR in this draft but more importantly he fits well alongside DJ Chark.

10th Cleveland Browns: OT Andrew Thomas
There's a huge drop-off at the Tackle position outside of the top 4 so I can't imagine CLE trades out of this pick or takes a defensive player. Thomas' career at Georgia flew under the radar which is a great quality for a tackle to have

11th New York Jets: OT Mekhi Becton
Absolute. Unit. Becton is 6'7" 368 lbs and ran a 5.10 40 yard dash at the combine. If you need a good quarantine YouTube rabbit hole look up this dude's highlights they're really entertaining.

12th Las Vegas Raiders: WR Henry Ruggs
Ruggs isn't just a speed guy, with that said, speed guys get drafted early. Ruggs would give the Raiders the missing piece of their offense Antonio Brown was supposed to fill before he went crazy.

13th TRADE Miami Dolphins: QB Justin Herbert
Moving up from 18th *shouldn't* cost Miami too much, they can leap frog the Buccaneers to draft Herbert; giving them a future QB who can develop behind Fitz for a year.

14th Tampa Bay Buccaneers: RB D'Andre Swift
People think Tampa has to draft a tackle to help their 43 year old QB, when in reality, the best way to help Brady is to give him a viable pass catcher out of the backfield to add more diversity to an offense that already has weapons.

15th Denver Broncos: WR Jerry Jeudy
Courtland Sutton made his first Pro Bowl this season but besides him the WR corp is unimpressive. Sutton is Batman but he needs a Robbin, if Denver gets Jeudy, they'll have two Batmans

16th Atlanta Falcons: DT Javon Kinlaw
A scary looking guy with a badass name. Atlanta needs a disruptive presence in the middle of their defense if they want to compete with Drew Brees and Tom Brady four times a year.

17th Dallas Cowboys: CB CJ Henderson
The Cowboys have a pretty great roster but their cap space looks pretty bleak for the foreseeable future, Henderson is more of a low ceiling/high floor kind of guy who should make an immediate impact for a team who's window is closing

18th TRADE San Francisco 49ers: WR Justin Jefferson
In most NFL systems Jefferson wouldn't be a no. 1 WR but on the 49ers he could absolutely be "the guy". Shannahan will find ways to move him around and get him space to run after the catch.

19th Las Vegas Raiders: CB Kristian Fulton
The Raiders desperately need a corner but I have no idea if Fulton is the right one for Vegas. I could easily see Diggs, Terrell, Glandey, or Johnson going in this spot as the level of talent is very close.

20th Jacksonville Jaguars: DE K'Lavon Chaisson
Chaisson is a speed rusher with long arms which historically is a great combination if the goal is to sack the QB. With Yannick one foot out the door this would be a steal at 20 for the Jags.

21st Philadelphia Eagles: WR Denzel Mims
Mims basically won the offseason, he showed out at the senior bowl and the combine. In my opinion there is a pretty big drop off at receiver after the top 5 WRs, PHI can get a good safety or linebacker in the 2nd round.

22nd Minnesota Vikings: OT Josh Jones
Kirk Cousins was buried alive by the 49ers in the divisional round exposing some underlying issues on their offensive line. Jones is likely the last blue chip tackle in this class and he should be fantastic for the Viking in the running game

23rd New England Patriots: LB Kenneth Murray
NE let Kyle Van Noy leave in free agency, meaning they'll get a compensation pick for him and then they can use their late 1st rounder to draft the replacement. Murray reminds me a lot of Van Noy in his pass rushing ability.

24th New Orleans Saints: LB Patrick Queen
The Saints have a loaded roster and a 41 year old quarterback, they need to go all in on this season and Patrick Queen is perhaps the best remaining player on the board.

25th Minnesota Vikings: CB Trevon Diggs
It's too perfect, the Viking need a corner and they always draft a corner in the 1st round anyways. This particular corner happens to be Stefon Digg's brother, a player the Viking just traded, it would be too funny to pass up.

26th Miami Dolphins: S Xavier McKinney
McKinney is oddly a combination of Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor who happens to be smaller than both of them. His abilities to break on routes and deliver the hit stick makes me think he's gonna fit right in with the Dolphins secondary

27th Seattle Seahawks: CB Jaylon Johnson
Seattle doesn't need a bunch of offensive lineman like their fans think they need to they just need to pass the ball more. The Seahawks defense has fallen from grace and it's time they get a big physical corner that can bring LOB back

28th Baltimore Ravens: C Cesar Ruiz
This Interior offensive line class is thin from everything I've read (did you think I watched Int. o-line tape?). From what I've seen of Ruiz he should a day 1 starter at guard since future HOFer Marshall Yanda retired.

29th Tennessee Titans: CB Jeff Gladney
When you're in the position the Titans are in it's best to double down on your strengths. Gladney should be a great Corner for Vrable to develop into a full fledged starter in a year or two.

30th Green Bay Packers: WR Brandon Aiyuk
It's a receiver class. Aiyuk may lack the big possession-receiver-type size the Packers desperately need but what he lacks in size he makes up for with his speed, elusiveness, and hops. I could see M. Pittman Jr going here as well

31st TRADE Indianapolis Colts: QB Jalen Hurts
If a QB is drafted in the 1st round the team will have a 5th year option to keep him at a low price so I think the Colts do this instead of taking him at 34th.

32nd Kansas City Chiefs: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
RB Damien Williams (the guy who should've won the Super Bowl MVP) is entering the final year of his contract and I think KC won't want to pay a RB big money with Mahomes/Jones being up for MASSIVE extensions this year
