We are less than 10 days away from the NFL Draft, which means it is time for my next-to-last mock draft of the year!

Between Christmas and late April, I have five mock drafts. For mock 4.0, we will be going three rounds long, and I will get straight to the picks with no analysis. Trades are projected where deemed necessary.

For clarification purposes, this mock draft is not predicated on what I want to happen, nor is it based on what I would do if I was the GM for each team. It is solely about projection. As the process unfolds, many of these picks will change from picks I think make sense to actual predictions that are based on rumors I am hearing within NFL circles.

With all the formalities out of the way, let’s dive in to mock 4.0!
