The With the First Pick RV is back in the garage after a quick Pro Day Tour last week. Rick Spielman and I were in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to see Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr., and we followed that up with a trip to Chapel Hill, North Carolina to see Drake Maye. They were all impressive — check out our recaps for LSU and UNC — and all end up in the first round of our mock draft below.
Five quarterbacks also made it into this mock draft; while Maye was throwing at his Pro Day, 3,000 miles to the northwest, Michael Penix Jr. was putting on a show for evaluators, too. And while I know he’s somewhat more divisive than Maye for some, I still think he’s a first-round talent.
Meanwhile, the actual NFL Draft is just over three weeks away. For now, keep reading to see how all 32 picks unfold in mock draft 9.0.
For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on “With the First Pick” — our year-round NFL Draft podcast with NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson and former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman. You can find “With the First Pick” wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, etc. Listen below!
