However, there’s still time for one last mock.

I went for upside on this one, but I think you’ll like it. Give it a read and let me know what you think in the comments. As a reminder, I don’t draft the same player twice in my mock, so, if you can’t find your draft crush, he might be in another one, which you can find here: 1.

0 | 2. 0 | 3. 0 | 4.

0 | 5. 0 Also, I am using the rankings from Arif Hasan’s consensus big board in parentheses to give you a reference of how each player is seen in the draft community. Round 1 TRADE: Patriots trade 1-31 to Cardinals for 2-34 and 5-143: Arizona moves up to take their quarterback of the future, and the Patriots trade back three spots while picking up an extra fifth-rounder and still getting one of the guys they are targeting.
