Rebilas-Imagn Images The NFL Draft is now upon us! Teams have some new faces and filled some roster holes, so let’s take a guess at what days one and two will look like. For the sake of this particular mock draft, we WILL be using trades.

Trade valuations will be based on multiple draft value charts. The selections here are what I think teams will do, which will undoubtedly be wrong, so feel free to mock the mock in the comment section! Round 1 Pick 1, Las Vegas Raiders – Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V from every other mock draft since the National Championship game.

Pick 2, New York Jets – Arvell Reese, EDGE, Ohio State The Jets traded away a young edge defender, so they need some pass rush help. Reese provides versatility for Aaron Glenn and company in the front seven. Pick 3, New Orleans Saints (via Arizona Cardinals) – David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech **TRADE** The Cardinals like the first round depth at offensive tackle, so they’re willing to slide down a bit here.
