by James Layton

With the players reporting to training camp in nine days. It’s never too early to do a mock draft.

I find one way to learn about the prospects for NFL Draft is from mock drafts, it makes it easier to get an idea of who some of the prospects will be.

Team needs: DL, S, OT, OLB depth, RB, ILB, CB, WR, and IOL.

Let’s get into the mock draft. I used the PFN Draft Simulator.

Round 2, Pick 43: Calijah Kancey, DT Pittsburgh

Round 3, Pick 75: Sean Tucker, RB Syracuse

Round 4, Pick 111: Carter Warren, OT Pittsburgh

Round 5: Traded to the Seahawks for CB Ahkello Witherspoon.

Round 6, Pick 175: Will McDonald IV, Edge Iowa State

Round 7, Pick 207: Arquon Bush, CB Cincinnati

A lot of players rose up some teams draft boards from a good week of practice and interviews.
