We’re here, finally. It’s Draft Day and what better way to celebrate three of the most exciting days of the NFL offseason with one last mock draft. We’ve done way too many, including a seven-rounder and a two-rounder and what we would do if we were the GM. And if that’s not enough, here’s our final Top 150 Big Board to keep you occupied until Roger Goodell strolls up to the podium on Thursday night.

It’s been a wilder ride than most years, primarily because there has been no franchise quarterback to build storylines around. But that’s OK, there are plenty of really, really good players in this class, just very few of them are quarterbacks (come back next year though!). So with that in mind, here it is, our final mock draft, the one where we try to predict what will actually happen on draft night.  Also worth noting: This is based on a combination of talking to people around the league and reading the tea leaves (read: trying to sort through the smokescreens for nuggets of some truth).

We actually did pretty well in our 2021 version though we’ll be honest, we have very low expectations this year because there’s just so much uncertainty. OK, enough with the excuses, let’s get to it.
