Each week, draft websites across the internet release mock drafts, doing their best to create enjoyable content for the draft community. Unfortunately, reading the same projections from the same analysts can get a bit stagnant during certain times of the offseason, but every so often, some of the big-name analysts drop a mock draft that shakes things up.
This week, Dane Brugler (The Athletic), Daniel Jeremiah (NFL), Mel Kiper (ESPN), and Kyle Crabbs (The Draft Network) all dropped their latest mock drafts. While Kiper didn’t shake things up much, both Brugler and Jeremiah projected a growing trend of pairing the Jacksonville Jaguars with an offensive tackle with the first overall pick, Brugler going with North Carolina State’s Ikem Ekwonu and Jeremiah landing on Alabama’s Evan Neal.
