In his first mock draft after the NFL Combine — which always shakes up projections — CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson began with an amusing thought:
Here’s the little talk we have with ourselves before the start of every combine: “Do not overreact to other-worldly 40 times or 3-cone drills or vertical leaps — this is football, it’s not middle school field day.” And every time, without fail, I overreact.
So here we go. Wilson sends cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Denver Broncos with the ninth pick, defensive lineman Jordan Davis to the Cleveland Browns with the 13th pick, quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Pittsburgh Steelers at 20 and defensive lineman Boye Mafe to the Las Vegas Raiders at 22.
