One would think Mel Kiper Jr. might want to wait until after the NFL Combine to issue a new mock draft. You know, maybe factor athletic testing and medical results into the exercise? Apparently not, though, since he published a new simulation to ESPN on Wednesday morning.

Laiatu Latu, OLB, UCLA
This week is huge for Latu, who medically retired from football due to a neck injury when he was at Washington in 2021.
