The train led to 2 quarterbacks and two operating backs being chosen within the prime 15 picks. It additionally led Cowherd to name one choice the “steal of the draft.”
This is Cowherd’s first mock draft, with odds through DraftKings Sportsbook as of April 17.
Odds to be No. 1 total decide: -20000
Cowherd’s ideas: “It is a straightforward one. Final 12 months, the Titans’ quarterbacks mixed for 22 touchdowns and 21 picks. It is a winnable division. He suits Brian Callahan’s offense. They have one go-to receiver. I feel he’ll win video games. I feel he’ll make them a playoff workforce. Best decide on the board.”
Odds to be No. 2 total decide: -500
Cowherd’s ideas: “One of the best total athlete within the draft — and he’ll play either side. Their receiving corps is Jerry Jeudy and an entire lot of meh. Additionally they have quarterbacks all stuffed out. They’ve (Joe) Flacco. They’re paying Deshaun Watson. They’re paying Kenny Pickett. They’ve despatched the sign that they are not selecting a quarterback.”
Odds to be drafted by New York Giants: +330
Cowherd’s ideas: “I feel Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito, they will minimize them in camp. I feel they’re gonna go together with Russell (Wilson) for a 12 months. Even Russell’s contract is not that punitive, it is all based mostly on what number of video games and the way effectively he performs. I feel (Sanders) is a star. … Brian Daboll has confirmed a historical past that you would be able to give him common stuff, and he can appropriate it. I do not suppose there’s so much to appropriate.”
Odds to be No. 4 total decide: +600
Cowherd’s ideas: “Final 12 months, the Patriots had the fewest sacks within the league. There can be loads of operating backs, tight ends and broad receivers out there later within the draft. It is Mike Vrabel. Have a look at what they did in free company, lots of huge uglies and dimension and motion. Carter’s an excellent athlete.”
Odds to be No. 5 total decide: -125
Cowherd’s ideas: “The Jags’ defensive position is already proficient. I feel Graham’s actually underrated. Folks say his ceiling is low. All I do know is that each time I watched him, he simply pushed folks round. They’d the second-worst whole protection within the league final 12 months.”
Odds to be drafted by Raiders: -110
Cowherd’s ideas: “Is he worthy of this decide? He is the perfect operating again on this draft. Geno Smith is superb on play motion. Pete Carroll’s profession — he was nice when he had Reggie Bush and LenDale White in faculty and Marshawn Lynch in Seattle. They’d the worst dashing assault within the NFL final season.”
Odds to be drafted by Jets: +280
Cowherd’s ideas: “This child can do the whole lot. You possibly can break up him out broad. He is a playmaker. He takes the stress off Garrett Wilson, who will get double-teamed. … They only have not had any tight finish manufacturing over the past couple of years. They solely had six landing catches from tight ends (over that stretch).”
Odds to be a top-10 decide: +400
Cowherd’s ideas: “He is a little bit little bit of a glider, however they have to go get Bryce Younger assist. That is the 12 months for Bryce Younger, who performed fairly effectively final 12 months. The broad receiver group in Carolina would not have a real No. 1. I do know two (common managers) who’re cool on him and I do know one who loves him, and it is a GM that I respect.”
Odds to be second cornerback chosen (together with Travis Hunter): -250
Cowherd’s ideas: “They moved off Marcus Lattimore, sending him to the Commanders final season, in order that they want a No. 1 nook. I feel (Johnson’s) nice. He was harm at Michigan, however I feel he begins for everyone within the NFL. … I feel Will Johnson is an distinctive participant. They’d the Twenty seventh-ranked go protection within the league. I do know you are speaking about quarterback, however I do not know what to make of that Derek Carr story. Shedeur’s going to be off the board and it is too excessive to draft Jaxson Dart.”
Odds to be a top-10 decide: -900
Cowherd’s ideas: “He is a Georgia Bulldog who rushes the passer and is a good bodily specimen. I feel you go get him for those who’re the Bears. They preserve upgrading within the trenches.”
Odds to be first OL drafted: +1200
Cowherd’s ideas: “Trent Williams is getting old at left sort out. He is 37 years outdated. Let’s be trustworthy, for those who’re gonna spend cash on Brock Purdy, then you definately higher defend him. Their O-line is the weakest a part of that workforce, and he is the perfect out there. I like him higher than Will Campbell.”
Cowboys’ odds to draft RB with first decide: +800
Cowherd’s ideas: “I feel he is a poor man’s Adrian Peterson; huge, sturdy and only a onerous dude to deliver down. Let’s face it, the Cowboys’ operating again room is atrocious, Twenty seventh within the NFL in dashing final season. They already invested the capital within the O-line. They already paid CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott. They want star energy, and there is not a adequate broad receiver to draft on this spot.”
Odds to be second OL drafted: +165
Cowherd’s ideas: “I feel he is fairly good, however inferior to Kelvin Banks. Once more, you are investing in Tua Tagovailoa, who has that harm concern. Go get an offensive sort out.”
Colts’ odds to draft OL with first decide: +270
Cowherd’s ideas: “This would be the steal of the draft. Membou tore it up at Missouri. Outdoors of Quenton Nelson, not one of the offensive linemen in Indy performed 17 video games. Folks discuss needing a decent finish, Colston Loveland’s not adequate to draft on this spot.”
Falcons’ odds to draft edge rusher/DL with first decide: -225
Cowherd’s ideas: “They do not get to the quarterback with the second-fewest sacks within the NFL final season. If you wish to beat Baker Mayfield, you have to rush Baker Mayfield. … They’ve used their first-round decide on offense for 4 straight drafts, so it is time to concentrate to protection.”
