The 2023 NFL season has come to an end, with the Kansas City Chiefs emerging as back-to-back Super Bowl champions. With the conclusion of the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl over a week ago, it’s officially draft season in the NFL. As we dive into the excitement of the upcoming draft, let’s take a look at the latest mock draft, Mock Draft 6.0, which highlights quarterbacks, offensive linemen, and edge rushers in the first round.
In this version of the mock draft, five quarterbacks are projected to go in the first round, with three of them being selected at the top. Caleb Williams maintains his position as QB1, but after him, it’s a wide-open race. The question remains: Will Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye secure the QB2 spot? And where do J.J. McCarthy, Michael Penix Jr., and Bo Nix fit into the mix?
The mock draft also predicts that eight offensive linemen, six wide receivers, and five edge rushers will have their names called in the first round. It’s clear that teams are prioritizing these positions due to their importance in building a strong and competitive roster.
