The former NY Jets GM has quite a twist for us: "I'm... putting myself into the general manager chair for each team with a first-rounder and making my own picks. So it's not necessarily what I'm expecting to happen but rather how I'd personally approach each Day 1 selection. This is all based off my own evaluations, preferences, philosophies and rationale."
Bottom line: Everything looks normal through the first 3 picks and then Arizona shocks the football world by drafting JJ McCarthy. And then shocks the football world a second time by trading Kyler Murray to the Vikings! As for the Giants, Malik Nabers is mocked to them for the umpteenth time:
Top 6 Picks
1. Chicago Bears (via CAR) Caleb Williams, QB, USC
2. Washington Commanders Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
3. New England Patriots Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
4. Arizona Cardinals J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
"...QB availability is crucial in today's NFL... and Kyler Murray hasn't played a full season since 2020. I really like McCarthy's long-term upside... I think he's a better, younger and more durable quarterback than Murray right now, and I'm not passing up this chance..."
5. Los Angeles Chargers Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
6. New York Giants Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
"Four QBs are already off the board, so the Giants need to think about getting the offense some playmakers for Daniel Jones... You might be screaming for Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr. here, but this WR1 race is really close, and I'm actually giving Nabers the edge because of his speed... He's the most dynamic prospect in the class, both as a route runner and after-the-catch playmaker..."

11. Arizona Cardinals (via mock trade with MIN) Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
Vikings get: QB Kyler Murray and No. 66 (third round)

Mr. T needs to put the crack pipe down.
They are in need of a rookie QB so they can pay Jefferson.

Agreed.
Vikings don't really seem like a good fit for Murray. I think if it were to happen that the Cards move on from him, then he would already have been traded by now, as a suitable trade partner would have been identified.

I think he developed this mock just to be different from all the other mocks recently.
What exactly is it that you don't understand?
Da height of mongodom!

The part where he thinks Daniel Jones can make plays
