Zak Drapeau's Chaos NFL Mock Draft 4.5

by Zak Drapeau * 4/19/2025 * FansOnlySportz

This exercise was taken from Bengal on Youtube as an exercise to simulate the chaos that comes on Draft Day. With all of my mock drafts having no trades and very little reaches, this exercise has A LOT of each.

The chaos wheel has these slices...

My Choice
Trade
Offense
Defense
Reach
Long Reach
Consensus
Non-SEC
QB

With most teams pigeon-holed to their picks by mock drafters, this exercise will explore different destinations for top prospects and why they could end up there. Most teams have had the same 1 to 3 prospects mocked to them and now they may have a brand new selection to cause a bit more drama.

___________________________________

ROUND 1

___________________________________

1. Cameron Ward QB

Tennessee Titans

Chaos: QB

Spinning QB has taken any drama out of this pick but has made the selection realistic. Cam Ward will be the QB-in waiting on this team and could even start early in the season.

___________________________________

2. Shedeur Sanders QB

Cleveland Browns

Chaos: Large Reach

Our first Large Reach (of many) and no player better fits the bill than Shedeur Sanders to the Browns. A pick that could happen but isn't favored will give the Browns a young QB they desperately need.

___________________________________

3. Travis Hunter CB

New York Giants

Chaos: Offense

This may be cheap because Hunter could be offense and defense but he would become a dangerous pairing with Malik Nabers and will realistically be a Giant anyway.

___________________________________

4. Abdul Carter ED

New England Patriots

Chaos: Non-SEC

Another common pick, its a fun fact that none of the Top-5 picks in this exercise are in the SEC surprisingly. Carter would be the best case scenario for the Patriots.

___________________________________

5. Tyler Warren TE

Jacksonville Jaguars

Chaos: My Choice

First My Choice and the Jaguars take a big need in Tyler Warren. Trevor Lawrence has under-performed and the team lost two big pass catchers so It's only right they take maybe the best in the class here.

___________________________________

6. Shemar Stewart ED

Las Vegas Raiders

Chaos: Large Reach

Another Large Reach and this is what I had in mind for a chaotic pick. Shemar Stewart might be the freakiest athlete in the class and the Raiders need an edge pair with Maxx Crosby. Stewart is somewhat in play this high up and the Raiders could be a perfect fit.

___________________________________

7. Tetairoa McMillan WR

New York Jets

Chaos: Non-SEC

Yet another Non-SEC and the Jets options would be McMillan or Will Johnson. McMillan is the pick here by a slim margin because the Jets receiving options stop after Garrett Wilson.

___________________________________

8. Mason Graham DI

San Francisco 49ers (via Carolina)

Chaos: Trade

OUR FIRST TRADE OF MOCK DRAFT SEASON!! No legitimately, without any Mock Draft I've done having trades this is the first. The 49ers are rumored to trade up in real life and with Mason Graham dropping and the 9ers need at DT, this is too perfect.

___________________________________

9. Matthew Golden WR

New Orleans Saints

Chaos: Large Reach

Large Reach is starting to run away with the most selections and Matthew Golden may be high up in Mock Drafts but he's #28 on my board. The Saints rebuild will need a high quality pass catcher and Golden's comp to Chris Olave makes this an easy pick.

___________________________________

10. Armand Membou OT

Chicago Bears

Chaos: My Choice

Second My Choice goes to the Bears and even though they retooled their IOL through Free Agency, they could still upgrade from Braxton Jones and I love the Membou fit here.

___________________________________

11. Will Campbell IOL

Miami Dolphins (via Carolina)

Chaos: Trade

TRADEEEE!!!!!!! The Panthers have no traded back TWICE and the Dolphins have moved up to take Will Campbell. Likely to leap frog the Cowboys, the Dolphins NEED O-line help in almost every spot since Terron Armstead retired.

___________________________________

12. Ashton Jeanty RB

Denver Broncos (via Dallas)

Chaos: Trade

ANOOOOTHER TRADEEEEE! This exercise is working as well as I could have hoped. With Ashton Jeanty falling this farm the RB-needy Broncos are done being patient and trade with the Cowboys to make sure they get their guy.

___________________________________

13. Will Johnson CB

Carolina Panthers

Chaos: Non-SEC

The Panthers finally make their pick and STEAL the dropping Will Johnson at 13! A CB1 player to pair with Jaycee Horn and hopefully turn this defense around. The Panthers will have gotten an extra 2nd and 3rd in the trades as well.

___________________________________

14. Jaxson Dart QB

Indianapolis Colts

Chaos: QB

Our first QB slice and the Colts take their backup incase the Richardson-Jones experiment goes horribly wrong, (which it probably will.)

___________________________________

15. Colston Loveland TE

Los Angeles Chargers (via Atlanta)

Chaos: Trade

Our forth trade already... The Chargers saw the Broncos be aggressive and decided to do the same but for less expense. Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers feel Loveland will complete their offense and they moved up to get him.

___________________________________

16. Jihaad Campbell LB

Arizona Cardinals

Chaos: Defense

The Cardinals defense is perfect for a hybrid linebacker like Campbell and is a logical point for him to go if he isn't selected too early.

___________________________________

17. Jahdae Barron CB

Cincinnati Bengals

Chaos: My Choice

The Bengals will need defense in this draft and they should start with DBs or Edge Rushers. Barron could've easily gone earlier in this draft but falling to the Bengals would be a blessing for both parties.

___________________________________

18. Malaki Starks SAF

Seattle Seahawks

Chaos: My Choice

This is a personal favorite pick for me as I think Malaki Starks could be the next Kyle Hamilton. Seattle HC Mike MacDonald drafted Hamilton 3 years ago and now will get another top rated Safety on his defense in a much needed position.

___________________________________

19. Jalon Walker LB

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chaos: Defense

Jalon Walker's fall to 19 would be very surprising but it would be the best case scenario for the Buccaneers. Walker would be the immediate best edge rusher on the team.

___________________________________

20. Luther Burden III WR

Dallas Cowboys (via Denver)

Chaos: Consensus

From the Ashton Jeanty trade from earlier, the Cowboys drop to 20 and still get a Top-3 WR in the class. Burden will be a slot compliment to Ceedee on the outside and really open up the Cowboys passing game.

___________________________________

21. Jalen Milroe QB

Pittsburgh Steelers

Chaos: Large Reach

Fitting, the Steelers get "large Reach" here at 21. Jalen Milroe has been climbing up ladders since his Pro Day and will fully transform this offense into one of the most run heavy schemes in the league.

___________________________________

22. Mykel Williams ED

Atlanta Falcons (via LA Chargers)

Chaos: My Choice

The Falcons also traded back earlier in the exercise and still got one of their guys. Williams is a great potentil edge rusher who's fantastic at setting the edge. The Falcons may need an extra year to groom Williams but he will be a great player on this team soon.

___________________________________

23. Shavon Revel Jr. CB

Green Bay Packers

Chaos: Consensus

The consensus pick here was between Revel and Hairston. Revel goes here because of a very similar skill set but with a much longer frame. Revel's ACL injury has gotten good remarks and should be 100% come August.

___________________________________

24. Maxwell Hairston CB

Minnesota Vikings

Chaos: My Choice

Hairston doesn't wait long as the Vikings nab him here after 4 of their DBs left for Free Agency. Hairston's remarkable speed and man coverage should keep him starting in Minnesota.

___________________________________

25. Kelvin Banks Jr. OT

Houston Texans

Chaos: Consensus

Consensus here is actually Josh Simmons but that's because Banks was taken in almost every other draft. A victim of the wheel, Banks drop will likely not make it to Houston on draft day... but they're certainly hoping it will.

___________________________________

26. Josh Simmons OT

Los Angeles Rams

Chaos: Offense

The Rams have needed a Tackle in the waiting for some time now and Josh Simmons is good enough to take over RT as soon as he gets healthy. The Rams will likely Red Shirt him this season and prepare him to be their Tackle for years to come.

___________________________________

27. Benjamin Morrison CB

Baltimore Ravens

Chaos: Large Reach

A Large Reach here is the reason Morrison goes in the first round after his hip injury has plummeted him down boards. The Ravens have a good secondary but seem ready to let Marlon Humphrey go next season. Morrison could be a flawless replacement after a year on the bench to fully recover.

___________________________________

28. Tyler Booker IOL

Detroit Lions

Chaos: Offense

The Lions will need to add some line help to keep their run game strong without Ben Johnson. Tyler Booker is a nasty mauler that will fit perfectly with the Lions scheme and culture.

___________________________________

29. Emeka Egbuka WR

Washington Commanders

Chaos: Offense

I would've liked to give the Commanders an Edge but the wheel took Chaos and Emeka Egbuka was the only choice. Adding Deebo helped this team but Egbuka is a more long-term and high-potential weapon to give to Jayden Daniels.

___________________________________

30. Walter Nolen DI

New York Giants (via Buffalo)

Chaos: Trade

ANOTHER TRADE! With Walter Nolen, (#13 on my Board) dropping this far, the Giants trade up from 34 to garb him and pair with Dexter Lawrence for the best pass rushing interior D-line in the NFL instantly.

___________________________________

31. Mike Green ED

Kansas City Chiefs

Chaos: My Choice

The Chiefs will need some D-line help either this year or next and a player like Mike Green isn't usually on the board at 31. Green's immediate impact on a Super Bowl-level team could be insane especially with as many snaps as he would get right away.

___________________________________

32. Josh Conerly Jr. OT

Philadelphia Eagles

Chaos: Offense

Finally, the defending champs grab Josh Conerly to stash behind Lane Johnson for the former's soon retirement. Conerly is a good pass rusher but will need some help learning NFL zone blocking schemes and Johnson and the Eagles are the perfect mentors.

___________________________________

ROUND 2

___________________________________

33. Omarion Hampton RB

Cleveland Browns

Chaos: Offense

Previous Pick: Shedeur Sanders

Omarion Hampton will likely go in the first round but with him falling here, a fit with the Cleveland Browns would be perfect alongside Jerome Ford.

___________________________________

34. Jonah Savaiinaea OT

Buffalo Bills (via NY Giants)

Chaos: Long Reach

Previous Pick: None

The Bills traded down from 30 earlier and take the versatile Jonah Savaiinaea to be a backup lineman and potential replacement if David Edwards continues to decline. I almost went with a receiver here but for "Long Reach", Savaiinaea made the most sense.

___________________________________

35. Donovan Ezeiruaku ED

Tennessee Titans

Chaos: Non-Sec

Previous Pick: Cameron Ward

The Titans get Ezeiruaku in the second round and get their Harold Landry replacement. Ezey is a bit undersized but has a legitimate NFL-ready bag of pass rush moves and will become a Day 1 starter in Tennessee.

___________________________________

36. Derrick Harmon DT

Jacksonville Jaguars

Chaos: Non-SEC

Previous Pick: Tyler Warren TE

After passing on Mason Graham at pick #5, the Jaguars get Harmon at #36 in a beautiful piece of drafting. Harmon may be a bit more raw than Graham but has a bigger frame and arguably the same athleticism. Easily the best Non-SEC on the board at the moment, the Jaguars gamble at 5 pays off here.

___________________________________

37. Nick Emmanwori SAF

Dallas Cowboys (via Las Vegas)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Luther Burden WR

Trading 51 and 76 for this selection, the Cowboys go and get the freakiest athlete in this class in Nick Emmanwori. Likely a rotational piece until he gets better at diagnosing plays and mirroring receivers, Emmanwori's development should only last weeks until he's ready to start terrorizing NFL offenses.

___________________________________

38. Kenneth Grant DT

New England Patriots

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Abdul Carter ED

Kenneth Grant falls to 38 after Abdul Carter falls to 4... if this happens on Thursday the Patriots can pack up and go home now and will still have the best 2025 class of any team in the league.

___________________________________

39. Darius Alexander DT

Chicago Bears (via Carolina)

Chaos: Reach

Previous Pick: Armand Membou OT

Darius Alexander is farther on my board than most but even I can't deny his speed for his size is scary. Possibly becoming a Day 1 starter on this week D-line, Alexander will pass rush from the interior alongside Grady Jarrett and scary the daylights out of opposing lines.

___________________________________

40. James Pearce Jr. ED

Atlanta Falcons (via New Orleans)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Mykel Williams ED

The Falcons TRADE UP and take a 2nd pass rusher? Well when James Pearce is still on the board at 40 I can absolutely see it. The crazy thing is Pearce Jr and their 1st-rounder Mykel Williams will automatically be there best two rushers.

___________________________________

41. Xavier Watts SAF

Chicago Bears

Chaos: Defense

Previous Picks: Armand Membou OT, Darius Alexander DT

The Bears make their second pick in 3 selections and take a ball hawking Free Safety Xavier Watts. Watts will give Chicago flexibility to share snaps with Kevin Byard and let the veteran walk this offseason with an immediate replacement on the team.

___________________________________

42. Darien Porter CB

New York Jets

Chaos: Reach

Previous Pick: Tetairoa McMillan WR

From a physical presence at WR in the 1st to a physical freak at corner in the second round, Aaron Glenn would love these picks. Porter in particular is a former WR turned corner, who at 6'3" ran a blazing 4.3-40 and could pair nicely with Sauce in New York.

___________________________________

43. Donovan Jackson IOL

San Francisco 49ers

Chaos: Offense

Previous Pick: Mason Graham DT

The 49ers had to move up to get Mason Graham in the first but are lucky enough to stay put and still get Donovan Jackson in the second. Jackson has the versatility to play Guard or Tackle in the league and is sorely needed on an iffy San Fran O-line.

___________________________________

44. TreVeyon Henderson RB

Dallas Cowboys

Chaos: Consensus

Previous Picks: Luther Burden WR and Nick Emmanwori SAF

This is a "Consensus" pick for a reason, everybody wants to see it and has predicted it because of the perfect fit on the Cowboys and Dallas' desperate need for another Franchise RB.

___________________________________

45. Carson Schwesinger LB

Indianapolis Colts

Chaos: Consensus

Previous Pick: Jaxson Dart QB

After shockingly taking Jaxson Dart in the 1st, the Colts play it safe and take Schwesinger in the second who could really become a defensive captain as early as his second year in Indianapolis.

___________________________________

46. Quinn Ewers QB

New Orleans Saints (via Atlanta)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Matthew Golden WR

The Saints traded back from 40 to 46 in the James Pearce trade so that they can feel better about reaching for a QB in Quinn Ewers. With Derek Carr's injury being in the air and Spencer Rattler being unproven, Quinn Ewers could come in and play at some point as early as his rookie year.

___________________________________

47. Grey Zabel IOL

Seattle Seahawks (via Arizona)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Malaki Starks SAF

The Seahawks probably won't take any interior O-line until like Round 5 but they really should especially if Grey Zabel is still here at 47. A VERY smart and strong lineman able to play all 5 O-line spots, Zabel could be a revelation to this team.

___________________________________

48. Elijah Arroyo TE

Miami Dolphins

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Pick: Will Campbell OG

Miami reaches for a hometown boy in Miami's vertical Tight End Elijah Arroyo. Jonnu Smith might've played well enough to start this season but Arroyo will likely be just as good right away and is obviously a better option long term.

___________________________________

49. Nic Scourton ED

Cincinnati Bengals

Chaos: Consensus

Previous Pick: Jahdae Barron CB

After addressing the poor DB room in the3 1st, the Bengals address the horrible Edge room in Round 2. Nic Scourton may have had a disappointing Junior season but his potential as a true power rusher is too great for the Bengals to pass on.

___________________________________

50. Trey Amos CB

Las Vegas Raiders (via Arizona)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Shemar Stewart ED

The Raiders trade up for the second time in this exercise and grab Trey Amos. Amos was one of the best Corners last season and has a solid CB3 floor in the NFL with a lockdown man cover CB1 ceiling.

___________________________________

51. Tyleik Williams DT

Arizona Cardinals

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Jihaad Campbell LB

Another one of my guys in this class falling too far as the Cardinals have Tyleik Williams fall into their lap at 51. Pairing him with FA signing Josh Sweat and first rounder Jihaad Campbell and Arizona has DRASTICALLY improved an already decent pass rush.

___________________________________

52. Jayden Higgins WR

Seattle Seahawks (via Pittsburgh)

Chaos: Non-SEC

Previous Picks: Malaki Starks SAF and Grey Zabel OG

The Seahawks get this pick from the D.K. Metcalf trade and try to replace him with Jayden Higgins. Just as big as Metcalf, Higgins will need to work on route cutting to live up to his predecessor but is as good of a red zone threat as anyone in this class.

___________________________________

53. Landon Jackson ED

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chaos: Reach

Previous Pick: Jalon Walker LB

The Buccaneers follow in the Falcons' footsteps and double up on edge rushers. Following Jalon Walker with Landon Jackson is nuts for their pass rush but will also allow Jalon Walker to step back to Will LB at times without giving up any pass rush.

___________________________________

54. Omar Norman-Lott DT

Green Bay Packers

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Pick: Shavon Revel Jr. CB

Another Large Reach and the Packers go for ONL as a D Tackle to give Devonte Wyatt a run for his money. ONL is 305 pounds but plays like he's 290 and pass rushes like he's 275. In truth, he will need to get better against the run but has the frame to do so in the future.

___________________________________

55. Kevin Winston Jr. SAF

Atlanta Falcons (via LA Chargers)

Previous Picks: Mykel Williams ED and James Pearce Jr. ED

Acquired form the Colston Loveland trade, the Falcons take Kevin Winston at 55 and add a 3rd defenseman in this draft. Winston Jr. is only here at 55 because of a partially torn ACL. Beforehand, Winston Jr. was in play for SAFETY1 of the class because of his run stopping Strong Safety play. A perfect compliment to Jessie Bates.

___________________________________

56. Jack Bech WR

Buffalo Bills

Chaos: Consensus

Previous Pick: Jonah Savaiinaea OT

Everyone knows the Bills will take a WR in this draft, the only question is: when? Well I think Jack Bech at 56 is a perfect fit. Bech will play more of a middle field game between Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir and should help the Bills have a legitimate receiving core again.

___________________________________

57. Isaiah Bond WR

Carolina Panthers

Chaos: Offense

Previous Pick: Will Johnson CB

Isaiah Bond would be a great fit to the Panthers who have a bunch of decent receivers but no real deep threats. More than just a deep threat though, Bond is a typical "Z" receiver who can line up anywhere and even be used in trick plays, reverses and more.

___________________________________

58. T.J. Sanders DT

Houston Texans

Chaos: Defense

Previous Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr. OT

A different kind of D Tackle in this class, Sanders is more of a D End in the NFL at 6'4" and 290 pounds but is a athletic pass rusher with enough strength to play in Houston's 4-3 scheme.

___________________________________

59. Demetrious Knight II LB

Baltimore Ravens

Chaos: Defense

Previous Pick: Benjamin Morrison CB

Adding to the Ravens LB room, Demetrious Knight's potential is so similar to Roquon Smith it's crazy. A sure tackling, 235-pound linebacker with decent coverage and the Ravens have their future of the position and they get it as deep as pick 59.

___________________________________

60. Quinshon Judkins RB

Las Vegas Raiders

Chaos: Trade

Previous Picks: Shemar Stewart ED and Trey Amos CB

The Raiders passed up on Jeanty at 6 and now take Judkins at 60. A tall and violent downhill runner, Judkins will need a compliment back for 3rd downs but may be the Josh Jacobs replacement the Raiders have been looking for.

___________________________________

61. J.T. Tuimoloau ED

Washington Commanders Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Emeka Egbuka WR

The Commanders need pass rush badly and J.T. Tuimoloau is one of the best power rushers of the class. He doesn't have much more in his bag than a violent rip and bull rush but he will get in the backfield and become a starter in Washington very early on.

___________________________________

62. Cam Skattebo RB

Buffalo Bills

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Picks: Jonah Savaiinaea OT and Jack Bech WR

I've been thinking about adding a RB to the Bills in this RB-loaded class and Cam Skattebo would be such a fun pick. Able to be on the field all 3 downs, Skattebo could make the pending-James Cook contract a much easier decision in the Bills' future.

___________________________________

63. Andrew Mukuba SAF

Kansas City Chiefs

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Pick: Mike Green ED

A ball-hawking Free Safety to throw into Kansas City's rotation, Mukuba is the pick over any lineman the Chiefs could go after... Especially since they pick again in 3 selections.

___________________________________

64. Jordan Burch Edge

Philadelphia Eagles

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Pick: Josh Conerly Jr. OT

The Eagles take a Milton Williams prototype in Jordan Burch who was on Bruce Feldman's Freak List the past two years. A definite project edge rusher, Burch has the size and speed to be an All-Pro but will take serious work to get his pass rush moves and hands to a great or even good level.

___________________________________

ROUND 3

___________________________________

65. Jack Sawyer Edge

New York Giants

Chaos: Defense

Previous Picks: Travis Hunter CB and Walter Nolen DT

Further adding to their defense, the Giants grab Jack Sawyer in the 3rd and pair him alongside Brian Burns and Walter Nolen for their future.

___________________________________

66. Aireontae Ersery OT

Kansas City Chiefs (via Tennessee)

Chaos: Reach

Previous Picks: Mike Green ED and Andrew Mukuba SAF

I said earlier that the Chiefs can take Mukuba and pass on a lineman because they can get Ersery here at 66. A huge run blocking tackle, Ersery could be a Right Tackle starter in a few years.

___________________________________

67. Mason Taylor TE

Indianapolis Colts (via Cleveland)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Picks: Jaxson Dart QB and Carson Schwesinger LB

After passing on Tyler Warren in the first, the Colts trade up in the 3rd and get Mason Taylor, who has a similar vertical threat but will need some practice to ever become a true blocker.

___________________________________

68. Xavier Restrepo WR

Detroit Lions (via Las Vegas)

Chaos: Offense

Previous Pick: Tyler Booker OG

The Lions traded out of the second round and take Xavier Restrepo, one of the best slot receivers here at 68. Restrepo and Booker being drafted mean the Lions have gotten rid of the only "slight" holes the Lions' offense had.

___________________________________

69. Kaleb Johnson RB

Baltimore Ravens (via New England)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Picks: Benjamin Morrison CB and Demetrious Knight II LB

Kaleb Johnson is a very interesting back because of how violent he runs and my prediction that he falls to the third. If the Ravens have the stones to trade up for him he could be an immediate Derrick Henry replacement in a few years.

___________________________________

70. Tez Johnson WR

Jacksonville Jaguars

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Picks: Tyler Warren TE and Derrick Harmon DT

Another Large Reach and the Jaguars add another pass catcher in Tez Johnson. A weak 40-yard dash for his size and an incredible small frame hurt Johnson, but NOBODY was better at separating at the Senior Bowl and for that Tez has intriguing potential in the league.

___________________________________

71. Cameron Williams OT

New Orleans Saints

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Picks: Matthew Golden WR and Quinn Ewers QB

The Saints would love a project RT like Cam Williams who has unreal strength and is very raw at the position. The Saints will be pigeon-holed to start Trevor Penning for another year but could keep Williams in waiting behind him.

___________________________________

72. Jared Ivey Edge

Chicago Bears

Chaos: Reach

Previous Pick: Armand Membou OT, Darius Alexander DT and Xavier Watts SAF

Their 4th pick so far, the Bears take Ole Miss power rusher Jared Ivey. Ivey's blend of bend and strength is a nightmare for Tackles without much strength and could become a starting-caliber D End very soon.

___________________________________

73. Azareye'h Thomas CB

Houston Texans (via NY Jets)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr. OT and T.J. Sanders DT

The Texans just gave $30 Million/year to Derek Stingley Jr. but they're still lokking for a CB2 to pair him with. Thomas holds a lot of similar traits with his blkend of size, speed and zone coverage ability.

___________________________________

74. Kyle Kennard Edge

Carolina Panthers

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Picks: Will Johnson CB and Isaiah Bond WR

The Panthers may luck out here if Kennard is till on the board at 74. The reigning Defensive Player of the country was a leader at South Carolina and boasted high-level production for years. His size may pose slight problems.

___________________________________

75. Jalen Royals WR

Carolina Panthers (via San Francisco)

Chaos: Offense

Previous Picks: Will Johnson CB, Isaiah Bond WR and Kyle Kennard ED

Acquired in the Mason Graham trade of this exercise, the Panthers pick again and take a 2nd receiver in Jalen Royals. Unproven against good competition, Royals torched his opponents this season as a speedy "X" receiver until a foot injury sidelined him midway through his season.

___________________________________

76. Dillon Gabriel QB

Las Vegas Raiders (via Dallas)

Chaos: Offense

Previous Picks: Shemar Stewart ED, Trey Amos CB and Quinshon Judkins RB

The Raiders may have signed Geno Smith to a 2-year extension but that won't stop them from looking to Gabriel in the 3rd. Gabriel is a proven winner at 3 different programs and has good arm talent that could turn him into an NFL starter if his suitor has the patience to work with him.

___________________________________

77. R.J. Harvey Jr. RB

New England Patriots (via Atlanta)

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Picks: Abdul Carter ED and Kenneth Grant DT

The Patriots take RJ Harvey here and while he hasn't set the world on fire with his mock draft perception, I believe his blend of shiftiness and pass catching ability will seriously remind Josh McDaniels of James White.

___________________________________

78. Wyatt Milum IOL

Arizona Cardinals

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Jihaad Campbell LB and Tyleik Williams DT

The Cardinals need some depth at Guard and Wyatt Milum would be someone who could emerge as a starter from that role in a very short time. A Tackle in college, Milum's arms are too short to play the edge but his pass blocking is so good he will get reps early.

___________________________________

79. Ozzy Trapilo OT

New York Jets (via Miami)

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Tetairoa McMillan WR and Darien Porter CB

A massive human being, Trapilo is a project pass blocker with enormous upside; no pun intended. Another massive body to carry on the Jets new 'prototype' build for their draftees under Aaron Glenn.

___________________________________

80. Elic Ayomanor WR

Cleveland Browns (via Indianapolis)

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Shedeur Sanders QB and Omarion Hampton RB

The Browns continue to upgrade their offense by adding another "X" receiver in Ayomanor. With good size and red zone threat-ability, Ayomanor will need some more reps going through the middle but should be a huge compliment to Jerry Jeudy.

___________________________________

81. Princely Umanmielen ED

Cincinnati Bengals

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Jahdae Barron CB and Nic Scourton ED

Another team double dipping at Edge, the Bengals would love to add Umanmielen for his power rush upside. His violent hands and quick cuts will make him feared in the league but his low-volume of pass rush moves may hinder his growth at first.

___________________________________

82. Alfred Collins DT

Seattle Seahawks

Chaos: Reach

Previous Pick: Malaki Starks SAF, Grey Zabel OG and Jayden Higgins WR

Collins would be a rotational piece in the pretty great Seahawks D-line at first but could turn into the Nose Tackle they need to move Byron Murphy back to his true 3-4 DE position.

___________________________________

83. Tre Harris WR

New England Patriots (via Pittsburgh)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Abdul Carter ED, Kenneth Grant DT and R.J. Harvey Jr. RB

Adding the WR they desperately need, Tre Harris to the Patriots seems like his ideal marriage in this draft. A physical outside receiver, Harris may not have ideal NFL speed but everything else about him should have him at a CB3 floor in New England.

___________________________________

84. Jacob Parrish CB

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chaos: Defense

Previous Pick: Jalon Walker LB and Landon Jackson ED

Parrish is my CB10 and a far drop from Azareye'h Thomas but because he's the next best and Tampa need DBs, Parrish goes here and could actually be very good in the Nickel.

___________________________________

85. Jamaree Caldwell DT

Denver Broncos

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Pick: Ashton Jeanty RB

The Broncos had Zach Allen emerge into a superstar last season on their D line but they could still use a run defender in there to take some pressure off of him. Caldwell is a big and athletic clogger D Tackle.

___________________________________

86. Josh Farmer DT

Los Angeles Chargers

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Colston Loveland TE

Losing their second round pick in the Colston Loveland trade, the Chargers cover their other need here as a pass rusher and Josh Farmer... kind of fits the bill. Farmer is a strong run defender but his hands are so good he absolutely has interior pass rush potential.

___________________________________

87. Anthony Belton OT

Green Bay Packers

Chaos: Consensus

Previous Pick: Shavon Revel Jr. CB and Omar Norman-Lott DT

The Packers got lucky with Zach Tom as a Tackle but will still need to upgrade from Rasheed Walker in the near future. Anthony Belton has a massive frame and moves surprising well in pass protection and could be a good project Tackle in Green Bay.

___________________________________

88. Cobee Bryant CB

Jacksonville Jaguars (via Minnesota)

Chaos: Reach

Previous Pick: Tyler Warren TE, Derrick Harmon DT and Tez Johnson WR

The Jaguars really need CB help and Cobee Bryant has a lot of tools NFL scouts look for but is also very slender. At 6'1" and 175 pounds, Bryant is a speedy man cover artist but his frame will allow him to be moss'd somewhat easily and limit any press ability he might have.

___________________________________

89. Marcus Mbow IOL

Kansas City Chiefs (via Houston)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Mike Green ED, Andrew Mukuba SAF and Aireontae Ersery OT

Back-to-back linemen in the 3rd round, the Chiefs are still weary about their Super Bowl line woes. Marcus Mbow was a Tackle in college but projects to a Guard in the pros and a very good pass blocking Guard at that.

___________________________________

90. Kyle McCord QB

Los Angles Rams

Chaos: Offense

Previous Pick: Josh Simmons OT

The Rams will likely take a mid-round flyer to sit in Matthew Stafford's shadow for a couple of years and Kyle McCord is a great contestant. A large and athletic QB, McCord's arm strength isn't great but his processing and experience could be invaluable especially in a situation where he gets to sit and learn Sean McVay's system for a few years.

___________________________________

91. Josiah Stewart ED

Pittsburgh Steelers (via Baltimore)

Chaos: Non-SEC

Previous Pick: Jalen Milroe QB

Drafting Josiah Stewart as a rotational edge behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith is a scary thought. Stewart's elusiveness beyond the tackle could cause a lot of mismatches especially when most teams will be game planning for the other 2 in the lineup.

92. Jeffrey Bassa LB

Seattle Seahawks (via Detroit)

Chaos: Non-SEC

Previous Pick: Malaki Starks SAF, Grey Zabel OG, Jayden Higgins WR and Alfred Collins DT

For their 5th pick in this exercise, the Seahawks get the talented pass cover Linebacker, Jeffrey Bassa. Likely a rotational piece early, Bassa could easily be in line for the Mike in a weak positional group in Seattle.

93. Sebastian Castro SAF

New Orleans (via Washington)

Chaos: Defense

Previous Pick: Matthew Golden WR, Quinn Ewers QB and Sebastian Castro SAF

A reliable and versatile DB, Castro will be best in the Nickel at the next level thanks to his tackling and size. A compliment to Mike Sainristil, Castro would be a Kamren Curl replacement much siooner than the Commanders ever expected.

94. Aeneas Peebles DI

Cleveland Browns (via Buffalo)

Chaos: Non-SEC

Previous Pick: Shedeur Sanders QB, Omarion Hampton RB and Elic Ayomanor WR

A smaller interior pass rusher, Peebles would excel in Cleveland's 4-3 alongside Myles Garrett. Peebels has very good run plugging ability for his size as well.

95. Bradyn Swinson ED

Detroit Lions (via Kansas City)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Tyler Booker OG and Xavier Restrepo WR

Finally adding some much needed pass rush, Bradyn Swinson to the Lions is a weird pick because Swinson isn't Detroit's normal pass rusher. A freak nonetheless, Swinson is much more of a speed rusher but will be competing for snaps right away in Detroit.

96. Tate Ratledge IOL

Philadelphia Eagles

Chaos: Consensus

Previous Pick: Josh Conerly Jr. OT and Jordan Burch ED

The Eagles draft their second O lineman to assure the future of that special group. With Lane Johnson departing soon and Tyler Steen's questionable future at the position, Tate Ratledge should get ample opportunity on this team.

97. Chris Paul Jr. LB

San Francisco 49ers (via Minnesota)

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Mason Graham DT and Donovan Jackson OG

Chris Paul Jr. may never live up to Dre Greenlw in San Francisco, but he is a sure tackling high IQ linebacker this team could really use. His size isn't great but the 49ers have shown ability to grow undersize LBs in the past.

98. J.J. Pegues DI

Carolina Panthers (via Miami)

Chaos: Large Reach

Previous Pick: Will Johnson CB, Isaiah Bond WR, Kyle Kennard ED and Jalen Royals WR

For their 5th pick so far... the Panthers take Pegues out of Ole Miss to become a running back black hole in the middle of this defense. Without great athleticism to become any other position on the line, Pegues will only be a NT but he should be servicable especially on this team alongside Derrick Brown.

99. Bhayshul Tuten RB

New York Giants

Chaos: Offense

Previous Pick: Travis Hunter CB, Walter Nolen DT and Jack Sawyer ED

This could be such a great mid round pick as Bhayshul Tuten legitimately has home run potential on every play. His fumbling and size could make him never more than a rotational piece but his ceiling is too high for the Giants to pass on with their RB room.

100. Deone Walker DT

Carolina Panthers

Chaos: Trade

Previous Pick: Will Johnson CB, Isaiah Bond WR, Kyle Kennard ED, Jalen Royals WR J.J. Pegues DT

For their exercise-leading 6th pick, the largest player in this class goes to Carolina as insurance alongside J.J. Pegues. At 6'8" and 335 pounds, Walker will hold the middle of the line at will but may never have the right pad level or agility to become anything more than a double team magnet. The potential is huge though...

101. Will Howard QB

Los Angeles Rams

Chaos: QB

Previous Picks: Josh Simmons OT and Kyle McCord QB

Double dipping on Quarterback? Well the Rams don't have too many holes to fill and they definitely need a Quarterback in waiting so get National Champion Will Howard to compete with their earlier Kyle McCord pick and force the two Ohio State QBs to duke it out.

102. Terrence Ferguson TE

Houston Texans (via Detroit)

Chaos: My Choice

Previous Pick: Kelvin Banks Jr. OT, T.J. Sanders DT and Azareye'h Thomas CB

Finally at 102, the Texans draft Terrance Ferguson who has VERY similar receiving ability to Dalton Schultz but with a higher blocking upside and an obviously strogner long-term potential.
