The NFL mock draft is heating up, with the consensus on the first overall pick being quarterback Cam Ward, likely to head to Tennessee. Following him, Travis Hunter appears set to join the Cleveland Browns at No. 2, and Abdul Carter could bolster their pass rush alongside Myles Garrett. The Dallas Cowboys face a tough decision between wide receivers Matthew Golden and Tetairoa McMillan, while the running back class is deep, featuring talents like Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton. Texas and Texas A&M are expected to break records for the most players selected in a single draft, with Texas aiming for up to three first-rounders.

As the draft approaches, teams like Pittsburgh and New Orleans might shake things up with potential trades for quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins, affecting draft board projections. The mock draft outlines prospects for each team, with notable picks including Shedeur Sanders to New Orleans, and a possible surprise with the Chicago Bears selecting Mykel Williams to enhance their defense. As always, the draft promises to be a pivotal moment shaping team rosters for the upcoming season.
