The NFL Scouting Combine is now in the rear view mirror, where there were some standout performances by prospects that helped elevate their stock going into pro days.

We’re unveiling our first three-round mock draft following the week in Indianapolis, which features plenty of quarterback action at the top of the order.

Before we get into each selection, here are a few predictions to keep in mind when scrolling through the mock draft:

  • The Bears trade down to 4
  • The Panthers trade up to 3
  • Mac Jones is traded to the Raiders
  • Jalen Ramsey is traded to the Steelers
  • Jimmy Garoppolo signs with the Patriots
  • DeAndre Hopkins is traded to the Bills
  • Keenan Allen is released, signs with the Chiefs
  • Lamar Jackson is traded to the Falcons
  • Aaron Rodgers is traded to the Jets
  • Trey Lance is traded to the Titans
