New year, new NFL mock draft! And for me, personally, this is the first mock of the cycle that offers a definitive look at what this year’s order is ultimately set to look like. I last did an NFL mock draft around Thanksgiving and a lot has changed since then. With the concrete order solidifying by the day, I took the opportunity to get a *little* nutty. I asked some philosophical questions, like: And I enjoyed the answers so much that I decided I’d share them all with you. This is a thought exercise just as much as it is a forecast—that’s important context for this NFL mock draft. It’s simply one of the millions of iterations we could receive from the NFL Multiverse. But it’s one that offers change, hope, excitement, and a few twists and turns along the way. I hope you all enjoy it!
