[] --------------------------------------------------------------- [Footballguys Staff NFL 4-Round Mock Draft](=) by Nick Whalen Exclusive to Footballguys.com --------------------------------------------------------------- Over the last few weeks, we got several staff members together for a four-round NFL mock draft. Each staffer was the general manager of one to three teams and was instructed to be realistic in their approach to each team's draft. Trading was allowed. Let's get right to it. Round 1 1. Carolina Panthers - QB [C.J. Stroud](), Ohio State Jeff Haseley: After years of trying to find a franchise quarterback, Carolina and head coach Frank Reich get their man in [C.J. Stroud](). He is an accurate, capable passer with impressive ball placement skills who has shown the ability to rise to the occasion when needed. He brings a career completion percentage hovering near 70% with an 85:12 touchdown to interception ratio. Carolina is thrilled to have him be a cornerstone of their organization. 2. Houston Texans - QB [Bryce Young](), Alabama Craig Lakins: New head coach Demeco Ryans gets the quarterback he coveted all along in [Bryce Young](). The Panthers trading up to the first pick was the best-case scenario for the Texans. They get their franchise quarterback and didn't have to give up additional assets to get the one they wanted. Size concerns are the only concerns for Young, as he does everything else at a very high level. 3. Las Vegas Raiders - QB [Anthony Richardson](, Florida Trade: The Cardinals get Pick 1.07 and a 2024 first-rounder. The Raiders get Pick 1.03. Gary Davenport: This is a bold move by Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler - and one that comes at a steep cost. But if Richardson turns out to be half the player some believe he can be, it will be hailed as a franchise-defining move. Richardson is an athletic marvel with a sky-high ceiling, and with [Jimmy Garoppolo]( on the team, the Raiders can afford to let Richardson learn from the vet for a year. 4. Indianapolis Colts - QB [Will Levis](=), Kentucky Jay Stein: Drafting the fourth quarterback with the fourth overall pick has to be the worst-case scenario for the Colts, but they have painted themselves into a corner. We know they don't want to be on the veteran carousel anymore, and owner Jim Irsay signaled they would be targeting a quarterback early in the draft. At 6-foot-4 and 229 pounds, Levis is an athletic, toolsy thrower that fits the type of player general manager Chris Ballard looks for and will fit nicely in Shane Steichen's offense. --------------------------------------------------------------- FOOTBALLGUYS PICKS DOMINATE YOUR FRIENDS WITH A FOOTBALLGUYS PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION - Consistently winning at Fantasy Football is hard.

Seattle Seahawks - DE [Will Anderson Jr](=) Jr., Alabama Jeff Bell: The Seahawks have not ranked in the top 10 in total defense since 2016. Outside of [Jamal Adams](), the team has lacked a headlining defensive presence since [Bobby Wagner]( left following 2021. Anderson can change that. The type of versatile pass rusher in the role held by [Bruce Irvin]() and [Frank Clark]() in the past, Anderson immediately becomes a cornerstone presence. 6. Detroit Lions - CB [Christian Gonzalez](, Oregon Jordan McNamara: The Lions struggled mightily in pass coverage last season. This pick matches best player on the board with a team in need of help at cornerback. Gonzalez is a versatile cornerback with big-time athletic tools. 7. Arizona Cardinals - DE [Tyree Wilson](, Texas Tech Trade: The Cardinals get Pick 1.07 and a 2024 first-rounder. The Raiders get Pick 1.03 Gary Davenport: It’s hardly a state secret that the Cardinals need help at every level of the defense, and the most pressing of those needs is a pass rush that managed the ninth-fewest sacks in the NFL last year. Wilson has the size and length to play various roles defensively. While there were some other tempting options available, the 6-foot-6, 271-pounder gets the nod here.
