Our second mock draft reflects some player developments of the past week – J.J. Watt’s signing with the Cardinals, Ben Roethlisberger’s contract resolution with the Steelers, A.J. Bouye’s release by the Broncos.
There will be plenty more to come, which will affect future mocks.
And that’s why we’ll post a new mock every Friday leading up to the April 29 draft.
Things change from week to week as costly players are dumped overboard to create salary cap room and new ones are added in free agency, starting March 17.
After free agency starts, we’ll take a stab at a mock draft involving trades.
