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.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars: QB Trevor Lawrence, Clemson

Go ahead and write this in with a Sharpie. It won’t change.

Last time: Lawrence.

2. New York Jets: QB Zach Wilson, Brigham Young

GM Joe Douglas hung ‘for sale’ sign this week around neck of Sam Darnold.

Last time: Wilson.

3. Miami Dolphins: WR Ja’Marr Chase, LSU

Apt surname because NFL corners will be chasing him down the field.

Last time: Chase.

4. Atlanta Falcons: TE Kyle Pitts, Florida

The reinvention of Atlanta’s offense under new coach Arthur Smith demands a play-making tight end.

Last time: Justin Fields.

5. Cincinnati Bengals: OT Penei Sewell, Oregon

Pairing him with 2019 No. 1 left tackle Jonah Williams would help keep Joe Burrow ambulatory.

Last time: Sewell.

6. Philadelphia Eagles: WR DeVonta Smith, Alabama

The Eagles need to provide Jalen Hurts a game-breaker.

Last time: Smith.

7. Detroit Lions: LB Micah Parsons, Penn State

New coach Dan Campbell takes a guy to bite the kneecap off a ball-carrier.

Last time: Jaylen Waddle.

8. Carolina Panthers: QB Justin Fields, Ohio State

Failing to trade up, Panthers stay pat and land the quarterback they wanted.

Last time: Trey Lance.

9. Denver Broncos: CB Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech

CB1 makes most sense for under-radar Vic Fangio defense.

Last time: Farley.

10. Dallas Cowboys: CB Patrick Surtain, Alabama

That defense! Yech!

Last time: Rashawn Slater.

11.New York Giants: WR Jaylen Waddle, Alabama

Last time: Mayfield.

25.Jacksonville Jaguars: S Trevon Moehrig, Texas Christian

Last time: Moehrig.

26. Cleveland Browns: DE Jaelen Phillips, Miami

If he’s medically cleared of past concussion issues, he’s the right complement to Myles Garrett.

Last time: Tyson Campbell.
