Mock draft moves: Day‑after sketches
Post‑free‑agency mock drafts are circling with one updated first‑round projection putting the Eagles on EDGE TJ Parker at No. 23, the Browns taking WR Makai Lemon at 24, the Chiefs grabbing WR KC Concepcion at 29 and the Seahawks picking RB Jonah Coleman at 32 ( ). Those sketches reflect big shifts in team priorities after two weeks of free agency and are already shaping pre‑combine trade chatter (x.com).
A fresh wave of post–free‑agency, pre‑Combine mock drafts from outlets including ESPN and Sports Illustrated arrived this week, explicitly recalibrating first‑round fits after the first negotiation window and the Combine testing period. (espn.com) Kansas City’s roster moves — including the deal that moved Trent McDuffie and produced an extra late‑first‑round pick — have prompted PFF and other analysts to list additional pass‑catchers as realistic fits for the Chiefs with that newfound draft capital. (fansided.com) Analysts such as Mel Kiper Jr. and SI noted Cleveland’s offseason positioning and the overall receiver depth chart when suggesting the Browns remain a plausible landing spot for a developmental wideout in the back half of Round 1. (espn.com) Several outlets report that Clemson edge prospect T.J. Parker’s Combine measurements and drills materially bumped his standing on updated boards, explaining why he reappeared in first‑round projections after the testing window. (sports.yahoo.com) Seattle’s front office has hosted Washington running back Jonah Coleman on a pre‑draft visit, a concrete sign the Seahawks are actively weighing early‑round running back options as they finalize their draft board following free‑agency changes. (si.com) The refreshed post‑free‑agency mock slate has accelerated pre‑Combine trade chatter — ESPN’s Combine buzz reporting and FantasyPros’ trade‑included mock both show analysts folding potential swaps into first‑round scenarios ahead of pro days and interviews.
