The Serby Mock 1.0 gives head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey their quarterback of the future, plus a pair of picks, including the first in the second round, to begin the Jets’ defensive rebuild.
Jaxson Dart, meanwhile, gets a Robin for Malik Nabers’ Batman.
1. Raiders
Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana
The 6-5 Heisman winner‘s Peach Bowl masterpiece should convince minority owner Tom Brady that he gives Brock Bowers a better chance immediately for a second 1,000-yard season than Dante Moore would.
2. Jets
Dante Moore, QB, Oregon
Jets fans were over the moon when GM Joe Douglas and HC Robert Saleh used the second pick of the 2021 NFL Draft on Zach Wilson to replace Sam Darnold. Some of them might have reservations that he isn’t pro-ready. Some of them have recurring nightmares of Peyton Manning opting to remain at Tennessee when HC Bill Parcells held the first overall pick in 1997.
3. Cardinals
Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (Fla.)
A bookend RT is desperately needed for the next coach and quarterback opposite LT Paris Johnson Jr. A 6-6, 315-pound mauler who could end up inside fits the bill.
4. Titans
David Bailey, Edge, Texas A&M
A long-armed 6-3, 250-pound elite pass rush finisher on the rise for a new coach who will need to deal with Trevor Lawrence twice a year.
5. Giants
Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
A 6-3, 195-pound big-play option opposite Nabers for Dart and the new head coach.
6. Browns
Spencer Fano, OT, Utah
An injury-plagued and aging offensive line needs an infusion of fresh blood.
7. Commanders
Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State
Dan Quinn, who was in Dallas when Micah Parsons was the 12th pick, can’t believe this stud is still on the board, and he might not be come Mock 2.0. An explosive hybrid 6-4, 243-pound sideline-to-sideline weapon who can also rush off the edge.
8. Saints
Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
Coach Kellen Moore needs a receiver, but this 6-0, 214-pound difference-maker can help Tyler Shough immensely with Alvin Kamara in decline and in flux.
9. Chiefs
Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State
S Bryan Cook could leave in free agency, and if you know defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, he’d be pounding the table for this culture-changer impact defender.
10. Bengals
Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami (Fla.)
With a divorce from Trey Hendrickson likely this year or next, T. rex arms on a 6-3, 270-pound disruptor can be overlooked.
11. Dolphins
Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
Tyreek Hill will need to be replaced sooner rather than later, and this 6-2, 200-pounder could complement Jaylen Waddle.
12. Cowboys
Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
DaRond Bland (foot) can’t stay healthy, Trevon Diggs is gone, and Malik Nabers returns for Jaxson Dart.
13. Rams
Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
CB Emmanuel Forbes has been a reclamation project revelation, but an upgrade is needed for Ahkello Witherspoon.
14. Ravens
Peter Woods, DT, Clemson
Johnathan Jenkins will be 27 next summer and Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) faces a murky future, so a 6-3, 310-pound run stuffer.
15. Buccaneers
Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
A 6-3, 245-pound red-zone thoroughbred for Baker Mayfield because Cade Otton is a free agent.
16. Jets
Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State
A 6-3, 326-pound monster in the middle to help replace Quinnen Williams.
17. Lions
Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn
A raw 6-6, 285-pound power player with unrefined pass rush skills to bookend Aidan Hutchinson.
18. Vikings
Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
A playmaker with a knack for forcing fumbles who would provide quality depth behind Byron Murphy Jr. and Isaiah Rodgers.
19. Panthers
Sonny Styles, LB Ohio State
A former safety who projects as a 6-4, 243-pound tackling machine.
20. Cowboys
Akheem Mesidor, DE, Miami (Fla.)
He’ll be turning 25, but Jerry Jones is 83 years old, and he wants results now.
21. Steelers
Makai Lemon, WR, USC
A 5-11, 195-pound slot receiver who has drawn comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown and would complement DK Metcalf.
22. Chargers
Kadyn Proctor, OL, Alabama
Jim Harbaugh is obsessed with Road Graders, especially when they are 6-7, 369 pounds, and needs to protect Justin Herbert and replace Mekhi Becton.
23. Eagles
Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
Howie Roseman, the proactive one, recognizes that RT Lane Johnson is 35 and sends this 6-6, 308-pounder to the Jeff Stoutland Offensive Line Academy.
24. Bills
Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Keon Coleman hasn’t panned out as the big receiver, so GM Brandon Beane gets Josh Allen a 6-4, 209-pound target.
25. Bears
J.J. Parker, Edge, Clemson
Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen gets a 6-3, 265-pound pass rusher to bookend Montez Sweat.
26. 49ers
Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia
Kyle Shanahan will say goodbye to Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings is a free agent, so Brock Purdy gets a dynamic 5-10, 180-pound yards after catch weapon with return skills.
27. Texans
Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State
A plug-and-play 6-4, 330-pound bulldozer to open holes for Woody Marks and keep C.J. Stroud safe.
28. Browns
Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon
Joel Bitonio is mulling retirement and Wyatt Teller is a free agent. Someone has to block for Quinshon Judkins and Shedeur Sanders, if he starts for the next head coach.
29. Rams
Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama
Sean McVay needs a quarterback of the future with Matthew Stafford nearing the end.
30. Patriots
R Mason Thomas, Edge, Oklahoma
A 6-2, 249-pounder because Harold Landry and K’Lavon Chaisson need help rushing the passer.
31. Broncos
CJ Allen, LB, Georgia
A driven 6-1, 235-pound leader who played through a hamstring injury since Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad will be free agents.
32. Seahawks
A’Mauri Washington, DT, Oregon
Jarran Reed is 32 and Leonard Williams will be 32 in June, so a 6-3, 330-pound freak for the future.
33. Jets
Brandon Cisse CB, South Carolina
To start the second round, a 6-0, 190-pounder with 4.45 speed who could be an immediate starter at the nickel for Glenn and his next defensive coordinator.
