The excitement of March Madness bracket fills is matched by the thrill of creating a mock draft, which allows fans to envision how their favorite teams might approach the NFL draft. While the outcomes may not align perfectly with reality, a mock draft certainly provides valuable insights into team needs and potential trading scenarios.

In this particular mock draft, no trades were factored in, suggesting that teams were content with their current position. Notably, the New York Giants secured a player rumored to challenge quarterback Daniel Jones this season, satisfying their reported interest. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings capitalized on their patience and managed to select a quarterback with the 11th overall pick.

The Buffalo Bills, who recently traded Stefon Diggs, a top wide receiver, remained at their position but were still able to choose one of the draft's standout receivers, showcasing their astute decision-making despite the loss.

While it remains uncertain if the actual draft will follow this exact trajectory, one thing is certain: quarterbacks will be in high demand on the opening night. Numerous teams are seeking to address their quarterback needs, promising an intriguing evening of selections.
