How this mock is built

The Parlae Desk's mock draft: our projection, updated every Tuesday.

  • The order is the standings as they stand today, worst record first.
  • Each team's needs come from its own numbers: passer rating, yards a carry, sacks for and against, run and pass defense, takeaways, and the snap shares on our depth charts.
  • The board ranks every draft-eligible junior and senior in major college football by this season's production at his position, with credit for a Power Four schedule; each position starts from a ceiling that reflects how early the league drafts it.
  • Each team takes the prospect with the best grade once its biggest needs are counted. Offensive linemen leave no individual line in a box score, so they are not on the board.

Nothing here is a scouting report. Every stat is from the games played; the order of the board and the fit of a prospect to a team are our projection and change as the season does.

He is the 1st cornerback on our board, and the next cornerback on our board is Ta'Shawn James of UCLA, 4.2 points back; the better grade left, Colin Simmons (edge rusher, Texas), fills a smaller need here. At 6' 1", 200 lbs, the junior (draft-eligible if he declares) starts outside from his first game.

    3: Darian Mensah to the Buccaneers at 6th, Julian Sayin to the Falcons at 12th, Josh Hoover to the Broncos at 25th.
