You asked for it—well, at least I think you did: a way-too-early mock draft. A few disclaimers: This mock draft is not based on our own evaluations, but based on conversations with scouts and team personnel for this column.

Many team scouting directors haven’t seen even half of the top players yet; in fact, several evaluators laughed out loud at the idea of a mock draft in October.
