Down… set… mock!
It’s time for the annual Los Angeles Times beat-writer mock draft, in which we consult the seasoned reporters who cover their particular NFL team on a daily basis.
There are no trades allowed in this mock, even though there’s sure to be some swapping when the first round of the NFL draft rolls around on Thursday night.
Watch for quarterbacks to disappear off the board quickly — and for runs on wide receivers and offensive tackles.
The Chicago Bears go on the clock at 9 a.m. PDT.
