When we do mock drafts, the idea is to try and put players into spots where we think they will go.
But I also like to do a mock of what teams should do. I put myself into the general manager roles of all the teams to try and play out the first round, with fits, team needs, and value all coming into play.
Last year in my who-they-should take mock, I had Justin Herbert going to the Miami Dolphins in the fifth spot because I thought he was a better player than Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins wished they had made that decision as of right now. Maybe they won't say it, but it's true after 2020.
The same thought process is in play with this who-they-should draft mock as I have Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields going to the New York Jets in the second spot. I just think he is a tad better prospect than Zach Wilson from BYU, who goes third to the 49ers in this exercise.
I also have Mac Jones and Trey Lance falling down here, even though it appears one of them will actually go to the 49ers in the third spot in the real draft.
But this is a who-they-should-take mock -- my idea of the best picks for all 32 spots.
It's not every day I get to play GM for all the teams. OK, I lied. I do that every single day of the year.
