ESPN's Todd McShay releases updated first-round NFL Mock Draft

The NFL Draft is closer than ever, with the league’s annual restocking of rosters set to take place at the end of April. That still leaves plenty of time for NFL mock drafts, and ESPN analyst Todd McShay released his latest on Tuesday.

ESPN aired the first round of McShay’s NFL mock draft in a SportsCenter special on ESPN2 on Tuesday evening, discussing some of the pros and cons of McShay’s projections.

He had a very quarterback-heavy top of the first round, with five quarterbacks taken in the first 23 picks.

Perhaps most interestingly, McShay projects the Indianapolis Colts trading up to secure their quarterback, taking Florida‘s Anthony Richardson at No. 3 after Ohio State‘s CJ Stroud and Alabama‘s Bryce Young went off the board with the first two picks.
