Earlier this week ESPN’s Matt Miller went big and did a full seven round mock draft. Most will do the first round, two rounds, maybe three if you’re lucky. But Miller went for it all and projected every pick of this NFL draft.

This is expected to be a big draft for the Oregon Ducks. Dan Lanning seemingly has a chance at double digit picks in this draft with Derrick Harmon looking like the potential top pick for the Ducks.

In Miller’s mock draft, he ends up with ten Oregon players drafted in the seven rounds. Oregon could potentially have 7 players drafted in rounds 4 and 5 according to Miller. Here is a look at his projections.

Round 1: Pick 27 – Baltimore Ravens

DL Derrick Harmon

The Ravens fell short of the Super Bowl again and have been quiet this offseason — veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was their highlight addition. Baltimore needs youth and upgrades on both sides of the ball in the draft, and Harmon would give it a defensive tackle with the versatility to play 5-technique and kick inside as a pass rusher. He has a violent first step and arrives to the ball with aggressiveness. Harmon is big enough (6-5, 313 pounds) to stack blockers but also has the quickness to knife into gaps and make plays. He was a second-team All-American this past season, registering five sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss. He would fit well with the Ravens’ scheme as a 5-technique who can work up and down a defensive line.

Round 2, Pick 38 – New England Patriots

OL Josh Conerly

Conerly was a running back in high school, so he still has room for growth and improvement. But he was a top-flight Big Ten left tackle this past season and would fill a massive need for the Patriots. Conerly is still developing his lower-body strength, but his agility in pass protection and overall poise give him upside and help to project him as a solid left tackle in the future.

Round 3, Pick 79 – Houston Texans

TE Terrance Ferguson

Tight end Dalton Schultz saw his production drop in 2024, so the Texans could make a move for the pass-catching Ferguson, who is ready to play right away.

Round 4, Pick 103 – Tennessee Titans

DE/DL Jordan Burch

Round 4, Pick 131 – New Orleans Saints

RB Jordan James

Round 4, Pick 137 – Seattle Seahawks

DL Ja’Maree Caldwell

Round 5, Pick 155 – Miami Dolphins

OT Ajani Cornelius

Round 5, Pick 165 – Philadelphia Eagles

WR Tez Johnson

Round 5, Pick 170 – Buffalo Bills

LB Jeffrey Bassa

Round 5, Pick 172 – Seattle Seahawks

QB Dillon Gabriel
