One of the more reliable NFL mock drafters out there is NFL.com NFL media analyst Daniel Jeremiah. He’s been doing it for a long time and is one of the more well-respected analysts out there.

His latest first round mock draft includes two Oregon Ducks among his 32 predictions. Most expect offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. to be listed in the first round. His stock has exploded in the last month and he’s consistently being graded out as a late first round pick.

In Jeremiah’s draft he has Conerly going No. 26 to the Los Angeles Rams.

“I’m still getting used to seeing the Rams make picks in the first round after their seven-draft gap from 2017 to 2023! The team pored resources into the defensive line in the last draft. They flip the script and take care of the offensive line in the first round this year.”

Next up and not long after, Jeremiah predicts defensive tackle Derrick Harmon going to the Buffalo Bills at pick No. 30.

“Harmon is a very disruptive player at a deep position in this year’s class. He could fill a void with Austin Johnson among the Bills defensive linemen due to hit free agency this offseason.”

The NFL draft is set to begin Thursday, April 24. The first round will draft only on that Thursday night.
