At this point, I’ll be shocked if Bryce Young starts again for the Panthers — minus an injury to Andy Dalton forcing him back on the field — and general manager Dan Morgan will want to pick his guy at the quarterback position next April. Ward doesn’t have classic top-3 pick natural ability, but he’s gradually improved as a passer and improviser during his long collegiate career.

What the Browns should do and what they will do at quarterback might be two different things — and ownership may very well have something to do with that. In this mock, they elect to pass on a reasonably weak quarterback crop and pick a lockdown box-checking outside cornerback who’s looked like a top-10 selection since his freshman season at Michigan.

At this point, I don’t think the Titans will punt on the Will Levis experiment after his second season. After all, the club’s current general manager drafted him at the top of the second round in 2023. Therefore, they get Levis a young weapon at receiver who can win on the boundary in traffic and create after the catch because of his enormous frame.
