Inaugural BZ Mock Draft Challenge

[DraftBoy]

Welcome to the inaugural BZ Mock Draft challenge. This idea is taken from The Huddle Report who has been scoring mock draft from draft analysts for over a decade now.

The rules are simple:
-Post a first round mock draft into this thread by the time the Carolina Panthers officially go on the clock on Thursday night
-It's your first round mock draft so if you think there will be a trade then feel free to project it
-Please post your mock draft is the following format: Pick Number, Team Name - Position, Player Name (Ex. 1. Carolina - QB Bryce Young)
-Each pick can earn up to 4 points

The scoring system:
1 Point - Team is projected to correct draft slot
1 Point - Team selects the position (QB, RB, DE, etc.) that you mock
2 Points - Team selects the player you mock

Example:
Mock - 1. Carolina - QB Bryce Young
Draft - 1. Carolina - QB Bryce Young
Score: 4 Points - Draft Slot (1), Position (1), and Player (2)

Example 2:
Mock - 2. Houston - QB CJ Stroud
Draft - 2. Houston - QB Anthony Richardson
Score: 2 Points - Draft Slot (1), Position (1)

The winner will get a year of bragging rights for having the best mock in the BZ. Maybe if we're feeling fancy we'll even create a badge for you to show off to all your friends and family.

With that said, happy mocking!

I honestly think the Bills are going to make some kind of trade along with quite a few other teams, but I just don't know how to predict or project trades for these mocks.

Buffalo drafting a TE instead of moving back was the difference.
