NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his fourth and final mock draft on Wednesday evening.
Of note, Jeremiah projected the Houston Texans to select Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud at No. 2 overall before moving up from No. 12 to No. 3 with the Arizona Cardinals for Alabama edge-rusher Will Anderson Jr.
Here's a look at the entire first round of picks alongside some notes on the selections.

Texans Get QB and Top Defensive Player
The common refrain leading into the first round of this year's draft has been that the action will start at No. 2 with Alabama's Bryce Young widely assumed to go No. 1 to the Carolina Panthers.
The Texans need a long-term solution at quarterback and some defensive help as well. In this case, Jeremiah sees the Texans dealing No. 12, a second-rounder, a third-rounder and a 2024 third-rounder to the Cardinals to move up nine spots.
EDGE and CB Dominate Round 1
Jeremiah sees five edge-rushers going in Round 1, including three in the top 10 led by Anderson to the Texans at No. 3. He also has six cornerbacks going in the top 25, with two in the top seven.
It's abundantly clear which defensive positions are valued the most in today's pass-happy NFL as evidenced by this mock. We could even see some of these players going earlier. For example, it's very possible that Texas Tech edge-rusher Tyree Wilson, who Jeremiah has going to the Chicago Bears at No. 9, slots as high as No. 2 to Houston. Peter Schrager of Fox Sports notably has Wilson ending up with the Texans.
Anthony Richardson Falls to No. 20
A core four of quarterbacks separated itself from the pack this year in Young, Stroud, Kentucky's Will Levis and Florida's Anthony Richardson. Many mocks have that quartet going in the top 10.
In this case, though, we see Richardson sliding all the way down to No. 20 to the Seattle Seahawks, who would presumably have him back up veteran Geno Smith before he's ready to take over someday. Still, it's interesting to note that numerous teams potentially in need of a quarterback (e.g., the Atlanta Falcons, the Tennessee Titans) passed on Richardson here.
