NFL mock draft, top 10 picks: Raiders’ Week 16 win creates early QB chaos

New York Times  

Logjams in the NFL standings don’t last forever, and the Raiders have blinked first. New York Giants: Cam Ward, QB, Miami It’s certainly possible the Giants favor Shedeur Sanders, but I gave them Ward here in part to highlight that we don’t really have a consensus QB1 right now. New England Patriots: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado New England feels like the best overall fit for Hunter, for many reasons, including that corner might be the Patriots’ top draft need at the moment. Las Vegas Raiders : Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado Ameer Abdullah’s game-winning TD Sunday did some real damage to Las Vegas’ shot at an easy path to a new QB in this draft. This week, we’re sticking with the run game as a top need for Cleveland — because it is, one way or another.
