The NFL Draft is getting closer by the day.
Teams are preparing for the big day, hoping to get all of their scouting done to make the best possible section for the future of their franchise.
This year’s draft class is slated to be loaded with talent at several positions, which could make for an entertaining few days of picks.
As he does every year, Mel Kiper has been putting out mock drafts throughout the offseason.
He recently released his mock draft 3.0, as highlighted by the “Get Up” account on Twitter.
To the surprise of a few fans, Kiper is projecting quarterbacks to be the first three picks.

Caleb Williams has been said to be the No. 1 overall pick of this class for several years, and with the Chicago Bears trading away Justin Fields, he will likely be their selection, pending a surprise.
Kiper also believes Jayden Daniels will join the Washington Commanders, and Drake Maye will join the New England Patriots.
Both teams need a new quarterback, and Daniels and Maye, seen as elite prospects, could instantly impact both teams.
The rest of the top 10 includes three wide receivers, two defensive players, an offensive lineman, and a tight end.
The wide receiver position has become increasingly coveted in the NFL as the league has switched to more pass-friendly.
It will be interesting to see how the draft shakes out and how many of these projected picks come to fruition.
The NFL’s landscape could completely change after this draft, and fans are anxious to see it all unfold.
