OK … someone has to take Caleb Williams. And the only things I could come up with would be the Cardinals trading up to No. 1 and sending Chicago Kyler Murray or the Packers trading up to No. 1 and giving up Jordan Love. But none of those are actually realistic. Congrats Bears fans, you are untrollable for the next several months and maybe much longer if Williams is actually as good as advertised.

There was legitimate buzz about McCarthy going second overall, based largely on the premise he’s a higher-end version of Brock Purdy, who Commanders GM Adam Peters helped acquire in San Francisco.

This might be enjoyable for Giants fans but unfortunately in this case they gave up a future first-round draft pick to move just two spots up and grab another ACC quarterback, with multiple quarterbacks sitting there ahead of them at No. 6.

The entire world has penciled the Cardinals in for a wide receiver and that’s fair, but they still need a ton of help on defense and could decide to address WR in the second round if they miss on MHJ.

The Titans have hyped up Will Levis a lot this offseason but he’s a second-round pick. There’s no guarantee a new coaching regime wouldn’t draft over him if the reigning Heisman Trophy winner fell in their laps.

It’s kind of difficult to troll the Bears, but passing on Rome Odunze to pair with Caleb Williams or grabbing an OL to protect the QB at nine is probably the closest thing.

With Thomas coming off the board, David Tepper panics and trades both of his second-round picks to the Rams to move up into the first round and guarantee he gets a wide receiver. So the Rams still haven’t used a first-round pick since 2016 (Jared Goff!) and Carolina is giving up tons of draft picks to get the back end of a wide receiver run. EVERYONE LOSES!

The most troll thing would be taking a QB, but I don’t think they’ll realistically do that in the first round … this is actually a pretty good pick maybe? Sometimes you run out of troll steam halfway through the troll draft.
