Previous mock drafts: 1.0 | 2.0

1. New York Giants — Cam Ward, QB, Miami

Ward seeks explosive plays and will bring a calmness to the QB position, both traits that have been desperately missing in recent years in New York. Ward has things to clean up, namely his heat check moments that can get him in trouble, but pairing Ward with the electric Malik Nabers would bring explosive plays in bunches even as Ward continues to refine his game. — Nate Tice

2. New England Patriots
