Bryan Manning and Ivan Lambert take turns selecting every other player in their annual Commanders Wire NFL Mock draft.
This draft will cover only the first round, and note there will be only 31 selections (not the usual 32) as the NFL ruled that Miami must forfeit their 2023 first-round selection and their 2024 third-round selection as a result of an NFL investigation that concluded Miami violated the league’s policy regarding the integrity of each NFL game.
We realize there will no doubt be trades made Thursday night, but seeing no one has any idea how many or where, we determined to simply make the choices for the teams in their assigned draft position as teams enter the draft Thursday night.
