Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett was the first quarterback off the board in a mock draft conducted by a panel of NFL Network experts, including Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Rhett Lewis played the role of Carolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer and selected Pickett with the No. 6 overall pick.
Three other QBs were projected to land in the first round: Malik Willis (No. 20 to the Pittsburgh Steelers), Desmond Ridder (No. 26 to the Tennessee Titans) and Sam Howell (No. 32 to the Detroit Lions).
Jeremiah selected Michigan edge-rusher Aidan Hutchinson first overall for the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Brooks took Georgia defensive standout Travon Walker at No.
