‘Tis the season for spandex jumpsuits, drills that have nothing to do with football, and strange questions none of us have ever been asked at a job interview.

Yes, it’s NFL Scouting Combine week, and while this year’s draft hopefuls are preparing to jump through an endless number of hoops to prove themselves to league decision-makers, it’s time to add another mock draft to an ever-growing heap.

With compensatory picks recently announced, here’s my latest attempt at projecting what the first four rounds of the 2018 NFL draft could look like.

FIRST ROUND

The Browns spent a second-round pick on DeShone Kizer last year, but a new general manager usually prefers to hand-pick his own franchise quarterback. If John Dorsey does just that, Darnold makes the most sense in terms of physical tools, upside and “it” factor.

2. New York Giants | Saquon Barkley | RB | Penn State

I’m not convinced new general manager Dave Gettlemen will opt for Eli Manning’s eventual replacement here. Instead, I see the Giants giving Manning as much help as possible, and in this scenario, that comes in the form of a rare talent and three-down weapon in Barkley.

There’s a huge need for a pass-rusher, so Bradley Chubb would make plenty of sense here, too. But protecting Andrew Luck and setting him up for success (once he’s fully healthy) is the prime objective in Indy, and Nelson is arguably the best overall prospect in this class.

After getting their franchise quarterback with the top overall pick, the Browns turn their attention to their need for a playmaker on the back end of the defense. Fitzpatrick’s versatility will allow him to line up anywhere in the secondary, and the Browns have needs at both corner and safety that he could immediately upgrade.

The Broncos could be big players in the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes, but if they lose out to another team, they become a prime destination for one of this year’s top quarterback prospects. Injury concerns could keep Rosen from being the first quarterback off the board, but he’s as polished and pro-ready as any passer in this year’s deep class.

6. New York Jets | Baker Mayfield | QB | Oklahoma

This team desperately needs a true franchise quarterback, and just pure playmaking potential on offense, in any form. While Mayfield may not be the prototypical NFL quarterback, he has all the tools to be a successful starter at the next level, and the fiery competitiveness New York fans should quickly fall in love with.

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Bradley Chubb | EDGE | North Carolina State

This is a perfect match of need and value for the Bucs, who are in desperate need of an impact edge rusher like Chubb. This year’s class is weak at the position overall, and Chubb is the kind of complete player who would be a steal outside the top five. Even if they add a veteran in free agency, they should pounce on Chubb if he’s on the board here.

The bigger needs are at receiver and corner, but the value just isn’t there at either position in this scenario. Instead, the Bears opt for the upside of Edmunds, who at just 19 years old, has a rare combination of size, athleticism and versatility that could make him an impact player on the edge or off the ball.

9. San Francisco 49ers | Josh Jackson | CB | Iowa

Don’t be surprised if the 49ers make a strong push for a top free-agent corner like Trumaine Johnson or Malcolm Butler. But if they miss out on both, Jackson could be a stellar consolation prize. With ideal size, athleticism and ball skills, Jackson has all the tools to be a big-time playmaker at the next level.

One of many defenses that need upgrades at every level, the Raiders need a player who can transform the identity of the entire unit. Smith has the passion and playing style to do just that, with his impressive blend of athleticism, physicality and instincts.
