CBS Sports released their latest NFL mock draft, and it’s a doozy. With interesting selections throughout, CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli stated that this is one of the toughest drafts to predict since he got into the business.

“I’ve only been doing mock drafts at CBSSports.com for the last few seasons, but I’ve been doing them in my brain forever, and I’m having a hard time remembering the last time I’ve had this much uncertainty in my mind about how the top of the draft will go,” wrote Fornelli. “There is no clear-cut No. 1 prospect in this class. At least, not from the consensus perspective.”

Moreover, Fornelli got bold in his iteration — predicting a huge trade between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets. Here’s the latest CBS Sports mock draft with Super Bowl 56 firmly in the rearview.
