The Baltimore Ravens went out and made a splash during the trade deadline, adding the talented Roquan Smith to their linebacker corps. This is a kid who is one of the best in the business, so for the Ravens to add him to an already elite defense, it may be a wrap for the AFC North.

Now, going forward, they need to address the wideout spot, and they do so here with Kayshon Boutte from LSU. Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, so keeping him happy is paramount, which is why adding Boutte to this offense makes a lot of sense.

The Kansas City Chiefs remain one of the best teams in the NFL, and when all is said and done, we may be in for a playoff rematch between them and Buffalo, this time to go to the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes remains elite even without Tyreek Hill, so look for them to be one of the last teams standing at the end of this.

On defense, the Chiefs could use some help on the edges, and Nolan Smith from Georgia is a kid who could end up being a top-15 pick. However, he is still available in this mock, and if I were the Chiefs, I would run to the podium with him as the selection.
