Brooks argues Sonny Styles submitted themselves as a top-ten player and calls it a lock they go inside the top ten, with Washington at 7 and Cincinnati at 8 as natural landing spots. They also lock Caleb Banks into the first round, and says Malaki Lawrence may go earlier than expected. They predict Brandon Sees can lock in a first-round spot if they test well.Mock Draft Picks · 4 calls
