This time, it's four out of five -- so there is some change, but the desire to draft a quarterback for the needy is so strong that it always wins out. <br>The top pick will be USC quarterback Caleb Williams to the <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/CHI/chicago-bears/">Chicago Bears</a>, followed by LSU's Jayden Daniels to the <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/WAS/washington-commanders/">Washington Commanders</a> and then Michigan's J.J. McCarthy to the <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NE/new-england-patriots/">New England Patriots</a>.<br>The next pick is where I make a change from my last mock. I had the <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/ARI/arizona-cardinals/">Arizona Cardinals</a> trading out with Minnesota, but this time I have them staying put and taking Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.<br>The <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/MIN/minnesota-vikings/">Vikings</a> then make a move with the <a class="Annotation-link" href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/LAC/los-angeles-chargers/">Los Angeles Chargers</a> to go up and get North Carolina's Drake Maye, who is said to be the apple of their organizational eyes. The Chargers would get the 11th pick, the 23rd pick, a fourth-rounder this year (129) and a third-rounder next year. If that sounds like too much, it won't be if Maye is their franchise quarterback.<br>As for the Chargers, Jim Harbaugh is taking a team with a good quarterback in <a class="Annotation-link" href="/nfl/players/2221960/justin-herbert/">Justin Herbert</a>, but one with issues at other spots. This way he can improve the roster around Herbert. In this one, they would get Toledo corner Quinyon Mitchell with the 11th pick and LSU receiver Brian Thomas Jr. with the 23rd pick. That would be two outstanding players at positions of need.<br>It makes too much sense. <br>I have two more mocks coming. One is who-they-should mock in a couple of weeks and then my final mock on draft day.<br>Two things you count on for both: Four or five quarterbacks in the first round and plenty of tackles and receivers.<br>For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on <strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/with-the-first-pick-an-nfl-draft-podcast-from-cbs-sports/id1622026887" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">"With the First Pick"</a></strong> -- our year-round <a href="https://cbssports.com/nfl/draft/">NFL Draft</a> podcast with <a href="https://cbssports.com/nfl/draft/">NFL Draft</a> analyst Ryan Wilson and former <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/MIN/minnesota-vikings/">Vikings</a> general manager Rick Spielman.
