ESPN Updates NFL Mock Draft For Rounds 1-2 Following The Combine Results

Jordan Reid of ESPN updated his latest NFL Mock Draft for rounds 1 and 2 following the NFL Combine that wrapped up last week.

In his projections, LSU star cornerback Mansoor Delane would go No. 10 overall to the Cincinnati Bengals, and safety A.J. Haulcy would go No. 44 overall to the New York Jets in the 2nd round.

10. Cincinnati Bengals
Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

Delane is my top-rated corner and would be the best defensive player available in this spot. Considering that the Bengals gave up the second-most yards per game and the third-most points per game last season, this pairing makes a lot of sense. Delane is a sticky cover corner who can play man-to-man with ease, but he is equally savvy in zone coverage. With his easy movement, excellent hip mobility and ball skills, he has the potential to be a true No. 1 corner in the NFL.

44. New York Jets (via DAL)
A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU

The Jets haven't drafted a safety in the first two days of the draft since 2020 (Ashtyn Davis). New York didn't record an interception last season and could use a ball hawk such as Haulcy, who recorded 10 interceptions in his college career.
