Game of Thrones NFL mock draft: Top prospects in Westeros and beyond

1. The Night King, QB, ???

Look at that arm strength. NFL fans can talk about Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen being able to sling the pigskin all they want, but give me the Night King in that contest 100 times out of 100. He clearly has the arm talent to make any throw on the field. More impressive, though, the Night King has shown pinpoint accuracy with his throws, highlighting his ability to not only heave the ball down the field, but to fit his passes into tight windows to make big plays.

On top of that, you can’t question the toughness of the Night King. He’s not exceptionally mobile, but he has a unique ability to just not be taken down easily, even when there’s pressure. And while he’s not a vocal leader, he can raise everyone around him to near his level (see the battle at Hardhome) and his teammates follow him with unwavering dedication. He’s the quarterback that any NFL team would bet the farm on.

2. Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane, OT, Qyburn’s Lab

There are undeniable questions about what kind of performance-enhancing drugs Qyburn pumped into Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane after his near career (and life) ending injury suffered while fighting Oberyn Martell in Tyrion’s trial by combat. While that may be true, if you just look at the physical force that The Mountain is, it’s hard not to be confident in putting him out on the field and letting him protect a team’s greatest asset at quarterback.

The Mountain has near unmatched size and strength up front and can bully anyone in the trenches, even high-caliber NFL athletes. While his flexibility and athleticism are in question to a degree following his revival by the hands of Qyburn, we have still seen his ability to protect at a high level, and do so with a mean streak. Clegane has no problem getting nasty when doing his job, which makes him a potential star on the offensive line.
