AFC East

Buffalo Bills

  • 30 – Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina: A great choice for a team that needs to improve its secondary depth. Revel brings elite physicality and speed, making him a potential starter on day one. Revel has had an injury history and is from somewhat of a small school but this is a home-run potential addition for a Buffalo secondary that needs a talented outside corner.
  • 56 – Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina: Kennard adds pass-rush potential which the Bills need to boost their defensive line rotation opposite of Greg Rousseau. His ability to disrupt the quarterback could be a major asset if Buffalo can develop the super productive South Carolina edge rusher.
  • 62 – Andrew Mukuba, S, Clemson: Adding depth to the safety position, Mukuba is a versatile player who can cover ground in both the passing and run games, offering a balance to Buffalo’s defense. Once viewed as a 1st round talent for Clemson, he very well could reach that potential on a competitive teams defense like Buffalo.

Miami Dolphins

  • 13 – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina: A dynamic safety with great size and playmaking ability. Nick is the highest rated athlete of all time at the safety position according to RAS. Nick is an extremely versatile defensive back that could reform and define a defense for years to come. The Dolphins have Kendall Fuller, JeVon Holland, and Kader Kohou leaving in free agency as well as Jalen Ramsey aging. Adding an elite prospect in the secondary like Nick is a crucial move that Miami needs to make.
  • 48 – Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia: With the Dolphins looking to improve their offensive line, Ratledge provides a potential immediate upgrade at guard. His power in the run game and ability in pass protection are key strengths. Tate is one of the highest rated athlete at guard of all time with refined fundamentals as a Georgia product.
  • 98 – Ty Robinson, DT, Nebraska: Robinson gives Miami a strong interior presence to stop the run and add depth to their defensive line. His motor and ability to clog up the middle can help solidify the defense in a much needed way with multiple interior linemen facing free agency.

New England Patriots

  • 4 – Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado: A one of a kind dual threat athlete with elite ballhawking skills. He will be best suited as a playmaking corner majority snaps but can also serve as a fantastic weapon on offense for Drake Maye.
  • 38 – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall: A 1st round talent that slid due to a great top heavy edge class. The Patriots are badly lacking pass rush production and Green would be an immediate impact player to help solve that. Having Green opposite of Keion White makes for an extremely talented young pass rushing due for the Patriots to develop after moving on from Matthew Judon last season.
  • 69 – Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue: Mbow offers high upside as a developmental tackle, or potential day 1 starter at guard. With a young developing QB the offensive line is a critical position that the Patriots need to address. Mbow’s athleticism and versatility could make him a starter very early in his 1st year for New England.
  • 77 – DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State: Giddens brings a well-rounded skill set, capable of contributing both in the running game and as a receiving back. Rhamondre Stevenson has had great moments but overall isn’t a star back you want to be a workhorse, especially considering his fumble issues. Giddens provides a great change of pace player in the backfield that could very quickly take over as the top guy in the backfield.

New York Jets

  • 7 – Will Campbell, OT, LSU: The best offensive tackle in the nation goes to the Jets. With Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses both facing free agency adding a day 1 starter at OT is a must for the Jets if they want to provide better protection for their QB of the future.
  • 42 – Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss: Nolen adds another big body to the interior defensive line that could provide elite pass rush ability next to Quennin Williams. With Javon Kinlaw leaving in free agency the Jets fill a hole while selecting the best player available.
  • 92 – Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami (FL): Arroyo could be an excellent target with his athleticism and catch radius for a new starting quarterback. Adding a dynamic weapon as a safety valve would help the Jets’ offense as they look to improve their pass catchers despite losing Tyler Conklin to free agency.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

  • 27 – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State: Baltimore adds an immediate upgrade to their offensive line. Simmons’ athleticism and pass protection skills will help protect Lamar Jackson as they have multiple starters across their offensive line set to hit free agency including left tackle Ronnie Stanley.
  • 59 – Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas: Bond adds speed and versatility to the wide receiver corps for Baltimore. He can stretch the field vertically, creating more opportunities for Jackson in the passing game. Having a trio of Bond, Zay Flowers, and Rashod Bateman may form the best young receiver corps of Lamar’s career.
  • 91 – Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson: A great pick for the linebacker position, Carter can contribute right away as a sideline-to-sideline defender. His versatility and coverage skills will be an asset to Baltimore’s defense if they can develop the top tier athletic profile alongside Roquan Smith.

Cincinnati Bengals

  • 17 – Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama: Alex Cappa allowed the most hurries, pressures, and sacks in the league next year. The Bengals top priority for years now has been to keep Burrow upright and players like this is how that happens. Booker bolsters the Bengals’ offensive line providing a blue chip prospect sure to be great at the next level.
  • 49 – Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State: The Bengals add depth to their secondary with Porter, a physical corner with an elite athletic profile. His addition can improve the pass defense which heavily struggled for Cincinnati last season. Porter may have limited development being 24 years old already, however he is a fantastic win now addition for the Bengals.
  • 81 – Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green: A potential star receiving tight end for Burrow to take advantage of. Fannin adds depth to the tight end room with fantastic production. With Mike Gesicki entering free agency Harold would be an immediate contributor to the high power offense.

Cleveland Browns

  • 2 – Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State: A top tier pass rusher who can create immediate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Abdul Carter very well may be the best overall player in the entire draft. Pairing Carter alongside Myles Garrett is pure nightmare fuel for opposing quarterbacks as Carter and Garrett would form likely the best edge duo in the league.
  • 33 – Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss: DeShaun Watson has time and time again proven to not be a starting caliber quarterback. The Browns may have passed on Shedeur Sanders with the 2nd pick but they get the future of the franchise with the first pick in the 2nd round. Dart is a class leader, motivator, and winner with all of the athletic qualities you could ask for from your quarterback.
  • 67 – Cameron Skattebo, RB, Arizona State: Skattebo brings a solid combination of power and vision, helping provide depth behind Nick Chubb. His all-around skill set could see him contributing in various ways. Chubb clearly isn’t the same as he used to be so Skattebo brings some much needed juice to Cleveland’s backfield.
  • 94 – Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon: With Elijah Moore hitting free agency and a receiver room that could use an upgrade, the Browns add Tez Johnson to come in as an immediate playmaker.

Pittsburgh Steelers

  • 21 – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas: The Steelers could use a star cornerback opposite of Joey Porter Jr. Barron is a top tier prospect with elite coverage ability and versatility in the secondary. Adding Barron continues the trend of elite defenses in Pittsburgh.
  • 52 – Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa: With Najee Harris entering free agency the Steelers grab another great ground and pound back in Kaleb. Pairing him with Jaylen Warren makes for a 1-2 punch that could define the Steelers offense moving forward.
  • 83 – Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas: With both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields set to hit free agency the Steelers could add another quarterback. Quinn Ewers is an extremely underrated prospect with a rocket arm and stellar improvisation ability. If the Steelers can get the best out of Ewers he could return to the talent that was once the top recruit in the country.

AFC South

Houston Texans

  • 25 – Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon: Harmon adds size and power to the Texans’ interior defensive line that is severely lacking. Adding an elite athlete at defensive tackle will make the jobs of Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. far easier, opening up countless opportunities to get in the backfield.
  • 58 – Jonah Savaiinaea, OL, Arizona: Savaiinaea gives the Texans a future anchor for their offensive line that can play OT or preferably OG, which they desperately need to improve to protect their young quarterback.
  • 89 – Savion Williams, WR, TCU: A big-bodied, physical receiver with the ability to make plays downfield. His size and strength complement the Texans’ current receivers which outside of Nico Collins lack size. Williams is an extremely versatile prospect with an intriguing athletic profile comparable to Chase Claypool.

Indianapolis Colts

  • 14 – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State: An elite talent at tight end sure to be a great player for the Colts. Adding a talent like Warren would help define how Anthony Richardson succeeds in what is likely a prove it year for the young signal caller.
  • 45 – Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame: A ball-hawking safety, Watts will add depth to the secondary and improve the Colts’ ability to cover the pass. Julian Blackmon is set to hit free agency so adding a stellar player in the back of the secondary would be a massive gain for the Colts defense.
  • 80 – Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia: Ryan Kelly and Will Fries are both set to hit free agency on the interior of the Colts offensive line. Adding a strong pass blocker like Fairchild should be a priority for the Colts this offseason.

Jacksonville Jaguars

  • 5 – Mason Graham, DT, Michigan: Graham may be the safest prospect in the class. He is an extraordinary defensive tackle whom I see as generational for the position. Graham is a blue chip player with elite production from one of the best schools in the country. Overall James Gladstone makes a safe pick on a player that has Hall of Fame written all over him.
  • 36 – Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame: The Jaguars had the worst ranking secondary in the entire league last season. Benjamin Morrison very well could be a 1st round prospect at corner and would immediately slot in outside opposite of Tyson Campbell. Addressing cornerback should be Jacksonville’s biggest priority this offseason and they believe to have gotten a steal with Morrison.
  • 70 – Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State: Jaylin Noel has been one of the largest risers in the entire class this offseason. Noel was a very productive receiver at Iowa State but has somewhat been overshadowed as a prospect by Jayden Higgins. Noel may actually be the better prospect of the two though and could easily be a star at the next level. Noel is a fantastic route runner with good burst and speed that can be a versatile weapon on any offense. With Christian Kirk subject to being cut or released Noel could potentially be a key starter along with Brian Thomas Jr. for Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen to take advantage of.
  • 88 – Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State: With Andre Cisco hitting free agency, the Jaguars continue adding to the secondary with the freak athlete out of Penn State. Kevin dealt with injuries last season but is a quality player if healthy that could become a star in Jacksonville’s new defense.

Tennessee Titans

  • 1 – Cameron Ward, QB, Miami (FL): Will Levis is clearly not the answer in Tennessee and it seems like Cam Ward is the top guy on the Titans board. So the Titans go through and snag the strong armed quarterback out of Miami to set off the new regime in Nashville.
  • 35 – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota: Ersery very well could be a 1st round pick but slides to the Titans to play opposite of JC Latham. Having a new franchise quarterback, the biggest priority should be to ensure he is protected, moves like this is how to ensure that.

AFC West

Denver Broncos

  • 20 – Matthew Golden, WR, Texas: Golden gives Denver a speedy playmaker with great upside and arguably the best route runner in the draft class. Golden is a blazing receiver running a 4.3 40 yard dash, the fastest of the combine at his position. Adding playmakers like Golden is how to ensure Bo Nix continues building off of an extremely strong rookie year.
  • 51 – TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State: The Broncos backfield was one of the most lackluster in the league, and with Javonte Williams leaving is only going backwards. Bringing in TreVeyon immediately turns that around as he is a explosive runner that could make a big play at any moment. With Henderson as the speedy home run guy and Audric Estime as the power back the Broncos suddenly have an extremely young and talented backfield duo.
  • 85 – Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon: The Broncos continue loading up on weapons to help Bo Nix reach his ceiling. Denver could use a tight end an they reunite Nix with his former Oregon safety valve while addressing that need. Ferguson is a strong handed playmaker that can stretch the field and provide a quality chain mover for Denver.

Kansas City Chiefs

  • 31 – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State: With Marquise Brown and DeAndre Hopkins set to hit free agency, along with Rashee Rice facing suspension and battling injuries last season, the Chiefs deem it smart to go after another top tier pass catcher. Emeka is a fluid route runner that should be a star player at the next level. Ultimately having a receiver trio of Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Emeka makes for a truly elite surrounding offense for Patrick Mahomes.
  • 63 – Tyliek Williams, DT, Ohio State: A disruptive force in the interior, Williams will help Kansas City’s defense improve at stopping the run and creating pressure on the middle of the defense immediately. Having a top prospect like Tyliek to develop alongside Chris Jones would be wise for the Chiefs longterm.
  • 66 – Mason Taylor, TE, LSU: Taylor is one of the most intriguing prospects in the draft. LSU’s best tight end of all time leading the school in career receptions and yards, as well as single season receptions and yards. Despite LSU not valuing the tight end position, Taylor still carved out a large role with great production and has looked elite all offseason while isolated from scheme. Taylor is a fluid route runner and one of the best receiving threats in the class who would develop into a superstar behind Travis Kelce.
  • 95 – Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU: After several failed projects at edge rusher, the Chiefs go back to the drawing board yet again with Bradyn Swinson. A fantastic build at defensive end with good production and athleticism that the Chiefs could take advantage of to develop as a long term starter opposite of George Karlaftis.

Las Vegas Raiders

  • 6 – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona: The Raiders wide receiver room is extremely lackluster after losing Davante Adams to the Jets. After losing out on the top quarterback prospects they grab the top receiver in the draft and look to add one later. McMillan is a massive receiver with absurd production who could be a superstar at the next level.
  • 37 – Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina: A stellar running back who may even end up being the best in the class. Hampton is an overall superstar that can do it all for the Raiders backfield. Zamir White and Alexander Mattison are simply not cutting it for Las Vegas, but Hampton would immediately bring their backfield from zero to hero.
  • 68 – Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama: A project at quarterback who now has two new elite weapons to work with as well as a strong offensive line. Milroe has extraordinary athleticism and scrambling ability with a strong arm that could have Milroe developed into being a freakish star quarterback. Jalen has a lot to work on from footwork and fundamentals to accuracy and decision making, but the upside is well worth the risk for the Raiders.
  • 73 – T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina: The Raiders could use a great young defensive tackle alongside Christian Wilkins. Adding a player like Sanders to the Raiders defensive line adds much needed depth and a top tier rotational player on the interior.

Los Angeles Chargers

  • 22 – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan: Harbaugh and the Chargers add the Michigan tight end in the 1st round to give Herbert a top tier offensive weapon. Herbert has never had an elite talent at tight end in his career but finally gets a pristine safety valve to rely on in the passing game.
  • 55 – Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State: With JK Dobbins hitting free agency the Chargers take the talented running back out of Ohio State. Harbaugh may despise taking an Ohio State player but there is no denying Judkins’ talent as a runner.
  • 86 – Zy Alexander, CB, LSU: Alexander adds depth to the secondary, improving the Chargers’ pass coverage and allowing for more flexibility with their defensive schemes. With both Kristian Fulton and Asante Samuel set to become free agents getting a safe prospect like Alexander is a must have addition.

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys

  • 12 – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State: Jeanty is one of the best running back prospects of recent years. With Rico Dowdle hitting free agency the Cowboys absolutely have to address the position and they do this by getting the Heisman runner up in the 1st round.
  • 44 – Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan: Grant provides an immediate upgrade to the Cowboys’ interior defensive line. With Osa Odighizuwa hitting free agency getting a massive run stopping defensive tackle is a must have addition for the Cowboys defense.
  • 76 – Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State: Royals adds depth to the receiving corps, providing another reliable target for Dak Prescott. His ability to make plays after the catch will be valuable in the Cowboys’ offense which lacks depth at the position behind CeeDee Lamb.

New York Giants

  • 3 – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado: The Giants go after their quarterback of the future with the 3rd overall pick, Sanders brings a dynamic presence to the quarterback room. He is an extremely accurate passer that finally would give the Giants hope in their future.
  • 34 – Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State: Zabel adds depth to the offensive line which will be crucial for Shedeur’s development. Zabel is a 1st round talent on my board that fell to the Giants. He is an extremely versatile player that could play anywhere whether he is slotted in as an OT, OG, or C. No matter what, Zabel will find a way to improve the Giants protection.
  • 65 – Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State: The Giants primary receiving threats are Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson who are both best in the slot. With Darius Slayton going into free agency the Giants need to go after a quality outside receiver. Higgins was an extremely productive receiver with over 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns. At 6’4 he provides the Giants with a big bodies physical outside receiver that Shedeur can count on.

Philadelphia Eagles

  • 32 – Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia: The Eagles snag Mykel Williams with the last pick in the 1st round. Mykel is a fantastic athlete with extremely high upside that the Eagles are hoping to take advantage of. With both Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham leaving in free agency addressing the edge position should be a priority for Philly as they look to repeat.
  • 64 – Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA: With Zach Baun leaving in free agency the Eagles go after the extremely productive linebacker out of UCLA. Carson provides the Eagles with a potential day 1 starter that could develop into a star player on one of the best teams in the league.
  • 96 – Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State: The Eagles continue replacing free agents grabbing the dense defensive tackle out of FSU. With Milton Williams leaving in free agency they look to draft an extremely similar prospect with the pass rushing interior lineman.

Washington Commanders

  • 29 – Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M: The Commanders are majorly lacking in the pass rush department and they look to solve that issue here adding Nic Scourton. He is a day 1 starter that should immediately provide a top tier talent on their defensive line. Having a premium pass rush will be crucial for Washington’s defense as they look to improve off of their NFC Championship appearance.
  • 61 – Cameron Williams, OT, Texas: A crucial pick to sure up the offensive line, Williams could be a day 1 starter at right tackle for Jayden Daniels. The Commanders already addressed receiver by trading for Deebo Samuel so now they have to make sure they keep Daniels upright.
  • 79 – Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma: Bowman is a playmaking safety with great range and ball skills. His addition will improve the Commanders’ secondary that is set to lose both Jeremy Chinn and Derrick Forrest in free agency.

NFC North

Chicago Bears

  • 10 – Armand Membou, OT, Missouri: Membou is an immediate contributor on the offensive line with versatility to play OT or OG at an elite level. The offensive line is a critical area for the Bears to address if they want to get the most out of Caleb Williams. Having an elite offensive line was crucial to the Lions success on offense last year and Ben Johnson will be looking to recreate that in Chicago.
  • 39 – Donovan Jackson, OG, Ohio State: Another brilliant addition to the Bears’ offensive line, Jackson provides power in both the run and pass game. Jackson is a blue chip guard out of Ohio State and is extremely athletic looking like a linebacker in the combine drills. Bringing in Donovan to replace Teven Jenkins and Membou to start at left tackle beefs up the Bears offensive line masterfully.
  • 41 – Jack Sawyer, EDGE, Ohio State: Sawyer is a powerful pass rusher who can help improve the Bears’ ability to get after the quarterback right away. With the Bears moving on from DeMarcus Walker they fill in that hole with an extremely safe prospect sure to have an impact in Sawyer.
  • 72 – Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky: Chicago continues building up the tranches with the massive defensive tackle in Deone Walker. He is a bowling ball on the center of the defensive line and a premium disrupter that Chicago would love to have as they build a great defense.

Detroit Lions

  • 28 – Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College: A premium high upside edge rusher, Ezeiruaku brings energy and disruption to the Lions’ defense. Getting a star edge rusher opposite of Aidan Hutchinson would be a massive addition as the Lions look to improve upon their defense.
  • 60 – Wyatt Milum, OG, West Virginia: Milum strengthens Detroit’s offensive line, providing stability and power at right guard for them. The Lions have both Kevin Zeitler and his backup Netane Muti leaving in free agency so adding a player like Milum who could start right away is a no brain pick for Detroit.
  • 101 – CJ West, DT, Indiana: West bolsters the defensive line providing another physical presence up front who will immediately slot in as a nose tackle. With Levi Onwuzerike leaving in free agency and DJ Reader only getting older, it would be wise now to bring in a young interior lineman to develop.

Green Bay Packers

  • 23 – Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky: Hairston adds a dynamic cornerback to the Packers’ secondary, providing both coverage ability and playmaking skills. With Jaire likely on the move and multiple free agent corners, adding the fastest cornerback in draft who also didn’t allow a single touchdown in 2024 is a dream selection for the Packers.
  • 54 – Jared Wilson, OC, Georgia: Josh Meyers is a free agent at center and the Packers look to immediately fill in that hole with the extremely athletic Jared Wilson. Jared is one of the most athletic centers of all time according to RAS and would sure up the center of the Packers offensive line.
  • 87 – Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon: Burch brings pass-rushing potential to Green Bay’s defense, providing depth who can contribute immediately. Burch was a big riser during this offseason and is a fantastic fit in the Packers defense.

Minnesota Vikings

  • 24 – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia: Starks very well may be the best safety in the class and with Camryn Bynum and Harrison Smith both facing free agency the Vikings need to address the back end of their secondary. Malaki is a blue chip prospect that checks every single box you could ask for and would make for an immediate star in Minnesota’s defense.
  • 97 – Zah Frazier, CB, UTSA: Frazier adds depth and talent to the cornerback position that they surely need with Byron Murphy and Stephon Gilmore also set to hit free agency. The Vikings secondary is getting completely revamped this offseason so bringing in a great athletic corner that can start day 1 is a crucial pick.

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons

  • 15 – Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M: One of the most athletic edge rusher of all time who massively boosted his stock at the combine. He is extremely comparable to Myles Garrett and provides Atlanta with a monstrous developmental prospect to learn behind Matthew Judon.
  • 46 – Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss: Amos provides depth in the secondary and can help lock down opposing receivers immediately. His ability to cover and make plays on the ball adds to the Falcons’ defensive scheme that highly values an aggressive secondary. Amos easily could go round 1 with his length and surprising speed but the Falcons land him in round 2.

Carolina Panthers

  • 8 – James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee: Pearce may potentially be the best player in this draft. He was coveted as the top player in the class this time last year and proved how explosive he is as the combine running an insane 4.47 40 yard dash. Adding a top talent of this caliber to the Panthers pass rush could reform Carolina’s defense.
  • 57 – Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford: Ayomanor gives the Panthers a strong, physical receiver to add depth to their wide receiver room. His big play ability could become a key component in the offense opposite of Xavier Legette.
  • 74 – Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State: Burke provides a talented cornerback to help bolster Carolina’s defense. His ball skills and athleticism make him an asset in pass coverage that Carolina has sorely missed outside of Jaycee Horn.

New Orleans Saints

  • 9 – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan: Johnson is likely the best pure cornerback prospect in the entire class over Travis Hunter. Johnson is a pure lock down coverage defensive back with pristine fundamentals who will immediately come in and replace what the Saints lost in Marshon Lattimore.
  • 40 – Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss: Harris adds a big bodied target to the Saints’ receiving corps to pair outside with Chris Olave. His ability to make plays and stretch the field will complement their offense incredibly providing a reliable receiver for the offense.
  • 71 – Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan: Stewart is a pure pass rushing edge, however that is exactly what the Saints need on defense. Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson are great run defenders but the team lacks speed off the edge. With Cameron aging bringing in an athletic pass rusher to develop in Jordan’s final years would be a great move by New Orleans.
  • 93 – Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College: Trevor Penning has been under whelming at right tackle so the Saints grab the massive tackle out of Boston College. Ozzy is extremely similar as a prospect to Spencer Brown of Buffalo and I believe will develop nicely in the pros as a franchise right tackle.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • 19 – Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia: With Lavonte David on the move the Buccaneers are going to be desperate to fill his shoes with a quality linebacker. Walker is an extremely athletic and versatile linebacker who can move all over the field and command a defense. Even if the Buccaneers retain David, finding his predecessor to develop alongside him would be wise.
  • 53 – Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss: The Buccaneers pass rusher have been sorely lacking so they bring in the productive edge rusher to help solve that. Princely is a large defensive end with a wide tool of pass rush moves. He is a very safe prospect for the Buccaneers to target with one of the best pass rush win rates in the entire class.
  • 84 – Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami (FL): Restrepo is a fantastic slot receiver that the Buccaneers choose to keep in Florida. With Chris Godwin unlikely to stay in Tampa, they look in state to find a replacement to line up in at the Y.

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals

  • 16 – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri: Marvin Harrison Jr. is going to be a brilliant X receiver for the Cardinals, however they are severely missing any other quality receiver. Adding Luther Burden who can line up at the Y or Z on an offense at a high level is what will truly open up Kyler Murray and this passing game. Burden is the best player after the catch in this draft and his addition takes the Cardinals receiving group from underwhelming to having arguably the strongest young group of weapons in the league.
  • 47 – Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas: Jackson is an uber athletic edge rusher with monstrous length and strength. The Cardinals have badly needed to juice up their pass rush and adding a fantastic develpmental guy like Jackson could be a long term solution. Landon is an extremely hard worker and could be coached into one of the best in the league.
  • 78 – Anthony Belton, OT, NC State: Belton sures up the offensive line at right tackle which is going to be crucial for Arizona with both of their guards and right tackle in Beachum pending free agency. Given the situation Belton would have the ability to start right away and utilize his size and strength to swallow up blocks.

Los Angeles Rams

  • 26 – Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama: After moving on from Ernest Jones the Rams severely missed having a leader in the middle of their defense. Here they get a true enforcer and likely the best pure inside linebacker in the class. Campbell is a blue chip prospect out of Alabama and one of the most athletic linebackers the class has to offer.
  • 90 – Emery Jones, OT, LSU: Despite resigning Alaric Jackson, I still believe the Rams should target an offensive tackle early. Alaric has struggled with injuries in the past and Rob Havenstein isn’t getting any younger. Getting a quality tackle like Emery to develop as a potential year 1 starter would be a smart move.
  • 100 – Tai Felton, WR, Maryland: Felton is a blazing receiver with plenty of versatility for an offense. With Cooper Kupp potentially one the move getting another playmaking receiver for Stafford to utilize would be crucial for this offense to keep up their momentum.

San Francisco 49ers

  • 11 – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas: Trent Williams hasn’t played a full season since 2013 and is already 36 years old. Kelvin Banks is a very similar offensive tackle with elite performances and fundamentals at Texas. Kelvin could potentially start immediately at right tackle or guard for the 49ers, but ultimately the goal would be for him to learn from Trent before taking over as the left tackle of the future.
  • 43 – Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State: Thomas is one of the biggest risers from this offseason and has a 1st round grade on my board. He is extremely quick and instinctive with extremely fluid and smooth fundamentals. Florida State has a knack for producing quality NFL defensive backs and Thomas is the next best one. Pairing Thomas with Renardo Green would be a fantastic young duo to take over for Charvarius Ward.
  • 75 – Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma: Dre Greenlaw and De’Vondre Campbell are likely leaving in free agency and the 49ers need a linebacker to step in alongside Fred Warner. Stutsman is a fantastic athlete and strong tackler that I believe could start right away on the 49ers outstanding defense.
  • 99 – Jack Bech, WR, TCU: With Deebo Samuel on the move the 49ers add depth to the position. Jack Bech can man either the slot or outside with his large frame and length ultimately being best as a chain mover. Getting a high ceiling and reliable prospect like Bech is exactly what the 49ers could use behind Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall who have struggled with injuries in the past.

Seattle Seahawks

  • 18 – Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon: The Seahawks grab the somewhat local kid from Oregon to sure up their offensive line. Josh Conerly Jr. is an elite athlete on the offensive line and I could easily see some teams having him as a top 10 prospect on their board. Bringing in this high upside lineman will sure up Seattle’s offense to protect Geno Smith and Kenneth Walker.
  • 50 – Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo: Alexander brings excellent interior pass-rush ability, helping to disrupt the quarterback and stop the run. With Jarran Reed leaving in free agency, bringing in a NFL ready player in Darius will help create immediate success for the Seahawks defense next to Leonard Williams.
  • 82 – J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State: Boye Mafe and Derick Hall are developing as an edge duo but the depth behind them is nonexistent. JT is a great scheme fit with Seattle that could provide a much needed boost to their pass rush.
