1. Tennessee Titans – Travis Hunter CB, Colorado
The Titans secure one of the most intriguing prospects in years. Hunter’s "generational talent" is impossible to pass up, especially with uncertainty surrounding this QB class despite mixed reports.
2. Cleveland Browns – Cam Ward QB, Miami (FL)
The Browns officially turn the page on Deshaun Watson, ushering in the Cam Ward era. Ward is emerging as the top QB in this class and will look to finally lead Cleveland to the promised land.
3. New York Giants – Jaxson Dart QB, Ole Miss
The Dart hype is real. After shining at the Senior Bowl, he’s proving he has the intangibles to be a great QB. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants decide to make him their guy. (Sorry Giants fans I know this is a mostly unpopular opinion)
4. New England Patriots – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Patriots secure their best WR since Julian Edelman, giving Drake Maye a true weapon. With Josh McDaniels back, this pick brings a fresh yet familiar feel to the offense.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Mason Graham, DL, Michigan
If this scenario plays out and Jacksonville actually makes a pick, Mason Graham is a BEAST and fills a position of need. However, I believe if Carter is on the board here the Jags would have plenty of of trade down packages.
6. Las Vegas Raiders – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
With Pete Carroll looking to jumpstart his tenure in Las Vegas, the Raiders take the third QB in the first six picks. Sanders has the potential to revitalize a struggling franchise. In true Raiders fashion, it’s a bold, high-risk, high-reward selection.
7. New York Jets – Abdul Carter EDGE, Penn State
Let’s be clear, I think Carter probably goes earlier, as many see him as the best player in this draft. However, based on team needs, this is where he fits in this scenario. One thing remains true: on paper, he’s the best pass-rushing prospect since Nick Bosa. Wherever he goes, he’ll be an instant difference-maker and a franchise-changing player.
(Teams to watch)
New Orleans (Pick 9)
Chicago (Pick 10)
Atlanta (Pick 15)
Tampa Bay (Pick 19)
8. Carolina Panthers – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
The Panthers have plenty of needs and could go in multiple directions to improve their roster. However, I believe they’ll prioritize giving Bryce Young more weapons, as he started to show promise late last season. Adding a dynamic WR here gives him another playmaker to help shoulder the load on offense.
9. New Orleans Saints – Will Johnson CB, Michigan
I think Will Johnson makes a lot of sense here. The Saints could use a boost in their secondary, and Johnson is the best player available. My pro comp for him is Patrick Surtain as both have eerily similar frames and skill sets, making Johnson a potential lockdown corner at the next level.
10. Chicago Bears – Ashton Jeanty RB, Boise State
Listen, I already know this pick might get some hate—but hear me out. Jeanty makes a lot of sense for the Bears when you consider a few key factors. First, Chicago is all-in on setting Caleb Williams up for success, and pairing him with a dynamic talent like Jeanty only strengthens that mission. Second, Ben Johnson just took over as head coach, and we’ve seen how effective his system can be when featuring backs like David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Will this actually happen? Probably not. But does it make sense? Absolutely.
Another possible scenario is Chicago trades back from this spot to a team in need of a premier OT as Campbell and Banks are still on the board.
(Teams to watch)
49ers (Pick 11)
Cowboys (Pick 12)
Broncos (Pick 20)
Rams (Pick 26)
11. San Francisco 49ers – Will Campbell, OT, LSU
It’s essentially a toss-up between Campbell and Banks Jr. here as they both possess the skills to be a premier tackle in the NFL. But I think Williams is the slightly better option to help replace a soon-to-be 37-year-old Trent Williams, who is also coming off a season-ending ankle injury that sidelined him after just ten games.
12. Dallas Cowboys – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
There’s a lot of buzz that Jeanty could land here, and it makes sense given the Cowboys’ history of favoring bell-cow running backs. However, I think they take the smarter approach and solidify their offensive line with the BPA, Kelvin Banks Jr. As mentioned before, it’s a toss-up between Banks and Campbell for the top tackle in this class, and the Cowboys would be thrilled to land either. With Tyler Guyton struggling and ultimately benched last season (yes I know he was a first rounder just one year ago), Dallas wastes no time finding an instant upgrade to keep their Super Bowl window open.
13. Miami Dolphins – Tyler Booker, IOL, Alabamaa
Tyler Booker is easily one of the safest offensive line picks in this draft. His combination of size and explosiveness should translate seamlessly to the next level. The Dolphins desperately need to shore up the interior of their offensive line to better protect Tua Tagovailoa—because as we’ve seen, their entire season can unravel quickly when he’s not on the field.
14. Indianapolis Colts – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Malaki Starks is the best safety in this draft, hands down. His elite athleticism makes him a versatile defender in all phases of the game. The Colts’ secondary had its struggles last season, and adding a dynamic playmaker like Starks would go a long way in solidifying the unit.
15. Atlanta Falcons – James Pearce Jr EDGE, Tennessee
James Pearce Jr. at 15 might seem like a steal, given his talent level and top-10 potential. In most drafts, he’d be the first EDGE off the board, but with Abdul Carter solidifying himself as the top pass rusher in this class, Pearce’s draft position is a bit harder to project. His explosiveness and speed off the edge make him a major pass-rushing threat at the next level, but he’ll need to refine his size and run-stopping ability to reach his full potential. Landing in Atlanta makes a lot of sense, as the Falcons desperately need a difference-maker on the defensive line and have limited cap space to address the issue in free agency, making the draft their best option to fill this glaring need.
16. Arizona Cardinals – Mykel Williams EDGE, Georgia
The selection of James Pearce Jr. could trigger a run on EDGE rushers, as teams won’t want to miss out on securing top talent at a premium position. That’s where Mykel Williams comes into play. Some see him as the second-best EDGE in this class, with a few projections even placing him in the top 10. Arizona is a logical landing spot, given their pressing need to strengthen the defensive front. Williams is already an elite run-stopper, but his combine performance will be key in determining his true explosiveness—an area that has raised some concerns in the past.
17. Cincinnati Bengals – Mike Green EDGE, Marshall
I wasn’t kidding when I said there would be a run on EDGE rushers in this draft. Mike Green is skyrocketing up mock drafts after an outstanding Senior Bowl performance. He dominated this past season, racking up 17 sacks and 63 QB pressures, but his level of competition will be a key concern for many evaluators. That said, Green’s athleticism pops on film, making him a strong breakout candidate at the combine. This pick makes sense—Cincinnati desperately needs defensive reinforcements to complement Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase on the other side of the ball.
18. Seattle Seahawks – Tyler Warren TE, Penn State
The Seahawks have several directions they could take with this pick, but if Tyler Warren is still available, Seattle may capitalize on the opportunity to add the highly productive Penn State tight end. Given that they were the only double-digit win team to miss the playoffs, they likely view themselves as a contender and will look for pieces to solidify their roster. With Tyler Lockett aging and the team facing cap concerns, ensuring Geno Smith has enough weapons to keep the offense performing at a high level could be a priority.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Nic Scourton EDGE, Texas A&M
Tampa Bay continues its search for a reliable EDGE rusher to pair with YaYa Diaby (who showed some regression this season after a solid rookie year) after struggling to find consistent production at the position. Nic Scourton presents a high-upside solution, boasting a massive 285-pound frame combined with surprising quickness that should translate well to the NFL. This selection helps solidify a key defensive position, giving the Buccaneers a potential long-term answer in their front seven.
20. Denver Broncos – TreVyon Henderson RB, Ohio State
Let’s be honest—Javonte Williams has yet to recapture the flashes of brilliance from his rookie season and has struggled to establish himself as a true bell-cow back. With his future in Denver uncertain, the Broncos could have a major hole to fill at running back. While Audric Estime brings power to the position, he lacks the all-around skill set to be a true three-down back. Enter TreVeyon Henderson, fresh off a National Championship season where he played a pivotal role in Ohio State’s offense. Henderson possesses an elite mix of speed, toughness, and natural vision, making him a high-upside NFL prospect. Additionally, his shared workload with Quinshon Judkins last season means he enters the league with less wear and tear than most top-tier backs—a major plus for the Broncos.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Emeka Egbuka Wr, Ohio State
The Steelers are starving for another reliable wide receiver to pair with George Pickens, and Emeka Egbuka fits the bill perfectly. I have him ranked as my second-best WR in this class (with Luther Burden III close behind, despite likely being drafted higher). Egbuka possesses elite hands, smooth route-running ability, and the physicality to excel at the next level. His game reminds me of a bigger, stronger Chris Olave—fitting, considering he also wore No. 2 at Ohio State. Given the Buckeyes' exceptional track record of producing elite NFL receivers, it's hard to go wrong here. Egbuka would be an excellent complement to Pickens and provide a major boost to whoever is under center for Pittsburgh next season.
22. Los Angeles Chargers – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The reasoning behind this pick is straightforward—the Broncos need a reliable tight end to support rookie quarterback Bo Nix in the passing game, and Jim Harbaugh’s former recruit, Colston Loveland, is a perfect fit. Loveland brings exceptional athleticism to the position, making him a matchup nightmare for defenders and a valuable red-zone target. Given Harbaugh’s familiarity with Loveland from his time at Michigan, this selection would allow Denver to fill a key offensive need while capitalizing on an already established connection.
23. Green Bay Packers – Shavon Revel JR CB, East Carolina
This pick addresses a key need for the Packers, especially if Jaire Alexander becomes a cap casualty this offseason. Shavon Revel Jr. is a physically gifted corner at 6’3”, combining elite length with impressive ball skills and athleticism—traits that are highly valued at the position. While he carries some risk due to a season-ending injury last year, his upside is undeniable. If Green Bay is looking to secure a potential lockdown corner for the future, Revel Jr. makes a lot of sense here.
24. Minnesota Vikings – Kenneth Grant DL, Michigan
Given the Vikings’ need for interior defensive line help, Kenneth Grant would be an absolute steal at this spot. He has the talent to be a top-20, maybe even top-15 pick, but with this year’s loaded defensive line class—headlined by his own Michigan teammate Mason Graham—Grant could slide just outside of the top 20.
At 6-foot-3, 339 pounds, Grant is a powerful force in the trenches with an exceptional blend of size, strength, and surprising athleticism for his frame. His ability to clog running lanes and collapse the pocket would give the Vikings a true difference-maker in the middle of their defense.
25. Houston Texans – Walter Nolan DL, Ole Miss
The Texans continue to build a formidable defensive front by selecting Walter Nolen, a disruptive interior lineman with elite athleticism for his size. Nolen has the ability to collapse the pocket from the inside while also being stout against the run, making him an ideal fit in DeMeco Ryans' defense. Houston struggled to consistently generate interior pressure last season, and adding Nolen alongside Will Anderson Jr. creates a young, dynamic pass-rushing duo that can wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks for years to come.
26. Los Angeles Rams – Josh Simmons OT, Ohio State
The Rams have done a solid job keeping their offensive line stable, but long-term protection for Matthew Stafford—or his eventual successor—is still a priority. Josh Simmons provides Los Angeles with a powerful, athletic tackle who has the tools to develop into a high-level pass protector at the next level. While Simmons is still refining his technique, his raw power and mobility make him an excellent fit in Sean McVay’s zone-heavy scheme.
27. Baltimore Ravens – Jack Sawyer EDGE, Ohio State
The Ravens have built a reputation for drafting and developing elite defensive talent, and Jack Sawyer fits that mold perfectly. With his blend of power, explosiveness, and relentless motor, Sawyer brings versatility to Baltimore’s front seven. The Ravens already have a strong pass rush, but with Jadeveon Clowney hitting free agency and Odafe Oweh still developing, adding another edge rusher ensures they maintain one of the league’s most feared defenses.
28. Detroit Lions – Princely Umanmielen EDGE, Ole Miss
The Lions have built an identity around toughness and relentless effort under Dan Campbell, and Princely Umanmielen perfectly fits that mold. While Detroit already has Aidan Hutchinson as their top pass-rusher, they need more depth on the defensive line, especially with inconsistent production from their other edge rushers. Umanmielen brings explosive athleticism and versatility, allowing him to contribute immediately as a rotational pass-rusher while developing into a long-term starter.
29. Washington Commanders – Tre Harris WR, Ole Miss
The Washington Commanders' selection of Tre Harris provides Jayden Daniels with another dynamic weapon in the passing game, reinforcing the team's commitment to surrounding their rookie quarterback with playmakers. Harris, a 6-foot-3 receiver with a strong catch radius, excels at winning contested catches and using his size to create separation. His precise route running and reliable hands make him a valuable asset, especially in critical third-down and red-zone situations.
This pick also addresses the future of Washington’s receiving corps, as Terry McLaurin, who has been the team’s top target for years, is now on the wrong side of 30. While McLaurin still has plenty left in the tank, adding Harris helps ensure the team has a long-term plan in place at the position. Harris brings versatility as well, with the ability to line up both outside and in the slot, allowing Washington to create more mismatches in their offensive scheme.
30. Buffalo Bills – Landon Jackson EDGE, Arkansas
The Bills have been searching for a consistent pass-rushing presence outside of Von Miller, and with Miller’s age and injuries becoming a concern, adding Landon Jackson helps secure the future of their defensive front. Jackson is a long, powerful edge rusher with the versatility to play multiple positions along the defensive line. His combination of size and athleticism allows him to be disruptive against both the run and the pass, making him a valuable addition to Buffalo’s defense.
31. Philadelphia Eagles – Jalon Walker EDGE, Georgia
The Eagles add depth to their pass rush with Jalon Walker from Georgia. Walker's versatility stands out, having played both on the edge and as an off-ball linebacker. His athleticism allows him to cover tight ends and running backs effectively, and he has shown flashes of being a disruptive pass rusher. However, his lack of experience and instincts can lead to hesitation, suggesting he may need time to develop into a consistent contributor.
This pick also addresses a major upcoming need for the Eagles, as both Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham's contracts are set to expire. While Nolan Smith has stepped up down the stretch this season, Howie Roseman has consistently prioritized having a deep rotation of pass-rushers. Walker provides immediate depth and a long-term solution for Philadelphia’s defensive front.
32. Kansas City Chiefs – Armand Membou OT, Missouri
The Chiefs' biggest concern heading into this offseason is solidifying their offensive line to ensure Patrick Mahomes stays upright. With their right tackle situation in flux, Armand Membou is a strong pick to bolster the line and provide much-needed stability. Membou has the versatility to play both guard and tackle, which makes him an invaluable asset for Kansas City’s offensive scheme. His combination of power, quick feet, and balance allows him to hold up well in both pass protection and run blocking.
