Round 1 - Pick 1
Projected TeamTennessee |
PROSPECT RNK1st |
POSITION RNK1st |
Realistically, the Titans will try their best to move out of the No. 1 spot for a haul of picks. From a player fit perspective, though, Bain feels like the perfect defensive end to pair with Jeffery Simmons on the interior. He's an enforcer who resets the line in the run game and pushes pockets consistently as a pass rusher.
Round 1 - Pick 2
Projected TeamN.Y. Giants |
PROSPECT RNK2nd |
POSITION RNK1st |
The Giants already have one of the most-feared pass rushes in the NFL, but they have one of the least-feared front sevens against the run. Woods would not only add to the former, but also transform the latter. He is a powerful 3-technique who'd give them the best defensive interior in the NFL with Dexter Lawrence.
Round 1 - Pick 3
Projected TeamCleveland |
PROSPECT RNK12th |
POSITION RNK2nd |
PAYDS2787 |

Simpson continues to be one of the most impressive downfield passers in college football. His ability to find throwing lanes at the intermediate level is second to none this season. He's thrown for 22 scores compared to only two interceptions this year.
Round 1 - Pick 4
Projected TeamNew Orleans |
PROSPECT RNK4th |
POSITION RNK1st |
REC57 |
REYDS628 |

For the Saints, it's only going to get worse before it gets better. Because of that, they may choose to pass on this year's quarterback class to give Tyler Shough a little longer leash at the helm. Giving him a No. 1 receiver like Tyson would transform New Orleans' passing attack with a true every-level route winner.
Round 1 - Pick 5
Projected TeamN.Y. Jets |
PROSPECT RNK3rd |
POSITION RNK1st |
PAYDS2641 |
RUYDS216 |

Mendoza has drawn comparisons to Lions quarterback Jared Goff, which would make sense with former Lions passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand being the OC for the Jets. He leads college football with 30 touchdown passes and is averaging 9.4 yards per attempt.
Round 1 - Pick 6
Projected TeamLas Vegas |
PROSPECT RNK10th |
POSITION RNK1st |
Reese is the perfect modern hybrid linebacker to give a defensive coordinator flexibility. He looks just as comfortable rushing the passer as he does dropping deep into coverage. And he's got the body type to easily do both.
Round 1 - Pick 7
Projected TeamWashington |
PROSPECT RNK6th |
POSITION RNK2nd |
REC39 |
REYDS711 |
YDS/REC18.2 |

Tate is the vertical threat the Commanders offense has sorely missed with Terry McLaurin sidelined for most of the year. The long, rangy receiver is averaging 18.2 yards per reception while hauling in 84.8% of his targets.
Round 1 - Pick 8
Projected TeamL.A. Rams |
PROSPECT RNK5th |
POSITION RNK1st |
The Rams are a nickel-base team through and through. They want as many defensive backs on the field as possible on every play, and Downs is the kind of defender who can keep them strong against the run, even out of those looks.
Round 1 - Pick 9
Projected TeamCincinnati |
PROSPECT RNK14th |
POSITION RNK1st |
RUYDS1135 |
YDS/ATT6.4 |
REYDS274 |
TDS17 |
Obviously the Bengals need help defensively, but they've spent so much draft capital on that side of the ball in recent years that free agency might be where they have to turn to fix things. Adding Love to their room of playmakers gives them a terrifying amount of speed.
Round 1 - Pick 10
Projected TeamArizona |
PROSPECT RNK20th |
POSITION RNK4th |
REC52 |
REYDS873 |
YDS/REC16.8 |
TDS8 |
Brazzell is a throwback deep threat at 6-foot-5 with exceptional wheels. The Cardinals have really been missing a vertical element to their passing attack this season, so Brazzell's 12 deep catches would be a welcome addition.
Round 1 - Pick 11
Projected TeamMiami |
PROSPECT RNK9th |
POSITION RNK1st |
This one is predicated on Mike McDaniel still being the head coach, as Fano is the perfect fit for his offense. He's an incredibly athletic run blocker who could slot in at either guard or tackle.
Round 1 - Pick 12
Projected TeamDallas |
PROSPECT RNK26th |
POSITION RNK5th |
Bailey brings back the juice the Cowboys' pass rush lost when they traded away Micah Parsons. He's the most explosive rusher in the draft and leads college football with 71 pressures.
Round 1 - Pick 13
Projected TeamMinnesota |
PROSPECT RNK7th |
POSITION RNK1st |
McCoy has still yet to play a snap of football this year after a January ACL tear, but his sophomore tape was still good enough to keep him as CB1. He can be the island-man corner the Vikings defense has been missing this season.
Round 1 - Pick 14
Projected TeamBaltimore |
PROSPECT RNK11th |
POSITION RNK1st |
Faulk has high-end developmental tools, but unrefined tape. He needs to go to a good spot to develop, and Baltimore has as strong a track record in that regard as anyone.
Round 1 - Pick 15
Projected TeamKansas City |
PROSPECT RNK8th |
POSITION RNK1st |
If the Chiefs really don't make the playoffs, they'll be looking to revamp the offensive line in front of Patrick Mahomes once again. Mauigoa is the perfect right tackle to replace Jawaan Taylor. He'd form one of the league's best double-team combos with Trey Smith.
Round 1 - Pick 16
Projected TeamHouston |
PROSPECT RNK16th |
POSITION RNK2nd |
Ioane isn't the left tackle the Texans need, but he's a high-end pass protector nonetheless, and beggars can't be choosers. He'd be a Day 1 starter at left guard.
Round 1 - Pick 17
Projected TeamCarolina |
PROSPECT RNK17th |
POSITION RNK2nd |
The Panthers have a lot of holes to fill defensively, but none seem more pressing than cornerback. Terrell is a distinctly different type of corner from Jaycee Horn, as the Clemson corner is more capable of handling shiftier, smaller receivers.
Round 1 - Pick 18
Projected TeamDetroit |
PROSPECT RNK22nd |
POSITION RNK4th |
The Lions want to keep their offensive line a dominant unit, and this is how you do it. Pregnon is having a standout year after transferring from USC. He's only allowed two pressures all season.
Round 1 - Pick 19
Projected TeamTampa Bay |
PROSPECT RNK24th |
POSITION RNK2nd |
Allen is built in a lab to play linebacker for Todd Bowles. He's exceptional coming downhill, as he's one of the best run defenders in college football.
Round 1 - Pick 20
Projected TeamCleveland |
PROSPECT RNK18th |
POSITION RNK2nd |
Lomu has all the traits to be a high-end pass protector in the NFL. He's already been one this year for Utah. He's allowed only six pressures all season.
Round 1 - Pick 21
Projected TeamPittsburgh |
PROSPECT RNK38th |
POSITION RNK3rd |
Delane has been the stingiest corner in college football this season. On 34 targets, he's allowed only 13 catches for 167 yards with two picks and nine pass breakups. He's an immediate upgrade from what the Steelers have.
Round 1 - Pick 23
Round 1 - Pick 24
Projected TeamDallas |
PROSPECT RNK30th |
POSITION RNK4th |
Styles is another infusion of athleticism into the Cowboys' front seven. He's the best sideline-to-sideline linebacker in college football. His ability to cover ground at the second level would be a massive value-add in coverage for the Cowboys.
Round 1 - Pick 25
Projected TeamChicago |
PROSPECT RNK21st |
POSITION RNK3rd |
Proctor is likely to end up as a guard at the next level, but Ben Johnson's offense is one where he could still play tackle. That's because it's so predicated on the run game, where Proctor is an easy people mover.
Round 1 - Pick 26
Projected TeamBuffalo |
PROSPECT RNK45th |
POSITION RNK9th |

Concepcion is the separator the Bills offense has been missing. He'd add a vertical element as well as the ability to be their go-to guy on third downs. He's caught 47 passes for 787 yards and eight scores this year.
Round 1 - Pick 27
Projected TeamSeattle |
PROSPECT RNK51st |
POSITION RNK4th |
Miller is yet another versatile defensive tackle to add to the Seahawks' rotation up front. The Seahawks thrive by stopping the run with their front four, and Miller can do just that. He's got a prototypical 3-4 defensive end body type with long arms to two-gap in the NFL.
Round 1 - Pick 28
Projected TeamN.Y. Jets |
PROSPECT RNK17th |
POSITION RNK3rd |
REC71 |
REYDS1090 |
YDS/REC15.4 |

Lemon is the perfect slot to pair with Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell on the outside. He brings a level of reliability the Jets have been desperately missing. He's dropped only three passes on 126 catchable targets over the past two seasons.
Round 1 - Pick 29
Projected TeamL.A. Rams |
PROSPECT RNK28th |
POSITION RNK3rd |
Golday is a former edge rusher who's turned into one of the most complete linebackers in college football. He still has that edge size but moves like an undersized linebacker in space.
Round 1 - Pick 30
Projected TeamNew England |
PROSPECT RNK63rd |
POSITION RNK4th |
Tiernan has been one of the most impressive pass protectors in college football this season with only eight pressures allowed all year. He's a four-year starter who has experience on the right side as well, where he started in 2022.

This is consistently one of my favorite fits in the draft for a few reasons. Dallas Goedert turns 31 years old in January and is an impending free agent. Even if he's re-signed, the Eagles still play a good deal of two-tight end sets. Sadiq is the perfect No. 2 tight end with his high-level explosiveness, YAC ability and blocking in space.
Round 1 - Pick 32
Projected TeamDenver |

With Bo Nix's spotty accuracy this season, adding another big-bodied wideout with exceptional ball skills is probably a good idea. Boston is exceptional at plucking the ball outside of his frame and would give them a second receiver who can haul in the back-shoulder throws Nix is so good at.
