NFL Team Logo for Jaguars Jacksonville Jaguars: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson Image for Clem

The Jaguars have a big weakness at cornerback. They were terrible versus the pass last year, so an upgrade at the position would obviously go a long way in fixing the problem.

Nate Wiggins is a tall cornerback with plus athleticism and quickness.

If you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.

Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it at the top. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

Also, if you’d like to support the site, check out my book! It’s available on Amazon, and it’s called A Safety and a Field Goal.

Take a look:

You can buy it here. It has some NFL Draft-related topics, so like I said, if you want to support the site, this is a great way to do it!

NFL Team Logo for Bengals Cincinnati Bengals: Tallies Fuaga, OT, Oregon State Image for OSU

The Bengals continue to have offensive line issues. Jonah Williams is an impending free agent and will have to be replaced.

Tallies Fuaga may have to move to guard in the NFL.

NFL Team Logo for Rams Los Angeles Rams: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo Image for

The Rams have issues defending outside receivers, so they may want to use this pick on a replacement for Jalen Ramsey.

Quinyon Mitchell is raw, but he has incredible upside that could put him in the first round.

NFL Team Logo for Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon Image for ORE

The Steelers signed Mason Cole recently, but he turned out to be a bust. Cole was recently cut. Pittsburgh will be looking for a new center this offseason.

Jackson Powers-Johnson moved from the defensive to the offensive line, and he was a superb center in his final season.

NFL Team Logo for Dolphins Miami Dolphins: Laiatu Latu, DE, UCLA Image for UCLA

The Dolphins lost plenty of edge-rushing talent this offseason. They’ll need to find someone else who can hound Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers.

Laiatu Latu is a dangerous pass rusher with incredible athleticism and a strong frame. He could fall, however, due to injury concerns.

Pick change; previously Jordan Morgan, OT

NFL Team Logo for Eagles Philadelphia Eagles: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia Image for UGA

The Eagles had horrific play from their cornerbacks this year. They’ll need to address the position on multiple occasions this offseason.

Kamari Lassiter has the upside to be a cover cornerback in the NFL.

NFL Team Logo for Giants New York Giants: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas Image for Tex

The Giants are getting a great value here, and it’s not like they don’t need a new starter next to Dexter Lawrence. This is a replacement for Leonard Williams.

Byron Murphy has been impressive as both a run defender and a pass rusher. The only negative is that he lacks length.

NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU Image for LSU

Dak Prescott needs more help. The Cowboys could stand to add a better No. 2 receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb.

Brian Thomas Jr. is a huge receiver with great athleticism and upside.

NFL Team Logo for Packers Green Bay Packers: Cooper DeJean, S/CB, Iowa Image for Iowa

The Packers traded Rasul Douglas, so they have a big hole at cornerback across from Jaire Alexander.

Cooper DeJean is an instinctive and versatile player.

NFL Team Logo for Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia Image for UGA

The Buccaneers have some problems on their offensive line. They could draft a tackle and move Luke Goedeke inside, or they could put this prospect at guard.

Amarius Mims has gotten lots of positive feedback from the scouting community. He has a tremendous skill set and lots of upside.

NFL Team Logo for Cardinals Arizona Cardinals: Kris Jenkins, DT, Michigan Image for MICH

The Cardinals have lost tons of talent on the defensive line in recent years. They signed some players this offseason, but they still need help.

Like his father, Kris Jenkins Jr. is a disruptive interior presence.

NFL Team Logo for Bills Buffalo Bills: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas Image for Tex

Buffalo sorely needed a second receiver because Gabe Davis just wasn’t cutting it most weeks. Davis is now gone.

Adonai Mitchell has mismatch size and speed. He has huge upside.

Pick change; previously Xavier Legette, WR

NFL Team Logo for Lions Detroit Lions: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama Image for ALA

The Lions wanted Devon Witherspoon at No. 6, so perhaps they’ll obtain a cornerback with this pick.

Kool-Aid McKinstry was a rare freshman starter for Nick Saban. He has the size and athleticism to be an elite cornerback.

NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma Image for OU

The Ravens could stand to bolster their guards. Lamar Jackson was the MVP when he had Marshal Yanda blocking for him.

Tyler Guyton is a massive tackle with great athelticism for someone his size.

NFL Team Logo for 49ers San Francisco 49ers: Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona Image for Ari

The 49ers love adding talent to the defensive line. However, they need to improve their blocking as well. Finding a new right tackle who can eventually take Trent Williams’ spot seems like a smart move.

Jordan Morgan has superb length, size, strength, and quickness.

Pick change; previously Laiatu Latu, DE

NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Kingsley Suamatia, OT, BYU Image for BYU

I don’t need to tell you that the Chiefs need receiving help after all of their drops. However, they also need tackle upgrades to improve Patrick Mahomes’ poor edge pass protection.

Kingsley Suamatia has amazing athleticism for a tackle of his size.
