The Giants don’t have much at receiver outside of Malik Nabers, so they’ll have to find another weapon for their new quarterback.

Chris Bell is a big and tough receiver with good speed.

The Jets have nothing at receiver outside of Garrett Wilson.

Antonio Williams has excellent play-making ability and quality route-running skills.

The Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers, so they’ll need a new No. 1 receiver.

Nyck Harbor is a massive 6-foot-5 receiver with loads of potential.

The Saints had one of the weaker pass rushes in the NFL last year, so that will need to be fixed.

Dani Dennis-Sutton has a lot of untapped potential.

Two tackles in two rounds makes sense for the Texans, given their problems at the position.

Austin Barber was inconsistent to start his collegiate career, but the upside is apparent.

The Bengals need to obtain multiple upgrades to their poor defensive line.

Cashius Howell is fast off the edge and has several impressive pass-rushing moves.

The Cardinals need to continue to add to their defensive line so they can rattle Matthew Stafford and Sam Darnold.

Will Heidt has good size and upside.

Pick change; previously Noah Thomas, WR

Jerry Jeudy likely won’t be on the roster much longer, so here’s a potential No. 1 receiver.

Makai Lemon wins on contested catches even though he’s a bit shy of six feet.

Jake Matthews is an older player, while Kaleb McGary is entering his contract year.

Elijah Pritchett is an athletic tackle with major upside.

Here’s a potential replacement for Harrison Smith, and an interesting chess piece for Brian Flores’ defense.

Keon Sabb has been a tough defender for Alabama and Michigan.

Jalen Ramsey has been traded, so here’s a replacement.

Domani Jackson had a disappointing start to his collegiate career, but has the upside to meet expectations.

The Jets need multiple new cornerbacks to replace the departed players at the position.

Amari Jackson has plenty of potential with his cover cornerback ability.

Pick change; previously L.T. Overton, DT

Carolina’s defense is awful and desperately needs help everywhere.

Javon Kilgore is tall and thickly built. He picked off five passes this past season.

When in a division with Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and well, that’s it, you can never have enough talented pass rushers.

T.J. Parker had a breakout sophomore campaign. He has impressive instincts and was very productive.

Pick change; previously Zion Young, DE

The Texans have no running game. Joe Mixon is old, while Nick Chubb is done. Woody Marks is electric, but I don’t think he can handle a full workload.

Nicholas Singleton is a dynamic back who can go the distance whenever he touches the ball.

There’s a chance Travis Kelce will be retired by the time this pick is being made, so here’s a potential replacement.

Kenyon Sadiq has upside as an athletic tight end.

Aaron Glenn is gone, so the Lions need as much secondary talent to make up for the departure.

Kamari Ramsey has excellent coverage skills.

Derrick Henry will turn 32 just prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, so Baltimore will have to find a potential successor.

Quintrevion Wisner has shown great receiving ability thus far.

Lavonte David is nearing retirement, so a new linebacker is needed.

Jaishawn Barham was productive, but has some pass coverage issues.

The Jaguars need all the help they can get in their shaky defense.

Kendal Daniels might be considered a linebacker-safety tweener.

Buffalo’s defense gets hit hard when Matt Milano is sidelined, so here’s another linebacker.

Deonte Lawson is stout in run support and can make some plays in pass coverage.

The 49ers have issues at cornerback that must be addressed in the near future.

Amare Farrell has good size and ball skills.

The Packers could stand to add another interior blocker to help them against some of the great defensive lines.

Ola Ioane is an explosive guard with a nasty streak.

The Chargers are rather weak at linebacker. They need to get better against outside runs.

Tony Rojas excels in pass coverage.

The Seahawks need to continue to bolster their offensive line, which remains a weakness.

Ipani Laloulu can play both center and guard in the NFL.

The Colts could stand to bolster the middle of the field.

Lander Barton was a favorite of advance scouts, though he missed a chunk of the ’23 season because of a foot injury.

More defensive line help is never a bad idea when trying to take down Jared Goff.

Caleb Banks is a big interior defender who has quality pass-rush ability for his size.

The Eagles are never opposed to adding defensive line talent early in the draft.

Matayo Uiagalelei has great size, strength, and athleticism. He’s been very productive at Oregon.

Evan Engram was signed, but he’s just a temporary solution at tight end.

John Michael Gyllenborg has a nice blend of size and speed.

The Rams have a strong, young defense, but they’ve had issues at linebacker.

Anthony Hill Jr. covered the field very well to begin his collegiate career.

Receiver continues to be a big problem for the Patriots, whose top player at the position is an older veteran coming off a torn ACL.

Aaron Anderson is undersized, but possesses blazing speed.
