  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Darian Kinnard, OT, Kentucky
    The Jaguars need to add some protection to help Trevor Lawrence.

    Darian Kinnard has surprising athleticism for his 340-pound frame.

  2. Detroit Lions: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
    The Lions have a major void of talent at receiver aside from Amon-Ra St. Brown, so they’ll need to spend multiple early picks to address the position.

    George Pickens has nice size (6-3), tremendous athleticism and a wide catch radius.

    Pick change; previously Jahan Dotson, WR

  3. New York Jets: Kenyon Green, G, Texas A&M
    The Jets need to do everything in their power to make sure that Zach Wilson succeeds. They’ll need to add more talent to the offensive line.

    Kenyon Green is a former five-star recruit tackle, but he may have to play guard at the next level.

    Pick change; previously Nakobe Dean, LB

  4. New York Giants: Arnold Ebiketie, DE/OLB, Penn State
    The Giants could stand to double up on edge rushers, given how weak their pass rush is.

    Sources told Charlie Campbell that Arnold Ebiketie compares favorably to Yannick Ngakoue.

    Pick change; previously Kenyon Green, G



  5. Houston Texans: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
    Will Fuller is gone, while Brandin Cooks is a ticking time bomb. The Texans are desperate for receiver help.

    Jahan Dotson caught 52 passes for 884 yards and eight touchdowns in just nine games in 2020. The 5-11 receiver made a big leap in production from the previous year.

    Pick change; previously Alec Pierce, WR

  6. New York Jets: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
    The Jets sorely need to upgrade the middle of their defense.

    Brandon Smith is a very athletic linebacker with tremendous upside.

    Pick change; previously Arnold Ebiketie, DE/OLB

  7. Chicago Bears: Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn
    The Bears have some serious problems at cornerback after losing Kyle Fuller this offseason.

    Roger McCreary is only 5-11, but he has amazing coverage skills.

    Pick change; previously Jermaine Waller, CB

  8. Denver Broncos: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
    The Broncos need to find a new franchise quarterback. Vic Fangio was not lying about the issues at the position.

    Matt Corral developed well under Lane Kiffin, completing 71 percent of his passes in 2020.



  9. Seattle Seahawks: Carson Strong, QB, Nevada
    The Seahawks may decide to trade Russell Wilson and blow everything up this offseason. If so, here’s their new quarterback.

    Carson Strong completed 70 percent of his passes in 2020, all while maintaining a 27:4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Strong has decent arm talent and could emerge as a first-round pick.

  10. Washington Redskins: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State
    The Redskins could address their offensive line to help their next franchise quarterback.

    Abraham Lucas has tremendous length and athleticism.

  11. Atlanta Falcons: Daxton Hill, S/CB, Michigan
    The Falcons are hurting for talent in their secondary to pair with A.J. Terrell.

    Daxton Hill played great as the nickel cornerback this year, but he may move to safety in the NFL.



  12. Cleveland Browns: Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama
    The Browns lost Sheldon Richardson, so they may want to obtain an interior presence on the defensive line.

    Phidarian Mathis has excellent athleticism and upside.

  13. Baltimore Ravens: Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson
    The Ravens drafted Rashod Bateman in the first round, but they still could use another receiver.

    Justyn Ross is a 6-4, 210-pound monster who catches everything. Alabama had no answer for him in the national championship. Unfortunately, he missed all of 2020 with an injury.



  14. Minnesota Vikings: Chasen Hines, G, LSU
    The Vikings have a weak offensive line they’ll need to address this upcoming offseason.

    Chasen Hines is a massive interior lineman (6-3, 349) who needs to work on pass protection.

  15. Indianapolis Colts: Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan
    The Colts need a new left tackle, as Eric Fisher is just a temporary solution.

    A former tight end, Bernhard Raimann is an athletic left tackle.






  16. Los Angeles Chargers: Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State
    Bryan Bulaga can’t stay healthy, so the Chargers may want to obtain a new right tackle.

    Rasheed Walker is quick feet for a player his size (6-6, 324).

  17. New Orleans Saints: Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
    The Saints could double up on receivers, given their huge need at the position.

    The 6-3 Alec Pierce has a great size and speed combination.

    Pick change; previously Drake London, WR

  18. Miami Dolphins: Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Alabama
    The Dolphins can’t evaluate the running back talent on their team, so they’ll need to find a new player at the position.

    Brian Robinson runs with quickness and power to burst through tackles.



  19. Philadelphia Eagles: Drake Jackson, DE/DT, USC
    The Eagles missed Brandon Graham this season. Graham turns 34 in April, so Philadelphia may want to find a replacement.

    Drake Jackson has been great as an edge player, but he could fill out and become a five-technique.

    Pick change; previously Brandon Smith, LB




  20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota
    Here’s another offensive lineman for the Steelers, whose blocking really needs multiple upgrades.

    Daniel Faalele has massive size at 379 pounds, but he has shocking quickness and athleticism for someone his size.

  21. Las Vegas Raiders: Ed Ingram, G, LSU
    Despite selecting Alex Leatherwood in the opening round, the Raiders still need to improve their regressing offensive line.

    Ed Ingram is a tough run blocker who has displayed some athleticism.

  22. New England Patriots: Logan Hall, DE, Houston
    The Patriots could use edge-rushing help to allow them to defeat Josh Allen.

    Logan Hall is a long, athletic edge rusher who has enjoyed a great 2021 campaign.

  23. Arizona Cardinals: Nick Bonitto, DE/OLB, Oklahoma
    Both Chandler Jones and J.J. Watt are in their 30s, so they’ll need to find some successors.

    Nick Bonitto is a tweener, but can serve as an edge-rushing specialist in a 3-4 system.



  24. Dallas Cowboys: R.J. Roderick, S, South Carolina
    The Cowboys continue to have huge problems in the secondary that they must address.

    NFL advance scouts have been very impressed with R.J. Roderick, according to Charlie Campbell.

    Pick change; previously Smoke Monday, S

  25. Buffalo Bills: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson
    The Bills have the best pass defense in the NFL, but there’s something to be said about bolstering a strength, especially when the goal each year is to beat Patrick Mahomes.

    Andrew Booth Jr. is coming off an impressive 2020 campaign. There will be more focus on him with Derion Kendrick being expelled from the team.

    Pick change; previously Perrion Winfrey, DT

  26. Atlanta Falcons: David Bell, WR, Purdue
    Calvin Ridley may never play football again. Even if he does, the Falcons need to find a receiver to replace Julio Jones as well.

    David Bell is a possession receiver with great size and plus route-running ability, but there are questions about how he’ll test at the combine.



  27. Green Bay Packers: Zachary Carter, DT, Florida
    The Packers have been weak to the run for way too long. They need to do something to fix this issue.

    Zachary Carter has the quickness and athleticism to perhaps sneak into the first round.

  28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, CB, TCU
    Cornerback is the one weak group on Tampa Bay’s roster.

    Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson is only 5-9, but he has great coverage skills as a fast and athletic prospect.

    Pick change; previously Josh Jobe, CB

  29. San Francisco 49ers: Lewis Cine, S, Georgia
    Jaquiski Tartt is an impending free agent who may have to be replaced.

    Lewis Cine is coming off a terrific year for Georgia, patrolling the middle of the field during the team’s championship run.

    Pick change; previously R.J. Roderick, S

  30. Cincinnati Bengals: Quay Walker, LB, Georgia
    The Bengals have needed linebacker help since Vontaze Burfict left the team. Logan Wilson has played well, but another linebacker is needed.

    Pick change; previously Christian Harris, LB

  31. Denver Broncos: Christian Harris, LB, Alabama
    The Broncos were terrible against the run this past season, so they could stand to improve the middle of their defense.

    Pick change; previously Demarvioun Overshown, LB

  32. Kansas City Chiefs: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
    The Chiefs have struggled against No. 2 receivers this season. Here’s some help for the secondary.

    Kaiir Elam has a good mix of length and quickness.
