  1. NFL Team Logo for Jaguars Jacksonville Jaguars: Zachary Carter, DT, Florida Florida

    The Jaguars are still searching for a replacement for Calais Campbell.

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

  2. NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Charlie Kolar, TE, Iowa State Iowa State

    The Texans could stand to add more production to their tight ends.

    Charlie Kolar is a quality route runner who has nice hands.

  3. NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Joshua Ezeudu, OT, North Carolina North Carolina

    The Texans will have to bolster their offensive line a bit to give Davis Mills a chance to succeed.

  4. NFL Team Logo for Seahawks Seattle Seahawks: Troy Andersen, LB, Montana State Montana State

    The Seahawks lost Bobby Wagner in free agency this offseason, so they'll need a new linebacker.

    Troy Andersen has terrific athleticism and was one of the winners at the combine.

  5. NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Kyren Williams, RB, Notre Dame Notre Dame

    The Ravens sorely lacked depth behind J.K. Dobbins last year. Dobbins may not be 100 percent entering 2022.

  6. NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State Penn State

    The Jets could double up on linebackers, given their issues at the position.

    Brandon Smith is a very athletic linebacker with tremendous upside.

  7. NFL Team Logo for Giants New York Giants: Marquis Hayes, G, Oklahoma Oklahoma

    The Giants are expected to obtain two offensive linemen in the first half of the 2022 NFL Draft.

  8. NFL Team Logo for Redskins Washington Redskins: Jayln Armour-Davis, CB, Alabama Alabama

    I would expect the Redskins to double up at cornerback, given their issues at the position.

    Jayln Armour-Davis is a 6-1 cornerback with a good skill set.

  9. NFL Team Logo for Falcons Atlanta Falcons: Kevin Austin Jr., WR, Notre Dame Notre Dame

    A third receiver is possible with Calvin Ridley suspended for the year and Russell Gage gone.

    Kevin Austin ran an impressive combine 40 despite his large frame.

  10. NFL Team Logo for Broncos Denver Broncos: Bubba Bolden, S, Miami Miami

    The Broncos may lose Kareem Jackson in the near future, so here's a potential replacement.

  11. NFL Team Logo for Broncos Denver Broncos: Jaylen Watson, CB, Washington State Washington State

    The Broncos can't rely on Ronald Darby, so they'll need a new cornerback across from Patrick Surtain.

  12. NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Dominique Robinson, DE, Miami of Ohio Miami (Ohio)

    To quote Play Like a Jet's Scott Mason, "Jet fans may revolt if the team doesn't draft an edge rusher." They could draft two of them.

  13. NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Zamir White, RB, Georgia Georgia

    The Texans could spend multiple picks on running backs to create an entirely new backfield.

    Zamir White has been an impressive back in Georgia's committee this year.

  14. NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Terrel Bernard, LB, Baylor Baylor

    The Ravens had an issue defending the middle of the field last season, so some linebacker help is needed.

    Terrel Bernard has three-down starting potential for the NFL.

  15. NFL Team Logo for Saints New Orleans Saints: Darrian Beavers, LB, Cincinnati Cincinnati

    The Saints will be looking to bolster their thin linebacking corps in the middle of the draft.

  16. NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Brian Asamoah, LB, Oklahoma Oklahoma

    The Chiefs always seem to have a weak linebacking corps, so they'll need to address that at some point.

  17. NFL Team Logo for Colts Indianapolis Colts: Isaiah Likely, TE, Coastal Carolina Coastal Carolina

    Jack Doyle retired, so the Colts may want to acquire another tight end.

    Isaiah Likely has nice upside as a great athlete who runs routes well.

  18. NFL Team Logo for Chargers Los Angeles Chargers: John Ridgeway, DT, Alabama Arkansas

    The Chargers need to get stronger in the interior, as they allowed Rex Burkhead to look like Earl Campbell.

    John Ridgeway has a nice combination of size and speed.

  19. NFL Team Logo for Eagles Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Badie, RB, Missouri Missouri

    The Eagles always seem to be in favor of drafting a running back at some point. I expect them to do so once again.

    Tyler Badie is a small back, but he has positive strength and quickness.

  20. NFL Team Logo for Dolphins Miami Dolphins: Zakoby McClain, LB, Auburn Auburn

    The Dolphins brought in more linebackers than any other position for top-30 visits leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft.

    Zakoby McClain is a tackling machine who needs to improve his pass coverage.

  21. NFL Team Logo for Raiders Las Vegas Raiders: Spencer Burford, OT, Texas-San Antonio Texas-San Antonio

    The Raiders could target another offensive lineman to really bolster their blocking.

  22. NFL Team Logo for Patriots New England Patriots: LaBryan Ray, DT, Alabama Alabama

    The Patriots could stand to add some players who can get pressure on the talented quarterbacks in the conference.

    LaBryan Ray flashed a bit alongside Quinnen Williams and now has a larger role on Alabama.

  23. NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Kalon Barnes, CB, Baylor Baylor

    Cornerback was a big problem area for the Ravens last year, so it'll have to be addressed at some point.

  24. NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Max Mitchell, OT, Louisiana-Lafayette La.-Lafayette

    The Cowboys replaced Connor Williams earlier. Here's someone to take La'el Collins' spot.

    Max Mitchell seems like a solid right tackle prospect for the NFL.

  25. NFL Team Logo for Bills Buffalo Bills: Jalen Wydermyer, TE, Texas A&M Texas A&M

    The Bills will be looking for a tight end to pair with Dawson Knox at some point in the Round 3-5 range.

    Jalen Wydermyer had a big sophomore campaign. He's a big tight end (6-5, 260) and has terrific receiving ability.

  26. NFL Team Logo for Titans Tennessee Titans: Cade Otton, TE, Washington Washington

    The Titans have needed tight end help for quite some time.

    Cade Otton missed a bunch of action in 2021 with injuries, but was more productive in 2020.

  27. NFL Team Logo for Packers Green Bay Packers: Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State Ohio State

    The Packers need another offensive weapon, this time at tight end as an upgrade over Robert Tonyan.

  28. NFL Team Logo for Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tyler Allgeier, RB, BYU BYU

    Ronald Jones is gone, so the Buccaneers could stand to add another running back.

    Tyler Allgeier is new to the position as a former linebacker, but he is an impressive runner who has shown an ability to catch the ball well.

  29. NFL Team Logo for 49ers San Francisco 49ers: Tariq Castro-Fields, CB, Penn State Penn State

    The 49ers could target a cornerback much earlier than this, given their problems at the position.

    Tariq Castro-Fields has drawn comparisons to Marlon Humphrey. He has great ball skills and happens to be very fast. There are injury issues, however.

  30. NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Zyon McCollum, CB, Sam Houston State Sam Houston State

    As noted earlier, the Chiefs lost Charvarius Ward in free agency, so they'll have to find a new cornerback, or perhaps two.

    Zyon McCollum has impressive size and length.

  31. NFL Team Logo for Bengals Cincinnati Bengals: Bryan Cook, S, Cincinnati Cincinnati

    The Bengals could stand to add another defensive back to disrupt all the talented quarterbacks in the conference.

  32. NFL Team Logo for Panthers Carolina Panthers: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss Ole Miss

    Let me put this in caps because I'll get e-mails about it otherwise: I DO NOT BELIEVE MATT CORRAL WILL FALL TO THE FOURTH ROUND. There's speculation that Carolina likes Corral, so I believe it'll trade this selection, as well as a second-round pick next year, to move into this year's second round to draft him.

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

  33. NFL Team Logo for Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: James Skalski, LB, Clemson Clemson

    The Steelers will be looking to bolster the middle of their defense in an effort to improve their ability to stop the run.

    James Skalski is a solid player, but could use a nice combine to show teams that he has greater upside.

  34. NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Myjai Sanders, DE, Cincinnati Cincinnati

    The Ravens will need a better edge rush to keep them from blitzing so often.

    Myjai Sanders saw a decline in sacks last year, but was better than his numbers indicated.

  35. NFL Team Logo for Packers Green Bay Packers: Chasen Hines, G, LSU LSU

    In addition to adding more receivers, the Packers will need to spend some draft capital to improve Aaron Rodgers' blocking.

    Chasen Hines is a massive interior lineman who needs to work on pass protection.

  36. NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Nick Zakelj, OT, Fordham Fordham

    The Ravens are expected to select at least two offensive linemen to aid Lamar Jackson.

  37. NFL Team Logo for Rams Los Angeles Rams: Grant Morgan, LB, Arkansas Arkansas

    The Rams don't have the deepest linebacking corps, so they could address that area with this pick.

    Grant Morgan is a mediocre athlete but has great instincts.

  38. NFL Team Logo for Titans Tennessee Titans: Carson Strong, QB, Nevada Nevada

    The Titans have been digging into mid-round quarterbacks in an attempt to find a potential successor for Ryan Tannehill.

    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.
