  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington State
    The Jaguars need to add some protection to help Trevor Lawrence.

    Abraham Lucas has tremendous length and athleticism.

  2. Detroit Lions: Damone Clark, LB, LSU
    The Lions have a major lack of talent at linebacker, so they’ll need to address this area soon.

    Damone Clark could be the next great LSU linebacker with his size and speed.

  3. New York Jets: Ed Ingram, G, LSU
    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.

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

  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.

  5. Houston Texans: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
    Will Fuller is gone, while Brandin Cooks is a ticking time bomb. The Texans are desperate for receiver help.

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

  6. New York Jets: Quay Walker, LB, Georgia
    The Jets sorely need to upgrade the middle of their defense.

  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.

  8. Seattle Seahawks: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
    The Seahawks need to find a new franchise quarterback in the wake of trading Russell Wilson. Drew Lock is obviously not the answer.

    Matt Corral developed well under Lane Kiffin, completing 71 percent of his passes in 2020. The Seahawks like Corral, per a report from Charlie Campbell in the NFL Hot Press, so this lines up well.

    Pick change; previously Matt Corral, QB (DEN)

  9. Seattle Seahawks: DeMarvin Leal, DE/DT, Texas A&M
    The Seahawks acquired Shelby Harris in the Russell Wilson trade, but they could still use help with the interior of their defensive line.

    DeMarvin Leal was dominant to close out the 2020 campaign, so he had lots of promise heading into 2021. He ended up recording 8.5 sacks.

    Pick change; previously Sam Howell, QB

  10. 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.

  11. Atlanta Falcons: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina
    The Falcons are hurting for talent in their secondary to pair with A.J. Terrell.

    Sam Howell threw for 38 touchdowns in 2019, which was a Division I-A record for a freshman. He doesn’t have ideal size (6-1, 225), but there’s no doubting his throwing ability.

    Pick change; previously Desmond Ridder, QB

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

    DeVonte Wyatt has some quickness despite his 315-pound frame.

  13. Baltimore Ravens: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson
    We saw what happened with Baltimore’s secondary last year. The Ravens must make sure they can cover the pass next year.

    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.

  14. Minnesota Vikings: Desmond Ridder, QB, Cincinnati
    The Vikings spent a third-round pick on Kellen Mond last year, but he appears to be a sunk cost.

    Desmond Ridder impressed this year. He has shown an improved ability to work through progression, and he’s good at using his feet to extend plays.

    Pick change; previously DeMarvin Leal, DE/DT

  15. Washington Redskins: Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan
    The Redskins will need to give Carson Wentz a receiver to throw to besides Terry McLaurin.

    Skyy Moore is a speedy receiver with great run-after-catch ability. He thrived at the combine.

    Pick change; previously Alec Pierce, WR

  16. Los Angeles Chargers: Travis Jones, NT, Connecticut
    The Chargers allowed Rex Burkhead to look like the second coming of Earl Campbell in a late-season meeting in 2021. They need a big player to clog the interior.

  17. New Orleans Saints: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
    The Saints could double up on receivers early in the 2022 NFL Draft, given their huge need at the position.

    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.

  18. Miami Dolphins: Kenneth Walker, RB, Michigan State
    The Dolphins can’t evaluate the running back talent on their team, so they’ll need to find a new player at the position.

    Kenneth Walker is a tough back who runs with great balance.

  19. Philadelphia Eagles: Brandon Smith, LB, Penn State
    You heard the kid the NFL Network had on as a guest star during the combine: The Eagles really need some help at linebacker. Brandon Smith is a very athletic linebacker with tremendous upside.

  20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State
    Here’s another offensive lineman for the Steelers, whose blocking really needs multiple upgrades.

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

  21. Las Vegas Raiders: Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota
    The Raiders had issues with their offensive line last year, so they should address this area early in the 2022 NFL Draft.

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

  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: Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
    The Cardinals had major problems at cornerback last year, thanks in part to Malcolm Butler’s departure.

    Kaiir Elam has a good mix of length and quickness.

  24. Dallas Cowboys: Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State
    The Cowboys continue to have huge problems in the secondary that they must address.

    Jaquan Brisker is an instinctive safety with good speed.

  25. Buffalo Bills: Jayln Armour-Davis, CB, Alabama
    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.

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

  26. Atlanta Falcons: Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
    Calvin Ridley may never play football again. Even if he returns in 2023, the Falcons need to find a receiver to replace Julio Jones as well.

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

    Pick change; previously Skyy Moore, WR

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

    Phidarian Mathis has excellent athleticism and upside.

  28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chasen Hines, G, LSU
    The Buccaneers just lost Ali Marpet to a surprise retirement, so they’ll need to find a replacement.

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

  29. San Francisco 49ers: R.J. Roderick, S, South Carolina
    Jaquiski Tartt is an impending free agent who may have to be replaced.

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

  30. Kansas City Chiefs: Lewis Cine, S, Georgia
    Here’s a replacement for Tyrann Mathieu if he leaves via free agency.

    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 Alec Pierce, WR

  31. Cincinnati Bengals: Christian Harris, LB, Alabama
    The Bengals have needed linebacker help since Vontaze Burfict left the team. Logan Wilson has played well, but another linebacker is needed.

  32. Denver Broncos: Luke Fortner, G/C, Kentucky
    The Broncos could use an upgrade on the offensive line, particularly in the interior.

    Luke Fortner looked very smooth in the combine drills.
