  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State
    The Jaguars spent big bucks on Christian Kirk and Zay Jones, but they may want another receiver, especially if they trade Laviska Shenault.

    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.

  2. Detroit Lions: Alontae Taylor, CB, Tennessee
    Jeff Okudah looks like a bust thus far, but even if he pans out, the Lions still need cornerback help for their horrendous secondary.

    The speedy Alontae Taylor has put together some great tape as a corner in the SEC.

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

  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. This pick would still make sense if New York takes an edge player at No. 5 or 7.

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

  5. Houston Texans: Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State
    Bill O’Brien may disagree, but it’s a sad state of affairs to have Rex Burkhead as your lead back. The Texans need someone new to complement their next franchise quarterback.

    Breece Hall is a physical runner who has quality receiving skills.

  6. New York Jets: Kenneth Walker, RB, Michigan State
    Michael Carter had a solid rookie year, but the Jets will be looking for a true lead back sometime on Day 2.

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

  7. Chicago Bears: Kenyon Green, G, Texas A&M
    The Bears already had offensive line woes, and that was before losing James Daniels in free agency.

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

  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.

  9. Seattle Seahawks: Josh Paschal, DE, Kentucky
    The Seahawks had no pass rush last year, so they’ll need to add defensive linemen to their roster this offseason.

    Josh Paschal is stout as a run defender, and he can also get some pressure on the quarterback.

    Pick change; previously Cameron Thomas, DE

  10. Indianapolis Colts: Bernhard Raimann, OT, Central Michigan
    The Colts need a new left tackle, as Eric Fisher was 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 will need a long-term answer at quarterback despite signing Marcus Mariota.

    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.

  12. Cleveland Browns: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
    The Browns acquired Amari Cooper, but Deshaun Watson still needs another receiver.

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

  13. Baltimore Ravens: DeMarvin Leal, DE/DT, Texas A&M
    The Ravens may lose Calais Campbell this offseason, so here’s a potential replacement. .

    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.

  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.

  15. Washington Redskins: Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Kentucky
    The Redskins will need to give Carson Wentz a receiver to throw to besides Terry McLaurin.

    Wan’Dale Robinson has game-breaking speed.

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

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

  17. New Orleans Saints: Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
    The Saints could double up on receivers early in the 2022 NFL Draft, given their huge need at the position.

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

  18. Kansas City Chiefs: Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan
    It’s going to take more than one player to replace Tyreek Hill. The Chiefs could easily double up on receivers in the first two rounds.

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

  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 new 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. Green Bay Packers: Travis Jones, NT, Connecticut
    The Packers have struggled to stop the run in recent years, so perhaps they’ll do something about it early in the 2022 NFL Draft.

  22. New England Patriots: Daxton Hill, S/CB, Michigan
    The Patriots could use some youth in their secondary, and Bill Belichick is always down for obtaining versatile players.

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

  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: Martin Emerson, CB, Mississippi State
    The Falcons need another cornerback to go along with A.J. Terrell.

    Martin Emerson is a tall cornerback with good length.

    Pick change; previously Boye Mafe, DE

  27. Green Bay Packers: Calvin Austin, WR, Memphis
    The Packers almost have to spend two of their first four selections on receivers in the wake of Davante Adams’ departure.

    Calvin Austin is small receiver (5-9) but is very fast and elusive.

    Pick change; previously Phidarian Mathis, DT

  28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Drake Jackson, DE, USC
    Jason Pierre-Paul is a free agent, so the Buccaneers will want to add an edge rusher to go along with Shaq Barrett and Joe Tryon.

    Pick change; previously Chasen Hines, G

  29. San Francisco 49ers: Boye Mafe, DE, Minnesota
    It’s been reported that Dee Ford won’t return in 2022, so the 49ers will need another edge rusher.

    Pick change; previously Jalen Pitre, S

  30. Kansas City Chiefs: Logan Hall, DE, Houston
    The Chiefs need another edge rusher, especially with all the talented quarterbacks suddenly in the AFC.

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

    Pick change; previously Lewis Cine, S

  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: Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington
    The Broncos can’t count on Ronald Darby staying healthy, so they’ll want to add another outside cornerback.

    Kyler Gordon is a solid cornerback, though he doesn’t get many turnovers.

    Pick change; previously Daniel Faalele, OT
