  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: R.J. Roderick, S, South Carolina
    Here’s more help for the Jaguars, who need upgrades all over their defense.

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

  2. Philadelphia Eagles: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
    I’ll be shocked if Jalen Reagor makes a big leap in 2021. I believe the Eagles will want to upgrade him.

    Chris Olave has a good mix of size (6-1, 185) and speed. He was a big play-maker at the end of 2019.

  3. Detroit Lions: Josh Jobe, CB, Alabama
    The Lions need some cornerback help across from Jeff Okudah, or perhaps a replacement for him in the future.

    Josh Jobe is a big, athletic cornerback with tremendous upside.

    Pick change; previously Jayln Armour-Davis, CB

  4. New York Giants: Ed Ingram, G, LSU
    The interior offensive line is still a weakness for the Giants, so this is a way to give Daniel Jones more help.

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



  5. New York Jets: Zakoby McClain, LB, Auburn
    The Jets have been weak at linebacker for quite some time, so here’s an upgrade.

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

  6. New England Patriots: Amare Barno, DE, Virginia Tech
    The Patriots could use edge-rushing help to allow them to defeat Josh Allen.

    NFL advance scouts were impressed with Amare Barno’s 2020 tape that saw him accumulate 6.5 sacks.

    Pick change; previously George Karlaftis, DE

  7. Atlanta Falcons: Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
    The Falcons will need a replacement for Julio Jones, so perhaps they can use Tennessee’s pick on another Alabama receiver.

    Treylon Burks is a 6-foot-3 receiver with good speed.

    Pick change; previously Amare Barno, DE

  8. Houston Texans: John Metchie, WR, Alabama
    Will Fuller is gone, while Brandin Cooks is a ticking time bomb. The Texans are desperate for receiver help.

    John Metchie has a tendency to make big plays for Alabama’s offense.



  9. Philadelphia Eagles: Demarvioun Overshown, LB, Texas
    The Eagles have one of the worst linebacking corps in the NFL that they need to address.

    Demarvioun Overshown was flying all over the field in Texas’ impressive Week 1 win versus Louisiana.

    Pick change; previously Nakobe Dean, LB

  10. Seattle Seahawks: D’Vonte Price, RB, Florida International
    Rashaad Penny has been a failure, so the Seahawks could use an early selection on a running back sometime soon.

    D’Vonte Price has a nice combination of size and quickness.

  11. Chicago Bears: Jayln Armour-Davis, CB, Alabama
    The Bears have some serious problems at cornerback after losing Kyle Fuller this offseason.

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

    Pick change; previously Akayleb Evans, CB



  12. Washington Redskins: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina
    The Redskins will use an early pick on a quarterback, especially after Taylor Heinicke’s dreadful performance at Buffalo.

    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 Carson Strong, QB

  13. 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.

    Pick change; previously Carson Strong, QB



  14. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jayden Daniels, QB, Arizona State
    The Steelers need to find a replacement for Ben Roethlisberger this upcoming offseason.

    Jayden Daniels has nice upside and could be a second-round selection.

    Pick change; previously Darian Kinnard, OT

  15. Kansas City Chiefs: Drake London, WR, USC
    Sammy Watkins is gone, so the Chiefs will want to find a No. 2 receiver at some point.

    Drake London has mismatch size, and he could be in for a big 2021 season with other receivers gone.

    Pick change; previously Jalen Tolbert, WR






  16. Miami Dolphins: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
    The Dolphins will be looking for linebacker help after the Benardrick McKinney experiment failed.

    Nakobe Dean is an athletic and instinctive linebacker.

    Pick change; previously Demarvioun Overshown, LB

  17. Cleveland Browns: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College
    I don’t anticipate Odell Beckham Jr. being on the roster much longer, so the Browns could be interested in another receiver.

    Zay Flowers is a 5-10 receiver, but he has game-breaking speed.

    Pick change; previously George Pickens, WR

  18. New Orleans Saints: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
    The Saints have needed a No. 2 receiver across from Michael Thomas for quite some time.

    George Pickens had an amazing freshman season. He has nice size (6-3), tremendous athleticism and a wide catch radius.

    Pick change; previously Drake London, WR



  19. Atlanta Falcons: Brenton Cox, DE/OLB, Florida
    The Falcons haven’t possessed a potent edge rusher in a long while. They can begin to bolster their defense by finding one.

    Brenton Cox has a nice skill set and plenty of athleticism and upside.

    Pick change; previously Amare Barno, DE




  20. 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.

    Pick change; previously Phidarian Mathis, DT

  21. San Francisco 49ers: Juanyeh Thomas, S, Georgia Tech
    Jaquiski Tartt is an impending free agent who may have to be replaced.

    Juanyeh Thomas has nice speed and athleticism.

    Pick change; previously Bubba Bolden, S

  22. Cincinnati Bengals: Terrell Bernard, LB, Baylor
    The Bengals have needed linebacker help since Vontaze Burfict left the team.

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

  23. Dallas Cowboys: Smoke Monday, S, Auburn
    The Cowboys continue to have huge problems in the secondary that they must address.

    Smoke Monday has great tackling ability.

  24. Buffalo Bills: Ventrell Miller, LB, Florida
    Tremaine Edmunds might be on his way out next offseason, so here’s a potential replacement.

    Ventrell Miller is a fast linebacker who has become a nice play-maker in Florida’s defense.



  25. Baltimore Ravens: Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama
    The Ravens drafted Rashod Bateman in the first round, but they still could use another receiver.

    Jalen Tolbert has shown some big -play ability, but level of competition is obviously a question mark.

    Pick change; previously Zay Flowers, WR

  26. Los Angeles Chargers: Charlie Kolar, TE, Iowa State
    Jared Cook is just a temporary solution as a replacement for Hunter Henry. Here’s a long-term option.

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

    Pick change; previously Brenton Cox, DE/OLB



  27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson
    Cornerback is the one weak group on Tampa Bay’s roster.

    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 Josh Jobe, CB

  28. New York Jets: Isaiah Spiller, RB, Texas A&M
    The Jets waited until the fifth round to take a running back, so they could address that need with this pick.

    Isaiah Spiller rushed for 1,036 yards and nine touchdowns in 2020. He did OK as a receiver out of the backfield.

  29. Arizona Cardinals: Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama
    The Cardinals obtained J.J. Watt this offseason, but he’s obviously not a long-term solution on the defensive line.

    Phidarian Mathis has excellent athleticism and upside.

    Pick change; previously LaBryan Ray, DT

  30. Las Vegas Raiders: Kenyon Green, G, Texas A&M
    Despite selecting Alex Leatherwood in the opening round, the Raiders still need to improve their regressing 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 Chasen Hines, G

  31. Denver Broncos: James Skalski, LB, Clemson
    The Broncos have been looking for linebacker help for quite a while, so perhaps they’ll fix that issue with this pick.

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

    Pick change; previously Henry To’o To’o, LB

  32. Los Angeles Rams: Darian Kinnard, OT, Kentucky
    Andrew Whitworth will retire soon, so the Rams will need a new left tackle.

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

    Pick change; previously Charlie Kolar, TE
