Also, if you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.

Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

The Raiders need some offensive line help to give their new quarterback a chance.

Kelvin Banks is a terrific pass protector.

The Bears could stand to add another pass rusher to help them combat the talented quarterbacks in the division.

Princely Umanmielen has good size, as well as speed and athleticism off the edge.

Pick change; previously Harold Perkins, DE

The Jaguars have needed to replace Calais Campbell for quite some time.

Walter Nolen was a highly recruited player who has shown a ton of upside.

Pick change; previously Emery Jones, OT

Will Levis has struggled in most games, but has shown some potential. The Titans are still expected to use a day-two pick on a quarterback.

Quinn Ewers has a big arm, but must improve his accuracy.

Pick change; previously Nic Anderson, WR

The Jets traded for Davante Adams – check out our NFL Trade Grades – but he’s obviously not a long-term answer across from Garrett Wilson.

Nic Anderson is a massive receiver who has loads of potential.

Pick change; previously Deion Burks, WR

Even if the Browns keep Jameis Winston, they’ll have to draft a quarterback for the future.

Carson Beck has a huge arm, plus size, and quality accuracy.

The Patriots drafted Drake Maye, so they’ll need to spend some resources to protect him.

Aiereontae Ersery is an explosive lineman, and he is a very physical blocker at the point of attack.

More front-seven help for the Bears, who need to improve against the run.

Deone Walker is a massive nose tackle, but he can generate pressure on the quarterback despite his size.

Tyler Boyd is gone, and Tee Higgins could be next. The Bengals may target a receiver with an early pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Evan Stewart wasn’t overly productive in school thus far, but he’s flashed some play-making ability at times.

The Cowboys desperately need a No. 2 receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb.

Kaden Prather is a huge receiver who runs well for his size.

The Saints can’t count on Ryan Ramczyk playing again, so they may use a second-day pick on a tackle.

Earnest Greene is a massive right tackle and a powerful run blocker.

The Colts seemingly have a million tight ends on their roster, but none of them are very good.

Colston Loveland made clutch catches during Michigan’s championship run. He projects as a decent blocker as well.

Pick change; previously Jack Velling, TE

The Falcons need better players on the defensive front because they can’t get after the quarterback at all.

Shemar Turner had a down final season. He needs some improvement to his game.

Pick change; previously J.T. Tuimoloau, DE

The Cardinals have a very weak secondary that they’ll need to address early and often.

Tacario Davis is one of the tallest cornerbacks you’ll ever see (6-foot-4). He has some speed concerns.

Another defensive lineman for the 49ers, who will likely want to strengthen this area after not addressing it in 2024.

DeMonte Capehart is a massive defensive tackle with upside.

Pick change; previously Princely Umanmielen, DE

Receiver may seem weird, but Tyreek Hill turns 31 just prior to the draft, and he has stated that he plans to retire as soon as his contract expires. Plus, the Dolphins have nothing at receiver beyond Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Emeka Egbuka was a big-time producer with C.J. Stroud during the ’22 season.

The Panthers paid big money to guards this offseason, but forgot to address their weakness at center.

Jonah Monheim can play every position on the offensive line, but looks to be best at center.

The Buccaneers drafted Graham Barton, but they still need at least one more upgrade on the offensive line.

Anthony Belton is a massive tackle, but has enough quickness and athleticism to remain on the edge.

Acquiring Baltimore’s former backfield likely won’t work very well for the Chargers, given J.K. Dobbins’ injury history. Here’s a much-needed running back upgrade.

Ollie Gordon is a big back, but showed functional receiving ability along with his impressive vision and contact balance.

Sean Payton is no fan of Javonte Williams. He’ll want to find an upgrade.

Omarion Hampton is a big back who has shown decent receiving ability.

The Seahawks lost numerous linebackers last offseason, so replacements will be needed.

Jihaad Campbell has impressive athleticism for a larger linebacker.

The running game is very important for the Ravens, and Derrick Henry won’t be around forever.

Quinshon Judkins is a tough runner who was productive for Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State.

The Redskins need a better No. 2 option across from Terry McLaurin.

Savion Williams is a huge receiver, measuring at 6-foot-5.

Many quarterbacks hate interior pressure more than anything, so the Texans may want to upgrade this area to combat the lethal passing attacks in the AFC.

Landon Jackson has high upside and can play end in the 4-3 and five-tech in the 3-4.

The Packers will have to find a viable replacement for De’Vondre Campbell at some point.

Danny Stutsman is a very instinctive linebacker.

The Steelers have some issues defending deep passes, so they may target another cornerback.

Daylen Everette has a ton of upside with a strong skill set.

Damar Hamlin is seeing far too many snaps, so the Bills have to upgrade their poor safety situation.

Rod Moore is a versatile safety with nice ball skills.

The Bills are weaker to the run than the pass, so they could stand to add a defensive tackle.

T.J. Sanders had a breakout ’23 season. He possesses a ton of upside.

The Eagles have two star receivers, but they could stand to add depth at the position.

Trey Harris is a big receiver who makes contested catches.

Travis Kelce is in his mid-30s, so the Chiefs may want to find a tight end for the future.

Jack Velling was a touchdown machine at Oregon State, showing some impressive receiving ability.

Pick change; previously DeMonte Capehart, DT

The Lions are great because of their offensive line. They could stand to add a young guard to eventually take over for one of the veterans.

Donovan Jackson is a tough blocker with upside.

Pick change; previously Mansoor Delane, CB
