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 Giants need to ensure that their next quarterback has adequate protection, unlike what Daniel Jones has experienced.

Josh Conerly is a quick and athletic pass protector.

The Titans need to add weapons for their new quarterback to pair with Calvin Ridley.

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

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

Tyleik Williams played well against Joe Alt in their ’23 matchup.

The Raiders will have to draft a quarterback at some point.

Jalen Milroe is a dangerous runner who has a solid arm. He needs to improve his ability to read coverages.

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

Josh Simmons is an athletic left tackle with plus strength, but is coming off a torn ACL.

Pick change; previously Aiereontae Ersery, OT

All three of Chicago’s interior offensive linemen are impending free agents. There’s a chance they may have to draft two guards.

Donovan Jackson is a tough blocker with upside.

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

Jonah Savaiinea is a quick blocker with plus athleticism.

Pick change; previously Earnest Greene, OT

Here’s some 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.

The Jets foolishly passed on Brock Bowers. They’ll have to use a major resource on the position if they want any productivity from it.

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

Pick change; previously Isaiah Bond, WR

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

Joshua Farmer was solid in run support while also putting decent pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Pick change; previously DeMonte Capehart, DT

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

Elijah Arroyo recovered well off a torn ACL. He has great size, quickness and athleticism, and he’s a terrific route runner.

Pick change; previously Colston Loveland, 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.

The Cardinals have had a weak defensive line since J.J. Watt and Chandler Jones left. They need some upgrades.

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

Pick change; previously Jahdae Barron, CB

The Dolphins need some new cornerbacks with Jalen Ramsey aging out of the NFL.

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

The Bengals missed D.J. Reader last year. They’ll need to find some help for the interior of their defensive line.

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

The Seahawks had the weakest interior offensive line in the NFL last year when Connor Williams retired.

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

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 Steelers need to find a potential franchise quarterback at some point.

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

The Buccaneers have some major problems in their secondary, particularly at cornerback. What could help is an explosive edge rusher to rattle opposing quarterbacks.

J.T. Tuimoloau has flashed some great pass-rushing potential, but must be more consistent.

Lukas Van Ness has been a disappointment for the Packers thus far. Some competition is needed to improve the pass rush.

Sai’vion Jones is very athletic, but didn’t live up to it in college. He had a monster Senior Bowl.

Pick change; previously Princely Umanmielen, DE

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.

The Bills could stand to add another edge rusher with Von Miller’s career nearly being finished.

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

Pick change; previously Jack Sawyer, DE

The Panthers had severe issues stopping the run and getting to the quarterback last year.

DeMonte Capehart is a massive defensive tackle with upside.

Pick change; previously Ty Hamilton, DT

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.

Nic Scourton had a breakout ’23 season with 10 sacks. He has a huge frame and possesses massive upside as a potential defensive end or five-technique.

Pick change; previously Landon Jackson, DE/DT

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

Treveyon Henderson has been an impressive runner and receiver out of the backfield.

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.

Marcus Mbow has some quickness and athleticism, but needs to get stronger.

Pick change; previously Javontez Spraggins, G

The Redskins have nothing at receiver outside of Terry McLaurin. They could double up on wideouts.

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

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.

Both Marquise Brown and DeAndre Hopkins are set to hit free agency. Receiver continues to be a need for the Chiefs.

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