Pick change; previously Daylen Everette, CB

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.

Pick change; previously Anthony Belton, OT

Devin Singletary is just a temporary solution for Saquon Barkley. Here’s a long-term running back.

Ashon Jeanty has impressive speed and athleticism, and he also possesses terrific receiving ability.

Pick change; previously Nic Anderson, WR

Byron Murphy was thought to be in consideration for the Bears’ No. 9 overall pick, so Chicago could take another defensive tackle with this pick.

Kenneth Grant has flashed upside and is considered an underrated talent.

Pick change; previously Ty Hamilton, DT

The Cardinals lost so much pass-rushing talent in recent years, so they’ll have to find some more help for their front seven.

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

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

Jamon Dumas-Johnson is an instinctive linebacker with a strong skill set.

DeAndre Hopkins won’t be around much longer, while Calvin Ridley hasn’t been welcome in any locker room yet. Tennessee could be searching for a receiver with this pick.

Antwane Wells barely played this past season, but has some potential.

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

Tyler Booker isn’t an elite athlete, but he has incredible length.

The Texans lost a number of skilled linebackers in free agency, so they’ll have to rebuild the position.

Barrett Carter makes splash plays and has nice upside.

The Saints need more weapons aside from Chris Olave. They could target a tight end with this pick.

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

Jahan Dotson struggled in his second year, while Curtis Samuel departed this past offseason. Some receiver help is needed.

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

Acquiring Baltimore’s former backfield likely won’t work very well for the Chargers. Here’s a much-needed running back upgrade.

Travis Etienne’s brother is small, but has home run ability.

The Steelers attacked their offensive line in the 2024 NFL Draft. Perhaps they’ll do the same with their secondary in 2025, given that it has been a weakness of late.

Gentry Williams is a great athlete with plus ball skills.

More front-seven help for the Bears, who need a better pass rusher opposite of Montez Sweat.

David Bailey needs to add some bulk, but he’s a talented edge rusher.

The Raiders may use an early-round choice in 2025 to replace Josh Jacobs.

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

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

Oscar Delp showed promise playing second fiddle to Brock Bowers.

Amari Cooper turns 30 this summer, and I’m skeptical about the Jerry Jeudy trade.

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

Pick change; previously Luther Burden, WR

Consecutive offensive line picks for the Ravens, who really need to fix their blocking.

Donovan Jackson is a tough blocker with upside.

The Falcons have a succession plan for Kirk Cousins, so why not one for Jake Matthews, who will be in his mid-30s by the time the 2025 NFL Draft occurs?

Trey Zuhn is a nasty run blocker with good length to play well in pass protection.

Pick change; previously Elijah Pritchett, OT

Will the Cowboys finally obtain a new starting running back?

Montrell Johnson is a downhill runner who picks up lots of yards after contact.

More secondary help for the Jaguars, who may regret passing on Terrion Arnold.

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

Pick change; previously Justin Walley, CB

The Dolphins could use some receiving depth, especially with Tyreek Hill now in his 30s.

Dillon Bell is an explosive receiver and a solid route runner.

Buffalo doesn’t have the best linebacker depth, which will be a problem if Matt Milano gets hurt again.

Smael Mondon Jr. has speed and athleticism to go with a good skill set.

The Jets have a great defense, but they have a weakness at safety that must be addressed.

Sonny Styles is a huge safety who moves like a smaller player.

Pick change; previously Tim Keenan, NT

Giving a young quarterback and a dynamic running back more offensive line help is never a bad thing.

Tate Ratledge’s run blocking is ahead of his pass protection right now.

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

Jahfari Harvey is a developed pass rusher with quality athleticism.

Joe Mixon is just a temporary solution at running back. A long-term answer is needed.

Roydell Williams is a quick back with a strong build.

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

Seth McLaughlin is a tough, intelligent technician.

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.

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

There was some speculation that the Lions could draft a guard this past spring. They did, but waited until the late rounds to do so.

Jack Nelson started at left tackle for Wisconsin. He could continue to play tackle, or perhaps move inside to guard in the NFL.

The Chiefs don’t have the best tackle play, so they could draft another player at the position.

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

Pick change; previously Mason Taylor, TE

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

Harrison Wallace has nice size, but needs to add some bulk to his frame.

Pick change; previously Dillon Bell, WR
