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 Panthers don’t have much depth at cornerback, so they could use a mid-round pick to fix that.

Robert Longerbeam is a terrific, speedy athlete.

The Titans have shown interest in tight ends during the pre-draft process. It makes sense to find another weapon for Cam Ward.

Terrance Ferguson was a quality contributor for Oregon.

Jacksonville should find a tackle to develop just in case Anton Harrison doesn’t pan out.

Cameron Williams is a massive tackle with talent, but he’s very raw.

The Raiders will be drafting a quarterback at some point to develop behind Geno Smith.

Will Howard has an above-average arm, plus accuracy, and solid mobility.

The Patriots need to continue to add to their pass rush.

Mikail Kamara lacks height and length, but has great quickness and a non-stop motor.

The Jets drafted Olu Fashanu last year, but they need a bookend for him after losing Morgan Moses.

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

With extra fourth- and fifth-round picks, the Panthers could use a selection to fill their kicker need.

Ryan Fitzgerald was 13-of-13 last year, including 5-of-5 from 50-plus.

The 49ers have been scouting kickers aggressively during the lead-up to the 2025 NFL Draft.

Andres Borregales was 18-of-19 last year, including 7-of-8 from 40-plus.

The Bears could use another safety with Kevin Byard close to aging out of the NFL.

Marques Sigle was the fastest safety at the combine.

The Cowboys have some major issues on the offensive line that must be addressed.

Jalen Rivers is a versatile blocker who played both tackle and guard at Miami.

Given how weak the offensive line was last year, the Dolphins should consider spending three picks on blockers.

Garrett Dillinger is versatile in that he has some experience at left tackle, but mostly played guard.

The Colts signed Charvarius Ward, but they still need another cornerback to fix their secondary.

Woody Marks is a strongly built runner who excels as a receiver out of the backfield.

Pick change; previously Denzel Burke, CB

The Cardinals aren’t very strong in the middle of the defense, so they’ll need to spend at least one pick addressing that.

Oluwafemi Oladejo is a bigger linebacker who was able to rush the passer well last season.

The Bengals need to continue adding talent on all levels of their horrendous defense.

Andrew Mukuba is seen as a riser who has had some great performances in his final year.

The Giants didn’t do much in free agency to address receiver, aside from re-signing Darius Slayton.

Chimere Dike is a tall receiver who was productive at Florida.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone to see another offensive line pick to Miami.

Seth McLaughlin is a tough, intelligent technician.

The Steelers have been scouting running backs heavily because of Najee Harris’ departure.

Raheim Sanders is a big back with plenty of speed.

The Broncos need to prepare for life without Lavonte David in the near future. They could double dip at linebacker.

Jay Higgins had the fastest cone time among all linebackers at the combine.

The Chargers could address their weak cornerback group much earlier than this, perhaps even No. 22 overall.

Jordan Hancock is a very instinctive cornerback and a willing tackler.

The Packers could target multiple receivers to compensate for Christian Watson’s injury.

Isaiah Neyor has an ACL tear in his past.

The 49ers love to draft defensive linemen, so I expect them to do that on multiple occasions this offseason.

C.J. West is a quick, strong, and thick defensive tackle.

The Eagles have two great receivers, but nothing beyond them. They’ll have to address that at some point.

Jaylin Noel was productive at Iowa State, but has some size and speed concerns.

The Jets obviously need help at receiver after losing Davante Adams this offseason.

Jaylin Lane projects as a slot receiver in the NFL.

It would be a major upset if the Panthers didn’t acquire multiple edge rushers to help bolster their weak pass rush.

David Walker is a dangerous pass rusher, though level of competition is an issue.

The Eagles lost Kenneth Gainwell to the Steelers, so they’ll need a new running back.

Travis Etienne’s brother is small, but has home run ability. He’s a quality receiver out of the backfield.

The Eagles love drafting edge rushers, so they’ll make sure to do that at some point.

Antwaun Powell-Ryland needs to bulk up, but he’s a dangerous pass rusher and could serve as a specialist.

The Texans need to give C.J. Stroud all the protection he needs.

Miles Frazier is a big guard who is coming off a solid season.

The Titans lost a couple of linebackers this offseason, so they’ll need to replenish their depth.

Deonte Lawson is a tough run defender.

The Eagles lost a couple of cornerbacks this offseason, so they’ll need to address the position at some point.

Bihal Kone is a big cornerback who displayed impressive tackling skills.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone if the Bills obtained two receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Sam Brown Jr. is a quality athlete. He had the best vertical jump among all receivers at the combine.

The Bills should find some competition for Damar Hamlin.

Rayuan Lane is a tough defender, but is undersized.

The Cowboys will likely target two or three receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft, given their dire need at the position.

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

Cooper Kupp is obviously just a short-term solution.

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

The Bills aren’t very deep on the offensive line, so they could target a mid-round blocker for depth.

Ajani Cornelius has some developmental potential. His pass protection is ahead of his run blocking.

The Cowboys need someone to challenge the disappointing Mazi Smith.

Jamaree Caldwell is a monstrous run stuffer.

The Seahawks could use a new safety to challenge for one of the starting jobs.

R.J. Mickens showed off some great athleticism at the combine.

The Ravens signed Chidobe Awuzie, but they still need a cornerback to help such a problematic position.

Zemaiah Vaughn is a lengthy cornerback, but must improve his ball skills.
