The Giants add a potential right tackle upgrade.
Belton put together a good 2023 season for the Wolfpack, helping his draft standing with NFL teams thanks to showing next-level ability. Alongside his size, Belton (6-6, 336) has enough quickness and athleticism to remain an edge blocker in the pros. Team sources said they had a third-round grade on Belton for the 2024 NFL Draft if he had decided to enter the draft. They noted that he might start as a backup but could develop into a starter. Belton could rise for the 2025 draft.

Rd: 1 Pk: 2The Jaguars could use more offensive line talent after trading Cam Robinson.
Greene was Georgia’s starter at left tackle in 2023 and played well. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder fits with some other Bulldogs left tackles who have not been typical edge protectors in terms of size, but he is strong and athletic.

Rd: 1 Pk: 1Even if Nick Chubb is brought back, the Browns could consider more running back talent to go with him.
In 2024, Gordon has averaged 4.2 yards per carry for 714 yards with 10 touchdowns. He has 25 catches for 131 yards. Gordon missed some time with an injury. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound Gordon was one of the most effective running backs in college football in 2023, as he ripped off 1,732 yards with 21 touchdowns while averaging 6.1 yards per carry. He also showed functional receiving ability for a big back, with 39 catches for 330 yards and a touchdown. As a runner, Gordon has impressive vision and contact balance and can pick up yards after contact. He has quality speed for a big back with a straight-line burst to outrun some defenders on long runs. Gordon has soft hands and is natural catching the ball. He could stand to improve his knee bend to run more behind his pads as he is prone to running upright. He also requires some steps to hit top speed, so improving his burst would be helpful for the NFL.

Rd: 1 Pk: 4The Raiders take a replacement for Davante Adams.
Williams has had a strong start to the 2024 season with 54 receptions for 580 yards and six touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder is a huge receiver that presents a big target for his quarterback. Williams looks improved over his production in 2023 (41-573-4) and 2022 (29-392-4).

Rd: 1 Pk: 5The Titans add more defensive line talent.
In 2024, Hamilton has 30 tackles with 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble. Team sources said they liked how Hamilton played during 2023. On the year, he totaled 38 tackles and two sacks. Hamilton (6-3, 295) was solid in run defense and stout at the point of attack. He possesses sufficient size to hold up in the ground game and flashes some quickness and athleticism on the inside of the line.

Rd: 1 Pk: 3The Saints could use a big receiver to go with Chris Olave.
In 2024, Prather has 47 receptions for 503 yards and three touchdowns. During the 2023 season, some team sources said Prather (6-4, 212) was similar to Adonai Mitchell, but that Prather is a little faster and stronger. In 2023, Prather caught 41 passes for 609 yards and five touchdowns. He played at West Virginia previously, catching 52 balls for 501 yards and three scores in 2022. Prather has a good skill set and upside.

Rd: 1 Pk: 7The Jets add a young quarterback to develop.
In 2024, Allar has completed 70 percent of his passes for 2,006 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions. Allar completed 60 percent of his passes in 2023 for 2,631 yards, 25 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The 6-foot-5, 243-pounder has a powerful arm and the potential to be a special pocket passer.

Rd: 1 Pk: 840. | Chicago Bears: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky |
The Bears add more interior defensive line talent.
In 2024, Walker has 32 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two passes defended thus far. Walker has been disappointing compared to his 2023 play. In 2023, he had 7.5 sacks with 55 tackles, 12.5 tackles for a loss, two passes batted, and eight hurries. It was a big jump from his 2022 season when he had 40 tackles with one sack and two passes batted. Walker (6-6, 348) is a mammoth defensive tackle with surprising athleticism and quickness for a player of his size, but he doesn’t play with power or physicality, and he has played too high often in 2024.

Rd: 1 Pk: 17 | Rd: 2 Pk: 16The Patriots add a weapon for Drake Maye.
In 2023, Egbuka had 47 catches for 577 yards and eight touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder turned in 74 receptions for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022. He emerged as a potential No. 1 receiver or really good No. 2 wideout. At other schools, Egbuka would have had an even bigger year, but he was the No. 2 receiver for Ohio State across from Marvin Harrison Jr. While injuries were a factor in 2023, Egbuka needs a bounce-back season in 2024 as he looked much faster in 2022 compared to his 2023 performance. Thus far in 2024, Egbuka has 43 catches for 546 yards and six touchdowns.

Rd: 1 Pk: 6Dallas could use more defensive line talent.
In 2024, Capehart has 15 tackles and two passes batted. Clemson had a rotation of defensive linemen in 2023, but Capehart played well enough to impress the NFL advance scouts. In 2023, Capehart totaled 15 tackles, five tackles for a loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and one pass broken up. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder has a good skill set with upside.

Rd: 1 Pk: 11The Dolphins grab a replacement for Odell Beckham Jr..
Harris (6-3, 210) has been one of the most productive receivers in the nation in 2024 despite missing some time with an injury. Thus far, he has 59 catches for 987 yards and six touchdowns. Harris is a big wide out that is dangerous on contested catches. Harris had a productive season in 2023 (54-985-8) in his debut with Ole Miss. The previous three seasons Harris played at Louisiana Tech.

Rd: 1 Pk: 10The Bengals could use a true three-down starter to replace Joe Mixon.
In 2024, Hampton averaged 5.5 yards per carry for 1,178 yards and 13 touchdowns with 26 receptions for 265 yards and a touchdown. The big back Hampton ran well for North Carolina in 2023, averaging 5.9 yards per carry for 1,504 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also caught 29 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot, 220-pound Hampton is built well for the NFL, and he is a physical load that breaks a lot of tackles while ripping off a lot of yards after contact.

Rd: 1 Pk: 13The Bucs could add more young talent at cornerback.
Delane is an instinctive football with a quality skill set for the next level. Thus far in 2024, he has three interceptions with six passes defended and 46 tackles. In 2023 he had one interception, one pass batted, and 54 tackles. He had eight breakups with an interception in 2022 as a freshman. The 6-foot-1, 188-pounder has good size to him with upside to continue to get better as he gains experience.

Rd: 1 Pk: 14The Colts could consider adding an upgrade at right guard.
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Jackson has been a tough blocker for the Buckeyes over the past few seasons. He is reliable to open holes in the ground game and does a steady job of protecting his quarterback. Jackson shows good enough feet and athleticism to handle speed rushers with the strength in his base to anchor against bull rushes. Jackson looks like a safe pick to turn into a solid pro starter.

Rd: 1 Pk: 12The Panthers could use a tackle to go with Derrick Brown.
In 2024, Sanders has three sacks and 34 tackles. Sanders broke out in 2023 with 43 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and four passes batted. The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder has excellent size with upside to develop. Team sources said Sanders jumped out to them as a player to watch for the 2024 season.

Rd: 1 Pk: 9After this season, Keenan Allen is a free agent, and the Bears could target a long-term, speedy slot receiver to go with D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze.
Burks (5-9 190) has playmaking ability and could explode with the Sooners in 2024. Thus far, he has 31 receptions for 245 yards and three touchdowns. In 2023, Burks caught 47 passes for 629 yards and seven touchdowns with Purdue. Burks is a fast and dynamic receiver. Team sources feel that Burks is fast, tough, blocks hard, and has upside.

Rd: 1 Pk: 17 | Rd: 2 Pk: 8Seattle needs more young talent at linebacker.
Stutsman (6-4, 241) is a tough linebacker for the Sooners, making a lot of tackles and some splash plays for his defense. Thus far in 2024, Stutsman has 96 tackles with one sack. In 2023, he totaled 104 tackles, three sacks, an interception, two forced fumbles, and three passes defended. In 2022, he recorded 124 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions, and five passes broken up. Team sources said Stutsman is athletic, quick, and instinctive. They said he has good size and length but lacks ideal strength and physicality. He also has some limitations in coverage. They called Stutsman a less strong, more finesse version of Pete Werner.

Rd: 1 Pk: 15The 49ers could use more cornerback youth.
In 2024, Davis has 33 tackles with five passes broken up thus far. Davis (6-4, 195) is a tall, long cornerback who flashed ability for Arizona in 2023. He totaled 25 tackles with an interception and 15 passes broken up in a breakout 2023 season. Davis could stand to turn some of those broken-up passes into interceptions in 2024. To address the question with all big cornerbacks, Davis must show that he can run with speed receivers.

Rd: 1 Pk: 18Denver could consider adding more tight end talent.
Warren is a big-bodied tight end who has shown some receiving ability in the past two seasons. In 2024, he has 59 catches for 681 yards and four touchdowns.

Rd: 1 Pk: 19Atlanta could use more cornerback talent to go with A.J. Terrell.
In 2024, Strong has 22 tackles with four passes broken up and one forced fumble. Strong played well for the Hokies in 2023, reestablishing their tradition of NFL cornerback talent. He recorded 25 tackles with three interceptions and eight passes broken up. Strong (6-0, 185) has quality size and has the potential to rise.

Rd: 1 Pk: 21The Cardinals could consider adding more young cornerback talent.
In 2024, Revel had two interceptions, two passes broken up, and eight tackles. He played in three games before suffering a torn ACL in practice to end his season.

Rd: 1 Pk: 22The Texans grab some linebacker youth.
In 2024, Carter has 43 tackles, four passes broken up, and three sacks. Carter recorded 62 tackles, five passes batted, and 3.5 sacks in 2023. He had a strong 2022 season with 73 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and eight passes broken up. Team sources said Carter (5-11, 233) is fast and athletic but small and can get destroyed in the inside run. He struggles to get off blocks and is a run-chase linebacker. Carter fits as a coverage linebacker in the sub package, but he could have issues holding up in the base set in the NFL.

Rd: 1 Pk: 20Green Bay could use more defensive line depth after trading Preston Smith.
In 2024, Umanmielen has 9.5 sacks with 24 tackles and a forced fumble. Umanmielen was a monster against Georgia. Umanmielen played well for Florida in 2023, recording seven sacks and 39 tackles. He transferred to Ole Miss after the season. In 2022, he totaled 39 tackles, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. Umanmielen totaled 3.5 sacks over the 2021 and 2020 seasons. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder has quality size with some speed and athleticism off the edge. He has shown improvement and growth as he has gained experience. Umanmielen still possesses upside to develop, so he could make another jump in 2024.

In 2024 Barton has 59 tackles with four passes broken up. Barton (6-3, 233) was on his way to an impressive 2023 season before a right foot injury ended his season after seven games. In those seven contests, he totaled 34 tackles with two interceptions, one forced fumble, and two passes broken up. In 2022, he had 46 tackles with 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass broken up. The NFL advance scouts gave Barton a high projection on their preseason watch list.

Rd: 1 Pk: 23Baltimore could use more young offensive line talent.
The 6-foot-6, 325-pound Ersery has been a dependable blind side protector for Minnesota over 2023 and 2022. Ersery has good size and is a physical blocker at the point of attack. Ersery has power and explosion off the ball. In the NFL, he could get consideration at left or right tackle.

In 2024, Everette has 35 tackles with two forced fumbles, one interception, and one pass broken up thus far. Everette has a good skill set and a ton of upside to develop as he gains experience.

Rd: 1 Pk: 25The Bills could use more young cornerback talent.
In 2024, Walley has 35 tackles, two interceptions, and nine passes broken up. Team sources say Walley impressed them during the 2023 season and was a steady defender for Minnesota. In 2023, he had 45 tackles, eight passes broken up, a forced fumble, and an interception. The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder might be a better fit as a slot corner as a pro, but he is a smooth nickel corner who can run the route and prevent separation. Walley could end up being a second-day prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Rd: 1 Pk: 30 | Rd: 2 Pk: 30The Steelers add more wide receiver talent.
In 2024, Stewart has 37 receptions for 517 yards and five touchdowns. Stewart (6-0, 175) did not have a prolific season in two years with Texas A&M, but he flashed the ability to make plays.

In 2024, Loveland has 53 catches for 560 yards and four touchdowns. He had a fumble and drop in the loss Texas. Michigan had more experienced tight ends, but Loveland was so good that he forced his way onto the field. In 2023, he caught 45 passes for 649 yards and four touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 245-pounder would be capable of producing more if he played in a passing offense. Loveland has the potential to be a riser.

Rd: 1 Pk: 29The Bills could use some depth and competition at edge rusher.
In 2024, Stewart has 6.5 sacks with 29 tackles and two forced fumbles. Stewart (6-1, 245) has been a dangerous pass rusher for Michigan throughout his collegiate career. In 2021, he had a breakout season with 12.5 sacks, 43 tackles, and three forced fumbles. In 2022, he had 37 tackles with 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble. As a junior in 2023, Stewart had 38 tackles with 5.5 sacks. Stewart would fit best as a 3-4 outside linebacker edge rusher in the NFL. Stewart does not have the size to be a base end in a 4-3 defense. In a 4-3 scheme, he would have to be a Sam linebacker that rushes off the edge in the sub package.

In 2023, Henderson averaged 5.9 yards per carry for 926 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had 19 receptions for 229 yards as well.
