Cleveland Browns: DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson |
|
The Browns could use more tackle talent next to Michael Hall.
In 2024, Capehart had 21 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.

New York Giants: Daylen Everette, CB, Georgia |
|
The Giants need more cornerback talent.
In 2024, Everette had 58 tackles with two forced fumbles, three interceptions, one sack, and three passes broken up thus far. Everette has a good skill set and a ton of upside to develop as he gains experience. In 2023, the sophomore corner played well for the Bulldogs, registering 29 tackles and five passes broken up. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder could take over as Georgia’s No. 1 corner in 2024.

Tennessee Titans: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota |
|
The Titans need helpt at right tackle.
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.

Jacksonville Jaguars: T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina |
|
The Jaguars could use more interior defensive line talent. Here’s an interior rusher to go wih Maason Smith.
In 2024, Sanders had four sacks and 51 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.

Las Vegas Raiders: Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss |
|
The Raiders need more cornerback talent.
Amos flashed on tape for Alabama in 2023, and he has picked up where he left off after transferring to Ole Miss. In 2024, Amos had 50 tackles with three interceptions and 13 passes broken up. Amos (6-1, 190) has good size, speed, and athleticism. He could be a riser for the 2025 NFL Draft next April.

New England Patriots: Princely Umanmielen, DE, Ole Miss |
|
The Patriots could use more edge-rush youth.
In 2024, Umanmielen has 10.5 sacks with 34 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.

Chicago Bears: Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky |
|
The Bears add more interior defensive line talent.
In 2024, Walker had 37 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two passes defended. 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.

New Orleans Saints: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss |
|
The Saints could use more wide receiver talent.
Harris (6-3, 210) has been one of the most productive receivers in the nation in 2024 despite missing some time with an injury. In 2024, he had 60 catches for 1,030 yards and seven 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.

Chicago Bears: Jack Sawyer, DE, Ohio State |
|
The Bears could use an edge rusher across from Montez Sweat.
Sawyer has 53 tackles, one forced fumble, eight sacks, one interception, and five passes batted. Sawyer dominated Tennessee and was excellent against Oregon in the first two college football playoff games. In 2023, Sawyer had 48 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two passes batted. At one time, Sawyer (6-4, 260) looked like a mid-round pick but a strong finish to the 2024 season could lead to him rising during the process.

New York Jets: Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas |
|
The Jets add some quarterback competition.
In 2024, Ewers completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,189 yards with 29 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. In 2023, Ewers completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Ewers flashed potential for Texas in 2022. Ewers completed 58 percent of his passes that season for 2,177 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions. There is no doubt that Ewers can make all the throws with pocket-passing ability. He has a live arm, reads the field well, and has serious passing talent with the ability to throw accurately downfield. Team sources said Ewers has good makeup, football I.Q., and should interview well. However, they worry about Ewers getting rattled by good opponents.

San Francisco 49ers: Justin Walley, CB, Minnesota |
|
The 49ers could use more cornerback talent.
In 2024, Walley had 42 tackles, two interceptions, and 10 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.

Dallas Cowboys: Nic Scourton, DE, Texas A&M |
|
Dallas could use more defensive line talent.
In 2024, Scourton had 37 tackles with five sacks and one forced fumble. While playing at Purdue in 2023, Scourton broke out with 50 tackles, 10 sacks, one forced fumble and three passes defended. The 6-foot-4, 280-pounder showed impressive quickness and athleticism for a big-bodied defensive lineman. After the season, Scourton transferred to Texas A&M.

Indianapolis Colts: Mansoor Delane, CB, Virginia Tech |
|
The Colts could consider adding some cornerback talent.
Delane is an instinctive football with a quality skill set for the next level. In 2024, he had four interceptions with seven passes defended, two forced fumbles, and 54 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.

Atlanta Falcons: Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona |
|
Atlanta could use more cornerback talent to go with A.J. Terrell.
In 2024, Davis had 43 tackles with six passes broken up. 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.

Arizona Cardinals: Landon Jackson, DE, Arkansas |
|
The Cardinals could consider adding multiple defensive linemen to help build up their defense.
In 2024, Jackson had 49 tackles, 6.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and three passes broken up thus far. The 6-foot-7, 280-pound Jackson is strong at the point of attack and has good length to keep blockers from getting into his chest. In 2023, Jackson recorded 44 tackles, 6.5 sacks and a pass broken up. He has upside and could be a nice prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Miami Dolphins: Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland |
|
The Dolphins grab a replacement for Odell Beckham Jr..
In 2024, Prather had 56 receptions for 624 yards and four touchdowns. During the 2023 season, some team sources said Prather (6-4, 212) was similar to Adonai Mitchell. 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.

Cincinnati Bengals: Mike Green, DE, Marshall |
|
Even if Trey Hendrickson gets extended, they could use more rush talent to go with him.
Green has been a monster for the Thundering Herd this season, with a ton of big plays for the Marshall defense. In 2024, Green had 17 sacks with three forced fumbles, 81 tackles, and two passes batted. The 6-foot-4, 248-pounder is very fast and explosive off the edge. In 2023, Green had 43 tackles with 4.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

Seattle Seahawks: Lander Barton, LB, Utah |
|
The Seahawks need some young talent at linebacker.
In 2024, Barton had 72 tackles with four passes broken up, two sacks, and two interceptions. 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.

Denver Broncos: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan |
|
Denver could consider adding more tight end talent.
In 2024, Loveland had 56 catches for 582 yards and five 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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bradyn Swinson, DE, LSU |
|
The Bucs could use multiple young edger rushers to help their defense.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Swinson is a tough defender at the point of attack. He is strong to shed blocks and has the speed to run around the corner. In 2024, Swinson had 59 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. Swinson has the upside to develop into a starter who could be a sleeper value pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State |
|
Najee Harris could leave this offseason and Pittsburgh could find a younger, more talented back in the draft.
In 2024, Judkins has averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 924 yards with eight touchdowns. He has 17 catches for 118 yards and a touchdown. At Ole Miss, Judkins was a tough runner who has been productive the past two seasons. In 2023, he averaged 4.3 yards per carry for 1,158 yards with 16 touchdowns. The previous season, he averaged 5.7 yards per carry for 1,567 yards with 16 touchdowns. The 6-foot, 220-pounder transferred to Ohio State for the 2024 season. Judskins is big, fast, explosive, and has good instincts as a runner.

Carolina Panthers: Anthony Belton, OT, N.C. State |
|
The Panthers need more offensive line talent to protect Bryce Young.
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.

Houston Texans: Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma |
|
The Texans grab some linebacker youth.
Stutsman (6-4, 241) is a tough linebacker for the Sooners, making a lot of tackles and some splash plays for his defense. In 2024, Stutsman had 110 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.

Green Bay Packers: Josaiah Stewart, OLB, Michigan |
|
After moving on from Preston Smith, Green Bay could consider adding more pass rush talent.
In 2024, Stewart has 8.5 sacks with 33 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.

Los Angeles Chargers: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina |
|
The Chargers could use a young running back for their ground-based offense.
In 2024, Hampton averaged 5.9 yards per carry for 1,660 yards and 15 touchdowns with 38 receptions for 373 yards and two touchdowns. 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.

Baltimore Ravens: Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State |
|
Baltimore could use more young offensive line talent.
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.

Washington Commanders: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson |
|
Washington could use some linebacker youth behind Bobby Wagner.
In 2024, Carter had 82 tackles, seven passes broken up, and 3.5 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.

Buffalo Bills: Fadil Diggs, DE, Syracuse |
|
The Bills could use more young wide receiver talent.

Buffalo Bills: Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU |
|
The Bills could add more youth and depth on the offensive line.
Jones (6-6, 322) earned a starting job during his freshman season and has turned in a pair of impressive years to start his collegiate career. In 2023, Jones formed an excellent tackle tandem with Will Campbell to help their quarterback Jayden Daniels produce a massive season that earned Daniels the Heisman Trophy. Jones has a strong build with impressive athleticism for a thick-bodied tackle, and his basketball background is evident in his footwork. Team sources say that Jones is a good run blocker, and flashes ability in pass protection, but has problems with technique that make him inconsistent. Some sources feel the pass blocking problems could make Jones a better fit at guard in the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State |
|

The previous season he had 34 receptions for 422 yards and seven touchdowns. The 6-foot-6, 257-pounder has the size to be Y (blocking) tight end as well as contribute as a receiver.

Kansas City Chiefs: Ty Hamilton, DT, Ohio State |
|
Kansas City could use more tackle talent to go with Chris Jones.
In 2024, Hamilton has 44 tackles with three 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.

Detroit Lions: Savion Williams, WR, TCU |
|
The Lions could use a third receiver to go with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.
Williams had 60 receptions for 611 yards and six touchdowns in 2024. 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).
