New York Giants: Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona |
|
The Giants need help on the line. They could draft a tackle and move Evan Neal inside to guard.
Savaiinaea broke into the starting lineup at right tackle in 2022 and immediately was a solid contributor for the Wildcats. As a sophomore in 2023, Savaiinaea was even better teaming with Jordan Morgan to give Arizona an effective tackle tandem. Savaiinaea is not as good of an athlete as Morgan, but Savaiinaea is stronger, nastier, and looks to finish off defenders. Some area scouts are grading Savaiinaea on day two and think he should move inside to guard in the NFL. Other sources think he could be a late one and a good starting guard in the NFL. Thus, Savaiinaea is a bit of a love/hate prospect.

Kansas City Chiefs: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami |
|
Kansas City takes their replacement for Travis Kelce.
In 2024, Arroyo had 35 receptions for 590 yards and seven touchdowns showing the talent that he flashed early in his college career. Arroyo had an ACL tear on September 22, 2022, and suffered a setback in the 2023 preseason. He didn’t play until late November and had one catch for 11 yards. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder is a fluid athlete with dangerous route-running and natural receiving ability.

|
The Browns grab a replacement for Za’Darius Smith.
Baron was an active defender for Miami in 2024. He had 38 tackles with 5.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Last year, he had six sacks with 28 tackles. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Baron has a good skill set with upside to develop.

Las Vegas Raiders: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa |
|
The Raiders need a true replacement for Josh Jacobs.
Johnson (6-1, 225) was one of the best running backs in college football in 2024. and was a devastating runner in the Big 10. The 6-foot, 225-pounder has a very good skill set with size, speed, power, and natural running instincts. In 2024, he averaged 6.4 yards per carry for 1,537 yards with 21 touchdowns. He has 22 catches for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Team sources say Johnson is a first- or second-round talent, but maturity issues will push him into day two.

New England Patriots: Bradyn Swinson, DE, LSU |
|
The Patriots could use more edge-rush youth.
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.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Marcus Mbow, G, Purdue |
|
The Jaguars could use more interior offensive line competition.
Mbow (6-4, 310) is a nice interior athlete that has some quickness and athleticism. Mbow could stand to get stronger and clean up some technique for the NFL, but he has the skill set to be a solid starting guard as a pro.

New Orleans Saints: Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson |
|
The Saints could use a young linebacker to pair with Pete Warner.
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.

Chicago Bears: Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon |
|
The Bears have Keenan Allen entering free agency. Johnson could be a rotational slot receiver and Kaliff Raymond-type weapon for Ben Johnson.
Johnson (5-10, 165) is an undersized receiver but has shown the ability to produce some big plays over the past three seasons. In 2024, Johnson had 83 catches for 898 yards with 10 touchdowns. The previous season he had 86 catches for 1,182 yards and 10 touchdowns and an average of 15.4 yards per catch in 2022 (56-863-4). Johnson is a fast, shifty route-runner who could also help on special teams.

Las Vegas Raiders: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss |
|
The Raiders could use more receiver youth to help replace Davante Adams.
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.

Carolina Panthers: Demetrius Knight II, LB, South Carolina |
|
The Panthers could use some linebacker youth.
Knight had 82 tackles with two sacks and one pass broken up in 2024, and he had a strong week of practice at the Senior Bowl. Knight played at Charlotte before moving on to South Carolina. In 2023 he had 96 tackles with 1.5 sacks, three interceptions, and four passes defended. Knight (6-0, 235) has a strong build and some ability to cover.

San Francisco 49ers: Kyle Kennard, DE, South Carolina |
|
The 49ers could use more young edge-rush talent across from Nick Bosa.
Kennard has quality size for the next level and he has enjoyed a breakout season with the Gamecocks. In 2024, Kennard had 11.5 sacks with three forced fumbles and 28 tackles. Kennard had six sacks in 2023 while playing with Georgia Tech. Kennard (6-5, 250) is a sleeper that could be a riser.

Dallas Cowboys: Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland |
|
More talent at the No.2 receiver could help the Cowboys offense.
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.

New England Patriots: Wyatt Milum, OT, West Virginia |
|
The Patriots add some more blocking youth.
Milum (6-5, 320) is a big-bodied tackle who was a solid starter for West Virginia in 2024. Like everyone, Milum struggled with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. Milum started at right and left tackle for the Mountaineers. He is a jack of all trades and master of none as he is not overwhelmingly strong, athletic, or quick.

Arizona Cardinals: Mansoor Delane, CB, Virginia Tech |
|
The Cardinals could use more youth at corner.
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.

Philadelphia Eagles: Lander Barton, LB, Utah |
|
Adding depth and competition at linebacker would make sense for Philadelphia on day two.
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.

Indianapolis Colts: Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville |
|
The Colts need more cornerback talent.
Riley had 33 tackles with two interceptions, nine passes broken up, and a forced fumble. Team sources said Riley played well in 2023 and that they felt he could be a solid backup/rotational cornerback in the NFL. In 2023, he totaled 49 tackles, three interceptions and 10 passes defended. Riley (5-11, 185) previously played at Middle Tennessee. He might fit best as a slot corner in the NFL.

Cincinnati Bengals: Bradyn Swinson, DE, LSU |

Seattle Seahawks: Seth McLaughlin, C, Oklahoma |
|
The Seahawks might consider adding a center upgrade.
McLaughlin was a steady interior presence for the Buckeyes in 2024. He is not a dominator at the point of attack, but a solid player. The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder is a smart and tough technician. He started out his collegiate career at Alabama before transferring to Ohio State.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Bru McCoy, WR, Tennessee |
|
The Steelers could use multiple receiving upgrades.
In 2024 McCoy had 39 catches for 472 yards and two touchdowns. McCoy was behind some more experienced receivers in 2022, but he still managed to flash with 52 receptions for 667 yards and four touchdowns. In 2023, McCoy had 17 catches for 217 yards and a score in only five games played before going down with an ankle injury. McCoy (6-3, 220) is a big receiver with upside.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: KeAndre Lambert-Smith, WR, Auburn |
|
Even if Chris Godwin comes back, the Bucs could use more receiving youth for young developmental talent.
Lambert-Smith had 50 catches for 981 yards and eight touchdowns. Lambert-Smith (6-1, 188) has some quickness and route-running. He might become a quality No. 2 or 3 receiver in the NFL. Lambert-Smith flashed some ability with Penn State in 2023, catching 53 passes for 673 yards and four touchdowns.

Denver Broncos: Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami |

The Broncos could use more weapons for Bo Nix.
Restrepo (5-10, 198) is a shifty slot receiver who produced a lot of clutch plays for the Hurricanes in 2024. He caught 69 passes for 1,127 yards with 11 touchdowns. The previous season he had 85 catches for 1,092 yards with six touchdowns. Restrepo is a dangerous route-runner with quickness. He could be a nice backup and rotational receiver that might develop into a starting slot as a pro.

Los Angeles Chargers: Ty Hamilton, DT, Ohio State |

The Chargers could use more talent at defensive tackle.
In 2024, Hamilton had 51 tackles with 3.5 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.

Green Bay Packers: Josaiah Stewart, OLB, Michigan |
|
The Packers could use some edge rush depth after trading Preston Smith.
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 subpackage.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Cameron Williams, OT, Texas |
|
The Jaguars could use more offensive line depth and competition.
Many scouts thought Williams would return to Texas to compete at left tackle and help his draft grade for the 2026 draft as the replacement for Kelvin Banks, but Williams decided to enter the 2025 draft. The 6-foot-5, 335-pounder played right tackle for the Longhorns. Team sources say Williams is talented but needs a lot of development on technique. Hence they felt he should have gone back to school.

Houston Texans: Justin Walley, CB, Minnesota |
|
The Texans grab some cornerback youth.
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.

Los Angeles Rams: Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona |
|
The Rams could use more cornerback youth.
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.

Baltimore Ravens: Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma |
|
Baltimore takes a linebacker to pair with Roquan Smith.

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.

|
The Saints grab some tight-end competition.
The senior tight end Helm was a dangerous seam weapon for Quinn Ewers. In 2024, Helm has 55 catches for 688 yards and six touchdowns. It has been a huge jump in production from 2023 when he had 14 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns as Ja’Tavion Sanders was the featured tight end. Helm (6-5, 250) has quality size to be a blocker and has flashed some functional receiving ability.

|
The Browns take an understudy to go with Nick Chubb
In 2024, Henderson averaged 7.1 yards per carry for 1,016 yards with 10 touchdowns. He had 27 catches for 284 yards. In 2023, Henderson averaged 5.9 yards per carry for 926 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had 19 receptions for 229 yards as well. Henderson put together an impressive freshman year in 2021 and was too talented to keep on the bench behind more experienced upperclassmen. He averaged 6.8 yards per carry that season for 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns on only 183 carries. Henderson also was an impressive receiving back, snatching 27 passes for 312 yards and four scores. Before getting injured in 2022, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 571 yards and six touchdowns. With his impressive skill set, Henderson has upside to explode in 2024.

Washington could use more young pass rushing options.
Rucker (6-2, 265) had 30 tackles, six sacks, one interception, and one pass batted in six games of play. Rucker had an undisclosed leg injury, which kept him out of September and into October. He has some pass rush ability off the edge, but lacks height and length for the NFL. Rucker was a dangerous edge rusher for North Carolina in 2023, recording 8.5 sacks and 61 tackles. In 2022, he totaled 37 tackles and 3.5 sacks. He recorded four sacks in 2021.

Kansas City Chiefs: Gabe Jacas, DE, Illinois |
|
Kansas City could use more young edge rush talent.
Jacas (6-3, 275) played well for the Fighting Illini in 2024, providing an impact at the point of attack. In the ground game, Jacas has functional strength to hold his ground and get in on runs outside of his gap. Jacas is strong and quick in the pass rush, showing the ability to get after the quarterback as a versatile rusher. He had eight sacks, 74 tackles, and three forced fumbles in 2024.
