Derrick Henry will turn 32 just prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, so Baltimore will have to find a potential successor.

Quintrevion Wisner has shown great receiving ability thus far.

Jalen Ramsey has been traded, so here’s a replacement.

Amari Jackson has plenty of potential with his cover cornerback ability.

The Saints had one of the weaker pass rushes in the NFL last year, so that will need to be fixed.

Harold Perkins is a beast who broke on to the scene with 7.5 sacks as a freshman. He’s an explosive player with tremendous instincts.

Pick change; previously Reuben Bain, DE

The Titans need help all over their defense, including cornerback.

Will Lee has great length and size.

Jerry Jeudy likely won’t be on the roster much longer, so here’s a potential No. 1 receiver.

Deion Burks is small, but has terrific play-making ability.

Pick change; previously Noah Thomas, WR

Geno Smith is old, so the 49ers need a quarterback for the future.

Garrett Nussmeier has great arm talent and has made the most out of his opportunity replacing Jayden Daniels.

The Giants don’t have much at receiver outside of Malik Nabers, so they’ll have to find another weapon for their new quarterback.

Chris Bell is a big and tough receiver with good speed.

Pick change; previously Deion Burks, WR

If Kyler Murray has another injury-plagued season, the Cardinals may decide to look in a different direction.

Drew Allar has a huge arm and a large frame, and he knows how to apply touch and throwing angles.

The Bengals need to obtain multiple upgrades to their poor defensive interior.

DeMonte Capehart is a massive defensive tackle with upside.

The Cowboys are rather weak over the middle of the field.

Tony Rojas excels in pass coverage.

The Texans have no running game. Joe Mixon is old, while Nick Chubb is done. Woody Marks is electric, but I don’t think he can handle a full workload.

Nicholas Singleton is a dynamic back who can go the distance whenever he touches the ball.

There’s a chance Travis Kelce will be retired by the time this pick is being made, so here’s a potential replacement.

Kenyon Sadiq has upside as an athletic tight end.

Two tackles in two rounds makes sense for the Texans, given their problems at the position.

Austin Barber was inconsistent to start his collegiate career, but the upside is apparent.

Carolina’s defense is awful and desperately needs help everywhere.

Javon Kilgore is tall and thickly built. He picked off five passes this past season.

Pick change; previously D.J. McKinney, CB

Jake Matthews is an older player, while Kaleb McGary is entering his contract year.

Elijah Pritchett is an athletic tackle with major upside.

Here’s a potential replacement for Harrison Smith, and an interesting chess piece for Brian Flores’ defense.

Kamari Ramsey has excellent coverage skills.

Pick change; previously Kendal Daniels, S/LB

More edge-rushing help is never a bad idea when trying to take down Jared Goff.

Dani Dennis-Sutton has a lot of untapped potential.

Pick change; previously Harold Perkins, DE

Evan Engram was signed, but he’s just a temporary solution at tight end.

John Michael Gyllenborg has a nice blend of size and speed.

The Jaguars need all the help they can get in their shaky defense.

Kendal Daniels might be considered a linebacker-safety tweener.

Pick change; previously Keon Sabb, S

The Rams have a strong, young defense, but they’ve had issues at linebacker.

Anthony Hill Jr. covered the field very well to begin his collegiate career.

Pick change; previously Deonte Lawson, LB

Aaron Glenn is gone, so the Lions need as much secondary talent to make up for the departure.

Rod Moore is a versatile safety with nice ball skills.

The Seahawks need to continue to bolster their offensive line, which remains a huge weakness.

Ipani Laloulu can play both center and guard in the NFL.

Buffalo’s defense gets hit hard when Matt Milano is sidelined, so here’s another linebacker.

Deonte Lawson is stout in run support and can make some plays in pass coverage.

Pick change; previously Lander Barton, LB

The Chargers are rather weak at linebacker. They need to get better against outside runs.

Lander Barton was a favorite of advance scouts, though he missed a chunk of the ’23 season because of a foot injury.

Pick change; previously Anthony Hill Jr., LB

The 49ers have issues at cornerback that must be addressed in the near future.

D.J. McKinney has nice size and quality ball skills.

Pick change; previously Daylen Everette, CB

The Eagles are never opposed to adding defensive line talent early in the draft.

Matayo Uiagalelei has great size, strength, and athleticism. He’s been very productive at Oregon.

Receiver continues to be a big problem for the Patriots, whose top player at the position is an older veteran coming off a torn ACL.

Noah Thomas is a 6-foot-5 receiver with mismatch ability.

Pick change; previously Carnell Tate, WR

The Packers could stand to add another interior blocker to help them against some of the great defensive lines.

Ola Ioane is an explosive guard with a nasty streak.

When in a division with Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and well, that’s it, you can never have enough talented pass rushers.

Damion Wilson has great speed off the edge.

Pick change; previously Dani Dennis-Sutton, DE

Lavonte David is nearing retirement, so a new linebacker is needed.

Jaishawn Barham was productive, but has some pass coverage issues.

The Colts have needed better cornerback play for a while, so perhaps they’ll finally address the position.

Jaylon Guilbeau displayed terrific coverage ability.
