NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson Image for Clem

The Jets have nothing at receiver outside of Garrett Wilson.

Antonio Williams has excellent play-making ability and quality route-running skills.

NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: Quintrevion Wisner, RB, Texas Image for Tex

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.

NFL Team Logo for Dolphins Miami Dolphins: Amari Jackson, CB, Boston College Image for BC

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

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

NFL Team Logo for Saints New Orleans Saints: Harold Perkins, OLB, LSU Image for LSU

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

NFL Team Logo for Titans Tennessee Titans: Will Lee III, CB, Texas A&M Image for Texas A&M

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

Will Lee has great length and size.

NFL Team Logo for Browns Cleveland Browns: Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma Image for OU

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

NFL Team Logo for Raiders Las Vegas Raiders: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU Image for LSU

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.

NFL Team Logo for Giants New York Giants: Chris Bell, WR, Louisville Image for LOU

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

NFL Team Logo for Cardinals Arizona Cardinals: Drew Allar, QB, Penn State Image for PSU

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.

NFL Team Logo for Bengals Cincinnati Bengals: DeMonte Capehart, DT, Clemson Image for Clem

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

DeMonte Capehart is a massive defensive tackle with upside.

NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Tony Rojas, LB, Penn State Image for PSU

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

Tony Rojas excels in pass coverage.

NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State Image for PSU

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.

NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Image for ORE

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.

NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Austin Barber, OT, Florida Image for FLA

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.

NFL Team Logo for Panthers Carolina Panthers: Javon Kilgore, CB/S, South Carolina Image for

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

NFL Team Logo for Falcons Atlanta Falcons: Elijah Pritchett, OT, Nebraska Image for NU

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

Elijah Pritchett is an athletic tackle with major upside.

NFL Team Logo for Vikings Minnesota Vikings: Kamari Ramsey, S, USC Image for USC

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

NFL Team Logo for Bears Chicago Bears: Dani Dennis-Sutton, DE, Penn State Image for PSU

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

NFL Team Logo for Broncos Denver Broncos: John Michael Gyllenborg, TE, Minnesota Image for MINN

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.

NFL Team Logo for Jaguars Jacksonville Jaguars: Kendal Daniels, S, Oklahoma State Image for OSU

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

NFL Team Logo for Rams Los Angeles Rams: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas Image for Tex

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

NFL Team Logo for Lions Detroit Lions: Rod Moore, S, Michigan Image for MICH

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.

NFL Team Logo for Seahawks Seattle Seahawks: Ipani Laloulu, C/G, Oregon Image for Oregon

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.

NFL Team Logo for Bills Buffalo Bills: Deonte Lawson, LB, Alabama Image for ALA

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

NFL Team Logo for Chargers Los Angeles Chargers: Lander Barton, LB, Utah Image for

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

NFL Team Logo for 49ers San Francisco 49ers: D.J. McKinney, CB, Colorado Image for CU

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

NFL Team Logo for Eagles Philadelphia Eagles: Matayo Uiagalelei, DE, Oregon Image for ORE

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.

NFL Team Logo for Patriots New England Patriots: Noah Thomas, WR, Georgia Image for UGA

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

NFL Team Logo for Packers Green Bay Packers: Ola Ioane, G, Penn State Image for PSU

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.

NFL Team Logo for Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: Damion Wilson, DE, Missouri Image for Missouri

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

NFL Team Logo for Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jaishawn Barham, LB, Michigan Image for MICH

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

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

NFL Team Logo for Colts Indianapolis Colts: Jaylon Guilbeau, CB, Texas Image for Tex

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

Jaylon Guilbeau displayed terrific coverage ability.
