The Lions need some more pass-rushing talent to complement Aidan Hutchinson.

Bryce Young has a massive frame and could emerge as a five-technique.

The Texans have a great defense, but they could stand to bolster their linebacker group.

Sammy Brown is a versatile and instinctive linebacker.

It doesn’t sound like Kyle Pitts will be on Atlanta’s roster much longer.

Max Klare is a dynamic receiver as a tight end.

The Steelers passed on all the quarterbacks until the final rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. Perhaps they’ll treat this quarterback class differently.

Eli Holstein is a big quarterback with plenty of arm talent.

Joey Bosa is gone, and Khalil Mack won’t be too far behind him. The Chargers will need new pass rushers.

L.J. McCray has a big frame, a strong skill set, and loads of upside.

The Rams could stand to get better in the middle of the field, both at linebacker and safety.

Koi Perich is a ballhawk with strong instincts.

I don’t trust George Pickens not to cause locker room issues, so the Cowboys may need another receiver at this juncture.

Ryan Wingo has plenty of upside as a big receiver.

The Broncos can’t have enough pass-rushing talent, given that they have to battle Patrick Mahomes twice per year.

Collin Simmons has flashed explosive pass-rushing ability.

Brian O’Neill will be a 31-year-old free agent during the 2027 NFL offseason.

Wilkin Formby is a massive tackle with loads of upside.

The 49ers could stand to get better at cornerback.

Daniel Harris is a huge cornerback with plenty of upside.

Dion Dawkins will be a 33-year-old entering his contract season when the 2027 NFL Draft arrives.

Monroe Freeling is a lengthy tackle with plenty of potential.

Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will be 32 and 31, respectively, when the 2027 NFL offseason begins. Washington will need some young blood at receiver.

Zachariah Branch is a small receiver, but can produce explosive plays.

The odds of Rashee Rice staying clean off the field in the next two years is certainly not zero.

Isaiah Horton is a massive receiver who is raw but has plenty of upside.

Like Dion Dawkins, Ronnie Stanley will be a 33-year-old entering his contract season when the 2027 NFL Draft arrives.

Austin Siereveld is a strong right tackle prospect.

I’m not sure how much longer the Eagles will tolerate A.J. Brown’s behavior, but there’s a chance he won’t be on the roster until 2027.

Evan Stewart tore his patellar tendon, so he has a long recovery ahead of him.
