Updated 4/21/25

Statistical commentary is good through Week 17 of the regular season.

 

1) Titans - Cameron Ward | 6'2 | 223 | QB | Miami

The Titans ranked 28th in passing yards and 24th in 20+ yard passing plays. After watching Levis throw 3 INTs across twelve attempts in their Week 15 loss to the Bengals, the door has been shut on him, for now. 

2) Browns - Travis Hunter | 6'1 | 185 | CB/WR | Colorado

The Browns' passing attack yielded more INTs than TDs in 2024, so eyes could be drawn to a prolific playmaker to help boost production.

3) Giants - Abdul Carter | 6'3 | 250 | EDGE | Penn State

Carter might be the nation's best player, too good to pass up.

4) Patriots - Will Campbell | 6'6 | 320 | OT/OG | LSU

No team had fewer passing yards or 20+ yard passing plays than the Pats did. And, only two teams scored fewer points than them. The Pats must improve their O-line to move the ball. After signing Morgan Moses to play RT, Campbell looks like the safe play here to play LT.

5) Jaguars - Ashton Jeanty | 5'9 | 215 | RB | Boise State

Liam Coen was brought in to create a buzz on offense. Jeanty is electric.

6) Raiders - Armand Membou | 6'3 | 314 | OG/RT | Missouri 

The Raiders ranked 26th in sacks allowed, and dead last in rushing. They need O-line help in a big way. 

7) Jets - Mason Graham | 6'3 | 318 | DT | Michigan

The Jets are in a very good spot here. The board has fallen such that they can grab Graham to pair with Williams up front.

8) Panthers - Jalon Walker | 6'2 | 245 | EDGE/LB | Georgia

The Panthers were active in FA, adding depth to their front seven in the form of Bobby Brown, Tershawn Wharton and Patrick Jones.  They add another gifted player here in Stewart, a guy who'll be insurance with the 2026 impending losses of Clowney and/or Wonnum.

9) Saints - Mykel Williams | 6'5 | 260 | EDGE | Georgia 

The Saints had one of the NFL's worst passing defenses. Watching them get destroyed in Week 16 against the Packers evidenced the need for more defensive talent. Williams is a riser.

10) Bears - Tyler Warren | 6'6 | 257 | TE | Penn State

The Bears were aggressive in acquiring Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney, and Drew Dallman, shoring up their O-line. They are very thin at TE, however, evidenced by their 1-year signing of Durham Smythe. Warren provides a great release valve for their young QB.

11) 49ers - Kelvin Banks Jr. | 6'4 | 324 | LT/OG | Texas

The 49ers currently have a big hole at their LG spot, after losing Aaron Banks to the Packers. The 1-year retention deal to Ben Bartch was merely an insurance play.

12) Cowboys - Tetairoa McMillan | 6'4 | 210 | WR | Arizona

The Cowboys run offense was lacking, even with the services of Zach Martin.  So, they could go O-line here. However, they now have holes at the WR EDGE and LB spots as well. I think this comes down to them adding the BPA on their board. who happens to be McMillan.

13) Dolphins - Jahdae Barron | 5'11 | 192 | SAF/CB | Texas

The Dolphins need help within their secondary, D-line, and O-line, so this pick is about grabbing the best talent available to help fill a void. With safety and CB versatility, Barron is a great option. 

14) Colts - Colston Loveland | 6'5 | 245 | TE | Michigan

The Colts have been rumored to wanting a TE for quite  while now. Loveland is deserving. 

15) Falcons - Mike Green | 6'4 | 240 | DE | Marshall

The Falcons are another team in dire need pass rushing help. Green generated a huge buzz at the Senior Bowl, potentially worked himself into the top-15. His gaudy stat line also helps his cause.

16) Cardinals - Shemar Stewart | 6'6 | 280 | DE | Texas A&M

Opinions vary on Stewart due to his lack of production, but he tested well enough to go here. 

17) Bengals - Walter Nolen | 6'4 | 290 | DT | Ole Miss

It was their defense that kept the Bengals out of the playoffs. Nolen's a tough assignment for any blocker when he plays to his full capabilities.

18) Seahawks - Will Johnson | 6'2 | 202 | WR | Michigan

The Seahawks really need to address their O-line, but Johnson carries too much value here.

19) BuccaneersMalachi Starks | 6'1 | 205 | SAF | Georgia

The Bucs need to add more integrity to their secondary. While Starks was a shell of himself this past year, he boasts a great resume overall. If there's one player who could rebound his play, it's this guy.

20) Broncos -  Omarion Hampton | 6'0 | 220 | RB | North Carolina 

The Broncos would be even dedlier with a franchise RB.

21) Steelers - Shedeur Sanders | 6'2 | 215 | QB | Colorado

Steelers stay and get Tomlin's guy.

22) Chargers - Derrick Harmon | 6'5 | 315 | DT | Oregon

The Chargers could use another quality DT. Harmon creates pressure up front in droves.

23) Packers - Jihaad Campbell | 6'3 | 235 | LB | Alabama

Campbell is too good to fall any farther...

24) Vikings - Josh Simmons | 6'5 | 310 | LT/OG | Ohio State

After seeing their QB get sacked a whopping 9 times in their playoff loss to the Rams, I could certainly see the Vikings wanting to add a quality O-lineman to their fold. Simmons is the pick.

25) Texans - Grey Zabel | 6'6 | 305 | OG/LT | North Dakota State

Zabel made himself money at the Senior Bowl. He looks like a prospect who could ply almost anywhere up front. 

26) Rams - Jaxson Dart | 6'2 | 220 | QB | Ole Miss  

The Rams may have bigger needs, but Dart is too much value here.

27) Ravens - Nick Emmanwori | 6'3 | 222 | SAF | South Carolina

The Ravens are excellent overall, so this could be seen as a luxury pick for them. Marcus Williams is an UFA next year. Emmanwori could be his successor if he falls here.

28) Lions - Kenneth Grant | 6'5 | 339 | DT | Michigan 

The Lions need to add another play maker to their front seven. Hutchinson is great, but he needs complements. Grant is a formidable load up front.

29) Commanders - Matthew Golden | 6'0 | 195 | WR | Texas

The Commanders don't have a lot of needs, but that aside, Golden's speed is alluring.

30) Bills - Luther Burden | 5'11 | 208 | WR | Missouri 

The Bills will look to replace Amari Cooper, Mack Hollins as well. Burden's stock has dropped after a down year, but he's too good to be available here. A fast combine will move him up.

31) Chiefs - Josh Conerly Jr. | 6'4 | 315 | LT/OG | Oregon

The Chiefs have to address the LT position. Conerly is an excellent value here.

32) Eagles - Tyler Booker | 6'5 | 335 | OG | Alabama

Whether its deserved or not, it feels like Booker is free-falling in this draft. Nonetheless, the Eales are getting a 10-year starter...
