Height: 6'3"

Weight: 320 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: Jacksonville will be sent Travis Hunter in the vast majority of mock drafts from here out, so we'll avoid the chalk pick to see how the rest of the class could shake out. The other candidate here who is worth the top selection is Michigan's Mason Graham.

Graham, the most disruptive interior defender in the nation, would immediately headline the league's worst defensive tackle room. 

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 215 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: Shedeur Sanders possesses the intelligence, work ethic, precision, and creativity necessary to become a top-10 NFL quarterback.

It's clear that Sanders is the standout passer in this draft class. The Raiders need to take a mulligan with their head coach search and give Sanders a real chance to succeed with better playmakers.

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 223 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: I'd have a hard time selling myself on taking Cameron Ward this high, but I see the appeal. Despite the tendency to make boneheaded throws, Ward is an elite athlete with a terrific throwing motion.

He's got the guts needed to overcome his bad decisions, too, which is something Brian Daboll may appreciate and can maximize. 

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 185 lbs

Class: Junior

Fit: New England added two possession receivers in Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker last year, and neither have looked ready to be impact players.

Going with a more athletic and versatile talent like Travis Hunter is an easy call. It's possible that Travis Hunter, Kayshon Boutte, and DeMario Douglas are the true focal points for Drake Maye moving forward. Hunter is the best overall player in the class.

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 243 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: Giving Bryce Young some playmaking would be wise, but the Panthers can go chase a receiver in free agency. Carolina's inability to get defensive stops has to be addressed.

James Pearce Jr. is the best option because he has the freakish speed and flexibility to be a Pro Bowl talent early in his career. 

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 225 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: Surprisingly, the Aaron Rodgers situation turned out to be a complete disaster. The New York Jets will be facing the future sooner than expected.

Jalen Milroe would benefit more by leaving Alabama than returning, so making the jump a little early would be smart. Few players can execute like Milroe when he's on his game. Having the right coaching staff is crucial.

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 202 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: There's not a quarterback who makes sense in the first round after our top three names, so Tennessee waits until Day 2 to add competition to Will Levis' job. Passing on the top cornerback in the class for a far inferior quarterback prospect is bad business.

Will Johnson is a Sauce Gardner-level presence who will shut down his side of the field and spark turnover opportunities. 

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 320 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: I'm not a huge fan of taking offensive linemen high because a good staff can organically grow talent, but Cleveland has an emergency situation along its line.

Getting younger, cheaper, and healthier is key. Kelvin Banks is a top-notch pass-blocking prospect and would be an enormous talent and effort upgrade over Jedrick Wills. 

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 208 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: New Orleans loves taking blockers early, but a playmaker makes more sense. Even once Chris Olave returns, the Saints don't have the playmaking to build a sustainably good passing attack.

Luther Burden III fits their mold of versatile speedsters who win on deep targets and are electric off screens and slants. Think of Ja'Marr Chase.

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 259 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: The Bengals continue to lose games where their offense scores 30 or more points. Even after heavily addressing their defense in recent draft classes, more talent is needed.

Abdul Carter has been tremendous this year, and his elite physical traits will translate to the NFL. Carter can be the new face of the Bengals' defense for years to come.

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 215 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: Taking a running back this high is rich, but Ashton Jeanty is a transformative talent. Chicago's running game has been fine with D'Andre Swift, but building a tandem like Detroit's puts the Bears in a position to give Caleb Williams more than enough to develop into a star.

Forget the value and think of the upside of two of the most dynamic talents who have entered the league in recent years.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 205 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: Miami has a top-heavy roster that needs retooling across most positional groups. The class depth along both sides of the line allows Miami to take the top overall talent available, which is Malaki Starks.

The dynamic safety has limitless coverage range and elite physicality. He'd give Miami the chance to re-do the Minkah Fitzpatrick era, which they previously fumbled.  

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 212 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: The best pure first-round fit possible for Dallas is to see Tetairoa McMillan fall. While Burden, Isaiah Bond, and Emeka Egbuka could fit any offense, McMillan complements CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott's play style better.

The 6 foot 5, 210-pounder offers a huge catch radius, terrific quickness and agility for his size, and post-catch creation upside. 

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 339 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: If you watched Michigan bully Ohio State again, then you were witness to Kenneth Grant reminding everyone it's not just the Mason Graham show in Ann Arbor.

Grant has been excellent as the season has progressed, flashing the quickness and strength needed to be an impact presence. San Francisco's demise has largely been tied to less effective trench play, so Grant addresses that.

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 257 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: Shoehorning Tyler Warren into any situation is easy because he's so dynamic and gifted.

Indianapolis continues to be a safe spot because it has a terrible tight end room right now, and there's a talent drop around this part of the first round. Keep giving Anthony Richardson physical freaks to work with.

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 248 lbs.

Class: Rs-Sophomore

Fit: There will be competition questions about Mike Green, but the 6 foot 4, 250-pounder is the most productive pass-rusher in the nation for several translatable reasons.

He's fast, boasts strong, effective hands, and has enough developed moves to justify taking over the moldable pieces of clay that aren't producing. Expect Green to rise throughout the offseason as evaluators catch up on his tape.

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 193 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: Although Shavon Revel Jr. is coming off a torn ACL, his pre-injury tape and athleticism were unreal. As he gets to full strength, he'll re-establish himself as an elite corner prospect.

The Rams have the worst cornerback room in the NFL, so going with the best possible player at a key position of need is a no-brainer. 

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 190 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: Trey Amos is rapidly gaining attention this fall and is in a strong position to be selected in the first round. Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 190 pounds, he has allowed approximately half of the passes thrown his way to be completed, making him a promising playmaker.

With Arizona in need of talent across its defense, Amos’s ball skills make him a compelling choice over other edge rushers still available.

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 285 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: Teams greatly appreciate versatile players, and Nic Scourton is a prime example of that. At 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 285 pounds, he is capable of filling multiple positions and has a significant athletic advantage.

The Falcons have an abhorrent pass rush, so Scourton would be the face of the next iteration of Raheem Morris' defense. It'll take some time to get the most out of him, but Scourton is worth investing time into.

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 210 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: Giving Sean Payton a big, physical, and fast receiver who can dominate on slants and create after the catch is a slam dunk.

Tre Harris isn't so different than former Saints star Michael Thomas. Everyone on the Broncos' offense would benefit from Harris' presence, even Courtland Sutton. The Broncos don't have enough game-breakers to transcend the scheme, but Harris can.

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 310 lbs

Class: Senior

Fit: Before his ACL injury sustained in a game against Oregon, Josh Simmons showcased impressive skills at Ohio State.

His strength and athleticism stand out, and he should be prepared to make an impact as a starter in his rookie year once he fully recovers. The Seahawks could slide him into their gaping right tackle hole.

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 283 lbs

Class: Junior

Fit: Commanders head coach Dan Quinn needs to overhaul the defensive talent available to him in order for the franchise to improve.

LT Overton is a work in progress, but his growth throughout 2024 is promising that he'll blossom in the coming years. His 6 foot 4, 280-pound frame is complemented by tremendous strength and agility to beat blockers.

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 310 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: There are few more valued talents than a dynamic pass-rushing threat at defensive tackle. Derrick Harmon has been the best in the nation at collapsing the pocket from his spot, showing off speed and contact balance that will cause issues in the NFL.

DeMeco Ryans needs more monsters in the trenches, and Harmon has a specific strength in getting after quarterbacks.

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 290 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: Shemar Stewart is an incredibly physical player, and his versatility in rushing the passer from various spots on the field enhances his value. At 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 290 pounds, he is a formidable force who can succeed with both speed and strength.

Baltimore has a strong affinity for players like this, and Stewart could be the next impactful figure in the mold of Calais Campbell.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 205 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: This task is relatively straightforward. Although Jim Harbaugh successfully faced Emeka Egbuka in college, he must have developed a significant appreciation for the talented player from Ohio State.

Egbuka offers precisely what Los Angeles needs at the receiver spot, showcasing both reliability and versatility. With Justin Herbert, he has the potential to become a Pro Bowler.

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 180 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: With Russell Wilson cooking again, the Steelers can look to build their offense a little more tailored to his skill set.

Neither Wilson nor the Steelers care about throwing over the middle of the field, so adding Isaiah Bond only plays to the unit's strengths. Bond's elite speed and post-catch explosiveness would add tremendous value to this offense.

Height: 6'7"

Weight: 280 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: Expect to see major changes along the defensive line in Green Bay after a brutal season for the unit. The answer comes in a gigantic mountain of a man.

Standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 280 pounds, Landon Jackson is perfectly suited as a strong-side pass-rusher and can immediately step onto the field for a team with playoff aspirations. 

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 200 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: Darien Porter, a former receiver who has transitioned to cornerback, is an impressive defender gaining traction in the draft rankings.

Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, he has recorded some of the best statistics among cornerbacks in this class. Known for his exceptional skills in zone coverage, Porter would excel in Brian Flores’ aggressive defensive scheme, provided he can grasp the tactical concepts.

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 227 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: I'm a huge fan of giant safeties, and Nick Emmanwori embodies everything the modern NFL needs. He’s a powerhouse in the box with exceptional tackling ability, yet he's also agile enough to drop into coverage and capitalize on poorly thrown passes.

Emmanwori has grown from a Day 3 prospect to a first-round caliber player. Philadelphia's young secondary just continues to improve.

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 190 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: It's abnormal to see 6 foot 4 cornerbacks, let alone ones who show great movement ability, ball skills, and advanced analytical darlings. However, Tacario Davis is all of those things and is being way undervalued.

Pairing him with Christian Benford in Buffalo's zone-based scheme would be a perfect way for the Bills to usher in the next iteration of Sean McDermott's defense.

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 198 lbs.

Class: Junior

Fit: There aren't many holes on Kansas City's roster, and even fewer have a dearth of talent to develop. Cornerback is the one spot that looks light, even after mid-rounders have been selected in recent years.

Upgrading Nazeeh Johnson with the 6-foot-2 Azareye'h Thomas is a relatively easy call. Thomas is a force in the run game and has allowed only 167 yards on 19 receptions this season.  

Height: 6'6"

Weight: 330 lbs.

Class: Senior

Fit: This could be the final season we see Taylor Decker in Detroit, so plugging in a Day 1 left tackle could work. Aireontae Ersery is a mammoth, standing 6 foot 6 and 330 pounds.

Most importantly, he has a career 98 percent pass-blocking win rate, allowing five sacks in 2,431 snaps and only six penalties in the last two years. He'd be a worthy successor to an elite stalwart.
