​

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 a 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 - Matthew Golden | 6'0 | 195 | WR | Texas

Fans may arguing for a better need fit here, but adding Golden to the passing-catching mix of McBride and MHJ would be scary.​​​

​

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

The Seahawks really need to address their O-line, and Zabel is coveted.

​

19) BuccaneersWill Johnson | 6'2 | 202 | WR | Michigan

The Bucs need to add more integrity to their secondary. While Johnson carries the medical flag, he'd work well in this system.

​​

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

The Broncos would be even deadlier with a franchise RB, a certain need for them.

​​

21) Steelers - Derrick Harmon | 6'5 | 315 | DT/DE | Oregon

Steelers will consider Sanders here, but drafting Harmon to learn under Heyward's tutelage is too rich to pass up.

​

22) Chargers - Jihaad Campbell | 6'3 | 235 | LB | Alabama

Many assume a Wolverine will go here, but the Chargers look bleak at LB and EDGE from a 2026 free agency perspective. Campbell fills a void with obvious talent. 

​

23) Packers - Shemar Stewart | 6'6 | 280 | DE | Texas A&M

Opinions vary on Stewart, but the Pack loves using early picks on talented, front-7 players.

​​​

24) Vikings - Malachi Starks | 6'1 | 205 | SAF | Georgia

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. Starks is great value, however.

​

25) Texans - Josh Simmons | 6'5 | 310 | LT/OG | Ohio State

Simmons looks like a prospect who could play almost anywhere up front. The OT need outweighs any medical concerns.

​

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

The Rams would be smart to draft Stafford's eventual successor. Dart would be the ideal candidate.

​

27) Ravens - Tyler Booker | 6'5 | 335 | OG | Alabama

The Ravens are excellent overall, but this will come down to which player either upgrades a position now, or will in the near future. The OG class isn't real seep, so they grab their future LG here. 

​

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

The Lions have needs at EDGE and iOL, but Grant's talent forces this selection.

​

29) Commanders - Nick Emmanwori | 6'3 | 222 | SAF | South Carolina

The Commanders don't have a lot of needs, so this should be BPA. Emmanwori has a very high ceiling!

​

30) Bills - James Pearce Jr. | 6'5 | 242 | EDGE | Tennessee

The Bills need to add EDGE depth, as Bosa nd Epenesa are UFAs next year.​​

​

31) Chiefs - Donovan Jackson | 6'4 | 320 | OG/OT | Ohio State

The Chiefs have to address their O-line. Jackson looked solid down the stretch, has position flexibility.

​

32) Eagles - Donovan Ezeiruaku | 6'2 | 250 | EDGE | Boston College 

The Eales add a gifted sack artist to their fold.​
