At this point, I doubt they do. Round 1 - Pick 2 QB LSU Sr 6'4" / 210 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 14th POSITION RNK 3rd Kliff Kingsbury has worked with Williams, but he should be able to tap into the skills of the dynamic Daniels too, right? Round 1 - Pick 3 WR Ohio State Jr 6'4" / 205 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 1st POSITION RNK 1st Now with Fields and Harrison, the Patriots offense looks significantly more explosive than it's been in the post Tom Brady era. Round 1 - Pick 4 WR Washington Jr 6'3" / 215 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 7th POSITION RNK 2nd The Cardinals are desperate for a quarterback-friendly boundary receiver, and they'd get that with Odunze. Mock Trade from Round 1 - Pick 5 QB North Carolina Soph 6'4" / 230 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 15th POSITION RNK 1st The Chargers, with new GM Joe Hortiz, may very well be interested in more picks. If Maye is available at No. 5, they'll field plenty of calls. To ensure they get their guy, the Giants trade up one spot. Mock Trade from Round 1 - Pick 6 OT Oregon State Jr 6'6" / 334 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 6th POSITION RNK 2nd The Chargers continue the previous regime's build-the-trenches-early philosophy with Fuaga. Instant plus starter at right tackle. Los Angeles gets pick No. 70 (third-round) in John Cominsky Jersey this swap. Round 1 - Pick 7 OT Penn State Jr 6'6" / 317 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 20th POSITION RNK 4th The Titans send this pick in as soon as graphic flips to their logo as on the clock. Franchise left tackle for Will Levis. Round 1 - Pick 8 EDGE UCLA Sr 6'5" / 265 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 12th POSITION RNK 3rd The Falcons add a premier, NFL-ready outside rusher to the defense. Huge need filled. Round 1 - Pick 9 WR LSU Jr 6'0" / 200 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 10th POSITION RNK 3rd Williams and Nabers can be a tremendous All-Pro caliber duo in Chicago. Don't forget about D.J. Moore either. Round 1 - Pick 10 OT Notre Dame Jr 6'7" / 322 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 5th POSITION RNK 2nd There's a touch of projection with Alt -- he needs to get stronger. Technically, he's all set. This Jets have to addre s the offensive front with Aaron Rodgers set to return in 2024. Round 1 - Pick 11 QB Michigan Jr 6'3" / 202 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 34th POSITION RNK 5th The Vikings go with McCarthy, who has plus arm talent and athleticism, two things the quarterback spot has lacked in Minnesota during the productive Kirk Cousins era. Round 1 - Pick 12 TE Georgia Jr 6'4" / 240 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 4th POSITION RNK 1st Sean Payton knows the impact an electric tight end can have on an offense, and can't pa s on Bowers here. Round 1 - Pick 13 CB Alabama Soph 6'0" / 196 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 17th POSITION RNK 1st Arnold is a super-fluid athlete who became a ball-hawking corner in his final season at Alabama. Huge boost for the Raiders secondary. Round 1 - Pick 14 OT Alabama Jr 6'6" / 360 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 11th POSITION RNK 3rd With an SEC pedigree at multiple positions, Latham is a smart selection here for the Saints during the Derek Carr era. Round 1 - Pick 15 CB Clemson Jr 6'2" / 185 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 18th POSITION RNK 2nd Dorian Etheridge Jersey Wiggins is a sleek athlete on the perimeter who was around the football often in the air for the Tigers in 2023. Round 1 - Pick 16 CB Iowa Jr 6'1" / 207 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 22nd POSITION RNK 4th DeJean is a do-everything defensive back who'll be a fun che s piece for Mike McDonald right away. Round 1 - Pick 17 WR LSU Jr 6'4" / 205 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 27th POSITION RNK 4th Thomas is a sizable, athletic, well-rounded weapon, which is needed in Jacksonville. Round 1 - Pick 18 OT Arizona Sr 6'5" / 325 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 22nd POSITION RNK 5th The Bengals know how vital it is protecting Joe Burrow, so Morgan is added as one of the best pa s-blockers in the cla s. Round 1 - Pick 19 S Miami (FL) Jr 6'0" / 205 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 32nd POSITION RNK 1st Kinchens can be the quarterback of the Rams defense and make an impact in a variety of ways from his safety spot. Round 1 - Pick 20 CB Toledo Jr 6'0" / 196 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 29th POSITION RNK 7th How about a cornerback pairing of Mitchell and Joey Porter Jr. for the next 5-7 years in Pittsburgh? Round 1 - Pick 21 OL Oregon Jr 6'3" / 320 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 196th Frank Darby Jersey POSITION RNK 16th If Connor Williams isn't re-signed, uh yeah, the Dolphins have a gaping hole at center, and Powers-Johnson is one rather large and athletic blocker at that position. Round 1 - Pick 22 CB Alabama Jr 6'1" / 195 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 17th POSITION RNK 1st The Eagles absolutely need to addre s their secondary early in the draft, and McKinstry has long looked like a future first-round pick on the field. From Round 1 - Pick 23 EDGE Penn State Jr 6'3" / 254 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 18th POSITION RNK 4th If the Texans lose Jonathan Greenard in free agency, they'll likely be in the edge market early in the draft, and Robinson has freaky athletic gifts around the corner. Round 1 - Pick 24 EDGE Florida State Jr 6'4" / 260 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 15th POSITION RNK 3rd Given that DeMarcus Lawrence is in the twilight of his career, the Cowboys want to restock the edge-rusher shelf, and do so here with Verse. Round 1 - Pick 25 CB Georgia Jr 6'0" / 180 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 27th POSITION RNK 6th La siter pieced together a fine season at Georgia and po se ses first-round-caliber traits. The Packers haven't been shy about drafting defensive backs in Round 1.

From Round 1 - Pick 27 DL Texas Jr 6'1" / 308 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 11th POSITION RNK 2nd The Cardinals are ecstatic about Murphy being available this late in Round 1 given his incendiary first step and pa s-rush move arsenal. Round 1 - Pick 28 WR Oregon Jr 6'3" / 187 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 48th POSITION RNK 9th Franklin is Michael Turner Jersey a tall speedster whose numbers increased in each of his three seasons at Oregon. There's some after-the-catch juice to his game, too. Precisely what the Bills need offensively. Round 1 - Pick 29 DL Mi souri Sr 6'5" / 296 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 138th POSITION RNK 13th Robinson could actually go higher than this, but if he's here, the Mi souri star would be sensible for a Lions club that needs another rusher up front opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Round 1 - Pick 30 DL Illinois Jr 6'2" / 295 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 16th POSITION RNK 2nd Another beefy but polished defensive lineman for the Ravens. Newton was awesome at Illinois and can really rush the pa ser. Mock Trade from Round 1 - Pick 31 QB Oregon Sr 6'2" / 217 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 42nd POSITION RNK 6th To get that extra year on the rookie deal, the Broncos move back into Round 1 for Nix, who Payton will likely love due to his vast collegiate experience and the maturation he showed as a quick decision-maker from the pocket at Oregon. In this deal, the 49ers move this selection and a 2025 fourth-round pick and receive Denver's 2025 first-rounder and No. 76 in this draft (third round). Round 1 - Pick 32 WR Texas Jr 6'4" / 196 lbs Projected Team PROSPECT RNK 37th POSITION RNK 7th Mitchell is just scratching the surface as to how good he can be.
