Round 1 |
1 |
Panthers
f/CHI
| CJ Stroud | QB | Ohio State |
We are post free agency, but one thing is still for sure in this draft; Carolina is taking a Quarterback. Young is the presumptive #1 but Stroud fits better the model of QB1 Frank Reich is known for molding. |
2 |
Texans
| Bryce Young | QB | Alabama |
Bryce in Houston just feels right. Maybe that is because Houston had the first pick in the draft all the way up until week 18. That is when they proved that they lose even when they win. So here you go Texans, you get your guy even though you lost your spot. |
3 |
Cardinals
| Will Anderson Jr. | ED | Alabama |
There is a world where this is another Quarterback taken at 3 when Las Vegas comes up to get whomever they want before Indianapolis gets a chance. If Arizona picks here, the top pass rusher is a good way to kick off the Jonathan Gannon/Monte Ossenfort era. |
4 |
Colts
| Will Levis | QB | Kentucky |
5 |
Seahawks
f/DEN
| Tyree Wilson | ED | Texas Tech |
Tyree is a toolsy edge rusher that has pushed his way to the top of the draft. |
6 |
Lions
f/LAR
| Jalen Carter | DT | Georgia |
This will be considered a steal for Detroit as Carter is ranked really high (1 or 2) by most of the draftnicks. Carter is a disruptive force up the middle that will not see his stock fall despite his recent arrest. |
7 |
Raiders
| Peter Skoronski | OT | Northwestern |
8 |
Falcons
| Devon Witherspoon | CB | Illinois |
9 |
Bears
f/CAR
| Paris Johnson Jr. | OT | Ohio State |
10 |
Eagles
f/NO
| Bijan Robinson | RB | Texas |
11 |
Titans
| Quentin Johnston | WR | TCU |
12 |
Texans
f/CLE
| Myles Murphy | ED | Clemson |
13 |
Jets
| Lukas Van Ness | ED | Iowa |
14 |
Patriots
| Christian Gonzalez | CB | Oregon |
15 |
Packers
| Jordan Addison | WR | Southern Cal |
16 |
Commanders
| Anthony Richardson | QB | Florida |
17 |
Steelers
| Joey Porter Jr. | CB | Penn State |
18 |
Lions
| Dalton Kincaid | TE | Utah |
19 |
Buccaneers
| Broderick Jones | OT | Georgia |
20 |
Seahawks
| Jaxon Smith-Njigba | WR | Ohio State |
21 |
Chargers
| Calijah* Kancey | DT | Pittsburgh |
22 |
Ravens
| Zay Flowers | WR | Boston College |
Baltimore GM Eric DeCosta says the team will keep swinging in the draft at wide receiver. Zay Flowers is the last wideout that I have rated as a 1st rounder. Bigger questions surround who will be throwing the ball in Baltimore come the fall. |
23 |
Vikings
| Hendon Hooker | QB | Tennessee |
24 |
Jaguars
| Deonte Banks | CB | Maryland |
25 |
Giants
| Jalin Hyatt | WR | Tennessee |
26 |
Cowboys
| Nolan Smith | ED | Georgia |
27 |
Bills
| Bryan* Bresee | DT | Clemson |
28 |
Bengals
| Michael Mayer | TE | Notre Dame |
What a luxury pick this would be. Imagine you are a defensive coordinator and you have to prepare for a Burrow lead attack consisting of Chase, Higgins, Boyd, and Mayer. Good luck covering that. |
29 |
Saints
f/SF/MIA/DEN
| Keion White | ED | Georgia Tech |
30 |
Eagles
| O'Cyrus Torrence | OG | Florida |
31 |
Chiefs
| Darnell Wright | OT | Tennessee |
