No. 1: Tennessee Titans to Cleveland Browns
QB Cam Ward, Miami
Trade. The Cleveland Browns trade up from No. 2 to No. 1 to get the top pick. The Browns send a third and a fifth to move up one spot. The Browns get their quarterback of the future in Ward. Tennessee gets more draft compensation and moves back one spot.
“I expect that Cam Ward will be the no. 1 pick in the NFL Draft,” – @AdamSchefter.

No. 2: Tennessee Titans from Cleveland Browns
Edge Abdul Carter, Penn State
Carter is a special player. He has a chance to be a good edge player for a long time. He is the No. 1 player on most NFL Draft boards.

No. 3: New York Giants
WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado
The New York Giants pass up a chance to take a quarterback but get an elite player in Hunter. He has a chance to be a star in the NFL.

No. 4: New England Patriots
OT Armand Membou, Missouri
Membou is the biggest stock riser in the draft after his performance at the combine. If you go look at his film, it backs up what we saw at the combine. A huge pick up for New England as they need help at offensive tackle position.
No. 5: Jacksonville Jaguars
DT Mason Graham, Michigan
Graham is a good defensive tackle who has elite traits. This would be a good pick for a Jacksonville defense that needs major upgrades.
No. 6: Las Vegas Raiders
OL Will Campbell, LSU
After the Geno Smith trade, the Raiders are in a win now mode, so they draft Campbell. Campbell is a good offensive lineman prospect, but he has questions whether he is a tackle or must move inside to guard.
No. 7: New York Jets:
TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
Warren is an absolute stud at tight end, but it is not a premium position, so it is fascinating to see where he gets drafted. The Jets get Warren to help new starting quarterback Justin Fields.

No. 8: Carolina Panthers:
LB/Edge Jalon Walker, Georgia
Walker is a good athlete who projects as an edge and someone you can move back to linebacker as well. For the Panthers, he is a good addition to the defense.
No. 9: New Orleans Saints
Edge Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
Stewart has a chance to be an elite-edge player. New Orleans needs help on their defensive line, so Stewart is a good pick.
No. 10: Chicago Bears
RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State
Chicago has upgraded the offensive line in the offseason and now they add the best running back in the draft in Jeanty.
The Bears are favorites to draft Ashton Jeanty…

No. 11: San Francisco 49ers
Edge Mykel Williams, Georgia
San Francisco lost a ton of good defenders in free agency so they add Williams into the fold as a good edge defender.
No. 12 Dallas Cowboys
WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona
Dallas gets another weapon for Dak Prescott and a wide receiver opposite Ceedee Lamb in McMillan.
No. 13 Miami Dolphins
G Tyler Booker, Alabama
Booker is one of the biggest risers recently as most NFL people think he is a first round pick. This pick helps protect quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
No. 14: Indianapolis Colts
CB Will Johnson, Michigan
Indianapolis needs help in the defensive backfield so they draft Michigan cornerback in Johnson.
No. 15: Atlanta Falcons
S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
Emmanwori is another stock riser from the combine, but his film from last year backs up his talent.
No. 16: Arizona Cardinals
Edge James Pearce, Tennessee
There has been a buzz around the NFL about Pearce’s coachability while at Tennessee. As far as pure talent he is one of the best edge players in this draft. Edge is a huge need for Arizona, so Pearce will be helping fix a major hole.
James Pearce Jr / 6’5 / 245lbs
24th DE at Combine / #27
24’ – 38 Tacks, 7.5 Sacks, 1 FF
Combine- 4.47 40yd, 31 Vert, 10’3” Broad

No. 17: Cincinnati Bengals
DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss
The Bengals need help inside at defensive tackle, so getting the talented Nolan would be a huge help.
No. 18: Seattle Seahawks
OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
Seattle needs to address the offensive line group that struggled last year, so picking Banks would be a huge help because he is one of the best offensive tackles in the draft.
No. 19: Tampa Bay Buccaners
LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama
Tampa Bay needs help at multiple positions on defense, so drafting Campbell would be a good pick. He can play as both a linebacker and an edge.
No. 20: Denver Broncos
TE Colston Loveland, Michigan
The Broncos had a successful season in year one with Bo Nix as the starting quarterback and now they get him a weapon in Loveland, a talented tight end. Loveland has the skills to be a high-end tight end in the NFL.
Michigan TE Colston Loveland is going to be a mismatch nightmare in the NFL. 6'5 3/4 and 248 lbs shouldn't move like this pic.twitter.com/uMnzLgeT3P

No. 21: Pittsburgh Stellers
QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
The Steelers stay at No. 21 and get their quarterback of the future in Sanders. Lots of debate about where Sanders will be drafted because enough questions about him as a player who could drop in the first round.

No. 22: Los Angeles Chargers
OL Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
The Chargers need help on the offensive line so they draft Jackson who could slide inside to guard. Jackson also played left tackle last year when Josh Simmons got hurt.
No. 23: Green Bay Packers
WR Matthew Golden, Texas
Golden is one of the biggest stock risers in the draft and he fills a huge need for Green Bay at wide receiver.
No. 24: Minnesota Vikings
S Malaki Starks, Georgia
Minnesota needs help at the safety position and they get one of the best safety prospects in the draft in Starks.
No. 25: Houston Texans
OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Simmons was having a great year until he tore his patellar tendon. His recovery looks like it has been going well, so most NFL teams think he gets drafted in the first round. This is a huge need for the Texans after they traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil to Washington.
No. 26: Los Angeles Rams
CB Jahdae Barron, Texas
Cornerback is a huge need for the Rams, so they get Barron, the 2024 Thorpe Award winner. He is a talented cornerback that could play safety as well.
No. 27: Baltimore Ravens
Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
Ezeiuaku is considered one of the sleepers in this draft as an edge defender. The Ravens get another player to play on the edge.
No. 28: Detroit Lions
DT Tyleik Williams, Ohio State
The Lions defense needs to be upgraded and what is a better spot then getting a talented defensive tackle in Williams. Williams was a force inside for the Buckeyes last year.

No. 29 Washington Commanders
Edge Mike Green, Marshall
Washington needs to fix a defense that struggled most of the year, so they get Green a talented edge defender.
No. 30: Buffalo Bills
DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan
Grant isn’t as explosive as his former Wolverines teammate Graham, but he has the skill set to be a good defensive tackle.
No. 31: Kansas City Chiefs
WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State
Having addressed the offensive line in free agency the Chiefs get Egbuka, a good wide receiver who could thrive playing with Patrick Mahomes.
3+ minutes of Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka cooking on All-22 to the greatest song of all time.
• Safest prospect in the Draft. But make no mistake, the ceiling is NOT limited. Immediate impact player in the NFL.

No. 32: Philadephia Eagles
Edge Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
The Eagles always draft for the best available and in Scourton they get another pass rusher with immense talent.
