1. Jacksonville Jaguars, Evan Neal, OT, Alabama
Protection for T-Law in Year 2.
2. Detroit Lions, Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan
Pencil this one in as a lock.
3. Houston Texans, Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame
Imagine a combination of Ed Reed and Honey Badger
4. New York Jets, Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon
The Jets need to improve their defense, Von should be an instant impact starter.
5. New York Giants, Andrew Booth Jr., CB, Clemson
The Giants could get more picks with a Saquon Barkley trade on the horizon. Address the defense and move on.
6. Carolina Panthers, Matt Corral, QB, Mississippi
Corral fits the Panthers’ system better than Pickett or Willis. I have a strong feeling he would start Day 1 as well.
7. New York Giants, Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State
Danny Jones is in Year 4. Find out who he is. Get him some weapons and put him to the test.
8. Atlanta Falcons, Malik Willis, QB, Liberty
Willis won’t replace Matt Ryan immediately, but 2023 could be his time to shine.
9. Denver Broncos, Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M
Denver is looking for a superstar QB, However, if they can’t land one, a stud guard is a good fallback plan.
10. New York Jets, Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
Get Zach Wilson some receiving help in Year 2.
11. Washington Commanders, Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh
Pickett fits the Washington system and has huge potential; should start Week 1.
12. Minnesota Vikings, Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU
Lockdown corner, plug and play, enough said.
13. Cleveland Browns, Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State
Cleveland is in a similar situation as the Broncos, I believe they make the same choice.
14. Baltimore Ravens, Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama
Get Lamar a weapon, and a speedy one at that.
15. Philadelphia Eagles, Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati
Philly gets a stud corner to pair with Darius Slay.
16. Philadelphia Eagles, Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
Get Jalen Hurts some necessary protection, Cross should start immediately.
17. Los Angeles Chargers, David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan
Ojabo should pair nicely with Joey Bosa on the outside.
18. New Orleans Saints, Tyler Linderbaum, OC, Iowa
With Pickett and Willis off the board, the Saints receive some O-Line help.
19. Philadelphia Eagles, Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
Philly picks up another defensive stud.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers, Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina
Howell had a good combine, I see this as a steal for Pittsburgh.
21. New England Patriots, DeMarvin Leal, DT, Texas A&M
This feels like a Bill Belichick pick. Leal and Barmore will block every running lane.
22. Las Vegas Raiders, Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, Florida State
Crosby needs a running mate on the outside.
23. Arizona Cardinals, Daxton Hill, S, Michigan
Budda Baker should be ready for the 2022 season, but they lack a free safety.
24. Dallas Cowboys, Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
A shutdown corner on the outside opposite Diggs is the Cowboy’s dream.
25. Buffalo Bills, Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia
A big body in the middle should help the Bills D.
26. Tennesse Titans, Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia
Dean should replace Jayon Brown in the mike spot.
27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa
Tampa will need to protect their 2022 QB, no matter who it is.
28. Green Bay Packers, Drake London, WR, USC
Green Bay will need a WR2 now that Davante Adams appears to be returning.
29. Miami Dolphins, Perrion Winfrey, DT, Oklahoma
Winfrey had a big Senior Bowl and should be a good find late in the first round.
30. Kansas City, Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn State
Tyrann Mathieu could be leaving; Brisker will be an instant replacement.
31. Cincinnati Bengals, Zion Johnson, OG, Boston College
Protect Burrow at all costs.
32. Detroit Lions, George Karlaftis, EDGE, Purdue
Two edge rushers may seem like overkill, but Detriot needs them badly.
