7 | 1 | Tennessee Titans | QB, WR, EDGE | 4 | 8 | 1 | Cam Ward | QB | Miami | Consensus believes the Titans will keep the #1 pick and choose Cam Ward as their new franchise QB. It makes sense. Incoming GM Mike Borgonzi uses this opportunity to get exactly the guy he wants to build around. | Dan Moore, PIT LT Kevin Zeitler, DET RG | $27 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/nyg | YES | ||||||||||||||||||||
8 | 2 | Cleveland Browns | QB, WR, LT | 4 | 1 | 2 | Travis Hunter | CB/WR | Colorado | The Browns opt for the best player in this class, to primarily play as a lockdown CB to improve their secondary and also add a playmaking target to Pickett/Flacco. | Kenny Pickett, PHI QB (trade) Teven Jenkins, CHI LG | $18 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/cle | |||||||||||||||||||||

10 | 4 | New England Patriots | LT, WR, EDGE | 3 | 11 | 9 | Will Campbell | LT | LSU | Vrabel dismisses the critics and takes Campbell to address the undeniable biggest need of a blindside protecter for Drake Maye. T-Rex Campbell will be their starting LT on Day 1. The Patriots might consider trading down to CHI if they want Jeanty. | Milton Williams, PHI DT Carlton Davis, DET CB Morgan Moses, NYJ RT Stefon Diggs, HOU WR Robert Spillane, LV LB | $69 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/ne | |||||||||||||||||||||
11 | 5 | Jacksonville Jaguars | NT, CB | 4 | 3 | 4 | Ashton Jeanty | RB | Boise State | Chicago tries very hard to trade up here, but I've convinced myself the Jags will stay and take Jeanty at #5. Formerly as the OC of the Bucs, their new HC Liam Coen ran the rock 28 times and averaged 150 yards per game. Etienne has been ineffective and is now on a contract year. Jeanty will immediately add a dynamic element to this offense and is capable of breaking away for a big play at any time. With Trevor, Brian, and now Ashton, the Jags' offense is finally taking shape. | Patrick Mekari, BAL LG | $18 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/jax/ | |||||||||||||||||||||
12 | 6 | LV Raiders | CB, RB, WR | 4 | 10 | 13 | Jahdae Barron | CB | Texas | With Jeanty is off the board, CB is LV's biggest need (which Carroll also prioritized in SEA). The Raiders' secondary allowed 29 passing TDs last year & no defensive player had more than 3 INTs. Graham's defensive scheme is flexible, but often features 5 defensive backs. That's a perfect fit for Barron, who is a "high IQ Swiss army knife." He will initially start at nickel and replace the loss of both Nate Hobbs and Tre'von Moehrig in FA. | Geno Smith, SEA QB | $50 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/lv | YES - Michigan alum Tom Brady might lobby for JJ McCarthy to be the Raiders' next franchise QB. If he's willing to convince the top brass that JJ is better than Shedeur or Cam Ward, LV could trade the #6 pick (and possibly even more) to Minnesota for JJ. And the Vikings would stick with the still-only-27-years-old Darnold another year or three. | ||||||||||||||||||||
13 | 7 | New York Jets | RT, WR, TE | 4 | 9 | 5 | Armand Membou | RT | Missouri | The Jets don't overthink this. They lost two tackles last year, Tyron Smith to IR and then Morgan Moses to FA, so they do Justin Fields a solid and invest in Membou to be their franchise RT. | Justin Fields, PIT QB Brandon Stephens, BAL CB | $9 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/nyj | |||||||||||||||||||||
14 | 8 | Carolina Panthers | WR, EDGE | 3 | 5 | 8 | Jalon Walker | EDGE/LB | Georgia | The Panthers gave up a league-worst 180 rushing yds/game and ended 3rd-worst with only 32 sacks. While Graham is tempting, they expect the return of Derrick Brown from IR should help them fill the trenches. Walker is high-impact leader who can play multiple positions and vastly improve their currently-ineffective 3-4 defense. | Jaycee Horn, CAR CB (re-sign) Patrick Jones, MIN EDGE Tre'Von Moehrig, LV S | $17 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/car | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | 9 | New Orleans Saints | NT, OL, WR | 3 | 4 | 6 | Mason Graham | DT | Michigan | The Saints' biggest need is a DT in the trenches who can consistently stuff the run. They turn in the card immediately for Graham, who is a best-case scenario for new DC Brandon Staley to improve their defensive front. | Chase Young, NO EDGE (re-sign) Brandin Cooks, DAL WR Justin Reid, KC S | $29 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/no | |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | 10 | Chicago Bears | RB, EDGE, LT | 4 | 27 | 10 | Kelvin Banks Jr. | LT | Texas | The Bears should use this premium pick on a premium position. Even after investing heavily in the IOL during the offseason, Caleb is still holding the ball too long and needs a true blindside protector. Braxton has suffered with injuries and is now on a contract year. Banks is the right fit here. He performed at a high-level against SEC competition, and can even use his first year to develop. | Jonah Jackson, LAR LG (trade) Joe Thuney, KC LG (trade) Drew Dalman, ATL C Dayo Odeyingbo, IND EDGE Grady Jarrett, ATL DT | $29 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/chi | |||||||||||||||||||||
17 | 11 | San Francisco 49ers | DL, OL, CB | 4 | 28 | 11 | Walter Nolen | DT | Mississippi | Nolen in an explosive DT whose "twitch and burst are rare for a player of his size".

18 | 12 | Dallas Cowboys | RB, WR, RG | 4 | 19 | 7 | Tetairoa McMillan | WR | Arizona | WWJD = "What Would Jerry Do?" The Cowboys' offensive-minded owner can't help but take the WR alpha of this class. Tet's size and length pairs well with CeeDee's speed, giving Dak a nice duo of receiving options in an exciting and high-scoring NFC East. | $17 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/dal | ||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | 13 | Miami Dolphins | LT, NT, CB | 3 | 16 | 29 | Will Johnson | CB | Michigan | The Dolphins lost Holland in FA and are actively trying to trade Ramsey, making the secondary their top priority. Will Johnson's turf toe injury and non-participation at the combine are risks. But let's not forget he's also a fluid, lockdown corner and his 90.8 PFF grade in man-coverage in 2022-2023 was at the top of the FBS. He'll fit right in to Miami's zone-coverage scheme. | $13 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/mia | ||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | 14 | Indianapolis Colts | TE, IOL, EDGE | 4 | 6 | 18 | Tyler Warren | TE | Penn State | Even with GM Chris Ballard saying the Colts are happy with their current TE group, this is a huge positional need and Warren is a perfect fit. He'll immediately add run-blocking support for Jonathan Taylor and also be the safety net in the middle for the signal-calling competition between Richardson and Jones. | Charvarius Ward, SF CB Daniel Jones, MIN QB Cam Bynum, MIN S Evan Neal, NYG OT | $22 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/ind | |||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 15 | Atlanta Falcons | EDGE, DL, CB | 3 | 12 | 19 | Jihaad Campbell | LB | Alabama | The Falcons have multiple positional needs in their currently-ineffective 3-4, which got only 31 sacks last year (2nd-worst in the league). Campbell is a tough and athletic linebacker who played ILB at Alabama but has the speed to line up as an EDGE. He did recently have shoulder surgery, which creates an injury risk, but he should be ready to make an impact on Day 1 of the regular season. | Jake Matthews, ATL OT (re-sign) | $12 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/atl | |||||||||||||||||||||
22 | 16 | Arizona Cardinals | DT, RT | 4 | 24 | 20 | Derrick Harmon | DT | Oregon | Harmon is a wrecking ball who consistently finds himself in the backfield and instinctively stopping the run.

23 | 17 | Cincinnati Bengals | EDGE, CB, IOL | 4 | 22 | 24 | Mykel Williams | EDGE | Georgia | Great fit here in CIN's 4-3. Hendrickson is the NFL's sack leader who will aggressively rush the passer but is also currently seeking a trade. Mykel has the prototypical EDGE who can offer pass rush support, but can also help against the run. | Tee Higgins, CIN WR (tag) | $24 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/sea/seattle-seahawks | |||||||||||||||||||||
24 | 18 | Seattle Seahawks | IOL, WR | 3 | 26 | 32 | Grey Zabel | IOL | North Dakota St | Zabel's mobility and technique in the Seahawks' zone-scheme will offer some much-needed rushing support and pass protection for one of the league's worst offensive lines. Seattle has a glaring need for a LG after losing Laken Tomlinson in FA. | Sam Darnold, MIN QB Cooper Kupp, LAR WR Demarcus Lawrence, DAL EDGE | $37 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/sea | |||||||||||||||||||||
25 | 19 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | EDGE, CB | 3 | 21 | 23 | Mike Green | EDGE | Marshall | Bucs' HC & DC Todd Bowles plays an aggressive 3-4 defensive scheme who loves to blitz. Green is the best pure pass rusher of this class: quick off the snap and highly-productive. He led the FBS with 17 sacks last year. | Haason Reddick, NYJ EDGE Chris Godwin, TB WR (re-sign) | $2 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/tb | |||||||||||||||||||||
26 | 20 | Denver Broncos | RB, WR | 3 | 13 | 37 | Omarion Hampton | RB | North Carolina | Sean Payton likes to run his offense "through RBs, TEs, and slot receivers."

27 | 21 | NY Giants (from PIT) | QB, IOL | 3 | 20 | 21 | Shedeur Sanders | QB | Colorado | TRADE! PIT trades #21 (800) to NYG for #34 (560), #65 (265), and 2026 4th (~50). THE MOST IMPORTANT PICK OF THE DRAFT. The Giants' front office is split, with Schoen/Daboll wanting Carter at #3 and Mara wanting their QB of the future. They agree to trade up and to get both. Shedeur has the poise to handle the NY spotlight, is already building chemistry with WR1 Malik Nabers, and is excited about the challenge of transforming the team who drafts him. He can take the first half of the year to sit behind Russ & Jameis to develop his throwing fundamentals. | DK Metcalf, SEA WR (trade) Aaron Rodgers, NYJ QB (???) | $35 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/pit | |||||||||||||||||||||
28 | 22 | LA Chargers | WR, NT, EDGE | 3 | 31 | 16 | Kenneth Grant | NT | Michigan | "Kenneth Grant is a gift from the football gods." - Jim Harbaugh, when he coached him at Michigan.

29 | 23 | Green Bay Packers | EDGE, WR | 4 | 23 | 15 | Shemar Stewart | EDGE | Texas A&M | The Packers haven't yet traded their injury-ridden CB1 Jaire Alexander & now also have two former Raiders (Hobbs and Nixon) vying for starting roles. There's no need to stock the secondary pond any further, so GB addresses its EDGE need and drafts one of the most athletically-gifted players in this class. | Aaron Banks, SF LG Nate Hobbs, LV CB | $33 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/gb/green-bay-packers | |||||||||||||||||||||
30 | 24 | NO Saints (from MIN) | OL, WR | 3 | 36 | 30 | Jaxson Dart | QB | Ole Miss | TRADE! MIN gives #24 (740) to NO for #40 (500) + #71 (235). The Vikings only have 4 picks this year and Kwesi is famously a dealmaker on Draft Day. He accepts the Saints deal of a 2nd and 3rd as a better offer than Buffalo offering #30 + two 4ths. The Saints' incoming HC Kellen Moore needs to hit the reset button at QB and the rumor mill is heavily liking them to Dart (who reminds many of fellow Ole Miss alum Archie Manning). While drafting him at #9 would've been too rich, they're happy to move up into the late 1st to bring in their future signal-caller. | $3 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/min/minnesota-vikings | ||||||||||||||||||||||
31 | 25 | Houston Texans | OL, WR | 4 | 37 | 25 | Josh Simmons | LT | Ohio State | The Texans picked up 3 OL in FA after trading Tunsil, but they're all on one-year deals.

32 | 26 | LA Rams | CB, QB2 | 3 | 7 | 14 | Colston Loveland | TE | Michigan | While CB is the greater need, Sean McVay knows he only gets a few more years with Stafford and can't pass on the value of Loveland at #26. He'll join Davante and Puka to give the Rams a dynamic passing attack at multiple levels. The Rams' former starting TE Tyler Higbee was injured for most of last year. | Davante Adams, NYJ WR Alaric Jackson, LAR LT (re-sign) | -$2 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/lar/los-angeles-rams | |||||||||||||||||||||
33 | 27 | Baltimore Ravens | LG, EDGE | 3 | 17 | 43 | Tyler Booker | LG | Alabama | Booker makes his opponents "not love football anymore." He's a mauler in the run game and has hands like vice grips in pass protection. Booker has exactly the type of football character the Ravens seek, and it's opportune timing after they lost their LG Patrick Mekari in FA. | Ronnie Stanley, BAL LT (re-sign) | $13 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/bal | |||||||||||||||||||||
34 | 28 | Detroit Lions | EDGE, LG | 4 | 45 | 53 | Nic Scourton | EDGE | Texas A&M | Scourton is a powerful bull-rusher who has the build the Lions look for in an EDGE.

35 | 29 | Seattle Seahawks (from WAS) | WR | 4 | 14 | 17 | Matthew Golden | WR | Texas | TRADE! WAS trades #29 (640) to SEA for #50 (400) + #82 (180) + 2026 3rd (~180). Seattle is flush w/ picks & trades up to draft Golden, the speedy receiver who would perfectly be the X who complements JSN & Kupp in Kubiak's offense. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
36 | 30 | Buffalo Bills | DL, DB, WR | 4 | 25 | 27 | Malaki Starks | S | Georgia | Buffalo gets a fantastic value with Starks still available at #24. He'll be a leader of their secondary.

37 | 31 | Kansas City Chiefs | EDGE, LT | 4 | 39 | 26 | Josh Conerly Jr. | LT | Oregon | The Chiefs will look for a LT here, after signing backup Jaylon Moore to just a two-year deal and with Kingsley likely to move inside to LG after struggling as a rookie. Conerly has good technique and great potential, though he'll need some time to build strength and develop. | Trey Smith, KC RG (tag) Jaylon Moore, SF LT | $13 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/kc/kansas-city-chiefs | |||||||||||||||||||||
38 | 32 | Cleveland Browns (from PHI) | LT, QB | 4 | 86 | 33 | Jalen Milroe | QB | Alabama | TRADE! PHI trades #32 (590) to CLE for #33 (580) + #104 (86). PHI moves down one spot and CLE pays a premium to pick up Milroe's 5-yr option by drafting him in the 1st round. Jalen has the arm strength and the rushing speed, but he needs time to develop his fundamentals. The Browns reunite him with his Alabama OC Tommy Rees as a developmental project and ideally let him sit during his first year as a backup to Kenny Pickett. | $18 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/phi | ||||||||||||||||||||||

41 | 33 | Philadelphia Eagles (from CLE) | DT, EDGE | 4 | 33 | 38 | James Pearce Jr. | EDGE | Tennessee | The Eagles have a good history of turning players with 'character concerns' into productive defensive linemen. Pearce is athletic, fast, and had 7.5 sacks with a 19% pressure rate last year. He'll fill the void left after losing Josh Sweat and will make Philly's front 7 even more intimidating. | Zack Baun, PHI LB (re-sign) Kenyon Green, HOU LG (trade) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
42 | 34 | Pittsburgh Steelers (from NYG) | QB, NT | 3 | 67 | 41 | Tyleik Williams | NT | Ohio State | The Steelers' 3-4 needs a dependable NT to stuff the run and allow TJ Watt and Cam Heyward to rush the QB from the EDGE. The 335 pound Tyleik Williams is exactly that type of player. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
43 | 35 | Tennessee Titans | WR, EDGE | 4 | 18 | 35 | Emeka Egbuka | WR | Ohio State | The Titans give their new franchise QB another talented receiver. Egbuka is a productive slot receiver who will allow Calvin Ridley to play outside and will help Cam Ward move the chains. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
44 | 36 | Jacksonville Jaguars | NT, CB | 4 | 42 | 28 | Trey Amos | CB | Ole Miss | JAX gave up a league-worst 257 passing yards/game last year. Amos is a ball-hawk with excellent instincts; he'll be a good fit into their zone scheme and can immediately make an impact. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
45 | 37 | LV Raiders | WR, CB | 4 | 32 | 39 | TreVeyon Henderson | RB | Ohio State | Pete Carroll gets his three-down bellcow with Henderson, who's capable of ripping off big plays and will be the first step towards reinvigorating the Raiders' offense. | Other Notable FAs Available | |||||||||||||||||||||||
46 | 38 | New England Patriots | WR, EDGE | 3 | 30 | 22 | Donovan Ezeiruaku | EDGE | Boston College | The Pats had a league-worst 28 sacks last year and didn't really address the EDGE need in FA other than Harold Landry. EZ is fast, long-armed, and an athletic pass rusher who had an excellent combine. | Aaron Rodgers, NYJ QB | |||||||||||||||||||||||
47 | 39 | Chicago Bears (from CAR) | RB, EDGE | 4 | 53 | 44 | Kaleb Johnson | RB | Iowa | Johnson is a first-team Big 10 back who is strong and dynamic.

48 | 40 | Minnesota Vikings (from NO) | S, QB2 | 4/3 | 15 | 40 | Nick Emmanwori | S | South Carolina | Perfect scenario for the Vikings that Emmanwori is still available at #40. He's big (6'3", 220), fast (4.4 40YD), and killed it at the combine (43"vert, 11ft+ broad). He'll learn a lot in his rookie year from his new mentor Harrison Smith (who is now 36 years old) and might even play some nickel. | Aaron Jones, MIN RB (re-sign) Ryan Kelly, IND C Will Fries, IND RG Byron Murphy, MIN CB (re-sign) Jonathan Allen, WSH DT Javon Hargrave, SF DT Jeff Okudah, HOU CB | |||||||||||||||||||||||
49 | 41 | Chicago Bears | EDGE | 4 | 49 | 56 | JT Tuimoloau | EDGE | Ohio State | JT is moving up on the draft boards; a strong and bull-rushing DE who will fit nicely into Dennis Allen's aggressive 4-3. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
50 | 42 | New York Jets | WR, TE | 4 | 29 | 54 | Mason Taylor | TE | LSU | The Jets don't have a starting TE on the roster, so they continue to invest in Fields by giving him Taylor as a safety valve in the middle of the field. Suddenly the NYJ have a functional offense again! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
51 | 43 | San Francisco 49ers | DL, OL, CB | 4 | 41 | 36 | Donovan Jackson | IOL | Ohio State | The 49ers lost their starting LG Aaron Banks to the Pack in FA. Jackson can immediately fill that need, while potentially being also moving outside to fit their longer-term need as a LT replacement for Trent Williams. | $27 | https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/wsh/washington-commanders | ||||||||||||||||||||||
52 | 44 | Dallas Cowboys | RB, OL | 4 | 38 | 51 | Quinshon Judkins | RB | Ohio State | The 2nd-round run on the Buckeyes continues! Javonte Williams isn't a full-time starter but the Cowboys will want to run the ball a lot this year. Judkins is an aggressive RB who in many ways resembles Zeke Elliott. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
53 | 45 | Indianapolis Colts | IOL | 4 | 62 | 47 | Tate Ratledge | RG | Georgia | First-team all-SEC RG who plays with a mean-streak and with toughness. Perfect fit for the Colts, who need to rebuild the right side of their OL that they lost to the Vikings in FA. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
54 | 46 | Denver Broncos (from ATL) | WR | 3 | 35 | 31 | Luther Burden III | WR | Missouri | TRADE! ATL trades #46 (440) to DEN for #51 (390) + #122 (50). Intrigued by Burden still being available, DEN jumps ARI to move up and draft the YAC-machine in the slot. He'll perfectly pair with Sutton's speed as a reliable option in Nix's 2nd year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
55 | 47 | Arizona Cardinals | RT | 4 | 34 | 42 | Maxwell Hairston | CB | Kentucky | The Cards' secondary was average last year (216 pass yds/game; 15th in NFL), and yet they don't hesitate to upgrade it here. Hairston is a feisty boundary cornerback whose 4.28 second 40YD will be very appealing to Arizona's young and creative DC Nick Rallis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
56 | 48 | Miami Dolphins | LT, NT | 3 | 83 | 29 | Aireontae Ersery | LT | Minnesota | Patrick Paul struggled last year might not improve in 2025. Miami can't afford to gamble given Tua's concussion history, so they invest in another LT/LG. Ersey is a massive man who excels in run-blocking but still needs to develop in pass protection. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
57 | 49 | Cincinnati Bengals | CB, IOL | 4 | 47 | 49 | Jonah Savaiinaea | RT/RG | Arizona | A RT in college who is likely to move inside to RG in the NFL and ran an impressive 4.95 40YD at the combine. Another massive human being (325 lbs) who will squeeze nicely into the Bengals bulky OL. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
58 | 50 | Wash Commanders (from SEA) | EDGE, RG, CB | 3 | 44 | 57 | Benjamin Morrison | CB | Notre Dame | The Lattimore trade with the Saints hasn't worked out, so (ironically) the Commanders draft Morrison as a fluid press corner to upgrade their secondary. He likely would have been an early 1st round pick had he not suffered a season-ending hip injury in October. | Deebo Samuel, SF WR (trade) Laremy Tunsil, HOU LT (trade) Javon Kinlaw, NYJ DT Michael Gallup, DAL WR | |||||||||||||||||||||||
59 | 51 | Atlanta Falcons (from DEN) | DL, CB, C | 3 | 55 | 60 | Jared Wilson | C | Georgia | The Falcons are very short on picks this year, so they trade down 5 spots to pick up another in the 4th. They lost Drew Dalman in FA & draft Jared Wilson here to give Penix an elite center for the sophomore year of his development. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
60 | 52 | Seattle Seahawks (from PIT) | 4 | 40 | 61 | Carson Schwesinger | LB | UCLA | Schwesinger is an instinctive LB who led the FBS with 90 solo tackles last year. He's perfect fit for Seattle's HC Mike MacDonald, who was a former linebackers coach and will prioritize the position. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
61 | 53 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | CB | 3 | 71 | 34 | Shavon Revel | CB | East Carolina | The Bucs were tied for 2nd-worst in the league in passing yards allowed last year at 244 yds per game. Revel is an intriguing prospect at 6'3" and 195 lbs. He's a strong and fluid press CB, but is also coming off an ACL tear in September. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
62 | 54 | Green Bay Packers | WR | 4 | 46 | 52 | Jayden Higgins | WR | Iowa State | Higgins' 6'7" wingspan works to his advantage for contested catches. While he's not quite a WR1 alpha, he'll provide Jordan Love with another reliable option in the slot. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
63 | 55 | Los Angeles Chargers | WR, EDGE | 3 | 43 | 45 | Kyle Williams | WR | Washington St | It's going to be fun to watch Williams - who is a home-run-playmaker with 4.4 speed - catching deep throws from Justin Herbert and opening up the field for the Chargers' offense. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
64 | 56 | Buffalo Bills (from MIN) | DL, WR | 4 | 48 | 48 | Darius Alexander | DT | Toledo | Alexander is a strong DT who will primarily be a run defender for the Bills' 4-3 interior. (Note: The Bills suspended two DL - Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht - for six games in 2025 for violating their drug policy.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
65 | 57 | Carolina Panthers (from LAR) | WR | 3 | 50 | 75 | Jaylin Noel | WR | Iowa State | Noel is a speedy slot receiver with 4.39 40YD speed who can also be a punt returner. A reliable new target for Bryce Young's development. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
66 | 58 | Houston Texans | WR, DL | 4 | 98 | 50 | TJ Sanders | DT | South Carolina | Sanders is a strong 3-tech who will offer run support to free up the Texans' high-impact EDGE rushers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
67 | 59 | Baltimore Ravens | EDGE | 3 | 63 | 46 | Xavier Watts | S | Notre Dame | Watts reuniting with his Fighting Irish teammate Kyle Hamilton feels like a Ravens' secondary match made in heaven.

68 | 60 | Detroit Lions | 4 | 117 | 67 | Wyatt Milum | LT/LG | West Virginia | Graham Glasgow at LG was the one weak link in an otherwise very strong Lions' OL. Dan Campbell moves the massive but short-armed Milum inside to fix the issue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
69 | 61 | Washington Commanders | EDGE, RG | 3 | 81 | 80 | Marcus Mbow | RT/RG | Purdue | Commanders' RT Andrew Wylie was terribly ineffective and RG Sam Cosmi tore his ACL in the playoffs. Mbow was a RT who will likely move inside to guard. He is a great run blocker and developing as an anchor for pass protection. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
70 | 62 | Buffalo Bills | WR | 4 | 60 | 58 | Azareye'h Thomas | CB | Florida State | The Bills double-down on their secondary and draft Thomas as a fluid, lockdown CB. He slid down the board a bit and is a good value at #62. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
71 | 63 | Kansas City Chiefs | EDGE | 4 | 89 | 77 | Shemar Turner | DL | Texas A&M | Similar to "the other Shemar" who he lined up next to at A&M, Turner is strong and athletic and can play a variety of positions. Will most likely start as a DT, with potential to move to the EDGE. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
72 | 64 | Philadelphia Eagles | 4 | 59 | 65 | Kevin Winston | S | Penn State | The Eagles traded CJ Gardner-Johnson to HOU, making S a need to address in the draft. Winston has injury risk after a season-ending ACL tear in September, though he still ran a 4.5 40YD at the March Pro Day. PHI drafts him here for his leadership. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

75 | 65 | Pittsburgh Steelers (from NYG) | QB, RB | 3 | 75 | 172 | Tyler Shough | QB | Louisville | Seven year college career (he's now 27) with good vision of the field and technique. Could be ready to start sooner than later in the NFL. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
76 | 66 | KC Chiefs (from TEN) | 4 | 43 | 45 | Landon Jackson | EDGE | Arkansas | Jackson had a great showing at the Combine and has been moving up in the draft boards. Size and atheticism to fit the mold of an EDGE in Spags' 4-3. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
77 | 67 | Cleveland Browns | 4 | 88 | 64 | Charles Grant | LT | William & Mary | Jedrick Wills is injured, disgruntled, and still a FA. Grant has 34.5" arms, 10"+ hands, a wrestling background, and excellent character. He was solid in both pass coverage & run blocking at an FCS level of competition and could offer the much-needed blindside protection for Pickett, Watson, Milroe, or whoever happens to be playing QB for the Browns next year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
78 | 68 | LV Raiders | WR | 4 | 52 | 87 | Jack Bech | WR | TCU | Strong receiver with good hands who has the versatility to play outside or in the slot. Bech will give Geno a reliable option to consistently move the chains. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
79 | 69 | New England Patriots | 3 | 65 | 69 | Tre Harris | WR | Ole Miss | Deep-ball threat who will open up the field for Drake Maye and allow Stefon Diggs to operate more efficiently in the seam. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
80 | 70 | Jacksonville Jaguars | NT | 4 | 66 | 70 | Alfred Collins | NT | Texas | Even though this is a stretch based on the Big Board rankings, Collins is exactly the massive and powerful NT the Bills need to stuff the run. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
81 | 71 | Minnesota Vikings (from NO) | 4/3 | 54 | 99 | Nohl Williams | CB | California | First-team all-ACC who was highly-productive and had 7 INTs last year, though Williams is a non-factor in run tackling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
82 | 72 | Chicago Bears | 4 | 76 | 62 | Andrew Mukuba | S | Texas | Good instincts and athleticism, with great character and awareness. Fun fact: Born in Zimbabwe and moved to the US at 9 years old. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
83 | 73 | New York Jets | WR | 4 | 121 | 72 | Elic Ayomanor | WR | Stanford | Tall and athletic with wide-arms and a 4.44 40YD, Elic has incredible potential but needs the right system to develop. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
84 | 74 | Carolina Panthers | TE | 3 | 56 | 79 | Harold Fannin Jr | TE | Bowling Green | Sure hands and highly-productive, Fannin led FBS TEs with 117 receptions and 1,555 yards and also had 10 TDs. He'll be another dependable receiving option for Bryce Young in his development. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
85 | 75 | San Francisco 49ers | CB, LB | 4 | 78 | 63 | Darien Porter | CB | Iowa State | Porter is a tall (6'3"), fast (4.3 40YD), and athletic (2nd at combine) former WR who is best in zone coverage but still relatively inexperienced at playing CB. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
86 | 76 | Dallas Cowboys | RG | 4 | 61 | 59 | Miles Frazier | RG | LSU | 320 lb right guard who will fill the giant shoes of the recently-retired Zack Martin | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
87 | 77 | New England Patriots | 3 | 51 | 55 | Elijah Arroyo | TE | Miami | A safety net across the middle of the field. Arroyo is more of a route runner than a blocker, adding another receiving option for Maye. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
88 | 78 | Arizona Cardinals | RT | 4 | 72 | 73 | Ozzy Trapilo | RT | Boston College | Jonah Williams is banged up and on a contract year. Ozzy not only has a rock star's name, but he also comes from an NFL family. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
89 | 79 | Houston Texans | WR | 4 | 93 | 76 | Jalen Royals | WR | Utah State | Possession receiver with good speed and decent route running. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
90 | 80 | Indianapolis Colts | EDGE | 4 | 69 | 68 | Oluwafemi Oladejo | EDGE | UCLA | Strong and athletic EDGE rusher who could be a reliable starter after some time to develop. Olu will be an early starter, pairing with Laiatu Latu on the EDGE to rebuild the Colts' 28th-ranked pass rush. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
91 | 81 | Cincinnati Bengals | CB | 4 | 79 | 66 | Jacob Parrish | CB | Kansas St | Athletic and fast, has potential to be a year-one starter in the Bengals struggling secondary. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
92 | 82 | Wash Commanders (from SEA) | EDGE | 3 | 110 | 84 | Princely Umanmielen | EDGE | Ole Miss | Princely was first team all-SEC; he's a strong and athletic EDGE rusher who primarily is a pass rusher but struggles against the run. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
93 | 83 | Pittsburgh Steelers | RB | 3 | 68 | 68 | Dylan Sampson | RB | Tennessee | Compact, powerful RB who was first-team all SEC and had 22 rushing TDs last year.

94 | 84 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 3 | 109 | 100 | Demetrius Knight | ILB | South Carolina | Aggressive off-ball LB who will offer plenty of run support and will the shoes of Lavonte David after he retires. Fun fact: he's a distant cousin of Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
95 | 85 | Denver Broncos | 3 | N/R | 103 | Kyle Kennard | EDGE | South Carolina | Kennard was first-team All-SEC and a finalist for the Lombari Award last year, yet he's also inconsistent in his production. He'll add depth to the already-intimidating Broncos front 7. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
96 | 86 | Los Angeles Chargers | 3 | 87 | 78 | Bradyn Swinson | EDGE | LSU | An athletic pass rusher in a 3-4 scheme, Swinson was second-team All SEC and led the Tigers with 13 tackles for aloss. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
97 | 87 | Green Bay Packers | CB, DT | 4 | 77 | 83 | Joshua Farmer | DT | Florida State | Josh Farmer is a 3-tech with long arms who could help stuff the run in the Packers front line. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
98 | 88 | Jacksonville Jaguars | 4 | 73 | 86 | Tory Horton | WR | Colorado St | Two-time team captain who is a good route runner and has strong hands. He'll line up in the slot and free up BTJ on the outside. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
99 | 89 | Houston Texans | 4 | 84 | 107 | Emery Jones | RT | LSU | Texans' RT Blake Fisher struggled last year and Trent Brown is often injured. Jones is consistent and strong, but will require better technique to win the starting job. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
100 | 90 | LA Rams | 3 | 126 | 169 | Denzel Burke | CB | Ohio State | Burke is a four-year starter who was selected first-team All Big 10 twice. He has good athleticism, poor instincts, and can play in several coverage types. |
