1. Tennessee Titans – (3-14)
Cameron Ward QB | Miami (FL)
The Titans’ quarterback position is one of the biggest question marks heading into next season, and Cameron Ward is the type of talent that could be a game-changer for them. After a standout season at Miami, Ward has the mobility and arm strength to thrive in an NFL offense. With the Titans needing a fresh face under center, Ward brings the high ceiling they desperately need to lead them into the future.
2. Cleveland Browns – (3-14)
Shedeur Sanders QB | Colorado
The Browns are in desperate need of stability at quarterback after a rocky start to Deshaun Watson’s time in Cleveland. Enter Shedeur Sanders, a poised and talented signal-caller who shined in the Pac-12 with Colorado. The son of Deion Sanders, Shedeur has the tools to lead an NFL offense, with a strong arm, football IQ, and leadership qualities. Bringing him in would offer Cleveland the future they’ve been searching for under center.
3. New York Giants – (3-14)
Travis Hunter CB | Colorado
The Giants’ defense has been solid, but they could use a true shutdown corner. Enter Travis Hunter, who isn’t just a cornerback; he’s a two-way threat. While his skills as a lockdown corner are undeniable, Hunter also excels as a wide receiver. This versatility makes him a perfect fit for the Giants, who can utilize him to bolster their defense and add another dimension to their offense. Hunter is a playmaker who can change the game on either side of the ball, and the Giants would be lucky to add him to their roster.
4. New England Patriots – (4-13)
Abdul Carter EDGE | Penn State
The Patriots’ defense has always been their bread and butter, but they’ve been lacking a true edge rusher who can take over games. Abdul Carter out of Penn State is exactly what Bill Belichick needs—an explosive, relentless pass rusher who can disrupt quarterbacks and make plays all over the field. Adding Carter would give the Patriots’ defense that extra spark they need to stay competitive in a stacked AFC East.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – (4-13)
Mason Graham DL | Michigan
The Jaguars are building something special around Trevor Lawrence, but a solid defense is key to going deep in the playoffs. Mason Graham, the powerful defensive lineman from Michigan, is a plug-and-play starter who can contribute immediately to Jacksonville’s defensive front. He has the ability to pressure the quarterback and disrupt plays in the backfield, and with the Jags looking to take the next step in the AFC, Graham will be a critical piece in their long-term success.
6. Las Vegas Raiders – (4-13)
Ashton Jeanty RB | Boise State
The Raiders need to find more consistency on offense, and Ashton Jeanty is the type of back who can bring a spark to their rushing attack. Jeanty’s speed, vision, and ability to catch out of the backfield make him a versatile weapon that can complement their passing game. With a new coaching staff looking to revamp the offense, Jeanty provides a fresh playmaking option to help unlock the full potential of Las Vegas’ offense.
7. New York Jets – (5-12)
Armand Membou OT | Missouri
The Jets have a solid foundation, but protecting Zach Wilson (or any future QB) remains a priority. Membou, a massive offensive tackle from Missouri, brings both power and technical skills to the line. As the Jets try to get their offense firing on all cylinders, adding a top-tier tackle is a crucial step in giving Wilson the protection he needs to take the next step in his development.
8. Carolina Panthers – (5-12)
Jalon Walker EDGE | Georgia
The Panthers have shown promise on defense, but they could use a dominant edge rusher to make their pass rush more lethal. Jalon Walker from Georgia is a high-energy player who can get after the quarterback and disrupt plays behind the line of scrimmage. Walker’s relentless motor and pass-rush ability make him an ideal fit for the Panthers, who need to keep improving their defense as they build a playoff-contending roster.
9. New Orleans Saints – (5-12)
Will Campbell OT | LSU
With Derek Carr now at the helm, the Saints are looking to build around him, and that starts with solidifying the offensive line. Will Campbell from LSU is a massive, skilled tackle who can step in and immediately improve the protection for Carr. The Saints need stability up front to keep their offense moving, and Campbell could be a cornerstone for their offensive line for years to come.
10. Chicago Bears – (5-12)
Kelvin Banks OT | Texas
Justin Fields needs more protection, and Kelvin Banks is the kind of player who can provide it. Banks is one of the top tackle prospects in this draft, with elite skills as a pass protector and a strong run blocker. With the Bears in a full rebuild mode, giving Fields the tools to succeed is key, and Banks would be a foundational piece to help get the offense on track.
11. San Francisco 49ers – (6-11)
Mykel Williams EDGE | Georgia
The 49ers are already stacked on defense, but adding another elite pass rusher in Mykel Williams would take their front seven to another level. Williams has an incredible combination of power and speed off the edge, and he can make an immediate impact in their deep defensive rotation. As the NFC West continues to get tougher, San Francisco can’t afford to take a step back defensively, and Williams helps them stay at the top of the division.
12. Dallas Cowboys – (7-10)
Tetairoa McMillan WR | Arizona
Dallas has CeeDee Lamb as their number one target, but adding another dynamic weapon to their receiving corps would take their offense to the next level. McMillan is a versatile wideout who can stretch the field and make plays after the catch. Pairing him with Lamb gives Dak Prescott a dangerous one-two punch in the passing game, and McMillan’s addition could make the Cowboys’ offense nearly impossible to stop.
13. Miami Dolphins – (8-9)
Jahdae Barron CB | Texas
Miami’s offense is loaded, but their defense still has some question marks, especially in the secondary. Jahdae Barron is a physical cornerback with great ball skills and a knack for making plays. Adding Barron to the Dolphins’ defense would give them the boost they need to keep pace in the AFC East, especially when facing high-powered offenses like Buffalo and New England.
14. Indianapolis Colts – (8-9)
Colston Loveland TE | Michigan
The Colts need weapons for their quarterback, and Colston Loveland provides them with a reliable target. Loveland has excellent hands and can create mismatches in the passing game. As Indianapolis looks to develop its next QB, having a security blanket in the form of a talented tight end is essential, and Loveland is a perfect fit.
15. Atlanta Falcons – (8-9)
Shemar Stewart EDGE | Texas A&M
The Falcons’ defense has some solid pieces, but they need a true difference-maker up front. Shemar Stewart is a dynamic pass rusher who can create havoc in the backfield. His ability to disrupt plays will give the Falcons’ defense the boost it needs to stay competitive in a wide-open NFC South.
16. Arizona Cardinals – (8-9)
Jihaad Campbell LB | Alabama
The Cardinals are rebuilding, and improving the linebacker position is a priority. Jihaad Campbell from Alabama is a versatile, high-energy linebacker who excels against the run and in pass coverage. With the Cardinals looking to turn things around, adding Campbell to their defense provides them with a young leader who can anchor the middle of their defense.
17. Cincinnati Bengals – (9-8)
Mike Green EDGE | Marshall
Cincinnati’s offense is elite, but their defense needs more juice on the edge. Mike Green from Marshall is a quick and powerful pass rusher who can help generate pressure on quarterbacks and create turnovers. The Bengals need to stay competitive in the AFC, and Green could be a game-changer for their defense.
18. Seattle Seahawks – (10-7)
Tyler Warren TE | Penn State
Seattle has been building a balanced offense, but adding a tight end like Tyler Warren could provide another weapon for Geno Smith. Warren is a dynamic pass-catching tight end who can line up all over the field, creating mismatches for opposing defenses. As the Seahawks look to develop further, Warren could become a key piece of their passing game.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – (10-7)
Will Johnson CB | Michigan
The Bucs need help in the secondary, especially with the loss of key defensive pieces. Will Johnson from Michigan is a physical, smart cornerback with excellent coverage skills. Adding him would give Tampa Bay a reliable playmaker who can cover top receivers and give the defense more stability.
20. Denver Broncos – (10-7)
Omarion Hampton RB | North Carolina
The Broncos have been searching for a consistent running back, and Omarion Hampton could be the answer. Hampton is a powerful back with good vision, able to wear down defenses and catch passes out of the backfield. With Russell Wilson needing more help in the run game, Hampton would add balance to the offense and provide a much-needed spark.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers – (10-7)
Jaxson Dart QB | Mississippi
While Kenny Pickett showed flashes in his rookie season, adding competition at quarterback could help push the Steelers forward. Jaxson Dart has the tools to develop into a starting NFL quarterback, with a strong arm and mobility. He could be a developmental option for Pittsburgh, and with the right coaching, Dart could be the future of the franchise.
22. Los Angeles Chargers – (11-6)
Matthew Golden WR | Houston
The Chargers already have one of the best receivers in the game in Keenan Allen, but adding another dynamic weapon in Matthew Golden makes their offense even more dangerous. Golden is a fast, athletic receiver who can stretch the field and create big plays. Pairing him with Mike Williams and Allen gives Justin Herbert a loaded receiving corps.
23. Green Bay Packers – (11-6)
Derrick Harmon DL | Oregon
Green Bay has been looking to improve their defense, and Derrick Harmon would be a great fit on the defensive line. He has the strength and quickness to disrupt plays in the backfield and help the Packers’ defense continue to improve. As they transition into a new era with Jordan Love under center, strengthening the defense is key for keeping them competitive.
24. Minnesota Vikings – 14-3
Nick Emmanwori S | South Carolina
Minnesota’s defense has been inconsistent, and adding a safety like Nick Emmanwori would help shore up their secondary. Emmanwori is a playmaking safety who can cover ground quickly and create turnovers. His addition would make Minnesota’s defense more complete as they continue to push toward a Super Bowl.
25. Houston Texans – (10-7)
Josh Simmons OT | Ohio State
With the Texans likely selecting a quarterback early, ensuring they have solid protection up front is crucial. Josh Simmons is a powerful tackle with elite skills in both pass protection and the run game. His presence would help create a stable environment for Houston’s new quarterback to thrive and grow into the franchise leader they need.
26. Los Angeles Rams – (10-7)
Tyler Booker IOL | Alabama
The Rams need to get their offensive line back to full strength, and Tyler Booker is the perfect fit. He’s a dominant force in the trenches who can help solidify both the run game and pass protection. With Matthew Stafford not getting any younger, Booker provides the protection Stafford needs to maintain his level of play.
27. Baltimore Ravens – (12-5)
James Pearce Jr. EDGE | Tennessee
The Ravens have always built their defense around pressure, and James Pearce Jr. can bring that edge rusher talent they’re missing. Pearce has a high motor and a relentless attitude that would fit perfectly in Baltimore’s defense. Adding him to the front seven would make them even more dangerous and help keep the AFC North competitive.
28. Detroit Lions – (15-2)
Kenneth Grant DL | Michigan
The Lions have one of the most promising young teams in the league, and their defense is starting to turn a corner. Kenneth Grant is a powerhouse in the middle of the line, capable of both stopping the run and generating pressure on the quarterback. Grant’s strength and technique will help elevate the Lions’ defense to a level where they can compete for a playoff spot.
29. Washington Commanders – (12-5)
Maxwell Hairston CB | Kentucky
Washington’s defense has been solid, but their secondary needs help, especially at cornerback. Maxwell Hairston has the skills to become a lockdown corner and would immediately upgrade their defensive backfield. Adding him would make Washington’s defense more complete as they aim for a playoff push in the NFC East.
30. Buffalo Bills – (13-4)
Walter Nolen DL | Mississippi
The Bills have a high-powered offense, but their defense could use another elite pass rusher. Walter Nolen is a disruptive force on the interior, capable of getting to the quarterback and creating pressure up the middle. With the AFC getting more competitive, adding Nolen would help keep Buffalo’s defense at an elite level, complementing their offensive firepower.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – (15-2)
Grey Zabeli OL | North Dakota State
The Chiefs continue to thrive offensively, but keeping Patrick Mahomes protected is always a priority. Grey Zabeli is an ideal addition to their offensive line, offering versatility and the strength to keep Mahomes upright. As Kansas City looks to remain at the top, protecting their MVP quarterback is key.
32. Philadelphia Eagles – (14-3)
Donovan Ezeiruaku EDGE | Boston College
The Eagles are a complete team, but adding another edge rusher like Donovan Ezeiruaku could make them even more dangerous. Ezeiruaku has a combination of strength and speed off the edge that would complement Philly’s existing pass rush. With the NFC East becoming more competitive, keeping their defense stacked will be key to sustaining their elite status.
