This pick makes little sense to mebut it also seems likelyThe Giants have invested too much time and energy into Sanders this offseason for it to be some kind of head fakeThat saidita GM coach combo that needs to win now and has already added Russell Wilson and Jameis Winstonso drafting a rookie QB goes against that.
Round 1 Pick 4
Abdul Carter EDGE
Penn State Jr 63 250 lbs

Any scenario that ends with either Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter falling to four would be a gift to the Patriotswho will hardly be able to contain their excitement when Carter falls into their lap here.

Outside of Cam Ward to the TitansI don know if therebeen another pick mocked as often as Graham to the Jaguars this offseasonKolton Miller is an excellent option on the left sidebut Campbell would be a massive upgrade at right tackleJets

Membou draws polarizing reports from scoutsbut I see a ton of potential upside hereand in a class that doesn have any grand slam tackle prospectsIm going to bet on potential more than floorespecially in the top 10.
Round 1 Pick 8
Jalon Walker EDGE
Georgia Jr 61 243 lbs
Projected Team
Carolina
PROSPECT RNK
9th
POSITION RNK
2nd
The Panthers have hinted theyd be willing to trade downand perhaps somebody moves up to grab Ashton Jeanty at this pointHow willing teams will be to move up to draft a running back in this class is a big questionthoughso Carolina stands pat and takes one the most interesting pass rush prospect in the class.
Round 1 Pick 9
Mykel Williams EDGE
Georgia Jr 65 260 lbs

New Orleans
PROSPECT RNK
25th
POSITION RNK
6th
The buzz lately has New Orleans interested in taking a quarterbackbut with Ward and Sanders gonethere isn a quarterback who makes sense this highTheyve put a lot of work into their offensive linebut Jeanty could be the game-changing chess piece who truly unlocks the offense.

The Niners could address the defensive line here toobut Banks makes a lot of senseHe could begin his career at right tackle before eventually sliding over to the left side when Trent Williams hangs up his cleats.

Miami has 10 picks in this draft and should probably use at least three of them on the defensive line2 DT in this class behind Graham and would be a steal here.

With or without Trey Hendricksonthe Bengals need additional help in the pass rushand they get it with GreenBooker is the best guard in the classand could prove to be a leader of this team on offense quickly.

Jihaad Campbell can play in a 4-3 but I believe hebetter suited in a 3-4and Todd Bowles could be the perfect coach to tap into his potential as a game-wrecker.

Thought about getting nuts and having the Broncos trade up for Jeantybut why do that if Omarion Hampton is likely to be available at 20As much as I love Jeanty -and I doa lot -itnot out of question that Hampton could have the better career.

Considered going with Matthew Golden herebut Loveland is a better fit for what Jim Harbaugh teams typically do on offenseLadd McConkey can get open on every snapjust most of them.

Amos is a corner whose stock has risen considerably during the draft process and should find a home somewhere in the late firstGreen Bay would make a lot of sense.
Round 1 Pick 24
Nick Emmanwori S
South Carolina Jr 63 220 lbs
Projected Team
Minnesota
PROSPECT RNK
20th
POSITION RNK
2nd
The Vikings only have four picks in the draft and are an obvious trade down candidatebut I don see anybody dying to move up in this spotSo the Vikings hold onto their pick and take Emmanworiwho still needs some polishbut has the size and athleticism to be used in a lot of different ways.
Round 1 Pick 25
Donovan Jackson IOL

Based on everything the Texans have done latelyitd be a real surprise to see them go any other direction but offensive line hereI love Donovan Jacksonas he showed the ability to play left tackle this season tooI believe guard is his best futurebut the Texans can afford to try him in multiple spots if theyd like.
Round 1 Pick 26
Josh Simmons OT
Ohio State Sr 65 317 lbs

L.AIf forced to pick on whatavailable hereI can see somebody like Grey Zabel being the pickbut Kenneth Grantathleticism and explosiveness prove too much to pass up.

The Lions are in the market for a guardand while Conerlya tackleI can see a scenario in which the Lions take Conerlyplay him at guardand then move him to tackle laterOr maybe he just sticks at guard.

Going after a QB at nine didn make sense for the Saintsbut trading back into the end of the first round to get one wouldThe Saints get Dart whom they could groom for a year behind Derek Carr or start if Carr isn healthy while the Commanders add picks they only have five.
