The Raiders would probably love this scenario playing out, landing Sanders with the No. 1 pick. And it seems like Sanders would love to start his career in Las Vegas.

The Giants have no choice but to go with a quarterback with this selection, and Ward has demonstrated steady growth as a signal-caller in his long collegiate career.

What a boon this would be for the Patriots, landing Hunter at No. 3 overall to give the offense a dynamic receiving option who doubles as a sticky, instinctive cornerback.

The Jaguars did extend Tyson Campbell before the season, but this is a defense that needs more talented defensive backs. Johnson has looked like a top-10 type since his early days at Michigan.

Back-to-back first-round receivers for Bryce Young. McMillan is a Tee Higgins type with ridiculous above-the-rim ball skills. Plus, he’s sneaky impressive after the catch.

This may seem too early for a safety, yet Starks has looked NFL-ready for two full seasons now. If he tests as well as expected, it wouldn’t be nuts for the Titans to select him here.

This would be reasonably bold from the Browns, no doubt, as Milroe isn’t close to being a finished product. However, he did demonstrate legitimate progression in his game in each of the last two seasons and has All-Pro upside.

The Jets make the prudent decision to select Banks to build the offensive line with more youthful talent.

There’s some Micah Parsons to Carter’s game, as he can range toward the sideline on run plays and win around the edge with fierceness at the point of attack or bending/dipping around offensive tackles.

With plenty of uncertainty surrounding the football-playing future of Chris Olave given his vast concussion history, the Saints have to add another high-caliber receiving talent to the offense.

The Dolphins know Terron Armstead doesn’t have years and years left in his NFL career. Milum looks like an NFL blocker today and, with him and 2024 second-round pick Patrick Paul, they’d have their tackles of the future on offense.

While the 2024 season wasn’t as dynamic as expected from Burden, he pieced together three-straight high-caliber seasons as the clear No. 1 receiver for the Tigers offense in the SEC.

The Bengals desperately need more pass-rushing juice beyond Trey Hendrickson. Scourton can play inside and out and win on three downs thanks to his advanced skill set of hand work and power.

No way Jerry Jones will be able to resist selecting Jeanty here, even though Rico Dowdle has been a formidable threat on the ground these last few games.

Pearce looks like a top-15 pick, and the 49ers make him one here. He’s long, explosive, deceptively powerful and put together two magnificent seasons in the SEC. He’s the running mate Nick Bosa needs.

The Falcons stay close to home with this selection, and while Williams never improved his efficiency at Georgia, he is arguably the biggest physical freak on the defensive front in this class.

Harmon has been a colossal disruptor on the Oregon defense this season. Yes, the Cardinals need outside pass-rush help. They also could use more push from the interior.

Overton is an oversized edge rusher who burst onto the scene this year at Alabama. He’d give the Seahawks a true three-down defensive end to what has become a formidable front.

Umanmielen is a chiseled but reasonably explosive and bendy rusher who’d be a welcomed addition to the Chargers group that has leaned on veterans Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa for a while now.

The Buccaneers get a do-everything front seven player who can boost the pass rush and help the off-ball linebacker group play with more speed to the football.

The Rams are a team you can typically count on to make a surprise selection early. Despite being a team that loves utilizing three-receiver sets as much as anyone, Los Angeles picks a high-upside receiving tight end for Matthew Stafford.

The Commanders get a long-term answer at left tackle for Jayden Daniels.

This would be the first time the first round featured two tight ends since 2019, and Warren would provide Bo Nix with a serious receiving threat down the seam.

Graham and Nnamdi Madubuike would be quite the ferocious interior tandem on Baltimore’s defensive front.

Watch a Texans game, and you’ll first notice how shoddy the interior of the offensive line is. Booker is the best pure offensive guard in this class.

A cornerback partner for Joey Porter Jr. in Pittsburgh. Barron has excelled on an island this season at Texas.

The Packers could be enticed by the long-term upside of the lengthy and athletic Revel from East Carolina.

Sanders has been a havoc-wreaking interior player for South Carolina this season and has an NFL-ready frame.

The Bills plan for the future at edge rusher with Gillotte, who’s been borderline unblockable around the corner the past two seasons for the Cardinals.

Green was a ridiculous producer the past two seasons at Marshall, especially in 2024, when he tallied 17 sacks and 23 tackles for loss. The Eagles continue to add to their defensive line, as usual.

The Lions add more beef to the interior of their defensive front with the surging Nolen, who was tremendous inside at Ole Miss in 2024.

At his size, with his length and athletic flashes, Simmons has All-Pro upside, and the Chiefs have had an offensive tackle problem for a while now.
