1.1 | Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward, Miami 

Mock 1.0 Selection: ED Abdul Carter 

New GM Mike Borganzi wastes no time replacing Will Levis. 

1.2 | Cleveland Browns: CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado 

Mock 1.0 Selection: QB Cam Ward 

Deshaun Watson’s contract is the worst in football, but I’d expect the Browns to try and make it work for the time being. They select the best player in the class. 

1.3 | New York Giants: ED Abdul Carter, Penn State 

Mock 1.0 Selection: QB Shedeur Sanders 

Russell Wilson alleviates the immediate need for a QB, so the Giants go BPA. 

1.4 | New England Patriots: OT Will Campbell, LSU 

Mock 1.0 Selection: CB/WR Travis Hunter 

The Patriots find their long-term answer at left tackle. 

1.5 | Jacksonville Jaguars: DT Mason Graham, Michigan 

Mock 1.0 Selection: DT Mason Graham 

The Jags take the best player on their board while filling a need. 

1.6 | Las Vegas Raiders: RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State 

Mock 1.0 Selection: RB Ashton Jeanty 

Armand Membou could be the pick here, but Pete Carroll finds his new Marshawn Lynch. 

1.7 | New York Jets: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State 

Mock 1.0 Selection: OL Will Campbell 

Justin Fields can evade pass rushers, so the Jets opt for a weapon rather than protection for their new signal caller. 

1.8 | Pittsburgh Steelers (Trade with CAR) *: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

Mock 1.0 Selection: ED Mykel Williams (Panthers) 

The Steelers send pick No. 20, a 2026 first rounder, a third rounder and a future second to jump the Saints for their QB of the future. 

1.9 | New Orleans Saints: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona 

Mock 1.0 Selection: WR Teteiroa McMillan 

McMillan, Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed is an exciting complimentary trio for Derek Carr to work with. 

1.10 | Chicago Bears: OT Armand Membou, Missouri 

Mock 1.0 Selection: OL Kelvin Banks 

Ben Johnson knows the importance of the offensive line, and he lands a spectacular athlete in Membou. 

1.11 | San Francisco 49ers: OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State 

Mock 1.0 Selection: OT Josh Simmons 

An upgrade on the offensive line and a long-term Trent Williams replacement. 

1.12 | Dallas Cowboys: WR Michael Golden, Texas 

Mock 1.0 Selection: G Tyler Booker 

A compliment for CeeDee Lamb and another weapon for Dak Prescott to boost the Dallas offense. 

1.13 | Miami Dolphins: SAF Malaki Starks, Georgia 

Mock 1.0 Selection: SAF Malaki Starks 

A Jevon Holland replacement plus BPA is a perfect recipe for a great Miami draft pick. 

1.14 | Indianapolis Colts: ED/LB Jalon Walker, Georgia 

Mock 1.0 Selection: TE Tyler Warren 

Walker across Laiatu Latu would be a fierce duo for years to come. 

1.15 | Atlanta Falcons: ED Mike Green, Marshall 

Mock 1.0 Selection: ED Mike Green 

The Falcons fill their void at edge rusher. 

1.16 | Arizona Cardinals: DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss 

Mock 1.0 Selection: LB/ED Jalon Walker

The Cardinals add an athletic interior disruptor to pair with 2024 first rounder Darius Robinson. 

1.17 | Cincinnati Bengals: CB Will Johnson, Michigan 

Mock 1.0 Selection: CB Will Johnson 

I love Will Johnson, but it’s hard to find a spot for him before 17. Cincinnati gets a steal. 

1.18 | Seattle Seahawks: OL Grey Zabel, North Dakota State 

Mock 1.0 Selection: DT Kenneth Grant 

Seattle is desperate for interior offensive line help, and Zabel can play all three spots. 

1.19 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers: ED Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College 

Mock 1.0 Selection: LB Jihaad Campbell 

Another pass rusher to complement Yaya Diaby and Chris Braswell. 

1.20 | Denver Broncos: RB Omarion Hampton, North Carolina 

Mock 1.0 Selection: WR Luther Burden III 

Running back is an obvious hole they fill through Hampton. 

1.21 | Carolina Panthers (Trade with PIT) *: DB Jahdae Barron, Texas 

Mock 1.0 Selection: WR Michael Golden (Steelers) 

The Panthers stockpile picks and still add a versatile corner opposite Jaycee Horn. 

1.22 | L.A. Chargers: TE Colston Loveland, Michigan 

Mock 1.0 Selection: TE Colston Loveland 

Harbaugh brings one of his own to the NFL and fills a need for a heavy run offense. 

1.23 | Houston Texans (Trade with GB) ^: OT Kelvin Banks, Texas 

Mock 1.0 Selection: DB Jahdae Barron 

After trading Laremy Tunsil, the Texans needed a new blindside protector for C.J. Stroud. They trade up two spots to secure Banks’s services. 

1.24 | Minnesota Vikings: LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama 

Mock 1.0 Selection: RB Omarion Hampton 

The Vikings continue to add to an elite defense. 

1.25 | Green Bay Packers (Trade with HOU) ^: DL Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M 

Mock 1.0 Selection: OL Armand Membou (Texans) 

Shemar Stewart is a boom or bust prospect, and a risk Matt LeFleur and company have the security to take. 

1.26 | L.A. Rams: QB Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss 

Mock 1.0 Selection: WR Emeka Egbuka 

The Rams stay at 26 and still find their long-term Matthew Stafford replacement.  

1.27 | Baltimore Ravens: ED James Pearce Jr., Tennessee 

Mock 1.0 Selection: CB Benjamin Morrison 

Athleticism is a trend among Ravens edge defenders, and Pearce has that in droves. 

1.28 | Detroit Lions: G Tyler Booker, Alabama 

Mock 1.0 Selection: OL Donovan Jackson 

The Lions continue to move forward with their run heavy scheme by adding a top-class guard.

1.29 | Washington Commanders: ED Mykel Williams, Georgia 

Mock 1.0 Selection: ED James Pearce Jr. 

Williams is another boom or bust prospect, a risk Adam Peters and Dan Quinn should have no issue taking. 

1.30 | Buffalo Bills: DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan

Mock 1.0 Selection: DT Derrick Harmon 

Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi are both suspended, and the defensive line needs help anyway. Grant is a top run stopping option. 

1.31 | Kansas City Chiefs: OT Josh Conerly Jr., Oregon 

Mock 1.0 Selection: DT Walter Nolen 

Conerly is a great pass protector, something the Chiefs do a lot of. 

1.32 | Philadelphia Eagles: WR Luther Burden III, Missouri 

Mock 1.0 Selection: DL Shemar Stewart 

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith get a third playmaker to further improve the best team in football.
