My NFL Mock Draft
The NFL Draft season brings us into a period of content overload in the sports calendar, marking one of the biggest days of the NFL offseason—and some argue, the biggest day of the football season. Now, it's time for my annual mock draft. If you're a football fan, you've likely encountered countless mock drafts from prominent sports outlets. However, I only produce one. Is mine better or more informed than the others? Probably not, but I take my time tailoring my predictions rather than exhausting myself with outlandish speculation and information inundation.
NFL teams dedicate years of scouting, research, and logistics to preparing for this three-day draft process, where one pick can make the difference between becoming a Super Bowl contender and being stuck in a rebuilding phase. The draft is a crucial element of roster construction and represents a primary asset that has built America: "inexpensive labor." When teams can find high-impact position players at a low cost through the draft, it helps them accelerate their path to contention.
Meanwhile, teams like the Giants and Raiders often find themselves in a rut, while even franchises like the Jets, which have drafted well at edge and corner positions, frequently miss on high-leverage positions such as quarterback and offensive line—leading to years of futility.
The Raiders earned the number one pick in the draft, and all signs point to Indiana quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner, and national champion Fernando Mendoza landing with the Las Vegas franchise. The Raiders have once again set the standard for both organizational fulfillment and ineptitude, prompting league officials to discuss the potential removal of majority owner Mark Davis.
In my mock draft, I dont project trades because I aim to create the most "grounded" mock possible. Predicting trades requires a level of calculation that often becomes moot once the draft happens. I make my picks based on my assessment of each team's roster needs, my evaluation of players, and the talent available, And The Guidance Of Other mocks. The NFL Draft season marks a significant event in the sports calendar, often hailed as the biggest day of the offseason. During this time, many mock drafts emerge from various outlets, but I only produce one. While mine may not be the best, I tailor my predictions carefully.
NFL teams invest years into scouting to prepare for this crucial three-day event, where a single pick can determine whether a team becomes a Super Bowl contender or remains in rebuild mode. The draft is essential for roster construction and represents a key asset: “inexpensive labor.” Finding high-impact players at low costs can accelerate a team's path to success.
Teams like the Giants and Raiders struggle, while others like the Jets often miss on critical positions like quarterback and offensive line. Recently, the Raiders secured the number one pick, with Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza expected to join them. This has raised discussions among league officials about the future of majority owner Mark Davis.
My mock draft includes trade projections, aiming for a grounded approach. I base my picks on each team’s roster needs and my evaluation of available talent.
1)Las Vegas Raiders, Pick One: Fernando Mendoza, Quarterback, Indiana--
Last season, the Raiders Threw A Wrench Into The Drafting Highly Toutred Running Back Ashton Jeanty with the sixth-overall pick to help with their wayward rushing attack. The Raiders Made The Trade For Seahawks reclamation quarterback Geno Smith, hoping The Presence Of A Stable, Dependable Quarterback would bring about an offensive uprising. None Of Those Raider Moves Worked as Hypothesized. Jeanty had moments, but he alone couldn’t Overcome The Raiders' inverted style of roster construction, and offense fell hapless. The Raiders, with the number one pick, turn to Indiana Quarterback Fernando Mendoza With The Number One Pick To Build A New Offense Around Under New Head Coach Klint Kubiak. Mendoza Stands At 6’5 225-235 lbs, with a capable arm and solid enough athleticism to threaten Defenses As A Rusher And A Scrambler. Scouts Raved About Mendoza’s Skill and Touch On Outside The Numbers—The Harder Throws Furthest Away From The Pocket—Throws As Well As His Quick Release. Still, He’s Less Than A Complete Prospect as Questions About His Processing(Progressions) and The RPO Simple Read Offense He Ran At Indiana.
2)New York Jets—
The Jets failed to lose enough games to secure the number one pick, so the lone top 10 Quarterback In The Draft. Still, They Stand In Perfect Trade Back Position With Lots Of Needs On The Roster, but none of the players available at two fit the billing at number two overall. The Jets Have Found Success Drafting Defensive Players, and the defense needs an edge. Enter Arvell Reese, the “Hybrid” pass rusher from Ohio State. Not The Technical Bosa Type We’ve Come To Associate With The Buckeyes, Or Even A Freakishly Athletic Chase Young, Because He’s Not Yet A “Pure” passer; instead, Reese plays more of a “Hybrid” Linebacker Role At Ohio State. He’s Expected To Move To Full Time Rusher As He Moves To Pro After splitting Time In Coverage. He’s Moves Instinctual Long The Offensive Line Rather Than Playing With Technical Clubs, And Swipes Relies On His Physical Tools Like Length and Explosion and Scheme to root his way by offensive linemen. Reeese didn’t Exactly Dominate In Coverage, 100.9 Passer Rating Generated When Targeted and 23 Total Pressures But The Upside As An Elite Pass Rusher Prevails. “sky-high ceiling but an extremely high floor”(The Athletic).
3)Arizona Cardinals, Francis Marino’s, Offensive Tackle, Miami—
I saw Linebacker Sonny Styles Mocked To The Cardinals At Third Overall, and while any defense could use a linebacker with his measurables, Testing. The Last Time The Cardinals drafted a linebacker ten years ago, that is, Isaiah Simmons, the project failed. Reports Have Surfaced Mentioning Jeremiah Love as a potential plug-in at three, and While Any Team would welcome a versatile running back, cheating off the Raiders team-building test won't pass the Cardinals Back Into Contention. The Cardinals' offensive line ranked 29th in PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating (82.3), And Surrendered 236 pressures In The Season. Left Tackle and Former Sixth Overall Pick Paris Johnson Made The Leap Into a full-time bookend blocker. However, the Cards Still Had Jonah Williams holding down the right side, so they brought in the best tackle available on the board, Francis Mauigoa, Out Of Miami. A three-year starter at right tackle For The Hurricanes, Mauigoa Lacks Ideal Arm Length To The Left But He’s A Powerful Run Blocker at 6’6 359 lbs, with a Strong Lower Base and Good Fluid athleticism To Move Up Field. Francis Surrendered Just Two Sacks Last Season and A 3.9% pressure rate.
4)Tennessee Titans, David Bailey, Edge rusher, Texas Tech—
Jeremiyah Love, The Running Back From Notre Dame, Has Had His Name Mocked Here At Four frequently, but a team like the Titans needs to Reinforce Its Core Contender-Building Positions. The Titans made a few moves along the edge this offseason, signing former Bronco John Franklin-Meyers and Acquiring Jets Edge Jermaine Johnson in a trade. Johnson comes to Tennessee on a one-year deal (a fifth-year option), Extension Eligible, coming off a “Down” Year, with a sordid Injury History and Some Fair Production In Four Years. Franklin-Meyers Serves Better As A Sidekick Opposite A Star, Enter Texas TecH David Bailey, The Lightning-Quick Edge Rusher. He’s A Souped-Up Lightning Quick Off The Edge Barreling Figure And His Speed(4.5 40 Yard Dash) Helps Set Up Spin Moves, quick bull rushes when He Gets His Hands Into The Pad Level of The Offensive Lineman, and Quick Dip and Around Pass Offensive Lineman. Bailey generated 73 total pressures, including 14.5 sacks (tops in the nation), 42 hurries, and 18 hits. In the run Game, he recorded 22 solo tackles and forced 1 fumble on the season. Bailey’s Arm Length Has Dominated the Discussion Around His Draft Stock. While I Think He’ll Need Stunts To Help Him Avoid Elite Tackles On The Outside, I Think Adequate Length and guys with longer arms, like former Texas Tech and Raider Top 10 Edge Rusher Tyree Wilson(96th Percentile Arm Length).
5th) New York Giants, Carnell Tate, Wide Receiver—
The Jeremiyah Love Rumor looks a little more enticing here, but the Giants don’t Need A Back Not Fifth Overall. Instead, with a Top 10 Offensive Line In Place and a young quarterback, the Giants Need To field Weapons Around Him. Giants Wide receiver Malik Nabers accounted For 54.9% of the team’s air yards(the highest mark in the league during that span) over the first four games before suffering an ACL Injury. The Giants Found Limited Depth And Talent At Pass Catcher Underneath Nabers, and The Giants Lost Their Leading Receiver, Wan’Dale Robinson, To Free Agency. Carnell Tate stands 6’3 " at 195 lbs with a Sinewy, Lanky Frame With Legs that eat Up Ground Like A Lawn mower, But He Possessed Enough Nimbleness To Change Direction In Sudden Moments. Tate Excelled As A Down Field Threat With Multiple 40 Plus Yards Touchdowns, and When He Didn’t beat guys with speed, he beat them over the top by attacking The Ball In The Air. His 4.5 Speed Caught The Eye Of Media During The Scouting Combine, But His Long Speed Shows Up On Tape. He and Ohio State beat Up On A lot Of Underwhelming Talent On The College level because of their superior talent, but so did most other Ohio State Receivers. Tate also Played Opposite A Generational Talent In Jeremiah Smith, who commanded the focus of most college defenses ill-equipped to handle the impact of both players. Drafting A Running back or a linebacker with other prominent needs on the roster would prove roster management malpractice.
6th) Cleveland Browns, Spencer Fano, Tackle, Utah—
The Browns Found Several Successful Even Franchise Players In The Draft Last Year Getting 19.8% Of Their Snaps From Rookies. The Browns Need To Shift Their Attention To The Offensive Line In Desperate Need Of A Makeover after surrendering 224 pressures, including 29 sacks, on 643 pass plays. According to PFF, they are 20th in pass-block win rate, with a Serious Hole at Left Tackle. The Browns added several players in the offseason, including at right tackle, former Texan Tytus Howard. However, the left side remains a concern, with Dawan Jones suffering a season-ending injury in his second year in two to go, along with his injurious play. Fano Played Three Years At Utah, only surrendering seven Pressure and Three Sacks in nearly 1200 Pass Block Snaps played in three years, including zero sacks last year at right tackle. He’s built on The Slender Side. At 309 lbs, 6’6, and at first glance, you almost couldn’t Tell He’s A Tackle. Fano Athletics profile, 4.9 Forty time, 9’3 Broad, and 93 Athletic make Up For His Lack Of Traditional Size and Power. His Quick Feet and Light Frame Make Fano extremely attractive to teams that run heavy zone-based runs that require offensive linemen to Climb Into The Second Level. Fano Can Easily Kick Inside To Guard But If The Browns take him, they won't have anyone better to fill their tackle spot. The Browns could opt For A Traditionally Sized Offensive Lineman Like Monroe Fleming of Georgia or Kadyn Proctor of Alabama.
7th)Washington Commanders, Makai Lemon, Wide Receiver, USC—
The Commanders Have A lot Of Needs On Their Roster, and no running back will solve any of those needs. The Commanders Stitch Up The Defensive Line In Free Agency, and While The Line Could Use More Talent, I Think Their Set or at least don’t Need To Exhaust A Top Ten Talent Pick On That Concern. The Commanders Need Receiving Talent Behind Terry McLaurin and Pick Up One Of The Top Outside(or inside) options, with the majority of his 2025 snaps in the slot (464). In this Draft, Makai Lemon, who received 1156 receiving yards, 502 yards after the catch, 79 receptions, 14.6 per Reception with 11 receiving Touchdowns, 91.4 Receiving Grade From PFF. He’s a touch undersized at 5’11, 195 lbs, but shifty, which helps him get open quickly at the line of scrimmage and escape tacklers downfield. Despite Small Hands(8 3/4) Lemon Catches Everything, Just Two Drops on 108 Targets Four Drops Over His Career, Even Traffic With Defenders Laced On Him. Lemon instinctually Knows How To Sit In Zones, He’s Good Enough Speed and Balance To Win Along The Boundary Demonstrating His Ability To Defeat Both Man and Zone Coverage Generating plus yards per route run versus both man and zone and 80 First Down Across His Career 50 Last Season. He’s The Perfect Player To Fit A “Deebo Samuel” role. The Commanders Wanted A Player Who Can Win Long (16 Deep Catches), After The Catch 21 Missed Tackles Forced, 6.4 Yards After The Catch Per Reception, 522 Explosive Yards, and Catch Through Traffic 71.4% Contested Catch Rate. Lemon Lacks The Frame With Truly Underwhelming Measurable. He Posses The Skillset.
8th)New Orleans Saints, Jordan Tyson, Wide Receiver, Arizona State University—
The Saints have 11 Receivers On Their Roster Heading Into The Draft. Still, Outside Of All-Pro Chris Olave, their entire roster is unproven, and Olave's concussion history doesn’t Provide Much Insurance For an Offense Looking to take a Step Forward Under New head Coach Kellen Moore. Tyson will provide the Saints With A Prototypical “X-Receiver” At 6’2 200 lbs, Who Can Win One On One Matchups Along The Boundary and make highlight-level plays over defenders. Tyson Also Possesses Great body Control For Holding Himself In Place In The Air. He Tracks Deep Ball Over The Shoulder With Excellent Ease And Control. His Lack Of Production After The Catch, 4.3 Yards Per Reception After The Catch, Six Missed Tackles Forced, A Borderline Confusing Contested Catch Rate 43.8%, and Relative Low Slot Production. His effort and consistency wane, and Those Traits Hold Tyson Back From Ranking At The Top of this class. He’s Got A suspicious Injury Streak Including A Knee Reconstruction In 2023 And He Only Played In Nine Games Last Season Due To A Hamstring Injury Leaving Behind Decent Production 61 Catches On 97 Targets 711 receiving yard With Touchdowns. Tyson didn’t Test At The Combine or Pro day, but athletically, his Profile Checks Out on Tape.
9th)Kansas City Chiefs, Reuben Bain Jr., Edge Rusher, Miami—
Projecting A Chiefs pick inside the top ten feels strange, but the wheels fell off the Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes Winning Complex This Year. If the Chiefs Hope To Return To Meaningful Football In January, they’ll Need To Stay The Tide until Patrick Mahomes Returns From Injury. The Team Will Need To Lean In On Their Defense. The Chiefs’ defense didn’t produce a double-digit sack guy last season. An aging Chris Jones led the team with seven sacks, and did I Mention He’s a 32-year-old defensive tackle? Reuben Bain can Tag Along Opposite George Karlaftis To Help Return The Chiefs' defense to a top ten unit. Bain’s 1% percentile arm Length Limits How He Can Win at the Next Level, but Where He Excels in Speed and Power, He’s The Ultimate Example. Whichever team drafts him will probably rush him exclusively from the right side, where he’s Less Likely To Encounter Longer Armed Tackles. His Smaller Measurable Will Pop Up From Time To Time and Maybe Cut Him Completely Out Of Particular Matchups, so I Wouldn’t Expect Big Pass Rush Win Numbers Like The Ones He posted In College. He’s Going To Get How And Deliver On Sundays. The Chiefs Have Options At Nine. Bain’s Miami teammate Akeem Mesidor Generated Better Testing Numbers (Pressure percent: Mesidor 14.3%, Bain 14.0%, Time to first pressure, Mesidor 2.66 seconds to Bain's 2.71
per ESPN). Mesidor Enters The Draft As The Far Older Prospect At 25 Years Old With Six Years Of College Experience. Auburn’s Edge Keldric Faulk, who possesses The Length And Strength But Lacks The Production and pass Rush Talent Of Bain, and Projects At Edge rusher, tends not to work out, But He’ll turn 21 Ahead Of The Start Of The Season. The Chiefs Will Take A Long look at several cornerback prospects, but I Expect The Defense To Take Precedence With Their Two First Round Picks. The Red Flags On Bain Continue To Pronounce Themselves With Each Passing Draft Show/Podcast/Media Discourse, But If He Lives Up To His Talents, The Red Flags Will Become Forgettable, But A Slide Wouldn’t Surprise Anyone. Ohio State Safety Caleb Downs, LSU Cornerback Mansoor Delane Or, and Tennessee Cornerback Jermod McCoy.
10th)New York Giants, Mansoor Delane, Cornerback, LSU—
The Giants Traded Star Defensive Tackle Dexter Lawrence to The Bengals For The Rights To The 10th Overall Pick. The loss of Lawrence Will Leave A Gaping Hole In The Middle Of The Giants' defensive line. One they could fill through the draft, but another top ten pick gives the Giants Some Options. The Giants Finished In The Middle Of The Pack In Terms Of Pass Coverage, -0.04 EPA Per Pass Attempt Allowed(14th-worst), 16th-worst in PFF coverage grade. The defense lacks an elite corner; however, a player like Mansoor Delane Fits The Role. Look, I don’t give the names, but this kid possesses exceptional movement skills, contortionist-like, and His Head Moves and shifts almost alien-like as he balances watching a man and a ball. He’s Patient in Press Coverage, but Forceful At The Point Of Attack, Simply Competing Receivers Out Of Position When Tested, and Offenses Rarely Test Him. Delane’s Ideal Size: At 6’0, 187 Lbs. He Finished His Fourth Season and his lone SEC season. Tied for ninth in the FBS with 1.2 passes defensed per game. Registered a low 31.3 passer rating. He’s A Difference Maker Day One. The Giants could also look at blue-chip safety prospect Caleb Downs, another defensive difference-maker.
11th)Miami Dolphins, Denzel Boston, Wide Receiver—
Miami Underwent A Massive Overhaul, Tearing The Roster Down To The Studs, absorbing An Historically Massive Dead Cap Hit In The Process While Acquiring Some Assets in return, including the number 30 Pick In The 2026 Draft. With their tenth pick, the Dolphins take their First Steps To Rebuild Their Wide Receiver room, and with a new offensive mind in town, the Dolphins begin to replace the speed of the past with a Complete Receiver In Denzel Boston Out of Washington. He’s A Big Body Receiver At 6’4 ", 209 lbs, and He uses all of his physical tools, showcasing a quality large catch radius. He hauled in 56 receptions on 86 targets for 755 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 2.3 yards Per Route Run. Boston skipped Testing Speed At The Combine, But He’s Still Very Shifty, quick, and demonstrated great change of direction ability and Body Control On film. His Innate Traits and Athletic Ability Helped Him Excel On Slants, Crossers, multi-cut routes, double moves, and Inaccurate Pass Adjustments, while his frame helped him dominate downfield on go routes and Corner Routes. Boston Tape Alone Could Put Him Atop This Class, But His Lack Of Testing Numbers (Skipping The Forty, A Red Flag) and His Commitment To Play At Washington, His Hometown School, A Low-Profile School This Year, Spurning Opportunities To Transfer, Limited His Exposure. Boston Bears Similar Traits To Wide Receivers Mike Evans, Drake London, and Tet McMillian Should Provide Miami With Their Next Franchise Guy. KC Concepcion of Texas A&M Looks Like A Great Option As Well With His Route Running Capacity.
12th) Dallas Cowboys, Sonny Styles, Linebacker, Ohio State—
The ‘Allas Cowboys, Yes, Because They Had No “D” all year, the boys fielded the most maligned defense in football last season, and Dallas Made Moves To Improve The Defensive. The rest of the unit played like a big plate of Texas barbecue chicken. The Linebacking Corp Stood Out As Especially Vulnerable. Five Of Seven Cowboy Linebackers Surrendered A Passer Of 100 Or More when targeted. Six Of Seven Generated Positive Catch Rates Over Expected. Ohio State Linebacker Sonny Styles Stole the Show at the Draft Combine with His Otherworldly Testing Numbers: 4.4 Forty Time, 43 1/2 Vertical Jump(Higher Than Vince Carter), 134” (11 Foot, 2 Inches) Broad Jump, 80 7/8 Wingspan. At 6’5, 244 Lbs, Delivering an Historic Performance At The Combine. In Run Defense Styles, Uses His Length And Strength To Disengage Offense Lineman In Second Level and Still Bring Down Backs, or Simply Using His Quickness And Speed To Get around Blockers and Blow Up A Play. Last season, the Cowboys finished eighth in missed tackles. Styles Missed Just Two Tackles in 90 Attempts, 77 tackles total, and earned a 91.6 PFF tackle grade. He’s sure-handed in one-on-one situations. Ohio State Used Styles As A Rusher Sparingly. He generated 11 total pressures, including 1 sack as a blitzer, but NFL Defenses Could Use Him More Creatively and aggressively. If I’m The Team That Drafts Him, I’m Tempted To Unlock Some Of His Untapped Potential As A Pass Rusher Just Because Of Those Physical Tools. He’s A Top Ten talent at a non-priority position, but if a team took a flyer on him in the Top Ten, His Rise Up The Board wouldn’t Surprise Anyone Watching The Draft.
13th)Los Angeles Rams, Kenyon Sadiq, Tight End, Oregon
— The Rams Have A Near Perfect Roster While Each Team Not Only In This Draft Range But Throughout Football have Clear Needs The Rams Roster look Ready For Contention Without A Single Selection Especially after the Trent McDuffie Trade. Four Spots stood out after my Process Of Elimination: Defensive Tackle(Strong But Lacks Depth), Offensive Tackle(Strong But Never Strong Enough), Wide Receiver(Two top ten injury-prone options), and Tight End (Not Desperate But Needs A Difference Maker). From One Freakish Athlete In styles To Another In Sadiq He’s Built More Like A Power Running than A traditional Tight, But What He Lacks In Size(9th Percentile Height, 15th Percentile Weight) He Makes Up For With Wild Explosion 43 1/2 Vertical Jump, 4.39 Forty Yards Dash and 133” Inch Broad Jump(11’1”). At Oregon, Sadiq Mastered the Identity Of The “Move” Tight End as Oregon Utilized His Athleticism in the Backfield, on Screens, In-line, Out-wide, and Yes, Even as a Passer. The Word Chess Piece On Offense in Football Has Become Trite Because Very Few Players Can Live Up To The Ideal, but Sadiq could Emerge As A Transformative Option For the Rams Offense. He Played With Three Quarterbacks In His Career At Oregon: Bo Nix, Dillon Gabriel, and Dante Moore, and delivered serviceable numbers in his junior season: 51 receptions, 560 yards, 11.0 per reception, eight touchdowns, and 214 yards after the catch. The Rams Could Look At Edge With Akeem Mesidor or Cashius Howell as they approach a pivotal offseason next year, as many of the late-round value picks the Rams Accumulated Over The Past Few Seasons become Free Agents and Extension Eligible, and Matthew Stafford's contract voids, leaving behind massive cap hits. The Rams Will Still Have to Operate With Future Accounting Possibilities to Manage.
14)Baltimore Ravens, KC Concepcion, Wide Receiver, Texas. The strength of some amazing seasons by Lamar Jackson, D,erricwhatever veteran pass rusher with some gas left in the tank, the Tank. The Ravens Avoided Regression For A Couple Of Season Until 2025. Last season, Lamar Struggled With Injuries, Derrick Henry Struggled With Situational Ball Security, and the Defense Regressed Across The Board. With Jackson Rushing A lot Less To Avoid Injury, The Ravens Offense Needs Upgrades From Last Season, Especially in Terms of pass Catching Options on Offense, After Attempting to Get by With the Corpse Of Deandre Hopkins Out Wide. Zay Flowers Has Limitations, Rashod Batemon Didn’t Elevate From Last Season’s Career Year and He’s Never Looked Like “A Guy”. Standing At Just Sixth Foot Tall, 195 lbs Concepcion who started His Career As A Slot Only Guy But Emerge In One Season In Sec play as An out wide Threat(453 of his 674 wide receiver snaps at Texas A&M in 2025 as “Z” Receiver). He’s A “Juiced” up guy who explodes out of his breaks, who can win downfield and in the short area, and Dominated Man Coverage In The SEC, 60.3% Separation Rate Against Man Coverage.
Who Test At The Combine, But His Tape Tells A Complete Story Of His Game. The Ravens Need a True “X” Receiver More Than A Z, but Concepcion Can Fill The Role In Formations In Similar To How They Used Hopkins And Batemon.
15)Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Akeem Mesidor, Edge Rusher, Miami—
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers nearly survived their second-half season collapse, but their playoff and divisional championship run came to an end. The Bucs Defense Played Poorly Most Of The Season, Finishing Seventh In Yards Per Pass Allowed, 10th In Passing Touchdowns Surrendered(30), 12th In Passing First Downs Allowed. The Bucs Generate Pressure At A Top Five Rate in football, but at the Expense of a blitz top-three rate. The Roster Lacked A One-On-One Winner. Enter Ahkeem Mesidor, a Canadian Native and an integral part of the University of Miami’s National Title Game Run. Another Hurricane Guy With T-Rex Standing 6’3 272 Lbs. He is built sturdy, with 55 total pressures as a pass rusher, including 9 sacks, 42 hurries, 4 hits, and a 12.4 Pressure Rate. He’s an Explosive Fluid Lateral Mover With A Time to first pressure of 2.66 and A Max Speed of 18.0 Miles Per Hour. Mesidor’s Age And Arm Length Will Create a lot of trepidations (I am Worried About The Arms)for teams to look at him early, but he’s a really talented rusher, especially with a mind like Todd Bowles Behind Him. Even with the Dermis of The Pass Rush Talent Gone By 15, the Bucs Have Options At The Middle Of The First and In the Later Rounds. A Player Like Cashius Howell, Who Dominated The SEC, Could Also Fit The Bill For The Bucs As A Slightly Younger Option At Edge Rusher.
16) New York Jets, Caleb Downs, Safety, Ohio State—
Alabama Quarter Ty Simpson pops into mind, but the Jets hold the first pick in the second, giving them prime trade-back real estate into the first round, without giving up future first-round capital. Simpson isn’t worth the risk, so the Jets Take The Best Player Available. In This Case, Ohio State Caleb Downs. A Blue Chip Prospect with A Top Five Grade, A versatile, athletic safety. Downs Came Into This World To Play Football Standing At 5’11 206 lbs. Downs has lived in the football spotlight for nearly his entire life. His Dad, Uncle, and Brother(Josh Downs Of The Colts), as well as a cousin, all played in the NFL. Caleb ranked as the number one football recruit in the state of Georgia before committing to Alabama, where he led the Crimson Tide In Tackles As A Freshman. After Nick Saban departed, Downs Transferred To Ohio State. Opposing Big Ten offenses committed to avoiding challenging downs in the passing game; no passing touchdowns were allowed in 874 coverage snaps. Downs demonstrated Computer Like Diagnostic Skills at Ohio State Often Finding HimSelf In Plays Challengers Tried to Scheme Him out Of In The Pass Game and This Knowledge Doesn’t Just Show Up In The Pass Defense But In The Box Where He Act As A Blitzer Or A Cap Plugger. At his size, he’s A Skilled and competitive Tackler and Top Could Land As High As The Top Five. I don't believe many teams prioritize safety.
17) Detroit Lions, Monroe Fleming, Tackle, Georgia—
The Lions crashed and landed like a plane in the 2025 season after Landing At The Top Of The NFC in 2024. The Well Drafted and Well Crafted Roster Gets Expensive This Year and Beyond, And The Lions Now Have Just Four Tackles on Their Roster After Taylor Decker Moved On. Freeling Would Rank As The Premier Tackle In This Draft If Not For His Inexperience With Just A Year And A Half Of Starting Tackle Tape At Georgia. Teams and Media View Fleming More As An “Ascending” Prospect, But He’s Super Athletic, Confirmed By His Testing After He Ran A 4.9 Forty At A Stout 315 lbs, 33 1/2 Half Vertical Jump, 9’7 Broad Jump With an Ideal Length 34 and 3/4 Inch Arms, 84 and a Half Inch Wing Span. The Lions finished ninth-worst in pass blocking grade according to PFF. Shuffling players and Getting Cheaper along The Offensive Line Seems In Order.
18)Minnesota Vikings, Jeremyiah Love, Running Back, Notre Dame—
I’ve Seen Jeremyiah Love Ranked As High As Two On Some Draft Boards, and Running Backs Have Made A Resurgence In Recent Years Returning To The First Round after Teams Started To Avoid The Position in The First Round In The 2010s. Teams Have Selected Backs in The First Round In Recent Year Including The Top Ten Like The Raiders Last year And while First Round Backs Like Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson Revived Interest and Excitement In The Position. after Ashton Jeanty Produced An “Up And Down” Year In Vegas And Saquon Rumble Through An “Up and Down” Stint In New York most Teams Understand You Cant Build An Offense Around A Running Back but Only With One. As Far As Ones Go In Terms Of Running, Love stands as “One Of Them Ones.” He’s An Elite Back Talent, A Jump Cut Machine, with next-level speed and a Forceful Style Of Running. Imagine Jahmyr Gibbs' speed with Bijan’s Contact Balance and Derrick Henry’s Contact Balance. In His Junior Season At Notre Dame, Love Dominated Racking Up 199 Carries, 1,372 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns, 6.9 yards per attempt, forced 56 missed tackles as a runner, and 4.5 yards after contact per attempt. He Earned The High Regard Bestowed Upon Him as A consensus all-agreed-upon prospect, but he’s A Running Back whose Talents Could Lift A Teams Ceiling As A Complement Or Level A Team’s Ceiling As A Focal Point.
19) Carolina Panthers, Kadyn Proctor, Offensive Lineman, Alabama—
Thanks To A lot Of Early Selections In Recent Draft The Panthers Roster Enters The 2026 Replete With A lot Of “Wait To See Them develop” Pieces, Not a lot Of Stars But Also Not Many Obvious Holes Because You don’t Want To Draft Over Guys. one Less Than Obvious Spot the Panthers Left Tackle Ikem Ekwonu For A Year With a Knee Injury. Carolina Filled The Role With veteran Tackle Rasheed Walker on a one-year deal with the Panthers. Walker Should Fill In Fine As A Tackle, But The Panthers Need A Player With More long-term Upside, and Insurance. One Kadyn Proctor Could Fall To Them At The 19th Pick. Touted by some as one of the best offensive tackles, Proctor Brings A Hulkish Frame, 6’6 352 lbs, With Some impressive testing: 32.5-inch vertical, 109-inch broad jump, 5.22 Forty Time.
His Mammoth Size Allows Him To Engulf Pass Rushers Who Attempt To explode into his Chest Area, and He Can Get His Feet moving upfield in open space. While not slow-footed for his size, he’s not the Most Graceful Mover, Especially Laterally (he’s Good Moving North And South). In Recent Year These “Hulk-ish” Offensive Tackles, Evan Neal, Mekhi Becton, JC Latham, Alex Leatherwood, Cam Robinson(All Alabama Guys Except Becton) Have Struggled To Find Success On The Next Level Where More Room Out On The Island Of Left Tackle Exist and Escaping Their Technical and Athletic Flaws Becomes Dire, Movement Skills Become Stressed, Pure Strength Become valueless and not Every Defensive Lineman Lunges Into Their chest To Preoccupy the Cap—Proctor Shares Many Of The Traits Of Those Above Mentioned Offensive Lineman. Orlando Brown Jr. proved his ceiling for this style of offensive lineman. However, the Ravens Drafted Brown In The Third Round Of 2018, and He’s Regressed As A Player Each Of The Last Three Seasons. If the Panthers commit to the offensive line, Caleb Lomu of Utah or Blake Miller of Clemson works.
20)Dallas Cowboys, Jermod McCoy, Corner Back, Tennessee—
The Cowboys Designated Most Of Their Cap Space To The Offensive Side Of The Ball Needing Rookie scale Contract To Help Infuse Talent On Defense So Expect Dallas To Go defense Twice In the First. The Cowboys Cut Former Pro Bowl Corner Trevon Diggs and Top Corner Daron Bland UnderPerform. McCoy Skipped All of His Junior Season with an ACL. If he had played, he’d likely be in play as a top ten pick. He’s A Fluid Athlete With great Hip Mobility Changing Directions At The Drop Of A Dime So Even when Beat off the line, he recovers in an Instant and standing 6’0 3/4, 188 Lbs, With 31 1/4 Arms, 77 Inch Wing Span His long And Disrupts 4 INTs In 2024, 24% forced incompletion Rate, 53.7 Passer Rating, 10 catches for 168 yards. His Physical profile Makes Him Disruptive On Slant, 12 PBUs, 6 interceptions, 11.8% missed tackle rate, 53.2% catch rate allowed, and Should Step In As The Cowboys' number one corner.
21)Pittsburgh Steelers, Ty Simpson, Quarterback, Alabama—
All with NFL Draft Season Comes With a lot of NFL Draft “Chess Moves,” and one of those moves is teams letting “reports” Surface About “unInterest” In A Certain Player To Lighten The Market On A Position. ESPN's Matt Miller reported Thursday that “[the Steelers] won't be forced to draft [A Quarterback] this year, "meaning the inverse: the Steelers Will Draft A Quarterback Early. They Reached For Kenny Pickett Years Back, and Bama’s Ty Simpson Would Rank Over Pickett If He Were In That 2022 Draft Class. Every Source With An Eye On The Game Of Football Struggles Project Quarterbacks( Or Position) Into The Pros Because The System(Pro Or RPO) doesn’t matter, Traits don’t matter, and college, even nebulous things like football acumen and processing, don’t matter. Simpson Played On The Worst Alabama Team This Decade. He played in a pro offense, but that doesn’t mean he acclimated to an “NFL Pro” offense because that's a different level of the same game. He may prove worse prepared because his mind may assume he knows something, and when he hits a wall and doesn’t know the answers at the pro level, it creates an “illusion of competence”. The Steelers have Other Needs On The Roster Along The Offensive Line, but they'll reach again at quarterback for the second time this decade.
22)Los Angeles Chargers, Olaivavega Ioane, Guard, Penn State—
The Chargers Drafted
From the same position last year, when they took running back Omarion Hampton Out Of North Carolina to become the team's featured tailback. The Chargers Can’t Exhaust 2026’s 22nd Pick So Frivolously Especially With The Mess They Deployed Along The Offensive Line Last Season. With Their Tackle Positions Bookended At The Center Position Stabilized With Tyler Biadiz, Los Angeles Will Look Inside With Guard prospect Olaivavega Ioane Out Of Penn State. Standing 6’4, 320 Lbs, Ioana started two and a half seasons for the Nittany Lions, allowing 4 total pressures in pass protection, an 87.0 pass-blocking grade, 20th among qualified offensive guards, and a 78.6 run-blocking grade of 78.6 According. College Stats Don’t Always Matter, But Ioana Posses A Thick Frame, He’s Impossible To Move Once He Locks His Bice Grip Like Hands On A Rusher's Pads and Anchors His Based Rusher Get Gallop By His Frame. He’s not exactly Fleet of Foot(He Doesn’t Run Gracefully), But He Gets Around The Offense Line For Pulls and Into The Second on Zone Scheme Runs. He’s A Touch Slow Reacting, and His Athletic Profile Appears “Modest” At Best. He didn’t participate in all the drills at the combine, so I don’t foresee Vega Kicking Out To Tackle At The Pro Level.
23)Philadelphia Eagles, TJ Parker, Edge Rusher, Clemson—
A Few Years Into the Jalen Hurts Nic Siriani Era The Eagles Transformed From One Of The Most Stoic Teams In Football To One Of The Drama-Laden Units In Just One Season After Winning. “Mo Money, Mo Problem,” Once Said By The Late Christopher. Nick Siriani’s Capacity To Coach Has Come Under Scrutiny, Reports About Friction With The Coaching Staff and Quarterback Jalen Hurts, and the trade Drama Surrounding Star Wide Receiver AJ Brown. Philly Has Struggled To “…keep the main thing the main thing.” Underneath The Rubble Of The Former Eagles' championship edifice, the Vaunted Pass Rush Talent, Hasson Riddick, Josh Sweat, and Javon Hargrave, All Stripped Away From The Eagles’ pass rush, and now only unproven developmental pieces like Jaylx Hunt, Nolan Smith, and Moro Ojomo Remain. A Power Rusher First, Second, and Third Parker Fits all The Measurable As An NFL Pass Rusher At 6’3, 263 Lbs, 33 1/8 Arms with 4.6 Speed, and a 34 Inch Vertical. However He’s Not The “Bendiest” Or Sinewy, Parker Struggles(Or Down Right Cant) Beat Blockers To The Edge Or Change Gears With Speed To Power Usually Getting Spilled Off Course From The Pocket. Parker goes through The Chest of blockers, the simplest route, but not always the most effective way to beat blockers. Parker’s Production Fell From 57 tackles, 19.5 TFL, 11 sacks, and six forced fumbles, 41 total pressures, 6 sacks, 21 solo tackles, 37 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 0 Forced Fumbles. If Parker can add A Rush Move, A Club, A Swim Move, Or A Spin, He Could Develop into A Fierce Rusher Thanks To His Natural Physical Traits.
24)Cleveland Browns, Omar Cooper, Wide Receiver, Indiana—
The Browns' failures offensively stemmed from a comprehensive meltdown across the roster, not just from Cleveland Starting Two Rookies and a 40-year-old quarterback. The Browns Need To Infuse New Talent Into The Wide Receiver After Jerry Jeudy Fell Off Last Season, and the Browns Don’t Have Much Tied To Jeudy Beyond Next Season. Omar Cooper, The Wide Receiver From Indiana Who Broke On To The Scene As The Hoosier exploded into the spotlight, could fill the void as the best receiver available. Standing 6’0 " tall, weighing 201 Lbs, Cooper Played A lot Of Non-Boundary Receiver(slot and Y), where he utilized his explosive athletic ability with his uncanny contact balance, with his best work coming from the slot Position. Cooper averaged 7.3 yards after the catch Per Reception last season. On His Way To 69 catches, 13 Touchdowns, 804 receiving yards, with 414 yards after the catch. He’s Not A “Sudden” Mover Despite A 4.4 in the 40-yard dash. He Slows Down To Change Direction, Out Of The Slot, He Ran A “Limited Route Tree” and His 11th Percentile Arm Length(301/2)It will affect his effectiveness as a boundary receiver, but he's a sure-handed player. The Browns Could Pass On Offense Here And Look To add Another Corner Or Another Offensive Lineman While Also Standing On Prime Trade Back Realty. Cleveland probably expected This Pick From Jacksonville To Fall Closer To The Middle Of The First Round and not 24th, but Trevor Lawrence Had One Of Those Seasons.
25)Chicago Bears, Keldric Faulk, Edge Rusher, Auburn—
The Bears Built The floor Of Their Turnaround From The Bottom Of The NFC in 2024 To The Top In 2025 on strides in Caleb Williams’s Development, Ben Johnson’s Master Play calling, and high-volume turnovers, and All Of These Pilars Will Come Under Challenge In Some Form. The Bears Traded Away “Star” Receiver DJ Moore, and offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo suffered A Knee Injury During The Wild Card Week. Projections Indicate He’ll miss the majority of 2026. The Chicago Offense Took 25.9 PPG (9th), 369.5 total YPG (6th). The Bears still boost one of the weakest pass rushes in football, and if TJ Parker or Mesidor Fall In The Draft, Chicago Would Make Those Selections To add Rushers. The Bears Take The Next Best Option In Keldric Faulk, The Most Physically Gifted Pass Rusher In This Class, Coming At 6’6 Feet Tall, 285 lbs Rusher 34 3/8 Inch Arms Coming Out Of Auburn With A Spindly Frame. Faulk generated 30 total pressures, 2 sacks,11.6% Pass Rush Win Rate. Faulk's numbers dropped from Last Year When He Notched 9 Sacks. He’s incredibly raw, lacks traditional Pass-Rush, and relies on body position and Force. Faulk won’t turn 21 Years Old Until September, Meaning He’s got a lot Of Time To Fill Out His Frame With Skill.
26)Buffalo Bills, Dillon Thieneman, Safety, Oregon—
Buffalo Once Sported One Of The Sports Most Vaunted Secondaries. This unit led the league in pass defense, but over time, as football's attrition stripped the Bills of their elite secondary, which ultimately cost them late in the playoffs against Denver. The Bills Role Into The Draft with Geno Stone and Cole Bishop, Both Replacement Level Players, and Damar Hamlin, a Player Big On Inspiration and Light On Impact. Thieneman Leaped Unto The Draft Stage—Literally 41-inch-Vertical—In One Season At Oregon After Transferring From Purdue and Just About Any Role the Ducks' Defense Needed. Dillon played primarily nickel and safety, playing the slot primarily, Playing The Slot Primarily Where His Frame, 6’0, 201 B, Made Him A Trusted Contributor In The Run Game In Pass Defense. Dillon Stuffed The Stat Sheet box 92-95 tackles, five pass breakups, two INTs, 3.5 TFL, a sack, and Tested Out The Roof 4.35-second 40-yard dash, 41-inch vertical, and 10-foot-5 broad jump. He’s not impressively nimble, but he's perfectly range enough to play in Buffalo’s Heavy Zone Scheme. The Bills' secondary had one of the worst miss-tackle rates in football, Which Enabled The Bills' Sixth-Worst Rush Defense. Thieneman Should Make A Day-One Impact On That Side Of The Ball.
27) San Francisco 49ers, Avieon Terrell, Cornerback, Clemson—
The Closed The Season As The Most Injured Unit In Football With The Defense Suffering More Of The Effects From Loss Due To Bad Luck Or The Now Debunked Electrical Substation Situation. Even When Healthy, the Niners' secondary ranks seventh in EPA per pass play allowed (+0.07). Rookie Uptown Stout Showed Promise As Slot Option, But The Niners Need A Premium Corner. Clemson’s Aveion Terrell Brings A Strong Pedigree As He Adds Name To A Growing Length Of Tigers’ Corner In the League, Giving The South Carolina School A Bid To “Corner Back University”—Avieon Stands 5’11 " at 186 A Touch Under Size. Enter The League, But No Bigger Than Trent McDuffie, the highest-paid corner in football. A great athlete, Avieon, Gets To His Top speed quickly. In just a few steps, he takes off, but he’s Also Excellent At Stopping And Starting and starting and changing direction, thanks to palpable hip fluidity. Terrell Played Coverage On The Outside and In The Slot(110 slot snaps and 463 out wide)Where Showcase His Play Recognition Skills In zone and Man Coverage Along With His Recovery Ability As Well as A Quick Stride To Defending Down Field Remaining Stride For Stride With Receivers Along the Boundary Terrell Proved He’s One Of The Few Cornerbacks In Recent Memory To Posses Great Tackling Form And Will.
28)Houston Texans, Caleb Lomu, Tackle, Utah—
The Texans Have Failed To “Revamp” Their Offensive Line for Several Years; They Haven’t Left The Bottom Of The Offensive Line Rankings In Almost A Decade. Despite Houston’s failing, they’ve Veered Closer To Something “Respectable” In Pass Protection With Every Shuffle. This offseason, they’ve Added Veteran Braden Smith to Tag Along with Aireontae Ersery At Tackle. Smith ranked 33rd of 82 tackles in pass blocking, a solid number, but he’s 30 years old with a sketchy Injury History. Lomu Enters The NFL Built Like A Tackle Of Today’s Age, At 6’6, 315 Lbs, Giving Him Excellent Size And Mobility With Acceptable Arm Length. He Played Left Tackle Practically Exclusively At Utah and Gave Up Just Two Sacks In three seasons with a 79.8 pass block win grade, 3.31 Pressure Rate And A 5.2% Pass Block Loss Rate. At His Weight and build, Lomu Lacks Power, and His 15% Pass Block Loss Rate Against Bull Rushes Support Those Concerns with Power Rushers. Lomu Can Play Behind Smith As He Develop Baseline Strength To Handle More Blocking Responsibility.
29)Kansas City Chiefs, Colton Hood, CornerBack, Tennessee —
Depending On How The Board plays out and if Reuben Bain’s arm length becomes too much of a deterrent or disincentive to overlook, the Chiefs Will Select Edge And Corner With Their Two First Round Picks In Some Order. Lacking Cap Space, The Chiefs Made The Educated Decision to Move Number One Corner Trent McDuffie, but Get An Opportunity To Replace McDuffie With a Cornerback Who Compares Well In Terms Of Dimensions And Play Style, Colton Hood. Hood Enrolled At Three Schools Playing Red Shirting At Auburn Before Transferring To Colorado and Then Tennessee, Where He Became A Full-Time Starter For The Vols. A Press Coverage Savant Hood’s Length and Ranginess Stands Out On Tape For Good and Bad Reasons. Even When Out of The Picture On Plays, Hood Length(31 3/8") and Explosion ( 40 Inch Vertical, 4.44 forty speed) help him close in on routes. He’s The Best Corner In Terms Of Breaking Up Jump Balls, back shoulder passes, and sometimes overpowering receivers. His Physicality Betrays Hood When He Gets “Grabby” In Coverage, A Play Style He’ll Have To Clean Up At The Next Level. A red-shirt sophomore, just 21 Years Old, Hood Has Loads Of Growth Ahead Of Him.
30)Miami Dolphins, Peter Woods, Defensive Tackle, Clemson—
One Of Three Teams With two Selections In The First Round in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Dolphins don’t Have Any Wrong Answers With The Pick They Swapped For Jaylen Waddle. Truthfully, I wouldn’t have made this trade, but the Dolphins Can Add Another Talent As They Become The First Team In The Modern NFL To Embark On An “Unofficially” Tank. Ahead of last year’s Draft, the Dolphins' roster lacked quality production at defensive tackle, so the Dolphins Drafted Kenneth Grant 13th to fill The Role. He Played Underwhelmingly, and the Dolphins Could Look to Upgrade The Position with a New Regime In Town. Peter Woods Another Power House Rusher Out Of Clemson Could Fit What Hafley Likes—a stoutly built wrecking ball at 6’3 298 lbs. Woods plays with power, taking on and defeating blocker (s) with Strength and Balance. He Faced A Fair Amount of Double Teams that Affect His Numbers, some Just Two Sacks, 3.5 Tackles For Loss, 4% Pressure Rate, 14 total pressures, 21 Total Defensive Stops, 14.5 TFL, 5 sacks, 54 pressures across his three-year career. Woods Brings Scheme Versatility, having Played Across The Defensive Line, from nose to five-technique, and Even Spent Some Time At Goal Line Running back and notched a few touchdowns for Clemson. Woods Bosh: 78% rating against the run defense. According to Draft Buzz, Something The Dolphins Need. Like Most of the Defensive Linemen in the Draft, Woods’s Arm Length Has Brought His Upside Into question, but His Strength and Quickness Make Him Suitable and tantalizing for many NFL Defenses.
31)New England Patriots, Eli Stowers, Tight End, Vanderbilt—
The Patriots’ Impactful Defense Carried The Team Through a Harrowing Three
In the playoff run and keeping the Super Bowl Interesting For A While, the offense struggled for much of the postseason, aside from a few moments. The Offensive Line Came Under Heavy Fire After The Playoffs, After Surrendering 21 Sacks In Four Games—the Patriots Stand At Pick 31. None of the tackles available justifies a selection. The Patriots' offense lost a wealth of production and Impact When They Cut Leading Receiver Stefon Diggs, and even as the front office and the franchise close in on AJ Brown, the Pats Have Holes at Other Pass-Catching positions. Eli Stowers, The Elite Move Tight End Out Of Vanderbilt Can Help The Patriots Get Younger and More Versatile At The Position. Over Shadowed By Kenyon Sadiq in a One-Tight-End Class, Stowers Athletic Profile Rivals That Of Sadiq Or A Receiving Threat In This Class. Stowers Tested Off The Charts: 1.59 10 Yard split, 2.62 20 Yard Split, 4.51 forty-yard dash, 45 1/2 Inch Vertical Jump, and an 11’3 Broad Jump. Predominantly Used In The Pass Catching Game, at Vandy, Stowers Played Most Of His Snaps At The Slot receiver With Some Snaps Out wide, and Projects Best As A “big-slot option” In The Pros With Upside Out Wide. The Patriots Have Lacked A Tight End Of Stowers' Like Talent, And Even Though He's Projected To Fall Into The Second Round, a coveted skillset like his, the Patriots Should Risk Losing. If the Patriots Choose Offensive Pass On Tight end and wait For The Second Round And Address The Offensive Line, Blake Miller Will Also Come Into Play At 31st.
32) Seattle Seahawks, Brandon Cisse, Cornerback, South Carolina—
Super Bowl Roster Usually Suffer Heavy Losses, and while Seattle Managed To Keep The Frame In Tack With Their Seahawks roster, the biggest loss came as running back Kenneth Walker Signed With The Chiefs. Their old defensive line will get older next season so that a pass rusher could fit here. Still, Another Cornerback Opposite Devon Witherspoon Makes A lot more sense, and Brandon Cisse out of South Carolina Serves As The Best Corner Available. Cisse Rocks A Stellar 6’0 Frame At 190 lbs With Quick feet And Limbered Long Arms. Playing Out On The Island Out Wide, Cisse Plays With Great Hip Mobility, shifting Postures, And With no breaks in motion, allowing Cisse To Open Up But Also Break In On Receivers. An Explosive Athlete(41 Inch Vertical, 10’11 Broad Jump) Cisse Gets Off Of Base Stance, Nose Diving For Tackles In The Run(run-defense grade of 89.2 According To Pff) and Hits As A Blitzer. Cisse Played Just One Season At South Carolina, allowing a 40% completion percentage, 78.9 passer rating,18 Receptions Allowed, and 7 Pass Breakups. Critics Have Knocked Cisse for his over-reliance on “natural gifts to recover” after opening himself up too early and getting beaten, which explains his 20.1 Yards Per Reception Allowed. The Better Athletes In The NFL Will Get The Best Of Him With a Variety Of Releases. Seattle Has Found Success With Other Gamecocks In Safety Nick Emanwori, And Most Of Cisse’s Troubles On Tape Will Get Corrected Through Discipline. Edge Rushers Like Cashius Howell and Malachi Lawrence Will Come Into Play As The Draft Board Unfolds, but Edge And Corner Seem Like The Top Two Choices For Seattle.
