Pick |
Explanation |
| 1 |
Jacksonville |
DE Travon Walker Georgia |
Jags go with the upside of Walker even though his numbers didn’t match some of the other high end pass rushers this last season. |
| 2 |
Detroit |
DE Aidan Hutchinson Michigan |
Detroit will run to the podium if Hutchinson is here at number 2. He will sell a ton of Jerseys in his home state. |
| 3 |
Houston |
OT Ikem Ekwonu NC State |
Houston just needs talent anywhere they can get it. Ikem is a great bookend tackle to pair with Laremy Tunsil. |
| 4 |
NY Jets |
DE Kayvon Thibodeaux Oregon |
The jets need offensive help with Zach Wilson but instead choose to not pass up on the all pro celing of Thibodeaux. |
| 5 |
NY Giants |
OT Evan Neal Bama |
Giants need to continue to add talent to protect Danny and Neal has the ability to play almost anywhere along the line. |
| 6 |
Carolina |
QB Malik Willis Liberty |
Carolina reaches on Willis hoping his skillset can develp and matchup with his raw tools. |
| 7 |
NY Giants |
DE Jermaine Johnson II Florida St. |
Giants leave the first round with one of the best pass blockers and pass rushers in the draft. This should ve viewed as a succes. |
| 8 |
Atlanta |
WR Garrett Wilson Ohio St. |
Least kept secret in the draft is that Atlanta needs WR help. Wilson is a great option to add alongside Kyle Pitts. |
| 9 |
(T)Pittsburgh |
QB Kenny Pickett Pitt |
In a desperate move Pittsburgh trades up to land the local Pitt product. This is a reach and will be viewed long term as a bust. |
| 10 |
NY Jets |
WR Drake London USC |
London would have broken multiple WR records had he not broken his ankle midway through the year. He is the next Mike Evans. |
| 11 |
Washington |
S Kyle Hamilton Notre Dame |
Hamilton slides due to position value but he will be a starter in the league for a long time. |
| 12 |
Minnesota |
CB Ahmad Gardner Cincinnati |
Gardners numbers this last year were insane. Minnesota fills a huge need at CB. |
| 13 |
Houston |
CB Derek Stingey Jr. LSU |
Texans again go with BPA and Stingley who if can remain healthy has all pro ability. |
| 14 |
(T) LA Chargers |
OT Charles Cross Miss St. |
Chargers really need to protect Justin Herbet. Cross has work to do as a run blocker but is a pass blocking pro. |
| 15 |
Philadelphia |
WR Jamison Williams Bama |
Eagles go back to the Bama WR well after the success Devanta Smith had. Williams can stretch the field for this offense. |
| 16 |
New Orleans |
WR Chirs Olave |
New orleans needs weapons for whoever plays QB. Olave has been under valued his whole life. |
| 17 |
(T) Baltimore |
DT Jordan Davis Georgia |
Sometimes players just fit teams. Davis seems destined to play for the Ravens. |
| 18 |
Philadelphia |
LB Devin Lloyd Utah |
Lloyd was all over the field during his career at Utah. He will be the perfect disrupter for the Eagles defense. |
| 19 |
New Orleans |
OT Trevor Penning Northern Iowa |
Saints fill a need at OT with Penning. He seems to be rising up draft boards ahead of the draft. |
| 20 |
(T) Seattle |
OG Zion Johnson BC |
Seattle deparately needs to fix their Offensive Line. Johson is a mauling run blocker and you know Pete Carrol loves to run the football. |
| 21 |
New England |
WR Traylon Burks Arkansas |
New England could very well trade back but if not they need to get Mac Jones a weapon. |
| 22 |
Green Bay |
DE George Karlaftis Iowa |
Worst case for Green Bay as the top WRs are off the board. Karlaftis adds some pash rush to the defense. |
| 23 |
Arizona |
CB Trent McDuffie UW |
The Cardinals have had tons of success with DBs from UW. Might as well add in another. |
| 24 |
Dallas |
OG Kenyon Green TAMU |
Dallas is a trade up candiate for a WR. But they are best when they have a strong line and run game. |
| 25 |
(T) Cincinnati |
C Tyler Linderbaum Iowa |
Despite his success Joe Burrow was sacked the most in the league. They move up to add some help to keep him healthy. |
| 26 |
Tennessee |
LB Nakobe Dean Georgia |
Titans add the leader of Geogia’s historical defense. Can’t be viewed as a bad thing. |
| 27 |
Tampa Bay |
DT Devonte Wyatt Georgia |
Some people like Wyatt more than Jordan Davis. Tampa pairs him with Vita Vea to form a scary run stuffing defense. |
| 28 |
Green Bay |
WR George Pickens Georgia |
Pickens would have been top 15 pick if healthy. He is very raw but has one of the highest ceilings at the positon. A new toy for Arod. |
| 29 |
Kansas City |
CB Andrew Booth Clemson |
Kansas city’s defense was not good last year. Booth had some ups and downs but has skillset to be a solid corner. |
| 30 |
Kansas City |
DE Boye Mafe Minnesota |
This pick should help take the pressure off of Chris Jones up the middle. Mafe has the tools. |
| 31 |
(T) Buffalo |
CB Kaiir Elam Florida |
Bills need depth at CB in an otherwise stacked roster. |
| 32 |
(T) Seattle |
QB Matt Corral Ole Miss |
Seahawks moves back into round 1 to select Corral to compete with Drew Lock and Geno Smith. |
