Round 1

Picks 1-16
1. Bears: Caleb Williams, QB, USC

I can’t see a different prospect here, a different team maybe. Williams checks a ton of boxes in terms of NFL quarterback prospect. I’m not buying generalization talent.


2. Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

If their line continues to upgrade, I can see him starting day one. Howell had the weapons and talent, but zero time. Scrambling and size could be negatives for Daniels.


3. Vikings: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan

Trade #11, 23, 2025 1st, 4th for #3 and #137. A severe overpay for the talent but it’s a QB driven league. It seems the Vikings are poised for a trade up


4. Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State

Probably the best and most ready of the draft. A steal at #4


5. Chargers: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame

They need WR and TE and both prospects could be had here. Alt seems very safe and fills the Harbaugh building through the lines mentality


6. Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

Top 3 overall prospect, arguably. Seems like a plug and play 75-1,000 receiver with upside.


7. Broncos: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina

#12, 121, 2025 3 and 4 for #7 and 146. They need a cheap QB. A lot of pluses but the media scouts hate his footwork


8. Jets: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

#10 and 2025 3rd for #8 and 2025 5th. I wouldn’t have predicted this before the combine or FA but the Jets have plugged holes and Rome has certainly quieted any speed or quickness doubts


9. Bears: Dallas Turner, OLB, Alabama

A OL prospect would be ideal too. Turner could eventually be a bookend for Sweat. Turner is probably the best bet for the top defensive prospect.


10. Falcons: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama

If Mitchell goes here I’d have no beef. 1A in terms of CB prospect which fills a need.


11. Patriots: Tallies Fuaga, OT, Oregon State

Proved to be a tackle option at the combine. Pats need a LT amongst other high needs.


12. Titans: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State

Absurd line play last year. Fashanu should be a immediate improvement for Levis


13. Raiders: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

A RT upside fit. 8 starts/injury is a downside but a size/athletic trait is a top 15 prospect.


14. Bengals: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Bengals give up #18 and 80, 2025 4th for 14 and 150. Probably a top 5 prospect who fills a need especially if Higgins is traded.


15. Colts: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

With the Moore re-signing, outside corner is the need.


16. Seahawks: Jared Verse, DE, Florida State

Another 3 down option Edge for Seattle. DT Murphy or OL a option here as well
