Round 1

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

No Brainer, they get their Qb of the future after trading away fields. I would have kept fields, trade back for a solid qb Daniel's, Maye, Nixon, McCarthy and collect more capital and draft oline help.


2. Vikings: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

TRADE ALERT---- vikes send picks 11, 23, 157 for Washington's 2nd overall and a 4th rd pick in 2025 and MN gets the Qb of the future. McCarthy is all talk of MN, BUT they gotta make JJ happy to keep him there so they guarantee a qb of his likely amd nothing better than a Qb from LSU. Daniel's put up insanse stats last year everyone is saying it's not enough and he could be one year wonder but look at Burrow after one year at LSU.


3. Patriots: Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina

Patriots although tempted with trading back, they need to get a qb and with tip two options gone, they can't risk dropping too far and missing out on next two. Maye is a big body qb with a strong arm and can take over this team.


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

Cardinals need someone to catch passes next year since trading Moore. Get yourself the most all around talented WR in the class. Getting Williams in free agency helps oline issues but could get that help with their 2nd 1st rd pick.


5. Broncos: J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan

TRADE ALERT-- Denver sends san diego their 12th, 76th, and 2nd in 2025 for Chargers pick. INNER division trade probably inlikely but i don't care i like it. After having done absolutely nothing but tank since he took over in Denver and traded away all assets they bring in a QB of the Future. Drafting JJ McCarthy would fill a need and give them something to grow on.also with Harbaugh in San Diego it would be salt in the wound having to go against his old QB.


6. Giants: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Getting a wr is gonna be big, they can't find a trade partner since 4 qbs off board so they take all around great route runner Odunze. He can also fly, very fast in and out of breaks.


7. Titans: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame

They're handing the Keys to the offense to Levis and they don't have big rb Henry anymore. After helping out the inside oline they pick up the safest and highest floor OT in the draft. Alt will keep Levis clean, and help open holes for Pollard.


8. Falcons: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

Raheem Morris had a background in coaching secondary so makes sense he's drafting one 1st rd. Drafting Mitchell helps a secondary that needs it, pairing him with AJ Terrel gives them to solid corners


9. Bears: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State

Good they have their RT in last years drafting now they get their LT. Fashanu is a monster of a man and very athletic. He will help Williams stay upright something they forgot to do for fields. Getting a Wr like Nabers or TE bowers would be intriguing. But ultimately settled on this.


10. Jets: Taliese Fuaga, G/OT, Oregon State

Getting Fuga gives the Jets a massive interior oline man. After getting g mike williams that checks wr off, but Bowers also seems like a solid choice. But with injury history they go with a safe olineman.


11. Commanders: Jared Verse, DE, Florida State

They let sweat, young leave last year and drafted corner 1st last year although they need another. But getting Verse gives them a pass rusher to replace what they lost.


12. Chargers: J.C. Latham, OT, Alabama

Harbaugh builds throw the trenches and Latham is a massive man. Getting him at right tackle gives them a pair of solid tackles to help Herbert stay up. Nabers could have also been a pick here.


13. Raiders: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU

I could see Pierces first draft go defensive, but with no solid option beyond Adams, and letting Renfrow leave Nabers js a perfect fit.


14. Saints: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Saints are a mess and taking any players could be a fit. Trading back would make sense to get more capital but landing best TE in draft gives Carr a great target and top 3 talent in draft overall. Getting him at 14 could be a steal.


15. Colts: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU

You cant teach his size. At 6'4" Thomas is a massive Wr they can pair with recently signed Pittman giving returning Qb Anthony Richardson a large pair of targets.


16. Seahawks: Troy Fautanu, G/OT, Washington

Keeping the local player in state. Fauranu fills a huge need as their line got decimated this offseason. And with Carroll gone who knows how their drafts go.
