Short comments included for all 1st round picks. Also includes potential trades.

Round 1

Picks 1-16 Picks 17-32
1.
Caleb Williams , QB , USC
- No need to explain this one...unless a Mitch Trubisky-like "brain fart" happens again to Chicago...
- Whether it's Daniels, Maye or even McCarthy (which would be really stupid imo), Washington will take a QB here.
3.
Drake Maye , QB , North Carolina
- I don't think the Pats will take McCarthy, so it will either be Maye or Daniels here.
4.
J.J. McCarthy , QB , Michigan
- I honestly do believe that Minny is planning to trade up for McCarthy, who I'm not particularly high on.

- This move would set this franchise back some, because I think the best case scenario of this move is McCarthy turning into another Kirk Cousins.

- Simply put...you don't package multiple premium picks for a long shot at getting another Kirk Cousins, no matter how much you liked the guy!
5.
Marvin Harrison Jr. , WR , Ohio State
- The Chargers will be the biggest winners on Day 1 because they will end up taking, in my opinion, the best player in this entire class (this is coming from a diehard Buckeyes fan btw...)
6.
Malik Nabers , WR , LSU
- Not a bad consolation prize for the Giants thanks to all the QB needy teams
7.
Joe Alt , OT , Notre Dame
- Gotta protect Levis and Bill Callahan needs an anchor on the left side.
8.
Laiatu Latu , DE , UCLA
- Atlanta needs serious help with their pass rush. The only issue is there doesn't appear to be a definitive top guy in this position group.
9.
Prospect not selected
9.
Rome Odunze , WR , Washington
10.
Brock Bowers , TE , Georgia
- This really feels like an A-Rod pick, lol.
11.
J.C. Latham , OT , Alabama
- Bears trade down to acquire more picks and they get the franchise tackle for their new QB.
12.
Terrion Arnold , CB , Alabama
- Packers need a CB in the worst way and they trade up with Denver to get the best one in this class.
13.
Michael Penix Jr. , QB , Washington
- Call this a panic selection. There's at least one of these every year on Thursday night.

- The Raiders know that they can trade down about 10 spots and they'd likely still end up with Penix, but it seems that they just might play it safe...like a bunch of idiots...

- Similar to Bo Nix, Penix is an early 2nd round talent and the Raiders should feel safe in trading down just for the simple fact that Bo Nix can be a fall back option for them in case another QB needy team decides to be just as dumb and jump on Penix early.

- Unfortunately, it seems like the Raiders will only settle for Penix, with Nix not even being on their radar. I hope I'm wrong and they end up taking a tackle or a defensive lineman at #13, but this just feels like one of those years where a team is going to reach for a 2nd round QB prospect in the top half of the 1st round.
14.
Taliese Fuaga , G/OT , Oregon State
- Their top needs are on the offensive line,
15.
Quinyon Mitchell , CB , Toledo
- Indy needs a legit corner and they'd likely trade up for one, but they won't have to in this mock.
