Round 1

Picks 1-16 Picks 17-31
1.
Bears Bears:
C.J. Stroud , QB , Ohio State
I have him QB1 and most ready to play. I’ll change my mind when forced to by evaluators post pro days.
2.
Colts Colts:
Bryce Young , QB , Alabama
Picks 4,35,79 and 2024 2nd. It’s a lot to give up for a QB who weighs 195. Houston needs the picks not being a ideal destination
3.
Cardinals Cardinals:
Jalen Carter , DT , Georgia
Perfect fit for need and talent. Unless prison time comes into play
4.
Texans Texans:
Will Anderson , DE , Alabama
Gotta love getting a top 2 pick at 4 with ammo to trade up and down the draft board
5.
Seahawks Seahawks:
Tyree Wilson , DE , Texas Tech
2nd favorite prospect in the draft. Seattle really challenges the West with a revamped D. Any of the top FA QBs can lead this offense if Geno leaves somehow
6.
Lions Lions:
Lukas Van Ness , DE , Iowa
It’s hard to fill in his name here this early. Murphy or a CB seems to early as well. I’m buying the hype that he will blossom into a great player while being a upgrade in year 1.
7.
Raiders Raiders:
Peter Skoronski , OT/G , Northwestern
It just feels like a great fit. I’m thinking he can be a plus right tackle or elite guard.
8.
Commanders Commanders:
Will Levis , QB , Kentucky
Picks 16, 47 and 2024 3. His floor is ok but worried about his ceiling. He can replace Howell by halftime week 1.
9.
Bears Bears:
Paris Johnson , OT , Ohio State
Picks 9, 61 and 2024 3 for Fields and pick 132. Not a great tackle class but the Bears have severe protection issues. Focus on D can be through FA and 2024 draft
10.
Eagles Eagles:
Christian Gonzalez , CB , Oregon
Fills a need. Hard to settle on him, Witherspoon or Porter Jr. I think they are all worthy gambles.
11.
Lions Lions:
Joey Porter Jr. , CB , Penn State
Pick 18, 55. Lions fill a big need. Defense was better at the tail end of last year and adding to it so far won’t hurt.
12.
Texans Texans:
Jordan Addison , WR , USC
More safe than sexy. Adding talent to a barren roster. I think they can get a top FA QB. They all could be 3-5 year buy-ins
13.
Jets Jets:
Brian Branch , S , Alabama
My favorite prospect. Slot, FS, tackles, no measurable weakness(yet).
14.
Patriots Patriots:
Darnell Wright , OT , Tennessee
I think he starts right away at either spot. I want to trade back but they’d lose the player and haven’t drafted well in middle rounds
15.
Packers Packers:
Michael Mayer , TE , Notre Dame
Seems like a good spot and a need. Helps the run game and last years WR haul get less attention.
16.
Falcons Falcons:
Quentin Johnston , WR , TCU
Boom or bust again. They need help even as a run first team with a very questionable QB. Julio Jones comparisons are a bit wishful thinking
