Round 1
Titans:
Cam Ward, QB, Miami 
No brainer for this one. Cam Ward and the Titans have been paired together since the Combine and he's a great fit for their offense.
Browns:
Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado 
Newsome is in the last year of his contract and J. Jeudy the only threat at WR the Browns need both a #2 CB and #2 WR and can be both.
Giants:
Abdul Carter, OLB, Penn State 
This was a tough one for me between Carter and QB S. Sanders but I think with all the QB's the Giants have under contract (albeit with very low pay) the Giants will ultimately take a QB in the 2nd round.
Patriots:
Will Campbell, OT, LSU 
Despite his short arms I thought Campbell played well at LT last season, second only to the LT at Penn State from what I saw. The Patriots have no LT so they have to take one and Campbell is the highest rated one.
Jaguars:
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State 
Coen comes from the Bucs who leaned on a great RB and running scheme to make B. Mayfield look even better than the previous season. He'll do the same with Lawrence by drafting Jeanty, an elite college RB whose skills will translate well to the NFL.
Raiders:
Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona 
The Raiders are thrilled to have McMillan fall into their laps after the Patriots pass on him. They have a big need for another starting WR. They'll run the card to the podium on draft night.
Jets:
Mason Graham, DT, Michigan 
This guy is a crowd favorite, he plays the run well (but inconsistently) and he does have a very high motor. However, he's not a productive pass rusher, has poor metrics and his body type is not conducive to rushing the passer. The Jets have shown interest in him for better or worse and Graham is projected to go in the top 10.
Panthers:
Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia 
The Panthers have nothing on the edge of their D-line and Walker made several stand-out splash plays at Georgia, particularly against OT Banks from Texas who a lot of teams love. So I see Walker getting drafted before Banks.
Saints:
Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina 
Bad shoulder or not, the Saints are paying D. Carr too much to have him sit on the bench all season so I think the Saints will take a long-term solution in the 2nd round. Meanwhile their secondary is decimated and the Honey Badger is old and in the last year of his contract. Emmanwori is both productive and a workout warrior so he's worthy of being taken this high.
Bears:
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri 
This is another prospect that rose quickly up the board based on measurables, but that happens every draft year and the Bears need to add a LT to give Caleb even more projection than they already picked up in FA.
49ers:
Kelvin Banks, OT/G, Texas 
The 49ers need help in the trenches on both sides of the ball, but Banks presents the best value at this spot for the remaining prospects. I think the 49ers will start Banks out at OT and only move him to OG if he can't hack it outside.
Cowboys:
Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M 
The Cowboys seem very focused on brining in their type of pass rusher based on their focus for player visits. Stewart checks all the boxes for size/speed/strength, but not the one that counts the most...sacks. ***Nolan***The *** need someone on the D-line who can stay healthy, put pressure on the QB AND stop the run. Nolen will be the first who can do all three.
Dolphins:
Tyler Booker, G, Alabama 
This is my favorite O-lineman in the draft. The Dolphins have to protect Tua and open up bigger holes for Achane and Booker can do both at an elite level.
Colts:
Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Everyone close to the NFL has been 'shipping Warren and the Colts together and I can't see Warren slipping any further than this.
Falcons:
Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia
Is this the year where the Falcons finally end up with an elite DE. Maybe, but I believe Williams will at least be pretty good. Plus, he's a local guy and will be a fan favorite.
