The Titans had the worst passing attack in the NFL in 2024, and after securing the 1st overall pick in the 2025 draft, it appears they are zeroing in on Cam Ward to be their next franchise quarterback atop the draft.

Colorado

The Browns seem estined to pass on Shedeur Sanders at No. 2, possibly targeting him later via trade or in Round 2. Hunter, this writer's top prospect in the 2025 NFL draft, is a truly special player with a rare skill-set, high character and generational two-way talent, excelling at both cornerback and wide receiver.

Penn State

Like Cleveland, the Giants seem poised to take the best player available rather than reach for a quarterback. Abdul Carter has thrived since switching from linebacker to edge rusher, showcasing elite production, football IQ, and athleticism—making him a potential future All-Pro.

LSU

With Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter likely to go in the top-3, the Patriots would likely pivot to addressing their offensive line, which is amongst the worst in the entire league. Will Campbell is a terrific prospect with elite skills and athleticism, providing a high floor and Pro Bowl calibre ceiling. However, his shorter arm length makes him an outlier at LT in the NFL that may force him to being a guard long-term.

For months, consensus has pointed to a defensive line or offensive line selection, but as the draft approaches, momentum has shifted sharply toward Ashton Jeanty. This writer has consistently mocked Jeanty to the Raiders and remains hesitant to move off the pick so close to draft day. However, with Charlie Campbell, Adam Schefter, and Dan Brugler all connecting the dots between Jacksonville and Jeanty, I feel confident making the change.While drafting a running back in the top 10 remains a fiercely debated topic, Jeanty’s elite vision, dynamic pass-catching ability, sheer power, and relentless tackle-breaking skills position him as a potential game-changer at the next level. With Travis Etienne set to hit free agency after this season, the Jaguars may see Jeanty as their future at the position.

Missouri

If Jeanty goes in the top five, the Raiders would likely pivot to Armand Membou or Mason Graham and target an OSU running back in early R2 to pair with OC Chip Kelly. In this writer's opinion, Graham is not an elite prospect and shares too many similarities with high-priced free agent signing Christian Wilkins to justify selecting him at No. 6. Meanwhile, Membou stands out as this writer's top-ranked offensive lineman (OL1) and could be a seamless fit at right tackle. While DJ Glaze performed well as a rookie, it’s unlikely he would deter the team from making a top-10 investment in a franchise tackle. Additionally, Glaze could slide inside to guard, allowing Powers-Johnson to move back to center. Membou's combine performance wasn’t just exceptional—it was historic—drawing comparisons to elite athletic specimens like Trent Williams and Tristan Wirfs. Paired with what is arguably the best offensive line tape of 2024 and the physical ability to transition to left tackle if needed, Membou presents a rare combination of talent, versatility, and athleticism. The Jets at 7 now appears to be his floor.

Michigan

The Jets’ dream scenario likely hinges on Armand Membou falling to them at No. 7. The fit is seamless—New York has just one glaring hole along an otherwise strong offensive line, and Membou would address it perfectly. If Membou is off the board, Mason Graham seems like a safe fallback option, slotted next to Quinnen Williams to solidify the interior defensive line. However, in this writer’s opinion, Graham is overrated as a top-10 prospect. While widely regarded as the draft’s premier defensive tackle, there isn’t universal agreement—Charlie Campbell reports that several teams have Kenneth Grant ranked as their top DT. Graham offers a high floor as both a run-stopper and pass rusher. However, lingering concerns about his athletic limitations and questionable body composition raise doubts about his ceiling. Compared to other elite defensive tackles drafted in the top 10 in recent years, Graham carries a real risk of underperforming relative to his draft slot.

Georgia

Given the Panthers’ league-worst pass rush, selecting an edge rusher seems highly likely. Consensus points towards Jalon Walker being the pick here. This writer is not that high on Jalon Walker relative to others, viewing him more as a tweener than truly versatile; Walker might make an impact as a sub-package pass rusher but lacks polish for a full-time role. Equally, Walker is brimming with upside, and working with Ejiro Evero could be a good fit.

Penn State

Although a QB selection - namely Sheduer Sanders - wouldn't be a shock, the Saints desperately need to improve their offensive weaponry and could address QB on Day 2. Tyler Warren is a stellar receiving tight end option, delivering elite production and proving to be a functional to solid in-line blocker, Warren could be a high-level NFL starter for years to come.

Texas

With Ashton Jeanty likely gone in the top 10, the Bears turn to Kelvin Banks Jr. to reinforce their offensive line. Braxton Jones, though solid, is injury-prone and approaching a contract year. Banks, meanwhile, is becoming underrated as a prospect, boasting some of the best tacke tape in the draft and a likely worthy top-16 selection. Day 1, Banks offers versatility as a swing tackle or guard in case of injuries. By next season, he could secure a full-time starting role. This pick would be reminicisnt of their selection of Darnell Wright two years prior.

Georgia

San Francisco’s defense was abysmal this season, and their defensive line needs urgent attention in the early rounds of the 2025 draft. As a 49ers fan, this writer hopes the pick is Kenneth Grant or Mykel Williams, with Kelvin Banks Jr. being a wildcard if available as a solid zone blocking fit tackle. Shemar Stewart and Walter Nolen have have also been linked to San Francisco. Mykel Williams has gained traction heading into draft week, connected to every team picking from 8-11. Recognized for his scheme versatility, ideal size, explosive first step, and outstanding length, Williams has promising upside and a high floor relative to his young age (20 1/2). Williams must expand his pass-rush repertoire as a pro, but his ability to set the edge as a run defender will greatly appeal to San Francisco.

Arizona

The Cowboys have long relied on CeeDee Lamb as their offensive centerpiece, but their passing game is one-dimensional. McMillan brings a skill set reminiscent of Drake London or Mike Evans, combining size, physicality, and contested-catch ability. He stands out as one of the safer prospects in this draft, offering both a high floor and an impressive ceiling. McMillan is rumoured to be falling in the weeks leading to the draft, so watch this space.

South Carolina

The Dolphins have a litany of needs across their offensive line, defensive line and secondary. They are rumoured to like Malaki Starks, but Nick Emmanwori ranks highly on ones board and feels too good to pass on here. towering safety with exceptional coverage skills, ball-hawking ability, and remarkable athleticism—highlighted by his standout NFL Combine performance—Emmanwori has all the tools to excel at the next level. His impressive tape, elite physical traits, and dynamic abiltiy to play deep or in the boxmakes him a terrific replacement for Jevon Holland.

Michigan

The Colts are in a nice position to select BPA here, and relative to their weak tight end room, one has to believe Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland will be at the top of that list. Worthy of a top-16 selection in this writer's opinion, Loveland is neck and neck with Warren as TE1 in this impressive class the position. Loveland is a quality receiving tight end prospect with terrific route running, an impressive catch radius and high-level athleticism.

Tennessee

The Falcons' heavy focus on quarterbacks in the 2024 draft left their pass rush, which managed just 31 sacks last season, largely neglected. Fixing this glaring issue must be a priority in the upcoming draft. If Atlanta misses out on both Georgia pass rushers, James Pearce Jr. could be an excellent scheme fit. As a prospect, Pearce possesses top-10 upside, showcasing elite athleticism, dangerous quarterback hunting ability and rapidly improving run defense. However, Pearce’s draft stock remains volatile due to persistent concerns about his character and makeup. He could land anywhere from the top 20 to the early second round, depending on how teams evaluate him. For a Falcons squad in desperate need of pass-rush help, he may be a gamble worth taking.

Michigan

The Cardinals find themselves in an enviable position here, selecting purely based on BPA, landing a CB1-caliber talent in Will Johnson. While he remains a strong candidate to be drafted in the 6-10 range, concerns about his play speed have reportedly caused hesitation among teams, potentially leading to a slide on draft day. For Arizona, this is a Christian Gonzalez-type scenario—a gifted, solid starting cornerback whose value might be underestimated by teams picking ahead. Johnson would instantly elevate the Cardinals' secondary, becoming the best cornerback on their roster and a potential cornerstone for their defence.
