Clemson

The Titans would be devastated to have just missed out on Mayer, as they've been needing an elite tight end since Delanie Walker left. But failing that could they could look at replacing their leading tackler and interceptor David Long Jr, an impending free agent, and Trenton Simpson would be perfect for that role. He's a strong coverage linebacker and an excellent tackler. Seems like the sort of player that Mike Vrabel would love.

Alabama

Would it be wrong to say that the Jamal Adams experimental was a failure? He never seemed to be able to stay healthy, and even if he did, he didn't seem to fit their defense. It's time to move on from him, and they can do so by picking up the best safety in the class, Alabama's Brian Branch. Branch can play damn near every position in the back seven, and can be a strong anchor for their young, developing secondary.

LSU

It feels like the Ravens go wide receiver first round every other year, but none of them seem to stick. Hollywood Brown never clicked with Lamar Jackson, and Rashod Bateman hasn't broken out yet and given the Ravens offense a second dimension. I think he could be fine, but he needs someone to assist him, and Kayshon Boutte could be that other weapon. The man could blow the top off of defenses and secure tough catches. If he hadn't been hurt last year, Boutte could be in the same range as Quentin Johnston and JSN from earlier.

Florida

Last year, the Cowboys spent a first on a left tackle to replace La'el Collins. This year, they spent a first on a guard to replace Connor Williams, who they lost last year as well. The Boys always pride themselves on having a strong line, and this would make total sense to continue to open up holes for Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott. Torrence is a run blocking juggernaut, and could become a much stronger pass blocker in the Cowboys system that seems to never stop finding good linemen.

Utah

If I could describe the Vikings defense in a word, it would be "old". Harrison Smith, Patrick Peterson, Jordan Hicks, and Eric Kendricks are all past 30, and while they're all still at least solid, fresh blood in the secondary would be very good for them. Phillips is a strong playmaker, who can turn on a dime and strike when the receiver thinks they're safe.

North Carolina

The Chiefs receiver room is in a serious state of flux. Both Juju and Mecole Hardman are impending free agents, and the free agent class outside of them is rough this season. This is an issue that almost has to be resolved in the draft, and Josh Downs would make a solid addition to this team. Downs is on the smaller side of receivers, but his acceleration has to be seen to be believed. He can reach top speed in an instant and zoom past opposing defenders. Paired with a talent like Pat Mahomes at QB, Downs in this spot could offer Offensive Rookie of the Year upside.

Florida State

The Bengals have really fallen off this season in terms of rushing the quarterback. Trey Hendrickson is still on pace for double-digit sacks, but there's no one else aside from him. Jared Verse could step into that #2 pass rusher role quite well. He dominated at FCS Albany, and he hasn't missed a step in his likely only season as a Seminole, where he's amassed 7.5 sacks, and could be a guy who climbs the board all offseason.

Oklahoma

via San Francisco (and Miami)
The Broncos will eventually get people like Garrett Bowles, Tim Patrick, and Javonte Williams back next season, which makes selecting someone here a bit tricky. I suppose tackle is still in play here, since their right tackle situation has been sticky even at full strength, so let's give this spot to Anton Harrison. He's got good speed for a big man, and can be the lead blocker for long runs. Oklahoma has a history of good tackles, and Harrison could be next in that lineage.

Alabama

You guys, again? Don't you already have enough good players? Fine, how about an Alabama running back to make you even more unfair. Miles Sanders is an impending free agent, and you don't really need to tie down an ok running back like Sanders to a big extension. Say sayonara to him, and bring in Gibbs, an explosive, high-energy runner who can potentially be a difference maker for the Eagles immediately. There aren't many positions the Eagles can say that about, but this is definitely one of them if they lose Sanders.

Oregon

The Bills are a hard team to shop for, but they might be losing Trumaine Edmunds this season, and if Noah Sewell falls down this far to the Bills, it would be an absolute coup. Sewell is a massive dude who can make massive dude plays. He breaks opposing lines in half, and could be an absolute terror, especially if he's learning from an already beefy linebacker corps.

Alabama

The Texans are in a scenario where they just need to take the best player available and not get too cute, because they're bad all over. Their top pass rusher is 34 year old Jerry Hughes, and no one else on that defense has even four sacks through ten games; that isn't very sustainable. So take the best player in the class in Will Anderson Jr. and be happy. Anderson in a monster on both passing and rushing downs. He's an all-together complete player on launch, and would be a godsend for whoever gets him.

Northwestern

A lot of people are already writing Derek Carr off the Raiders, and personally, I don't see it. They would be insane to let Carr walk, they aren't getting better at quarterback unless they commit to a massive rebuild, and for a team that pushed all their chips in this season (figurately, thematically, AND literally), that would be a terrible idea. Plus, Carr's already said he's silver-and-black for life, so do the right thing, which is to re-sign him, and protect him. He's had atrocious edge protection for years. They tried and failed to fix it with Alex Leatherwood, try it again here with Peter Skoronski, the best tackle prospect to come out in years.

Alabama

The Kitties catch a lucky break as the two best non-quarterback prospects go 1-2, leaving them with their choice of who to take as the first QB off the board, and that depends on what you want from your quarterback, elite athleticism (CJ Stroud) or elite quarterback traits (Bryce Young). There's no wrong answer to that question, but Carolina's O-line is on the rise. They can give their quarterback time to throw, so in that case, take the one with the better arm, and that's Young. He's a confident thrower who can make precision passes that'll help this young offense start to purr.

TCU

Justin Fields running the ball 15-20 times a game is heckin' fun, but at some point, he's got to develop as a passer, and that requires either receivers or O-linemen to do so. If Skoronski were on the board here, I'd take him, but if not, the next best player at one of those spots is Quentin Johnson, an absolute beastly receiving specimen who draws favorable comparisons to Randy Moss. He's a man who go up and snag the ball from mid-air, and leave defenders looking foolish. Johnston would be the first step in unlocking Fields's true passing potential, and it would also screw over the Packers, a time-honored tradition.

Ohio State

It feels like the Steelers have been in need of a left tackle for years, and they just haven't been addressing it, letting the problem just get worse and worse as the years go by. Paris Johnson is just a one-year starter at left tackle for the Buckeyes, moving over from right guard last year, but has already been a stabilizing force from the departure of Nick Petit-Frere last season. Hopefully he can do the same for the Steelers at that spot.
