Round 1
Cardinals:
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan 
They would have liked Mykel W., but Grant is a fine pick.
Saints:
Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss 
(from SEA) I think most teams might have Sanders as QB2, but his bad luck is the Saints are the next to take one.
Giants:
Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado 
(from DEN) This is a prime spot for a QB swap up, even if we don't know if the Steelers would take Sanders. Pick #65 plus a little something more. The Broncos could also stay put and take Loveland or Hampton.
Steelers:
Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon 
They won't mind this pick at all unless they really wanted Dart or Sanders.
Bills:
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
(from MIN) Beane has done this trade-up twice recently, and they have 10 picks to the Vikings four. Buffalo's two 4ths would do it. I'm a Bills fan and I'd rather they take the best of DT, Edge, CB - or even Safety or speed demon WR - at #30.
Ravens:
Malaki Starks, S, Georgia 
Safety 1 should be determined be style: Starks is rangier, Emmamwori is bigger. Kyle Hamilton can move closer to the LOS with Starks hanging deep.
Lions:
James Pearce Jr., DE/OLB, Tennessee 
The roster is obviously good. Biggest concern is they can't afford to keep all those young studs. Their defense will be better just by being healthier, but still, this is a good pick. Alternatively, they could take OG Tyler Booker.
Commanders:
Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina 
He could go ~10 picks earlier. Egbuka is a possibility as well.
Vikings:
Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina 
(from BUF) Unless they really want Starks instead, this would definitely count as a good trade down for the Vikes.
Chiefs:
Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State 
A lot of people have them going D-line, but did you watch the Super Bowl?
