1. Carolina Panthers - Will Campbell (OL)
It would be concerning if the Carolina Panthers considered replacing Bryce Young already. However, we're hopeful that Young will show sufficient promise this season, persuading the Panthers to concentrate on strengthening their offensive line instead. Opting for Will Campbell with the first overall pick would be a strategic move.
2. New England Patriots - Travis Hunter (WR/CB)
The New England Patriots have been looking to add skill position players to their roster this offseason. Whether Travis Hunter ends up in their secondary or as a wide receiver won't ultimately matter, he's a difference maker.
3. Denver Broncos - Mason Graham (DL)
The Denver Broncos can build a formidable defense, but their success depends on selecting wisely with their early draft picks during their rebuild. Mason Graham emerges as an excellent candidate who could greatly improve their defensive line.
4. New York Giants - Carson Beck (QB)
There's a compelling case to be made that Carson Beck is the most NFL-ready quarterback in the draft. Considering the New York Giants' clear need for a quarterback, drafting Beck would be a sensible decision.
5. Tennessee Titans - Kelvin Banks Jr. (OL)
One clear area that the Tennessee Titans should be looking to upgrade is their offensive line. Kelvin Banks Jr. is a high-end prospect in that regard, which should jump off the page for the Titans here as their selection.
6. Washington Commanders - James Pearce Jr. (DL)
The Washington Commanders continue to look toward building a formidable defense with their top 10 selection. James Pearce Jr. is a clear standout pick as a real candidate to build a defense around.
7. Las Vegas Raiders - Shedeur Sanders (QB)
The Las Vegas Raiders have not yet identified their future starting quarterback among the current roster. Despite some uncertainties surrounding Shedeur Sanders, the Raiders should consider his considerable potential upside.
8. New Orleans Saints -Deone Walker (DT)
Deone Walker does a lot of the things that the New Orleans Saints covet on defense. With another standout season at Kentucky, Walker can solidify his position at a potential top 10 draft pick.
9. Minnesota Vikings - Will Johnson (DB)
It's hard to envision Will Johnson sliding out of the top 10 with all the talent he possesses. The Minnesota Vikings have some real needs in their secondary and pounce on the opportunity to draft Johnson here.

10. Arizona Cardinals - Benjamin Morrison (CB)
Benjamin Morrison continues to excel at Notre Dame, establishing himself as a major asset in their secondary. With another impressive season for the Fighting Irish, he is poised to land within the top 10 picks, likely aligning with where Arizona is expected to select.
11. Seattle Seahawks - Harold Perkins Jr. (LB)
Harold Perkins Jr. has the potential to be a top selection in this draft class. Given the depth of talent in this class, some players are bound to drop, which could benefit the Seattle Seahawks in this scenario.
12. Indianapolis Colts - Luther Burden III (WR)
This draft class boasts numerous skilled pass catchers projected to be selected early in the first round. Luther Burden III, one of the premier prospects, appears to be an ideal match for the Indianapolis Colts.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Emery Jones Jr. (OL)
As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers committed heavily to quarterback Baker Mayfield, it's logical to strengthen his protection and improve the run game by bringing in Emery Jones Jr.
14. Pittsburgh Steelers - Emeka Egbuka (WR)
If the Pittsburgh Steelers don't add a wide receiver via trade this season, it would be prudent to use a high pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Emeka Egbuka would be an outstanding selection in that range.
15. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jonah Savaiinaea (OL)
It's essential for the Jacksonville Jaguars to continue enhancing their offensive line. Considering their substantial investment in Trevor Lawrence, acquiring a talent like Jonah Savaiinaea would be a wise decision.
16. Los Angeles Chargers - Tetairoa McMillan (WR)
Following last year's revamp of their wide receiver group, the Los Angeles Chargers plan to further this overhaul by bringing in Tetairoa McMillan. Although this move may not fully align with Jim Harbaugh's preferred strategy for asset allocation, McMillan's outstanding talent is too significant to ignore.
17. Cleveland Browns - Mykel Williams (DL)
The Cleveland defense boasts many strengths, including a robust secondary, Myles Garrett, and this addition of Mykel Williams from Georgia. The Browns are effectively building on their defensive capabilities, where they already sit amongst the best in the NFL.
18. Los Angeles Rams - Abdul Carter (LB)
While it's not optimal to suggest a team is searching for a replacement for a retired legend, the Rams indeed need assistance in that department. They are addressing this by drafting Abdul Carter to fortify their defense.
19. Chicago Bears - Kenneth Grant (DL)
The Chicago Bears have the potential to build something special on offense. Even though their defense is also on the rise, adding a talent like Kenneth Grant here makes too much sense to pass up.
20. Atlanta Falcons - JT Tuimoloau (DE)
After a surprise selection in the top 10 during the 2023 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons don't waste anytime here by selecting one of the top defenders available on the board in JT Tuimoloau.
21. Miami Dolphins - Tyleik Williams (DT)
The Miami Dolphins could use more support on their defensive line. Tyleik Williams has the qualities that make him a perfect match for the Dolphins' requirements.
22. New York Jets - Evan Stewart (WR)
With numerous quarterbacks still on the board, the New York Jets find themselves in a position to make a very funny selection. Rather than opting for a quarterback, they select skilled wide receiver Evan Stewart.
23. Green Bay Packers - Jabbar Muhammad (DB)
The Green Bay Packers have various options to consider at this point in the draft. Should a player of Jabbar Muhammad's caliber still be available, his array of desirable traits makes him an attractive prospect for the Packers.

24. Houston Texans - Nic Scourton (LB)
Following an impressive season at Texas A&M, it wouldn't be surprising if Nic Scourton is already taken by this stage. However, as things stand, the Houston Texans acknowledge his worth and take the opportunity to draft him here.
25. Dallas Cowboys - Jack Sawyer (DE)
It wouldn't be surprising to see the Dallas Cowboys bolster their linebacker corps in this range. Jack Sawyer has multiple standout qualities that the Dallas Cowboys should covet.
26. Buffalo Bills - Tacario Davis (CB)
The Buffalo Bills could use some fresh talent in their secondary, and Tacario Davis from Arizona is an ideal fit, especially late in the first round.
27. Philadelphia Eagles - Barrett Carter (LB)
It's not hard to envision the Philadelphia Eagles coveting a player with Barrett Carter's skillset. If Carter has another strong year at Clemson, there's a lot to like about his potential value at this range of the first round.
28. Cincinnati Bengals - Isaiah Bond (WR)
Should Tee Higgins exit in free agency next year, it wouldn't be surprising for the Cincinnati Bengals to select another skilled wide receiver. Isaiah Bond is well-suited for this role.
29. Detroit Lions - Princely Umanmielen (DE)
Princely Umanmielen has been generating significant interest for a while. Although his draft stock has slightly declined as the draft approaches, the Lions opt to bet on his potential.
30. Baltimore Ravens - Tyler Booker (OL)
It's early days, but Tyler Booker and the Baltimore Ravens appear to be an excellent fit. It wouldn't be surprising to see this pairing come to fruition on draft night.
31. San Francisco 49ers - Ajani Cornelius (OL)
The San Francisco 49ers' offensive line is getting older. Anticipating possible roster adjustments, the 49ers choose to solidify their core by selecting Ajani Cornelius.
32. Kansas City Chiefs - Anthony Belton (OL)
At this juncture, the Kansas City Chiefs have multiple choices. They opt to enhance their offensive line by selecting one of the top OL prospects in the draft, Anthony Belton.
