I don’t expect any surprises with the first overall selection. The
Bengals get their guy.

School: Ohio State | Year: Junior

I’m sure the
Redskins will have plenty of offers, but they simply can’t pass on an opportunity to get
the best player in the draft.

School: Ohio State | Year: Junior

Although there’s building support for
Derrick Brown, I’m sticking with the top cornerback in the draft.

School: Iowa | Year: Junior

The
Giants have needs all over the defense, but they must upgrade the O-line first.

School: Oregon | Year: Senior

Herbert, Tua or offensive tackle? I think the healthier quarterback will be the choice.

School: Alabama | Year: Junior

The
Chargers could also go
Isaiah Simmons in this spot. It will likely depend on their medical evaluation of Tua’s hip.

School: Clemson | Year: Junior (RS)

This could also be a spot for
Derrick Brown or a trade back. I think Simmons would be a perfect fit with the way Matt Rhule likes to build his teams. Speed!

School: Alabama | Year: Junior

I know they need help on defense, but the
Cardinals can’t run the offense they want to run until they get better up front.

School: Auburn | Year: Senior

PROJECTED TRADE WITH JAGUARS. The
Falcons have been making a lot of calls about trading up. Most assume it’s for CJ Henderson, but I could see them making a move for a difference-maker on the D-line.

School: Georgia | Year: Junior

Thomas could go as high as the fourth overall pick, but I don’t see him falling past the
Browns.

School: Louisville | Year: Junior

The
Jets could opt for the top WR or trade down, but Becton’s upside is too tempting.

School: Oklahoma | Year: Junior

Lamb is just too good of a fit to pass up. However, if the
Raiders aim to wait until Round 3 (they currently have no second-round selections) to draft a receiver, then CJ Henderson could be the pick here.

School: LSU | Year: Junior

The
49ers will likely trade back with one of their two first-round selections. If they stay here, Jefferson could be the surprise pick. His route-running savvy and toughness match up well with San Francisco’s setup.

School: Alabama | Year: Junior

The Bucs have a glaring need at RT and I could see them trading up to secure one. However, if they stay put at No. 14, Jeudy is a fun choice. Put him in the slot and add to
Tom Brady‘s embarrassment of riches.

School: Alabama | Year: Junior

The
Broncos are another potential trade-up team. Ruggs’ speed complements
Courtland Sutton beautifully.

School: South Carolina | Year: Senior

PROJECTED TRADE WITH FALCONS. The Jags trade down and still get their man. Kinlaw replaces
Calais Campbell on the D-line.

School: Florida | Year: Junior

Henderson could end up going in the top 10 on Thursday night. He is an outstanding cover man, but his tackling is a concern.

School: USC | Year: Junior

The
Dolphins‘ O-line is a mess right now. Jackson might need some time to develop, but he has high-end upside at left tackle.

School: Clemson | Year: Junior

In this scenario, I believe the choice comes down to Terrell or
Trevon Diggs. Either player is a good fit.

School: LSU | Year: Sophomore (RS)

The
Jaguars continue to upgrade their front. Chaisson improved every week this past season.

School: Oklahoma | Year: Junior

I know the
Eagles would love to add a speed receiver, but with the top options off the board, Murray is too good to ignore.

School: Utah | Year: Junior

I believe Johnson is one of the most underrated players in the draft. I love his toughness and ball skills.

School: Notre Dame | Year: Junior

Kmet could sneak into the first round as the top tight end in the class. He would help the
Patriots‘ run game as well as provide a security blanket for Jarrett Stidham/
Brian Hoyer.

School: TCU | Year: Junior

Reagor is a polarizing player in personnel circles. His play speed is legit, but his inconsistent hands are a concern. He would replace the speed element the
Saints had with
Ted Ginn Jr.

School: Penn State | Year: Junior

I know the
Vikings have a WR need, but they also must add another edge rusher to play opposite
Danielle Hunter.

School: Michigan | Year: Junior

I wouldn’t be shocked if the
Dolphins doubled up on offensive tackle here (think: Isaiah Wilson). However, Ruiz is
the top interior OL in the draft and he’ll start on Day 1.

School: Alabama | Year: Senior

This almost seems fruitless. I’m sure the
Seahawks will trade out of this pick. They always do.

School: Georgia | Year: Sophomore (RS)

Wilson replaces
Jack Conklin at right tackle. This is earlier than
I have him graded, but the buzz has been building on this hulking blocker for the past few weeks.

School: Arizona State | Year: Senior

This could be the spot for
Jordan Love. If the
Packers pass on him, though, Aiyuk is a perfect fit in their offense.

School: TCU | Year: Senior (RS)

Gladney is a feisty playmaker who would give the
49ers some much-needed youth/speed in the secondary.

School: TCU | Year: Junior (RS)

Coach Andy Reid and GM Brett Veach will always value and invest in the trenches. Blacklock is explosive and could be the replacement for franchise-tagged DT
Chris Jones if the
Chiefs decide to trade him.
