They have been locked in on him from the start. Will he end up being their first true franchise passer since Sid Luckman? It’s been a long time, Chicago.

They have a great opportunity to land their quarterback, no matter which one they take. But I think the right one is Daniels and the word is they agree. He will be electric.

The Giants make the bold move to go up and get Maye, beating the Vikings to the punch. Daniel Jones can give you another year and this move might give the current regime a chance to stay on longer — and we know how that matters.

They had offers for this pick, but in the end I think they stay put and take Harrison. He would give Kyler Murray a true No. 1 receiver.

Alabama

• Jr

• 6’6″

/ 360 lbs

I put him here because Jim Harbaugh loves offensive linemen and I think he’s a better fit for what they want to do than Joe Alt, who is a left tackle. Latham is also a better run blocker, which is what Harbaugh loves to do.

The Patriots move down, add some picks, and still land a quarterback. McCarthy is a guy teams like a lot more than I do. The word around the league before the draft is that the Patriots really like him.

Notre Dame

/ 322 lbs

Tennessee

PROSPECT RNK

POSITION RNK

The Titans end up with their left tackle in this draft. Alt is a big, physical blindside protector for Will Levis. The Titans line would be so improved in 2024.

Alabama

They need to find and edge player and Turner has the tools to be a top pass rusher. I think his best football is coming on the next level. Their leading returning sacker from last season had six sacks. This would work.

They would be thrilled to see him fall to this spot. Nabers might be better than Harrison in the long run. This would be a great pick for Williams if it falls this way.

They could consider offensive tackle or even tight end Brock Bowers here, but I think they take a wide receiver in this spot to amp up the passing. Odunze would be a nice complement to Garrett Wilson for the long run.

The Vikings don’t make the move to get a quarterback and sit here and take Penix. I think this is a move that will work out well for them in the long run.

Alabama

Philadelphia

PROSPECT RNK

POSITION RNK

The Eagles go up to get the best corner in the draft. They had issues in coverage last year and age is creeping up in a big way at corner for them. Their pass defense has to improve.

Oregon State

Projected Team

Las Vegas

PROSPECT RNK

The Raiders need help at right tackle and Fuaga could be a plug-and-play guy. He would give them a physical mauler on the right side.

Penn State

Projected Team

New Orleans

PROSPECT RNK

They have major problems at tackle, so this makes a ton of sense. They get a left tackle who excels in pass protection, which is something they badly need.

Taking Bowers would give second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson a nice weapon to work with for the years to come. All young quarterbacks need a crutch and Bowers would be that for Richardson.

Texas

• Jr

• 6’1″

/ 308 lbs

Projected Team

Seattle

PROSPECT RNK

15th

POSITION RNK

1st

The Seahawks have to get a nice inside pass rush and Murphy is a lot like Baltimore’s Justin Madubuike, who was the key to the Ravens front. New Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald coordinated that Baltimore defense.

Toledo

• 6’0″

/ 196 lbs

Projected Team

Jacksonville

PROSPECT RNK

8th

POSITION RNK

1st

The Jaguars have issues at corner and Mitchell would give them a guy who can step in and play right away. Tyson Campbell is entering the final year of his contract and Ronald Darby isn’t a kid.

Georgia

• 6’7″

/ 340 lbs

Projected Team

Cincinnati

PROSPECT RNK

18th

POSITION RNK

They signed Trent Brown to a one-year deal to play right tackle, but Mims would be their guy for the long haul and may actually win the job next season. He doesn’t have a lot of experience, but the talent is there.

UCLA

• 6’5″

Projected Team

L.A. Rams

PROSPECT RNK

16th

POSITION RNK

The Rams need to amp up their outside pass rush, so taking the hometown kid would work. There is talk the Rams could be leaning offense, but with Latu here they would have to take him.

Duke

Projected Team

Pittsburgh

PROSPECT RNK

POSITION RNK

The Steelers have had a storied history when it comes to centers and they now have a hole there. Landing Barton would fill it as he moves inside from tackle.

Florida State

Projected Team

Miami

PROSPECT RNK

They have injury issues with their edge players, so getting one here would be a nice pickup. If Verse fell this far, they would likely race the card to the podium.

The Broncos move down, add some picks, and take a young quarterback in the Drew Brees mold. Sean Payton won a lot of games with Brees. They have to get a young passer.

Illinois

Minnesota

PROSPECT RNK

The interior of their defense lacks a player who can push the pocket. Newton can be that guy to give Brian Flores a nice inside player.

Washington

Projected Team

Dallas

PROSPECT RNK

23rd

POSITION RNK

1st

He can play guard or tackle, which would give them options on how they prefer to play Tyler Smith. If he is here in this spot, it would be a heck of pick.

Iowa

• 6’1″

Projected Team

Green Bay

PROSPECT RNK

POSITION RNK

They like guys who can be versatile and DeJean is that type of player. The Packers could also consider offensive line here, but I think DeJean makes too much sense.

Penn State

• 6’3″

/ 254 lbs

Projected Team

Tampa Bay

PROSPECT RNK

22nd

POSITION RNK

4th

They lack a dynamic edge player, although YaYa Diaby has talent, so why not add to it? Robinson might end up being the best pure edge rusher in this class. They also could move him all around the front seven.

Oklahoma

• Jr

• 6’7″

/ 328 lbs

Arizona

PROSPECT RNK

POSITION RNK

Getting a starting tackle this late would be a heck of a move. The Cardinals could then move Paris Johnson to the left side and let Guyton play right tackle.

He is big and can run, which the Bills badly need. They would consider edge or corner here, but Thomas fits a major need and would give Josh Allen a No. 1 receiver.

Washington State

Detroit

PROSPECT RNK

Hicks is the type of player who can do a lot of things, which is why I think he would be a good fit. They took Brian Branch last year and Hicks could provide more versatility for the back end.

Arizona

• 6’5″

/ 325 lbs

Projected Team

Baltimore

PROSPECT RNK

POSITION RNK

They could consider receiver Xavier Worthy here, but in the end I think their line needs more help. Morgan could play right tackle or slide inside to guard.

Missouri

• Sr

• 6’5″

/ 296 lbs

When in doubt, the 49ers like to pick defensive linemen in the first round. Robinson is an impressive looking edge who can slide inside on passing downs in some situations. He looks like a 49ers player.

BYU

• Soph

• 6’6″

/ 325 lbs

Projected Team

Kansas City

PROSPECT RNK

40th

POSITION RNK

8th

They pass on receiver here — they can get one or two later — to take a tackle who can step in and play on the left side. Tackle was a major issue last year for the Chiefs.
