This is a deep draft for Offensive Tackles and Wide Receivers. First round talent for Cornerbacks and Edge Rushers is also plentiful. I am predicting there will not be any trades in the 1st round unless MIN, DEN or some other team gets silly and offers the Patriots a Godfather offer. Las Vegas may include DaVante Adams in a deal if they can secure one of the top 3 QBs. Adams is expensive and on the other side of 30, so he is expendable.
1 CHI Caleb Williams QB USC – He is the consensus #1 pick.
2 WAS Jayden Daniels QB LSU – Classic misinformation rumors that Daniels doesn’t want to play in WAS!
3 NE Drake Maye QB NC – NE doesn’t get their Godfather “I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse” offer and settles for Maye. He will need a full year of tutelage and the rebuild will crawl on for a few years longer. Don’t expect some instant gratification.
4 ARI Marvin Harrison Jr WR Ohio St – Terrific athlete and will be a star in this league.
5 LAC Malik Nabers WR LSU – Nabers is a hair behind Harrison and will be a great target for Herbert. I expect LAC to double dip on Receivers.
6 NYG JJ McCarthy QB Michigan – Giants get their man and don’t have to give up any draft capital to get him.
7 TEN Joe Alt OT Notre Dame – As far as I am concerned, he is the star of this draft.
8 ATL Rome Odunze WR Washington – Another stud WR.
9 CHI JC Latham OT Alabama – Kinda surprised by CHI taking Latham this high.
10 NYJ Olumuyima Fashanu OT Penn St – I would have taken him over Latham. This helps the Jets and their poor OL. Plug and Play LT.
11 MIN Taliese Fuaga OT Oregon St – Thought they would have gone WR here.
12 DEN Brock Bowers TE Georgia – Lose out on QB but take the Best Athlete available.
13 LV Quinyon Mitchell CB Toledo – Best CB most fans don’t know. Shined in the Senior Bowl against top competition.
14 NO Dallas Turner ED Alabama – Best pass rusher and fills need for Saints.
15 IND Brian Thomas WR LSU – Another WR goes in the 1st and a LSU players as well.
16 SEA Jared Verse ED Florida St – Now starts the run on Edge players.
17 JAX Terrion Arnold CB Alabama – 1st of two Bama CBs
18 CIN Troy Fautanu OT Washington – Another stud OT. Thought the Patriots could get him.
19 LAC Byron Murphy ED Texas – 3rd of 6 EDGE players to go in the 1st.
20 PIT Cooper DeJean CB Iowa – PFF has him ranked #8 overall.
21 MIA Graham Barton OT Duke – Don’t think he will be a Tackle but end up at Guard.
22 PHI Laiatu Latu ED UCLA – was unblockable at the Senior Bowl
23 MIN Nate Wiggins CB Clemson – Ran a blistering 4.28 40 but at 6’1” 173 is slight and doesn’t play as well as his athleticism says he should.
24 DAL Amarius Mims OT Georgia – Solid Tackle should be in league for a long time.
25 ARI Kool-Aid McKinstry CB Alabama – Coming into 2023 season he was thought to be the top cornerback.
26 TB Adonai Mitchell WR Texas – Is he N’Keal Harry II?
27 ARI Chop Robinson ED Penn St – Extremely athletic edge rusher
28 BUF Darius Robinson ED Missouri – This Robinson played in the SEC and is little more battle tested.
29 DET Xavier Worthy WR Texas – I just don’t trust the Texas WRs. He has got the speed.
30 BAL Tony Franklin WR Oregon – Tremendous Junior season in 2023 with 81 catches 1343 yards and 14 TDs
31 SF Tyler Guyton OT Oklahoma – Massive Left Tackle with huge wingspan. He engulfs pass rushers.
32 KC Ladd McConkey WR Georgia – This is a crime to let Mahomes get a WR this good with the last pick in the 1st round. He can’t be covered and will be the Offensive Rookie of the Year if not All-Pro.
