Pick	Team	Player	2024 Stats	Commentary
1	Jacksonville Jaguars	WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado – 6’1, 185 lbs	92 rec, 1152 yards, 14 TD	Competition is fierce, but for right now, Jacksonville is still in the top spot. This would be a great chance to trade down a pick or two with a quarterback needy team and pick up additional draft capital. I do not project trades though, so it is Travis Hunter, the best and most special talent in college football, going here. It will be up to the coaching staff to figure out how to use the likely Heisman trophy winner. Do you play him at slot receiver? Cornerback? some of both? Whatever they decide to do, Hunter will be a dynamic play maker and give long suffering Jaguars fans something to cheer for.
2	Las Vegas Raiders	QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado – 6’2, 215 lbs	337-454, 3926 yards, 35 TD, 8 INT	From what I have read, Shedeur Sanders and his family would love for him to wind up in Las Vegas, and the feeling from the franchise is mutual. I rank Sanders as the top quarterback in this class by a pretty comfortable margin. Say what you want to about his attitude and off the field interests. He is a fierce competitor, great leader, accurate, tough and experienced. He may never be better than a glorified version of Geno Smith, but he is the one quarterback in this class I feel pretty confident about.
3	New York Giants	QB Cam Ward, Miami – 6’2, 223 lbs	293-435, 4125 yards, 36 TD, 8 INT	The Giants franchise has been an abomination since Eli Manning retired. The team finally moved on from Daniel Jones, and will do whatever it can to land either Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward in the draft. I do not love Ward as a prospect, but I think he will make a fine starting quarterback in the NFL. His three school college career has been a remarkable tale of twists and turns, and he will end it as one of the most accomplished passers the NCAA game has seen in quite a while. He has thrown for 155 touchdowns.
4	New England Patriots	WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona – 6’5, 212 lbs	84, 1319 yards, 8 TD	Drake Maye looks like the real deal, as a tough, dual threat quarterback The next step for New England would be to surround him with offensive weapons and competent pass blockers. Either receiver or offensive tackle would be the way to go here, but I give the edge to Tetairoa McMillan here. The Patriots have the most vanilla group of skill position players in the NFL, and McMillan would really help out Maye, as well as making the New England offense a little more pretty to look at. Arizona has had a miserable season, but that is not the fault of McMillan, who looks like a young Mike Evans.
5	Carolina Panthers	OLB Abdul Carter, Penn State – 6’3, 259 lbs	54 tackles, 10 sacks	Bryce Young may not ever look the part of a number one overall pick, but he has played well enough since regaining his starting spot that the Panthers can look elsewhere with their 2025 draft picks. The pass rush in Charlotte has been particularly anemic. Abdul Carter has taken over the Micah Parsons/Chop Robinson role for Penn State quite well, delivering 10 sacks and racking up 54 tackles. He would be an ideal fit as a 3-4 edge rusher in Carolina’s defensive scheme.
6	New York Jets	CB Will Johnson, Michigan – 6’2, 202 lbs	14 tackles, 2 INT	Despite loading up on veterans, it has been another lost year for the Jets. New York will bring in a new front office and coaching staff, so it is impossible to guess what direction they will go in. Will Johnson is the best player available here, and the Jets would be thrilled to pair him with Sauce Gardner, especially if DJ Reed leaves as a free agent.
7	Tennessee Titans	OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas – 6’4, 320 lbs	N/A	Will Levis is not a long term option at quarterback, but with the top two gone here, Tennessee is forced to go a different direction. Despite spending first round picks on the offensive line in recent years, it is still a weak spot, especially at right tackle. Kelvin Banks Jr. is over-qualified for the position, but could make the line a real strength. He is agile, athletic and has quite a bit of experience blocking for future NFL quarterbacks.
8	Cleveland Browns	OT Will Campbell, LSU – 6’6, 320 lbs	N/A	Quarterback is the biggest need for Cleveland, but I am just not a believer in Jalen Milroe or any other available player at this point. The Browns have a few other big needs, especially at offensive tackle, where the disappointing Jedrick Wills will be a free agent. There are rumblings that Will Campbell may be a better fit at guard because of less than ideal measurables, but I think he will be just fine at left tackle. Either way, he is a very talented prospect that will fill a huge need.
9	Cincinnati Bengals	DT Mason Graham, Michigan – 6’3, 320 lbs	46 tackles, 3.5 sacks	The Bengals sit at 4-8 on the season, and it’s safe to say it is not because of the offense. The defense has taken a monstrous step back this year, and reinforcements are needed pretty much everywhere. Mason Graham is one of the more complete defensive tackle prospects we have seen in the draft in quite a while. He has the ability to get after the quarterback as well as hold up against the run.
10	New Orleans Saints	DE Mykel Williams, Georgia – 6’5, 265 lbs	17 tackles, 3 sacks	Age and a long term trip to salary cap hell has decimated this franchise. New Orleans simply needs to draft the best player available here in hopes of replenishing some talent. Mykel Williams looked like a top five lock after a dominating freshman season at Georgia, but has not quite been able to build upon that success. Still, he is as talented as any player in this class and could shoot back up the board with an expected dominating pre-draft showing..
11	Chicago Bears	DE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee – 6’5, 243 lbs	35 tackles. 7.5 sacks	Chicago’s defense has been solid in 2024, but adding a pass rusher to compliment Montez Sweat could take it to another level. James Pearce Jr. will need to bulk up to handle playing defensive end full time, but he has the pass rushing ability to help out a defense right away. The quick, twitchy Pearce Jr. has 19 career sacks.
12	Miami Dolphins	DE Nic Scourton, Texas A&M – 6’4, 285 lbs	31 tackles, 5 sacks	The Dolphins pass rush has been a trouble area all year. It is difficult to rely on Jaelan Phillips going forward. While Chop Robinson looks like the real deal, more help is needed. Nic Scourton may not be the run stopper the team needs, but he is big and strong enough to play end in Miami’s 3-4 defense, and would provide some much needed pass rush as well.
13	Dallas Cowboys	RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State – 5’9, 215 lbs	312 carries, 2288 yards, 28 TD	Ashton Jeanty to Dallas is the most popular mock draft pick out there, and it is easy to see why. Dallas is at its best with a dominating running game, and Jeanty has had one of the very best running back seasons in NCAA history. I do worry about the amount of carries Boise State has put on his legs, but he should be a tremendous back during the length of his rookie contract.
17	San Francisco 49ers	DT Kenneth Grant, Michigan – 6’3, 339 lbs	28 tackles, 3 sacks	Injuries continue to decimate the 49ers, which has exposed an alarming lack of young depth on the roster. San Francisco should just draft the best player available. Kenneth Grant may be overshadowed by Mason Graham as far as Michigan defensive tackles go, but he is a first rounder in his own right. He owns rare athleticism for a 340 pound defensive tackle.
13	Indianapolis Colts	CB Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame – 6’0, 190 lbs	20 tackles	The Colts have one of the deeper rosters in the NFL, and can make some noise if they are able to properly develop Anthony Richardson. Secondary is the biggest need on the roster, and thankfully Benjamin Morrison is here for the taking. Morrison’s junior year was mostly a wash, but I do not think his draft stock will suffer much. He may not have the size of Will Johnson, but is a tremendous athlete and has a nose for the ball, as evidenced by his 9 career interceptions.
15	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	OLB Jalon Walker, Georgia – 6’2, 245 lbs	49 tackles 5.5 sacks	The Buccaneers have a few decent edge rushers on the roster, but no one that puts fear in the hearts of opposing quarterbacks. Jalon Walker may not be the pure pass rusher Tampa Bay needs, but he is a very good overall linebacker, with the strength to hold up against the run and the quickness to get after the quarterback on occasion.
16	Los Angeles Rams	OT Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota – 6’6, 330 lbs	N/A	Despite going seven years without a first round pick, the Rams have drafted well enough to plug quite a few holes on their roster. Offensive line remains a need area, however, with both starting tackles set to become free agents. Aireontae Ersery does not have the name recognition of some of the other offensive linemen in this class, but continues to rise up the board as a safe, ready to contribute option for teams needing a young blindside protector.
18	Arizona Cardinals	DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss	48 tackles, 6.5 sacks	Arizona has a playoff worthy offense, but the defense is still a work in progress. Walter Nolen, the top overall recruit a few years ago, has really started to put things together during his junior season at Ole Miss. He is up to 6.5 sacks on the year, and is a rare talent as far as defensive tackles go. He could be a true difference maker at end in Arizona’s 3-4 scheme.
19	Atlanta Falcons	OLB Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss – 6’4, 255 lbs	34 tackles, 10.5 sacks	Atlanta finally had a breakthrough on defense, getting to Justin Herbert five times. More help is needed in that area, however. Princely Umanmielen may be a bit of a reach here, but the one thing he does is rush the quarterback, as evidenced by his 25.5 career sacks.
20	Seattle Seahawks	OG Tyler Booker, Alabama – 6’5, 325 lbs	N/A	Charles Cross is a keeper at left tackle, but it would be correct to say that Seattle could use an upgrade at each of the other four positions along its offensive line. Tyler Booker is the best pure offensive guard in this class. Alabama is an offensive line machine, and he is experienced and tough.
21	Washington Commanders	WR Luther Burden III, Missouri – 5’11, 208 lbs	61 rec, 676 yards, 6 TD	The Commanders and Jayden Daniels have cooled off a bit after a blistering start to the season, showing there is still a lot of work to be done in Washington. It is always wise to surround your young quarterback with as much talent as possible. Terry McLaurin is the real deal, but the talent level behind him leaves a bit to be desired. Luther Burden III was unable to build off of a great sophomore season, but he remains a tough, dependable route runner with a knack for getting into the end zone.
22	Houston Texans	DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon – 6’5, 310 lbs	36 tackles, 1.5 sacks	Houston is the best of the worst that is the AFC South, but this roster still has quite a bit to work on. Most notably, additional defensive line help. Derrick Harmon is a rare late season addition to my mock draft. The redshirt junior has a nice blend of power and pass rushing ability. He would be a nice fit sandwiched in between Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr.
23	Denver Broncos	TE Colston Loveland, Michigan – 6’5, 245 lbs	56 rec, 582 yards, 5 TD	Things are quickly looking up in Denver. The defense has been very solid, and Bo Mix has made progress by the game. Imagine if he had a full compliment of pass catchers at his disposal. The Michigan passing game has been a disaster, but Colston Loveland has been slump-proof. He is an athletic target hog who has been the entire Michigan offense at times.
24	Baltimore Ravens	OG Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona – 6’5, 330 lbs	N/A	Baltimore will always a team that needs to draft very well, since it does not often use free agency to plug holes. Ronnie Stanley is an upcoming free agent, and the interior of the line has been a weakness as well. Jonah Savaiinaea plays tackle for Arizona, but is an ideal guard at the NFL level. He is stout and powerful.
25	Los Angeles Chargers	DE Jack Sawyer, Ohio State – 6’5, 260 lbs	46 tackles, 4.5 sacks	The Chargers defensive front seven is old and needs an injection of youth. Jim Harbaugh saw Jack Sawyer first hand during his time in the Big 10. Sawyer may not be a pure pass rushing terror, but is one of the better overall defensive lineman in college football. He is a very solid run defender, and has the agility to chase down ball carriers and get after the quarterback on occasion.
26	Pittsburgh Steelers	CB Shavon Revel Jr., East Carolina – 6’3, 193 lbs	8 tackles, 2 INT	Joey Porter Jr. has taken a huge step back this year for Pittsburgh, routinely giving up big plays and racking up a ton of penalties. He is still quite talented, but may be a bit over-matched as a CB1. I do worry about Shavon Revel Jr. coming off of a season ending injury, however, he officially declared for the draft and obviously feels good about his prospects going forward. He may need to sit and heal, but at this point in the draft, could be a steal. He offers rare length and quickness for the position.
27	Green Bay Packers	CB Denzel Burke, Ohio State – 6’1, 193 lbs	41 tackles, 2 INT	The Packers may have the deepest roster in the NFL. It is tough to find obvious needs. Eric Stokes is an upcoming free agent that will most likely not be resigned, which could open up a spot in the secondary. Senior Denzel Burke has slowly worked his way into the first round, and looks like a nice bet to carve out a long career in the NFL.
28	Minnesota Vikings	SS Malaki Starks, Georgia – 6’1, 205 lbs	65 tackles, 1 INT	Minnesota has four upcoming free agent cornerbacks, making the secondary by far the biggest need on the roster. Unfortunately, the last two first round types just went ahead of the Vikings, so they pivot to safety here. Harrison Smith is nearing the end of what has been a fantastic career, and Malaki Starks would make an ideal replacement. He has elite ball skills, as evidenced by his six career interceptions.
29	Philadelphia Eagles	DE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M – 6’6, 290 lbs	31 tackles, 1.5 sacks	The ageless Brandon Graham suffered a season ending injury, and may have finally played his last down for the Eagles. Even so, Philadelphia likes to employ a deep rotation of pass rushers. Shemar Stewart may be listed at 6’6, 290 pounds, but he has the agility to line up from the outside. He could also bulk up and play some end, giving Philadelphia a nice backup that could line up at multiple positions.
30	Buffalo Bills	WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State – 6’1, 205 lbs	60 rec, 743 yards, 9 TD	The Bills passing game has been just fine without Stephon Diggs, but Emeka Egbuka may be too talented to pass up this late in the first round. While he was never quite able to duplicate his CJ Stroud led 2022 season, he is a reliable, safe route runner who has a knack for getting into the end zone.
31	Kansas City Chiefs	OT Wyatt Milum, West Virginia – 6’6, 317 lbs	N/A	The Chiefs struck gold when they drafted Trey Smith in the late rounds a few years ago. He is an upcoming free agent, and with so much of the cap tied to Patrick Mahomes, will be very tough to resign. Wyatt Milum is quite experienced and could slide right into Smith’s old spot.
32	Detroit Lions	DE JT Tuimoloau, Ohio State – 6’5, 269 lbs	38 tackles, 6 sacks	The Lions are a team built to contend now, so bringing in an experienced pass rusher could be a good move. JT Tuimoloau never quite developed into a top pass rusher, but still has 17 career sacks and is solid against the run as well.
