1. Tennessee Titans – Abdul Carter DE Penn State
Our expectation is that the Titans will ultimately trade this pick—to the Browns or maybe the Giants—as someone comes up for Cam Ward. Whether they stick-and-pick or trade down slightly, Carter should be the Titans’ target. Which is why we won’t see them move far down the board.
2. Cleveland Browns – Cam Ward QB Miami
The Browns may get impatient and trade up one spot to ensure they land Ward. We’re told the team does like Shedeur Sanders, but that Ward is the belle of the ball in their eyes and a player they’d be willing to trade up for.
3. New York Giants – Travis Hunter ATH Colorado
Hunter and Malik Nabers together on offense while he starts at cornerback? Yeah, that sounds fun. The Giants need a quarterback, but with GM Joe Schoen and HC Brian Daboll on a very hot seat, we expect a veteran starter with a rookie added for development.
4. New England Patriots – Kelvin Banks Jr. T Texas
The lack of love around Banks in the NFL shocks us. He started for three years at Texas and allowed exactly one sack in each of his seasons there. The Georgia game wasn’t great, but it also wasn’t as bad as it’s made out to be. Banks is a plug-and-play left tackle at 6’5” with 33 1/2” arm length.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Mason Graham DT Michigan
Graham doesn’t check all the boxes from a measurables standpoint but he sure does check all the football boxes when watching his tape. Graham is a disruptor who constantly collapses and blows up blockers. Wide receiver could be an option here, too.
