1st

The Jaguars will and should take a long look at Neal regardless of where they pick inside the top 10. He's a gigantic athletic marvel at left tackle.

Round 1 - Pick 2

Michigan • Sr • 6'6" / 265 lbs

Projected Team
Detroit
PROSPECT RNK
7th
POSITION RNK
3rd

Hutchinson wasn't spectacular against Georgia, but he has the best combination of size, power, athleticism, and pass-rushing moves at the edge rusher spot in this class.

Round 1 - Pick 3

Oregon • Soph • 6'5" / 258 lbs

Projected Team
Houston
PROSPECT RNK
2nd
POSITION RNK
1st

Thibodeaux could easily add 15 pounds to his frame, which he'll likely need to do once he reaches the NFL. But his burst and high-level flashes are already special.

Round 1 - Pick 4

Mississippi State • Soph • 6'5" / 310 lbs

Projected Team
N.Y. Jets
PROSPECT RNK
29th
POSITION RNK
5th

Cross is a freaky smooth athlete who was outstanding protecting his edge of the Mississippi State offensive line in 2021. He just turned 21 in November. Major potential in this prospect.

Round 1 - Pick 5

Pittsburgh • Sr • 6'3" / 220 lbs

Projected Team
N.Y. Giants
PROSPECT RNK
2nd
POSITION RNK
1st

I could totally see Joe Judge adoring Pickett during the pre-draft process and the next GM wanting "his guy" at quarterback.

Round 1 - Pick 6

Liberty • Jr • 6'1" / 195 lbs

Projected Team
Carolina
PROSPECT RNK
30th
POSITION RNK
3rd

The Panthers have to find their quarterback, or Matt Rhule's going to be out as head coach. Willis' project label will buy the current regime more time, and Willis is easily the most naturally talented quarterback in this class.

LSU • Jr • 6'1" / 195 lbs

Projected Team
N.Y. Jets
PROSPECT RNK
3rd
POSITION RNK
1st

NC State • Soph • 6'4" / 320 lbs

Projected Team
N.Y. Giants
PROSPECT RNK
12th
POSITION RNK
1st

Round 1 - Pick 9

Notre Dame • Jr • 6'4" / 219 lbs

Washington
PROSPECT RNK
1st
POSITION RNK

Atlanta
PROSPECT RNK
6th
POSITION RNK

Projected Team
Denver
PROSPECT RNK
27th
POSITION RNK
3rd

The Broncos ran through a bunch of linebackers in 2021 due to injury, and Dean is the finest second-level defender in the class.

Round 1 - Pick 12

Ohio State • Jr • 6'0" / 192 lbs

Projected Team
Minnesota
PROSPECT RNK
8th
POSITION RNK
1st

Given Adam Thielen's age and the fact his 2021 ended on injured reserve, the Vikings should be looking at more receiver help opposite Justin Jefferson. Wilson is a high-end prospect.

Round 1 - Pick 13

Ohio State • Sr • 6'1" / 188 lbs

Projected Team
Cleveland
PROSPECT RNK
16th
POSITION RNK
2nd

Olave is silky smooth when attempting to get open and is quietly an awesome wideout in contested-catch situations.

Utah • Jr • 6'3" / 235 lbs

Projected Team
Philadelphia
PROSPECT RNK
20th
POSITION RNK
1st

Alabama • Jr • 6'2" / 189 lbs

Projected Team
New Orleans
PROSPECT RNK
24th
POSITION RNK

Baltimore
PROSPECT RNK
17th
POSITION RNK
3rd

Gardner feels like a Ravens type of cornerback. In-your-face, physical, dynamic in man coverage.

Round 1 - Pick 17

Ole Miss • Jr • 6'2" / 205 lbs

Projected Team
Pittsburgh
PROSPECT RNK
POSITION RNK

Corral may fall due to his leg injury, and the Steelers would be smart to scoop him up at this juncture of Round 1.

Florida • Jr • 6'2" / 196 lbs

Projected Team
Las Vegas
PROSPECT RNK
26th
POSITION RNK

Round 1 - Pick 19

Clemson • Jr • 6'0" / 200 lbs

Projected Team
Philadelphia
PROSPECT RNK
11th
POSITION RNK
2nd

Booth has light feet and crazy ball skills. The Eagles could add more youth to their secondary.

Round 1 - Pick 20

Penn State • Sr • 6'3" / 256 lbs

Ebiketie is chiseled, with great burst, and a stellar array of pass-rushing moves. Nice piece opposite Joey Bosa in Los Angeles.

Iowa • Jr • 6'3" / 290 lbs

Projected Team
Philadelphia
PROSPECT RNK
33rd
POSITION RNK
5th

Projected Team
Miami
PROSPECT RNK
37th
POSITION RNK
7th

Rainmann is going to be a big riser during the pre-draft process because of his size, length, and athleticism. The Dolphins' offensive line investment continues.

Round 1 - Pick 23

San Diego State • Jr • 6'5" / 270 lbs

Thomas has steadily improved his production at San Diego State, and the Patriots could use another rusher opposite Matthew Judon on the outside.

Round 1 - Pick 24

Arkansas • Jr • 6'3" / 225 lbs

Projected Team
Arizona
PROSPECT RNK
22nd
POSITION RNK
4th

Burks is a power forward who's a nightmare to corral in the open field. Another weapon for Kyler Murray.

Round 1 - Pick 25

USC • Jr • 6'5" / 210 lbs

Projected Team
Buffalo
PROSPECT RNK
23rd
POSITION RNK

Cincinnati

13th
POSITION RNK
3rd

Projected Team
Dallas
PROSPECT RNK
38th
POSITION RNK
7th

Bell has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past three seasons and would replace Michael Gallup in Dallas.

Auburn • Sr • 6'0" / 190 lbs

Projected Team
Tampa Bay
PROSPECT RNK
33rd
POSITION RNK
5th

The Auburn cornerback pipeline to Tampa Bay continues. McCreary would join fellow Tiger alums Jamel Dean and Carlton Davis in the Buccaneers' active secondary.

Kansas City
PROSPECT RNK
47th
