It has arrived. We are completely ready for the first night of the draft. This night will change 32 young men’s lives forever. With this being said, I’ll keep this quick so you can get back to scrolling through Twitter to look for some rumors about what will happen.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travon Walker; EDGE, Georgia. 

I hate this pick, a lot. Travon Walker has skyrocketed up mocks ever since the combine, but why? While he is a freak athlete, there are so many metrics that do not favor him over the likes of the other top pass-rushers. I am not at all kidding when I say there are at least 10 players I would rather take here than Walker. 

2. Detroit Lions: Aidan Hutchinson; EDGE, Michigan. 

The Michigan man gets to stay in the state that watched him turn into one of the biggest superstars at the college level. Aidan Hutchinson will be rushing the quarterback and taking kneecaps (not literally, that would be roughing the passer). 

3. Houston Texans: Derek Stingley Jr; CB, LSU. 

There have been so many reports over the last few days making this pick seem like a “shocker.” Derek Stingley Jr. has made a lot of impressions among the NFL community ever since his electric pro day a few weeks ago. Houston should just take the best player available, and Stingley could very well be that guy. 

4. New York Jets: Kayvon Thibodeaux; EDGE, Oregon. 

Kayvon Thibodeaux is still the best pass rusher in this class. The Jets are rumored to be looking at a tackle here, but I can’t pass on someone who could be an ELITE edge rusher at the NFL level. He explodes off the line of scrimmage and will show people how wrong they were for not having him higher on their boards.

5. New York Giants: Ikem Ekwonu; OT, NC State.

The Giants have had some talks about moving one of their top seven picks, but players like Ikem Ekwonu don’t fall to them this often. The ownership has made it clear they have not done a good enough job of putting Daniel Jones in a good situation, and this would change that narrative tremendously.

6. Carolina Panthers: Evan Neal; OT, Alabama. 

I will say this one last time: if the Panthers passed on Justin Fields last year for Jaycee Horn, they will pass on Malik Willis or Kenny Pickett for a tackle. The last thing Matt Rhule should want right now is a rookie quarterback who probably won’t have instant success, causing the fanbase to come for his head. Evan Neal is GOOD.

7. New York Giants (via CHI): Jermaine Johnson II; EDGE, Florida State. 

After addressing the offensive line at five, the Giants keep the narrative of trenches winning ball games. Jermaine Johnson II is regarded as maybe the best pure rusher by some in this class, which is very high praise when you look at who his competition is. 

8. Atlanta Falcons: Garrett Wilson; WR, Ohio State. 

Whether this pick is Garrett Wilson or maybe Drake London, Atlanta needs to address the receiver room. Kyle Pitts is phenomenal, but Wilson makes that offense a heck of a lot better (especially with Calvin Ridley gambling his season away). 

9. Seattle Seahawks (via DEN): Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner; CB, Cincinnati. 

Seattle isn’t ready for a young quarterback. What that team needs outside of a new head coach is some sauce. More specifically, some Sauce Gardner. 

10. New York Jets (via SEA): Drake London; WR, USC. 

The Jets are another team who are likely to address the receiver position early. While Drake London may not be my personal preference when you see the remaining players, he will no doubt help Zach Wilson develop in his second year with the Jets.

11. Washington Commanders: Kyle Hamilton; S, Notre Dame. 

If Kyle Hamilton is available, he is quite possibly the pick. If he isn’t, this is a trade down in hopes of getting Chris Olave. So no matter what, Washington is prepping to get a heck of a player.

12. Minnesota Vikings: Jameson Williams; WR, Alabama. 

Justin Jefferson and Jameson Williams on the same offense is straight up unfair. While receiver may not be the biggest need his team has, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah may be in a position to make a jaw-dropping pick in his first draft.

13. Houston Texans (via CLE): Charles Cross; OT, Mississippi State. 

Houston probably wants a tackle at three, but getting one of the top-three guys at 13 will suffice. Charles Cross can play on the right side while Laremy Tunsil anchors the left side, giving Davis Mills a clean pocket so he can throw some dimes.

14. Baltimore Ravens: Jordan Davis; IDL, Georgia.

While I don’t like the value at all, Jordan Davis seems like a fit in Baltimore. Maybe the Ravens don’t love any of the defensive backs and decide to dip into the trenches as many teams have already in this mock. 

15. Philadelphia Eagles (via MIA): Trent McDuffie; CB, Washington.  

Trent McDuffie is easily the best run-supporting corner in this class. Philly will get him to play opposite of Darius Slay and further improve that hopeful “No Fly Zone” Eagles secondary. Sounds pretty good to me.

16. New Orleans Saints (via PHI): Chris Olave; WR, Ohio State.  

The Saints may not have their quarterback (yet), but when they do find one who will suffice for a long period of time, they will be throwing to a consistent and dependable guy in Chris Olave.

17. Los Angeles Chargers: Trevor Penning; OT, Northern Iowa. 

Another player I’m not high on but will go near this range. The Chargers are going to look to keep Justin Herbert upright so he can give the Chargers the best chance of contending they’ve had in some time. Trevor Penning is an aggressive tackle who needs to work on some key details during the offseason to improve for his team.

18. Philadelphia Eagles: Devin Lloyd; LB, Utah. 

Devin Lloyd runs like he is half his size, but hits like he is double it. He is one of the smartest players on the field who knows what the offense is going to do before the play is even called.

19. New Orleans Saints: Malik Willis; QB, Liberty. 

Congratulations New Orleans, you found your guy. Malik Willis is by far the best quarterback in this draft, including his tremendous upside that raises your ceiling as well as his if the situation is ideal. Willis will hopefully have a healthy Michael Thomas, as well as Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara to hopefully keep the Saints on the right track for now.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kenny Pickett; QB, Pitt. 

Well just as Aidan Hutchinson will not be going far from his school, Kenny Pickett will get to play his home games at the same stadium as he did in college. While I do believe that their preference would be Malik, Pickett is a great consolation prize.

21. New England Patriots: Kaiir Elam; CB, Florida. 

New reports are coming out that Kaiir Elam is highly touted by a lot of NFL scouts. New England is a team that lost JC Jackson this offseason and is still trying to find a full-time replacement for Stephon Gilmore after his departure from the franchise.

22. Green Bay Packers (via LV): Zion Johnson; IOL, Boston College.

The Packers won’t take their receiver right here. What they’ll want to focus on is getting a versatile offensive lineman who can play wherever they need him to, which fits the bill for Zion Johnson. If Josh Myers isn’t ready to play center, Zion can play there with ease just as well as he could if he was at his natural position of guard.

23. Arizona Cardinals: George Karlaftis; EDGE, Purdue. 

Getting a powerful rusher like George Karlaftis on a team with JJ Watt sounds like a great idea. While Watt may not be in his prime anymore, what he can do is help mentor and develop Karlaftis into a superb player.

24. Dallas Cowboys: Tyler Linderbaum; IOL, Iowa. 

Although I think the better player between Tyler Linderbaum and Kenyon Green is the latter, Dallas is going to want to take the “bigger name.” This just seems like a Jerry Jones pick to me.

25. Buffalo Bills: Daxton Hill; DB, Michigan. 

Daxton Hill is an athletic defensive back who may have played safety in college but can easily find his way to playing outside corner until Tre’Davious White returns from injury.

26. Tennessee Titans: Desmond Ridder; QB, Cincinnati. 

Desmond Ridder is a younger, cheaper, and slightly worse Ryan Tannehill. He doesn’t raise your ceiling, but he isn’t an awful quarterback. While I disagree with the pick, it is seeming more likely by the day this selection becomes a reality.

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kenyon Green; IOL, Texas A&M. 

Tampa gets one of the best guards in the draft (viewed as the best by some) to replace Ali Marpet, who retired during the offseason. I could also understand another versatile defensive back here, but Kenyon Green is TOUGH to pass up at 27.

28. Green Bay Packers: Quay Walker; LB, Georgia.

In Joe Barry’s 3-4 scheme, I would assume the Packers would take the super athletic linebacker in Quay Walker over Krys Barnes. While Barnes has shown some improvement since arriving in Green Bay, he is far from what you would want as a starter on what they would want to consider an elite defense.

29. Kansas City Chiefs (via MIA): Treylon Burks; WR, Arkansas.

Patrick Mahomes throwing deep balls to Treylon Burks, sign me up. Burks obviously won’t be able to fill the hole left by Tyreek Hill, but having him alongside Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster makes for a solid core of receivers to compete with alongside Travis Kelce.

30. Kansas City Chiefs: David Ojabo; EDGE, Michigan. 

I wouldn’t be shocked if David Ojabo found his way back into the first round. While the Achilles injury is brutal, a team like the Chiefs who can afford to wait a year for a talent like him may think that he can be stellar when he returns to the field, which he most certainly can be.

31. Cincinnati Bengals: Devonte Wyatt; IDL, Georgia. 

I was really torn between Devonte Wyatt, Lewis Cine or Andrew Booth here. I went with Wyatt because I like a lot of the options Cincinnati could take in the second round with cornerbacks compared to some of the defensive tackles that would be projected in that range. 

32. Detroit Lions (via LAR): Sam Howell; QB, North Carolina. 

If you thought I was going to change this pick after having it consistently for a few months, you are mistaken. I will die on this hill that Sam Howell is a Detroit Lion.
