His first-step quickness and ability to trim the edge make him a dangerous speed rusher, but he needs to develop counter moves and improve run defense to be a three-down player. Best suited as a designated pass rusher (DPR) or 3-4 OLB in an aggressive front where he can be deployed as a speed-to-power rusher off the edge. CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS High-End Starter Potential (65-69) A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years.

Rattler's journey from Oklahoma to South Carolina is one of significant growth and maturity. At Oklahoma, Rattler burst onto the college football scene as a freshman, drawing comparisons to Patrick Mahomes due to his mobility and arm talent. However, in his second year, he faced adversity after failing to develop as expected and was supplanted by incoming freshman QB Caleb Williams. After transferring to South Carolina, Rattler began to show growth. Playing behind a weak offensive line in 2023, he showed promise both in the pocket and on the run as a passer. He remains inconsistent and will need the right situation at the NFL level to succeed. I believe he has the potential to ascend into a top player in this class, but he must continue to work on his decision-making, footwork, and consistency as a passer. < Back Spencer Rattler South Carolina HT: 6010 WT: 218 YR: RSR POS: QB OVR RK 68 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 7 Low-Level Starter Potential PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Spencer Rattler is a mobile pocket passer known for his strong arm and ability to throw deep with accuracy and velocity. His mobility allows him to extend plays and make off-platform throws. However, he sometimes struggles with decision-making under pressure and can be inconsistent. Rattler fits best in a scheme that allows for creative play-calling and utilizes his mobility and arm strength. CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS Low-Level Starter Potential (55-59) A player with the upside to be a low-end starter or high-level backup within a couple of seasons. While they have solid physical tools, inconsistencies in technique, processing, or durability limit their ceiling. They are developmental prospects who may carve out a role as specialists or system fits.

Burks is physical at 6-3, 225lbs. He displays reliable hands; he can high point the football and excels in 50/50 situations. Burks is not a nuanced route runner, an area he must work to improve at the NFL level. He plays a high percentage in the slot where he gets a free release, but he needs to be more comfortable playing on the outside when required in the NFL. He could play predominantly in the slot, but that limits his versatility, especially as a bigger player that coordinators can move around to gain a mismatch. Burks has experienced issues gaining separation early in his routes, which is one reason he has played in the slot. When lined up out wide, he will need to rely on his ability to box out and make 50/50 plays vs. a defender, something that will be far more difficult in the NFL. < Back Treylon Burks Arkansas HT: 6030 WT: 225 YR: JR POS: WR OVR RK 34 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 7 Near Elite PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Burks is physical at 6-3, 225lbs.

We have compared Rondale Moore to Tyreek Hill, Steve Smith JR, Tyler Lockett, and Saquon Barkley. Moore defines speed in space, but he also defies logic at 5-9 180lbs; he reportedly can squat 600lbs, and it shows on the field. When he is not making a defender miss in a phone booth, he has the power to run through tackles. Moore can lineup all over the formation. He can flex out wide, in the slot, or the backfield. He is a good route runner. He is also a dynamic special teams player. The only knock is his health post-injury. It feels like forever since his incredible 2018 season, where he compiled 2000+ all-purpose yards. He did make his way back in 2020, and while he was not 100%, he showed once again why we believe he is worthy of being a first-round pick. < Back Rondale Moore Purdue HT: 5090 WT: 175 YR: JR POS: WR OVR RK 23 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 4 High-End Starter Potential PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT We have compared Rondale Moore to Tyreek Hill, Steve Smith JR, Tyler Lockett, and Saquon Barkley.

How We Grade: Breaking Down The Individual NFL Draft Player Grade Scale Consistent Evaluation Process for Each Player Each player we assess undergoes a consistent process that is tailored to their specific position. We're looking to establish their potential value for the NFL Draft. Every player is given a final or current grade as well as a potential ceiling grade. The final grade represents the player's worth before embarking on their first year in the NFL, while the potential ceiling grade gauges the player's possible future performance. Measuring Ceiling Grades There is no universal approach to calculating ceiling grades. In some instances, a prospect may be seen as a high-quality backup upon entering the NFL but simultaneously has the potential to become a top-tier starter. Some players may reach their ceiling in their first season, whether it's mid-way or towards the end, while for others, it may take 2-3 years. Timing Player's Peak Performance Is it possible to determine when a player reaches their anticipated ceiling grade? There isn't a foolproof way to predict the timeline for a player to reach their ceiling. It heavily relies on the team's circumstances and the particular areas of development the player needs to focus on as they start their NFL journey. However, we continually research and utilize the data we have to try and establish the most effective way to predict a player's potential and when they might realize it. Player Component Grading Scale Here's the grading scale we use for the individual crucial components for a player. Take for instance, the position of WR; one critical element we assess is their ability to run routes. If a player receives a Very Good (7) grade for their route running, it suggests they have NFL-standard route running skills, with the potential to develop this to an Elite (9) level under the right circumstances. 9-Exceptional The player effortlessly and consistently excels in this aspect every time. They display absolute mastery with no weaknesses, often accomplishing seemingly impossible feats. Their dominance is evident across all levels of competition. 8-Outstanding The player performs this aspect with ease and consistency, showcasing a high success rate. They exhibit no weaknesses and can effortlessly execute difficult plays. Their exceptional performance is noticeable against all levels of competition, and they have the potential to dominate. 7-Very Good The player effectively performs this aspect with a high success rate and occasionally demonstrates moments of brilliance. While they may not execute all great plays, they do showcase their abilities against all levels of competition. 6-Above Average The player typically performs this aspect in an effective manner but may display some inconsistency. They contribute solidly to a winning effort and can hold their own against top competition. They have a fair share of victories against players at the professional level. 5-Average The player performs this aspect in a satisfactory manner most of the time, although they may struggle against top competition. They meet the minimum requirements for this aspect. 4-Below Average The player performs this aspect adequately at times, but they often struggle against top competition. Their inconsistency in performance is evident, preventing them from achieving a higher rating. 3-Poor Below Average: The player fails to perform this aspect at an adequate level. They exhibit inconsistency and may even hinder the team's performance. If they do perform acceptably, it's usually against weaker competition. 2-Unacceptable The player has a significant deficiency in this aspect that they cannot overcome. Their shortcomings are evident and have a notable impact on their overall performance. 1-Very Bad The player lacks any redeemable qualities and does not meet the minimum standards in this aspect. NFL Draft Player Grade Scale Each category below has several different subcategories to identify the player's final and ceiling grade. Elite (75+) (Instant Impact Player) An elite prospect is a player who has the potential to be a difference-maker in the NFL. They have rare physical tools and athleticism and perform at a high level with ease and consistency. They show no weakness, and they can do the seemingly impossible on occasion. These players are typically the top picks in the NFL Draft and can be stars in the league. Near Elite (70-74) (Instant Impact Player) A near-elite prospect is a player who is projected to become a significant contributor by their second year in the NFL. They have elite physical tools and athleticism and perform at a high level with ease and consistency. They have some weaknesses, but they are not significant. These players are typically high first-round picks, and they have the potential to be stars in the league. High-End Starter Potential (65-69) A high-end starter potential prospect is a player who is projected to be among the top starters on their team within the second or third year in the NFL. They have good physical tools and athleticism and perform at a high level most of the time. They have some weaknesses, but they are not significant. These players are typically second or third-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league. Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64) A mid-level starter potential prospect is a player who is likely to be a mid-level starter on their team but with the potential to exceed expectations within 2-3 years. They have good physical tools and athleticism and can perform at a high level. They have some weaknesses, but they are minor. These players are typically fourth- or fifth-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league. Low-Level Starter Potential (55-59) A low-level starter potential prospect is a player who is expected to be a lower-level starter or high-level backup with some elite qualities. Development over 2-3 years is anticipated. They have good physical tools and athleticism, and they perform at a high level some of the time. They have some weaknesses, but they are not major. These players are typically sixth- or seventh-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league. Backup Level (50-54) A backup-level prospect is a player who is likely to serve as a career backup and fill specific roles on the team. They have good physical tools and athleticism, and they perform at a consistent level. They have some weaknesses, but they are not major. These players are typically undrafted free agents, and they have the potential to contribute to the team. Not NFL Level (<49) A player who is not NFL level is a player who is still at the NFL level and who could benefit from another year in college or in a developmental league. They have some physical tools and athleticism but perform at an inconsistent level. They have significant weaknesses, and they are unlikely to make an impact in the NFL. Player Grades Are Not One Size Fits All The NFL Draft Player Grade Scale provides a structured and consistent evaluation process, offering a nuanced understanding of each player's potential value. This system is tailored to specific positions, assigning both a current grade—reflecting the player's readiness for the NFL—and a potential ceiling grade—estimating long-term development. Assessing ceiling grades involves multiple factors, including a player's developmental trajectory and the team environment. Since some players reach their peak within their rookie season while others take years, predicting this timeline remains an ongoing challenge. By incorporating a detailed grading scale for key player attributes and overall draft value, this process helps differentiate talent levels and project future performance. The ability to measure both present ability and long-term potential ensures that teams can make data-driven draft decisions with greater confidence. This comprehensive evaluation system ultimately provides a valuable framework for identifying prospects who can maximize their impact at the next level.

2025 Senior Bowl Standouts: Top Risers & Key Takeaways from Practice Week, Shemar Stewart, Mike Green, Grey Zabel Had A Great Week Senior Bowl practices shape NFL Draft stock! Check out the top risers, standout performances, and key takeaways from this crucial week. The Senior Bowl isn’t just another college all-star game—it’s the single most important pre-draft event outside of the NFL Combine for evaluating prospects. While the game itself garners attention, the reality is that NFL scouts, general managers, and coaches put far more weight on the practices than the game itself. Why the Senior Bowl Practices Matter More Than the Game Most NFL personnel leave Mobile before the actual game is even played. Why? Because the real evaluation process happens during the week of practice. Teams want to see how prospects prepare, retain information, and compete against top-tier talent. Perhaps most importantly, the Senior Bowl offers small-school standouts a chance to prove themselves against Power 5 competition. We’ve seen this before—just last year, Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell dominated in Mobile, carried that momentum into the NFL Combine, and solidified himself as a first-round pick. This year, Marshall’s Mike Green is following in Mitchell’s footsteps, showing he belongs with the best. North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel is another small-school name creating serious buzz after an impressive showing in the trenches. Day One Senior Bowl Practice Notes Day one of Senior Bowl practices set the tone for a competitive week, with standout performances from multiple position groups. The tight ends stole the show, as Miami’s Elijah Arroyo and LSU’s Mason Taylor consistently won their reps, displaying refined route-running and soft hands. Arroyo, in particular, flashed elite separation ability, proving he belongs in the conversation as one of the draft’s top tight ends. Meanwhile, the defensive line lived up to expectations, with Boston College’s Donovan Ezeiruaku and Marshall’s Mike Green dominating in one-on-one pass-rush drills. Both showcased elite get-off, hand usage, and flexibility, proving they can impact games beyond just rushing the passer. The trenches saw fierce battles, as offensive linemen fought to hold their ground against an impressive defensive front. North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel stood out with his ability to anchor against power rushers, solidifying his stock as a versatile interior lineman. Meanwhile, Texas A&M’s Shemar Turner was forced to withdraw due to a lingering injury, a setback that could impact his pre-draft process. One of the biggest surprises of the day was UNC’s Willie Lampkin, an undersized lineman who proved his toughness against much larger defenders, winning multiple reps. With the first day in the books, scouts have already begun reshuffling their boards as key prospects continue to separate themselves from the pack. Day Two Senior Bowl Practice Notes Day two of Senior Bowl practices saw continued separation among top prospects, while others fought to solidify their draft stock. The defensive front continued to dominate, with Shemar Stewart, Mike Green, and Donovan Ezeiruaku once again making their presence felt in one-on-ones. Green, in particular, flashed elite speed-to-power conversion, bullying offensive tackles and proving he belongs in first-round discussions. Meanwhile, Missouri’s Armand Membou withdrew from the week due to illness, leaving scouts to debate whether he projects better as a guard or tackle at the next level. His absence created more opportunities for linemen like Grey Zabel, who continued to impress with his technical proficiency and positional versatility. In the secondary, Louisville’s Quincy Riley bounced back from an early drop, displaying sticky coverage and elite recovery speed in drills. At wide receiver, Oregon’s Tez Johnson stole the show, proving his ability to create separation with suddenness and elite burst. As for the QBs, Canadian QB Taylor Elgersma continued adjusting to the American game, showing improved rhythm and footwork after a shaky Day One. Jalen Milroe and Jaxson Dart shook off the Day One rust and started to get their feet beneath them on Day Two. Now, let’s dive into the top 10 players who have stood out the most in Senior Bowl practices this week. My Top 10 Standouts from 2025 Senior Bowl Practices 1. Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M Stewart has been as advertised physically, boasting a 6’5”, 281-pound frame with a near-7-foot wingspan that makes him a nightmare for offensive tackles. He showcased explosive get-off, raw power, and the ability to collapse the pocket in one-on-one drills. While his college sack production remains a concern, his NFL traits are undeniable, and he’s cementing himself as one of the top edge rushers in this class. 2. Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall Green has been one of the most disruptive defensive linemen in Mobile, showing elite speed-to-power conversion and a relentless motor. The FBS sack leader (17.0 sacks in 2024) has won rep after rep in one-on-ones, proving he can win with bend, power, and refined hand usage. His ability to bulldoze top-tier tackles, including Josh Conerly Jr., has solidified him as a potential late first-round pick. 3. Grey Zabel, OL, North Dakota State Zabel has been a technician in the trenches, consistently stonewalling pass rushers with strong hands, an elite anchor, and smooth footwork. His ability to take reps at both guard and center has only increased his value, as NFL teams covet linemen with positional flexibility. He’s played with good pad level, balance, and recovery ability, making him a riser in Mobile. 4. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College Ezeiruaku has been one of the most technically refined pass rushers in Mobile, winning one-on-one battles with elite hand placement and counter moves. At 6’2¼” with an 82⅜” wingspan, he compensates for his lack of elite height with outstanding arm extension and leverage. He’s flashed excellent bend and first-step quickness, making him one of the top defensive performers of the week. 5. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami Arroyo has been one of the smoothest route-runners among tight ends, consistently creating separation against linebackers and safeties. However, at the 2025 Senior Bowl, Arroyo is catching eyes with his skills before the ball is in his hands, displaying his route-running ability as a tight end. Arroyo also clocked the fastest recorded speed for a TE in 2024 (21.8 mph), proving he’s an elite athlete. His stock is firmly inside the top-50 conversation heading into the NFL Combine. 6. Jack Bech, WR, TCU Bech has consistently won his matchups, showcasing strong hands, crisp route-running, and body control. Measuring at 6’1”, 214 pounds, he plays with a physical edge, making tough catches in traffic and showing strong possession-receiver traits. His ability to win at the catch point has drawn praise from scouts, and he’s helped his stock immensely. 7. Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss Nolen has been a force in the interior, regularly pushing the pocket and winning reps with his explosiveness off the ball and raw strength. His ability to stack and shed blockers in the run game, coupled with his violent hands, makes him one of the most NFL-ready interior defenders at the event. He’s proving he belongs in the top 20 of the first-round conversation. 8. Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State Royals has seized the moment in Mobile, proving he’s one of the best route technicians in this WR class. He entered the week with questions about his health after missing the second half of the 2024 season, but he’s erased all doubts with his play. Royals has effortlessly created separation, utilizing his elite burst, crisp route-running, and ability to win at the catch point. He’s firmly in the Round 1-2 mix and could sneak into the back half of the first round. 9. Jeffrey Bassa, LB, Oregon There may not have been a player who impressed more than Jeffrey Bassa this week. The Oregon linebacker showcased elite movement skills in coverage, staying sticky against running backs, tight ends, and even wide receivers in space—an essential skill for today’s linebackers. His fluidity and football IQ have vaulted him into Day 2 discussions, making him a perfect fit for teams in need of a coverage-first linebacker. 10. Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon If you’re looking for a playmaker, Tez Johnson is your guy. At the Senior Bowl, he’s been a nightmare for DBs, using elite quickness, route precision, and breakaway speed to create separation. His ability to turn short catches into big plays has stood out. At only 5'9", 156 lbs, Johnson compares his game to Tank Dell and Cooper Kupp, proving size won’t hold him back. His stock is climbing into the mid-Day 2 range, making him a potential steal as a dynamic slot weapon. Final Takeaway The Senior Bowl practice sessions remain the most valuable scouting tool of the week, and these ten players have stood out the most in a highly competitive environment. While the game itself carries little weight, the ability to compete, adapt, and win reps consistently is what truly moves the needle for NFL teams. Several players—especially Mike Green, Jalen Royals, and Jeffrey Bassa—have significantly elevated their stock, proving they belong in the Day 1 and Day 2 conversations. As the week continues, expect more risers to emerge as scouts and evaluators finalize their notes ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

NFL Draft: NFL Mock Draft 4.1 | No Trades | Texans Draft C.J. Stroud, Will Levis To The Colts It has been a wild draft week, and we are now less than 24 hours away from the start of the 2023 NFL Draft. Last week it was all about the leaked S2 Cognition scores that started to tank C.J. Stroud's draft stock. We had another rumor this week that originated on Reddit, mentioning that Will Levis has informed friends and family he will be the top pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Aaron Rodgers has been traded to the Packers. I hoped that mock 4.0 would be it, but I wanted to take one more crack at it. First-Round NFL Mock Draft 1). Panthers: QB Bryce Young, Alabama Previous Mock Picks : C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young Industry Consensus: Bryce Young The Final Analysis: The Panthers should have taken Justin Fields in the 2021 NFL Draft. In 2023, they aim to make up for that by trading the farm to draft QB1. The names that make the most sense outside of Bryce Young are C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. But why not Will Levis? Levis is a developmental player with a high ceiling and is reportedly a brilliant person earning two degrees as a finance major while achieving a 4.0 the entire way. The only concern is that the Panthers need a bridge QB to allow Richardson to develop without needing to start as a rookie. Bryce Young is the only QB in this class expected to provide an immediate impact. 2). Texans: QB C.J. Stroud, Ohio State Previous Mock Picks: C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson Jr., Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, Tyree Wilson, Trade Back Industry Consensus: C.J. Stroud The Final Analysis: At the top of the order, there are some elite defenders, and there are many in the draft community that believe the Texans will pass on a QB, pairing first-year head coach Demeco Ryans with an elite defensive lineman. If the Texans choose a QB, Will it be C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, Will Levis, or Anthony Richardson? Some insiders believe the Texans and the Colts really like Will Levis more than C.J. Stroud, so assuming this is the case, I won't argue the fit because the Texans are in a complete rebuild. It will take a lot for them to be competitive, and whoever they draft this year will not have a massive impact as a rookie, even if it was Trevor Lawrence or Andrew Luck's generational talent. 3). Cardinals: Edge Will Anderson Jr., Alabama Previous Mock Picks: Will Anderson Jr., Tyree Wilson, Trade Back Industry Consensus: Will Anderson Jr. The Final Analysis: Compared to Mock 4.0, the significant change is that the Texans take the freakish ceiling of Tyree Wilson, allowing Will Anderson to fall one more spot. The Cardinals appear to be losing the perceived value they once held at pick #3. For months the industry has debated who might try to trade up to pick 3 to get a QB. Now we hear that teams are less interested in trading up and will wait to see where the chips fall. A trade is still likely if a team like the Tennessee Titans loves one of the top 4 QB's. If the Cardinals remain in this spot, they should have their choice of Will Anderson, Jalen Carter, or Tyree Wilson. 4). Colts: QB Will Levis, Kentucky Previous Mock Picks: Will Levis, Anthony Richardson, C.J. Stroud Industry Consensus: Anthony Richardson The Final Analysis: Could C.J. Stroud fall to them instead of Will Levis—so many smoke screens? In this particular addition, we follow the trends to see how it shakes out. Colts owner Jim Irsay recently tweeted that they do not have to take a QB if they do not like the options available. Still, it appears the options will be there if the Cardinals and the Texans opt not to trade back and the Texans choose a defender instead of a QB at pick #2. The difficult decision will come down to which of the three remaining QB's fit their new head coach the best. All of our mocks had teams trading in front of the Colts, leaving them with Will Levis, and if it comes down to it, Will Levis or Anthony Richardson can both be great options in a physical Shane Steichen offense. 5). Seahawks: IDL Jalen Carter, Georgia Previous Mock Picks: Anthony Richardson, Will Levis, Will Anderson Jr., Jalen Carter Industry Consensus: Christian Gonzalez The Final Analysis: The Seahawks are a team that could take a QB, and we have mocked QB to the Seahawks in different scenarios. We like Anthony Richardson, who can sit behind Geno Smith or Will Levis. If C.J. Stroud falls, how do you pass on the rookie value? Regardless, the Seahawks will be in a good spot. They could trade back to a QB-needy team or take arguably the best defender in the draft. 6). Lions: CB Devon Witherspoon, Illinois Previous Mock Picks: Jalen Carter, Myles Murphy, Tyree Wilson, Devon Witherspoon Industry Consensus: Devon Witherspoon The Final Analysis: The Lions are also in a fascinating spot. If a QB falls, they have a bridge QB in Jared Goff. Do you draft Anthony Richardson, or Will Levis, trade back, or stay and get the top DB in the class? 7). Raiders: CB Christian Gonzalez, Oregon Previous Mock Picks: Devon Witherspoon, Christian Gonzalez, Anthony Richardson, Bryan Bresee, Will Levis, Trade Up Industry Consensus: Christian Gonzalez The Final Analysis: We had Witherspoon in this spot in Mock 4.0 . The Raiders might be quick to the podium if a QB falls to them. But they have so many other needs they could trade back and get solid value. 8). Falcons: QB Anthony Richardson, Florida Previous Mock Picks: Tyree Wilson, Nolan Smith, Bijan Robinson Industry Consensus: Bijan Robinson The Final Analysis: Another team in the top 10 with a need at QB, and if one falls, we expect they will not hesitate to grab him, but if not, they can get a top defender. 9). Bears: RB Bijan Robinson, Texas Previous Mock Picks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Will Anderson Jr., Myles Murphy, Paris Johnson Jr., Bijan Robinson Industry Consensus: Paris Johnson Jr. The Final Analysis: The Bears traded back to pick #9 because they have what appears to be their franchise QB in place. They have several needs on both sides of the football, but how could you pass on the opportunity to have Bijan Robinson in the same backfield as Justin Fields? One of my basic arguments is that Justin Fields is great off of play-action, and having a legit elite RB next to him in the backfield will only open up the offense more. They can also go after one of the top available defenders or offensive line. 10). Eagles: OT Paris Johnson Jr., Ohio State Previous Mock Picks: Christian Gonzalez, Jalen Carter, Devon Witherspoon, Bijan Robinson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Lukas Van Ness Industry Consensus: Lukas Van Ness The Final Analysis: The Eagles have few needs but are aging at certain positions. Pairing the WR1 with Jalen Hurts would be phenomenal. The industry is low on the WR position in 2023, but only 3 or 4 round-one projections can provide an immediate impact, and Smith-Njigba would be perfect playing out of the slot in Philly. 11). Titans: QB Hendon Hooker, Tennessee Previous Mock Picks: Paris Johnson Jr., Will Levis, Darnell Wright Industry Consensus: Will Levis The Final Analysis: The Titans are losing OT Taylor Lewan to retirement, so replacing him is necessary. However, the Titans are among the teams rumored to be interested in moving up for a QB. If a QB falls, they might be tempted, or they can still try to move into the top 5 if they are motivated by a particular player. 12). Texans: Edge Tyree Wilson, Texas Tech Previous Mock Picks: Quentin Johnston, Tyree Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Anthony Richardson Industry Consensus: Jaxon Smith-Njigba The Final Analysis: One of the least likely scenarios will be Anthony Richardson dropping out of the top 10. I cannot see this scenario being realistic, but some insiders are speculating that this could be the case, and if it is, you might see several teams trying to move up to get him. The same can be said about Will Levis. As for Richardson, the ceiling is too high not to risk it, and if he falls this far and the Texans pass on QB at pick #2 as some believe, they have to make this move. But what about Hendon Hooker? His stock is rising , and some are speculating he is the 3rd QB on a lot of draft boards. 13). Packers (via Jets) : OT Peter Skoronski, Northwestern Previous Mock Picks : Peter Skoronski, Broderick Jones Industry Consensus: Broderick Jones The Final Analysis: People are still waiting to see what will happen with the Aaron Rodgers situation. Will the Jets trade this pick to the Packers or not is less likely, but they might have no choice if they want to procure Aaron Rodgers. The Jets must add help on their OL if they retain this pick. 14). Patriots: CB Joey Porter Jr., Penn State Previous Mock Picks: Broderick Jones, Quentin Johnston, Jordan Addison, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Devon Witherspoon, Zay Flowers, Joey Porter Jr. Industry Consensus: Zay Flowers The Final Analysis: The Patriots are a pre-draft speculative trade candidate, but the Patriots need to draft a WR, and we all know that Bill will find a way to pass on a WR for the best available DB or OL, and then he will shock the world and draft Stetson Bennett in the 2nd or 3rd round. 15). Jets (via Packers): OT Darnell Wright, Tennessee Previous Mock Picks : Jordan Addison, Myles Murphy, Quentin Johnston, Nolan Smith, Broderick Jones Industry Consensus: Nolan Smith The Final Analysis: The Aaron Rodgers trade might determine the direction the Packers go with this pick. So it's difficult to determine the direction they are thinking about going. Drafting a WR in this spot to support Jordan Love in the post-Aaron Rodgers era could make sense; they could go with OL or an edge defender. 16). Commanders: OT Broderick Jones, Georgia Previous Mock Pick s: O'Cyrus Torrence, Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr. Industry Consensus: Joey Porter Jr. The Final Analysis: I have mocked OL to the Commanders. QB could be an option if one falls drastically, or they love Hendon Hooker. Don't rule out a potential trade into the top 10. 17). Steelers: CB Deonte Banks, Maryland Previous Mock Picks: Kelee Ringo, Dawand Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Christian Gonzalez, Darnell Wright, Broderick Jones Industry Consensus: Darnell Wright The Final Analysis: They need OL; they could add a DB, and they have many options with essentially two first-round picks due to the Dolphin's pick forfeiture. 18). Lions: Edge Myles Murphy, Clemson Previous Mock Picks : Cam Smith, Myles Murphy, Calijah Kancey Industry Consensus: Calijah Kancey The Final Analysis: The Lion's #6 overall pick will determine their direction at pick 18. In addition, the Lions lost Jameson Williams for an extended period ahead of the 2023 season because he allegedly used a sports betting app within Lion's facilities. Could the Lions be motivated to draft a WR? 19). Bucs: OT Anton Harrison, Oklahoma Previous Mock Picks: Nolan Smith, Broderick Jones, Anton Harrison, Bryan Bresee, Hendon Hooker Industry Consensus: Anton Harrison The Final Analysis: The Bucs are one of several teams allegedly grading Hendon Hooker higher than the industry consensus. If he is available, why not take a shot? Hooker is already 25, so the perceived risk is that he might have already peaked to his ceiling. 20). Seahawks: WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ohio State Previous Mock Picks: Tuli Tuipulotu, Calijah Kancey, Joey Porter Jr., Myles Murphy Industry Consensus: Myles Murphy The Final Analysis: The Seahawks, like the Lions, have a top 10 pick to go along with a mid 1st round bonus pick that could be used to fill a need, or they could go with a luxury pick like a WR or maybe a QB like Will Levis or Anthony Richardson does fall significantly. Regardless, the Seahawks will have a lot of options. 21). Chargers: WR Zay Flowers, Boston College Previous Mock Picks: Trenton Simpson, Zay Flowers, Jordan Addison, Kelee Ringo Industry Consensus: Jordan Addison The Final Analysis: The Chargers must replace an aging, often injury-plagued WR core. They could add a DB or an edge defender to build depth. 22). Ravens: CB Kelee Ringo, Georgia Previous Mock Picks: Jalin Hyatt, Joey Porter Jr., Kelee Ringo, Zay Flowers, Deonte Banks Industry Consensus : Deonte Banks The Final Analysis: The Ravens added OBJ, so why not add more firepower to the offense in hopes that Lamar Jackson accepts whatever alleged deal the Ravens offered? Other options are DB and an edge rusher. 23). Vikings: CB Emmanuel Forbes, Mississippi State Previous Mock Picks: Joey Porter Jr., Emannuel Forbes, Hendon Hooker, Quentin Johnston, Kelee Ringo Industry Consensus: Quentin Johnston The Final Analysis: There has been speculation that the Vikings could be a team looking to move up to draft a QB. They have a lot of other needs, but they are in a suitable position to move up and draft a QB, or if one falls to them, they could pull the trigger with Kirk Cousins on the roster as a bridge to the future. 24). Jaguars: S/NB Brian Branch, Alabama Previous Mock Picks: Kayshon Boutte, O'Cyrus Torrence, Anton Harrison, Steve Avilla Industry Consensus: Brian Branch The Final Analysis: Jags need interior OL help and help in their defensive secondary. 25). Giants: Edge Nolan Smith, Georgia Previous Mock Picks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Brian Branch, Jalin Hyatt, Zay Flowers, John Michael Schmitz, Industry Consensus: John Michael Schmitz The Final Analysis: The Giants possess decent draft capital. They have needs at WR and safety, but with Saquon Barkley mentioning he might not sign the franchise tag, could the Giants be in the market to draft Jahmyr Gibbs? They could go WR or OL. We have also mocked DB. 26). Cowboys: IDL Bryan Bresee, Clemson Previous Mock Picks : Anton Harrison, Michael Mayer, Trenton Simpson, Mazi Smith, Dalton Kincaid, Dawand Jones Industry Consensus: John Michael Schmitz The Final Analysis: The Cowboys will probably throw a 1st round curveball. They are consistently the most challenging team to mock even when they have obvious needs, but in this mock, we fill their need on the OL. 27). Bills: LB Jack Campbell, Iowa Previous Mock Picks: Andrew Vorhees, Nolan Smith, Brian Branch, O'Cyrus Torrence, Quentin Johnston Industry Consensus: O'Cyrus Torrence The Final Analysis: With a need at LB, the Bills can fill that in the 2nd round and draft the best available WR left on the board to solidify its receiver core. There is some first-round buzz for LB Jack Campbell or Drew Sanders, but that's too early to draft a LB, or is it? Jack Campbell has elite physical traits and athleticism. 28). Bengals: RB Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama Previous Mock Picks: Brian Branch, Anton Harrison, Jahmyr Gibbs, Michael Mayer Industry Consensus: Michael Mayer The Final Analysis: I have been obsessed with the idea of Jahmyr Gibbs in Cincinnati. With the Bengals' front office not likely committing to Joe Mixon, why not grab the speed of Jahmyr Gibbs to pair with Burrow and Chase? Or, they can go with the versatile TE from Utah. 29). Saints: IDL Calijah Kancey, Pitt Previous Mock Picks: Keion White, Lukas Van Ness, Mazi Smith, Deonte Banks Industry Consensus: Mazi Smith The Final Analysis: The Saints could go many different ways here depending on the availability at certain positions. We go with DB this time around. 30). Eagles: IDL Mazi Smith, Michigan Previous Mock Picks: Siaki Ika, Cam Smith, Steve Avilla, John Michael Schmitz, Bryan Bresee Industry Consensus: Bryan Bresee The Final Analysis: The Eagles apparently dislike RB's. Or do they? Why not add another dynamic playmaker with Jalen Hurts in the same backfield? Gibbs is one of a handful of instant-impact players in this year's class. 31). Chiefs: WR Jordan Addison, USC Previous Mock Picks: Luke Musgrave, Keion White, Lukas Van Ness, Dawand Jones, Quentin Johnston Industry Consensus: Dawand Jones The Final Analysis: The Chiefs could get one of the top WR's in the draft. Quentin Johnston has the upside to be the top WR in this class if he is drafted into the right scenario. In this scenario, he falls far enough to land in the hands of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.
