No. 5: If the Seahawks take a quarterback at No. 5, McShay thinks it will either be CJ Stroud or Anthony Richardson. No. 20: If the Seahawks take a quarterback with their other first-round pick (No. 20), McShay expects it to be Hendon Hooker. Rationale: GM John Schneider has said that he views this draft as a [rare]( opportunity to grab a potential franchise quarterback. The team seems to like the idea of developing a rookie behind Geno Smith. No Jalen: Multiple sources have told McShay that Seattle is unlikely to take Georgia DT Jalen Carter. Image: David Rosenblum/Icon Sportswire Lions [Jalen Carter] Lions expected to pass on QBs in first round; could take Jalen Carter Details: Both Peter King and Albert Breer believe the Lions will [pass]( on quarterbacks at No. 6 and No. 18. - The team is comfortable with Jared Goff and more likely to address defensive needs. No. 6: Breer thinks Carter could be the team’s top target at No. 6. He heard the team had a “[good meeting](” with the controversial defensive tackle. - If not Carter, the Lions are expected to take Illinois CB Devon Witherspoon, Oregon CB Christian Gonzalez, or Northwestern OL Peter Skoronski. No. 18: Bijan Robinson will likely be the pick at 18 — if he’s still on the board. If not, Breer thinks Detroit will look to take a cornerback or trade down. Image: Kevin Langley/Icon Sportswire Tackles [Darnell Wright] Offensive tackles will be a hot commodity in first round Details: The insight comes from Albert Breer, who thinks [six]( offensive tackles could go in the first round. Tier 1: The top group is composed of Ohio State’s Paris Johnson and Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski. - Breer thinks both could go in the top ten, to teams like the Cardinals (No. 3), Raiders (No. 7), Bears (No. 9), and Eagles (No. 10). Tier 2: The second tier features Tennessee’s Darnell Wright and Georgia’s Broderick Jones. Tier 3: The final tier includes Syracuse’s Matthew Bergeron and Oklahoma’s Anton Harrison. 11-19: Tier 2 and 3 tackles could be sought by the Titans (No. 11), Packers (No. 13), Patriots (No. 14), Jets (No. 15), Commanders (No. 16), Steelers (No. 17), and Buccaneers (No. 19). Image: Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire McDonald IV [Will McDonald IV] Iowa State DE Will McDonald IV went on eleven Top 30 visits Details: McDonald [visited]( with the Bears, Bills, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Packers, Seahawks, and Vikings. Profile: The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder totaled an impressive 34.0 sacks and 42.0 tackles for loss over his time with the Cyclones. He was [unblockable]( at the Senior Bowl. Wow: An NFL DL coach [told]( The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman that McDonald is “probably the most twitchy guy in the whole D-line group. You can’t teach that kind of bend. He’s very much like Haason Reddick and Brian Burns.” Range: Multiple draft experts are projecting a mid to late first-round selection. Image: Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire Bills [Quentin Johnston] Bills expected to take a WR in first round Details: The insight comes from The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia, who thinks the team wants more [consistency]( opposite Stefon Diggs. - Gabe Davis, who struggles with drops, is also entering a contract year. Options: The Bills will likely be targeting Jaxon Smith Njigba (Ohio State), Zay Flowers (Boston College), Jordan Addison (USC), Jalin Hyatt (Tennessee), and Quentin Johnston (TCU). Trade Up: Buscaglia thinks Buffalo, at pick No. 26, may have to trade up to land a preferred receiver. - Analysts believe there will be a run on receivers in the low 20s. Wild Card? In his mock draft on Monday, Peter King had the Bills taking North Carolina receiver [Josh Downs]( over Johnston and Hyatt. Image: George Walker/Icon Sportswire Bresee [Bryan Bresee] Clemson DT Bryan Bresee could go in late first-round Details: The consensus among most draft analysts is that Bresee [will go]( in the late first to early second round. Profile: Bresee was the nation’s top recruit in 2020. His career at Clemson featured dominant performances intertwined with serious medical issues. - The 6-foot-6, 298-pounder tore his ACL in 2021 and had a kidney infection last year. Brugler: Dane Brugler [ranks]( Bresee as the draft’s 23rd-best player. He writes, “Bresee must refine his set up and counters for better pass rush sequencing, but he is an explosive force player with disruptive potential in both even and odd fronts. His tag on draft boards will have a medical designation and his injury background might determine where he is drafted.” Teams: Bresee has visited with the Steelers and Colts. He's also been linked to the [Eagles]( and [Saints]( in recent days.
