[Panthers] Bryce Young - QB - Alabama The decision to select Young has been locked in for a while now. He won over Frank Reich and owner David Tepper during the pre-draft process. 2. [Texans] Tyree Wilson - DE - Texas Tech DeMeco Ryans may opt for a foundational defensive piece at this spot. Note that there's still some buzz about CJ Stroud here. 3. [Cardinals] Will Anderson Jr. - DE/LB - Alabama If the Cardinals can't trade this pick, expect the selection to be Anderson, Paris Johnson Jr. or Devon Witherspoon. 4. [Colts] CJ Stroud - QB - Ohio State The Colts will be selecting a quarterback here, it could easily be Will Levis over Stroud. 5. [Seahawks] Jalen Carter - DT - Georgia Carter makes more sense for the Seattle than a developmental quarterback. 6. [Lions] Devon Witherspoon - CB - Illinois Witherspoon has been linked to the Lions for months, though Carter could be the pick (if available). 7. [Raiders] Paris Johnson Jr. - OT - Ohio State The Raiders will be choosing between Johnson, Peter Skoronski, and Devon Witherspoon (if available). 8. [Falcons] Bijan Robinson - RB - Texas The Falcons could take Robinson if they aren't in love with any the pass rush options (like Lukas Van Ness). Note that Atlanta is willing to move down. 9. [Falcons] Peter Skoronski - OL - Northwestern Skoronski is the best remaining offensive linemen, though Jalen Carter and Paris Johnson are potential targets (if available). 10. [Eagles] Christian Gonzalez - CB - Oregon Gonzalez has been connected to Philadelphia for a while now. Note that the Eagles are a candidate to trade up for Jalen Carter or Paris Johnson Jr. 11. [Titans] Titans - Darnell Wright - OT - Tennessee The Titans could move up to No. 3 for CJ Stroud (which means the Colts would end up with Levis). If Tennessee stays put, Wright would fill a big need. 12. [Texans] Will Levis - QB - Kentucky Just a random guess here - could easily be Anthony Richardson or Hendon Hooker... or no quarterback at all. 13. [Packers] Dalton Kincaid - TE - Utah Kincaid has been heavily linked to the Packers over the past few weeks. Other possibilities include Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Michael Mayer. 14. [Patriots] Lukas Van Ness - DE/LB - Iowa There's some buzz around the Patriots and Van Ness, though the team may be more likely to target a cornerback or offensive tackle (potentially via trade up). 15. [Jets] Broderick Jones - OT - Georgia The Jets are almost certain to take an offensive tackle (or maybe Jaxon Smith-Njigba). They'd be happy to get Jones here. 16. [Commanders] Joey Porter Jr. - CB - Penn State Washington has been connected to Porter throughout the pre-draft process. 17. [Steelers] Deonte Banks - CB - Maryland The Steelers could trade up for an offensive tackle. If they stay put, Banks or Anton Harrison are strong options. 18. [Lions] Calijah Kancey - DT - Pittsburgh This is could be Bijan Robinson, if he falls this this far — if not, Kancey makes sense. 19. [Bucs] Anthony Richardson - QB - Florida There's some hype around Tampa and Richardson. This selection could also be used on an offensive or defensive lineman. 20. [Seahawks] Nolan Smith - DE/LB - Georgia Seattle is a candidate to trade up for Richardson, if he slips. If they stay put, Smith would be a nice value at No. 20. 21. [Chargers] Zay Flowers - WR - Boston College Lots of options for the Chargers here — Flowers, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Michael Mayer, and Jordan Addison. 22. [Ravens] Jaxon Smith-Njigba - WR - Ohio State Smith-Njigba could easily go ten picks earlier, but in this projection he falls to receiver-needy Baltimore. 23. [Vikings] Jordan Addison - WR - USC The Vikings could move up for a quarterback — or take Hendon Hooker here. If they go receiver, Addison makes a lot of sense. 24. [Jaguars] Emmanuel Forbes - CB - Mississippi State Jacksonville is looking for help at cornerback, right tackle, and defensive tackle. In this scenario, they take Forbes over Anton Harrison and Bryan Bresee. 25. [Giants] Michael Mayer - TE - Notre Dame There's a lot of buzz surrounding the Giants and Mayer. 26. [Cowboys] Will McDonald IV - DE - Iowa State McDonald is a "best player available" pick for the Cowboys. Other options include tight end (potentially via trade up), running back (Jahmyr Gibbs or trade up for Bijan Robinson), and linebacker (Drew Sanders). 27. [Bills] Quentin Johnston - WR - TCU Buffalo is expected to take a receiver and Johnston is probably the top remaining option — though the team may like Josh Downs more. 28. [Bengals] Jahmyr Gibbs - RB - Alabama Cincinnati is ready for a fresh start at running back, though Calijah Kancey is an option here (if available). 29. [Saints] Myles Murphy - DE - Clemson The Saints are almost certain to take a defensive end — be it Murphy or someone like Felix Anudike-Uzomah. 30. [Eagles] Brian Branch - S - Alabama Branch will help offset the loss of Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. He'd be a steal this late in the first round. 31. [Chiefs] Anton Harrison - OT - Oklahoma Harrison fills a big need at offensive tackle. Other possibilities include Mazi Smith, Jalin Hyatt, or Zay Flowers (via trade up).
