It is the most wonderful weekend of the year! The NFL Draft! Hello friends, and welcome to my annual 7
Round Mock Draft. This year, we are
doing something a little different. I
have gotten very annoyed by mocks that span multiple pages, cause it isn’t easy
to search for your team. I realize I
have been guilty of doing this, with each round getting its own post. Not anymore.
Instead, here are all 259 picks, with some notes on the first rounders,
and other interesting picks along the way.
As per usual, I do not project trades, since I imagine there will be a
ton of them, including in the Top 3. It will be a wild, unpredictable night. Enjoy
it, and enjoy the draft. With all that
said, the Carolina Panthers are on the clock:
Round 1
1.) Carolina Panthers (from Chicago)- Bryce Young, QB, Alabama
This seems to be the consensus for
who the Panthers want, so I won’t go against it. Young proved he can do it all at
Alabama. If he was 6’3, this would be a
no-brainer. But, in this NFL, we have
seen some shorter QBs succeed. The
Panthers will hitch their wagon to him in a very winnable division.
2) Houston Texans- CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State
This team needs a QB. That is the
biggest need. If they take an edge rusher,
and don’t take a QB at #12, then really, they don’t know what they are doing
anymore. It isn’t a guarantee they will
have the #1 pick next year for Caleb Williams.
Instead, take the clear #2 QB (I’d say 1A), and move your franchise
forward. Stroud is an upgrade
immediately at QB, in a division with no real standout teams. The Texans can compete right away.
3) Arizona Cardinals- Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama
I don’t know if Arizona will make
this pick here, since they are trying to trade back as bad as possible. But we
don’t project trades, so the best defensive player on the board goes with the
third pick to a team that has lost Chandler Jones and JJ Watt over the past two
seasons, anchoring a defense that will be on the field way too much since the
offense won’t be great.
4) Indianapolis Colts- Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
Will Levis eats bananas with the
peels still on, and puts mayonnaise in his coffee… which seems like things Jim
Irsay might do too, right? I think that
Levis is the pick because they need a young starter now, not a project. Levis is Mel Kiper’s favorite QB, has a big
arm, and had success in the SEC with subpar talent around him. As with the
Texans, the Colts play in a division where the teams are all pretty equal, and solid
QB play immediately makes you a contender.
Levis comes in and starts Week 1 for them.
5) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver)- Anthony Richardson, QB,
Florida
I desperately hope this pick
happens for everyone involved. The
Seahawks never pick this high, so why not take a change on the most physically gifted
QB in the Draft? Richardson can sit
behind Geno Smith, learn from him and from Pete Carroll, and then take over in
2024 or 2025. I think it is the best
case scenario, and a move that could set up Seattle for the next decade.
6) Detroit Lions (from L.A. Rams)- Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia
The best thing for an extremely
talented player that has some character issues is strong coaching and good
leadership in the locker room. Shockingly,
that is exactly what Detroit finally has. Plugging Carter into Detroit’s D-Line
along with Aiden Hutchenson will be a nightmare for the NFC North. He can be as dominant as Ndamukong Suh once
was for them, and the Lions may be the favorite to win the division.
7) Las Vegas Raiders- Paris Johnson, OT, Ohio State
With all of the QBs gone, the
priority for the Raiders should be to keep Jimmy G upright and healthy. Paris Johnson can plug in immediately at left
tackle, but also has experience at every line spot except center. He will be an immediate anchor for a group
that has struggled a lot in recent years.
8) Atlanta Falcons- Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois
The Falcons need help everywhere,
and have said they are sticking with Desmond Ridder at QB. They spent a fair amount on their defense in
free agency, but I still think they need help in the secondary. I’ve seen some talking heads say Witherspoon
might be the best player in the draft, which could be a stretch, but he
definitely might be the best CB available.
9) Chicago Bears (from Carolina)- Peter Skoronski, OT/G, Northwestern
Someone call George Wendt and ask
him to say the name “Skoronski” in his Bears Superfan voice. It just makes too much sense. You need to protect Justin Fields, the
fanbase is already familiar with Skoronski since he played just down the road
in Evanston, IL, and he has the versatility to play multiple line
positions. If he is there at 9, this is
the pick about which I feel most confident.
10) Philadelphia Eagles (from New Orleans)- Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas
As a Commanders fan, I don’t want
to see this happen. The Eagles offense
would be unstoppable. Yes, you can find
RBs later in the draft, but Robinson grades an entire round better than the
next best one. While the Eagles prefer
to build through the trenches first, I think that Robinson is too good to pass
up.
11) Tennessee Titans- Jaxson Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State
Name a Titans WR…. If you said Traylon Burks, Chris Moore, or
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, then you are either a Titans fan or obsessed with
football. Point is, the Titans
desperately need better WRs. Jaxson Smith-Njigba
is the best one in the draft, and is a no-brainer pick if he is available at
11.
12) Houston Texans (from Cleveland)- Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia
This draft is deep in pass
rushers, which is why the Texans should take one here and not at #2. Nolan Smith missed the end last season with a
torn pec, but was very productive when healthy.
He also lit up the Combine, both on and off the field. He can have a Micah Parsons-type impact as an
OLB and rusher.
13) Green Bay Packers (from New York Jets)- Zay
Flowers, WR, Boston College
The ultimate heel move by the
Packers! Now that they traded Aaron
Rodgers away, they finally draft a pass catcher in Round 1. They would prefer Smith-Njigba, but Flowers
is an excellent route runner with big play ability, and should pair well with
Christian Watson as options for Jordan Love.
14) New England Patriots- Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech
There is some talk of Tyree Wilson
going in the Top 3. So, if he is still available at 14, the Patriots throw out
the plan and take him. They still aren’t
sure what they are doing on offense, and the top 2 pass catchers are off the
board, so Wilson is the pick. Plus, the
Patriots have to be able to get to all the QBs in their division. Speaking of…
15) New York Jets (from Green Bay)- Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia
Welcome to New York, Aaron
Rodgers. All the ayahuasca in the world
won’t protect your blind side. Broderick
Jones was the left tackle for the end of the 2021 season for the Bulldogs (when
they won the National Championship), and all of 2022 (when they *checks notes*
won the National Championship). Frankly, he could be a steal as the third
Olineman off the board, and the Jets should run the card up if he is there.
16) Washington Commanders- Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
Ah, my Commanders. This may be the final draft of the Dan Snyder
era, and that is mostly what the fans are concentrating on. As far as the Draft is concerned, this team
wants to trade down, desperately. So,
will they end up with a top CB like Christian Gonzalez? Probably not.
But, if they are at 16 and he is available, he is the pick. I could also see them look at OT, LB, or
(sigh) DE here.
17) Pittsburgh Steelers- Joey Porter Jr, CB, Penn State
This seems to perfect, right? The son goes to his dad’s team, filling a
need, and all is right in the world? I’d
love it. Porter is a long, physical corner
who can disrupt passes and cover bigger WRs.
The Steeler need to be able to stop those high-flying AFC offenses like
they used to.
18) Detroit Lions- Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
The Lions traded away TJ Hockenson
to the Vikings last year, but still almost made the playoffs. After adding Jalen Carter to the line, they
add the best overall tight end in the draft in Mayer. He can catch, make plays, and is a great run
blocker. He may fit in better than
Hockenson ever did.
19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee
Well, Tom Brady is finally
retired, we think, and one of the main reasons the Bucs struggled last year was
that their offensive line had massive holes.
So, protecting their new QB (probably Baker Mayfield) should be their
biggest concern. Darnell Wright has been
shooting up draft boards, and should be the pick here. He has experience at both tackle positions,
and can move inside if needed.
20) Seattle Seahawks- Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa
The Seahawks added their QB of the
future at pick 5, and they add immediate help along the defensive line with
pick 20. Lukas Van Ness could go
anywhere from the top 10 to here, but I don’t think he will fall past this
spot. He is a plug and play player that
can stop the run or rush the passer.
21) Los Angeles Chargers- Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah
The Chargers just need to find
more weapons for Justin Herbert, along with some better coaching. Since you can draft a coach, they can add a
premier TE in Dalton Kincaid. He is 1A
to Michael Mayer, and may be a more explosive pass catcher, though a slightly
worse blocker. He will be a weapon in
the slot, with a comp to Zach Ertz being very fair.
22) Baltimore Ravens- Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU
The Ravens added OBJ and hope that
Rashod Bateman will be healthy. Still,
they could use another true WR weapon, and Johnson is the best available. He is a massive possession receiver with a
huge catch radius and good hands. He
would compliment the other guys in the receiver room well. Now, who is throwing them the ball?
23) Minnesota Vikings- Jordan Addison, WR, USC
Adam Thielen is no longer in Minnesota,
and I don’t see them taking Hendon Hooker here when they are still trying to
win. They need someone to pair with
Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison is that player. Like Thielen, he is a premier route runner who
is quicker than fast, but has produced everywhere he has been, both at Pitt and
USC.
24) Jacksonville Jaguars- Will McDonald IV, EDGE, Iowa State
So, I won’t say Travon Walker is a
bust yet. He just wasn’t as impactful
last year as some other linemen that were taken after him. The point is, the Jags still need pass rush
help. Will McDonald IV is that
answer. He is an explosive pass rusher
who is able to slide into that 3-4 system immediately.
25) New York Giants- Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson
I don’t think there is a WR available
here to make it worth the pick, but the Giants were able to make the playoffs
last year based on solid defense and surprisingly good play from Daniel
Jones. Adding another rusher like Murphy
would only increase the ability of the defense to stop the rest of the NFC
East.
26) Dallas Cowboys- Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia
Dalton Schultz took his talents
down to Houston, so TE may be the biggest need for the star, and they address
it with the biggest TE in the class.
Washington is huge, a really good blocker, and has a massive catch
radius. He isn’t the best route runner,
but is athletic enough to be coached up and turn into a dominant weapon.
27) Buffalo Bills- Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh
The Bills don’t have any DTs
signed for the 2024 season. I don’t
think there is a middle linebacker worth taking here to replace Tremaine Edmonds,
so Kancey is the pick. 1st Team All American and the ACC Defensive
Player of the Year, and his Combine comp is John Randle. A pretty solid pick this late in the first
round.
28) Cincinnati Bengals- Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland
The Bengals lost a ton of talent
in the secondary this offseason, and I think they try to replace it with the speedy
Banks. He has good size, 4.35 speed, and
production on the outside shutting down WRs. A little more coaching, and he
could be an All Pro CB.
29) New Orleans Saints (from San Francisco through Miami and Denver)- Adetomiwa
Adebawore, DE/DT, Northwestern
The Saints need help along their defensive
line, and Adebawore provides flexibility and athleticism. He is a little raw at
the moment, but can easily be coached up to make the most of his explosiveness.
30) Philadelphia Eagles- Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson
As stated earlier, the Eagles like
to build through the trenches. After
taking a star RB with their first pick, they go back to what made them a
now-great franchise, and take Bresee. He
will plug into a defense that needed to bring in DTs midway through the season
last year, and grow with that excellent pass rush.
31) Kansas City Chiefs- Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State
The Super Bowl champs don’t need
much, but pass rushers are always welcome.
Anudike-Uzomah was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, and should
bring an explosiveness to the outside of the KC line to match what Chris Jones
brings on the interior.
Round 2
32) Pittsburgh Steelers (from Chicago)- Anton Harrison, OT,
Oklahoma
33) Houston Texans- Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
The Texans get their new QB (who they really should take) a
weapon on the outside.
34) Arizona Cardinals- Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan
35) Indianapolis Colts- O'Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida
36) Los Angeles Rams- Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State
The Rams may start caring a little bit more about draft
picks now. Having traded away Jalen
Ramsey, they need help at CB. Forbes was
super productive, but his slender frame gives some teams pause. If he bulks up and can keep his speed, he could
be special.
37) Seattle Seahawks (from Denver)- John Michael Schmitz, OC, Minnesota
38) Las Vegas Raiders- Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia
39) Carolina Panthers- Drew Sanders, LB, Arkansas
40) New Orleans Saints- Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina
41) Tennessee Titans- Keion White, EDGE, Georgia Tech
42) Green Bay Packers (from Cleveland through New York Jets)- Joe Tippmann, OC,
Wisconsin
43) New York Jets- Brian Branch, S, Alabama
44) Atlanta Falcons- BJ Ojulari, EDGE, LSU
45) Green Bay Packers- Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State
46) New England Patriots- Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State
47) Washington Commanders- Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse
48) Detroit Lions- Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee
If Hendon Hooker wasn’t already 25, and wasn’t coming off of
an ACL tear, I think he’d be drafted in the Top 10. As it is, a team will likely still take him
in the first round. It could even be
Detroit trading back in and letting him sit behind Jared Goff.
49) Pittsburgh Steelers- Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin
50) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Derick Hall, EDGE, Auburn
51) Miami Dolphins- Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama
The Dolphins are finally on the clock, having forfeited
their first round pick after tampering with Tom Brady, and decide to add
another weapon to their offense. Yes, they
already have a pretty full running back room, but Gibbs could be better than
all of them.
52) Seattle Seahawks- Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa
53) Chicago Bears (from Baltimore)- Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame
54) Los Angeles Chargers- Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee
55) Detroit Lions (from Minnesota)- Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina
56) Jacksonville Jaguars- DJ Turner, CB, Michigan
57) New York Giants- Julius Brents, CB, Kansas State
58) Dallas Cowboys- Steve Avila, OG/OC, TCU
59) Buffalo Bills- Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson
60) Cincinnati Bengals- Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M
61) Chicago Bears (from San Francisco through Carolina)- Zach Charbonnet, RB,
UCLA
62) Philadelphia Eagles- Ji'Ayir Brown, S, Penn State
63) Kansas City Chiefs- Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
Round 3
64) Chicago Bears- Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor
65) Houston Texans- Luke Wypler, OC, Ohio State
66) Arizona Cardinals- Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami
67) Denver Broncos (from Indianapolis)- Riley Moss, CB, Iowa
68) Denver Broncos- Olusegun Oluwatimi, OC, Michigan
The Broncos finally show up after trading picks for Russell
Wilson. The immediately address tow
needs in CB and Center.
69) Los Angeles Rams- Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, USC
70) Las Vegas Raiders- Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa
71) New Orleans Saints- Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah
72) Tennessee Titans- Cody Mauch, OG, North Dakota State
73) Houston Texans (from Cleveland)- Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington State
74) Cleveland Browns (from N.Y. Jets)- Keondre Coburn, DT, Texas
The Browns traded picks for noted sex offender Deshaun
Watson. He didn’t play great last year,
but they hope he will bounce back from his layoff. They gave him Elijah Moore in a trade, no
they address a big hole at defensive line.
75) Atlanta Falcons- Marvin Mims, WR, Oklahoma
76) New England Patriots (from Carolina)- A.T. Perry, WR, Wake Forest
77) Los Angeles Rams (from New England through Miami)- Tank Dell, WR, Houston
78) Green Bay Packers- Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State
79) Indianapolis Colts (from Washington)- Kyu Blu Kelly, CB, Stanford
80) Pittsburgh Steelers- Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati
81) Detroit Lions- Byron Young, EDGE, Tennessee
82) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Jartavius Martin, S, Illinois
83) Seattle Seahawks- Rejzohn Wright, CB, Oregon State
84) Miami Dolphins- Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State
85) Los Angeles Chargers- Isaiah McGuire, EDGE, Missouri
86) Baltimore Ravens- Eli Ricks, CB, Alabama
87) Minnesota Vikings- Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse
88) Jacksonville Jaguars- Devon Achane, RB, Texas A&M
89) New York Giants- Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU
90) Dallas Cowboys- Rashee Rice, WR, SMU
91) Buffalo Bills- Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane,
92) Cincinnati Bengals- Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State
93) Carolina Panthers (from San Francisco)- Andre Carter II, EDGE, Army
94) Philadelphia Eagles- Jaelyn Duncan, OT, Maryland
95) Kansas City Chiefs- Zacch Pickens, DL, South Carolina
96) Arizona Cardinals (Compensatory Selection)- Elijah Higgins, WR/TE, Stanford
97) Washington Commanders (Compensatory Selection)- Dorian Williams, ILB,
Tulane
98) Cleveland Browns (Special Compensatory Selection)- Henry To'oTo'o, LB,
Alabama
99) San Francisco 49ers (Special Compensatory Selection)- Blake Freeland, OT,
BYU
The 49ers are finally able to pick, here, at the end of Day
2. They have a ton of Day 2 and 3 picks,
so they could trade up. Anyway, they
lost Mike McGlinchey in free agency, so there is a big hole at right tackle.
100) Las Vegas Raiders from Kansas City Chiefs through New York Giants (Special
Compensatory Selection)- Sydney Brown, S, Illinois
101) San Francisco 49ers (Special Compensatory Selection)- Tre'Vius
Hodges-Tomlinson, CB, TCU
102) San Francisco 49ers (Special Compensatory Selection)- Jordan Battle, S,
Alabama
Round 4
103) Chicago Bears- Ricky Stromberg, OC, Arkansas
104) Houston Texans- Kei’Trel Clark, CB, Louisville
105) Arizona Cardinals- Emil Ekiyor Jr., OG, Alabama
106) Indianapolis Colts- Zach Harrison, EDGE, Ohio State
107) New England Patriots (from L.A. Rams)- Colby Wooden, DT, Auburn
108) Denver Broncos- Karl Brooks, DT, Bowling Green
109) Las Vegas Raiders- Chandler Zavala, G, NC State
110) Atlanta Falcons (from Tennessee)- Jaquelin Roy, DT, LSU
111) Cleveland Browns- Zach Evans, RB, Ole Miss
112) New York Jets- DeMarvion Overshown, LB, Texas
113) Atlanta Falcons- Ivan Pace Jr., LB, Cincinnati
114) Carolina Panthers- Dontavyion Wicks, WR, Virginia
115) New Orleans Saints- Nick Herbig, EDGE, Wisconsin
116) Green Bay Packers- JL Skinner, S, Boise State
117) New England Patriots- Jaylon Jones, CB, Texas A&M
118) Washington Commanders- Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan
119) Minnesota Vikings (from Detroit)- Jake Haener, QB, Fresno State
The Vikings are likely going to move on from Kirk Cousins
soon. Haener isn’t that dissimilar of a
QB, so he can come in and learn for a year, then compete for the starting job
once Kirk is gone.
120) Pittsburgh Steelers- Owen Pappoe, LB, Auburn
121) Jacksonville Jaguars (from Tampa Bay)- Zack Kuntz, TE, Old Dominion
122) Kansas City Chiefs (from Miami)- Tyler Steen, OT, Alabama
123) Seattle Seahawks- Jammie Robinson, S, Florida State
124) Baltimore Ravens- McClendon Curtis, OG, Chattanooga
125) Los Angeles Chargers- Israel Abanikanda, RB, Pittsburgh
126) Cleveland Browns (from Minnesota)- Charlie Jones, WR, Purdue
127) Jacksonville Jaguars- Carter Warren, OT, Pittsburgh
128) New York Giants- Tavius Robinson, EDGE, Ole Miss
129) Dallas Cowboys- Eric Gray, RB, Oklahoma
130) Buffalo Bills- Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina
131) Cincinnati Bengals- YaYa Diaby, Edge, Louisville
132) Carolina Panthers (from San Francisco)- Cory Trice, CB, Purdue
133) Chicago Bears (from Philadelphia)- Jakorian Bennett, CB, Maryland
134) Kansas City Chiefs- Davis Allen, TE, Clemson
135) New England Patriots (Compensatory Selection)- Yasir Abdullah, OLB/EDGE,
Louisville
Round 5
136) Chicago Bears- Will Mallory, TE, Miami (FL)
137) Buffalo Bills (from Arizona)- Nick Broeker, OG/C, Ole Miss
138) Indianapolis Colts- Xavier Hutchinson, WR, Iowa State
139) Denver Broncos- Thomas Incoom, Edge, Central Michigan
140) Cleveland Browns (from L.A. Rams)- Braeden Daniels, OT/G, Utah
141) Las Vegas Raiders- Byron Young, DT, Alabama
142) Cleveland Browns- Daniel Scott, S, California
143) New York Jets- Moro Ojomo, DT, Texas
144) Las Vegas Raiders (from Atlanta)- Noah Sewell, LB, Oregon
145) Carolina Panthers- Gervon Dexter, DT, Florida
146) New Orleans Saints- Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama
147) Tennessee Titans- Terrell Smith, CB, Minnesota
148) Chicago Bears (from New England through Baltimore)- Ronnie Hickman, S,
Ohio State
149) Green Bay Packers- Brodric Martin, DT, Western Kentucky
150) Washington Commanders- Juice Scruggs, C, Penn State
151) Seattle Seahawks (from Pittsburgh)- Malik Knowles, WR, Kansas State
152) Detroit Lions- Nick Hampton, OLB/EDGE, Appalachian State
153) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- D.J. Dale, DT, Alabama
154) Seattle Seahawks- Asim Richards, OT/G, North Carolina
155) San Francisco 49ers (from Miami)- K.J. Henry, DE, Clemson
156) Los Angeles Chargers- Cameron Brown, CB, Ohio State
157) Baltimore Ravens- Chase Brown, RB, Illinois
158) Minnesota Vikings- Dylan Horton, EDGE, TCU
159) Atlanta Falcons (from Jacksonville)- Jay Ward, S, LSU
160) New York Giants- Jordan McFadden,
G, Clemson
161) Houston Texans (from Dallas)- Mike Morris, EDGE, Michigan
162) Indianapolis Colts (from Buffalo)- Christopher Smith, S, Georgia
163) Cincinnati Bengals- Warren McLendon, OT, Georgia
164) San Francisco 49ers- Tre Tucker, WR, Cincinnati
165) New Orleans Saints (from Philadelphia)- Earl Bostick Jr., OT/G, Kansas
166) Kansas City Chiefs- DeWayne McBride, RB, UAB
167) Los Angeles Rams (Compensatory Selection)- Dorian Thompson-Robinson, QB,
UCLA
Is Matthew Stafford healthy? Who knows. But they need a solid backup now that Baker
is in Tampa Bay. DTR has had an
excellent pre-Draft journey, and likely will go higher than Round 5.
168) Arizona Cardinals (Compensatory Selection)- Jaren Hall, QB, BYU
We know that Kyler Murray isn’t healthy, and their backup
options aren’t great (sorry Colt McCoy). Jaren Hall can fill that void until Arizona
likely picks towards the top of the Draft in 2024, and has to make a difficult
decision with Kyler.
169) Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Selection)- Jarrett Patterson, OC, Notre Dame
170) New York Jets (from Green Bay) (Compensatory Selection)- Josh Whyle, TE,
Cincinnati
171) Los Angeles Rams (Compensatory Selection)- TJ Bass, OT/G, Oregon
172) New York Giants (Compensatory Selection)- Jake Andrews, C, Troy
173) San Francisco 49ers (Compensatory Selection)- Anthony Bradford, G, LSU
174) Las Vegas Raiders (Compensatory Selection)- Tanner McKee, QB, Stanford
A QB run! Jimmy G needs a backup when he inevitably gets
hurt, and McKee is a similar player.
175) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Compensatory Selection)- Stetson Bennett, QB,
Georgia
Stetson Bennet and Baker Mayfield in the same QB room? That’s fun!
Bennett could also win that job.
176) Indianapolis Colts from Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Selection)- Lonnie
Phelps, OLB, Kansas
177) Los Angeles Rams (Compensatory Selection)- Nesta Jade SIlvera, DT, Arizona
State
Round 6
178) Kansas City Chiefs (from Chicago through Miami)- Brandon
Hill, S, Pittsburgh
179) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from Houston)- Ventrell Miller, ILB, Florida
180) Arizona Cardinals- Kendre Miller, RB, TCU
181) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from Indianapolis)- Andrei Iosivas, WR, Princeton
182) Los Angeles Rams- Anthony Johnson Jr., S, Iowa State
183) Detroit Lions (from Denver)- Jaxson Kirkland, IOL, Washington
184) New England Patriots (from Las Vegas)- Mohamoud Diabate, LB, Utah
185) Jacksonville Jaguars (from N.Y. Jets)- Jerrod Clark, DT, Coastal Carolina
186) Tennessee Titans (from Atlanta)- Alex Forsyth, OC, Oregon
187) New England Patriots (from Carolina)- Jason Taylor II, S, Oklahoma State
188) Houston Texans (from New Orleans)- Demarcco Hellams, S, Alabama
189) Los Angeles Rams (from Tennessee)- Dee Winters, LB, TCU
190) Cleveland Browns- DJ Johnson, EDGE, Oregon
191) Los Angeles Rams (from Green Bay)- Payne Durham, TE, Purdue
192) New England Patriots- Ochaun Mathis, EDGE, Nebraska
193) Washington Commanders- Habakkuk Baldonado, EDGE, Pitt
194) Detroit Lions- Jake Moody, K, Michigan
KICKER! Apparently the Lions really want Moody, even though
they have Michael Badgley signed.
195) Denver Broncos (from Pittsburgh)- Tank Bigsby, RB, Auburn
196) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Nick Saldiveri, G, Old Dominion
197) Miami Dolphins- Tyler Lacy, DT/E, Oklahoma State
198) Seattle Seahawks- Cameron Young, DT, Mississippi State
199) Baltimore Ravens- Wanya Morris, OT, Oklahoma
200) Los Angeles Chargers- Brandon Joseph, S, Notre Dame
201) Houston Texans (from Minnesota)- Deuce Vaughn, RB, Kansas State
202) Jacksonville Jaguars- Richard Gouraige, OT/G, Florida
203) Houston Texans (from N.Y. Giants)- Trey Palmer, WR, Nebraska
204) Las Vegas Raiders (from Dallas)- Jon Gaines II, G/C, UCLA
205) Buffalo Bills- Justin Shorter, WR, Florida
206) Cincinnati Bengals- Kenny McIntosh, RB, Georgia
207) Green Bay Packers (from SF/Houston and New York Jets)- Aubrey Miller Jr.,
LB, Jackson State
208) Jacksonville Jaguars (from Philadelphia)- Chamarri Conner, S, Virginia
Tech
209) New York Giants (from Kansas City)- Sean Tucker, RB, Syracuse
210) New England Patriots (Compensatory Selection)- Hunter Luepke, FB/TE, North
Dakota State
211) Minnesota Vikings (Compensatory Selection)- Anfernee Orji, LB, Vanderbilt
212) Dallas Cowboys (Compensatory Selection)- Chad Ryland, K, Maryland
KICKER! As we saw last year, Dallas desperately needs an
upgrade at kicker.
213) Arizona Cardinals (Compensatory Selection)- Parker Washington, WR, Penn
State
214) Las Vegas Raiders (Compensatory Selection)- Chris Rodriguez Jr, RB,
Kentucky
215) Washington Commanders (Compensatory Selection)- Keaton Mitchell, RB, East
Carolina
216) San Francisco 49ers (Compensatory Selection)- Dante Stills, DT, West
Virginia
217) Kansas City Chiefs (Compensatory Selection)- Ryan Hayes, OT, Michigan
Round 7
218) Chicago Bears- Sirvocea Dennis, LB Pittsburgh
219) Philadelphia Eagles (from Houston through Minnesota)- Atonio Mafi, IOL,
UCLA
220) Las Vegas Raiders (from Arizona)- Ali Gaye, EDGE, LSU
221) Indianapolis Colts- Roschon Johnson, RB, Texas
222) San Francisco 49ers (from Denver)- Brayden Willis, TE/FB, Oklahoma
223) Los Angeles Rams- Alex Ward, LS, UCF
A legit need! The Packers
signed the Rams long-snapper, so the only long-snapper that was invited to the
Combine gets to go play in SoFi.
224) Atlanta Falcons (from Las Vegas)- Andrew Vorhees, G, USC
225) Atlanta Falcons- Dontay Demus Jr., WR, Maryland
226) Jacksonville Jaguars (from Carolina)- Derius Davis, WR, TCU
227) New Orleans Saints- Aidan O’Connell, QB, Purdue

Michael Jefferson was rated as a mid-round prospect. However, he was recently in a fairly serious
car crash. Thankfully, he is expected to
make a full recovery. I think the Texans
draft and sign him, put him on the IR, and stash him away until 2024, leading
to an excellent comeback story.
There we go! Let me
know what you think. Who do you want
your team to take? When will the QBs
go? How many trades will there be? We will find out Thursday night and
throughout the weekend! Enjoy the Draft
my friends, and thanks for reading!
