    1) Tennessee Titans

    Cam Ward, QB, Miami

    The growing sense in the wake of the NFL Combine was that the first overall pick is for sale. As the Aaron Rodgers saga continues, it feels like the New York Giants may be the outliers despite their utter desperation to lure the future Hall of Famer. Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if Giants general manager Joe Schoen broke the glass on the nuclear codes when piecing together an offer to save his job.

    In the meantime, the Titans still own the No. 1 overall pick. Their only free-agent acquisition at the quarterback position was journeyman Brandon Allen, and I would be hard-pressed to believe that Brian Callahan would like to run it back with Will Levis. Therefore, I’m operating under the assumption that Ward is the plan with this selection, providing the Titans with an immediate upgrade at the game’s most important position.

    He boasts a strong arm, exceptional pocket presence, and the ability to deliver accurate throws with both touch and velocity when he has a solid base. His ability to throw from multiple body angles and excel in pull-to-run or pull-to-throw situations makes him a dual-threat weapon. Ward’s dynamic skill set could provide an immediate boost to one of the NFL’s most lackluster offenses.

    2) Cleveland Browns

    Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State

    Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and the Cleveland Browns being stuck in quarterback purgatory. Yet again they find themselves at the top of the draft searching for a signal-caller. They could take a gamble on a quarterback here—if one even wants to play for them—but the smarter move is staring them right in the face.

    The drop-off from Shedeur Sanders to guys like Jaxson Dart or Tyler Shough, who could be taken later as a flier, isn’t significant enough to justify reaching. Instead of rolling the dice on an imperfect quarterback prospect, the Browns land the best player in the draft.

    Carter is a blue-chip talent with elite pass-rushing ability and positional versatility. The 6’3″, 251-pound edge rusher made the switch from inside linebacker to full-time edge defender for Penn State in 2024 and thrived. He’s an explosive disruptor with elite get-off speed, and when he keeps his pad level low, he’s nearly unblockable. Lining him up opposite Myles Garrett? That’s a nightmare for opposing offenses.

    3) New York Giants

    Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

    The current Giants regime somehow survived a tumultuous and embarrassing 2024 season, but their lifeboat is taking on water fast. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are beyond desperate for a franchise quarterback. This is certainly their last shot to get it right.

    The recent additions of both 31-year-old Jameis Winston and 36-year-old Russell Wilson imply they’re bridge quarterbacks rather than a long-term solution. Both can help right the ship while their future franchise quarterback acclimates and develops.

    The son of “Prime Time” Deion Sanders, Shedeur has many of the traits and the pedigree to be a franchise quarterback in the National Football League — along with the personality to thrive in the Big Apple. He’s no stranger to the spotlight or the weight of lofty expectations. In fact, he craves it.

    Sanders has a live arm capable of layering throws with pinpoint accuracy and precision. His strong, balanced lower body allows him to fend off pressure and deliver accurate off-platform throws. Sanders is comfortable operating in rhythm or improvising off-schedule. His pocket mobility and ability to extend plays with his legs, paired with his toughness and grit, make him an ideal fit for the Big Blue. Additionally, the hope of a young quarterback could buy coach Daboll and Schoen more time.

    4) New England Patriots

    Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

    In true Patriots fashion, general manager Eliot Wolf and new head coach Mike Vrabel used free agency to shore up the roster’s biggest holes, setting themselves up to take the best player available in the draft.

    The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner was a dynamic presence on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball and could continue his two-way dominance in the NFL.

    As a receiver, Hunter has an exceptional feel for space, separation speed, smooth and efficient change of direction, elite body control, strong and natural hands, and always finds a way to come down with the football. He is a dynamic playmaker who always rises to the occasion.

    On the defensive side, Hunter is equally impressive. A physical and willing tackler, he showcases elite ball skills, sharp instincts, and quick, decisive break ability. Hunter has a knack for making plays regardless of his position. He plays to win.

    With Carlton Davis and Christian Gonzalez already on the roster at corner, I would expect Hunter to arrive in Foxboro as the Patriots’ top receiving option.

    5) Jacksonville Jaguars

    Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

    The Jaguars once again find themselves near the top of the draft order, a reflection of a struggling franchise and defensive unit that struggled mightily in 2024, recording just 34 sacks – one of the league’s worst totals. With the fifth overall pick, Jacksonville has a prime opportunity to bolster its defensive front and regain control of the trenches.

    Mason Graham stands out as one of the most complete football players in this draft class. A disciplined defender, he excels against the run and is a powerful pass rusher. He consistently establishes leverage, utilizes intentional hand placement, and is a relentless finisher.

    Graham is a true difference-maker and could be the missing puzzle piece this defense desperately needs. It would be a great first selection for young general manager James Gladstone.

    6) Las Vegas Raiders

    Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

    The Raiders’ trade for Geno Smith effectively removes them from the first-round quarterback conversation. Much like Smith and 73-year-old head coach Pete Carroll did in Seattle, the Raiders will look to win with an efficient offense built around a strong rushing attack.

    Nobody is better to lead the attack than Jeanty. The 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up is a bona fide blue-chip prospect and generational talent. He is a dynamic playmaker who possesses elite contact balance, remarkable power and durability, dangerous top-end speed, and the ability to flip the field on a single cut. He has the ability to be an instant game-changer and a foundational piece for a rebuilding organization. Jeanty is an X-Factor.

    7) New York Jets

    Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

    Membou has flown up draft boards over recent weeks with his athleticism and power garnering significant buzz. Here he finally jumps LSU’s Will Campbell as the first offensive lineman off the board.

    He’s an elite athlete with exceptional flexibility, scoring a 9.89 on the RAS metric. His ability to maintain leverage, anchor effectively, and play with a consistently low pad level makes him a force up front. His lateral quickness is a major asset in the run game, particularly as a puller, and his positional versatility has some projecting a potential move to guard. Regardless of where he lines up, selecting Membou is a strategic investment in protecting Justin Fields and giving first-year coordinator Tanner Engstrand’s offense a chance to flourish.

    8) Carolina Panthers

    Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia

    The 2024 Butkus Award recipient is a versatile EDGE/LB hybrid who will be a great fit in defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero’s 3-4 system. Walker is a quick, explosive rusher who consistently disrupts the backfield, but his athleticism allows him to seamlessly transition between edge rusher and linebacker. He’s a physical tackler with great strength, demonstrating discipline and conviction in his play. As a dynamic chess piece, he could be a matchup nightmare all over the field—one that GM Dan Morgan won’t be able to pass up.

    9) New Orleans Saints

    Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

    After 14 seasons, franchise legend Cam Jordan is nearing the end of his illustrious NFL career. While he’s committed to a 15th season in New Orleans, the Saints would be wise to add reinforcements to their pass rush as they prepare for the future.

    Williams is an explosive pass rusher with all the traits needed to become one of the league’s elite. His combination of speed and power is impressive, but it’s his ability to bend, collapse his frame, and establish leverage that sets him apart. Whether using savvy moves or overwhelming offensive linemen with a powerful bull rush, he’s a dynamic talent. Williams is simply too talented for the Saints to pass on as they look to bolster their foundation in this rebuild.

    10) Chicago Bears

    Will Campbell, OT, Louisiana State

    General manager Ryan Poles made a concerted effort in the 2024 offseason to surround rookie quarterback Caleb Williams with playmakers, adding running back D’Andre Swift and receivers Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. However, the offensive line didn’t receive the same level of attention, and it quickly became apparent. Williams and the Bears’ offense came dangerously close to breaking the single-season record for most sacks allowed, with a staggering 68.

    Poles wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice. Ahead of free agency, the Bears fortified their offensive line by trading for Rams guard Jonah Jackson and former Chiefs All-Pro Joe Thuney. Then, just hours into the negotiating window, they secured top free-agent center Drew Dalman. It’s clear Chicago is fully committed to shifting the tides in the Windy City under new head coach Ben Johnson.

    Even though Campbell’s arms measured shorter than desired, he possesses a rock-solid base, quick and powerful feet, and the ability to generate force with every movement. His anchor is firm, and his lateral quickness, paired with sharp hand-fighting skills, makes him more than capable of neutralizing finesse rushers. If that’s not enough, his 9.89 RAS score only reinforces the fact that he’s an athletic freak.

    11) San Francisco 49ers

    Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

    John Lynch and the 49ers organization are looking to rebuild on the fly while attempting to maintain their position as a contender in the NFC, disregarding how Murphy’s law impacted their 2024 campaign.

    With Charvarius Ward and Talanoa Hufanga departing in free agency, San Francisco faces an urgent need in the secondary. Barron is one of the premier defensive backs in this draft class. The 2024 Jim Thorpe Award winner is a seasoned veteran with 56 career games under his belt, including 38 starts for the Longhorns. A true lockdown defender, he racked up 11 pass breakups and five interceptions in his final season while also proving to be a strong and reliable tackler. Versatility is a major selling point—he can step in immediately and make an impact at nickel, corner, or safety, filling multiple roles in the 49ers’ defense.

    12) Dallas Cowboys

    Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

    Golden wasn’t only the fastest receiver at the combine, he was the fastest player. His 4.29 40-time isn’t the sole reason he’s being considered here; it simply further validates his impressive film from both Houston and Texas.

    The 6’0”, 195-pound receiver is an elite route runner who operates best from the slot. He is comfortable in traffic, controls the middle of the field, and has a great feel for space. The lightning-quick playmaker has seemingly sure hands and can add yet another explosive element to a receiver room led by CeeDee Lamb.

    The Cowboys are in desperate need of additional offensive firepower, and here they get a star that doesn’t even need to leave the Lone Star State.

    13) Miami Dolphins

    Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas

    If the Dolphins have any hope of making a deep run, they need to prioritize protecting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. It’s no secret—Miami is a completely different team when he’s off the field, and without him, the Dolphins struggle to stay competitive. Strengthening the offensive line isn’t just a priority; it’s a necessity.

    The 20-year-old prospect has a 6’4”, 320-pound frame and elite athleticism. His combination of agility and smooth movement makes him a standout, particularly in the run game, where he thrives when pulling and operating in space. Banks plays with a strong base, light feet, and excellent hand placement, enabling him to dominate at the point of attack while avoiding penalties. He is a very young and skilled prospect who boasts immense upside.

    Some believe that Banks will be a guard as his career develops, but his positional versatility makes him increasingly valuable for a team desperate to protect its $212 million quarterback.

    14) Indianapolis Colts

    Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

    General manager Chris Ballard has always prioritized selecting the best player available, and with Warren as one of just four blue-chip prospects in this draft class—the last one remaining—his choice is clear.

    During the 2024 NFL Draft, Ballard aggressively worked the phones in an attempt to trade up for Georgia’s Brock Bowers, but no team was willing to budge. The Raiders ultimately took the rookie Pro Bowler two picks before Indy’s turn.

    At 6’6” and 261 pounds, Warren fits the Colts’ mold perfectly. He’s a blue-chip talent who excels in every facet of the game—a fearless competitor, a dominant run blocker, and a physical yet refined receiver with explosive run-after-the-catch ability. A no-brainer for Indianapolis in April.

    15) Atlanta Falcons

    James Pearce, EDGE, Tennessee

    General manager Terry Fontenot certainly enjoys keeping the rest of the league guessing, but this pick is too easy to screw up… at least it seems that way. The Falcons are in desperate need of a legitimate pass rusher, and here they get their pick of a strong cluster.

    Pearce overwhelms tackles with speed and finesse but be careful not to underestimate his power. He has no problem walking tackles straight back into the pocket. He’s dominant with his speed and athleticism and lethal on stunts.

    16) Arizona Cardinals

    Grey Zabel, OT, North Dakota State

    The Cardinals bolstered their defensive front in free agency, paving the way for significant draft capital to be spent improving and solidifying their offense.

    The 6’6”, 305-pound FCS All-American is one of the most versatile prospects in this draft class. During his impressive career at NDSU, Zabel has played at least 100 snaps at every position on the offensive line. At a minimum, Zabel can contribute immediately at any spot on the offensive line.

    17) Cincinnati Bengals

    Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama

    New defensive coordinator Al Golden has his work cut out for him in Cincinnati. The Bengals’ defense squandered one of the greatest single-season performances of our generation by MVP candidate Joe Burrow. Despite Burrow’s heroic efforts, Ja’Marr Chase claiming the triple crown (receptions, touchdowns, yards), and Trey Hendrickson leading the league in sacks, the Bengals still found a way to miss the playoffs because they couldn’t stop anyone.

    With the front office focused on locking in Chase, Tee Higgins, and Hendrickson to long-term deals, little has been done this offseason to improve a defense in desperate need of reinforcements, meaning a defensive overhaul could be coming in the draft.

    Campbell is a pure off-ball linebacker but can rush off the edge. He’s instinctive, intuitive, and disciplined. Campbell excels at getting his eyes in the right place, reacting quickly, and making decisive plays. His conviction makes him a reliable tackler and a perfect fit for a defense looking to add a steady, impactful presence. He’s the kind of prospect that the Bengals can build Golden’s new defense around.

    18) Seattle Seahawks

    Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama

    Mike Macdonald and his staff are well aware that their offense ranked at the bottom of nearly every meaningful metric. The offensive line gave up 54 sacks, tied for third worst, and was ranked the fifth-worst rushing offense in the league in 2024. Bolstering the offensive line this offseason is a non-negotiable if the Seahawks have any hope of improving offensively in 2025.

    Booker, at 6’5” and 325 pounds, is a young talent who has renowned leadership skills. He’s a powerful presence in both pass protection and the run game, excelling at delivering a dominant first punch while maintaining excellent pad level. He’s a Day 1 starter who can add a physical presence to the offense.

    19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

    Mike Evans just completed his 11th season in the NFL, once again recording over 1,000 receiving yards on a ceremonious reception in the final week of the regular season. While Evans seems like a timeless wonder, he can’t play forever, especially at such a dynamic level. On top of Evans’ inevitable aging, his running mate, Chris Godwin, is 29 and finished last season on IR due to a dislocated ankle, the second serious lower-body injury of his career.

    At 6’5”, McMillan is the definition of a mismatch nightmare for defensive backs. He’s far more than a token red-zone weapon—he’s a smooth, polished receiver with excellent body control and the ability to transition in and out of breaks fluidly. He’s a physical player who craves the contested catch and is an elite tracker of the football.

    He’s a plug-and-play receiver with legitimate upside. Tampa would be a perfect fit, allowing McMillan to learn and develop alongside a similar-styled player who is on the expressway to receiving a coveted gold jacket five years following the completion of his career.

    20) Denver Broncos

    Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

    The Broncos filled their need for a “joker” when acquiring Evan Engram following his release from the Jaguars, paving the way for them to immediately upgrade their backfield with a true home-run threat.

    The two-time First-Team All-ACC selection and CFN ACC Running Back of the Year boasts elite change-of-direction skills, lightning-quick burst, breakaway speed, powerful leg drive, patience, and exceptional vision. Pairing Hampton with an offensive skill group that includes Engram and Courtland Sutton creates layers of complexity to an already difficult offense to scheme against.

    21) Pittsburgh Steelers

    Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi

    The Aaron Rodgers saga continues, and if history is any indication, it may continue for some time. Regardless, if Rodgers chooses to join the Steelers, he would likely be a one-to-two-year rental, and Mason Rudolph will serve as little more than a bridge. The Steelers are actively searching for a long-term solution at quarterback, and they are deeply invested in finding one.

    In his final season with the Rebels, Dart finished with career highs in each significant category including completion percentage, yards, touchdowns, and QBR, while only accounting for five interceptions.

    With 41 starts over four years, the 21-year-old is a seasoned prospect. He’s a smooth operator and a gritty competitor with a little moxie. His dual-threat ability stretches the defense thin and keeps them honest in the RPO game, which is what he does best.

    He can deliver an accurate ball with touch at all levels of the field and is not afraid to stick in the pocket and deliver a throw in the face of pressure, or lower his shoulder in the open field to pick up a few extra yards.

    22) Los Angeles Chargers

    Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

    Harbaugh is a dynamic leader and masterful culture builder, relentlessly focused on bringing the right people into his organization to instill his winning mentality.

    If Loveland is still on the board, this makes too much sense. The 6’5″, three-star tight end that Harbaugh personally recruited to Michigan in 2022 is a perfect fit for the Chargers in Round 1. Loveland, a 2024 Mackey Award finalist, is a smooth, natural receiver with exceptional body control and the ability to high-point the ball. He’s a consistent threat over the middle and versatile enough to line up outside or in line to contribute to the run game. A true go-getter, Loveland is a do-it-all player who would quickly become any quarterback’s best friend.

    23) Green Bay Packers

    Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

    The Packers desperately need to bolster their secondary. Johnson is a two-time All-American and was named a CSN pre-season All-American in 2024 before his season was cut short due to turf toe, sidelining him for the final five games.

    Johnson is a ball hawk. With nine career interceptions, he’s proven himself as one of the draft’s elite defensive backs. He has great eye discipline, sharp instincts, savvy ball skills, and breaks on the ball with precision and confidence. He’s not shy about being involved in the run game either. He is a physical tackler in the run game and doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s not just an instant impact player; he’s a tone-setter.

    24) Minnesota Vikings

    Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina

    A First-Team All-American and CFN Safety of the Year, Emmanwori is undeniably a first-round talent. He was one of only three members of the 2025 NFL Draft Class to achieve a perfect 10.0 on the RAS metric.

    Emmanwori boasts a remarkable frame, elite instincts, and exceptional ball skills. A rangy athlete and dynamic coverage threat, he is also more than willing to step up in the run game. In 2024, Emmanwori led the Gamecocks with 88 tackles, showcasing his ability to impact all areas of the field.

    For a team that recently lost Cam Bynum to the Colts and with veteran Harrison Smith entering his 14th year, Emmanwori would be an incredibly valuable addition.

    25) Houston Texans

    Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

    Without question, the Texans’ offensive line needs a complete overhaul after a 2024 season in which franchise quarterback C.J. Stroud was sacked 54 times.

    The recent trades of star left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Commanders and guard Kenyon Green to the Eagles marked the beginning of a full-scale rebrand for a unit that ranked among the league’s worst. After allowing nearly a league-high 54 sacks, Houston is making it clear that changes are coming.

    General manager Nick Caserio has been proactive this offseason, knowing there is no time to waste in protecting the young face of the franchise. The Texans have already brought in veterans Trent Brown, Cam Robinson, Laken Tomlinson, and Ed Ingram to provide immediate support.

    Although those moves may provide short-term stability, Houston’s veteran additions are far closer to the end of their careers than the beginning, leaving the long-term outlook of the offensive line in question. Furthermore, Robinson’s one-year deal—after allowing more pressures than any offensive lineman last season—signals little in terms of future commitment.

    At 6’5”, 310 pounds, Simmons is an elite athlete with natural bend, quick feet, and fluid movement. He plays with tight hands, maintains leverage, and is dominant in space. Simmons entered 2024 as a potential blue-chip prospect and was on pace to be the top offensive lineman in the 2025 draft class.

    Simmons suffered a torn patellar tendon in October against Oregon and missed the remainder of the season. Had Simmons remained healthy, he’d likely be a top-10 selection. Here at 26, Simmons is far too good of a value to pass up.

    26) Los Angeles Rams

    Trey Amos, CB, Mississippi

    Les Snead has had a change of heart. Even with aging superstars like Matthew Stafford and the newly acquired Davante Adams, Snead is focusing on building sustainably rather than reverting to the win-now model as he did when they acquired Stafford in 2021. With a newfound appreciation for draft capital, this pick would mark only his second first-round selection since taking Jared Goff first overall in 2016.

    Amos is a smooth, confident defender with natural instincts and patience. He consistently positions himself well and makes decisive breaks on the ball. His above-average ball skills allow him to play with control and discipline, minimizing penalties. With a 4.43 forty time, he has the speed to match up against most receivers and brings physicality in run support. Adding Amos to a cornerback room that already features Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon would provide much-needed depth and stability to the secondary.

    27) Baltimore Ravens

    Malaki Starks, S, Georgia

    A perennial contender in the AFC for much of the past two decades, general manager Eric DeCosta and the Ravens have built a strong tradition of selecting the best player available.

    Starks is an instinctive center fielder with natural ball skills, highlighted by his six career interceptions, including his lone 2024 pick—an acrobatic grab against Clemson in the season opener. He plays with decisiveness, showcases excellent closing speed, relentless pursuit, and physicality as a run defender. Starks is an immediate plug-and-play defender, strengthening what developed into one of the NFL’s most dominant defensive units as the 2024 season went on.

    28) Detroit Lions

    Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas

    Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have made it clear—they draft players they believe in, regardless of public perception. Critics mocked their 2023 draft selections, calling picks like Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and Jack Campbell reaches. Now, each has become a cornerstone of Detroit’s resurgence.

    Jackson hasn’t received much first-round hype, but he has aced the offseason circuit. He was dominant at the Senior Bowl, tested exceptionally well at the NFL Combine, and has presented well in meetings so far. All of that to go with his impressive film.

    At 6’7″ and 280 pounds, Jackson possesses one of the most physically imposing frames in the 2025 draft class. He recorded 6.5 sacks in 2024, and, despite his length, is highly explosive, showcasing outstanding get-off speed and the ability to bend with power. A high-effort player with relentless pursuit, Jackson has seen his draft stock rise and could creep into the first-round conversation. Jackson looks like a Detroit Lion. Pairing Jackson with Aidan Hutchinson would give Detroit a formidable pass-rushing duo that would quickly rank among the league’s best.

    29) Washington Commanders

    Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M

    The Commanders find themselves in a position to take the best player available, especially when it aligns with a position of relative need.

    Stewart was the belle of the ball at the NFL Scouting Combine, running a 4.59 40-yard dash, broad jumping 10’11”, and vertical jumping 40” at 6’5” and 267 pounds. He is one of only three prospects in this draft class to score a perfect 10.0 on the RAS metric. These impressive feats showcase his elite athleticism.

    It’s important to acknowledge that while Stewart possesses impressive physical traits, his production has yet to meet expectations. In three years with the Aggies, he recorded just 4.5 sacks. As a high-risk, high-reward prospect, Stewart has all the physical tools to succeed at the NFL level, and the hype surrounding him is certainly warranted. However, he is likely to be selected earlier than his production suggests he should be.

    30) Buffalo Bills

    Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

    In the AFC Championship Game, the Bills’ defensive front was overpowered. They understand that their path to the Super Bowl goes through Kansas City, and they will come prepared with a strengthened defensive line the next time they meet.

    Harmon is a strong, stout, and powerful interior lineman, possesses a solid base and an explosive initial punch, and plays with a low, smooth posture that minimizes his large frame. At 310 pounds, he’s surprisingly nimble, with the ability to collapse and shrink the pocket. A tenacious block-shedder and elite run defender, it’s nearly impossible to find a player of his size who moves both vertically and laterally as well as he can.

    31) Kansas City Chiefs

    Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon

    Despite a revolving door at left tackle that was temporarily stabilized when Thuney (recently traded to the Chicago Bears) volunteered to move out and fill the gap, general manager Brett Veach is well aware that he needs to do more than just Band-Aid their offensive-line issues.

    After the battering they received from Philadelphia in Super Bowl LIX and the recent trade of Thuney, the Chiefs are most certainly going to address their offensive tackle issue with this pick.

    Conerly is an experienced collegiate player, having played in 41 games with 28 starts for one of the nation’s premier programs. He is a great athlete who can pull and operate in the open field with ease. As a pass protector, he has light and quick feet, maintains good leverage, and has a strong anchor. Conerly does everything well and could be the missing piece the Chiefs have been looking for.

    32) Philadelphia Eagles

    Walter Nolen, DT, Mississippi

    Howie Roseman has solidified himself as one of the NFL’s most successful general managers, thanks in large part to his ability to consistently find value in the draft. His strategy is simple but effective—take the best player available. This approach has helped him build one of the league’s deepest and most talented rosters year after year.

    Nolen is yet another dynamic interior defensive lineman. Despite weighing in at 305 pounds, he plays with remarkable speed, fluidity, and explosiveness. He can collapse the pocket in an instant and is a relentless block-shedder with a lightning-quick get-off. When he’s firing on all cylinders, Nolen can be a completely dominant force. Pairing him with Jalen Carter would create an even more formidable defensive line, making a strong unit even stronger.
