The trade of Justin Fields to the Steelers ended any lingering doubt about what the Bears plan to do with the No. 1 pick. They’re taking a quarterback and it’d be a shock if it’s anyone other than Williams.

Oddsmakers are slightly leaning toward Jayden Daniels being the Commanders’ selection, but it’s far from a sure thing. I’m still going with Maye until there’s more smoke to that fire.

New Patriots coach Jerod Mayo says quarterback is the priority with the No. 3 pick. While that could change if they don’t love the third passer off the board, Daniels should be more than exciting enough for New England to build around.

Trade details:
– Vikings receive No. 4 (1st)
– Cardinals receive No. 11 (1st), No. 23 (1st), and No. 129 (4th)

The consensus seems to be that McCarthy will be the fourth passer taken and there will be a battle among a few teams to trade up to secure him. If the Vikings offer up both of their first-round picks, that’d be hard for the Cardinals — a team with plenty of needs to address — to pass up.

Would Jim Harbaugh really welcome a Buckeye with the first draft pick of his Chargers era? When that player is as talented and special as Harrison, he better.

The best case scenario for the Giants is four quarterbacks in the top five, because that’ll leave them with Harrison or Nabers at No. 6. With one of those pass catchers on the board, there’s not a lot of decision necessary for New York.

The Titans aggressively addressed some of their needs in March, adding wide receiver Calvin Ridley and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed on huge contracts, as well as center Lloyd Cushenberry and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie. The team’s hole at left tackle looks like the obvious problem to fix with the No. 7 pick.

The Falcons made big moves on offense in free agency, but allowed both Calais Campbell and Bud Dupree — their two sack leaders — to hit the market. ESPN’s Jordan Reid and Field Yates are both banging the drum for Turner to Atlanta and the dearth of talent at the position makes it a logical choice.

Trade details:
– Jaguars receive No. 9 (1st)
– Bears receive No. 17 (1st), No. 96 (3rd), and 2025 second-round pick

It’s a swing for the fences from Jacksonville, but it may be warranted after losing Ridley. The Jaguars don’t just need another receiver, they need a No. 1 who will draw coverage away from Christian Kirk and the newly added Gabe Davis.

Last year, the Jaguars traded back and picked 13 times in the 2023 NFL draft. It’d make sense if the team was a little more urgent in adding a premium talent like Odunze before a drop-off in talent at the position.

The Jets added Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses to protect Aaron Rodgers, but both players are 33 and Smith has struggled to stay healthy. In Fuaga, the Jets would get a developmental player to eventually take over who is also polished enough to contribute immediately in the case of injury.

After trading down, the three top receivers are off the board. But pass rusher may be an even more pressing need for the Cardinals after finishing 30th in the NFL in sacks last season. Verse would give them a premier talent to pair with second-year pass rusher BJ Ojulari.

Quarterback is the biggest issue for the Broncos, but with four already off the board, a fifth passer feels premature. Instead, Denver gets the top cornerback of the class to pair with Pat Surtain.

All the logic for the Broncos applies here too. It’s a similar story for the Raiders with four quarterbacks off the board and a premium cornerback making more sense instead.

Trevor Penning hasn’t panned out in the two seasons since he was picked in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft. His lack of progress coupled with the injury concerns for Ryan Ramczyk make Fashanu a good investment for the Saints.

The Colts’ future is in Anthony Richardson’s hands and there’s nothing that would be better for the young passer’s development than a huge, reliable target like Bowers in the middle of the field.

After Damien Lewis signed a massive deal with the Panthers and Phil Haynes also hit the open market, the Seahawks don’t have a clear starter at either guard spot. Barton was a tackle at Duke, but looks well suited to make an immediate impact on the interior.

Montez Sweat led the Bears in sacks last season despite playing only nine games with the team. After moving down eight picks, Chicago can still get some much-needed pass rushing help.

While the Bengals signed Sheldon Rankins in free agency, it’s still a downgrade after losing D.J. Reader. By adding Murphy to the interior, Cincinnati would shore up a line that allowed the third most rushing yards per carry last season.

There are teams with a more immediate need at quarterback, but the Rams don’t have a secure future at the position with Jimmy Garoppolo backing up the 36-year-old and oft-injured Matthew Stafford. By adding Nix, Los Angeles could prepare for its next chapter after Stafford’s time comes to an end.

Trade details:
– 49ers receive No. 20 (1st) and No. 120 (4th)
– Eagles receive No. 31 (1st) and No. 63 (2nd)

The 49ers’ roster is stacked, but the offensive line needs work. There will likely be talent still on the board at No. 31, but San Francisco can afford to slide up and take their pick of the litter earlier in the order.

Keeping Terron Armstead and signing Aaron Brewer makes the Dolphins’ offensive line needs a little less dire. But there’s work to be done and Fautanu offers a significant upgrade from Isaiah Wynn at left guard and a potential replacement for Armstead in the future.

Darius Slay turned 33 earlier this year and James Bradberry will turn 31 this summer. While the Eagles may have one replacement on the roster in Kelee Ringo, there’s a clear need for cornerbacks and Wiggins provides top talent at the position.

The Cardinals passed on the chance to add Marvin Harrison Jr. earlier in the draft and moved down to take Jared Verse at No. 11 overall instead. Now they get their receiver with the other first-round pick they acquired from Minnesota.

If the 2024 season started today, second-year undrafted player Brock Hoffman would likely be the favorite to start at center for the Cowboys. Picking Powers-Johnson to take over in the middle is a much more favorable scenario.

How confident are the Packers in Rasheed Walker at left tackle? The former seventh-round pick started a lot of games in 2023 and showed promising things. It’d be hard to pass up on the chance to add Latham up front, though.

After trading away Carlton Davis mostly to save salary cap space, the Buccaneers are left with Jamel Dean and a couple young options in Zyon McCollum and Christian Izien. The position would look a lot more set if DeJean was added to the secondary, though.

The third of the Cardinals’ three first-round picks is used to add another disruptor to the defensive line. With Johnny Newton added to the mix, the Arizona defense suddenly has a formidable front for Jonathan Gannon to work with.

Adding Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins, and K.J. Hamler largely negated the losses of Gabe Davis and Trent Sherfield. It still doesn’t give the Bills much of a scary alternative to Stefon Diggs, though. Mitchell can be the additional big play threat that Josh Allen needs.

The Lions made a few moves at cornerback, adding Carlton Davis in a trade and signing Amik Robertson in free agency. Still, there’s more work to be done and the recent departure of Cam Sutton didn’t help. McKinstry could provide the Detroit secondary with a significant boost.

Nearly a third of the Ravens’ sack total in 2023 came from the duo of Jadeveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noy, who combined for 18.5. Both are free agents now and Baltimore needs young edge rushing talent, regardless.

After solving their quarterback issue (at least for next season), the Steelers can turn their attention to filling the void left by the trade that sent Diontae Johnson to the Panthers. Legette is the yards-after-catch threat that would perfectly complement George Pickens on the other side.

L’Jarius Sneed is out and the Chiefs need another aggressive, press-capable cornerback to give Steve Spagnuolo freedom to do what he does. Lassiter fits the bill.
