Fit: With Dan Quinn named head coach, there were some rumors flying that the Washington Commanders could look to take a defensive player at No. 2.,

However, quarterback is and should be the pick. Drake Maye is my QB1 in the draft and gives the Commanders their first high-end QB1 in a long time.

Fit: There are a lot of whispers about the New England Patriots trading back from No. 3, but we’re not doing trades, and the need for a franchise quarterback means Jayden Daniels makes the most sense. 

The Patriots could elect to build the roster and drop the quarterback in later, but adding a dual-threat option in Daniels is the most exciting way to start a new era in New England.

Fit: Similar to the Williams and Maye selections, the Marvin Harrison Jr. selection at No. 4 feels like a lock. New England not taking a quarterback could throw a wrench in this, but Harrison is the draft’s top wide receiver by a wide margin and fills the Arizona Cardinals' biggest need. 

Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 240 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: Whether it’s a wide receiver, tight end or offensive lineman, it’s almost a lock that the Los Angeles Chargers selection at No. 5 will be an offensive player. 

Brock Bowers and Malik Nabers are the betting favorites but do not sleep on the Chargers trading back or taking a franchise right tackle early to solidify the offensive line to protect Justin Herbert.

Height: 6-foot
Weight: 200 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: In this mock draft scenario, the draft fell perfectly for the New York Giants. Malik Nabers is the caliber of player this offense has been missing for a while. 

If a quarterback falls to them at six, it will be interesting to see what the Giants do, given Daniel Jones' contract situation and injury. Still, you can’t go wrong with adding an explosive receiver to the mix to help whoever will play quarterback during the next few seasons.

Height: 6-foot-8

Class: Junior

Fit: There are multiple picks early in the first round that just feel like perfect fits, and Joe Alt to the Tennessee Titans is one of them. Alt is the top left tackle in this class for most analysts and could solve some of the Titans’ protection and run game issue. 

Next season is a big year for determining Will Levis’ future. Solidifying the protection up front and adding some talent at receiver will go a long way in the overall evaluation. 

Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 242 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: Without one of the top three quarterbacks falling to the Atlanta Falcons, you can expect them to consider one of the top edge rushers or cornerbacks. 

While there is no consensus EDGE1 in this year's class, Dallas Turner’s upside, given his size, length and athletic traits makes him an intriguing plug-and-play option.

Height: 6-foot
Weight: 196 pounds
Class: Sophomore

Fit: As we have seen during the past few weeks, Rome Odunze is starting to gain more traction inside the top 10. Odunze’s size, route-running and contested-catch ability are a perfect weapon to have for a young quarterback and a perfect complement to DJ Moore in the Bears’ offense. 

Odunze could be some team’s WR2 based on how his refined route running at his size and his ability to win at the catch point at all three levels of the field.

Height: 6-foot-6

Fit: The New York Jets are in desperate need of tackle help, and Olu Fashanu is a perfect fit for their offense. For some reason, Fashanu has seemingly fallen a bit. 

Any team needing offensive line help in the top 10 should be elated to land him. Fashanu is athletic, technically sound and one of the cleaner offensive line prospects coming out of college in recent years.

Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 202 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: While Minnesota Vikings fans will likely argue this selection, I think we need to prepare ourselves for J.J. McCarthy going much earlier than we expect. 

The Vikings have no option at quarterback, with Kirk Cousins injured and hitting free agency. While McCarthy could need a year or two before he’s ready to reach his ceiling, he possesses the arm talent, accuracy and athleticism to develop into a high-end quarterback.

Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 265 pounds
Class: Senior

Fit: For my money, Laiatu Latu is the top edge rusher in this class and fills a big void in the Denver Broncos defense. Latu’s toolbox is the deepest in this class, and he can win with speed, power and technique from multiple alignments. 

Latu’s medicals are one of the few concerns in his evaluation, but if cleared, he should be a steal for the Broncos with the 12th overall pick.

Height: 6-foot
Weight: 196 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: Anytime you can draft the class’s top cornerback outside the top 10, do it. Terrion Arnold is big, long, fast and physical and has NFL-ready ball skills to be a lockdown cover cornerback. 

With Antonio Pierce running the show, expect the Las Vegas Raiders to build a tough locker-room mentality with physical football players. Arnold fits that description perfectly and could be a piece to finally get this defense over the top.

Height: 6-foot-7
Weight: 328 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: An unpopular selection in last week's mock draft was the New Orleans Saints selection of Tyler Guyton with the 14th overall pick. Guyton did not dominate the Senior Bowl as many expected, but he played a quality left tackle after playing primarily on the right side at Oklahoma.

The Saints have a long-term option at right tackle in Ryan Ramczyk, so finding their left tackle is the priority, likely knocking out Taliese Fuaga, JC Latham and Amarius Mims. 

Guyton is a bit rough around the edges, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone if Guyton makes big leaps after a year or two in the league. He has rare traits at the tackle position.

Fit: One of, if not the biggest riser over the offseason has been Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell. A long-time member of my weekly mocks, Mitchell has always possessed elite cornerback talent, but questions regarding competition were always brought up. 

After dominating the Senior Bowl, Mitchell has locked himself into the first round. Now, the discussion is how early he could be drafted. The fit for the Indianapolis Colts makes a ton of sense, given Gus Bradley’s zone-heavy tendencies.

Height: 6-foot-6

Fit: Two years after drafting Charles Cross and Abe Lucas to be the starting left and right tackle, the Seattle Seahawks go back to the offensive line to find a starter at guard, upgrading the interior offensive line. 

Taliese Fuaga was a dominant right tackle at Oregon State but projects to move inside in the NFL. Fuaga’s ability to play right tackle could come in handy for Seattle due to Lucas’ struggles in 2023. Fuaga has the short-term ability to be a plug-and-play starter at guard and the long-term ability to be a starter at right tackle.

Height: 6-foot-6

Fit: As of today, it does not sound like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Josh Allen will agree on a long-term deal. If that happens, finding his replacement could be the Jaguars’ top priority heading into the draft. 

Jared Verse is a different style of player from Allen. Still, his ability to impact the game as a pass rusher and run defender would give the Jaguars two excellent, three-down options at defensive end with Verse and former first overall pick Travon Walker.

Height: 6-foot-6

Class: Junior

Fit: The musical chair experiment for the Cincinnati Bengals at offensive tackle needs to stop, and spending a first-round pick on JC Latham is a step in the right direction. 

Latham is the draft’s most pro-ready right tackle and would provide the Bengals with a plug-and-play starter, instantly improving their pass protection and run blocking.

Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 207 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: With needs at cornerback and safety, Iowa’s Cooper DeJean is a match made in heaven for the Los Angeles Rams. While I would leave DeJean at cornerback, having him land with a good defensive coordinator to move him around as a matchup piece would be a lot of fun, too. 

DeJean is one of the draft’s most athletic and versatile players regardless of position and could fill two big voids in the Rams' defense if used correctly.

Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 334 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: It’s no surprise the Pittsburgh Steelers will be in the market for a starting center this offseason, and this draft has multiple options to offer in the first two days. 

Jackson Powers-Johnson has flown up draft boards since dominating the Reese’s Senior Bowl. With just one year of starting experience at Oregon, Powers-Johnson is a monster of a center prospect from a size standpoint. He also has the athleticism and nastiness to dominate at guard, too.

Height: 6-foot-5

Class: Senior

Fit: The Miami Dolphins are in an interesting spot heading into 2024. With Christian Wilkins, Da’Shawn Hand and Raekwon Davis expected to hit free agency, the Dolphins will need to add to their defensive line rotation. 

Byron Murphy is an excellent fit to replace or pair with Wilkins. He is also a dominant pass rusher on the interior who also does a nice job of defending the run.

Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 195 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: One of the more disappointing units in 2023 was the Philadelphia Eagles’ secondary. As Darius Slay and James Bradberry regressed, young players Eli Ricks and Keele Ringo did not show signs of promise. 

Kool-Aid McKinstry would fill a huge need long-term and could develop alongside two veteran cornerbacks who have had a lot of NFL success.

Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 295 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: One of the bigger questions in this draft is where Jer’Zhan Newton will end up. As one of the draft's best interior pass rushers, you would expect to see Newton drafted much earlier. The Houston Texans will have a need with many of their interior defensive lineman hitting free agency.

However, with questions regarding his size and ability to hold up against the run, we could see a fall similar to Calijah Kancey’s in 2023. 

Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 315 pounds
Class: Senior

Fit: Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz are hitting free agency, so the Dallas Cowboys could be in the market for a starting left tackle and center. Graham Barton was a three-year starter at left tackle but had an impressive freshman year at center for the Blue Devils. 

Barton projects to be a higher ceiling center than tackle but could fill either need for the Cowboys with starting ability at both spots.

Height: 6-foot-2

Fit: One of the better value selections in the first round could come with Clemson’s Nate Wiggins. Due to Mitchell and Arnold’s rises, Wiggins could see a slight fall from where he was projected to go a few months ago. 

While cornerback isn’t necessarily a huge need for the Green Bay Packers, it is a position they could afford to throw assets at, and the value would be too good to pass up for Brian Gutekunst.

Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 275 pounds
Class: Senior

Fit: Despite a nice rookie season from Yaya Diaby, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look to add talent and youth to the defensive line. 

Bralen Trice is a quality edge rusher option late in Round 1 who should upgrade Tampa Bay’s pass rush, which struggled to generate pressure consistently.

Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 296 pounds
Class: Senior

Fit: The Cardinals overachieved on defense in 2023 but will need to add difference-makers and culture builders on defense heading into 2024. Darius Robinson is a versatile, tough, physical and athletic defensive lineman who can line up anywhere on the field and create chaos. 

Robinson dominated the Senior Bowl and has earned himself first-round discussion heading into the NFL combine.

Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 205 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: It’s no secret the Buffalo Bills are in the market for a WR2 this offseason. Using the draft to find one is probably the Bills’ best option. Brian Thomas Jr. was one of the most productive receivers in the country in 2023, and his game fits in perfectly with how the Bills play offense. 

Thomas’ deep-threat ability and big frame could be the perfect replacement for Gabe Davis and a perfect complement to Stefon Diggs.

Height: 6-foot

Fit: The Detroit Lions’ secondary play was an absolute mess last season. Outside of an outstanding rookie season from Brian Branch, the inconsistency in the secondary led to many high-scoring affairs for the Lions. 

Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is one of two Missouri cornerbacks who should hear their name called in April with the other being Kris Abrams-Dranie. 

Height: 6-foot
Weight: 180 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: In 2023, the Baltimore Ravens had one of the most dominant defensive seasons in recent memory. But losing some key pieces on the defensive line and secondary could lead to some regression in 2024. 

Five players in the secondary are expected to hit free agency, so adding a starting-level cornerback will be a top priority for the Ravens. Kamari Lassiter is a perfect addition to a Ravens defense that prides itself on being physical and versatile.

Height: 6-foot-7

Weight: 328 pounds

Class: Junior

Fit: One of the few weaknesses on the San Francisco 49ers' offense was their right tackle play. Amarius Mims is one of the freakier athletes in this draft class, but injuries and a lack of snaps could end up seeing him fall further than his talent and traits would suggest. Mims would be a perfect fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense and could instantly upgrade their offensive line.

Height: 6-foot

Fit: After a great week at the Senior Bowl, Georgia’s Ladd McConkey is showing up more frequently in first-round mocks. McConkey’s ability to separate as a route runner and be a reliable hands catcher would be a huge addition to the Kansas City Chiefs. 

McConkey would be an excellent complement to Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce to make the AFC Champions even scarier heading in 2024.
