Fit: Another rumor coming out of the combine is Jayden Daniels overtaking Drake Maye as QB2. I don’t buy it. The Washington Commanders made the mistake of passing on Justin Herbert in the 2020 NFL Draft. They should avoid making a similar mistake again by passing on a big-armed, physical, athletic quarterback — Maye.

The 2022 ACC Player of the Year had some struggles at the end of the 2023 season, but some of the discourse surrounding Maye is just ridiculous. He would be a slam-dunk selection for the Commanders, giving them a quarterback prospect with the ceiling to take them to the next level.

Fit: As much as I believe the New England Patriots would be silly to pass up on the quarterback prospect after trading Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars over the weekend, Marvin Harrison Jr. to Patriots smoke is picking up steam. With quarterback and receiver being two of the Patriots' most significant needs, New England should be in a great spot to pick the third quarterback or the top receiver.

Harrison is getting some “generational” praise, so New England could take the higher-ranked prospect and look to solve its quarterback issues via free agency with Russell Wilson, a trade for Justin Fields or Trey Lance or by using the 35th overall pick on Bo Nix. Alternatively, the Patriots could target a top quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft.

They have no good quarterback options on their roster, but with how far away they are from competing, going the “bridge quarterback” route by adding Wilson, Lance or Fields just feels like the better strategy for New England.

Fit: If New England goes wide receiver, the Arizona Cardinals will have multiple calls from teams looking to trade up to draft LSU QB Jayden Daniels. The New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders are all in striking distance, so the Cardinals can go whichever route they prefer in trading back.

After missing out on Harrison, staying within range of Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze would be the best decision here for Arizona. With plenty of draft capital in the next two years, Arizona can move back, pick up additional picks and stay in play for Nabers and Odunze.

Fit: We should get a better idea of the direction in which the Los Angeles Chargers go with the No. 5 overall pick soon. They have significant needs at receiver, tight end and offensive tackle.

Depending on how they handle free agency, the Chargers could go with the best offensive player available. While Nabers, Brock Bowers and Odunze are intriguing, drafting Joe Alt to solidify blocking for QB Justin Herbert is the best long-term investment for the Jim Harbaugh-led Chargers.

Fit: The Harrison and Kyler Murray pairing became extremely popular this offseason. However, with Harrison selected No. 3 overall, the Arizona Cardinals move back to the sixth overall pick to land another high-end playmaker in LSU's Malik Nabers.

Nabers falls in the same tier as Harrison. He offers the size, explosiveness and big-play ability that Arizona's offense lacks. It's tough to find a better scenario for the Cardinals if Harrison is taken ahead of them.

Fit: Like the Maye discourse, I do not buy into Penn State OT Olu Fashanu's fall. With a big hole at left tackle and Alt off the board, the Tennessee Titans can turn to Fashanu as their franchise left tackle.

Fashanu is an NFL-ready pass protector with a high ceiling who should give the Titans an instant upgrade at left tackle and give them a good look at what Will Levis can be as an NFL quarterback with above-average protection.

Fit: We should get a better idea of the Atlanta Falcons quarterback outlook once we see the Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins dominos fall. Early indications are that the Falcons will look into veteran options rather than drafting the No. 4 quarterback with the eighth overall pick.

Fresh off dominating the NFL Combine, Dallas Turner has separated himself as the first defensive player drafted in this class. Turner’s high-end athletic profile and pass rush ability are an ideal fit in a Falcons defense that exceeded expectations in 2023.

Fit: It will be fascinating to see what the Bears do with the ninth pick if the top three wide receivers are off the board. In this scenario, Washington WR Rome Odunze falls into Chicago’s lap — a perfect fit alongside DJ Moore to complement the newly acquired Williams.

Odunze proved his athleticism and competitive nature in Indianapolis a few weeks ago, putting himself into the conversation to be the second receiver drafted. While it’s more likely Nabers will be the second receiver picked, Odunze has the profile to be the best receiver from this class in the next few years.

Fit: This selection will fall 50-50 for New York Jets fans. As much as the Jets need to find offensive tackle help, the playmaking aspect of Brock Bowers' game paired with Aaron Rodgers adds an element to the Jets' offense that could outweigh an offensive lineman.

Bowers’ ability to impact the game as a route runner, ball carrier and overall athlete could be the addition that finally gets the Jets over the top — if they can protect Rodgers up front.

Height: 6-foot-2

Fit: All signs point to Kirk Cousins leaving the Minnesota Vikings this offseason. That would create a big void for Kevin O’Connell’s offense at quarterback. There will be a lot of wild discourse regarding J.J. McCarthy, which will likely not change until draft day. McCarthy is one of the more controversial prospects in this class.

Still, his arm talent and athleticism are well worth considering a first-round selection for quarterback-needy teams. The Vikings fall into that category, and the fit with O’Connell is one of the best for McCarthy.

Fit: After a trade back in the top five, the Cardinals trading back up for Texas DL Byron Murphy II makes a ton of sense. The Cardinals need upgrades along the defensive line, and Murphy’s ability to dominate against the run and the pass makes him one of the best defensive players in this class.

Murphy would be an ideal fit in Jonathan Gannon’s defense and could be a piece to take the Arizona defense over the top after exceeding expectations in 2023. Murphy’s physical and athletic profile, paired with his tape during the last three years, shows he is worth the price.

Height: 6-foot-6

Fit: The Las Vegas Raiders need a franchise right tackle to pair with Kolton Miller. Taliese Fuaga can slide in as a starter at multiple offensive line spots. Fuaga’s nastiness, toughness, athleticism and size would go a long way in building up the Las Vegas offensive line in 2024.

There are questions at quarterback and Josh Jacobs is expected to leave in free agency, so the Raiders are officially rebuilding. Growing the team through the trenches is a step in the right direction.

Height: 6-foot-4

Class: Junior

Fit: Washington OT Troy Fautanu is one of the class' biggest risers. Entering the draft as one of the best left tackles in college football, Fautanu has earned some comps to Zack Martin. Like Martin, Fautanu’s college background was as a left tackle, but his NFL future is as an offensive guard.

Fautanu should have zero issues playing left or right tackle for the New Orleans Saints. Still, his ceiling and impact could be felt more at offensive guard, where he possesses one of the highest ceilings at interior offensive line in this year's draft class. 

Height: 6-foot

Class: Junior

Fit: Because so many offensive linemen, quarterbacks and wide receivers will go in the top 12, some top-end defenders could fall in the top half of the draft. Terrion Arnold is the top cornerback in this draft class, showcasing some of the highest instincts, coverage skills and ball production.

Arnold falling to the Indianapolis Colts would be a massive win for Gus Bradley and the Indianapolis defense. It's also an excellent fit for Arnold.

Height: 6-foot-4

Class: Junior

Fit: New coach Mike Macdonald is in place, and he will have a big say in which defensive players the Seattle Seahawks target. Florida State EDGE Jared Verse is a perfect fit in Macdonald’s defense.

They have a few intriguing pieces in the secondary, with Jordyn Brooks, Bobby Wagner and Leonard Williams expected to test free agency. So, the Seattle brass will focus on rebuilding the front seven as they head into the draft.  

Height: 6-foot-3

Fit: After announcing Brandon Scherff would return in 2024, Jacksonville Jaguars GM Trent Baalke will focus on finding their franchise left guard or center. Jackson Powers-Johnson is the ideal candidate to solidify Jacksonville's interior offensive line, as he is versatile enough to be a quality starter at guard or center. Powers-Johnson is one of the biggest risers because of his dominance at the Reese’s Senior Bowl.

The Jaguars are coming off one of the more disappointing seasons in the NFL and are just a year or two away from making Trevor Lawrence one of the league's highest-paid players. Powers-Johnson will help improve Lawrence’s protection up front and bring more consistency to the running game, helping take pressure off Lawrence’s shoulders.

Fit: The Cincinnati Bengals have dealt with offensive tackle issues for too long. What better draft class to add a solid lineman than this one? Amarius Mims has the athletic traits and the tape to make a case for being the best offensive tackle in this class.

However, with only eight career starts under his belt, his lack of experience is a concern. Mims has solely played right tackle but should have no issues flipping to the left side if necessary. His pass protection and run blocking are near the top of the class, with his lack of college reps being one of the only negatives in his evaluation.  

Height: 6-foot

Fit: The Philadelphia Eagles have four draft picks in the top 100, so we can expect Howie Roseman to be aggressive if players that fit their team are within striking distance. Quinyon Mitchell has flown up draft boards but could go later than expected with the top half of this draft being so offensive-heavy.

He has the size, athleticism, length and tape to battle for the class' top cornerback spot. After dominating the Senior Bowl and blowing up the combine, Mitchell has solidified himself as a top-20 player. 

Height: 6-foot-6

Fit: One year removed from drafting Broderick Jones in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers return to the offensive line to solidify their two tackle spots.

Moving Jones back to his natural position at left tackle and drafting a franchise right tackle in JC Latham could get the Steelers offensive line back to what it once was. Latham is a dominant pass protector at Alabama and has all the traits to develop into a plus run-blocker. He will help Pittsburgh's offense find its identity in 2024.

Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 313 pounds
Class: Senior

Fit: Facing pressing needs at center and a long-term need at left tackle, look for Duke’s Graham Barton to be a popular selection for the Miami Dolphins throughout the pre-draft process. Barton was an excellent three-year starter at left tackle for the Blue Devils, but his higher upside position is likely center, where he played his first year at Duke.

Barton does not possess any one elite trait but is a B-plus prospect across the board. He fills an immediate need at center and a long-term need at left tackle once Terron Armstead calls it quits. 

Height: 6-foot-1

Class: Junior

Fit: While the Los Angeles Rams are not known for trading back, this draft class sets up well for them to move back and land a quality player at a position of need. Cooper DeJean is one of the class' more versatile players, showing he can line up all over the secondary.

He has all the traits to do the same in the NFL. The DeJean and Rams pairing is one of my favorites in this class, filling a huge need for the Rams with a top-ranked player. 

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

Fit: Murphy’s ascension up draft boards has caused Illinois DL Jer’Zhan Newton to fall slightly. Newton's inability to participate in the combine or a pro day due to a foot injury has not helped his draft stock, but his 2023 tape proved he is one of the class' more dominant defensive linemen. Newton is a rare prospect who lacks the ideal size and length for the position.

Without getting official athletic testing numbers this offseason, teams must trust the tape on Newton. The Houston Texans need a difference-maker at defensive tackle alongside Will Anderson, and Newton’s backfield production will be well received in DeMeco Ryans' defense.

Height: 6-foot-1

Class: Junior

Fit: It is no secret the Detroit Lions are looking to improve their cornerback play. Nate Wiggins falling means a simple trade-up to land one of the draft's top cornerbacks is in play. Wiggins’ weight and frame are some of the only concerns in his evaluation.

His coverage skills and toughness will perfectly fit in with Dan Campbell’s locker room. Green Bay and Buffalo are also hunting for cornerback help, so the Lions should aggressively pursue their guy with a roster ready to compete in the NFC for the foreseeable future. 

Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 199 pounds
Class: Senior

Fit: Safety is one of the more significant concerns for the Green Bay Packers defense. Because they have holes at offensive tackle and cornerback, some will be upset taking a non-premium position with a first-round pick.

Minnesota’s Tyler Nubin is a top-30 player in this class and will be in line to be the best players available at a position of need. Nubin’s ball production and skills would be a welcomed addition to the Green Bay secondary, and his ability to step down and play the run is one of the many reasons he is widely considered the top safety in the draft. 

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

Fit: There are some whispers coming out of Indianapolis that Laiatu Latu’s medicals could be concerning. He had a long list of injuries to comb through, each team could view Latu's status differently.

Latu has top-of-the-class tape on the field and a high enough athletic profile to bet on in the NFL. He is only available here because of some medical concerns, but the potential reward is well worth the risk this late in the first round.

Height: 6-foot-2

Class: Senior

Fit: The Denver Broncos are involved in one of the most extensive rebuilds we have seen in recent memory. Recently, the Broncos have moved on from cornerstone pieces to build for the future.

The top four quarterbacks are off the board, so the Broncos continue building for the future by stockpiling draft picks and selecting Oregon QB Bo Nix. Nix will only be a fit for some, but he proved this year how productive he can be when placed in a timing-based offense with good design.

Sean Payton will enjoy Nix’s ability to stay on script and not turn the football over, making them an excellent fit.

Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 209 pounds
Class: Junior

Fit: LSU WR Brian Thomas Jr. is one of the biggest winners this offseason after dominating the combine. Thomas, one of the most impressive athletes in this year's class, would be an ideal fit in the Buffalo Bills offense, given his size and speed. Thomas' profile should allow him to replace Gabe Davis as Buffalo's deep threat.

Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 325 pounds
Class: Senior

Fit: One of the combine's biggest stories was the Dallas Cowboys likely moving on from long-time starter Tyron Smith. Tyler Smith is waiting in the wings, but there is uncertainty over whether Dallas’ front office wants to move him away from his All-Pro position.

Arizona OT Jordan Morgan makes a lot of sense for the Cowboys after they missed out on Barton and Mims. Left tackle, or left guard if Tyler Smith moves, is one of the Cowboys' most significant needs. Morgan has experience at left tackle, but his potential slide inside to guard makes a lot of sense for the Cowboys.

They need to improve their offensive line through the draft and add additional picks to fill other needs. Trading back for someone like Morgan checks both boxes.

Height: 6-foot-2

Class: Junior

Fit: There is uncertainty surrounding the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver room. Bolstering the unit with a first-round talent in Texas WR Adonai Mitchell would provide 2023 MVP Lamar Jackson a high-end, big-bodied, athletic freak at receiver.

There is still much to figure out with Zay Flowers’ off-field issues, and Odell Beckham Jr. will not be back in Baltimore in 2024. There's a chance the Ravens don't have either of their top receivers from last season, making Mitchell the perfect pick.

Height: 6-foot-8

Fit: Right tackle was one of the few weaknesses for the San Francisco 49ers offense in 2023. Oklahoma RT Tyler Guyton is one of the higher-ceiling tackle prospects in this class, but scheme fit, and coaching staff quality are critical for his development.

Guyton proved he can play left and right tackle at the Senior Bowl. He also has the physical and athletic tools to shine in the NFL. Guyton would be an ideal fit for the 49ers, where he could learn from Trent Williams and get a lot of help from Kyle Shannahan.

Height: 6-foot

Fit: One of my favorite fits in this draft is Georgia WR Ladd McConkey landing with the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs. McConkey is one of the draft's most fluid receivers and showcased how great of an athlete he was at the combine.

McConkey would upgrade the Kansas City receiver room with Marque Valdez-Scantling released and Travis Kelce’s career winding down. McConkey’s advanced route running and separation skills will open things up even more for Andy Reid and allow things to feel a bit easier on Patrick Mahomes.
